I always loved watching your crew mine Porcupine. Was always the most interesting, with the deep glory hole and the unique wash plant rocking those big boulders.
Great to see how much real mining still goes on behind the scenes and good to see you and your son are still out for the real gold and haven't sold out for the digital gold.
Great to see you have plans for the up coming season. I think Justin could use you at the waterfall Fred, you work real well together. What father and son team, that works together, doesn't fight every now and then? :) Good luck for the season ahead Fred and best wishes to your family :)
Great to see another side to the show Fred......I think you should strike out on your own and make your vision on a show. Take care out there. MINER or BUST
Very neat, it looks different without the TV drama, I would say more sophisticated, I like it....Mine is about 80X smaller in size , but I mine in California so gotta stay small...Thanks for sharing..
Great video Fred, being a equipment guy myself I saw the loader coming down the hill with tailings, than watched him pass by the Gold Rich dirt you were digging and head up the hill empty! Haha , my first thought as an operator was " why is he heading back up top empty?" But I do know you show common sense on the show so I'm sure there is a reason lol. Good Luck in your quest for the Gold Pocket, and don't let the fame change you, we watch for the reality aspect!
Hey Albert,.....we occasionally switch duties with the operators,,,,,....Tailings...feed the plant.......plant going as fast as it can at present....100 cu yds per hour........:).....Freddie
Sorry and I don't know if it was just drama for tv purposes but I never really warmed to Fred after he poached the claim from the Hoffmans in series 2.
+Keith Walker he did the Hoffmans a favor by taking over that mine as the Hoffmans are doing better then Fred was doing and that mine was as you watched was a bust.
Fred you and your son were the best to watch on the show I was very interested to see if you two were going up into the mountains to crush rock. did that ever happen ? start your own show and you will have at least one veiwer, best of luck
I don't understand how the Porcupine Creek laid down all that smoothed stone and made the deposits so deep. Obviously it took millions of years to lay down and smooth some 50 feet of what amounts to old river channel. But how did the river do it? It seems anywhere you dig down and get to old river bed you can get gold!
Has anyone been able to find out where their doc "all that glitters" can be seen? They really need some PR help to keep their fans updated. More posts please! Especially of Dustin 😜
Nice better then the gold rush show.What i think would be cool is to do a time laps video from the beginning of the season to the end and set the camera so you can see the whole dig sit. Thanks for sharing just click on my name to see my videos im just a prospector though
Damn y'all got all the nuggets but I'd love to rerun all of that through gold hog mats. There's probably 5 times as much gold in the fines as there was in what you got.
Thanks for the video Fred. Love the true video of how you do things. It would have been better if it had been narrated though. Anyway, thank you so much!
With all that equipment and fuel Fred Burned up, he didn't make much money, but he got to gold mine. Just getting to do it is the real deal. Just merely setting up a large or small operation and dig up dirt while running it thru your sluiceplant is the excitement of gold mining. You just have to know when to quit. If you find you're losing money after a week of running pay, STOP. Too many people don't know when to quit. They keep going after losing money while running pay.
I'd bet Fred broke even on this minesite. Fred would pop up again somewhere if he was still mining, and Porcupine Creek was one of those limited claims up on a hill. Fred sucked the nut out of his "gloryhole", and then decided to mine what he thought was a paystreak. I do believe it caught up to Fred and he broke even or took a little loss. Nonetheless, he got to gold mine. That's what it's about at the end, getting to gold mine and find gold. It's about making and setting up equipment, and saying "hot damn, I MADE that trommel and made my wash[plant and I caught gold". You gotta break even though. That show "Yukon Gold", Karl's daddy built him this big fucking trommel with bearings and all sorts of shit. Wrong. Put some tires on it for the barrel to rotate on, put one tire at the bottom turned sideways so the trommel doesn't spin off the base. NOOOOO, Marty wanted to make some glamourous piece of shit that kept fucking up. Make it simple stupid. Simple can be fixed. When you order a bearing and metal wheel special order from New York, you'll be waiting for 7-10 days for another one. Use a fucking truck tire and you can slap another rim, tire, or whatever right away. The miners who keep it simple profit.
fred and his son had that nasty damn curse put on them from 2 very powerful shawmen after they stole the claim, I guess the sickness and the health prob-'s to keep coming are what they get ..! i'm pretty sure the first to go will be his wife they said. I'm pretty sure that the Indian curse will take Fred 3rd.and the drums were herd for over a hundred miles the night the elders left for the last meting. John s. was the only way the curse could have been broken. ask any of them to talk about it and everything goes silent. It's really sad in a way knowing that all fred had to do was give the land back. the chief and the 2 medicine men had to even stop the drums one night early after the hyatawn metting because he said he needed more proof that the whole act as was told by the spirits that the land was stole by fred from greed. O it wasn't a pretty night but when the 50 foot flames were put out like a bucket of water was just dumped on that great fire the chiefs new as they all closed eyes and said fred will go blind at 72 full moons after his wife almost went mad because the very day of the distrust and mark on that horrible day would start the down ward fall and darkness of death would be all around them from the flood on.------------I'll tell you this, the one thing worse than death said this young native child is that fred has night mares about the way it all started IEthe flood hence the heart prob's that fred will have to endure while this cycle can not be stopped after the last drum beat and the child cried.
Way to go Fred. All these armchair miners that post here only wish they could mine your tailing pile.... Bunch of know it alls.... Go troll someone else's page!!!!
I always loved watching your crew mine Porcupine. Was always the most interesting, with the deep glory hole and the unique wash plant rocking those big boulders.
You can watch it endlessly and put endless likes! thanks for the video subscribed to your channel
Great to see how much real mining still goes on behind the scenes and good to see you and your son are still out for the real gold and haven't sold out for the digital gold.
Very cool video Dakota Fred thanks for the view cheers Placerminer
Thanks for the behind the scenes video Fred, keep up the good work next season and I hope you all hit the jackpot!
Great to see the extra footage at Porcupine! Thanks!
Great to see you have plans for the up coming season. I think Justin could use you at the waterfall Fred, you work real well together. What father and son team, that works together, doesn't fight every now and then? :)
Good luck for the season ahead Fred and best wishes to your family :)
Dig some dirt, wash some rocks!
Great video Fred. We get to see just how careful everyone has to be with all vehicles moving around. And dang the background music was great.
Great to see another side to the show Fred......I think you should strike out
on your own and make your vision on a show.
Take care out there.
MINER or BUST
D'arcy is right..main stream only tells their "own" story!
Love Miner or Bust D'arcy! keep them coming
Very neat, it looks different without the TV drama, I would say more sophisticated, I like it....Mine is about 80X smaller in size , but I mine in California so gotta stay small...Thanks for sharing..

