I love tv shows related to finding gold

The history channel has made me obsessed with shows about gold. Gold Rush and Bearing Sea Gold are 2 of my favorite shows - I geek out every Friday when they come on - I almost get emotionally attached to the miners and their successes and failures. Now I'm watching Bamazon - gold mining in the Amazon. AWESOME.

:y:

when i worked at a gold mine, we had history channel filming there all the time (for the show time warp and how the earth was made, among others).
i would spend most of my day when the crews were there trying to wander into the backgrounds of shots.

My favorite part about gold mining shows is the constant use of the term "glory hole". I laugh every time!

I totally saw Parker from Gold Rush in my local Fred Meyer a couple months ago. We don't live in Alaska, and H didn't believe me until I pointed him out. H did some snooping on Twitter, and it turned out it was actually him. He was in town doing some hunting or something.

That's the only "celebrity" sighting I've ever had, and it was very exciting.

I love Parker! He is my favorite of all the miners. He's so cute with his grandpa
