Nome, AK. - A Tragic Comedy
I got a kick out of this one today.

Hiring divers for gold dredge (Nome Ak.)
Now hiring divers for a gold dredge in Nome for the summer of 2012. All women divers preferred. 509-216-XXXX 8am to 8pm pacific time.


It just keeps getting sillier by the day.
People trying to sell claims they don’t even own. Claim flippers selling claims for top dollar. Top filing over other claims. (That should be a fun one to sort out???)

It’s like I’m watching the Gong Show waiting for the next act???

Mate just history repeating...

1850's 1870's 1880's early 20's 60's nickle, 80's.. its fun - grab some dirt and enjoy the show :smile: it's only just started, wait untill the dollar really goes south and a 1/4 oz is worth over a weeks average wage!!! The rushes of the past will be nothing compared.... no wonder the g men hate gold : )

Oh, I hear you on the dollar. Basically all currencies are in freefall, some just falling faster then others. Maybe someday GATA will see the fruits of their labor, and drive the last nail. The antics of the greedy don’t really surprise me much, it’s just that I find it fascinating to be able to witness it in almost real time. One day they’re ready to throw hundreds of thousands dollars at some unattainable project, then the wind shifts direction. All they really do is make things harder for the people that are trying to scratch a living at it and leave behind big piles of rusty crap in their wake.
I’m beginning to think the Discovery channel is nothing more than a modern day Samuel Brannan. Curious as to what their ulterior motives are?

I wonder if those partaking in this golden drama are having any regrets now, being part of this. This show has certainly awaken the beast. A flotilla of misguided and delusional souls awaits them this year that don’t, that won’t do any homework to find gold. They’ll rely on others to do that for them. Until the crowds get culled, either by the cold water, weather or hard work, that place is going to be a mess.

As to history repeating itself… I believe this is Nome’s fourth gold rush. Not sure what the 1930’s had on Nome, but the 1960’s and 1980’s were busy times for Nome.
