A gold rush begins when Shawn Pomrenke offers the fleet access to his virgin claim, rumored to contain millions of dollars in gold.

Emily must step up to save the season when Zeke's custom sluice malfunctions; the Kelly clan moves in too close to Vernon's claim; Mr. Gold races to plug a hole that threatens to devastate his empire.

The flu hits and crews are disabled from dredging while their teams recuperate. teve Pomrenkes makes a fatal mistake that could jeopardize the family's inland ambitions.

Halfway through the ice mining season the teams take a huge gamble by bringing in experimental equipment and ex-employees in efforts to double production. But will the efforts pay off or lose everything?

With only two weeks left in the mining season, the window to mine gold is closing. Zeke's experiment with a double length hose puts his brother in danger. The High Noon's water heater suffers a deadly malfunction and tempers boil on the Wild Ranger.

With only 9 days left in the season, desperation and opportunity start to settle in. A double sluice and lack of divers means that Emily Ridel must face her fear if the Clark is to succeed. Shawn Pomrenke discovers the land sell of a lifetime.

The miners sacrifice their sleep and their safety to push through the last 3 days of the season.

Shawn Pomrenke's master plan is about to pay out.
