Narrator:
After two disastrous seasons,
the king of the klondike,

Tony beets, is looking to make
a comeback.

Narrator: Nine weeks
into his season,

Tony's fixed the trommel
and is running

Mega cut pay dirt, which he
believes will deliver his

3,000-ounce season goal,
but he's not stopping there.

Narrator:
400 yards from tony's camp,

The potential new ground is at
the heart of paradise hill.

Narrator: To search

Narrator:
To get to the pay, tony will
have to move a mountain.

When he opened his first cut on
paradise hill 30 years ago,

He had to pile the worthless
overburden

On top of virgin ground.

Since then, he's mined
around the waste side,

Piling 50,000 yards
of overburden,

Enough to fill 15 olympic
swimming pools

On top of what could be
a massive layer

Of gold-rich pay dirt.

Narrator: Tony's looking
for the virgin ground

Indicated by lighter
colored gold-rich gravels

That should be
beneath the overburden.

Narrator:
Tony's hit a pay streak,

But to find out
how much gold it contains,

He must remove
50,000 yards of overburden.

Narrator: If tony's right, this
piggy bank, buried for 30 years,

Could be worth over $1 million.

Monica: Sure do, sure do.

Okay, I will be there shortly.

Hey, what'd you find?

You guys put all this overburden
here, what, 30 years ago?

You don't remember
what it looks like?

Okay. Are you sure
it's gonna pay out?

It cost a bit to
put a d-10 in there

For a couple of days, though.

I know fuel's low right now,
but it still adds up.

All right.

Narrator: Two weeks ago...

Tony gambled
on monica's hunker cut...

...9.92.
-...But struck out.

Now, he's rolling the dice
again.

Moving the overburden

Will cost over $100,000,
and failure will set him back

By at least a week.
With the shortened season,

It's time he can't
afford to lose.

Monica:
We've got a good 30 feet,
maybe 40 feet of overburden

That needs to come off.

Tony seems convinced that
there's going to be a lot

Of pay here, but I don't [bleep]

You know, we got
a pretty late start this season

Because of the whole covid
thing.

Narrator:
Despite losing four weeks
at the start of the season,

25-year-old parker schnabel has
big plans to expand his mining

Empire beyond the yukon.

Even with the late start
we've got this season,

Hopefully we can find
more ground in alaska.

You know, it takes a lot
of money to find more ground.

The gold price
is getting better,

Which is really good.
The best chance that

We've got at finding more ground
is just to, you know,

Take advantage of the high
gold prices, make some money,

And even with a late start
we've gotten this season,

Hopefully we can do that.

Narrator: To build up the war
chest he needs to expand,

Parker split his crew in half
to run two massive wash plants.

Mitch:
How'd you sleep last night
with that rainstorm?

Man, I slept pretty good.
-Made me sleep like a baby.

Hey, let me tell you

The wash plant move is part of

To make up for lost time
by pushing his crew

To move the plants

-What's up, boss?
-Um, yeah.

Last week, mitch and brennan

Move doesn't go the same way.

Shane is gonna move this plant

Rick's crew gathers
for the weekly gold weigh.

Oh, now down to business.

First week gone by with full
crew here.

I'm happy with it.
We did work.

Well this week,
you know together, you know,

We did face some downtime
at the plant.

You know, that's stupid lay-flat
hose, I mean, what a joke.

We're dealing
with a budget here.

But you know as well
as anybody else,

Any kind of downtime
is gonna show up

In the gold pan
at the end the week, right?

-Yes, sir.
-That's mining, so...

No one said it'd be easy.

No. Anyways, should we see
what we're here for?

-Yeah.
-I'm kind of excited about this.

Rick: All right, you guys ready
for this? Let's dump it out.

All right. Come on. Now.
Come on.

Narrator:
Rick needs 34 ounces to hit the
100-ounce minimum royalty

He owes the claim owner.

Karla: 9, 10, 12...

20, 30...

41.
-That's kick-ass.

Karla: 41.30.

Narrator: Worth $72,000,
giving rick enough gold to pay

The royalty, avoid losing his
claim, and going into profit.

-That's unreal.
-That's awesome.

Staying consistent, too.
-That's with downtime, right?

You take that downtime away,

And that's not far off from
where we were last week.

-Yeah, exactly. I like that.
-So that's consistent.

That's consistent.

That means we're in
good ground for once.

Ain't no joke.
There's gold in this ground.

We're over 100 ounces.
-Wow.

That's the other thing,
with this late start,

I made a deal with troy,
and he said

He wanted the minimum royalty
right up front.

So, that's 100 ounces, and...
-There goes our gold.

That's -- that's due
by next week, but we got it.

Our minimum
royalty's out of the way.

-The rest is ours.
-The rest is ours.

Sounds good to me
after a week here.

-Hell yeah.
-Yeah, buddy.

All right.
Get some sleep.

We got a lot more to do.
Eat, sleep, mine.

Eat, sleep, mine.

Parker:
Sorry, I was late.

Narrator: At the end
of a grueling week,

It's time to find out
if parker's new strategy

Of fast and furious
plant moves has paid off.

I heard aaron had quite
the incident down there.

Yeah, he got a little
carried away with some wet pay,

But it's all good.
We got it all sorted out.

Got him back up running.

That move went
pretty good, though,

Really.
-Yeah.

I actually got sluicifer
to run down the hill.

It was kind of cool.
-Did it like slide down?

Oh, yeah,
it was coming quick.

-That's awesome.
-Big red was steady.

We had a lot of run time.
No real issues.

You ready to weigh
up some gold?

-Yes, sir.
-You ready?

Parker:
Let her rip.

Narrator: First up, big red.
With no shutdowns,

It's been running pay
from the last cut

At 220 yards an hour.
-280, 300, 320,

330, 340, 357.05.

Narrator: Worth $625,000 -- big
red's most profitable week ever.

That's a hell of a week.

Well, shane,
you're the hero.

You ready?
-Sure.

Narrator: Between a conveyor jam
and the move to a new cut,

Sluicifer was down
for a whole day.

150, 170, 180, 200,
270, 300, 320.

337.0
-whoo.

Narrator:

-Where we at, chris?

Okay. So for the week,
we got 694 ounces.

-Oh, man.
-Sweet, huh?

For the season,
it puts us at 1,674 ounces.

Narrator: Rocketing gold prices
mean parker's crew has mined

Over $1.2 million worth of gold
in just one week --

That puts us definitely getting
rolling on the right track now.

Thank you guys
for keeping these plants going.

I know it's --
I know it's not easy,

Especially when people stop
thinking for about 30 seconds.

It doesn't even take that long
for [bleep] to hit the fan,

I know, but I appreciate
you guys being patient

With everybody here.
All right. Thanks, guys.

Have a good night.

Narrator:
On the next "gold rush"...

[ thud ]

What the [bleep]

So something
is [bleep] in there.

Man:
We don't have enough people.

We're trying to find somebody
that can help you guys out.

Oh, [bleep]

If we could get this thing up
to 125 yards an hour,

That's a quarter million dollars
a month.

Man: It's a little scary here.
I'm hearing some metal breaking.

Holy [bleep]
