While mining for gold seems like a profession relegated to the 1800s, it’s still alive and well, as evidenced by Discovery Channel’s hit series, “Gold Rush.” The series follows various gold mining efforts around the country, although it mostly focuses its attention on operations within Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. There have been plenty of ups and downs throughout the series, and from the start, viewers have had the chance to watch the likes of Parker Schnabel try to find riches.
