This spin-off series followed Dave Turin, formerly of the Hoffman crew, as he looked to start new mining operations at disused gold mines in the Western United States.[1] Dave Turin set up Golden Streets Mining LLC as the mining company for this venture.[2][3] The series debuted in March 2019 (the mining took place in 2018), centering on a placer mine along Lynx Creek near Prescott Valley, Arizona (season gold total 80oz, $96,000).[4] In 2020 (the mining took place in 2019), the show's second season ran from February to April, with eight episodes centering on a placer mine along Silver Creek in Birdseye, near Marysville, Montana (season gold total 225.1oz, $340,000).[5] In 2021 (the mining took place in 2020), the show's third season ran 16 episodes from March to July, centering on a placer mine along Box Creek in Lake County, Colorado for 12 weeks (gold total 426.8oz, $810,000) before moving back to Lynx Creek in Arizona for the last four weeks (gold total 174oz; whole season gold total 600.95oz, over $1,000,000). In 2022 (the mining took place in 2021), the show's fourth season ran 16 episodes from May to September, centering on a placer mine along Glacier Creek in the Chugach Census Area, near Valdez, Alaska, for 13 out of 20 weeks (season gold total 463oz, over $800,000).
In 2022, Dave Turin began the process of selling the Valdez Glacier Creek claim to Nathan Clark and Jason Sanchez, 2 members of his crew from the beginning of this spin-off series, as Dave retires from mining. This process aired in 2023 (the mining took place in 2022; season gold total 29.75oz), as part of the regular Gold Rush TV series; there being no Dave Turin's Lost Mine season for the wind-up.[6]
