If you haven't seen a Discovery Channel gold-hunting show, you might picture a
gold prospector as a relic of the Wild West: a TNT-toting, bearded old man
wildly swinging a pick on the hunt for nuggets, guided by old maps,
superstition, legends and instinct. It's still predominantly a man's world,
and still often fanatical, but these days the golden dream attracts people
from all walks of life - and 25-year-old Tyler Mahoney (Australian star of the
Discovery Channel's Gold Rush series) is leading the way.
Hailing from Kalgoorlie, Tyler is a fourth-generation gold miner and has seen
up close how gold fever makes normally reasonable people do the most
irrational things. From mysterious corpses in the desert to huge heists,
backstabbings to life-changing finds, Tyler unearths hair-raising stories and
legends from Australia's gold prospecting past and present, while sharing her
experience forging her way in a traditionally male domain. She writes candidly
about the push and pull of the gold world in her own life, as well as her
struggles with bipolar disorder - a mental-health challenge that in some ways
parallels the feast-or-famine nature of prospecting itself.
With humour, grit and an infectious zest for life, 'gold digger' Tyler Mahoney
stakes her claim.
