1
00:00:07,475 --> 00:00:10,476
we're back
at lynx creek
in arizona.
2
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:13,212
We came off
our best season ever
in colorado
3
00:00:13,247 --> 00:00:15,614
'cause we got
over 400 ounces gold.
4
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:17,950
Now we're here for four weeks.
5
00:00:17,985 --> 00:00:21,320
And, I need a little
under 100 ounces
6
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:23,255
To get over
our million-dollar season.
7
00:00:23,290 --> 00:00:25,124
So, I'm excited.
8
00:00:26,594 --> 00:00:28,494
But I need to keep
looking ahead into our future,
9
00:00:28,529 --> 00:00:31,797
And there's only one place
I know we can
really hit it big.
10
00:00:31,832 --> 00:00:33,432
And that place is alaska.
11
00:00:36,337 --> 00:00:38,137
So this gold right here
12
00:00:38,172 --> 00:00:39,605
Is from fox creek.
13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,141
Coarse nuggets. Big nuggets.
14
00:00:42,176 --> 00:00:43,575
That's the big gold.
15
00:00:43,611 --> 00:00:45,677
That's what excites me.
16
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:48,781
But with the gold so high,
ground is hard to find.
17
00:00:48,816 --> 00:00:51,350
Might be gone by the time
I get up there in the spring.
18
00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:52,618
So I need to move fast.
19
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:56,755
My window of opportunity
is going like this.
20
00:00:56,791 --> 00:00:59,491
Winter in alaska will win.
21
00:01:00,027 --> 00:01:01,760
So, I gotta go now.
22
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:25,317
It's great to be back
in arizona
23
00:01:25,352 --> 00:01:27,653
Where we all became a team,
24
00:01:27,688 --> 00:01:30,856
And now we're mining
jesse's cut,
in honor of him.
25
00:01:30,891 --> 00:01:32,257
We know there's good gold
in the ground
26
00:01:32,293 --> 00:01:35,260
And we're basically
going easy street right now.
27
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,768
Jesse's cut is awesome.
Hanging out pretty well,
28
00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:44,837
So we're all happy with it.
29
00:01:44,872 --> 00:01:46,872
we just smashed it
out of the park,
here at lynx creek.
30
00:01:51,779 --> 00:01:55,180
last week, the crew returned to arizona.
31
00:01:55,216 --> 00:01:57,983
-How are you, bro?
- this is where team turin was born.
32
00:01:58,018 --> 00:01:59,251
Right here in lynx creek.
33
00:02:00,054 --> 00:02:01,820
on a five-week mission
34
00:02:01,856 --> 00:02:04,723
To make a $1-million dollar season.
35
00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:07,259
I'm ready to kick its ass
and get the rest
of the gold out.
36
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:10,629
jason and kc secure unrestricted access
37
00:02:10,664 --> 00:02:12,865
To the famed land on lynx creek.
38
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,301
I'm willing to work with you.
Find all the gold you can.
39
00:02:16,337 --> 00:02:18,737
and after searching far and wide...
40
00:02:18,772 --> 00:02:20,305
well, I'll be damned.
41
00:02:20,341 --> 00:02:21,340
Hell of a hand.
42
00:02:21,375 --> 00:02:23,709
...They finally got on the gold.
43
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:26,578
Oh, I love that sound. Boom!
44
00:02:26,614 --> 00:02:28,013
Yeah, buddy.
45
00:02:28,048 --> 00:02:29,214
Whoo!
46
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,750
4.2 in one day, guys.
47
00:02:35,089 --> 00:02:39,358
now, team turin must find over 20 ounces every week
48
00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:41,660
To secure the 100 they need
49
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:43,762
To make their million-dollar goal.
50
00:02:44,932 --> 00:02:47,266
Dave must stay one step ahead
51
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:50,836
To keep his gold hungry crew on good ground.
52
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:56,408
The fains opened up
all of our land
in this valley.
53
00:02:56,443 --> 00:02:58,844
So, we really have the keys
to their kingdom.
54
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,148
We can prospect and mine
anywhere on this ground.
55
00:03:03,184 --> 00:03:04,483
So that's exciting.
56
00:03:06,687 --> 00:03:10,289
dave is sharing the ground with a rock crushing operation,
57
00:03:10,324 --> 00:03:11,790
Who are currently in the process
58
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:14,893
Of stripping out the main channel of lynx creek.
59
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:18,330
well,
these are dozer tracks,
60
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:20,632
And it's a very recent.
61
00:03:20,701 --> 00:03:23,835
There's sand and gravel
operation right next door.
62
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:27,172
So they're in here
trying to get the rock
out of here.
63
00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:29,641
They run this up,
they'll load it in,
64
00:03:29,677 --> 00:03:31,577
Put it in their crusher
and crush it.
65
00:03:31,612 --> 00:03:33,345
But I'm looking for the gold.
66
00:03:37,351 --> 00:03:42,454
gold was first discovered in lynx creek in 1863.
67
00:03:42,489 --> 00:03:47,059
And it soon became the most productive gold bearing stream in arizona,
68
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:54,066
Producing 51,500 ounces over the next 40 years.
69
00:03:54,101 --> 00:03:57,970
Today, worth nearly $98 million dollars.
70
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:02,874
In 1933, the calari,
71
00:04:02,910 --> 00:04:05,911
A 50-foot long three story dredge,
72
00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:11,717
Worked lynx creek until large scale gold mining ended in 1942.
73
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:17,723
Wow, look at that big tree.
74
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,025
Look at this.
75
00:04:22,296 --> 00:04:23,762
You can see this.
76
00:04:23,797 --> 00:04:26,064
That's dredge tailings
right there.
77
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:30,002
This has been
mechanically altered.
78
00:04:30,037 --> 00:04:31,970
But you can see on this side,
79
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:34,473
That's virgin ground.
80
00:04:34,508 --> 00:04:36,275
It's just a river deposit.
81
00:04:37,378 --> 00:04:40,212
There's a distinct line
right through here.
82
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:42,381
So that's what
we're always looking for.
83
00:04:47,688 --> 00:04:49,988
team turin's hunt for gold
84
00:04:50,024 --> 00:04:53,458
Is focused on the tributaries that feed lynx creek.
85
00:04:55,929 --> 00:04:59,865
But dave's discovery is in the main channel of the creek,
86
00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:04,069
An area previously believed to be heavily mined.
87
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:05,804
If his hunch is correct,
88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,508
He may have found a pocket of gold rich virgin ground
89
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:11,343
The old timers missed.
90
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,782
-Come here kc,
check this out.
-All right.
91
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,286
Hand me that pan.
