Armed with a new washplant, Team Turin starts the season on a Colorado mine with big potential. But attention from the local community threatens to shut it down.

Pressure mounts on Jason to locate legendary "main channel" gold. But just as the operation begins firing on all cylinders, Dave faces devastating family news.

Team Turin thinks outside the box to hit it big in honor of Dave's father.

To help boost production, Dave gives gold room operator Jesse Goins the opportunity he's been waiting for, to become a first-time rock truck driver. But all work stops when the crew faces a sudden and unimaginable tragedy.

As the midsummer Colorado heat bears down on the team, Jesse heads to Montana to salvage parts from the old wash plant, and Dave struggles to keep the operation together for another major gold haul.

Dave calls in Freddy Dodge and Juan Ibarra to troubleshoot a faulty hopper. With the Vault Cut running low, a local old-timer points Dave to new gold-rich ground.
