Dave Turin visits the Carolinas to show you America's rarest, most valuable gold. Ingenious everyday miners, a moonshiner looking to cash in on a family's claim, and a gold nomad show Dave that the site of America's first rush is still rich with gold.

Dave Turin shows you the small-time miners bringing in 'gold hard cash' from Montana's hard rock. When a city slicker asks him to assess an old family mine, he goes on a mission and brings cool 21st-century tech to determine its riches.
