Synopsis

In this sixth series of Aussie Gold Hunters, the Poseidon Crew return after their massive $350,000 haul last season and the Dust Devils’ gamble on their most expensive and riskiest mining operation ever, chasing the largest target in the history of Aussie Gold Hunters: 600 ounces, or over AU$1.5 million!  A new detectorist duo launch their hunt in the sub-tropical wilderness of the state of Queensland, while in the Pilbara region of Western Australia new team, The Ferals, face the searing heat of the northern desert.

 Aussie Gold Hunters is an unscripted, character-based factual series, set against the epic backdrop of the remote goldfields of Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland.
