When a global pandemic shut down the world in March 2020, markets crashed and rocked the U.S. economy.

As another Klondike winter shuts down the Yukon, 25-year-old gold mining prodigy Parker Schnabel is determined to expand his operation and dig year-round. Following his gut instinct and a few solid leads, Parker and his friends will make the 8,000-mile journey to the vast terrains of Australia. The land is home to record-sized nuggets and the largest untapped gold reserves in the world. If Parker can find gold and stake a claim in Australia, it could revolutionize his business, turning a self-made Yukon miner into a global mining operation. 'GOLD RUSH: PARKER'S TRAIL' returns for a fourth season on Friday, March 13 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery.
