Absolutely amazing. And Fred is like super man. First he's hiking all that way with a twisted up leg then he's diving and he's 72 years old. Wow big boot you are the man. I didn't know people would willingly go where they have no cell phone service. Let alone set up claim on a rapid river that has nothing to stand on anywhere around it. That's what gold fever will do to a person. Still amazing I hope you have a great season. Watch next we will see Todd Hoffman and his let's risk everything style of gold mining trying to get Dustin to build some walk ways for him to waddle around on. You know it's funny how Todd treats them after he loaned them fifty grand when all we see Todd ever do is try to talk people in to giving him another chance or more money. But now that he's the investor he wants to be a dick and push his weight around. He must only be religious when he is broke because he is a ass when he is a investor.

With as many idiots as I can run into on the road daily all I need is another idiot (Dakota Fred) on TV, I admire that at his age he is out there trying to make a go of things, but really if he hasn't done it by now chances are not good, and the fact is a man of his age still has not learned how to listen, and is a total know it all, seems to be at the root of all his problems. There is not fool like an old fool, (Fred).

Met them in Oregon once. Having been an dredger myself, these guys get my adrenaline going. Fred and Dustin are the Real Deal! Can't wait to say hello to them again too.
