Ep 20. Episode 20

Aussie Gold Hunters season 5 episode 20, titled "Episode 20," follows the latest adventures of four determined gold prospectors in Western Australia. The stakes are high as the season draws to a close, leaving the miners with only a few precious weeks to hit the motherlode and strike it rich.

In this episode, the teams face a variety of challenges as they navigate the rugged terrain and unpredictable weather conditions of the outback. Prospecting partners Ted and Lecky test their luck on a new claim, but face a series of setbacks, including equipment malfunctions and a surprise visit from a local landowner.

Meanwhile, solo prospector Vernon has his sights set on a promising patch of ground, but must contend with fierce competition from his rivals, as well as a troublesome tree that threatens to topple onto his campsite.

Back at the Scrappers' camp, the team is hard at work salvaging scrap metal from abandoned mines and machinery, hoping to turn their finds into a profitable source of income. However, their progress is hampered by a lack of supplies and equipment, as well as a sudden storm that threatens to wash away their hard-earned gains.

Finally, the Dirt Dogs find themselves in a race against time to dredge a season-defining haul of gold from the depths of a river. With their prized dredge machine malfunctioning and the river rising, the team must work quickly and efficiently to extract as much gold as possible before the season ends.

As the episode comes to a close, each of the teams faces the harsh reality that their dreams of striking it rich in the outback are at the mercy of unpredictable weather, equipment failures, and the ever-elusive gold itself. But despite the challenges, the miners remain unyielding in their determination to succeed, driven by the promise of adventure, the rush of discovery, and the chance to strike gold.
