I use to watch this show every week and looked forward to it. I got sick of this canned, phony drama and lost most of my interest. Id rather watch as dozer push dirt around for an hour than watch a fake, manufactured conflict.
Sure is crazy that Tony owns dozens of mining operations and yet happens to show up the very second Parker starts putting dirt on one of his dozens of claims.
I think Parker and Tony are a lot closer then the show wants us to believe. These guys are real Gold Miners driven to success by incredible dedication and hard work. Tony I believe respects very few of the shows other participants but Parker he feels has put in his "dues" to achieve his success.
This is the first time I've seen anything from Discovery in many many years. Nothing has changed. Still the same contrived drama. I'll check in again in another 10 years but I don't hold out much hope for any actual interesting programing.
Why would Parker treat Tony this way. It doesn't make sense to me. All he had to do was to ask Tony and explain why he wants to dump soil on Tony's land, he knows that he is going to back fill after extracting the Gold. Why would anyone treat a naibour this way. Parker is a FC to do this!
Parker had to do this as this is what the Discovery script called for...You do know everything on this show is scripted for the audience entertainment right?
Not one single gold miner on any show has ever been able to keep his/her schedule and there is always a disaster that will most likely, irrecoverably ruin their entire season. He/she will lose everything if it doesn't work out!...Every miner...Every time!
they would do the same thing for the daughters baby she had if they could get away with it TONYS DAUGHTYER CANT LOOSE THIS BABY OR THE ENTIRE SEASON WILL BE IN JEOPARDY!!! ONE MISCARRIAGE COULD SPELL DISASTER!!!!
I wouldnt feel to bad for parker, I wouldnt say hes chasing gold, hes found over $14million I thinks he "finding" gold.. a lot of time invested but worth it.
“If they can’t do this bolt up, that’s it for the entire season” Cue tense music. “With all the will in the world, they managed to do the bolt up, the entire worlds mining process can now carry on”
It's a love-hate-love-hate relationship. BTW, Tony is REALLY abrasive. Parker is REALLY mercurial, impulsive, hyper-aggressive. So, it's a real bromance. They are perfect for each other.
If this is what humans do with machines to the land, then those science fiction dystopia movies are not so far fetched..Imagine when AI starts looking for gold
you know forrests and meadows or whatever the areas natural habitat was before mining commenced has to restored when the operation is over right? the dont just leave the giant holes and scarred landscape
after mining, do they just leave the ground like that and go on to the next claim? Or do they have to restore the environment like commercial mines do?
they follow strict laws tehy might leave a divit in the ground but will have to plant trees and do some dirt moving to make the ground an ecosystem in a few years.
They are held to the same standard. They do luck out, as they never dig all that deep, and the forest is ready to make everything normal, rather soon. They don't use explosives, poisons. Nothing stops Mother Nature from soon taking over. Their big issue is keeping the streams clear for spawning fish and reshaping the topsoil to imitate all surrounding terrain.
Mining coal in New Zealand had a guy cleaning the overburden off the coal seam, 40 tonne, it threw a track so he just walked it along then down to the haul.rd ,I was waiting in a haul truck, he.just lifted the bung side up and slewed it round as the gd side tracked forward, pretty quickly too ,I was most impressed
Maybe if he took care of his equipment. It would have new rails and new front idlers. Then maybe he wouldn’t have to adjust the tracks all the way out to get rid of the sag/slack.
Actually, as any tanker could tell you, brutal terrain + an insane rush => thrown tracks OR a need to adjust them at the start of every day. Which is something that a placer miner will simply never do. This is a crowd of plungers -- and youngsters, too.
