ON a cooler note, after seeing those awesome Fluorite Crystals on Barite a few episodes ago, I got wind that they were selling some of the pieces on ebay and had to get one of my own!

Disappointed they used the Dorris large operation as the example, giving people the impression that the average claim owner needs to do a bond for thousands of dollars. AND that they gave an Amanda sound bite in the segment... hello pot; I'm kettle! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

AND that they gave an Amanda sound bite in the segment... hello pot; I'm kettle! S04/E09 The Good: Amazing Fluorite finds by the Dorris' Rich's endeavors and his AMAZING Topaz Eagle sculpture The Bad: Discussion with Crystal Dorris regarding claim staking. She left viewers with the impression that it will cost the average claimant $6K to stake. The average claimant actually pays $212 for staking. The big difference is that the Dorris family is operating on a large scale (excavators, blasting, etc.). Those activities require the Dorris' to fork out far more $$ than the average Joe staking a Location Claim. The producers/editors failed to clarify or include this fact, that part was probably left on the cutting room floor. Is it the show's prerogative to discourage people from staking claims? The Ugly: Amanda Atkins. Neither she (nor Jessica) are ugly by any means. The fact that the producers of this program still include Amanda in episodes is beyond me. She is a known claim jumper and mineral trespasser, it is public record, she has been caught and charged. She is a shame to the mining community in Colorado. At least they show her on someone's legitimate claim now (with permission) but she has lost ALL credibility.... not a true explorer. In this episode she was "prospecting" another claim owner's discovery (with permission and contract of course). This show could do much better. There are many attractive female prospectors who respect the Federal mining laws and perform their due diligence if the show needs that element. Producers: WAKE UP, snap out of it... she has you in a trance. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Disappointed you used the Dorris' large scale operation as the example. This left viewers with the impression that it will cost the average claimant $6K to stake.

Those activities require the Dorris' to fork out far more $$ than the average Joe staking a Location Claim. Would have been beneficial to the average person to follow up with a segment with a claim like Rich's, which shouldn't require a reclamation bond. Speaking of Rich, that eagle carving was AMAZING!! Thanks for bringing this show to TV. Hope to see another season next year! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

Posted by Jessica on Facebook Looks like My digging partner from the TV show (you know who) is trying to get me kicked out of the 22nd street show. As I am standing with security guards. Telling me I am "trespassing" I talked with management and they said that they were told I had publicly posted that I planned on stealing from the show. They were professional and after hearing my side allowed me back in with restrictions to avoid said accuser. It's insane that this woman and her friends go to great lengths to slander my name, harass me and ultimately cause me financial harm. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

Diggin' In! Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: 7-January 15 Member No.: 119,732	I just checked facebook and Jessica says A.A.A tried to get her kicked out of Tucson Gem show. Told the vendors it was because Jessica was all over social media saying that she planned on robbing the show. Riiiiiduculous. Anyone stupid enough to believe this? I mean, If you're gonna rob someone ... if you are smarter than a 2nd grader you wouldn't go on social media saying that you're gonna do it! A.A.A is afraid that Jessica is gonna come for the stones that she owes her and refuses to give her. Guess you can't call this case claimjumping. Shes just a plan theif for this situation. That girl hasnt' gotten one stone that her and A.A.A dug together accordin to Jessica. I guess A.A.A needs the money for all the hospital bills from her licking uranium off rocks last summer.

What a score for the first dig! I like a good carved stone and Rich's topaz eagle head is awesome! The Bad: Several mistakes in the claim process were shown in that segment. Some of them seem to be common mistakes from my research. The Ugly: I don't think the producers are in a trance. They are more interested in preserving ratings as opposed to preserving integrity. The saga continues.... --------------------

If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven....