92
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:26,491
This could be big.
93
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,093
Yep.
94
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,709
see, this is
what I'm after.
95
00:05:45,412 --> 00:05:47,479
Seeing good gold show up.
96
00:05:47,514 --> 00:05:50,415
that's damn good.
15 colors *bleep*.
97
00:05:50,451 --> 00:05:52,718
-That's better than
what we're mining.
- right.
98
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:54,353
I think we're
mining right here.
99
00:05:54,388 --> 00:05:56,455
I'm all about it.
That's good gold,
close the plant,
100
00:05:56,490 --> 00:05:57,589
Let's do it.
101
00:05:58,926 --> 00:06:01,426
A lot of people want
to get into gold mining,
102
00:06:01,462 --> 00:06:03,128
But they just want
to jump in a big machine.
103
00:06:04,331 --> 00:06:06,832
But if you can't figure out
how to pan gold,
104
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,700
Can't read the ground,
you're out of business.
105
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:12,604
That's the most critical tool on the site.
106
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,406
All these big fancy machines
107
00:06:14,441 --> 00:06:16,742
And all this equipment gear
don't mean *bleep*
108
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,176
If you can't read the ground.
109
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:20,245
Hey, guys, listen up.
110
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,148
Tomorrow, we're gonna change
from the jesse cut.
111
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:25,650
We're moving down here
next to the rock crusher.
112
00:06:25,686 --> 00:06:30,255
We're digging main channel in lynx creek. I'm getting there now.
113
00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,857
We call this the crusher cut.
114
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,893
10-4. Guess jesse cut
ain't going anywhere.
115
00:06:34,928 --> 00:06:36,128
It's been here
for a hundred years,
116
00:06:36,163 --> 00:06:39,097
It will be here
for a few more days.
117
00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:41,833
So we're gonna get
some better gold, baby.
Hell yeah!
118
00:06:41,869 --> 00:06:43,869
What I like to hear.
119
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,371
I mean, we're just half a mile
to the plant.
120
00:06:47,141 --> 00:06:48,907
So it's a short haul.
121
00:06:48,942 --> 00:06:51,276
Uh, it's been stripped.
122
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:52,911
It's got good gold in it.
123
00:06:52,946 --> 00:06:54,379
So it's actually a good thing.
124
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,917
It is a risk to believe
in something
that we don't know it's good.
125
00:06:58,952 --> 00:07:01,386
But without risk,
there's no reward.
126
00:07:01,422 --> 00:07:04,456
So we got to take
a chance here,
and often it pays off good.
127
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:10,128
Put it in the truck,
take it to the sluice,
main channel lynx creek.
128
00:07:16,804 --> 00:07:18,303
We're off to a good start.
129
00:07:18,305 --> 00:07:19,771
We've got jesse's cut.
130
00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:21,740
We've got the crusher cut,
131
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:23,975
But, we need to get
our million-dollar season.
132
00:07:24,878 --> 00:07:26,645
To start next season.
133
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,614
You know,
I need money in the bank.
134
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,983
Right now, it's a good time
to be a gold miner.
135
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:34,052
Gold prices are going up.
136
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:35,954
But I need to keep
looking ahead into our future.
137
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:39,291
And there's only one place
I know we can
really hit it big.
138
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:40,959
And that place is alaska.
139
00:07:44,364 --> 00:07:46,331
dave has long had his sights set
140
00:07:46,366 --> 00:07:49,434
On the rugged last frontier of the united states.
141
00:07:50,871 --> 00:07:54,806
Why do we come to
the wildest parts
of the planet? To find gold.
142
00:07:55,476 --> 00:07:57,175
And last season,
143
00:07:57,211 --> 00:07:58,944
He discovered super rich ground
144
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:01,313
At the remote nixon fork in alaska.
145
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:03,381
Boom! Yeah.
146
00:08:05,686 --> 00:08:08,620
until the pandemic ruined his plans.
147
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:11,056
I get it.
148
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:12,290
Thanks, blaine.
149
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:15,527
Oh, man!
150
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,333
Alaska is off.
151
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:23,902
Now, I've got to find
a plan b.
152
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:30,842
but now, dave has another lead in the frozen north.
153
00:08:30,878 --> 00:08:33,245
there's a guy
named jay carter
that reached out to me,
154
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,380
Jay is a small time miner.
155
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:39,417
So this gold right here
is from fox creek, alaska.
156
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:43,221
Coarse nuggets. Big nuggets.
157
00:08:43,257 --> 00:08:44,823
That's the big gold.
158
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:46,458
That's what excites me.
159
00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:49,928
He's pulling an ounce
for every 50 yards.
160
00:08:49,963 --> 00:08:51,830
Could you imagine
what we could do?
161
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:56,001
Problem is,
winter's setting in,
temperatures are dropping,
162
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,936
Snow on the ground.
163
00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:01,172
My window of opportunity
is going like this.
164
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:03,875
Winter in alaska will win.
165
00:09:04,444 --> 00:09:06,111
So I gotta go now.
166
00:09:21,295 --> 00:09:23,128
-Hey, dave.
-Morning.
167
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:24,863
Look, things are going well.
168
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:26,932
You've got two cuts open.
169
00:09:26,967 --> 00:09:30,235
But, we got to think
about next season.
170
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,270
And I don't think
it's here, kc.
171
00:09:32,306 --> 00:09:33,438
Hate to say it.
172
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:36,775
I've got an option
to go to alaska
173
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:39,311
And do some prospecting.
174
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:40,946
It looks really good.
175
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:42,547
Bad part is
I'm leaving tonight.
176
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:44,983
Oh, come on.
177
00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:46,851
Damn, boy.
178
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:49,220
Do you have to go now?
179
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:51,122
We're already short-handed.
We need you here.
180
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:52,958
I got a guy.
181
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:55,260
Juan ibarra.
182
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,363
Sweet, that'll
help a lot, dave.
183
00:09:58,398 --> 00:10:00,264
Juan will be here
as quick as he can,
184
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:02,133
But I'm leaving tonight, guys.
185
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:04,269
I've got to find some ground.
186
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:05,937
-Go get our future, man.
-All right.
187
00:10:13,146 --> 00:10:15,347
but before dave leaves...
188
00:10:15,382 --> 00:10:19,618
Plant's up and running
and we're in the crusher cut.
189
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:22,587
...The new ground must start delivering.
190
00:10:24,057 --> 00:10:25,857
oh,
that was a good one.
191
00:10:25,892 --> 00:10:28,393
I like big rocks
and I cannot lie.
192
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:30,895
we got some
main channel stuff
193
00:10:30,931 --> 00:10:32,330
That the dredge
actually missed.
