The region is billed as hosting five times more gold than the Klondike yet is far more dangerous than efforts in Alaska or Canada. With information gathered in this trip, the Hoffman crew relocates from the frozen north to the Q.O.D. In Gold Rush: South America-a miniseries that aired between seasons 3 and 4-the Hoffman crew scout out potential mining opportunities in Peru, Chile, and Guyana. The Parker Schnabel crew left the nearly played out Big Nugget Mine in Alaska and leased a site along Scribner Creek in the Yukon. The Dakota boys split their risk between the new, mountainous Cahoon Creek mine, and their long standing claim on Porcupine Creek. The Hoffman crew pulled up their stakes and took a swing at mining in South America at the Q.O.D. Season 4 of Gold Rush took familiar faces but shuffled locations. We suggest starting from the beginning of this series.
This is part four of a series about the mines featured in the Gold Rush TV show.
