cashgoldsilver said:Just finished watching Gold Rush series 2 - 17 episodes.
In their 2nd season of mining the Hoffmans mined 92.5oz's of Gold,42oz's of profit split 7 ways with 2 being the owners.
It worked out for the miners being 5 = 6oz's = 8K for 5 months virtually around the clock work in rain hail and snow = Hard Yakka 8.(
Another interesting fact that I learnt (from series 1) is that for every 1000 miners who made it to the Goldfields only 3 "struck it rich"
Correction - 0.03% success rate not 0.3% (yes I am pedantic you have been warned) back in the 1850/60 in the Klondike Alaska.
Now to start watching series 3 with ???? episode's to go before the home owners come home on the 24th of this month.
Going for my first swing in nearly 3 weeks tomorrow - Yippee
