At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
On December 30, 1966, Freddy Dodge was born in Walden, Colorado, United States of America.
He grew up at a cattle ranch and had his first taste of mining at the age of eight years. He developed his skills over the years, so much so that he was hired as a consultant on 'Gold Rush'.
He is a gold miner and became famous after appearing in Discovery's reality TV show 'Gold Rush'. The series is based on the men from Oregon who suffered financial hardships during the recession. However, they risked their savings and became gold miners. Freddy Dodge has wonderful working chemistry with one of the best machinists, Juan Ibarra, and together, they were unbeatable. He had a famous disagreement with Todd Hoffman during the fourth season of 'Gold Rush'. During the show's seventh season, he left Klondike for mining in Baker County.
As a TV actor, Freddy Dodge has helped the show win numerous awards, including ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards.
Freddy Dodge has earned a considerable fan following with his incredible skills in handling machinery and gold equipment. He is regarded as one of the leading experts in gold recovery across the world and is at par with some of the prominent names in the industry. He has personally not received any awards yet for his performances but has certainly played a key role in the series winning several awards.
Freddy Dodge's net worth is approximately $400,000, thanks to his success as a TV actor. Besides mining, his other source of income is the TV series 'Gold Rush' and his family business.
