He was also convicted of pouring gas onto a dredge pond and lighting it, known as a Viking babtism.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north...nced-1.4263463

He was also convicted of moving multiple heavy loads either without a permit or out of season, can't recall and can't find a link to that one. It happened when he was moving the second dredge. He even admitted during the show he knew it was illegal, but did it anyways and filmed it, what a dummy.

He dosent seem to think rules and laws apply to him.

On a positive note we won't have to watch Todd Hoffman this coming season, he gave up gold mining to be a musician. That guy couldn't find gold in a jewelry store

Are you sure the Hoffman's are done?

The best Gold mining show was FoolsGold because it was basically a bunch of drinks goofing off and having fun....

Default yukon gold
I agree the boys must clean-up their mining sites after processing material for gold recovery. Beets has lots of $$$ so should be able to pay his fines. Foy however has never recovered much gold or made any money. He should find another line of work.

Mining has been changing the landscape in the Yukon for 100 years. And there are reclamation regulations in place.

Right , and what does the article say/imply.
Just because regulations are in place doesnt mean they are being followed now does it ?

There was a study not too long ago quoting how much tax payer dollars would cost for cleaning up abandon oil leases in Alberta, it was staggering.
