American Gold: The Legend of Digging Holes
22 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Found this show on Fox Business. Defenitly like the fantasy story of gold and the characters who search to find it.

Now, how.much of this story is actually true? I have my doubts. To start, 5 brothers who are in great shape for their age (70s) set out to find gold treasures by liquidating their assets and putting 2nd mortgages on their homes to chase a 4th person story of possible gold from 100 years ago. Eh sounds a bit over the top. Actually pretty irresponsible imo.

While I do understand this area is unforgiving, and mining is a slow process, this show drags. They end up bouncing from hole to hole anytime there is a setback, seemingly spending more time always going to another hole 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, digging, refurbishment of 100 year old holes and the roads that lead to them.

The fake drama was minimal when the 1st season started, and that was refreshing. The drama was actually REAL obstacles to overcome. Unfortunately as it progressed, the fake induced drama becomes more prevalent.

Who knows what the real story is here....looks like to me a bunch of mining industry workers were paid to revamp some holes in an abandoned mine and the story of "Oly" and his gold is irrelevant.

If I had a dollar for every time this show mentioned "Oly's Gold" I'd be the one who struck "gold" lol.
