Winter is coming on Gold Rush as Tony Beets and Parker Schnabel battle it out for the mining throne. During the Season 16 finale that aired May 1 on Discovery Channel, the two exchanged words while joining Rick Ness for a drink in Dawson City before wrapping up their respective operations. ”I can’t have you finding more than us,” Parker said to Tony. At this point only 120 ounces separated them with each already exceeding 10,000.
Meanwhile, Rick just wanted to hit his 1,800-ounce goal with 400 to go. The vultures have been circling with Parker and Tony making offers for Rick’s land. “As of right now, I want to see how the season ends, but I’m considering it.” Rick admitted. The underdog doesn’t want to sell out, but money often talks. Tony’s eldest son Kevin also found his back against the wall needing 800 ounces more to hit his own 2,000-ounce target.
