By the time she turned 16, she was already supervising the entire mining process on her own – at the age of 18, she became the supervisor at Paradise Hill.
In the beginning, Monica was only popular amongst the miners who already knew her and were working for her and her father, however, it all changed when she started appearing in the “Gold Rush” Discovery Channel show on 17 October 2014.

Tony was born in Netherlands on 15 December 1959, and left Netherlands when he was nearly 30 years old and settled in Canada – he began working at Paradise Hill, and soon founded his own gold mining company called Tamarack Mine. There was not a lot of talk about Tony until he became featured in the “Gold Rush” show.
Tony lived on a farm, and had a rather tough childhood as he had to work and support his father Klaus after he became disabled – Klaus later died due to physical problems. Things were not easy for Tony and his mother Magda, but he worked hard and provided as much as he could with what he knew how to do.
While he is leading quite a steady life, not everything is always perfect – in 2015 Tony was charged with violating the Territory’s Walters Act. During one of the episodes which aired in February 2015, Tony’s team filled a dredge pond with gasoline and lit it up – they were all charged for doing so, and had to pay a fine of $31,000.
