When can we Hope to See Discovery Channel's Gold Rush Alaska Television Series Crews Produce Some Real Gold?

By Sam Puttard


Specific reality TV shows have plagued our lives as a result of the so-called entertainment networks for many years now, and many viewers had simple had enough until the recent broadcast of the new Discovery's Gold Rush Alaska TV show starring Todd Hoffman, Dakota Fred, and Parker Schnavel. What differentiates this TV series from other reality TV shows is that many of the viewers share the dream of striking it rich with the cast of this hugely popular series.

Gold mining has been a respectable occupation for centuries, but the excitement, hardships, and freedom that come with it have been forgotten by the majority. When Discovery's Gold Rush suddenly brought it back, millions became instantly addicted and just couldn't get enough. There is just something about the allure of gold, getting your hands dirty, and risking it all that appeals to many, but most people just don't possess the guts to do go out and do it. Or perhaps, they possess more common sense than our beloved stars on Discovery's Gold Rush.

Gold Rush Alaska was focused on these few individuals who set out to live their dreams of mining gold in the beautiful Alaskan wilderness. As pioneers of the new age, these rookie gold miners risked it all to do something different and unrelated to the dwindling global economic health. Precious metals will always be a commodity on which one can rely, and what better way to obtain this asset than to dig it out of the ground?

When fans learned there was going to be a second season because the Hoffman crew had now liquidated all of their assets and acquired every loan possible, the enthusiasm for Discovery's Gold Rush Alaska among the tens of millions of fans was almost tangible. It seemed the crew was back in action and ready to execute a new plan based on what they had learned from their mistakes. However, their former and unwanted coworker, Dakota Fred, suddenly threw an unexpected wrench in the Hoffman's plan of mining their beloved Glory Hole.

After OSHA slowing down the Schnavel crew and Dakota Fred's crew, Dakota Fred stealing the Hoffman's claim, and torrential floods swallowing Fred's home, the shared dream of striking it rich mining gold seemed just out of reach for all of them. However, towards the end of the second season of Gold Rush Alaska reality TV show, Fred's and Todd's crew actually began to find decent amounts of gold, but Parker is still left with empty pockets and the need to graduate high school before he embarks a lifetime of mining gold.
