Quoted:
On the Gold Fever show on the outdoor channel years ago.The host Tom Massie was talking about guys who dredge in Dry suits in the Bering Sea.Well the noise of the dredge and them sucking up sand and gravel would attract Killer Whales! They would swim by and have a look at what they were doing.  Fuck. That. Shit. Serious. I am more afraid of orcas than i am of a great white. They will kill the fuck out of you and you dont even need to actually be swimming/diving in the water. I will pass. |

WHY did they get this guy to narrate the series? I fucking hate how cheesy he sounds; reminds me of Pitchmen with Sully and Billy Mays.

Was it 48.5 and 5.5 oz? Not bad for a few hours. Them clowns better get them thrusters fixed with that 70K. I see the Hoffmans builing a barge.

Being a commercial diver, and working in up to 200' of water, on multi-million dollar jobs all I can say is,
DAMN that's an easy day! Jump, run a suction hose for a couple hours, shallow water, hot water machine for the suit and all! If anyone wants to pay for the equipment and lease, I'll dive for you!!! |

"Master in Opera" = WASTE OF TIME AND HARD-EARNED MONEY. Wise up, babe.
 But she's looking more and more hot...Scott and Steve fucking deserve each other. Scott likes to be pissed off and in somebody's ass all the time and Steve's an annoying little pussy who likes to grate on peoples' nerves and patience 24/7. To the guys running the big barge, here's a NOVEL idea: Take some of that $95k you've dug up and FIX YOUR GODDAMN OUT-DRIVES FOR FUCK'S SAKE!  Pretty stupid and dangerous to have to row your rig back and forth with the excavator. $20 says that piece of equipment goes down next episode while they're out and can't get themselves back in. Fucking stupid. Also, I don't see how this equipment hasn't rusted apart yet; saltwater is EXTREMELY corrosive and that environment is just gnarly.I liked the ingenious water heater that Ian and Shawn built. That part was super cool and I hope those boys get on the gold. And damn Nome, Alaska looks like a dirty place - third-world almost. The people running these dredge rigs are some rough and grizzled sumbitches. |

I hope the local assayer is carrying a gun.
One scene, guys are starting a knife fight at the bar - meanwhile the assayer is walking around with thousands of dollars in cash. That one prospector/diver reminds me of Quentin Tarantino (who has the "Opera girl" as a partner) is living in a glorified TENT on the beach - where does he keep his cash that is safe? I think the attention this series made will draw more predators to these folks next season. |

I'm really impressed with this Captain.
His rig, his crew, and level of preparedness have set new standards for excellence. His management style has motivated his crew to performing beyond their peak - with amazing feats of courage, dedication, and most of all: gold production. No matter what the unexpected brings - this Captain steps up, takes responsibility - and sets the course for success. He is absolutely inspirational.  Captain Scott of the Wild Ranger - undisputed winner of the Costa Concordia's "Excellence in results award" - and the US Coast Guard Alaska's coveted "Most crew members sacrificed in the line of duty award". My only hope is that his talent isn't wasted by the wealth that finding hundreds of dollars in gold can bring. He has a solid future in motivational speaking engagements, perhaps a position as an appointee in obama's administration as a business adviser. I suspect you all agree - this Captain is going places. |
