the show came back on last night! 3 episodes. the second episode "the mountian shakes" steve broncato was complaining that his Hilti hammer drills battery wasnt holding a charge, maybe he should have checked the rotation of that drill!!!!!!!!!!! he was useing it backwards. if you watched the show, the bit was spiraling down and it should have been spiraling up for the correct rotation! so much for efficiency! That may have just been an optical illusion due to the frame rate of the video vs. the action of the drill. That's a pretty common phenomenon. |

It looks like there is a new prospecting series on TV. It is called, “Ice Cold Gold” and I am watching it now. Oddly enough it is on animal planet, Channel 282 at my house. Not sure how they came together as I missed the first 15 minutes or so but it is a group of 8 men who team up and go on an excursion to the Island of Storo, Greenland. From what I have seen so far there is good and bad. Bad; Drama, Drama, Drama. I know this is only the first or “pilot” episode, but it has mostly covered the logistic headaches of setting up the trip. At one point it almost looked liked Survivor. Some of these guys have never even spent a night outdoors before. Good; There is little snippets from future endeavors that show real prospecting. So maybe a person can learn something from it. They are prospecting for gold and gems, so I get to learn what types of Gems come from Greenland. Some of the prospecting they are doing is with metal detectors so that is a new aspect. I also like the fact that these guys are really ruffin’ it. No comforts of home here. The episode ended with some nice looking minerals they were looking at. New episodes air weekly on Sundays at 10PM. Guess I’ll have to check out the next one. Woody -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
