‘Gold Rush’: Tony Beets Achieves Season First After More Than 40 Years Mining

Tony Beets completes the ditch after crews raced to reach 1,800 ounces and secure bonuses before winter shut down operations.

  • On the Gold Rush season finale, Tony Beets achieved a career first in 40-plus years of mining, as the Beets family reached 10,212 ounces worth over $38 million.
  • Parker Schnabel pushed his equipment to unlock a 10,000-ounce achievement, bringing his total to $38 million while competing neck and neck with Beets during the season finale.
  • Rick Ness faced a 'sink or swim' scenario at the Last Chance Cut, where he needed 420 ounces to reach his 1,800-ounce goal before season's end.
  • To avoid two days of potential downtime, Mechanic Alec Kelly repaired the 700 excavator as winter conditions threatened to freeze machinery and halt operations.
  • Looking toward next year, foreman Mitch Blaschke oversaw stripping projects to ensure the team earned bonuses and secured funding for another mining season.
