Dave Turin on the Alaska Gold Rush
American engineer Dave Turin was a longtime friend of TV star Todd Hoffman. Consequently, it came to the entry into the TV show. After his time in the family business, he joined Todd Hoffmann’s gold prospecting team. In the first season of Alaska Gold Rush , he served as an outside consultant for the team. He then had the opportunity to start mining gold himself. Dave Turin chose this path and was an integral part of the gold prospecting team in the second season . His colleagues Parker Schnabel , Rick Ness and Tony Beets are the well-known treasure hunters from the Alaska gold rush.
Exit the gold rush
In the third season, Turin even adopted its own claim. He managed the Indian River mine on his own responsibility. A gold mining failure in the Guyanese jungle saw him leave the Todd Hoffmann team and appear exclusively as a business partner in the TV series. The final break with the series came at the end of the seventh season in a row with a physical altercation . So Turin got out of the series and later got its own spin-off.
Gold Rush: Dave Turin’s Lost Mine
After leaving the television series, Turin continued his work as a prospector. In an Alaska Gold Rush spinoff called Gold Rush: Dave Turin’s Lost Mine , he seeks out already abandoned mines and wants to work them again . The series will be broadcast on DMAX.
