Over the years fans watched legends like Rick Ness, Parker Schnabel, Tony Beets, and more stake claims all over the continent to mine for gold and try to strike it rich.  

Last season Rick Ness was noticeably absent from Gold Rush.  It was revealed later on that the miner was having issues with his girlfriend Leesa Marie again, and was struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder. 

Fans caught a glimpse of Ness last season when Zee paid him a visit to make sure he was okay.  Those scenes drew a lot of concern from Gold Rush fans because they had never seen Rick looking so rough and ill.  

Rick Ness wrote on Facebook, “Rumor Alert!! There’s a big mystery going on about whether or not I am mining this year. I’d love to confirm or deny this, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise.”
