Lost Mines: Restored

Mining claims lying dormant are given a new lease of life in this series, as a pair of tough builders work with cash-strapped claim owners to transform them into thriving operations.

Long-time friends Alex Charvat and Kevin Gilman buy old mining claims – with potentially unfound gold – and flip the properties on these remote pieces of land so that they are once again habitable.

Most of the properties have building restrictions, so these handymen must use their ingenuity to make what is already there usable for those wild men and women looking for their next home in the most isolated parts of America.
