Discovery’s Gold Rush: White Water is taking a serious plunge this Friday, both literally and figuratively. In The Beginning of the End (Season 9, Episode 7), airing at 8:00 PM ET, Dustin and his team face a major setback, forcing them to roll the dice one last time if they hope to salvage their season.
The episode shows Dustin scraping rock bottom—literally—as he’s forced to abandon the treacherous Wall dive site after an expensive and risky excavation yields little more than danger. With his patience wearing thin, the crew sets its sights on The Golden Straits, a new location that could turn out to be their saving grace—or their ultimate downfall.
Part adventure series, part nail-biting financial gamble, Gold Rush: White Water shows the high-stakes reality of gold hunting in Alaska’s unforgiving backcountry. This week’s episode cranks up the desperation, making for a white-knuckle race against time and rapidly dwindling odds.
Gold Rush: White Water returns Friday, June 6 at 8:00 PM ET on Discovery.