I can remember at the conclusion of season 4 Fred and Dustin had plans to mine a waterfall. Really would've liked to see that
Every little boy that watches this is going to want to be a gold miner.
great video thanks for sharing it with us fred
This is what we want to see! Keep up the good work Fred!
season 5 isnt the same without you !!
+Andrew Bedford is there more seasons too the gold rush then 3 ?
in season 7 now but dakota fred isnt on there
very nice video. Greeting from the Netherlands. The Germans dig deeper holes on our beaches. ;)
Awesome to see the mine's inner workings, Thank you. Where's the next cut going to be?
great work folks well done take care and happyhunting
hell this is way better then the show
Great show Fred! I wish Gold Rush would show more mining and less "malarkey" :)
Sorry and I don't know if it was just drama for tv purposes but I never really warmed to Fred after he poached the claim from the Hoffmans in series 2.
Trolling? Or are you really unaware of the realities of life?
+Keith Walker he did the Hoffmans a favor by taking over that mine as the Hoffmans are doing better then Fred was doing and that mine was as you watched was a bust.
He didn't poach the site from crybaby Todd,Todd lost it when he defaulted on the lease payments.
Like the fiddle, and the mining perspective is much better than the show.
Fred you and your son were the best to watch on the show I was very interested to see if you two were going up into the mountains to crush rock. did that ever happen ? start your own show and you will have at least one veiwer, best of luck

Rootin' for you this season!!
Has anyone been able to find out where their doc "all that glitters" can be seen? They really need some PR help to keep their fans updated. More posts please! Especially of Dustin 😜
Fred are you and Dustin going to be at Conexpo in 2017?
Better than Gold Rush video. No annoying Hoffman's.

But what are the names of the music?
man look at that pay dirt whewww weeee
+Dakota Fred Gold Miner - Freddy what year/season was this ? Are you still in the glory hole?
Nice better then the gold rush show.What i think would be cool is to do a time laps video from the beginning of the season to the end and set the camera so you can see the whole dig sit. Thanks for sharing just click on my name to see my videos im just a prospector though
Yeah! A tree mounted boom with a camera taking a picture every hour. That would be an awesome GIF to watch.
Damn y'all got all the nuggets but I'd love to rerun all of that through gold hog mats. There's probably 5 times as much gold in the fines as there was in what you got.

Wayne Kaczmarek they never stole any claim. Todd defaulted on lease payments. End of story. You can't steal something from someone if it isn't theirs.
RIP.
XD
Way to go Fred. All these armchair miners that post here only wish they could mine your tailing pile.... Bunch of know it alls.... Go troll someone else's page!!!!
