In the icy waters of Nome, Alaska, the quest for gold intensifies as Shawn bets big on his ice operation. With a gold-rich inland claim, Shawn faces the challenge of clearing the ice to avoid becoming mired in the summer mud.
Meanwhile, a scuffle among the crew threatens to derail Vern’s profitable run. Chris also ups the ante with a risky gamble, doubling his gold target. Will their wagers pay off, or will they sink beneath the waves?
As the season draws closer to its conclusion, the pressure mounts for the miners of Nome. With each swing of the pickaxe and turn of the dredge, they strive to strike it rich. Shawn’s strategic gamble on his ice operation could pay dividends, but only if he can successfully deal with the challenges posed by the thawing ice. Vern, on the other hand, faces an unexpected hurdle as a crew fight jeopardizes his lucrative operation.
