Gold Rush: Alaska

Gold Rush: Alaska is a Discovery Channel original reality TV series that follows Todd Hoffman and his gang as they look to strike it big, California 1849 style. Earlier in his life, Todd had been living a typical American dream, running his own business and living the family life in Oregon. As his business began to sour with the economy in a tailspin, Todd set his sights on gold, seemingly the only commodity whose price was rising during the recession. With an estimated $250 billion worth of gold hiding away in the Alaskan terrain, Todd and his family packed up their bags and headed out west like the pioneering spirits of old. One trick that Todd has in his bag is that his father, Jack, is a veteran of the Alaskan mining game, having tried his lot there for three seasons. Using his family property, modern equipment, and the help of a dedicated team, Todd hopes to follow in his father's footsteps, albeit a little more successfully this time. Watch Todd and his crew as they face the multitude of dangers and challenges as modern gold miners in Discovery Channel's thrilling new series Gold Rush: Alaska. MORE
