As we reported at the end of December, Gold Rush star Todd Hoffman and his company, 316 Mining, LLC., were facing some pretty hefty fines after they allegedly cleared land beyond the boundaries of their “Fairplay Placer Mine” claim in Colorado.

As we reported waaaay back in October, Gold Rush star Todd Hoffman and his crew of gold miners didn’t have much luck finding gold in their home state of Oregon, so they packed up their mining equipment (yet again) and headed a few states over to Colorado.

Gold Rush is currently the most-watched original program on cable (The Walking Dead is temporarily on hiatus), so of course it makes sense that the show’s main star, Todd Hoffman, would be courted for an endorsement from the 2016 presidential candidates.

For fans (and avid detractors) of Gold Rush star Todd Hoffman and his family, we have two very interesting things to report! First, Todd announced earlier this year that he and the rest of the Hoffmans have a new family-based, prepper-themed spin-off reality show in the works. Second, seemingly confirming rumors that the Hoffman crew…

Fans of Discovery Channel’s top-rated series Gold Rush got a rare treat this week as the show’s cast members made a rare public appearance together — or at least at the same event at the same time. That’s right, Parker Schnabel, Todd Hoffman and Dakota Fred Hurt (and members of their crews) were all in attendance at the 2014 CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, Nevada. And, believe it or not, The Klondike Viking himself, Tony Beets, was also there! (And lookin’ damn sexy too!)
On the current season of Discovery’s hugely popular reality series Gold Rush, America’s favorite bumbling crew of perpetual amateur gold miners have abandoned the frozen tundra of Alaska and the Yukon to look for gold in the sweltering South American rainforests of Guyana. Actually, they’ve abandoned looking for gold too and have instead put all of their hundreds of thousands of dollars in another risky basket: diamonds! In the most recent episode SPOILER ALERT the crew manages to find just under 30 teeny tiny little diamonds. So what does that equate to money-wise? Keep reading to find out what way too many hours researching this question online turned up and decide for yourself if Todd is a genius or not.

Before the bearded Robertson men of Duck Dynasty took the world (and Walmarts) by storm, there was another batch of bushy-mugged reality show relatives whose chinny-chin-chins never saw the light of day — Jack and Todd Hoffman of Discovery’s Gold Rush and Gold Rush South America. You can see Jack Hoffman without his Santa worthy white beard thanks to photos of him as a young man in the military, but Todd is a completely different story — his Facebook-Page-inspiring goatee is so inexorably linked to Todd’s visage some have pondered if perhaps he wasn’t born with it. It’s time to rest your weary imagination, folks! Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, we have the world’s first picture of Todd with nothing more than a five o’clock shadow adorning his chin!
Todd Hoffman has once again dragged his crew into the jungle, and it is not going well for them. Besides the financial bind that the Hoffmans always seem to be in, the dangers of the jungle are very, very real. Has Todd gone too far this time financially or otherwise? Has he really gone too far this time?
Todd Hoffman hasn’t given up gold mining, but he’s opening a new business producing non-perishable foods “in case things get weird.” Read on to see what Todd’s worried about, and why he’s doing what he’s doing.
Todd Hoffman is no stranger to criticism, but when Gold Rush Executive Producer Christo Doyle joined in it seemed to cross the line, and a fellow bearded reality star, Duck Dynasty‘s Willie Robertson, reached out with some encouragement. Read on to see what Willie said and how Todd is reacting to Christo’s low blow.
Todd Hoffman isn’t focused right now on getting gold out of the ground, instead he is issuing advice about how to put food into a bunker . . . .in case things get weird. Read on to see what gold mining and storing non-perishable foods have to do with each other, and how he turned his advice into a pep talk for those who lack the self-confidence to be outspoken.
It seems like ages ago that Jimmy Dorsey rumbled with Greg Remsburg and then left the Hoffman crew at Porcupine Creek for good. Heck, it seems like ages since the Hoffmans were at Porcupine Creek at all. Read on to see what in the world Jimmy Dorsey is up to these days. Hint: it involves gold mining and reality tv!
Check out these updates and photos from Dakota Fred’s 2012 season at Porcupine Creek which seem to indicate he may have had a GREAT summer in Alaska! Could it be that he is the miner who hit the motherlode as hinted at in the Gold Rush 3 trailer?
The first trailer for Gold Rush 3 is out, and although it doesn’t show us much about the new season, it raises a lot of interesting questions about what’s coming. The Hoffmans are back, of course, and so is Parker Schnabel. It is a little more surprising to see that Dakota Fred Hurt is in the cast again. And, since we’re told that someone will strike it rich this season, I can’t help wondering if Fred finally finds glory at the bottom of Jack’s, now famous, hole in Porcupine Creek.
The Hoffman crew of Discovery Channel’s popular reality series Gold Rush Alaska have spent the last two summer seasons mining for gold in the frigid climates of Alaska and the Yukon of Canada. But, as anyone who watches the show knows, as soon as the snow starts to fall, it’s time to shut down for the winter. So what does Todd Hoffman do? He heads down to check out a claim in Guyana, South America!
Before Gold Rush Alaska‘s Jack Hoffman started mining for glory in the hole in Porcupine Creek, he and his wife Georgia Hoffman (mis)managed a different kind of hole in Portland Oregon, The All States Motel, and the details aren’t pretty. Read on to learn about the numerous code violations and dilapidated living conditions of this Hoffman property (reportedly just one of many in their possession at the time), and find out about Jack’s current tax problems involving the Sandy River Airport.
Fans of Discovery Channel’s treasure-seeking reality series Gold Rush Alaska are all too familiar with the grizzled, hard-working, and eternally optimistic crew patriarch Jack Hoffman, whose failed attempt at gold mining 25 years previous inspired his son to try again. But back before he was a white bearded heavy machinery wizard with a propensity for homoerotic innuendo (gl0ry hole any one?), Jack Hoffman was a recently enlisted, clean-cut 18-year-old military man with a beautiful young wife, Georgia Hoffman. Keep reading to see the pictures of this handsome young dude just before he headed off to Vietnam and way before he would become a huge reality star! This is hot stuff!
If you watched the Gold Rush “Revelations” episode, then you learned a lot more about Parker Schnabel’s temper, John Harness’s unpopularity, and Todd Hoffman’s grand promises for next season; but, you didn’t learn one thing about Dakota Fred Hurt, because he wasn’t on the show. There wasn’t even one oblique allusion to Fred who, at the beginning of Season Two, was in the middle of all the drama. So, what’s up? Find out straight from Fred!
When Dakota Fred Hurt rolled into Porcupine Creek just as the Hoffman’s were swirling the last bit of black sand out of their first pan of Season Two gold, there was no question who was being cast as the villain in Gold Rush 2. Dakota Fred’s timing and smirk were almost too evil to be plausible, and he became a very easy man to hate. But, does he deserve our disdain, or was it just edited to look that way?
At the end of the first season of Gold Rush, the Hoffman crew was on the gold; but the Alaska winter rolled in and they had to move out. They spent the off season dreaming of the fortunes waiting for them in the g|ory h0le that they had worked so long and hard to uncover. But, in Gold Rush 2, Dakota Fred Hurt is working Porcupine Creek, and the Hoffmans are 600 miles North on Quartz Creek in the Klondike? What happened to the Hoffman’s claim? How did Dakota Fred get it?