194
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:34,899
I'm pretty tickled right now.
195
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:39,771
Can't believe
it's the first load
of the crusher cut.
196
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,776
The material looks wonderful.
So, odds are in our favor,
197
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:48,313
And you can hardly
ever say that
whenever you are mining.
198
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,719
Holy *bleep*
199
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,126
Shut down, shut it down.
200
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:09,534
All the water
from the wash plant
washed everything out.
201
00:11:09,569 --> 00:11:13,471
And so there's nothing
supporting the side
of the sluice box.
202
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:15,974
We need to put, what I call
riprap in here,
203
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:19,110
Big chunks of concrete
or big rocks.
204
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:27,052
with the goal of mining 100 ounces in arizona...
205
00:11:28,689 --> 00:11:30,555
Just like that.
206
00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:33,024
...Every hour the rotors shut down,
207
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:35,193
The team lose up to half an ounce
208
00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:37,295
Of their four-ounce daily target.
209
00:11:39,099 --> 00:11:41,433
One of the good things
about the sluice box
is design.
210
00:11:41,468 --> 00:11:44,035
It's made so it can
come and park either way.
211
00:11:44,071 --> 00:11:46,237
And the end washed out,
so all we gotta do
212
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:49,574
Is pull it out,
put more rock in
put the sluice box in.
213
00:11:50,711 --> 00:11:51,910
Swinging left!
214
00:11:54,948 --> 00:11:56,915
Hey, kc, we're gonna
go get some riprap.
215
00:11:56,950 --> 00:11:57,982
Okay.
216
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:03,788
Right now, we can't
get enough material
underneath that,
217
00:12:03,824 --> 00:12:06,858
And prevent this
from washing out,
we're gonna have no sluice.
218
00:12:07,527 --> 00:12:09,060
That would be horrible.
219
00:12:14,701 --> 00:12:17,469
Come back, straighten up.
All right, it's good.
Good, good, good.
220
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:18,570
Goin' up.
221
00:12:29,816 --> 00:12:31,116
hours later,
222
00:12:31,151 --> 00:12:34,886
And with 130 tons of solid rock in its foundations...
223
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:38,089
Let's pick up the sluice.
224
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,190
Can I go ahead?
225
00:12:39,226 --> 00:12:42,427
...The sluice box is finally secure.
226
00:12:42,462 --> 00:12:43,862
Down a little bit, jason.
227
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,266
-Good.
-Like a glove.
228
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:49,567
I think we're good.
229
00:12:49,603 --> 00:12:51,069
-All right.
-All right.
230
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:53,438
-Good job, guys.
-Nice job.
231
00:12:53,473 --> 00:12:55,940
It got pretty scary there
for a couple of minutes.
232
00:12:55,976 --> 00:12:57,976
Just about lost a sluice box.
233
00:12:58,011 --> 00:13:00,378
Good recovery,
everybody came together.
234
00:13:00,413 --> 00:13:01,946
That's what this team
is all about.
235
00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:13,291
what they prove to me is they can run this thing,
236
00:13:14,694 --> 00:13:18,329
Which then allows me to go prospecting.
237
00:13:18,365 --> 00:13:20,464
Our future is not here at lynx creek.
238
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,966
I think it's bigger and better.
239
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:26,538
coming up.
240
00:13:26,573 --> 00:13:28,573
I want to get in there
and find some gold.
241
00:13:28,608 --> 00:13:31,543
dave rolls the dice in alaska.
242
00:13:31,578 --> 00:13:34,179
Oh, nope. *bleep*
243
00:13:34,214 --> 00:13:35,814
yeah, she's stuck, dave.
244
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,118
and team turin must take a gamble...
245
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:42,420
We have to make
this decision as a team.
246
00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:43,354
-Let's do it.
-All right.
247
00:13:43,390 --> 00:13:45,223
-All in.
- all in.
248
00:13:45,258 --> 00:13:47,025
...On lynx creek goal.
249
00:13:47,694 --> 00:13:48,993
That ain't looking too bad.
250
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,695
-Let's weigh it up, huh?
-Yeah, man.
251
00:14:09,683 --> 00:14:14,419
3,500 miles north of lynx creek, and on the edge of winter,
252
00:14:15,956 --> 00:14:18,723
Dave turin embarks on a do or die mission
253
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:21,059
To secure team turin's future.
254
00:14:32,305 --> 00:14:33,805
To get the job done,
255
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,709
He's called in, 40-year veteran prospector rob towner.
256
00:15:06,773 --> 00:15:10,842
dave is traveling deep into the frozen alaskan wilderness.
257
00:15:10,877 --> 00:15:13,811
His destination, fox creek,
258
00:15:13,847 --> 00:15:17,649
A remote claim 15 miles from the town of healy,
259
00:15:19,319 --> 00:15:22,654
Where dave and rob meet with claim owner jay carter.
260
00:15:24,257 --> 00:15:25,924
-Jay?
-Hi, dave turin.
261
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:28,559
-What's up, buddy?
-Finally got to meet you.
262
00:15:28,595 --> 00:15:30,828
-How are you doing?
-Good. How are you?
263
00:15:30,864 --> 00:15:32,096
My friend rob towner.
264
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,432
-Hi, rob.
-Hey, jay, nice to meet you.
265
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:37,568
jay has been running a small operation at fox creek
266
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:39,304
For the past four years.
267
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:41,873
I'm a one-man show.
268
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:45,777
I'm running minimal amount
compared to his crew.
269
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:49,180
It would be cool to see
a big operation come in here.
270
00:15:49,215 --> 00:15:52,583
Guys that are counting out
with their families
and team that works together.
271
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:54,585
Better get going,
we're burning daylight.
272
00:15:55,522 --> 00:15:57,322
I want to get in there
and find some gold.
273
00:16:01,561 --> 00:16:03,061
I know dave needs some good land
274
00:16:03,096 --> 00:16:05,330
And I'm going to do my best to try to help him,
275
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:06,998
And I've got quite
a bit of experience,
276
00:16:07,033 --> 00:16:08,466
So does he,
and together we ought to be
277
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:11,602
Able to find a *bleep*
lot of gold.
278
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:16,007
the nine-mile route to the mine is blocked with heavy snow.
279
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:21,879
So, jay must break trail with a 25-ton dozer.
280
00:16:21,915 --> 00:16:25,750
I think without that dozer,
we'd have probably
had a little bit of trouble.
281
00:16:25,785 --> 00:16:28,519
Better than a mule
that the old timers have.
282
00:16:28,555 --> 00:16:30,488
Can you imagine having
to work your way up
283
00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:31,823
Through this kind of stuff?
