Three treasure hunters set out to find the legendary lost gold on Canada’s Dawson Trail – a road littered with history, heartbreak and stories of the Red River Métis. With the help of a Métis Elder they find something buried in Manitoba’s Brokenhead River.

Goldie and Moose discover the fate of the soldier who lost the gold. On the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Memphis learns what’s special about the land they’re searching. Another clue confirms they’re walking in the soldiers’ footsteps.

The team searches Lot 60, right where a few Red River Métis took a stand for their family and community – the beginning of the resistance. Goldie finds a treasure and gives it to a descendant of the lot’s displaced family. Another buried treasure appears.

Searching the headquarters of the Dawson Trail’s construction, the team learns how local Métis were terrorized by the builders. A big find reveals how Métis skill helped create strong foundations for cathedrals.

The team explores a remote section of corduroy road and discovers how tough travel in the 1870s was. When their ATV breaks down, they’re left in a dangerous position.

A local Métis father and daughter shows the team a hidden piece of the Dawson Trail on their property and shares a theory about the gold’s location. Goldie encounters some good luck.

An elderly treasure-seeker shows the team where he found a rare coin from the 1700s. They wade into murky waters along the Dawson Trail to test their luck.

Another legend of stolen gold, pursuit and tragedy arises on the trail. The team gains a new member as they search a promising but tricky spot on the Whitemouth River.

The Whitemouth River and its slippery rocks give the team some trouble. They persist and find a piece of history between the remains of two bridges.

Memphis and Goldie travel a piece of the trail in an authentic Red River cart and an 1800s-way station at a river crossing yields some exciting finds.

The team finds the remains of a bridge with the help of a fellow treasure hunter. They learn the importance of sharing what’s found along the way, and Moose gets an exhilarating ride in a piece of history.

In the Caribou Bog, the team searches for 2 cannons lost by Wolseley’s military expedition and find the most treacherous ground so far.

Memphis and the team return to the Caribou Bog in the dead of winter to resume the search on frozen ground. With the help of Roger and some heavy equipment, they break through the ice to pull out their biggest find yet.
