Three teams of hardcore gold prospectors fight the elements in remote Western Australia in pursuit of their dreams.

A high-stakes gamble and mechanical disasters could derail the entire gold season for Dirt Dogs Leon and Vern, and Gold Gypsies Chris and Greg.

As Dirt Dogs Vern and Leon are forced to uproot their operation, Gold Gypsies Chris and Greg face a huge decision, and remote prospectors Henri and Kelli strike salt-lake gold.

Hard rain threatens to drown the season for the `Dirt Dogs' and Kellie and Henri hit a hot streak.

The `Dirt Dogs' fightback comes down to a make or break clean-up, Greg and Chris surf a wave of reef gold, and Henri and Kellie take big risks to stay on a hot streak.

Henri and Kellie face poachers and a dry streak. Also, the `Dirt Dogs' need to break new ground in order to stay in business, while the `Gold Gypsies' search for precious reef gold.
