‘Gold Rush: White Water’: Dustin Hurt Receives Devastating News That Impacts Season

During the premiere episode of the eighth season of the Gold Rush: White Water series last week, Dustin Hurt sustained a serious hand injury while repairing the pulley system on his crew’s deuce sluice.
Suffering intense pain from an injury, Hurt traveled from Nugget Creek to Haines, Alaska, covering a considerable distance to receive a medical evaluation and paused operations until his return.
At the same time, the 250-pound Deuce Sluice, constructed by the Richardson brothers Wes and Paul using components from three separate dredges, was in danger due to unstable skyline anchors struggling to hold it against the powerful current below.
After a two-hour delay caused by rushing waters restricting intake flow and producing deadly steam, James Hamm dived and found a small nugget, though gold generally was not found and morale dropped.
Hurt's injury and ongoing debt forced an operational pause, with surgery recommended and the season's success dependent on his recovery and return to lead mining efforts.
