The Alaskan Bush People finale for the season ended with the family finding gold on their mountain. This was the best news of all for Rain Brown, who had just returned home from checking herself into a mental health facility for depression issues.

Here is a look at how they found gold on the mountain and what is next for the Brown family.

Alaskan Bush People find gold on their property

Rain Brown checked herself into a mental health facility to help overcome her depression issues. While she was gone, Birdie wanted to do something special for her sister. This involved getting brother Noah involved and setting up the equipment needed to crush the rocks and see if there was gold in the land.

When Rain came back home, Birdie took her to see what they had done and the youngest Brown sibling was more than overjoyed. When Billy Brown moved his family to Washington, he chose their mountain home to buy because he believed there might be gold there. In the past, several people mined on the mountain and left much of their setup in place.

Billy and Rain believed they could find gold. When Billy died, Rain wanted to move on with their dream. Now, thanks to Birdie and Noah, she has the chance to do so quicker than she might have expected. There was even better news. The family called in a local gold expert to look at what they found.

This was when Rain’s dreams began to come true. The man looked at what they had found in the rocks and revealed it was gold. There is gold on the mountain, and now Rain Brown and her family can start to formulate a plan to find it.

What is next for Rain Brown on Alaskan Bush People?

There is no word on whether Alaskan Bush People will get a new season. However, a current report indicated that the current season ranked higher than 98 percent of the reality TV shows airing today. That means that Discovery Channel would be smart to bring it back.

If the show returns, there are two major stories that could play out in an entertaining fashion. The first is Noah Brown moving his wife and kids back to Alaska. However, the rest of the family has gold to look for and this could help bring something to Alaskan Bush People that will keep it fresh and new in its next season. However, the show will need to bring in some new non-family people, because as Gold Rush shows, it is difficult to mine gold.
