Digging for Answers: The Growing Threat to Japan's Onsen
Hot springs are an integral part of Japanese culture. Since ancient times, people have sought out the soothing waters of onsen hot spring baths for their power to restore the body and mind alike. But in recent years this practice has come increasingly under threat, with rampant exploitation of underground resources causing water levels to fall and temperatures to drop. While businesses are turning to deep drilling technology, it takes more than a hundred years for rainwater to seep down deep enough to create new hot spring sources. We bring you the latest report and talk with an expert about how to prevent these finite supplies from drying up.

Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy & Juan
Freddy Dodge is no stranger when it comes to gold mining. With nearly 40 years of mining under his belt, he's known around the world as the "Gold Guru" and the person struggling mine owners call when they're striking out. Now he's going on the road to help struggling mine owners to hit the motherlode in Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy & Juan. To help him turnaround the operations, Freddy has teamed up with expert mechanic and fellow Gold Rush miner Juan Ibarra. At each location, the mining duo will use their knowledge of geology, prospecting, drilling and testing to get back on the paydirt. But it isn't just running their dirt faster. It's about making the operations better, and more importantly, running cheaper.
