Duane Ollinger’s Utah ranch, Blind Frog Ranch, is once again the stage for a peculiar blend of historical treasure hunting and unsettling local lore. This Wednesday, the search for Aztec gold takes a potentially perilous turn as a Timpanogos tribal elder delivers a stark warning to the team. Could this be the season a curse finally catches up with them?
In “The Curse of the Aztecs,” Ollinger enlists the help of experienced treasure hunter Josh Feldman, hoping for a fresh perspective on locating the elusive gold. Feldman arrives with a new strategy, seemingly undeterred by the ranch’s reputation for strange occurrences. He’s convinced that his approach can finally crack the code and unearth the treasure that has remained hidden for centuries.
But before shovels hit the dirt, the team is confronted by a Timpanogos tribal elder bearing a solemn message. The elder’s warning injects a certain level of unease into the proceedings, hinting at unseen consequences for those who disturb the land. While the precise nature of the potential repercussions remains unspoken, the implication of a supernatural or cultural curse hangs heavy in the air. Will Ollinger and Feldman heed the warning, or will their ambition outweigh the risks?
This latest development adds more potential trouble to the ongoing saga of Blind Frog Ranch. The 160-acre property, with its network of seven underground caves, has long been the subject of local legends. Tales of Aztec riches and lost Mormon mines have fueled speculation for generations, drawing in fortune seekers and adventurers like Ollinger. While previous seasons have offered glimpses of potential discoveries, the ultimate prize has remained tantalizingly out of reach. Feldman’s expertise could be the key to unlocking the ranch’s secrets, but the elder’s warning suggests that success might come at a price.
“The Curse of the Aztecs” is the second episode of “Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch’s” fourth season. It airs Wednesday, November 27, at 22:01 on Discovery.
