In 2014, we profiled Parker Schnabel, the whiz kid gold dredger on the Discovery Channel’s hit series, Gold Rush. Tonight, the show closes its fifth season with Schnabel as one of the key storylines.

Here’s the release from Discovery:

Discovery Channel’s #1-rated series, GOLD RUSH, wraps up its record-breaking fifth season on Friday, March 6, with a 2 hour super-sized finale.  It’s been a cold winter, but nothing compares to the Klondike at the end of gold season. Having set bigger goals than ever this season, the mine bosses push their crews to the limit and risk friendships, pride and money to get every last ounce of gold. Kicking off the night at 8 PM ET/PT is a historic episode of ‘The Dirt’ where passions will flare as Executive Producer Christo Doyle gathers all three mine bosses to discuss their mad dash to find gold.  Then following the ‘GOLD RUSH’ finale kicking off at 9 PM ET/PT, the miners will share their reactions as they watch from the set of THE DIRT.