No. It was his DAD'S money and big connections in construction -- especially getting terrific deals with Volvo and Cat. Those were NOT deals // financings that Parker could've EVER pulled off on his own. It has been his DAD'S knowledge of how to schedule work, the details involved in scheduling stripping operations, in particular, that count.
Parker is going to be providing Tony's sluices LICENSED water. An active water license has been a nightmare for Tony. The water rights are worth MANY times over the insult to Tony's pride. That's why his wife chilled his jets.
Forced drama for the TV audience. The real headache is that Tony will be owed gold per the terms of their deal -- of which the audience is told nothing.
Fake drama stirred up by the show's producers. If they didn't come up with these "dramatic moments", they think people won't watch. They don't get that people want to enjoy personalities along with learning about this type of mining. I just came across this and won't be watching it. I gave up on these type of shows years ago. Peace
The land will be fine. Nothing they are doing is more than pushing dirt around. They don't use explosives nor poisons. When the season's over, they will bring the soil back into shape. It's usually the case that the wildlife is in MUCH better shape than before. Varmits LOVE fallen trees to hide and breed amongst. Owls, hawks simply HAVE TO HAVE open ground to feed themselves. A mature forest looks pretty -- and is pretty sterile.
They shouldn't even be using articulated rock trucks -- any brand. BUT, Volvo is kicking them a HUGE rebate -- so those trucks are practically free to the placer miners. Tony & Parker would be better off with a K-Tec scraper -- or its competitors. ( Such scrapers cut your manning in HALF. They load themselves. Further, they perfectly mate with peeling off SLUSH early in the Spring. You want permafrost removed as SLUSH every time. You don't want to deal with it totally frozen like a rock nor runny as mud. Yet, what do you see, show after show? Permafrost or mud. Cute, no?
If your forming an actual friendship an team then you should've asked Tony first. Also you can't use the past against Tony now that your suppose to work together...
I used to watch this show and loved it but once i started thinking , do they ever replant trees or shrubs etc, so far never a show of them giving back to the land that they take take take from . kinda selfish if they dont
Tree growth is so intense up there that there is actually no need to plant them. All that is required is land restoration. Before you know it, you'll have new growth just all over. That green forest you see in the background -- was at one time cut all the way to the ground.
@Wayne Flanigan once stripped, it's never the same and the reclamation in most cases is half-assed. When the company goes broke, which they all do eventually, the state or feds have to take care of it on taxpayer dime.
@@padar04john51 yeah the completely flat landscapes with a bunch of massive heaps of rocks, others of dirt, and other debris scattered throughout will blend in perfectly with the rest of the forest...
@@andrewjensen8189 let me know when it adds up to a million square miles. which is way less than 1 % of canada's land. you want to gripe about something that takes up way more land gripe about roads.
I would hope parker has alot of respect for Tony givin that he gave parker his first big chance, parkers hustle is real but may have takin alot longer if at all to happen without Tonys help getting started imo..
They do all of this to make it interesting so that more people watch this show about fake "gold miners" if this show was actually real why isn't everyone doing it?
Do they reclaim the land after mining, I don’t profess to have any knowledge about mining but it looks bad and surely they reclaim the land and improve it for the future?!
ITS ACTUALLY AWESOME TO SEE TONY BEETS EATIN CROW FOR A CHANGE. I KNEW SOONER OR LATER MY MONEY BAGS WOULD EVENTUALLY GET HIS COME UPENCE. WAY TO GO PARKER
Oh wow Amazing Editor's Somehow right after Parker talks about tonys ground and getting off of it he magically blows a track Horrible show now fake drama everything....
Never knew Kylo Ren was a gold miner
Pretty successful one at that to lol.
I knew he looked familiar
When I seen star wars I said "I never knew Parker was an actor".
He was a miner long before he became Kylo Ren :D

