Dave Turin’s Net Worth $2 Million
Turin started as a high school football player and later excelled as an athlete. He continued this trend in college, before pursuing a civil engineering degree. He then joined his family’s rock quarry business, which has been operating for over 25 years.
Eventually, Turin became a consultant for the Porcupine Creek gold mining claim. His dedication led him to work with the crew full time. He took a break from the family business to convince them that he could return home with riches from gold mining. Currently, he is featured on the popular show “Gold Rush” produced by Discovery Channel, participating as one of the miners striving to acquire substantial amounts of gold. Although Turin has limited mining expertise, he is highly experienced in earth-moving and miner safety. The crew is often seen in Alaska and the Klondike mountains where they hold a mining claim. He also possesses proficient operating skills with construction equipment, mainly working with the Hoffmans.
After facing a setback in mining in Guyana, he briefly teamed up with the Dodge brothers (Derek and Freddy) before returning to the Hoffmans and aiding them in securing gold during season five. They worked at the McKinnon Creek Claim, and Turin was responsible for much of the equipment used there. Notably, he played a crucial role in securing most of the gold for the entire season at the Indian River Claim.
“Gold Rush” first aired in October 2015, showcasing various mining teams across the Yukon Territory. Initially known as “Gold Rush: Alaska”, it was renamed after the first season. In the show’s second season, the Hoffman family discovered gold valued at $150,000. Subsequently, they mined 803 ounces of gold worth $1.28 million in the next season. With Turin’s help, they continued their mining success during the fifth and sixth seasons, earning $1.6 million and $3 million respectively.
In his personal life, Dave Turin is married to Shelly, his high school sweetheart. The couple has three children and two grandchildren.
