De l'or sous la glace

The 5 minutes of actual prospecting is extremely interesting, but the 20 minutes of grown men acting like children is about as exciting as watching the Kardasians or the Beverly Hill Housewives or Honey Boo Boo.

Get back to your geological prospecting and drop the childish scripted drama. I don't know if I can bring myself to watch another program which has so much potential, but delivers so little. I am a short termer, may not make it to the final episode.

Looking for gold or other minerals using some scientific process can be exciting. The raw land they are exploring is exciting. Spending three shows devoted to arguments and dissension is unappealing to me. Stop scripting and start prospecting if you desire to keep this show alive.

Daryl is a loser...he goes from show to show and still he is a loser..trying to jump on anyone's success ...lazy and unqualified. Gets his experience from watching other shows I believe...

Never saw this program before last night. Parallels to "Gold Rush" are obvious except that there actually is a trained explorationist involved. But, as personality differences started to dominate the program, I kept waiting for one of the characters to start telling the audience about "my 40 years experience telling people about my 40 years experience." Can they "out-Hoffman" the Hoffmans?

I am a semi professional gold miner in Australia, and I like to watch the gold mining reality shows like Gold Rush, Yukon Gold etc. Ice Cold Gold season 3 is nothing more than visual diarrhea. It is complete fabricated rubbish and more of a theater for the viewers than a reality show. Some examples......"omg omg the plane has a piece of steel in the tyre and it's flat, Americo just saved our lives"... ??? WTF ? Is anyone out there so simplistically stupid to actually believe this ? Before anyone is even allowed to board the plane it needs a full pre flight inspection by the flight crew, and they just happened to miss a flat tyre...are you serious ? If this really happened where the plane was actually going to taxi down the runway with a flat tyre the captain and first officer would be fired for their incompetence for breaking basic fundamental flight protocol. They hike for 4 hours, then walk across an active glacier tethered together in case they fall through the ice, then they climb a loose rock wall and take a small bag of samples. Upon returning to their camp they crush the ore and the geologist needs an eye piece to look in the pan for a tense 5 seconds then announces "we've got gold". They all hi-5 each other like they are rich. The camera shows quite large chunks of gold..... but the problem is the ore just came out of a rock mill/crusher which means everything was pulverized into powder, so how the hell did large chunks of gold get in the pan ? And if that shot of large chunks of gold was true, I doubt the geologist would need an eye piece to see large chunks, he would announce it straight away. It's just complete and utter bullsh1t ! And they are talking about laying claims on those sites and either mining it themselves or selling the claim to another company for some fast profit. So tell me this people.... who in their right sane minds would try to mine in Greenland if there is a 50 day window, and the only way to get in there is by helicopter ??? They are saying "You don't need large machinery to mine"... ummmmm, yes you do. Those idiots are talking about being millionaires and possibly billionaires from their gold discovery but I see a big problem with this. Absolutely nobody would ever invest a single cent into buying any sort of claim from these dick heads. If it takes 4 hours to hike across a glacier to get to a rock wall, how the hell am I supposed to drive a 20 ton excavator across the ice to reach an unworkable mining location? haha And how the hell is a helicopter supposed to lift any sort of equipment in heavier than a gold pan to actually mine enough gold to pay for the flights ?

I wouldn't be surprised if the people in this show are actually paid actors by The Animal Planet, and the whole show is nothing more than theater to keep simple brain washed people entertained with simplistic diarrhea and garbage. It's complete crap and the show should be removed from existence. It's disgusting and The Animal Planet should hold their heads in shame for producing such pathetic propaganda.

I have watched every episode to date. They continue to devolve. Perhaps mercifully, the series will conclude following this season.

Since the initial episode, we have watched both the team and the mission deteriorate. Based on the snippet shown as a preview for next week (May 3), the former team will become wildly diverse special interest groups and will even launch invectives at one another. How much fun will that be?

The series seemed like a good idea when it began, but it is time to end this soap opera. At least fire Americo and Eric, bring on a real mining expert and someone with specific knowledge and experience pertaining to Greenland's geology and mining history/prospects.

If there are truly riches to be discovered, these characters are not the ones to find them. Bad karma, terrible inexperience, very poor planning capabilities and zero Greenland knowledge. It is time to either get serious or go home.
