Warning: The below contains spoilers for Gold Rush Season 15, Episode 15.] Time has been ticking closer toward the end of the season, which meant the Gold Rush mine bosses had to make some big moves to get to their goals. Parker Schnabel has only banked less than 3,000 ounces into his 10,000-once target. To speed up the process, he decided to purchase a mining company for $2.5 million, which included the Sulphur Creek claim that had ground ready to sluice. Over at Indian Creek, Tony Beets started out strong. However, operations have stalled out due to frozen ground. This left him with only the wash plant Trommel sluicing for gold at Paradise Hill. With gold prices high, he wanted to do all he could to take advantage of that. During the February 14 episode, it seemed that this laser-focus eye on the prize means the children take a backseat. At least that’s how daughter Monica felt.