Well said!!!
Yeah. You pretty much have to treat these shows like movies and regular tv shows.
Yeah I don't watch the show either anymore.
Everyone of these type shows are the same,scripted!! As for myself I don't watch any of them.
Use the bucket to lift that side and have the excavator next to it nudge the track back on the sprocket.

Parker and Tony are friends in real life and often hang out and do things together in reality Tony probably gave him permission
Are you implying tony gave Parker a HJ??
He deserves everything he owns because the hard work
These shows being staged is getting so old.
I love the added sounds. LOL
It was old 10 years ago. Discovery used to have interesting programming pre-2000s.
Not one single gold miner on any show has ever been able to keep his/her schedule and there is always a disaster that will most likely, irrecoverably ruin their entire season. He/she will lose everything if it doesn't work out!...Every miner...Every time!

Shows staged.... Terrible to watch anymore
I have never seen Tony lose his cool. Parker is a rich crybaby.
its for show, you realise that? same as most shutdown... imagine week after week of normal sluicing, nothing to show
Ok he just happen to be passing by and saw it happen, this show is so staged.
"What the fkc do they think they're doing?" 😂
of course it is. There wouldn't be a show without the staged drama. It's the same for any docuseries.
ya just passing by with a camera crew in the back🤣 is the gold even real in this show.....
Of course it is, everything is staged. They actually don't do very much mining. Everything is fully funded by Discovery.
The boy owed the old man “ a call “ first .😐
Tony Beets is actually Anthony Hopkins deep undercover, researching a role.
Na hes hulk hogan's brother
So sad. I remember when Parker's father tried to warn him about mining and how much time in life would be wasted chasing gold and he was right.
I wouldnt feel to bad for parker, I wouldnt say hes chasing gold, hes found over $14million I thinks he "finding" gold.. a lot of time invested but worth it.

Cue tense music.
“With all the will in the world, they managed to do the bolt up, the entire worlds mining process can now carry on”
hahahahaha spot on, still entertaining tho.
The producers were like "hey you know, Parker is dumping on your claim...". All for the camera.
Parker should respect Tony! Parker got where he is today because of Tony… I wouldn’t want Parker as a friend! 😂
It's a love-hate-love-hate relationship. BTW, Tony is REALLY abrasive. Parker is REALLY mercurial, impulsive, hyper-aggressive.
So, it's a real bromance. They are perfect for each other.
He can still retrieve his property no matter if the lease or licence is up.
If this is what humans do with machines to the land, then those science fiction dystopia movies are not so far fetched..Imagine when AI starts looking for gold
Those dystopian movies aren't so far fetched yes, but for entirely different reasons.
Reminds me when I was in an "enrichment" program for school in the 90s and we used computer programs that would find where to dig for oil.
you know forrests and meadows or whatever the areas natural habitat was before mining commenced has to restored when the operation is over right? the dont just leave the giant holes and scarred landscape

With over 25000 hrs myself I can say with some conviction the Parker is a very average operator.

Parker is IMPULSIVE. He ALWAYS over-reaches -- and when he gets burned -- it's not put on TV.
Yeah Tony really lost his mind on that one
Why couldn’t Parker push the overburden onto the mind land there they already had
Time. It’s easier to move it 50 feet to the right than 1,000 to the left.
The fact that Tony listens and has so much respect for his wife makes him an even better guy
Yes I love that about Tony. I get sick of the Beeping out of Tony's swear words , just leave them in. We all know what he's saying.
@@denisejeffery3602 yea I wholeheartedly agree haha I say put these “Tony Quotes” onto T shirts I say 🤷♂️😂😂💯

Mini the only person on the planet who can keep Tony in line lol
How much do you want to bet that Tony, Parker, and the producers of the show planned this all out ahead of time for drama!
not at all
Everything is planned.. its a joke
Usually the track falls off the idler not the sprocket
Old footage.... Not interested in old footage rehashed.
That’s right
ONLY 3 DAYS OLD, CLOWN
Parker's always been a spoiled brat. If it weren't for grandpa's money, he'd never have started, let alone made it.
No. It was his DAD'S money and big connections in construction -- especially getting terrific deals with Volvo and Cat.
Those were NOT deals // financings that Parker could've EVER pulled off on his own.

Parker is going to be providing Tony's sluices LICENSED water. An active water license has been a nightmare for Tony.
The water rights are worth MANY times over the insult to Tony's pride. That's why his wife chilled his jets.
Lol. Tony goes beastmode....Until his wife says 2 sentances and the camera gets like 5 hyperbolic shots.
You wouldn't tune in if there's wasn't some Jerry Springer moments
Because there is obviously some "inspector" there with a stop watch ready to clock in at midnight. Come on give me a brake.

Forced drama for the TV audience.
The real headache is that Tony will be owed gold per the terms of their deal -- of which the audience is told nothing.
Wow, that music when Tony shows up. Just a tad dramatic. How much did discovery pay for that score?
Right ✅

Parker needs to grow up. He should be doing the right thing no matter what he is a disappointment. He also needs to learn to control his temper

What season of Gold Rush was this?
This is why they call it "Reality TV" but it's nothing but B.S.

Dumbledore is calmly raging at Kylo Ren for dumping dirt on his land
One day Parker is gonna eat a fist sandwich.
They load rock trucks backwards. Especially when loading from the side. Load from tail to front. Can always fit in an extra bucket or two that way.
Yeah but it is slower. They do this for speed and efficiency.
They shouldn't even be using articulated rock trucks -- any brand. BUT, Volvo is kicking them a HUGE rebate -- so those trucks are practically free to the placer miners.

In the US and Canada the mining permit requires the land to be restored.
