As viewers of Discovery's
Gold Rush are well aware, Tony Beets is quite fond of his million-dollar bucket dredge. Some might go so far as to say he has treated the floating machinery just like a 75-year-old, 350-ton adopted child. So, I suppose it would make sense that Tony would want to add the dredge to his
rather short list of tattoos that includes the names of his wife and his four other children.
Today is a very special day as one of our favorite reality TV stars ever, Gold Rush's grandpatriarch John Schnabel, turns 96 years young! The ALWAYS good-natured Grandpa John took the opportunity to answer some fan questions and share some of his wisdom and advice from his more than nine decades.
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz took time out of his busy campaign schedule to talk with Gold Rush's Todd Hoffman on the phone in hopes of getting the reality star's endorsement. It seems the conversation went well as Todd officially announced this weekend that he is Team Rubio. Keep reading for Todd's full statement, and watch a video in which he talks about his decisions. Plus, Todd shares a major Gold Rush spoiler in regards to whether or not he will be leasing his claim from Parker Schnabel next season!
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 would be returning to the United States for the next gold mining season, online records indicate one of the family's companies recently registered a gold mine in Oregon!
On Season 6 of Gold Rush we see Todd Hoffman and his crew returning to McKinnon Creek for the second year in a row, this time with a lofty goal of 2,700 oz of gold for the season. Also for the second year in a row, it appears as though the company that is leasing the McKinnon Creek claim to the Hoffmans has spoiled their season by revealing just how much gold they found in a press release!
Tonight is the return of cable television's highest rated reality series as Discovery's Gold Rush Season 6 kicks off with a two-hour premiere episode. In honor of the big event we thought we would pay tribute with a collection of throwback photos of the small screen's most foul-mouthed uber-bearded Dutch Viking, Tony Beets!
Christo Doyle, Gold Rush Executive Producer and host of The Dirt, ended months of speculation by taking to Twitter and Periscope to announce the Gold Rush Season 6 premiere dates for the US and the UK! Plus, he revealed a two-minute preview trailer for what looks to be yet another dramatic season chock full of drama, blunders–and, of course, GOLD!
Former Gold Rush star Dakota Fred Hurt shared some very sad news with his fans on Facebook today, announcing that his wife Lorrayne Hurt passed away earlier today.

Any fan of Discovery's popular reality series Gold Rush knows that Todd Hoffman is extremely skilled at...ummm... Well, anyways, who knew the portly aspiring miner has some mad basketball skillz?!? Todd took to his Facebook page yesterday to share a video of himself doing some fancy dribbling and even dunking by jumping over a car! Still, his on-screen rival Parker Schnabel was unimpressed, and the 21-year-old took to Facebook to do what Todd does so well -- throw shade. (See what I did there?)
