Long scenes of poor expedition planning decisions and foul ups. Then they go to commercial. When they come back, they spend half the next session recapping the last session's nonsense. When they finally get down to dredging, they recover a few small colors and act like they are a big success. The recovered enough to buy a cup of coffee. They could have done better gold panning at a local state park beach.
Here is the big fraud giveaway: In one of their narrated animations explaining how gold is naturally deposited in rivers, they incorrectly depict and explain that gold is deposited on outside bends by means of centrifugal force. Are you kidding me?! Do a youtube search producers! Gold falls from suspension on INSIDE bends due to low pressure. High velocity flows (outside bends) flush heavy material to the next low pressure zone.
In the end, it is just another "reality TV" show, not based in any reality. A made up adventure for those who will never leave the comfort of the sofa.
