Season 5

(2014)

Overview

After a million-dollar rookie season, Parker Schnabel re-invests every penny in hopes of doubling his take this season. Todd Hoffman is at square one after hitting rock bottom in the jungle; he's lost his land, his money and his crew. Meanwhile Tony Beets plans to resurrect a floating dredge that hasn't been used in 30 years. Will big risks lead to an even bigger pay out?
