Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine

Same old show, nothing new. They all fail eventually. Talk about losing food for there kids mouths with simple work problems that anyone would encounter on a daily basis. Why so dramatic.....

I've been a huge fan of Gold Rush since season 1, and have watched every episode up until now. Where the normal Gold Rush feels less scripted than Dave Turin's Lost mine, it is still a decent watch. There are some very cringe moments in which the crew praises Dave Turin as if he is some saint, which gives me the impression that there was a set agreement at the start of the season to praise Dave at every opportunity. The exploration of other mines is interesting, but the calculations afterwards are just odd and it feels like they're just naming (big) numbers to sound interesting. Where I rate Gold rush normally a 8, I rate this show a 6.

Just a very unlike able miner who breaks whatever rules he wants

I have always enjoyed watching Gold Rush and especially Dave Turin's Lost Mine. Dave seems to be the real deal who takes responsibility for his own mistakes and stands behind his crew. I recently saw the episode where Dave visits the Nixon Fork Mine in Alaska. I was once the Chief Geologist at the Nixon Fork Mine when it was being run by Fire River Gold. If there are going to be more episodes on the Nixon Fork Mine, I would like to be involved. I think I can bring some additional reality to the program by instilling a little more "real" geology. It was sad to see the 10 stamp, Stamp Mill building collapsed. When I was working the Nixon Fork Mine, the building was mostly intact and was truly an amazing mill. Nixon Fork has intriguing geology and exceptionally rich pockets of gold. The last drillhole, I drilled contained 4 zones of narrow high-grade the richest was 4.5m of 1120grams per ton gold. I would love to contribute! Scott McKeag.

Dave Turin is the best of the best. Not because of his gold mining skills. But the love for the people he employs.
