Gold-mining reality TV competition Greenhorn Gold is in the works

Deadline

Gold Rush creator and star Todd Hoffman is teaming with Bering Sea Gold executive producers Thom Beers and Jeff Conroy on the amateur gold mining reality competition. According to Deadline, Greenhorn Gold "will feature a cast of men and women from all walks of life as novice miners attempting to dig for gold in a blue collar, competition-style reality show. After a massive tryout, the greenhorn miners will be eliminated one-by one until only six remain at the end of the season. Those six will walk away with life-changing money in raw gold to take home to their families." Greenhorn Gold doesn't yet have a network home.
