Jade Fever

Funding her mining season alone and determined to start her hunt for jade a month early, Claudia is forced to re-think her strategy when snow and high water stops the crew in their tracks.

Robin follows a hunch to a new site at an old claim, while Josh's high expectations and short fuse test Gary's patience.

Guy struggles with the excavator to expose a massive find while Josh's dissatisfaction with his position in the crew causes family conflicts to boil over.

The crew faces a dangerous recovery on the banks above the Turnagain River. Guy and Gary continue to stumble over jade at Dynasty while Josh searches around Jade City for his missing dog.

Cutting finally starts on the giant jade lens at Dynasty, but big fractures slice of the lens. The Jade City community is on edge when two trucks roll over on the same stretch of highway.

Downpours threaten the crew's safety and shut down mining at Pit 3. Josh gets a chance to prove himself on the excavator, but a breakdown tests his patience.

When an important jade buyer isn't impressed with the Pit 3 lens, Claudia is forced to make a difficult decision that disappoints her crew.

The race to pack up camp at Wolverine becomes a nightmare when heat, sickness and a forest fire descend on the crew.

The brutal trek to a new mine site separates the family and pushes Josh to his breaking point. Scrappy Larry struggles to keep his extra wide army truck on the steep and narrow road.

Claudia is chomping at the bit to break ground on the new site, but progress is stalled by a series of unlucky incidents at their old mining camp, Wolverine.

Small luxuries in camp cheer up a disgruntled crew, and surprise visitors raise Claudia's hopes for her future at 2 Mile.

Gary and Josh fail to return from a routine fuel run, and drill cores cast doubt over the quality of jade lenses at 2 Mile.

The crew finally hits it big, but with winter descending, Claudia worries that the big find may have come too late.
