Great interview. Watching Parker over the past years has been a pleasure. Love his Parents, and miss seeing those kind eyes, reflectiveness, and wisdom of Grandpa. Parker, you are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing a part of your life with friends you don't even know you have.

Nice interview. Glad Parker knows his strengths and weaknesses. Not many 23 year olds could handle a tenth of the responsibilities he had .

Great elders help

Parker has gotten so relaxed being interviewed.

The end of the interview cracked me up, when Dan Bova pulls out his gold and says: so what do you think I could trade this for. Parker: I don't know a joint.

Loads of people give Parker hassle but he has proven everyone wrong, he has absolutely killed all competition on the show and at such a young age. He is a gold mining legend in the making and who knows what he will achieve in years to come.

Our family has been watching Gold Rush from the very beginning. Our favorite part of watching the show has been watching Parker grow up into the man he is today. Best of luck Parker!

I think I started watching Gold Rush in Parker's second season running his own operation in the Yukon. I didn't think much of him at first he was young with very little experience managing people and it really showed, he was just plain nasty to everyone. He's really grown in his role since then and I do truly have a lot of respect for him as a boss now. If I ever got the chance to go up there and gold mine I would want to be on Parker's crew!

Absolutely Chris. The nicest and gentlest soul. It's comforting that he passed away knowing his grandson made it big.

If Parker becomes a quarter of the man his grandpa was he will be a great success in life and i do not mean just financially..

The comments are funny 😂 Parker is only 23 and he has a lot of pressure on him, spend half a million just on fuel any of you without the guarantee of getting it back and see how nice you would be 😂

This was the best interview with Parker I have ever seen. I love that he was able to get past the routine questions he always gets and is able to show some of Parker the man. We were able to see a bit more of who he is and what drives him ( other than gold and money) . Listening to him actually talk of his strengths and weaknesses and laugh at himself and compliment others showed a different side than what us viewers normally get to see. All in all, seeing him smile and laugh and be kind was wonderful. Makes me want to meet him and get to know the real guy not the businessman.

John schnabel was awesome

He was a good kid who turned into a decent man. His grandpa would be proud still today.

Gold Rush is one of the best shows on tv.

Gold Rush is more a glammer of who has the biggest and best toys to play in the mud with..Gold Mining in the real world doesn't cost 7 million a year to operate..The guys on Yukon Gold are realists and do it with old machines and dont even bother to try and spend more then they could possibly make..If you get a chance and haven't watched Yukon Gold I recommend it..They actually show the steps of making Gold and it running through the wash plant and isn't about the Drama..

It makes sense why Tony Beets uses dredges. It's more efficient from an overhead cost perspective. Can't imagine what the fuel costs are to run a bunch of excavators, bulldozers, water pumps, and rock trucks.

I wonder if Parker has ever considered getting in to rock crushing and crushing tailings? Also, Parker's relationship with his grandfather is what sold me on the show.

It has been satisfying to me to spend an hour a week watching Parker grow up. Face it. Its entertainment and so much more goes on plus created drama - not so much in the busiest camps - to make a product that isn't a swimsuit calendar of Todd. His success follows a familiar formula. Be knowledgeable. Surround yourself with good people. Hold yourself responsible. Parker grew up in a business oriented family. To his credit he kept with it. Having the good fortune of a production crew on site for a couple of summers was a mutual anf unforseen benefit. His relationship with John was more precious than anything all the crews have harvested the entire run of the show. Tony Beets taught Parker the realities of mining the first month Parker was in the Klondike. Tony had to have seen some quality in Parker or he would not have given him the time of day. Tony flat gets shit done. Its, as we are told, developed into an adversarial relationship. Now they're neighbors. Tony is a smart guy. He has used Parker to mine ground that he knew was going to be less profitable, plus charge him a premium to do it and using that income to finance what he likely has coveted for years. He pushed Parker until he got to where his operation produced enough to turn a profit. As neighbors though, they really are only competing with themselves. I hope upcoming seasons reveal not only realities of business but how neighbors' relationships are on the edge of civilation and relate to life on the frontier. Someday they are going to need each other.

I've liked Parker since the very beginning of Gold Rush when working with his Grandpa. Sometimes the boss is not very popular, just giving out orders, and people take it wrong. Plus Parker is very young,,so yes he has a lot to learn about being the boss. But Parker is still young, give him a break, he's human and makes mistakes. Hopefully as Parker gets older he's more like his deceased Grandpa, who was a fine man. I think he will.

Parker is grounded and very mature for his age, very nice hardworking young man!

U go Parker we love ya man from your fans from Texas

Its a TV SHOW... Its made that way on purpose. The rivalry between them is a good thing. Yes tony tests his ground, but even drill tests are not 100% accurate he even said that himself. They give a general idea. If they were accurate Parker would of used the data and mined the rich areas first then moved to lean areas. Tony is just a smart business person, he knew no one else was going to give parker land so he made that contract. He is smart. Its business. Tony made alot of money for no work or cost. But really tony should of just mined the land himself and made more money.

How does the small flakes of gold actually get caught when the water is rushing the way it does

So, Whats going on in the window in that building behind them?? hmmmmmm

Proof that hard work will get you there.. Ya, he had the opportunity built in. But his work ethic got him here.

Here is my idea for an awesome TV SHOW...........A small group of guys decide they want to go Gold mining ( Similar to Gold Rush, Discoveries most popular show ever ) But not Placer Gold they decide to go underground and mine Lode Gold ( Where most of the Gold is anyway ) So they go and explore a few abandoned mines looking for a good one. They find an awesome abandoned mine buy it, then form a mining company to raise funds to restore and operate this old mine. The stock is publicly traded on the stock market so the viewers or anyone for that matter can buy or sell shares at anytime. The show would be about the acquisition, development and operation of this old mine. The fact that viewers can own stock in this mine would be revolutionary because it would be the first show ever where viewers actually had a stake in the show they are watching! Lode mining is far more interesting and exciting than placer mining. You have explosives, history, terminology sights and sounds that most people have never seen plus all kinds of interesting minerals and rock formations as well as some danger.

Hey Junior! :D

50 years in construction. Parker is absolutely right. Moving dirt efficiently is the difference between profit and bankruptcy. Simple as it sounds, it combines part science, part psychology and part artistry. You always look at the slowest part of your operation for improvement. Are trucks waiting to load or to dump, is one employee or piece of equipment slowing things down, are the haul road and turnarounds efficient.

I love Gold Rush

i knew panning for gold was done in hollywood in a basement some were with a green screen lol

I liked Parker better when he was a young guy, full of energy and enthusiasm. It seems that the gold mining business is turning him into a cynical and bitter human being. So he's made millions, but what good is that if your life is a constant struggle filled with aggravation and outbursts of anger. It's quite ironic to see him gradually turn into a Tony Beets, the guy whom he hates most.

I’d be willing to bet that’s vodka in the glass.