284
00:16:34,928 --> 00:16:37,895
Over 2,000 feet above sea level,
285
00:16:37,931 --> 00:16:41,299
Fox creek is 98 miles from denali,
286
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,368
North america's highest mountain.
287
00:16:44,804 --> 00:16:46,904
In 1903,
288
00:16:46,940 --> 00:16:52,210
Judge james wickersham attempted to climb its 20,000-foot peak,
289
00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:54,145
But he never made the summit.
290
00:16:54,180 --> 00:16:56,347
Instead, he struck gold,
291
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:00,685
Sparking a stampede of 3,000 prospectors
292
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,854
To the remote region.
293
00:17:02,889 --> 00:17:07,825
Old timers hauled almost eight and a half thousand ounces in three years
294
00:17:08,628 --> 00:17:12,096
Worth over $16 million today.
295
00:17:18,138 --> 00:17:22,040
see, he's moving
about six feet of snow
in that drift.
296
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:26,144
Good grief. We've been
traveling now for hours.
297
00:17:30,316 --> 00:17:32,950
Wow. I didn't expect that.
298
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,719
Little bit of snow.
299
00:17:34,754 --> 00:17:36,821
A little bit of snow?
300
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,628
I feel like the old timers,
that, they're right there
with me,
301
00:17:43,663 --> 00:17:46,731
You know, that we're panning
in the creeks
and in the rivers
302
00:17:46,766 --> 00:17:48,833
In the exact same creek
your panning in and--
303
00:17:48,868 --> 00:17:50,368
No, they didn't get it all.
304
00:17:51,805 --> 00:17:52,937
don't drop that.
305
00:17:52,972 --> 00:17:54,639
yes, sir. I will not.
306
00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:58,209
*bleep* that's nice.
307
00:17:58,244 --> 00:17:59,377
nice gold. *bleep*
308
00:18:00,346 --> 00:18:03,481
-Whoo! That's nice stuff, jay.
-Yikes.
309
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:05,450
How long did it take you
to get this?
310
00:18:05,485 --> 00:18:08,152
I did about nine ounces
in 11 hours.
311
00:18:08,521 --> 00:18:10,488
*bleep*
312
00:18:10,523 --> 00:18:13,658
And that actually was
about the best
I did this year.
313
00:18:13,693 --> 00:18:15,893
You know
how long it's taken him and I
314
00:18:15,929 --> 00:18:17,728
To find places like this?
315
00:18:19,165 --> 00:18:21,399
This is not one or two pans.
316
00:18:21,434 --> 00:18:23,367
This is gonna be a few days.
317
00:18:23,403 --> 00:18:25,536
And I really gotta
do my homework
318
00:18:25,572 --> 00:18:27,572
And make sure that this is
where we need to be.
319
00:18:37,016 --> 00:18:38,950
You know, every once
in a while, you get lucky
320
00:18:38,985 --> 00:18:41,119
And you stumble across
something like this.
321
00:18:42,021 --> 00:18:43,888
at lynx creek,
322
00:18:43,923 --> 00:18:47,725
Team turin nears the end of their first day in the crusher cut,
323
00:18:48,394 --> 00:18:51,496
Mining main channel gold.
324
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,397
the big rocks
that I'm throwing
in this truck
325
00:18:53,433 --> 00:18:56,167
Just put a big ass smile
on my face.
326
00:18:56,202 --> 00:18:58,469
That's what I'm talking about,
brother. Here we go.
327
00:18:58,505 --> 00:18:59,604
Let's do it.
328
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,174
but they're running a skeleton crew
329
00:19:03,209 --> 00:19:06,410
As they await veteran miner juan ibarra's arrival.
330
00:19:07,247 --> 00:19:09,313
we're down
to four guys.
331
00:19:09,349 --> 00:19:12,250
It'll cause a lot more stress,
lot more pressure
on all of us,
332
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:15,253
But we've done it before
and we'll do it again.
333
00:19:15,522 --> 00:19:16,921
Hey, kc.
334
00:19:16,956 --> 00:19:18,823
That material is looking
really good, buddy...
335
00:19:18,858 --> 00:19:22,493
I'm on the main channel, man,
and it's looking real good.
336
00:19:22,529 --> 00:19:23,928
it's awesome.
337
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:25,229
Shutting down.
338
00:19:31,137 --> 00:19:32,570
after a day running,
339
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:36,040
It's time to see what lynx creek main channel gold
340
00:19:36,075 --> 00:19:38,009
Really looks like.
341
00:19:38,044 --> 00:19:40,278
this is
our first cleanup
on the crusher cut.
342
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:44,081
Not looking good, is it?
343
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:50,288
You know, dave and kc
got some damn good pans,
344
00:19:50,323 --> 00:19:53,457
But, it doesn't equate to
what I'm seeing
in the box, that's for sure.
345
00:19:54,661 --> 00:19:56,827
this crusher cut may not be delivering.
346
00:19:56,863 --> 00:19:58,329
We need four ounces a day.
347
00:19:58,364 --> 00:20:02,533
And this right now
is not us achieving
that million-dollar season.
348
00:20:02,569 --> 00:20:04,802
Right now, it looks like we're going backwards.
349
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:15,746
morning. Fox creek.
350
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:18,549
We're standing right here.
351
00:20:18,585 --> 00:20:22,186
I'm dredging the creek
and getting good gold
out of it.
352
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:23,421
has it been mined?
353
00:20:23,456 --> 00:20:27,091
What I could tell
is the lower third has,
354
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:30,895
The upper does not look like
it's been touched to me.
355
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:32,096
I kind of
like this, rob.
356
00:20:32,131 --> 00:20:34,432
'cause this all
looks untouched.
357
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:36,267
Could be some volume
that might work for us.
358
00:20:36,302 --> 00:20:38,569
Yeah, I think that's
where we got to go look.
359
00:20:41,007 --> 00:20:45,109
dave and rob must journey an hour in deep snow to prospect.
360
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:50,915
The target, the banks of a mile-long stretch of fox creek.
361
00:20:57,624 --> 00:21:00,157
- I'm surprised
it's still snowing.
- yeah.
362
00:21:00,727 --> 00:21:02,393
I just can't see.
363
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,696
we're not gonna
let a little bit
of alaskan snow
364
00:21:05,732 --> 00:21:07,198
-Shut us down.
- no.
365
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,573
first stop,
366
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:19,010
This small 40-acre area jay has been working alone.
367
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,446
Check this out
over here, dave.
368
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:27,218
So you can see here, bed rock,
it's like clay.
