Discovery Channel’sGold Rushprovides an in-depth look at the life of a mining crew, and the cast boasts a ton of colorful personalities, including Tatiana Costa. Since 2010, the show has centered onAlaskan gold miner Parker Schnabel, who’s been leading the crew of his family’s mining business since he was just 16 years old, and he mined over $13 million in gold across his career. But he certainly didn’t do it alone.

Schnabel’sGold Rushmining crew is made up several diverse personalities. Tony Beets is a veteran cast member, who’s been on the show since season 2, and got his own crew in season 5. There are also the more hotheaded miners, like David Turin, who leftGold Rushin season 7. But while they may differ in personalities, Schnabel’s crew is largely comprised of men, which makes Tatiana Costa an even more unique presence.

She’s Been Striking Gold Since 2020

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Schnabel found his mining business understaffed. As a result, he had to hire inexperienced miners, including Tatiana Costa, who had never mined before. In Costa’s initial appearance, she successfully drove a loader and dumped materials into the proper bins on her first try. She hit a truck, but she caused no severe damage to the truck nor harm to the other crew members.
