Gold Rush in Australia

Mat's machinery is ailing. The hydraulic hoses on one excavator have burst and the chain on the second can no longer be tensioned. The treasure hunter has to improvise Down Under. Because if he doesn't pan for gold, he won't earn any money for spare parts. Meanwhile, Andreas' sons Tobi and Benni get support from Canada. Kyle's family has developed a washing machine that can wash the finest precious metal out of the gravel without any losses. In theory, this is exactly the machine the duo need for their work in Germany.

The car wash is running smoothly again. But that's only half the battle in the hunt for the precious metal. Will the prospecting yield enough fine gold to pay the rental fee for the truck? Mat is under pressure Down Under. And the treasure hunter is thwarted in his work by setbacks. The gearbox of his off-road vehicle is broken. When Mat tries to repair the damage, he has a mishap. He destroys the only suitable spare part. Now the adventurer is in a tight spot. Will Mat know how to help himself in Australia?

Without diesel, nothing gets done in the bush. But then Mat receives the long-awaited news: the fuel truck is already on its way. The gold digger loads all available barrels and tanks onto cars and trailers to transport 6,000 liters over hill and dale to the camp. But the operation is not a sure-fire success, as the rainy season is just around the corner in Australia. As soon as the water rises in the rivers, many roads become impassable. Mat and Andreas try to overcome the obstacles with an eight-wheel drive. Will they get their precious cargo to its destination?

The cleanout gives cause for hope. The prospecting material provides sufficient precious metal. Mat is obviously digging in the right place and the first gold of the new season is smelted into an ingot. But the treasure hunter's fleet of vehicles is still not operational. Mat is faced with a difficult decision in Australia. In order to get off to a good start in the outback, the adventurer would have to take out a loan. The lender would be a former investor. And the collateral would be a nugget that was actually intended as a pension plan.

Marc's arrival at the treasure hunting camp is already delayed by more than five hours. After dark, the gold diggers are seriously worried because the investor is driving his off-road vehicle alone through the Australian bush. A tour like this is risky, as there are plenty of life-threatening dangers lurking in the outback. If the technology breaks down, you are completely on your own away from civilization. Did Marc's car break down in the wilderness? Andreas and Mat's brother Rhien set off in search of the potential backer.

During the rainy season, many roads in Queensland are difficult to pass. Flooding in the rivers poses major problems for residents in remote regions of the state. But in the outback, people help each other. Mat uses four-wheel drive to pull a vet's vehicle through the floods. The gold digger then embarks on a risky boat trip in the outback. And in Germany, Tobi and Benni surprise their father Andreas with a new car wash. The duo want to use the machine to unearth fine gold in the gravel works near Trier.

Mat spruces up his camp after the rainy season. Due to the floods, the adventurer was unable to work on the gold fields for a long time. Now it's high time Mat started earning money again. He sets off with his detector in search of fat nuggets. He needs at least an ounce of precious metal for upcoming repairs. Meanwhile, Andreas is exploring new business options thousands of kilometers away. His buddy Jörg is staking claims in the Canadian wilderness and leasing them out to treasure hunters. Will Andreas get into the business?

Mat is supported at work in Australia by his brother Rhien and his son Rain. But the treasure hunt has to wait. Instead, the men are trying to repair a machine down under. The pump that supplies the camp on the Palmer River with water is broken. Meanwhile, Andreas, Florian and Jörg set off for 60 Mile Creek on the other side of the world. The trio want to find new gold fields there. The adventurers venture deep into the Canadian wilderness in an off-road vehicle, an amphibious vehicle and a truck.
