Strike Gold This Friday on Discovery Channel

October 24, 2012 | by kdelmonico

This Friday, the Gold Rush crews return to Discovery Channel for their third season of trying to strike it rich — and this season, one of them does. The stakes are higher as Todd doubles down on two claims he is, quite literally, banking everything on, while Dakota Fred’s glory hole may contain millions in gold.

Before the premiere, tune in at 7:30pm ET/PT for Gold Rush: Do or Die to find out what’s happened since the miners went home after the second season. The Gold Rush guys will be tweeting live and some of their tweets will appear during the episode. You also can tweet live with the #GoldRush hashtag during the episode and you might see your Tweet live on air as we count down to the season premiere at 9pm ET/PT.

Later, two rookie American gold miners head to Ghana to tap into the potential multi-million dollar gold claims buried in the dense jungles there on the premiere of Jungle Gold. While worrying about cold weather isn’t a factor in Ghana, mining is the easy part in this region, as the high stakes of the gold trade result in dangerous conditions amongst the miners.
Check out a sneak peek of Jungle Gold below and don’t miss the series premiere Friday at 10pm ET/PT.

    OMG can it be any harder to put in a code for a contest — I never did get to put it in — even after an E-mail with a link to same nothingness —- What a RIP

    Sorry to hear that you had issues, and I have passed your message along to the Discovery Channel team. There was a short-term outage but that was fixed rather quickly on Friday.

    Camera crews can be a pain but for being such a drama queen, Todd Hoffman sure is a dick.

    todd i would have to say after watching the episode where you were yelling at your employee about backing a 90,000 pound dump truck up to a ledge in the dark…. Was the final incident that made me classify you as a idiot. On national televison you bullied a worker that refused to do something unsafe. Your a wanna be gold miner. Go back to sweeping streets and let dave run the show. He’s more of a leader and has common sense.
