Arguably receiving the least amount of on air time when compared to the rest of the groups, the 'mining expert' that 'Dakota' Fred was presented as during the first season was soon replaced by the notion that he's simply a man that needs to succeed, perhaps more so than the Hoffmans.

Initially portrayed as an antagonist figure during the start of season 2, the true story of 'Dakota' Fred was slowly revealed through the season. 'Dakota' Fred, like many things in life, is a complicated tale. With 'Dakota' Fred taking over the mine that the Hoffmans used during the first season, the amateur gold miners were forced to start over.Д«eginning the mining season behind schedule, though with new-found knowledge, Gold Rush season 2 reveals the immense work and dedication that the Hoffmans had to put in to their mining efforts, and what exactly it takes to reach the goals they set for themselves, not matter what challenges may arise. Transitioning itself from a single tale of the Hoffman crew attempting to provide for their families by striking it rich from mining gold into three concurrent stories, the amount of earnest storytelling that Gold Rush was able to achieve during season 2 is truly awe-inspiring - especially for a reality series.Д«y revealing the many levels of growth that one goes through in their lifetime, the challenges and complications that the three groups faced while attempting to mine gold served to elevate the series beyond any 'get rich quick' stigma that it may have been given during its first season.ДЇor the Hoffman crew, their second season attempt at gold mining provided audiences with an earnest tale of remaining resolute against all odds. Instead of simply focusing on the Hoffman crew's endeavors at their new claim, the Jim Nail Placer mine, Gold Rush season 2 brought in two additional, concurrent stories that wonderfully supplemented the compelling tales of a mining season: the Big Nugget mine with Parker Schnabel and the Quartz Creek with 'Dakota' Fred.
