About this show

Across America a new breed of urban treasure hunters are making their mark. These profiteers search for precious metals in the most unlikely places hoping to turn junk into gold. The hunt takes them from back alleys to the world of high technology. But competition is fierce with the currently struggling economy that has turned this hobby into a billion dollar industry. It's a high stakes game where one false move could spell disaster. Yet, these melters risk everything to reap their fortune.
