His concerned crew members were unable to see Dustin from the height and his father ‘Dakota’ Fred Hurt hurried to look for him. If it did injure him, it could mean the end of the season for Dustin in his hunt for gold.Įpisode 11 began right where the previous one ended.
The episode ends before one can surmise if Dustin his hurt - a huge piece of rock from a height like that was sure to cause damage. While transferring the dredge down, a big piece of rock falls from a great height, hitting Dustin. After finally settling on “McKinley Falls”, a dangerous bit of terrain that had brought lots of gold for miners in the 19th century, as their new spot for gold mining, Dustin Hurt’s crew found themselves with the Herculean task of transporting their incredibly heavy equipment to the region. That’s just being a good neighbor up in the Klondike.Episode 10 of the Discovery Channel documentary-series ‘Gold Rush: White Water’ Season 3 ended on a massive cliffhanger. Before the season had even begun he asked young Parker for a favor to help him dig out the road to his gold mine claim at Porcupine Creek – which Parker was more than happy to do despite the cost of fuel – which is not cheap. We have to be careful not to jump to conclusions however as the soundbite does not necessarily give adequate context nor a time-sequence of events.Ĭlick Here for More Details Dakota Fred Showing True Colors and One-Way NatureĪs previously mentioned, we are still only one episode into the Gold Rush Alaska season 3 and we have already seen yet another example of the short-sightedness / one-way help of Dakota Fred. An additional quote from grandpa John Schnabel indicates the possibility of serious injuries or possibly a very near miss for crew members. Teasers for the season after episode 1 indicate a serious roll-over accident on what looks to be equipment on the Big Nugget claim. We honestly don’t have much to go by after just one episode but early indications are that Parker Schnabel has put himself under a lot of pressure in 2012 and it is likely that being under that kind of pressure is going to lead to catastrophic mistakes for the young man. Troubled Times for the Pressured Parker Schnabel at Big Nugget Obviously they will run into some stumbling blocks along the way given some of the crew members are greenhorns, but with Dave Turin leading the second crew on the new claim and Quartz Creek already producing in week one I think Hoffman fans have a lot to look forward to this season. This year they are financed like a real mining operation, already have two claims to work (and have produced gold in week one of the mining season at Quartz Creek), and have far better equipment and a larger crew.
I’m going out on a limb and proclaiming this is the year Todd Hoffman and his crew hit big paydirt. Otherwise, let the speculation begin! Comments welcome! Is 2012 Finally the Year the Hoffman’s Strike Gold Meaningfully
Do the Hoffman’s find gold in season 3 of Gold Rush? The teasers indicate that someone strikes it rich in the Alaskan klondike but will it be one of the three featured mining groups? We make the case here that we can discern from what little we’ve seen so far that we can make a good guess as to who comes out on top in 2012.
