In the freezing wilderness of Alaska lie both the brutal elements of nature and the potential for great riches hidden beneath the frosty exterior. In this challenging environment, Parker Schnabel, a young gold prospector, set out on a mission to set new records and unearth a remarkable $14 million worth of gold in just one season.

Parker managed to extract an impressive $14 million worth of gold during the season in Alaska, setting a new record. He highlighted the significance of both low fuel costs and high gold prices in ensuring the success of their operations.

Due to a looming threat of wildfires, Parker was forced to abruptly leave, leaving his team behind to carry on with the work. Despite the various challenges they faced, Parker’s crew, under the leadership of foreman Brennan Rule, managed to exceed their previous achievements by mining over 7,500 ounces of gold. This amounted to nearly $14 million considering the high gold prices of 2020.