369
00:21:31,224 --> 00:21:33,524
You think the old timers
were in here digging in?
370
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:35,226
Yeah.
371
00:21:35,261 --> 00:21:37,628
So you could be mining
some of the gold
that they left.
372
00:21:37,664 --> 00:21:39,263
Yeah.
373
00:21:39,299 --> 00:21:42,433
but it's not just gold that jay has unearthed here.
374
00:21:43,736 --> 00:21:45,136
take a look at that.
375
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:47,738
That's so cool.
376
00:21:47,774 --> 00:21:49,173
it's 112 years old.
377
00:21:49,208 --> 00:21:51,642
so think about this.
378
00:21:51,678 --> 00:21:54,078
You've got a dozer
with a ripper.
379
00:21:54,113 --> 00:21:55,546
This is their ripper.
380
00:21:55,581 --> 00:21:58,482
here, I started running
into a lot of sluice boards
381
00:21:58,518 --> 00:22:00,718
That were still laid
on the floor here.
382
00:22:00,753 --> 00:22:02,820
They would be set in like this
383
00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:05,056
-And they're just stuck,
right in--
- so they would go,
384
00:22:05,091 --> 00:22:06,324
-"that's your riffle."
-yup.
385
00:22:07,493 --> 00:22:08,526
Let's think about this.
386
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:11,929
Let's say this is
at the top of their sluice,
387
00:22:11,964 --> 00:22:13,464
-And then--
-I love this.
388
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:14,865
And this is their coarse gold.
389
00:22:14,934 --> 00:22:19,737
Let's say they put this,
at the end of their sluice
390
00:22:19,772 --> 00:22:21,572
And now they're catching
the find gold.
391
00:22:22,608 --> 00:22:25,810
That's what we do.
They had that technology.
392
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:27,978
I love this.
I appreciate it,
393
00:22:28,014 --> 00:22:29,447
What they went through,
394
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:31,949
But me and my guys, we need
a place to mine next year.
395
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:38,155
despite great evidence of historic workings,
396
00:22:38,191 --> 00:22:40,291
Jay's small claim won't sustain
397
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:42,693
An operation the size of dave's.
398
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:47,264
So, to hunt for gold rich virgin ground,
399
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,968
They must push on even deeper into the wilderness.
400
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:53,738
my job is just starting.
401
00:22:53,773 --> 00:22:57,174
I have to prove
that this ground
has gold on it,
402
00:22:57,210 --> 00:22:59,510
And enough gold
to support my guys,
403
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,078
And I feel the pressure.
404
00:23:07,754 --> 00:23:10,955
in lynx creek, after a worrying mat pull,
405
00:23:12,658 --> 00:23:15,092
And with shelly also off site...
406
00:23:15,128 --> 00:23:16,427
The only thing I do know
for sure is
407
00:23:16,462 --> 00:23:17,862
I need four ounces a day
408
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:19,964
If we're going to make
a million-dollar season.
409
00:23:19,999 --> 00:23:22,700
...It's on jason to run the first day's haul
410
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:25,569
From the crusher cut through the gold room.
411
00:23:26,806 --> 00:23:29,807
That's one ounce. *bleep*
that's two ounce.
412
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:32,443
2.25.
413
00:23:35,782 --> 00:23:37,047
That's *bleep*.
414
00:23:38,885 --> 00:23:41,986
This is not what I wanted
to be dealing with,
with three guys.
415
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:44,622
Minimum amount of time,
high expectations
416
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,357
And a lot of pressure
on our shoulders.
417
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:03,073
you know, you never want to deliver a bad cleanup to the crew.
418
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:04,308
It sucks.
419
00:24:05,611 --> 00:24:06,811
Hey, boys.
420
00:24:07,246 --> 00:24:08,245
What's up, guys?
421
00:24:11,150 --> 00:24:14,251
You know,
we need four ounces a day
for 24 days
422
00:24:14,287 --> 00:24:16,687
To be able to make
our million-dollar season.
423
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:21,959
But our cleanup
was 2.25 ounces
from the crusher cut.
424
00:24:23,996 --> 00:24:25,329
That sucks.
425
00:24:25,364 --> 00:24:28,466
We can't afford to be
getting 2.25 ounce cleanups.
426
00:24:29,735 --> 00:24:33,003
We got 4.2 ounces
from jesse's cut.
427
00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:35,773
Do we jump to jesse's cut?
428
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:39,543
Business decision.
You've got to go
with the higher gold.
429
00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:41,412
I think dave will make
the same decision.
430
00:24:42,882 --> 00:24:44,448
The problem is,
431
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:47,017
We're adding
a four-mile round trip,
432
00:24:47,053 --> 00:24:48,719
And we got
to run a water truck.
433
00:24:48,754 --> 00:24:50,087
And we're short-handed.
434
00:24:52,058 --> 00:24:54,859
We have to make
this decision as a team.
435
00:24:54,894 --> 00:24:56,494
Jesse's cut for me.
436
00:24:56,529 --> 00:24:59,096
It's common sense to me,
jesse's cut.
437
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:01,164
You know, I'm all about
common sense, man.
438
00:25:01,167 --> 00:25:03,000
Okay, then we're moving.
439
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:04,034
-Let's do it.
-All right.
440
00:25:04,070 --> 00:25:05,836
-All in.
- all in.
441
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:13,010
it's a big gamble to make this decision without dave here right now.
442
00:25:14,046 --> 00:25:16,080
You know, the pressure just keeps adding up.
443
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:18,315
we're under pressure to find gold.
444
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:21,952
We're under pressure
to keep our families happy
at home.
445
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:25,489
There is a constant pressure
all the time.
446
00:25:25,525 --> 00:25:28,359
anything in life, let alone placid mining
*bleep* gets hard
447
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:31,362
And you just got to keep pushing through the *bleep*.
448
00:25:31,397 --> 00:25:33,731
There's sunshine
on the other side somewhere.
449
00:25:33,766 --> 00:25:36,367
But if you don't keep
pushing and striving,
you're never gonna find it.
450
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:39,103
we had to
make the call on it.
451
00:25:39,138 --> 00:25:42,106
Dave would back us on it.
I mean, *bleep*
we ain't gonna mine dirt.
452
00:25:42,141 --> 00:25:43,908
We're here to mine gold.
453
00:25:43,943 --> 00:25:45,543
Bye-bye, crusher cut.
454
00:25:45,578 --> 00:25:47,478
Hello again, jesse cut.
455
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,725
in fox creek,
456
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:04,061
Under the frigid shadow of denali,
457
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:07,498
And with a cold front approaching,
458
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:09,767
Dave and rob reach the end of the road
459
00:26:09,802 --> 00:26:11,535
On the hunt for virgin ground.
