Aussie Gold Hunters

Really enjoyed the early series but after a while the phony scripted talking and fake finds began to grate. See them driving along talking in the radio, we need to find gold. Really? And it is always near the end of the season, The hunters play to the camera and so much of the scenes arranged But the worst part is the continual use of the word Taaarget. It is non stop. Who the F cares about the taarget, we just want to watch the hunt. Sod the Taarget taarget taarget.

I was told this would be addressed in the new series but if anything it is worse.

An enjoyable show about hunting gold in the outback.

Brought back memories of my 55 business trips to Australia for 2-3 weeks where I also got some time to hike the Outback, Olgas or Ayres Rock (Uluru).

Love the beauty and danger of the outback and these 3 teams are quite different from each other and present different levels of hunting for gold and all are interesting.

Well worth watching on Netflix.

I believe that if you want to build a following, you have to be on some sort of a regular schedule so the viewer can have a reasonable expectation of viewing a new episode on a certain day. Lately, this show and Outback Opal Hunters have have several episodes in a row, with a story line and then....nothing. Just a bunch of scammers using the titles to get clicks. No information available about seasons, episodes, hiatuses, nada.

I am at the point where I will stop looking. Is that what they want?

As each new season comes out, I'm finding it less enjoyable and it's a shame. It's more about the "drama" then actually finding gold now. That drama is so manufactured that you can't help but laugh. What happened?? Were audiences asked what they most wanted to see and Drama was number one??

Last season was stretched out to 20 episodes but half the time nothing happened except for lots of talking, lots of repetitive narration (same with Opal Hunters. YES, we know what black opal is!!!!) and fake drama. What about that theft from the dust devils where the car "broke" into their property? Damn, they got away!? Uh oh, you can see the 4WD's number plate...we'll just need to blur it out in post production ok!

Season 6 has just started and the Dust Devils, who did pretty damn well last season are already talking about going bankrupt in Episode 1 because they had a smashed excavator windscreen and a blown truck tyre. Guess how much gold digging they did in the episode? None.

I'll just watch the highlights on youtube this season thanks.

Amazong show, i can't stop watch this ! what an amazing casting
