“Finding Gold in Tailings” HD

First of all this video is 18 years old and there is a lot more info out there now. But hey!!! I had a blast with Bob and his son Chris. Bob passed away in 2016 sadly. RIP brother and may your pan be full of gold bro....
This is the video I produced in 2005 and 2006. I say that because the equipment at that time was not as advanced as it is now. I built a PC that was top of the line at the time. Today I extracted the segments from DVD-RAM discs that I saved them on that for years because I didn't have the equipment till of late. The Lord provided a way. Here it is in original format but now in HD. It was a really fun project and as you can tell it was totally un-scripted. Thanks for taking the time to watch and yes, there is still a lot of gold left in them old tailing piles in Alaska.
When I was producing “Finding Gold in Tailings” there was a guy that stopped by our camp just off the Steese highway that was the road leading into my claims. He was interested in producing a reality TV show about miners and their life style. He explained how he was going to produce it to me and I said “If your going to produce a reality show on miners and their claims and you go on their claims you probably won't make it back to the road alive." I said "These are small family owned businesses and if you expose them to the outside world you will open a can of worms. MSHA is bought and paid for by large mining companies so they can produce gold without being fined for safety violations and they did come down on these smaller family owned gold mines and fine them out of business because they don't have the money to pay them off."
About a year later after I had produced my video a reality TV show came on the scene called “Gold Rush”. I knew a few of the miners in that show. Mind you these guys weren't huge mining companies like Canada mining companies have in Alaska and all over the world they were the small family owned businesses. They got hammered by the boot legged thugs know as MSHA. I can say that because I am a victim of their tactics.
Thanks for watching, "Old Rocker"
