Gold Rush: The Dirt

The Dirt is back with Parker, Rick, Tony and the first-time mine boss, Fred Lewis. Parker lets loose on Fred's style, Rick explains why this will be his best year and Fred shows us a group of veterans that are like no mining team we've seen before.

Parker lays out his new mine boss philosophy and Mitch and Brennan weigh in. The Ness crew explains how less laughs might equal more gold. Kruse starts a side career as a talk show host. Fred Hurt at 77 explains why he has no intention of slowing down.

The Beets children compete with dad to uncover who qualifies as a bonafide artist on the excavator. Fred Lewis, Khara and Kendall discuss how ex-military miners maintain morale during a dearth of gold and Freddy Dodge weighs in on their predicament.

Live from Rick's driveway, Rick and Kruse talk their successful start to the season. Mitch and Doumitt call in from Oregon and Dustin and Carlos take us into the frigid Alaskan white water to talk nuggets, and lots of them.

Tony tells why the gold totals are a closely guarded secret on the mine site. Monica welcomes her best friend Ruby to join. Rick explains how he and Carl developed such a close bond. Tyson joins Mitch and Brennan to discuss Mitch's big blow up.

Christo gets caught in the middle of a debate between Fred and Dustin Hurt on who started the conflict in camp. Later, Fred Lewis and his crew do their best to keep morale high despite low gold totals, an easier job thanks to new Dirt favorite Johnny.

Tony and Minnie check in from Mexico. Freddy Dodge and Juan Ibarra share a sneak peek of their new show, Freddy Dodge's Mine Rescue, and Dave Turin gets in on the fun. Later, Mike Rowe checks in to talk about his new show.

The Dirt celebrates the halfway point for this season of Gold Rush with a mix of never-before-seen footage and our favorite moments. Parker and Fred's confrontation, Rick's history as a football player and an interview with Tyler Mahoney from down under.
