Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch

I've only seen one episode so maybe I'm missing something. They show a box of logs underwater tied together with rope and want to know if it has been there for 45 years or 400 years. So what kind of rope will last for even a year underwater, much less 45 years or longer? The guy took a sample of the wood for testing. I'd like to see a test done on the miracle rope.

So take a gold prospecting treasure seeking show and pretend your doing it on a type of paranormal hot spot . They actually setup game cameras and some local pretended to be shape shifting into Skinwalker . They actually put this in the show and expect people to believe it . It's a fake reality show for entertainment purposes .Circus folk with a budget.

Update season 3 has some fun moments . Regardless of fake or not it season 3 has some pretty fun entertainment . A prehistoric snake , quick sand , poachers ,.. definately fun.kinda stuff guys like technology and exploring and adventure .

So looking at some simple clues, the video footage doesn't make sense. The 'Aztec box' that is the center of the 'mystery' is supposedly over 500 years old. Look carefully at the video. The logs are barely coverd with any sediment, suggesting the logs have been buried for less then one year. Sorry Discovery, please do a better job with your soap opera series.

Eric Drummond - Ian disappointed to see you are a paid actor vs. An actual geologist. You should have stuck with ice cold gold...much more believable.

How to have no credibility - have dreadlocks at 40. Combine Ghost Hunters and Burning Man with ridiculously bad local theater acting. You'll see what I am talking about if you have an hour to waste.

I liked the first 2 episodes. Yes, they were kind of hokey and lame. But, they were enjoyable. Then it all went towards the staged stuff and paranormal stuff. I won't give away any spoilers. But the last few episodes have been more X-Files sort of stuff than treasure hunting. Were into season 2 now. Just finished the 2nd episode and we've got about 20 minutes of actual 'searching for treasure' and the rest is conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo. There was a suicide outside of their gate. Nothing to do with the show. But they're spending about 1/4th of the show investigating it. And they found some wooden timbers in an underground cave last season. This season they're making a borehole to drag them out. Why waste all that $$ on old logs? Why aren't they 'treasure searching' instead. I keep watching hoping they'll actually find something. But I'm not hopeful.
