In the season premiere, Dustin and his loyal crew head deep into the remote Alaskan wilderness on their most ambitious, difficult, and dangerous season ever, as they risk their lives in the raging creeks of Alaska searching for a life-changing pile of gold nuggets.
Dustin disappears after a season-ending injury, leaving the crew to save their skyline with a risky "break it to fix it" plan. The new, but not improved, "deuce sluice" dredge pushes Dustin to the edge, but a win lifts crew morale, reigniting their drive.
On the gold, Dustin's crew inches closer to a monster payday. On a resupply mission to civilization, Wes goes missing after a life-threatening fall from the airboat into the raging 36°F river, and the crew fears the worst.
Mine Boss Dustin Hurt mounts an emergency rescue mission on the deadly Tsirku River. Meanwhile his crippling debts and lack of gold force him to push his exhausted crew to their limit, causing a fight that threatens to end Carlos' time at Nugget Creek.
Dustin and his crew reach their boiling points as exhaustion and the lack of gold at The Wall lead to a world-class fallout. Dustin is forced to take drastic action, calling in help from a controversial source.
After months of hard work Dustin and his crew have nothing but bruises to show for it. Now under the scorching Alaskan sun, Dustin must make an impossible call. Keep going at The Wall or abandon site and start over.
Dustin hits rock bottom as he's forced to abandon The Wall dive site after spending all season digging down a deadly 20 feet. The crew finds a new site they call The Golden Straits, and it's now a race to find a season-saving pile of gold.
Desperate to find gold and save his mining career -- Dustin Hurt is ready to risk the lives of his entire crew by chasing gold at the bottom of a deadly waterfall. But an all-out mutiny changes the course of his season.
A darkness descends on Nugget Creek as mine boss Dustin searches for a Plan B. But his crew may be onto something at their new mine site. After battling bedrock for months, a breakthrough offers them the hope they need.
As winter starts to show its teeth, Dustin and his crew fight to find bedrock and the $100,000 in gold he needs to avoid selling his claims. A burnt-out winch causes rocks to pile up in the dive hole increasing tensions between Dustin and Danielle.
After an airboat disaster, Dustin and his crew are stranded in the wilderness; as supplies start to dwindle, the crew is stretched to their limits as they desperately search for bedrock and enough chunky gold to save their mining future.
Low on fuel and facing failure, Dustin’s crew races against winter to get to the bottom of Nugget Creek. Exhausted and close to breaking point, a monumental find could signal a shift in fortune, saving Nugget Creek and his mining career.
