They decided on an all - stakes gamble -- travel to Porcupine Creek, Alaska and prospect for gold. Most of the people on the show have little or no previous placer gold mining experience and must learn on the job. Season 2 In season 2, ( show renamed to Gold Rush ) Todd misses a lease payment on Porcupine Creek and `` Dakota '' Fred Hurt buys the claim from owner Earl Foster, not needing to honor the lease due to the missed payment. The season explores the Hoffman crew 's new mine at Quartz Creek, in the Klondike region of Dawson City, Yukon, Canada as well as `` Dakota '' Fred 's operation at the site of the original Hoffman mine, Porcupine Creek, and Parker Schnabel 's attempts to mine his grandfather 's property at Big Nugget Mine. Hurt Crew, Porcupine Creek : 80.4 oz ( 2,280 g ) $125,000 Schnabel Crew, Big Nugget Mine : 34 oz ( 960 g ) $55,000 Hoffman Crew, Quartz Creek : 93.5 oz ( 2,650 g ) $150,000 Season 3 The third season began in October 2012. The Hoffman crew returned to the Klondike to once again mine the Quartz Creek site but also brought on additional crewmen to simultaneously work another site in the area. But, with Hoffman having delays and equipment trouble at his site, they decided to merge. Parker Schnabel returned to the Big Nugget Mine site with larger and more efficient equipment, while `` Dakota '' Fred Hurt and his crew returned to the Porcupine Creek site. The Hoffman crew mined 803oz. of gold earning them over $1.28 million Parker and Dakota Fred mined 191oz. and 163oz, respectively, worth over a quarter million dollars each. This in comparison to the first season where nobody recovered more than 50oz. of gold. Season 4 The fourth season began airing August 2013 and started with a pre-season episode called `` The Dirt '' featuring interviews with all of the teams featured in season three. `` Gold Rush : Guyana South America '' features the Hoffman crew in South America, Parker Schnabel guest - mining on new land with mentor Tony Beets in Dawson City, and `` Dakota '' Fred Hurt and his son Dustin mining at Cahoon Creek, a hard - to - reach, post-glacial area mined only with pickaxes in the late 1800s. The real Season 4 premiere was October 25, 2013. The Hoffman crew mined barely 2 ounces of gold and were forced to pack up and leave their Guyana mining operation ; the Dakota boys mined 280 oz. ; Parker and his crew mined 836 ounces by the end of the season. He then stayed and continued mining with Rick and picked up an additional 193, bringing his season total to 1,029 ounces. Parker 's $1.4 million haul not only broke Todd Hoffman 's single - season record of 803 oz., but also eclipsed Hoffman 's entire four - season total. Season 5 The two - hour Gold Rush Season 5 premiere kicked off Friday, October 17, 2014, at 9 PM ET / PT with The Dirt airing beforehand at 8 PM ET / PT on the Discovery Channel. By season 's end, Parker mined 2,538 ounces totaling just under $3 million and the Hoffmans mined 1,349 ounces totaling just over $1.6 million. Season 6 The two - hour Gold Rush Season 6 premiere started in the US on October 16, 2015, at 9 PM ET / PT with The Dirt airing beforehand at 8 PM ET / PT on the Discovery Channel, while the UK premiere was on October 20, 2015. By the season 's end, Tony 's dredge pulls out 737 ounces, Parker managed to mine 3,372 ounces worth almost $3.5 million, while the Hoffmans mined 3,032 ounces worth just over $3 million. Season 7 Season 7 premiered on October 14, 2016. By the end of season 7, Todd 's mining effort in Oregon had failed, although he finished the summer at a Fairplay, Colorado mine with a break - even total just over 1100 ounces. Tony Beets and family finished with just over 2100 ounces using a refurbished gold mining dredge. Parker Schnabel and his crew finished with just over 4300 ounces, worth just over 5 million dollars. Season 8 Season 8 premiered on October 13, 2017. This latest 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, Yukon for half a century. It was announced on Gold Rush Live that Season 8 would be the last season on Gold Rush for the Hoffman Family Other programming Aftershows and specials Numerous `` aftershows '' and specials have been produced that document behind - the - scenes action, additional footage, as well as interviews with miners and crew. Gold Rush : the jungle Between the second and third seasons, Todd Hoffman and several crew members traveled to a remote site in Guyana in South America to determine the feasibility of opening up an operation there during the Klondike offseasons. The trip was covered in a single one - hour episode. Although they did discover gold on the claim site, it was not of a sufficient quantity to cover the high expenses of mining the remote site which was accessible only by hiking through a trackless jungle after a harrowing river passage. While the Hoffman crew does go to Guyana for season 4 a year later, given the low probability of profitability, Hoffman chose not to pursue the venture for season 3. The episode ended with doubt about whether they would return. Gold Rush : South America Between the third and the fourth seasons, Todd Hoffman and several crew members traveled to South America to prospect for gold in Peru, Chile, and Guyana. This was covered in several episodes, in a summer season for Gold Rush.
