    During the rainy season there is little to be had at the Palmer River Goldfields in Australia. So Mat and his buddy Andreas Macherey are looking for an alternative prospect.

    The machinery is rusted, the dams need to be strengthened and the big shaker, which is urgently needed to finally win gold on a large scale, is not yet ready for use: Mat and Andreas roll up their sleeves at Palmer River Camp. But during the rainy season, clean-up becomes an exhausting challenge as violent thunderstorms have turned Australia's rivers into raging white-water.

    Tire tracks, burnt brushwood, and deep holes that were hastily filled in: unknown persons have been tampering with the Hodgkinson Goldfields. The area is too far away from the camp to be guarded permanently. With Mat unable to protect the claim from intruders, he has no choice but to sell the claims. Of course, if potential buyers came across gold during the viewing, that would be helpful. That's why the adventurers go in search of the best spots.

    The financial pressure is growing, so the gold diggers urgently need to find investors. But finding investors in this risky business isn't easy. Nevertheless, Andreas manages to get a business partner in South Australia interested in the project. Now the men have to negotiate well.

    The investor's money has arrived in the account. Now the treasure hunters can finally take their business to the next level. Machines, trucks and staff: Mat goes shopping in Queensland and his first big purchases are a Caterpillar and a huge truck. The monster has three axles and six wheels - so the adventurers can transport twice as much soil to the wash plant. But first they have to move the vehicles over 100 kilometres through the outback - and paved roads are rarely found there.

    It's the crowd! Instead of a pan of gold, machines weighing tons are used in treasure hunts these days. Because it can be used to process many cubic meters of soil in just a few hours. That's why Mat and Andreas have acquired a large fleet of vehicles in the Australian outback. And there's more good news: the duo have been granted mining rights! The adventurers can finally search for precious metal at a promising spot. Is there actually a vein of gold there, as the men suspect?

    S4:E1

    Without water, little progress is made on Australia's Palmer River Goldfields. So treasure hunter Mat had to move his wash plant to another location. That cost time and money because there was no income during the move. Fortunately, the gold digger can also rely on his buddy Andreas in this situation. The German adventurer makes his way down under to help his friend. And because Mat's mine is now designed for three workers, Andreas wants to bring his 19-year-old son Tobi with him.

    Tobi was able to follow his father to Northern Queensland after the operation in Germany. And the wash plant works non-stop. That is why the gold diggers are optimistic about the future. But then Tobi sets off into the bush with a detector to look for nuggets there. The 19-year-old loses his bearings in the wilderness. And the next day, the investor announces himself on the phone.

    The investor wants to see gold? Precious metal that Mat does not yet have. That's why the adventurer has only one thing left: he has to improvise! Creative ideas are called for when searching for treasure on the Palmer River Goldfields. And the night before Mark leaves, Mat fires up the furnace. Every ounce, every nugget, every grain of gold that he has unearthed with his German buddy and his son Tobi in the last few weeks is melted and poured into bars. And then comes the moment of truth: is the investor satisfied with the result?

    The Palmer River driveways are flooded. Mat and Andreas cannot do anything there. That's why the adventurers head south. Because a friend of Mat's recently found a giant nugget near Charters Towers. However, a surprise awaits the men at the meeting point: the precious metal comes from a huge cattle farm. And you can't just unpack your gear and prospect for gold on private property because that would be illegal. Therefore, in this case, nothing goes without the permission of the owner.

    S4:E7

    Andreas and his son Tobi have returned Down Under to celebrate Mats' birthday in Longreach. The trip becomes a journey into the past, because in the birthplace of the gold digger, 1500 kilometres south of Cairns, the German adventurer Mat gets to know old buddies from their teenage years. And after the party, it's off to Treasure Hunting. The men in the state of Queensland are not after fat nuggets, but rather relics from Australia's history, such as coins from the 19th century.

    Mat invests in a new business in Australia. The adventurer wants to dig up opals Down Under with his buddy Andreas and his son Tobi. The first search for clues was promising, which is why Mat acquired prospecting rights in the outback. But the plan is risky, because the men cannot rely on metal detectors and proven technology when searching for the precious gems. Treasure hunting requires a good nose and years of experience. Will the beginners learn the hard way or will the company be a success?
