Season 17, Episode 5 of Gold Rush airs on Friday, 30 October 2026 at 8pm ET on Discovery.Is it for me?
People who like machinery, mud and arguments over whose equipment broke will settle in here. Every season sets a gold target for the crews, and the weeks play out against that number. The cameras cut between claims, so a dry week at one site lands right after a big haul at another. The show admires the grind and teases the amateurs a little.
Before you start
The first season follows one crew; from season two several crews share the screen, so the later years feel repetitive in a long sitting.
17 seasons, 331 episodes, 67 min each, about 372 hours so far
