American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch

This is the worst mining show on TV all they do is talk they never find a produce any gold they need to get some young dudes in there and blow the 1 2 and 3 out literally quit messing around.

This show should've been on Prime time TV. I struggled weekly to find the next episode. I signed up for Fox Nation just to watch it. I canceled my subscription once it was over. This show should be picked up by a REAL STATION!!!!!! Hope it does.

This is a nice change from the usual Alaska based gold shows. This is set in Montana and is based on an old legend of a hidden mine vein. I thoroughly enjoy the tales of the miners and their chase of the legend. The music in this one sets it apart. I found a new genre of music with this one "Dark Country".

Story line is very interesting and draws you in with the promise of a possible big pay day for the cast. It offers all the mystery, history, hype, teases, what ifs, danger and drama. All the while, leading you to believe they are only moments away from cracking open the mystery and hitting it rich. Only to be spoiled by some unforeseen event. Even after two seasons, they have yet to even discover ANYTHING remotely resembling a scrap of gold. This is just another camera crew following a group of people searching for riches. Riches that they never find.

Most of us know mining is hard work, but they never thought of renting oxygen tanks and masks (scuba gear) to go into the "dead air" AND THEN, push or pump the bad air out?

Shouldn't they be using long measuring tapes or something to MAP the mines better? I haven't even seen any analysis of the ore vein directions using INSTRUMENTS. Gold is dense. Where are the gravity meters to determine the denser ore that simply isn't seen.

I have a feeling after every commercial break that this show was pitched to the History Channel, but even they passed. If you need a recap after every commercial break, then your commercial breaks are too long!
