Eric Drummond On Blind Frog Ranch

Blind Frog Ranch requires several experts to unravel the mystery and the findings of Discovery’s “Blind Frog Ranch”. Besides the owner Duane Ollinger and his son Chad Ollinger, and head of the security Charlie Snider, we also meet Eric Drummond, the expert geologist who assists the Ollingers as a geologist.

Eric also serves as a prospector and is world-renowned for several major wildcat discoveries that he’s made around the world. From finding diamonds around the lava lake at an active volcano to a mountain full of rubies in Greenland that he’s currently mining, no project is too unusual for Eric. Duane tagged him in for help getting into the cavern system.

In the first season of the show in 2021, Eric and Chad discover Iridium. They discover it while panning at the edge of the flooded cave entrance and quickly race to find Duane to share the news.

Eric tells Chad that large deposits of iridium “could be worth millions of tens of millions hundreds of millions”. Eric with two Ollingers sees a prospect to become iridium magnate because XRF gun readings hit 50 to 87 to 804,000 signifying the purity of the sample iridium they had discovered.

“Blind Frog Ranch” isn’t the only TV show Eric has assisted as a geologist in. He had also appeared on Animal Planet’s “Ice Cold Gold”. According to his IMDB page, he appeared on the show in 2013.

“Ice Cold Gold” followed seven gold miners prospecting and digging in Greenland. He told, “Prospecting is a very risky business, but when you find something, it’s hugely rewarding.”

He added, “I won’t go into detail, but I guarantee that [viewers] are going to see some amazing things — not just in what we find, but the culture, the areas that we prospect, the things we look for. It’s going to be a huge adventure.”

Back to Blind Frog Ranch, Eric posted on his Facebook on 23 January 2021 with a signed photo from all casts, “And that’s a wrap! Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch season 2.”