460
00:26:11,571 --> 00:26:12,770
here we are.
461
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,909
temperatures here can drop to a bone chilling 14 below.
462
00:26:22,949 --> 00:26:25,082
so we're
walking up fox creek.
463
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:28,485
I think this creek should
have some good gold in it.
464
00:26:28,521 --> 00:26:31,455
The problem is, I'm not used
to looking at ground
465
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:33,724
Under two foot of snow.
466
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,294
The snow takes away
all of the sharp edges.
467
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:38,862
And those are clues for me.
468
00:26:38,898 --> 00:26:41,732
That's how I can tell
if there's gold here.
469
00:26:45,438 --> 00:26:47,671
maybe we can
cut a profile
along this road
470
00:26:47,707 --> 00:26:49,239
And take a peek at it.
471
00:26:49,275 --> 00:26:52,409
Okay, we'll get a nice
cross cut in there for you.
472
00:26:52,445 --> 00:26:54,645
That way
if I've got a straight up
and down bank,
473
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,314
I could start to see
the different layers.
474
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,794
I'm looking for virgin ground.
475
00:27:10,830 --> 00:27:13,130
Now he's starting
to cut into the bank,
476
00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:16,133
It's starting
to give us an idea
whether it's mined or not.
477
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:29,446
I'm suspicious
this stuff has been
previously washed.
478
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:31,081
Do you think this was mined?
479
00:27:31,117 --> 00:27:35,185
It looks to me,
when you get roots that are
clear to bedrock like this,
480
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:36,887
-It was disturbed.
-Okay.
481
00:27:40,259 --> 00:27:42,926
we're gonna find out
if they did disturb this,
482
00:27:42,962 --> 00:27:44,495
Did they leave any gold?
483
00:27:47,099 --> 00:27:48,866
I gotta keep up.
484
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:50,501
I told you
he's like a hound dog.
485
00:27:50,536 --> 00:27:51,769
He's on the scent.
486
00:27:56,609 --> 00:27:58,175
Pan's freezing up.
487
00:28:01,714 --> 00:28:06,083
I need to see at least
10, 15 colors, good size,
488
00:28:06,118 --> 00:28:08,452
And then we'll do
a bulk sample.
489
00:28:08,487 --> 00:28:11,188
Here's one piece there
that's just a little...
490
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:15,893
What that proved is
somebody mined it.
491
00:28:15,928 --> 00:28:17,795
It's no good. *bleep*.
Let's move on.
492
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:22,833
Hey, rob, what do you think
about right next
493
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:25,436
To that spruce tree
on the right side?
494
00:28:25,471 --> 00:28:26,804
let's give it a go.
495
00:28:28,174 --> 00:28:29,873
good. Come on up, jay.
496
00:28:38,551 --> 00:28:40,951
We are running out of time,
with the snow coming in.
497
00:28:43,589 --> 00:28:46,890
as a winter storm front closes in from the west,
498
00:28:46,926 --> 00:28:50,728
Jay must work fast before a blizzard sucks in the claim.
499
00:29:04,076 --> 00:29:05,843
*bleep*
500
00:29:17,389 --> 00:29:18,789
Holy *bleep*
501
00:29:26,866 --> 00:29:30,100
-*bleep*
-I don't know, jay.
502
00:29:30,136 --> 00:29:32,136
*bleep* pretty buried.
503
00:29:32,171 --> 00:29:33,771
Yeah, she's stuck, dave.
504
00:29:35,474 --> 00:29:39,209
We're gonna have to
get an excavator
or something in here.
505
00:29:39,245 --> 00:29:41,378
Well, we're running
out of time if you want
to give your buddy a call.
506
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:43,080
-Yeah,
we'll go get a hold of him.
-All right.
507
00:29:46,786 --> 00:29:49,086
It's annoying. I mean,
I'm not finding any gold.
508
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:50,487
We got a dozer stuck.
509
00:29:51,524 --> 00:29:54,491
This snow is really
causing problems for us.
510
00:29:54,527 --> 00:29:57,594
Not only mining, but if
it keeps snowing like this,
511
00:29:57,630 --> 00:29:59,062
We gotta get
our ass out of here.
512
00:29:59,098 --> 00:30:00,531
I may not have a tomorrow.
513
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:02,733
You got a copy, paul?
514
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,609
not looking good.
*bleep*
515
00:30:22,888 --> 00:30:24,321
at lynx creek...
516
00:30:26,125 --> 00:30:28,625
it's tough
without dave here, I'm gonna
tell you that right now.
517
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:29,793
I'm stressed.
518
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:33,564
...With no word from juan ibarra,
519
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:36,867
The four-men team turn,
520
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:40,103
Push their limits to run pay from the jesse cut.
521
00:30:41,974 --> 00:30:46,243
But the four mile round trip is double their longest haul all season,
522
00:30:49,982 --> 00:30:52,883
the last thing
we want to do
is upset the land owner.
523
00:30:54,453 --> 00:30:58,255
If we don't water the road,
we are done.
524
00:30:58,290 --> 00:31:00,858
We've got a million-dollar
season to make.
525
00:31:00,893 --> 00:31:03,293
We can't let dust
shut us down.
526
00:31:03,329 --> 00:31:06,163
with team leader jason running the water truck,
527
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:11,235
Kc must work double duty to keep the plant in pay.
528
00:31:12,171 --> 00:31:13,871
I gotta load this truck.
529
00:31:13,906 --> 00:31:17,040
Slowly driving back
down there,
deliver it to the plant.
530
00:31:17,776 --> 00:31:18,976
Keep it all going.
531
00:31:20,446 --> 00:31:21,945
We're a small mining team.
532
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,448
We don't have
like 40 employees.
533
00:31:24,483 --> 00:31:26,583
So we all have
to be universal.
534
00:31:26,619 --> 00:31:28,986
I'll jump from machine to machine where I'm needed.
535
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:30,354
Don't care what it takes.
536
00:31:31,857 --> 00:31:33,924
Just trying to get
the damn job done,
537
00:31:33,959 --> 00:31:35,459
Get some gold in our pockets.
538
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:39,529
Kind of all scattered *bleep*
right now.
539
00:31:42,668 --> 00:31:45,569
you know, the *bleep* thing is, I've got all the pressure,
540
00:31:45,638 --> 00:31:47,271
All the guys looking at me.
541
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:52,776
This is as real as it gets.
542
00:31:52,811 --> 00:31:54,645
You don't get any more stressed than this.
543
00:32:09,395 --> 00:32:10,827
Yeah, you got a copy, paul?
