The stakes are always high in the world of gold mining, but on this Friday’s “Gold Rush,” the tension reaches a boiling point. The episode, aptly titled “Rick vs. Buzz,” sees mine boss Rick Ness issue a dramatic ultimatum to his foreman, Buzz. What transgression has Buzz committed to earn Rick’s wrath? And what impact will this showdown have on the crew’s already precarious gold-mining operation?
Meanwhile, Parker Schnabel is back at it, reigniting his operation on Sulphur Creek. Is this a sign of a potential gold bonanza or another frustrating dry spell? And adding another layer to the gold-hunting frenzy, Tony Beets and his daughter Monica are on their own treasure hunt at the Hester Cut. Will they strike it rich, or will their efforts come up empty?
This episode looks to be a classic “Gold Rush” cocktail: a mix of high-stakes conflict, relentless ambition, and the ever-present allure of striking it rich. Tune in to Discovery this Friday, March 7th at 8:00 PM for 68 minutes of gold-mining drama.
