and next week's "new" episode will be a recap of last year and a preview of this year. Week two will be the start but it will take until week 3 to settle in to the nit & gritty

The new season of "Gold Rush," the top-rated series on the Discovery Channel, begins with a March 2017 encounter between Todd Hoffman and Parker Schnabel, who are both attending a construction trade show in Las Vegas.

Hoffman, who's known for his optimistic predictions, announces that he's aiming to mine 5,000 ounces of gold in the new "Gold Rush" season, because now he's got "the best ground we've ever had."

"That's what you said last year," an unimpressed Schnabel replies.

Clearly, Schnabel has been paying attention. As any "Gold Rush" viewer knows, every season Hoffman -- who lives in Sandy, Oregon -- sets gold-mining goals some call ambitious and others call over the top.

True to form, the two-hour "Gold Rush" Season 8 premiere, which airs Friday, Oct. 13 on Discovery, features Hoffman again vowing that his crew will dig up 5,000 ounces worth of gold.

It's the same promise Hoffman made in Season 7, which was a whopping disappointment. Hoffman started the season leading his crew, which includes other men from Oregon, to a mine in Baker County, Oregon. That turned out to be a bust. After crew defections and assorted other problems, Hoffman moved his operation to Colorado.

The season ended with Hoffman falling far short of his 5,000-ounce goal, and Gresham's Dave Turin, long Hoffman's right-hand man, getting into a brawl with Trey Poulson, who was doing some work for the Hoffman team. When the season finale aired, Turin appeared in a special that looked back at Season 7. In a surprise announcement, Turin said he was leaving the show.

May be just fun and games the first 2 shows before the mining gets going. Sounds like 100 ozs. on the line to get the fun and games going to lure people in.
Just have to wait and see.

Parker has a new claim, I am not sure if he was told that there was water there or not. If not, then Parker have to pay Tony money for water with money or percentage of gold. Parker is a fool for not checking if the claim have water or not.

I found it funny that after making the bet with Parker, making the huge prediction of mining 5000 ounces and making a big deal about beating Parker this year, Todd instead of letting one of his long time experienced crewmen run the one wash plant, turns it over to his 18 year old son inexperienced son to run. I can't wait to see the failures that is going to lead to.

Considering the way Tony and Parker were acting towards each
other during the "live" show, my guess is that, once again, Tony
has Parker by the nuggets and is pleased with the outcome.

And IMO, no, Parker is not foolish enough to sign-off on the lease
without first checking his options for water. I think Parker and Tony
had already cut a deal on the water access, and what we saw in the
show was just made-up drama.

My guess is that Tony wants 5-10% of Parker's take on the new lease
for accessing the claim across Tony's land, and access to the water.

Let's see what happens.....8-)
