Gold Rush: Parker's Trail

Parker and his team travel to South America in search of a claim to mine with $100 million dollars in gold; following the Incan trail deep into the Peruvian jungle where they battle wildlife and mother nature to find virgin ground.

Parker heads to the Madre De Dios mining district, where he discovers ground so rich he scoops shovels full of gold straight from a riverbank. The team head deep into the jungle with a local tribe to prospect for virgin ground.

Parker prospects La Rinconada mountain, the highest gold mine on earth and a nearly lawless boomtown filled with 60,000 miners. Parker discovers big gold using hand-lit explosives, but a sudden illness threatens to end the trip early.

Parker follows the gold into Bolivia where he hopes to tap into its $2.5 billion gold industry. The crew get a lead on a placer operation but are confronted by the claim’s 32 owners at the gate.

Parker uncovers a fleet of monster 110-ton excavators scooping paydirt from the riverbed deep in the Bolivian jungle. Just when he gets to the gold, two of his team members fall sick.

Parker storms into Bolivia’s gold belt to prospect virgin ground that could hold two million ounces of gold -- right where Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid once roamed.

Parker goes all-in and starts mining the 400-acre Bonanza Creek claim, but a chance encounter with neighboring miners could offer him something even better.

Parker strikes gold in Bolivia at a location that could be the next Klondike. With time running out on his prospect, Parker faces a big decision.
