I'm not really familiar with the Gold Rush show that Dave used to be on. I may have watched a few episodes years ago. But, I can't really remember his role in it. This one is good, however. I do believe the "investors" portion of the show is just a scripted story. Seriously, does anyone think that part was real? When they actually started mining though, the show was great. As was the prospecting of sites beforehand. The only thing that actually bothers me about the show is that it seemed to only last 4 episodes. As soon as you get interested with the first 3 shows you get the #4, end of the season show. Didn't like that at all. UPDATE: I've seen the first 4 Episodes of season 2 and I'm not impressed. At the first sign of trouble, Dave picks up and starts looking for new ground instead of sitting down and figuring out what the problem is. His guys are working their behinds off trying to find better ground on the claim they're already set up on and Dave's on the road looking for new ground. SHAMEFUL! Get your act together Dave. 2021 Update: We're into season 3 now. They're having a good season and everyone is happy. Dave's dad died and I feel like they 'milked it' for ratings. Now Jesse Goines dies of a suspected heart attack. He was one of the really likable characters and that saddens me. But, he died doing what he loved during their best season ever. So, he died happy doing what he loved doing.. How many people get to go out that way?
Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine
(2019– )
Fair series, for what it is. The loss of Jesse Goines saddens me.
