Looks like there's numerous repeats of episode #1 on DISH...through January 29th I did not see episode #2 listed. Will look forward to seeing it. Thanks for the info, Fossilman, great catch!!! You don't know how many times I've looked through the listings on the GEM channel hoping for something like this to show up!!!

I watched it last night. Not bad. Will have to see how it holds up. I am sucker for these types of shows. Started about 4 years ago with cash & treasures on the travel channel then gold rush on discovery then prospectors on the weather channel. I still have about 10 or 12 episodes of cash & treasures on disc. That was my favorite because at the end of each show they would take there finds to a lapidary shop and have something made from them. At the time I watched it I was not into this hobby yet so I had no idea what all that equipment was. Fun to go back and see them now.

Chuck Also check out Game of Stones on Discovery & Ice Cold Gold on Animal Planet. Both have been canceled, but episodes are available at those links. Game of Stones was my favorite. Thanks for keeping us informed! Jeremy

I gave up on the Mine Hunters show. After 3 (?) shows, it was just the SSDH (Same Stuff Different Hole) and just didn't hold my interest. Started watching the latest episode on my DVR last night and deleted it about 10-15 minutes into the show.
Is the Prospectors show from Colorado still on the Weather Channel? Verizon dropped TWC, so I don't know if there was a new season of the show. If so, maybe I can find it online.

Prospectors is still on the Weather channel,and is good as ever.....New season too.... Ice Cold Gold was a dud for me,it kept dragging on and one,nothing but boring... Still say Prospectors is the best on TV,as of now....

when i work on the road the hotels nowadays have televisions, I get kind of ornery when the hotel doesn't subscribe to fox news. No plans to get a tv for home though.

I noticed on the new season of "Prospectors" that Amanda's husband isn't with her on the claims this season... Wonder if he is running his own claims somewhere else....

Wonder what happened to 2 Episode 3 is episode 2. projectfreetv.so/online/mine-hunters/I would suggest before trying these free tv sites. own lode Ad blocker first. And then use Vodlocker to view. getadblock.com/share/

There was only a few episodes and after he said he stayed in a storage building for x many hours Faceting some stones and came out with like a hundred or more I went to investigate online... Lost interest and apparently episodes after that
