Did anyone else catch the final episode on NATGEO of this? They didn't find any gold but they found a ruby deposit where the rock was impregnated with small rubies. They were digging them out with a knife. If it comes on again I'll dvr it and get some pictures. I was impressed!

I agree with Chris,
The entire series seemed to be scripted. I watched every episode and only learned something of value in the last 5 minutes of the last show, "what Rubies look like in host rock". I had high hopes for this but was extreamly let down when the camera spent more face time on a 50 year old spoiled brat than on prospecting. I think that the producers/media feel this type of drama sells better than focusing on true prospecting. I hope someday a prospecting show will come along that is filmed and produced by, oh I don't know, Prospectors maybe. Any takers? Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
