Todd Hoffman, from the TV show Hoffman Family Gold, has been given permission by Discovery to continue with his gold-mining adventures.

Rotten Tomatoes reports that in this upcoming episode, Todd’s team faces a potential transmission problem with their mining equipment, which could have serious consequences for the success of their claim. However, Randy and Tater come up with a creative solution to fix the issue, and it ends up getting their gold production back on track and bringing some much-needed relief to the hard-working team. On another claim owned by Hunter Hoffman, Todd’s eldest son, he decides to take a risk by exploring new areas with potentially richer sources of gold. The teams face various challenges and obstacles as they strive to find enough gold before their limited mining window closes. By the end of a grueling week of work, the Hoffmans gather to weigh their gold findings, hoping for a promising result.
