The series “Gold Rush”
Todd joined the main cast during the show’s first season when it was still called “Gold Rush: Alaska”, and featured six people from Sandy who lost their jobs in an economic downturn and thus chose to invest everything in their search of gold. Most of the cast members knew nothing about gold mining, and had to learn on the go.
The show changed its name to “Gold Rush” for its second season, which featured Todd who was late for his lease payment on Dakota and Porcupine Creek, and follows his crew’s new mine in the Klondike region’s Quartz Creek where they found $150,000 worth of gold.
The third season of the show started airing in October 2012, and again followed Todd mining at Quartz Creek, this time realizing $1.3 million worth of gold during the season.
The fourth season of the show started airing in August 2013 featuring interviews with the crew members, and it shows Todd as he tried mining in Guyana, South America. After investing a lot of money and time, he abandoned the mining site having found only two ounces of gold. The boys from the Dakota mining group mined 280ozs, while Parker’s crew mined 1,029ozs worth around $1.4 million. In the fifth season which began airing on 17 October 2014, Parker made close to $3 million from 2,538ozs of gold, while Todd made a bit over $1.6 million having mined around 1,350ozs.
