ubdb-85089 Every episode is the same stuff. Repetition of the same footage over and over and over and over and over again. Flashbacks and "now on's" every other minute. For some reason the makers must think I am stupid to fall for these fillers. Well, I might have been, but not any more. Goodbye.

johnbrandt-61369 In the beginning I thought Shawn and his dad an crew were the best and honest . Till season 5 when i seen how much Shawn and his creep of a dad was short changing their own crew.Paying them 50 ounces of gold when they got over 1300 ounces that season.I understand they're just employees but they did all the work when the creep was hiding in the cabin on the C.R. and Shawns in jail. And he leaves his employee to argue with the land owners but comes out like a big shot with a gun after they leave ! CREEP. And when its time to pay the guys it's like the employees should get down and kiss their feet. Creep and Shawn I thought they were going to start to cry when they handed over their employees wages.but what really lost my respect was Shawn buying the Kellys equipment out from under them .Are the that afraid of the Kellys? Shawn looked like he was holding his cheeks himself walking back to his shack.Shawns such a chicken afraid of his dad the big mouth Creep. i think he's more then just a gold miner i think he probably owns a white van?

startortoise If you are tired of the Hoffman's debacles but still enjoy watching shows that take place in Alaska and deal with hunting for gold, this show is a gold mine! (pun intended). I like all the characters on this show, especially Zeke, Emily, and the Kelly's. There is a lot of danger in the show and it keeps your attention all the way through. I'm really hoping there will be a season 9!

Niklas Starow I have followed a few of these reality-shows the last couple of years, and this show i have to rate No3 after Pawn Stars and Auction Hunters.It has drama, stupidity, odd fellows and fellas, fun dialog and GOLD. I'd say it is way better then Gold Rush Alaska, but i guess that is a matter of taste. Only thing i can object too is the difference in materials they use for getting the gold up, i mean, how can the others compete against a Land-based mining-facility converted to be on the sea?I hope that they keep the "psycopath" another season, makes it more interesting as long as he doesn't get into another fistfight.
