Hoffman Family Gold

Working around the clock to hit their 1,000-ounce goal, tempers flare among the crew. When a rookie mistake shuts down the Holy Roller, Randy and Tater square off about how to get it fixed. Todd must step in to get this mine and his team back on track.

With winter closing in on the mine, Todd rolls the dice and looks for richer paydirt by opening the Lost Cut. The geology looks promising, but opening a new cut this late puts the Hoffmans' season at risk. Tater must keep paydirt running to both plants.

With temperatures plunging and pay dirt freezing, the Hoffmans scramble to make their season goal -- but machines across the mine shut down when water is detected in the fuel supply. The team races to drain and refuel engines across the site.

As winter closes in on the mine, paydirt dwindles and the Black Pearl is down, Todd's 1,000-ounce goal looks out of reach. The Hoffmans gamble by running the Holy Roller day and night. Hunter races to find a new clutch for the Black Pearl.
