Lost Gold of the Aztecs

Legend has it that five hundred years ago a vast fortune in gold was hidden by the Aztecs somewhere in the American southwest. Now three families are closing in on what they believe is the location of the treasure. Each family following a different set of clues. Will they succeed or will they succumb to the curse that was placed on the gold?

The Dillman Family continue their grandfather's 56-year search by completing the underwater dye test at Shadow Cave, which may reveal more than they bargained for. In Nevada, the Miners bring in a Cave ROV so they can explore past the dangerous mine collapse. Meanwhile the Villescas family makes a new discovery that could be an important clue from an old treasure hunter.

The hunt begins to heat up when the Miners in Nevada use a smoke gun to find another entrance to this dangerous tunnel system. In New Mexico, the Villescas family has to use some crossbow ingenuity to find their way into a sketchy mine. Meanwhile in Utah, the Dillman family break out the excavator to dig up the mysterious marsh, which may have previously revealed an ancient artifact.

After a few hits and misses, the Dillman family seek answers in the mysterious Weeping Cave, where they look underwater for evidence of the Aztecs. The Villescas family build a shaker box to help sift through material at a faster pace in the hunt for signs of the Spanish. And in Nevada the miners bring an expert to look at a very unusual discovery from the mine.

The Villescas family talk with an expert about whether a spur they found could tie to the Conquistadors. The Dillmans use drones to locate an important ancient symbol, which could be a map. To find out, they must rappel down the side of the canyon. And in Nevada, the Miners' search is sidetracked after a potential grave site brings up questions about who else was in their mine before them.

In New Mexico, the Villescas family decide to risk everything by bringing in more heavy machinery and a full crew for one final push to find Conquistador gold. In Nevada, the Miners' years of Aztec research is threatened when the Sheriff's Department launches an investigation into a grave located directly on their treasure site. In Utah, the Dillmans call in a geophysicist to pinpoint underground caves and caverns, leading to one of the largest finds of their family's 56-year hunt.
