Discovery’s Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail is a must-watch tonight — as our exclusive clip shows their luck has turned from bad to golden!
The episode comes off last week’s when Parker Schnabel and his team of three were beat up by the elements, and all started to get on each other’s nerves as they follow the famous Klondike trail in pursuit of gold.
At the height of the gold rush stampede, over 7,000 boats traveled exactly where they are now, through the same northern lakes, racing each other to stake the best claims in the gold fields.
In our exclusive clip from this week’s episode, Parker has the crew on the banks and is hand sluicing while Karla Charlton fishes the lake. A bounty comes in with her first cast, and then another, and another…
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Parker dishes paydirt ahead of Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail
She catches seven grayling in total. The crew will finally eat, but for Parker’s mission to succeed he needs to find gold.

The team, Parker, Rick, Karla, and James Levelle, set aside their differences and arguments as the look on in awe.
The seven Grayling fish that Karla hooked, and the gold that Parker found, will momentarily satisfy their hunger and stir their resolve to forge ahead, despite the bitter cold.
What else will Parker find tonight?
Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail airs Fridays at 9/8c on Discovery.
