In for a Penny, in for a Pound
Two weeks into the mining season, miners are taking big risks for a shot at big gold. Ken discovers ultra fine gold stashed deep in the ground at Moose Creek and sinks tens of thousands of dollars into digging it out. New miner Cam bets on an old-timer streak at his mine on 10 Mile Creek. Just as it starts to pay big, a forest fire threatens to destroy the moneymaker mine and his family’s livelihood. Karl’s gamble on the dredge edge is iced when veteran operator Darwin no shows, forcing Karl to take on dangerous ground alone and decide if Darwin’s lifelong partying is more trouble than his experience is worth.
There's something undeniably alluring about the idea of striking it rich. It's a universal dream and one that is explored in gripping detail in the TV series 'Gold Rush'. This thrilling reality show takes viewers into the lesser-known regions across Canada and United States, where teams of miners face daunting challenges as they dig for gold. With 15 seasons and over 291 episodes, this treasure trove of entertainment is a must-add to your BetaSeries account.
'Gold Rush' follows various family-run mining companies as they navigate the perilous world of placer gold mining. These fearless miners face numerous obstacles from equipment malfunctions to crew inexperience as they chase their golden dreams mostly in the Klondike region of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada and Alaska. The series was originally titled 'Gold Rush: Alaska', highlighting its initial focus on Porcupine Creek, Alaska.
The first season starts with a group of six men from Sandy, Oregon who had lost their jobs due to economic downturn. They decide to head north and invest their futures into prospecting for gold at Porcupine Creek. With little or no previous experience in placer gold mining, these greenhorns learn on the job, overcoming equipment breakdowns and personal conflicts along the way.
