Josh Gates heads to the setting of, as he describes it, “the greatest movie ever,” on Expedition Unknown season 16, episode five. The Expedition Unknown host treks to the Oregon coast on a The Goonies-inspired treasure hunt. A discovery on the coast may confirm the truth behind a local legend and offer additional insight into activity along Oregon’s coast 300 years ago.
Season 16, episode five, will air on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 9pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel.
Discovery Channel offers this description of season 16 and of The Goonies-inspired episode:
“World explorer Josh Gates embarks on his most ambitious expeditions to date, cutting through myth and legend to unearth lost artifacts and historic treasures across the globe in an all-new season of Expedition Unknown. Leading viewers on high-stakes and off-the-map investigations, Gates teams up with Gold Rush’s Parker Schnabel to chase a multi-million dollar treasure from an infamous stagecoach heist, plunges into the icy Baltic Sea searching for a lost Nazi submarine, braves crocodile-infested waters in Nicaragua to hunt down Cornelius Vanderbilt’s lost steamship and more.
For the 40th anniversary of The Goonies, Josh Gates heads to the Oregon coast to search for the real-life pirate treasure that inspired his all-time favorite movie. On the rocky shores of the Pacific, he finds pieces of a Spanish galleon that wrecked in 1694.”
