Gold Rush Season 5 Episodes
Season 5 Episode Guide
22 Episodes 2014 - 2014
Season 5 of the reality show about modern gold miners is full of big changes for everyone. Parker is more confident than ever in his capabilities and sets a goal of 2000 ounces (double what he made the previous season), hires one of Todd Hoffman's top mechanics, and re-invests all his money in this new endeavor. Todd has lost his land, his right-hand man and his confidence, so he dives head first into going back to Yukon to mine. Tony Beets joins the race, but mismanages most of his operation. This is the season where each crew takes big risks, but not all of them might go home with their pot of gold.
