Series Executive Producer Christo Doyle sits down with the miners to get the inside scoop on all things GOLD RUSH. Can The Viking resurrect the machine capable of pulling millions out of the ground or will he be left with a 1,000 metal pieces of junk?Īlso returning is the GOLD RUSH pre-show The Dirt, a series of one-hour shows, beginning 8 PM ET/PT on Friday, October 17. The 210-foot dredge hasn’t been used in over 30 years and is a risky proposition. But to resurrect the gold catching monster, he needs to take it apart piece by piece. Tony, known throughout the Klondike as “The Viking,” buys a million dollar, 75-year-old floating gold dredge. Meanwhile, Tony Beets and his crew dive in full-time to take on the unthinkable. His dream of mining in the jungle nearly destroyed him, but will he be able to rise from the ashes and turn things around? Or will this be the season that Todd throws in the towel once and for all? One thing is for certain - Todd will not go down without a fight. Not only has Todd lost his land, most of his money, his crew, but worst of all, he has lost his dignity. His right hand man, Dave, has had enough, deserting Todd to mine with legends Freddie and Derek Dodge. He hit rock bottom after braving the jungles of Guyana, South America, in an attempt to make a fortune along with his father Jack, Dave Turin, Jim Thurber and the rest of the Hoffman crew. Last season, Todd Hoffman rolled the dice and fell flat on his face. If not, it will become clear that his first season was simply a stroke of good luck. If Parker can hit his lofty goal, he could be on his way to becoming a Klondike legend. Parker re-invests every last cent in a mad scramble to get to good gold, asks more of his crew than ever before and manages to steal one of rival gold miner Todd Hoffman’s top mechanics. Parker is taking off his “training wheels” this year, setting an unprecedented goal of 2,000 ounces worth more than $2.5 million dollars – double his take from last season. Returning this season is 20-year-old Parker Schnabel who proved himself in only his rookie season mining the Klondike – raking in over 1,000 ounces of gold worth 1.4 million dollars.