544
00:32:12,665 --> 00:32:14,131
We got the dozer stuck.
545
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:16,266
We're a little nervous,
a little worried.
546
00:32:17,002 --> 00:32:18,602
at fox creek...
547
00:32:19,371 --> 00:32:21,071
yeah, I copy.
548
00:32:21,106 --> 00:32:25,175
all right, old buddy.
Bring that 150 in here.
549
00:32:25,210 --> 00:32:27,978
...Nine miles from the nearest good road,
550
00:32:28,013 --> 00:32:31,281
Dave, rob and jay are stranded.
551
00:32:31,317 --> 00:32:34,718
Their hunt for gold hangs in the balance.
552
00:32:36,689 --> 00:32:39,222
Well, he's coming
but it's gonna be a bit.
553
00:32:43,896 --> 00:32:45,562
not looking
real good right now.
554
00:32:58,610 --> 00:32:59,776
Look over there.
555
00:33:01,914 --> 00:33:03,714
Yeah!
556
00:33:03,749 --> 00:33:06,483
all right,
I'm coming in.
557
00:33:06,518 --> 00:33:11,254
local miner paul nyberg answers the call in his 150 excavator.
558
00:33:12,458 --> 00:33:13,957
about time.
559
00:33:17,396 --> 00:33:19,329
Could you reach over here
and pull some out?
560
00:33:19,365 --> 00:33:20,731
Yeah, I will dig out
on the side.
561
00:33:20,766 --> 00:33:22,399
Yeah, we will get out
of your way.
562
00:33:30,275 --> 00:33:31,508
You want it on the hook?
563
00:33:31,543 --> 00:33:33,076
Yeah, right on top
of the bucket.
564
00:33:35,614 --> 00:33:38,115
Take your time.
We don't have time.
565
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:40,050
We need to get this thing out.
566
00:33:40,085 --> 00:33:41,451
Find some gold.
567
00:33:42,955 --> 00:33:44,254
Try to pull.
568
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,793
Looks good. Looks good.
569
00:33:54,199 --> 00:33:55,732
There we go. She's out.
570
00:34:00,739 --> 00:34:02,606
- thanks, paul.
-Anytime.
571
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:05,142
dozer free,
572
00:34:05,177 --> 00:34:08,945
Dave has a few precious hours left to decode the land
573
00:34:08,981 --> 00:34:11,782
And find virgin ground at fox creek.
574
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:16,286
before you leave,
will you dig a couple
of holes for us?
575
00:34:16,321 --> 00:34:17,721
yeah, show me where.
576
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:27,164
Somewhere between here
and where it drains down.
577
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,367
They... It's a different
makeup composition.
578
00:34:31,403 --> 00:34:34,271
You can see
the different contours.
579
00:34:36,708 --> 00:34:37,974
hey, paul.
580
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:40,410
I think you can kick the creek
over there.
581
00:34:41,947 --> 00:34:46,049
one last shot at locating the old creek beneath the snow.
582
00:34:47,453 --> 00:34:52,489
The excavator punches a hole straight down to bedrock.
583
00:34:52,524 --> 00:34:57,160
Dave can only hope it reveals ancient gold-bearing river gravels.
584
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:01,465
What is that?
585
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:02,966
that's what
you want to hear.
586
00:35:03,035 --> 00:35:04,601
Yeah, I am hearing rocks.
587
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:16,613
those are great.
Those are awesome.
588
00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:19,816
We got some sand and gravel.
So this should be good.
589
00:35:20,686 --> 00:35:23,153
Hopefully we find
some big gold.
590
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:35,999
Looking good. I mean,
we're... Real red dirt.
591
00:35:36,034 --> 00:35:38,101
We're down
into some virgin ground.
592
00:35:42,207 --> 00:35:43,673
There we go.
Look at, look at...
593
00:35:43,709 --> 00:35:45,041
There we go.
There we go.
594
00:35:45,077 --> 00:35:47,410
- now we're talking
about the gold.
- it's a big one!
595
00:35:51,183 --> 00:35:53,917
-Oh, that's better.
-Yep, better.
596
00:35:53,952 --> 00:35:55,318
come on, hound dog.
597
00:35:55,354 --> 00:35:59,156
- it's coming out.
598
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:04,895
You know, if we can get
some pieces like that, dave,
599
00:36:04,930 --> 00:36:06,596
You're in the money.
You will kick ass--
600
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:08,932
And then you got five, six
other little colors
601
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:11,668
That you're going to catch.
And that all adds up.
602
00:36:11,703 --> 00:36:12,736
yeah.
603
00:36:15,073 --> 00:36:16,740
I want to do
a bulk sample.
604
00:36:19,178 --> 00:36:22,279
Best thing
that can happen tomorrow
is we find a lot of gold.
605
00:36:22,314 --> 00:36:26,416
I'd love to see the answer to our season for next year.
606
00:36:37,663 --> 00:36:41,531
3,500 miles south, in lynx creek...
607
00:36:41,567 --> 00:36:43,600
Come on,
let's get a move on, buddy.
608
00:36:46,905 --> 00:36:50,407
...Team turin is on day two of mining the jesse cut
609
00:36:50,442 --> 00:36:52,642
With a bare bones crew.
610
00:36:52,678 --> 00:36:54,811
not gonna lie. I'm feeling the pressure right now.
611
00:36:54,846 --> 00:36:57,147
Time is of the essence
with this type of mining.
612
00:36:58,183 --> 00:36:59,583
We just need help.
613
00:37:04,056 --> 00:37:07,257
but backup is finally on its way.
614
00:37:09,494 --> 00:37:11,828
-Hey, it's juan.
-Sweet.
615
00:37:15,100 --> 00:37:17,767
I know dave and his guys
have had a hard season.
616
00:37:17,803 --> 00:37:19,869
Dave lost his father,
and then on top of that
617
00:37:19,905 --> 00:37:21,871
They lost one
of their teammates, jesse.
618
00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:25,108
So if there's something
that I can do to help
these guys out,
619
00:37:25,143 --> 00:37:28,144
Whatever they need me to do,
I'm here to do it.
620
00:37:28,180 --> 00:37:31,047
Heck, if they need me
to make sandwiches for lunch,
I can do that, too.
621
00:37:43,328 --> 00:37:45,762
yes, juan,
I'm so glad you're here.
622
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:47,464
-What's going on guys?
-Great timing, man.
623
00:37:47,499 --> 00:37:49,299
-What's going on, bud?
-Great timing.
624
00:37:49,334 --> 00:37:51,067
Whatever you guys
need me to do,
I'm here to help.
