Gold Rush fans saw the McCaughans joining the cast of the show and it also included their sons Bryce and Gage. The fourteenth season of Gold Rush debuted in 2017 and will last till 2024. Fans of the popular Discovery Channel program were ecstatic to see Tony Beets and Parker Schnabel back on the mine.
Above all, though, they were ecstatic to have Rick Ness back on the show. 2024’s episode not only introduced The McCaughans, a new mining family, to viewers, but it also included the old favorites that they already knew.
Fans are eager to see some “new blood” join the cast, even if many are happy to see Rick return on Gold Rush after he “hit rock bottom.” The mine on Eureka Creek is operated by the McCaughans, a family of four miners. Brian McCaughan, his wife Sharon, and their two sons, Gage and Bryce oversee the “tough” enterprise.

Gold Rush: Who Are Brian McCaughan Sons?
Brian McCaughan and his wife Sharon McCaughan share two boys named Bryce and Gage.
Brian McCaughan and his family were invited as a guest on the last episode of the Gold Rush. The family is known for discovering a woolly mammoth in Yukon. On June 21, right before noon, Travis Delawski, one of Brian’s crew members climbed into his excavator and headed toward the river in the Klondike fields of Yukon, where he started to scratch the black ground.
He reported that he had “found a body” over the radio to his supervisor, Brian, as he got out of his machine to take a closer look. When Brian went to examine the animal, he claimed he was prepared to discover “broken-up bones,” which are common in the region.
“I walked over to look at the bones and it had fresh skin on it and hair and looked like it died a week ago,” he told ChatNewsToday.
According to the Yukon government, the mammoth is the most complete and best-preserved in North America and was discovered in the Tr’ondek Hwech’in traditional area. Elders of the Tr’ondek Hwech’in people gave the mammoth the name Nun cho ga, which translates to “big baby animal” in their Han tongue.
Even now, almost a month after her discovery, the gravity of the finding, he said, slowly dawns on him.
There is something in everyone’s life that stands out, and McCaughan said the day he saw Nun cho ga was his.
