If you thought Gold Rush had gone downhill, this starts at the bottom and works its way down.
He has investors and wastes time looking in areas where there is nothing then surprise, one of the investors has property he can mine. Said investor then pulls out at the last minute meaning they have to find somewhere else. So he has to invest his own money to dig under a lake... and all the while it's full of 'if we don't find gold soon we're all gonna die penniless' You've heard it all before and it's worse than ever.
This is obviously scripted with a weak story line - watch when he goes to Dad for sage advice. His Dad looks bewildered and basically just tells him to go do it. Probably to get rid of the whining idiot.
Overly dramatic, thin plot, no real reason for this at all, just History squeezing the last drop out of the gold searching story and scraping the barrel while doing it.
Don't waste your time, go to the dentist and get a tooth pulled, it'll be less painful.
It's a 1 because I can't select 0.
