El oro de los Hoffman

The first family of gold is back with their biggest gamble yet! Todd Hoffman, his father Jack, and son Hunter tackle a gold-rich Alaskan mine deep with ragged equipment and a rookie crew. They have 7 weeks to find gold before winter freezes them out.

Todd must deliver 300 ounces of gold in just seven weeks. To make it happen, his first step is getting Hot Mess, a massive broken-down wash plant, up and running. Later, Todd goes rogue and opens a new cut behind the mine owner's back.

Desperate to run more paydirt, Todd fires up Big Trommel but the plant is so worn-out, Todd's nicknamed it Hot Mess. The team chases fix after fix to keep the plant running and chase their million-dollar goal.

It's Jack Hoffman's birthday but if they want to reach their season goal there's no time for cake. Todd and his crew must solve why the Big Trommel, aka Hot Mess, is leaking out more than half the gold in the pay dirt.

To hit his million-dollar goal, Todd pushes his team to get a third wash plant delivering gold. As the mine ramps up, the road system needs to be overhauled so they can keep paydirt moving before the deep freeze.

When Alaskan temperatures plunge, Todd and the team are caught by surprise. Their biggest wash plant is frozen and the Hoffman's rush to thaw out their other plants before they're iced out for the season.

Hunter takes on the arctic tundra when a geologist's lead points to crazy gold on the edge of the Hoffman claim. Back at camp, Andy works to turn paydirt from an ancient river channel into a big payoff.

The Hoffmans discover a huge vein of gold that could save their season if they can get it out of the ground in time. As the mine equipment fails, pressure mounts on their mechanic Randy to keep it all running.

With their million-dollar goal in sight, the Hoffmans' best working wash plant breaks down and can't be repaired. Todd's last shot is to get the Hot Mess up and running during an arctic freeze.

As Alaska's brutal winter threatens to end his season, Todd only needs 47 more ounces of gold to reach his million-dollar goal. Todd works the night shift to keep paydirt moving. The final gold weigh might be a big win for Todd or another disaster.
