Great to see Kirsten back out in the rough, a real fine opening show, lets see more like this one ~ I'm tired of the "Mystery Bucket" tourist trap shows, we need more in-your-face adventures like this one!

I just finished watching the replay of 'Cascade Crystals'. This was by far the most adventurous dig yet. Copters, rapelling, dynamite, sheer cliffs w/ loose rock under foot, and widow makers everywhere.
Encore! I am counting the days until January.
The way I figure it, each episode has AT LEAST four days of shooting; a day to get there, 2 days digging, & a day to process and appraise the finds. I'm sure that it's common to double that time.
I don't envy the editors. A very valuable 98% goes on the cutting room floor to cut it down to 23 minutes, including interviews, tips & advice, more scenery, and of course more of the 15 hours of digging & finding that got cut down to 8 minutes. Any chance that the 4th season will feature hour-long shows? We want fries with that.
Oh, not to be unprofessional but more bikini-clad Kirsten appearances are always welcome.

I am sure they go through heck... to make up an episode. lol Janurary is a long time away. As I recall the, there are 5 new 1 hour shows instead of the 30 mintue shows. The only thing I don't like about it is that they will only be 5 weeks of new shows instead of 10. Here is a link that Kirsten Started on the Wiki that explains some about the shows. Be sure to check it out. http://cash-and-treasures-wiki.travelchannel.com/thread...unter%3A+Kirsten+Gum

Thanks PV. I for one welcome the more in-depth reportage. Now if we can just get Kirsten & the crew to go 24/7 non stop.
