Wooden sluice box on beach


Why not just build the little wooden sluice box where to needed it instead of 100 yards up the beach then having to move it?

I cannot be blamed for my actions, I am a victim of sobriety.

Also, why buy a whole bathtub to do a final cleaning instead of a plastic tote or something similar?

Again either that was the show's producers doing that or Todd really is that dumb.

I said the same exact thing. Build the friggin sluice box exactly where you are going to have the water run to. Only in the delusional mind of Todd does it make sense to build it and then try to precariously move it 100 yards closer to the water. I was hoping the thing would collapse under the weight of the straps and send it crashing breaking it into unusable pieces, just so Todd can finally learn a lesson, but I think he is too stupid and too stubborn to learn anything by failing.

He is NOT. He is a partner of Jesus and America in this gold venture, and by God, this is what America's all about! (smacks helmet with everybody else's)

The search for gold is actually interesting. Todd and his speeches, not so much. We have a thing in our house, sort of analogous to a drinking game, where every time Todd speaks, especially when he starts waxing significant and all, we all say in unison, "Shut UP, Todd." Yup. That's what we do on Friday nights, all right. Maybe it's time to reassess.

The mentioned it in the show. They didn't want to build it too close to the water in case the tide increased.
