He was the youngest member of the Hoffman Crew, a group of men from Oregon that go to Alaska to mine for gold.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, Jimmy, more commonly known as &#8220;Jim,&#8221; delivered a memorable performance on Gold Rush: Alaska, culminating in him leaving the dig site before the season was even over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He met&nbsp;Gold Rush&nbsp;star Todd Hoffman through a hunting group, which is how he ended up in Alaska mining for money.&nbsp;However, there&#8217;s been no sign of Jimmy in the current season and we can explain why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>ANSWERED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/whats-on\/is-todd-hoffman-returning-to-gold-rush\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Is Discovery&#8217;s Todd Hoffman returning to Gold Rush?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gold Rush - Episode 3 - Dorsey\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vXlfdbf0Lko?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jimmy-dorsey-on-gold-rush\">Jimmy Dorsey on Gold Rush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jimmy spent a total of 80 days with the crew on Gold Rush. His Facebook lists him as a former greenhorn at Gold Rush Alaska Season one but continues to state he&#8217;s a gold miner who lives in Happy Valley, Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The married former cast member to two children was part of Todd&#8217;s team but just a few months into Dorsey&#8217;s only year of mining, he had to throw in the towel and leave the show&#8217;s first season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During season one, Jimmy took a job salmon fishing. He claimed in an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregongold.net\/gold-rush-alaska-jimmy-dorsey-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Oregon Gold<\/a> interview: &#8220;Even me leaving was scripted, but the way in which it happened was not. The plans were made, but the footsteps were ours.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-to-jimmy\">What happened to Jimmy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jimmy claims he was paid $3,000 for his Gold Rush appearance by the time he left. He went on to take classes in Nevada at a school of mining to learn about gold mining. He told Oregon Gold, &#8220;I am not done with gold mining.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gold Rush star claimed it was &#8220;never his intention to leave&#8221; and said his plan was to stay the entire summer and see it out. After leaving the mine, Jimmy still continued to do mining off-screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He went on to speak to investors about a mine up north as there were a couple of hard rock mines in Oregon that he was looking at. Jimmy said he was performing assays up on the mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jimmy Dorsey <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LkJPvffxOJ\">pic.twitter.com\/LkJPvffxOJ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Justin TurfTank VanLanduit (@TurfTank) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TurfTank\/status\/1208852858394808325?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 22, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>OH DEAR: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/discovery\/gold-lies-and-videotape-airs-instead-of-white-water-and-fans-are-confused\">Unhappy Gold Rush White Water fans dub mid-season break &#8216;not cool&#8217;<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-is-the-gold-rush-star-now\">Where is the Gold Rush star now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jimmy is now working in real estate but is still a gold miner on the side.
