The show follows the struggles and adventures of a group of modern-day treasure hunters who search for hidden, forgotten or abandoned items across Canada. The cast includes individuals who are experienced in finding forgotten and abandoned items, as well as those who are experts at valuing items that are found.

The show follows the journey of an unlikely team of treasure hunters who use their combined knowledge and expertise to uncover hidden gems around Canada. The Cash Cowboys team consists of Sheldon Smithens, Scott Cozens, and their crew. Sheldon, the self-proclaimed "Metal Detective," is a treasure hunter who uses his knowledge of metal detectors to search for hidden or abandoned metals in the most unpredictable places. Scott is an experienced salesman, and together with Sheldon, they work to sell the treasures they find to interested collectors, museums or other buyers. The show is filled with suspense as the Cash Cowboys team searches for lost treasure in unusual locations and hidden spots.

The show’s dynamic is quite casual, which makes it more appealing to audiences. The show's main cast, Sheldon and Scott, have a great rapport as they search for hidden treasures. They engage in witty banter and jokes, which provides a sense of humor and lightness to the show.

Some of the items that the Cash Cowboys team searches for in the show include vintage bikes, old cars, racing memorabilia, and military items. These items have been lost, abandoned, or forgotten over the years, making their recovery an exciting prospect for collectors and enthusiasts. The show does a great job at showcasing these forgotten items, while also providing insight into their history and meaning.

The show also features other experts who help Sheldon and Scott evaluate and appraise the items they find. These experts evaluate the treasures the Cash Cowboys find to determine their value, authenticity, and significance. One of these experts includes the team's insurance specialist, Mitch Buchannon, who provides advice on how to insure their finds in case of accidents or theft. All these experts add depth to the show and provide viewers with additional information about the treasures discovered.

Cash Cowboys is quite accessible for audiences who are not familiar with the world of treasure hunting. The show does an excellent job of introducing the audience to the different techniques that treasure hunters use and the pros and cons of different methods. The show also provides a behind-the-scenes look at how these treasure hunters evaluate the items they find, and the research required to uncover the items' history.

Another excellent aspect of the show is the wide range of locations that the Cash Cowboys team visits. With Canada being vast, the team gets to explore different areas and uncover hidden treasures from different parts of the country. This adds variety to the show, and it’s always interesting to see what they will uncover next.

Overall, Cash Cowboys is an exciting and engaging show that takes viewers on many adventures.
