    Parker Schnabel is in a remote claim in Bolivia to test and prospect, aiming to determine whether the ground is worth future investment. He has the crew build a basic sluice to assess the true value of the ground.

    Think its hilarious that they had to build a sluice. There are small light wieght sluices that are built exactly for this. Your prospecting for gold supposedly why not be prepared. Try watching some Dan Hurd videos to learn how to responsibly prospect

      Showed up, started in with a sluice, genny and pump. Seemed prepared to me. Just because he didn't spend on some super small prebuilt sluice box does not mean he wasn't prepared.

      @@shalakabooyaka1480 yes it does. If you go prospecting for gold do you go completely unprepared. They managed to remember all the camera equipment. Supposed to be big money miners but they never have the gear to sample stuff. The time they spent getting local stuff together to build a low grade sluice could have been spent running material to get a better idea on what was there.
      So let's say you own a gold claim and 2 groups wants to run tests on it to see if your claim has value. One brings modern gear that is supposed catch majority of gold to sample your claim. The other slaps stuff together and builds a poor grade sluice that the California gold rush 49'ers would have said was low grade. Which company's test has more value. Not to mention there is now a low grade sluice rotting away in Bolivia.

      @@shalakabooyaka1480 well all our families can't own a gold mine we get to go run. They do dumb stuff like this for TV. It's kinda like calling a plumber and he says sure I can fix your plumbing but I need to borrow your tools to do it and I have plenty of duct tape so it's all good. He obviously knows how to get mines up and running. He also understands machinery, but he is not a prospector. The claims he uses have already been tested and vetted by others. Being a mine operator the prospecting he is doing overseas is a learning curve for him. now once he settles on a spot to open a mine overseas his knowledge how to operate one will come into play.

    I wonder how high is that place. Employees could suffer from height disease, that means they will have to spend weeks gradualy rising altitude, while doing nothing. Hiring locals is the best option, but due to population scarcity there will not be enough qualified workers. Then there will be people traveling up and down with cargo trucks, I think the best option would be to use high pressure cabins to not expose drivers to changes in pressure every day. This technology is quite common with military trucks, where it is used to keep chemical weapons outside.
