Todd's crew races to beat 1,000 ounces and make a profitable final season for Grampa Jack; with a season-ending snowfall in the forecast, the rich pay dirt they need may be in the last place an old-school miner would ever look.

Hoffman Family Gold

The Gold and the Glory

Ice sets in early, threatening to freeze the operation; in a search for unfrozen ground, Andy creates a novel solution, which is digging up the road they built at the start of the season to harvest the gold-rich Lost Cut pay dirt it was built from.

Under-Mined

When the motor in Todd's Black Pearl trommel catches fire, the Hoffman crew attempts to modify the smaller wash plant Jack built decades ago to run more pay dirt. But after Todd orders round-the-clock mining to hit their goal, failures begin to mount.

Jack Knows Best

As pay dirt from the Lost Cut mine runs low, Hunter runs dirt from a promising new location called the Plateau; Framer disappears after heading out on a solo caribou hunt.

Search and Rescue

As the Hoffman crew completes a marathon of government fixes in record time, Todd promises a gold bonus to everyone who completes the season. When Todd hires new miners to get the plant into operation, one greenhorn struggles with the rigors of the job.

Rigors of the Job

When the government orders a list of fixes, Todd's crew questions if they can work with little hope of a gold bonus; frustrations reach a breaking point between Chambo and Andy; for Todd, it comes down to a single gold weigh to keep his crew intact.

Gold on the Line

When state inspectors make a surprise visit to the mine, Todd braces for citations and fines. The Hoffman team races to save their operation before a verdict is set.

Deep Mud, Deeper State

A shift in the weather turns Andy's routine mining decision into a potential disaster when melting ice threatens to contaminate the nearby creek with silt; Todd attempts an engineering solution to help save the mine.

Million-Dollar Mistake

As three generations of the Hoffman Family arrive in Alaska to mine their most promising claim yet, tensions rise as Jack announces his final season. Winter's fast approaching; the Hoffman crew must find a way to triple their yield by mining 3,000 ounces.

Gold Floats

Hunter treks into the tundra to prospect for new paydirt before the Lost Cut runs dry; Todd secretly ships Jack's 1980s-era washplant to Alaska to fulfill his dad's original gold-mining dream, but reassembling heavy steel on-site brings its own surprises.

Jack's Gold Dream

Melting permafrost makes mud out of pay dirt, and Andy devises an engineering long shot to prove the Lost Cut is rich with gold; Todd and his crew dial in the wash plants.

Quarter-Million Dollar Cleanup

Three generations of Hoffman risk the harsh Alaska tundra in an attempt to mine five million dollars in gold; mine boss Todd and his son Hunter rally to devise a plan.
