Really enjoyed this. Love gold/treasure hunter shows so this was right up my street. Not sure why it is so lowly rated here.
A friend told me about this program and I'm enjoying it - though I'm surprised there are so many episodes. My system is having difficulty finding 1x3 let alone anything more! I'll carry on trying to get some more. I am not enjoying the emphasis on money, but what can you expect ... with the world we live in now. I love opals so atm it's worth it, seeing the amazing stones emerge.
