Gold Rush

No overview available.

Watch as Todd, his father Jack and four other unemployed greenhorns leave their homes in search for a better life. While leasing a gold claim in Alaska, Todd and company must ward off bears, build homes for their families, and keep the operation running as they take fate into their own hands with a make or break venture that will change their lives forever.

With a good old fashioned case of gold fever, the Gold Rush miners are back with a vengeance as they mine their way out of financially hard times. In this season, the Hoffmans and their crew will battle mother nature, and each other, while they head up north. Unforeseen circumstances threaten to jeopardize their dream of striking it rich in this rugged and frozen terrain.

It took two years, but the competing gold mining crews have made it to the big leagues. After battling equipment breakdowns, infighting, and Mother Nature, one of the mining teams finally hits paydirt…but which one? With new equipment, new crews, and new land to explore, the teams set out strike gold and walk away millionaires.

On the promise of better gold, the Hoffman crew moves their operation to the jungles of Guyana, battling searing heat, deadly creatures and tropical diseases. Parker Schnabel leaves his family behind to mine in the legendary Klondike. Meanwhile, the Dakota Boys look to move on from the glory hole, taking extreme measures to tackle a remote, uncharted mountain claim in Alaska.

After a million-dollar rookie season, Parker Schnabel re-invests every penny in hopes of doubling his take this season. Todd Hoffman is at square one after hitting rock bottom in the jungle; he's lost his land, his money and his crew. Meanwhile Tony Beets plans to resurrect a floating dredge that hasn't been used in 30 years. Will big risks lead to an even bigger pay out?

As a new mining season begins the crews push to find the most gold yet. This season it’s all hands on deck as dredging for gold becomes a family affair. Todd Hoffman will have three generations of men working on the claim. Parker Schnabel finds out that one season of gold mining has nothing to do with the next. While Tony Beets has to get a 75 year old machine to actually produce gold.

This season the miners will take on even greater risks in hopes of finding more gold than ever before. It’s a sad start for Parker after losing his grandfather and mentor and Parker’s leadership will be tested. Meanwhile, Todd Hoffman takes the biggest gamble of his life, moving his entire operation to Oregon.

Season 8 premiered on October 13, 2017. The season finds the Hoffman and Schnabel crews wagering 100 ounces of gold to the company that mines the most gold, with both vying for a 5,000-ounce season goal. Meanwhile, Tony Beets is disassembling, transporting, and reassembling another vintage dredge, resurrecting a method of placer mining that has not been in common use in Dawson City for half a century.

It's a season of change as Rick Ness breaks from Parker Schnabel to start a claim of his own, while Parker has everything on the line while he battles with Tony Beets over land, and Tony is singlemindedly out to double his equipment and profits.
