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.
If I were leading a class of management trainees, I would highly recommend that they watch this series. Dave Turin inspires and builds a strong team. I amazed at the negative reviews. I was captivated by this series. I have watched the other gold series with Hoffman whining, Parker telling his people to "figure it out"., and Tony Beets being bleeped every other line. This was so refreshing.
I also like the Freddy Dodge series with Juna Ibarra. Nice guys!
Of course I may be biased, I love a series with Christian, family men who care about each other and their families.

Dave Turin is the best of the best. Not because of his gold mining skills. But the love for the people he employs.
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 like this show so far. I agree with character development. So far Casey, Chris, and Nathan seem like great team players. I like the little funny things that happen during the show. Casey's funny faces and the part about the cow is funny. They all seem like good southern type guys. So glad to see things turned out good for Casey and Dave. Both seemed like they were working with *******'s before. I am rooting for this team and they all deserve some good gold!

If you thought Gold Rush had gone downhill, this starts at the bottom and works its way down.
He has investors and wastes time looking in areas where there is nothing then surprise, one of the investors has property he can mine. Said investor then pulls out at the last minute meaning they have to find somewhere else. So he has to invest his own money to dig under a lake... and all the while it's full of 'if we don't find gold soon we're all gonna die penniless' You've heard it all before and it's worse than ever.
This is obviously scripted with a weak story line - watch when he goes to Dad for sage advice. His Dad looks bewildered and basically just tells him to go do it. Probably to get rid of the whining idiot.
Overly dramatic, thin plot, no real reason for this at all, just History squeezing the last drop out of the gold searching story and scraping the barrel while doing it.
Don't waste your time, go to the dentist and get a tooth pulled, it'll be less painful.
It's a 1 because I can't select 0.

The most unlikable bunch of guys on Tv they are always calling each other family, brothers, then at the first sign of trouble they are back stabbing each other, moaning whining accusing. Only nice guy on it was Jessie and he gone now. Come on Dozer Dave are these the best guys you could find?
Why are you all crying like little bit****
you wouldnt last a fkn day in that business.
If you dont like it be quiet because no one cares about your stupid opinion.

OMG, could TV show producers seem any more desperate to milk every last ounce of footage out of a franchise that's already been beaten to death? This reeks of unmistakable phoniness, you can see the nonstop scripted (very poor) acting that tries desperately to be "reality" programming. Idiotic and vapid storyline, mind-numbingly-stupid plot twists, with poor Dave looking hither and yon for something decent to mine.
SAVE YOURSELF BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!! After about an hour of watching this dreary, oddly-draining, pointless drivel, you'll want to stab yourself in the eyes so you can't watch anymore. And then run out and deliberately try to catch the coronavirus so you can have a swift death with at least *some* dignity.

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.

Way too much emotional bs. The big fat dumb mechanic needs to shut up. Oh it feels so good to turn on the plant, it feels so good to wash rocks, it feels so good to have water, blah blah blah. Just shut up already loudmouth!!
I had to finally Google..."Dave Turin is an idiot." I guess if I Googled anyone of notoriety I might find the same but His loyalty and respect to anyone is based only on his beliefs and benefits.
His saying "Family", only seams a metaphor.
Blowhard Dave, noted historian in his own twisted mind, likes to invoke the memory of "the old timers." Davey-Boy must have skipped some school because he seems to have forgotten a few minor details. Guess what, Blowhard? The "old timers" committed the genocide that ruthlessly murdered the Native Americans, sweeping them from the land Blowhard and Friends seem to believe is their birthright. Their bogus faith in God, the quaint commitment to family, their stilted piety - it is all so sickening. You can't have it both ways, unless of course you're Blowhard Dave.
