Gold Rush: Parker Schnabel & Crew Face New Problems
Discovery Channel recently uploaded a preview clip from the upcoming episode of Gold Rush Season 15, featuring new challenges for the crew. One of their excavators suffered from overheating. Due to this, everyone rushed to the heavy equipment carrying fire extinguishers to avoid it from catching flames. It’s a huge setback for the crew. This wasn’t the first time Parker’s equipment suffered from a major issue, and some fans believe he should invest in something bigger.
Parker Eyeing New Major Investment?
Some Gold Rush fans on social media discussed the recent news about the longest conveyor belt in America, which is located in Texas. It has the ability to move sand at 10 mph. It reaches 61 miles and can run 12 to 14 hours a day. This could be the perfect equipment for Parker Schnabel’s gold mining business.
Others agreed and mentioned that Parker’s equipment has been faulty for years, and investing in such a conveyor belt shouldn’t hurt his income. However, the conveyor belt cost over $400 million, which could be insanely difficult for him and his crew. Regarless, it’s a long-term investment, which could bring his gold mining empire to another level.
- “Where everyone else sees a way to move dirt and tailings, I see a bitchin’ Jetsons’ style way to work.”
- “Well, clearly, Parkers conveyors are an embarrassment, and he needs to take a longer hard look at himself. 😂😂😂”
- “Not practical for Parker – the cost of moving the conveyers would be crippling. only way something this makes sense is if you don’t have to move it.”
- “That is amazing. Wonder if it can be seen from ISS.”
