This show is absolutely manufactured garbage. If you are a Foreigner in a Foreign country, one of the first things that should come to mind is to mark off your claim correctly.The dude in the cowboy hat is a jack-off. The scripted drama is stupid. I watched a few episodes of Season 3 while in a hotel room in Thailand. It's a good thing that I had a Thai Lady coming to visit me later. She made me forget the absolute idiocy of this show.I agree with most of the other reviews about this show. They really insult the viewer. It only took 3 episodes to make the decision to flush this piece of garbage.

Red Zone lost? No because the Zone was already owned by another company.This group keeps "finding" new areas with gold or other valuable minerals but if you dig just a little bit with google, all the places they go has been examined by others. So all in all this is a fake show where they will never get a "claim" To see such a show on Discovery saddens me./Allan Come on Discovery, live up to you name.This stupid 10 line rule! I've seen much shorter reviews than mine and yet I am forced to write lots of irrelevant stuff yet again just to get it passed....annoying :/

I had started watching this series and was very interested in the show initially. There was some great information about Greenland, and prospecting, and the cast had done a reasonably good job in presentation. After watching into the second and third season, I am, to be honest, disappointed with the progress the show has made. The audience is treated like they have no intelligence and the extra "drama" and overdone emphasis on the "danger" that exists, well, we do not need it hammered into our heads. This has proved in itself to be a very scripted show. Nothing new is brought forward on the show, even in the interaction among the team, or in the actual expedition. It now is just fake and quite frankly an insult to watch as an audience member. I would have more respect for the cast and crew, and producers of the show, if they discussed more of the techniques, people's backgrounds, what do they actually do, take some time to get to know each of the individuals, maybe we could relate somehow to these people? (or are they just actors for hire? then say so). Maybe they could go over the actual map as to who has claims where? are they companies? countries? Which countries are actually there and for what target? It's hard to believe after 8-10 months of planning that there was not enough fuel to run the dredger. No one went though the check list? Difficult for the viewers to believe that mistake. The temper-tantrums amid the group is embarrassing to watch. How are we suppose to take this show seriously with these childish outbursts? Americo, and John are the worst there. These boys are really not qualified, assuming the show is honest about what they do for a living, to be on this type of expedition. The helicopter dropped off the first group and not one person stopped to look for the massive boxes for their camp before the helicopter took off leaving them stranded. Another slap in the face to the audience. Please, do not make another season of this. I implore you. It is really poorly done, poorly scripted, and quite honestly, embarrassing to admit I've watched it this far, but it's like watching a car accident when you have no control, and all you can do is hope for a descent outcome at the end. I have never written a review before, but I could not hold it in anymore and decided to express my opinion. You, the producers, have the tools to do a great job, but you dropped the ball on the one in a big way. Sorry guys.

If you like watching a show with a supposed "team" of amateur gold miners which the script constantly pits each member against each other in an overly dramatic context, then this is for you. Otherwise spare yourself the agony. Although, it could be especially good for people who like to see grown men wearing eyeliner. Like the Josh guy. I mean your heading into the complete wilderness but one of your necessary items, as a dude, is make up? You've got some serious issues. But in all seriousness this is just the most pathetic excuse of good TV. Discovery continues to deliver just the worst scripted crap on television. Just a joke.
