PUBLISHED JUL 26, 2018

'Treasure Quest' is back with more adventure, danger, and of course more treasure. This season will feature veteran treasure hunter Shawn Cowles, tech specialist Jeremy Whalen, and demolitions expert Jack Peters who will embark on a journey to Bolivia in the hope to find the biggest treasure in history. The treasure is believed to be the legendary Sacambaya treasure which is supposed to be worth $2 billion. 

However, the search for the priceless treasure will be no easy feat and the participants will have to battle all sorts of difficult weather, dangers of altitude sickness, wild mountain lions, landslides, booby traps, and also blood-sucking vampire bats. The show 'Treasure Quest' will be returning to TV on August 24 at 9 pm on the Discovery Channel. 

Over the last three centuries, many explorers from around the world have tirelessly hunted for the treasure but have not succeeded. The last man alive to have hunted for this fortune is Johnny Irwin who provides the 'Treasure Quest' team with a major lead from his own expedition. After many years of research, he has a new theory of the treasure's whereabouts.
