The Hoffman crew competes under the banner of the 316 Mining Company, with a team that includes Todd, his son Hunter and father Jack, as well as career miners Trey Poulson, Freddy Dodge, Andy Spinks and Jim Thurber. While their operations may be small by commercial mining standards, the competition is fierce, with season eight highlighted by a high stakes wager between the Hoffman and Schnabel crews: 100 oz. of gold to the team that mines the most of the highly prized mineral.