625
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:53,470
We got about
a four-mile round trip
and it's really dusty.
626
00:37:53,505 --> 00:37:55,772
Yeah. So if you could jump
in the water truck, juan,
627
00:37:55,807 --> 00:37:57,574
And maybe help get
some loads down right away
628
00:37:57,609 --> 00:38:00,110
-So we can get to haul and--
-yeah, not a problem.
629
00:38:00,145 --> 00:38:01,278
Appreciate that, juan.
630
00:38:01,313 --> 00:38:03,280
-All right, guys,
let's get to work.
-Thank you.
631
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:13,323
it's such a long haul
from where the pay is
to the plant.
632
00:38:13,358 --> 00:38:15,091
It's a full time job
in this water truck.
633
00:38:19,398 --> 00:38:20,530
whoo!
634
00:38:21,933 --> 00:38:24,067
Glad he showed up because we really needed the help.
635
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:27,637
This is a great group of guys.
636
00:38:27,673 --> 00:38:30,507
We're a family now.
We're working our asses off.
637
00:38:31,743 --> 00:38:34,244
But basically we've been through hell and back.
638
00:38:34,279 --> 00:38:36,079
Let's hope lynx creek pays out good.
639
00:38:38,083 --> 00:38:39,582
it's hard being a small crew.
640
00:38:39,618 --> 00:38:41,384
But you know what? We're on track now.
641
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:42,952
So now it's time
to get the gold
642
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:45,989
For my family
and for their families.
643
00:38:46,024 --> 00:38:49,259
Thank god juan was able
to come on up
to help us out.
644
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:52,262
Needed somebody.
645
00:38:52,297 --> 00:38:55,365
We didn't just get somebody,
we got one *bleep* bear.
646
00:39:04,476 --> 00:39:05,608
all right.
647
00:39:06,144 --> 00:39:07,444
Thanks, jay.
648
00:39:09,014 --> 00:39:12,482
-Caribou stew.
-It's caribou stew
and homemade corn bread.
649
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:13,783
Mm.
650
00:39:13,819 --> 00:39:15,552
Wow, that is good.
651
00:39:15,587 --> 00:39:16,886
Really good.
652
00:39:17,489 --> 00:39:18,621
Oh, boy.
653
00:39:19,658 --> 00:39:22,158
For me,
you know, mining's family,
654
00:39:22,194 --> 00:39:24,461
But you know
what's the coolest thing
for me this year?
655
00:39:24,496 --> 00:39:26,229
It's I got to work
with my grandson.
656
00:39:26,732 --> 00:39:29,232
42.1.
657
00:39:29,267 --> 00:39:31,034
-all right.
658
00:39:31,069 --> 00:39:33,403
-Good job, micaiah.
-Yeah!
659
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:34,938
Partner.
660
00:39:34,973 --> 00:39:36,473
It's nice having
this guy here.
661
00:39:36,508 --> 00:39:38,908
-He's helped out a lot.
-Thank you.
662
00:39:38,944 --> 00:39:41,177
-Thanks for
being here, micaiah.
-Welcome.
663
00:39:41,213 --> 00:39:44,881
He absolutely loved
every part of mining.
664
00:39:44,916 --> 00:39:47,417
And those are
our next generation miners.
665
00:39:47,452 --> 00:39:49,686
We need to pass it on.
What we do,
666
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:52,489
It's hard work, but I love it.
667
00:39:52,524 --> 00:39:53,757
It's a good way of life.
668
00:39:53,792 --> 00:39:55,024
It's a great way of life.
669
00:40:05,036 --> 00:40:06,436
six days ago,
670
00:40:06,471 --> 00:40:10,840
Team turin made moves ontheir million-dollar season...
671
00:40:10,876 --> 00:40:14,444
Okay, boys, first load
of the crusher cut.
Here it comes.
672
00:40:14,479 --> 00:40:17,147
I love it. I love it.
I love it.
673
00:40:17,182 --> 00:40:21,851
...While dave headed north to alaska in search of their future.
674
00:40:21,887 --> 00:40:23,953
I want to get in there
and find some gold.
675
00:40:23,989 --> 00:40:25,355
in arizona,
676
00:40:25,390 --> 00:40:27,157
Bad gold...
677
00:40:27,192 --> 00:40:31,961
one ounce,
two ounce, 2.25.
678
00:40:31,997 --> 00:40:33,763
That's *bleep*.
679
00:40:33,799 --> 00:40:36,266
...Forced to return to the jesse cut.
680
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:39,135
we're on track now.
So now it's time
to make some money.
681
00:40:39,171 --> 00:40:40,603
and in the frozen north...
682
00:40:42,741 --> 00:40:44,374
Oh *bleep*.
683
00:40:44,409 --> 00:40:47,377
dave finally found gold.
684
00:40:47,412 --> 00:40:49,612
-Oh, that's better.
-Yep, better.
685
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,393
this is
our little highbanker.
686
00:41:03,428 --> 00:41:05,595
We'll set this up
and run a yard of material.
687
00:41:05,630 --> 00:41:06,996
This will be our bulk test.
688
00:41:09,167 --> 00:41:12,001
now, with a storm closing in,
689
00:41:12,037 --> 00:41:15,705
Dave must quickly determine if the last mine at fox creek
690
00:41:15,740 --> 00:41:17,941
Is rich enough for his operation.
691
00:41:20,278 --> 00:41:24,547
Nothing like sluicing
in the dead of winter.
Everything's frozen.
692
00:41:24,583 --> 00:41:26,282
Give me some water, rob.
693
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:27,917
All right.
694
00:41:29,221 --> 00:41:30,753
Come on, baby.
695
00:41:30,789 --> 00:41:32,021
Oh, no.
696
00:41:36,795 --> 00:41:38,428
There we go, water.
697
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:42,966
Problem I'm having is
if you look in here,
698
00:41:43,034 --> 00:41:44,801
It's already starting
to ice up.
699
00:41:45,604 --> 00:41:47,570
I'm afraid if this slush...
700
00:41:48,273 --> 00:41:50,773
Blocks up my sluices...
701
00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:54,010
I'm not going to get gold
because it's icing up on me.
702
00:41:56,114 --> 00:41:59,782
they must run a yard of dirtthrough the frozen highbanker.
703
00:42:01,319 --> 00:42:03,786
Well rob, alaska gold, buddy.
704
00:42:03,822 --> 00:42:05,154
Here we are.
705
00:42:09,594 --> 00:42:11,427
This looks like
pretty good pay.
706
00:42:11,463 --> 00:42:15,031
we need
about 50,000 to 100,000 yards
of this stuff
707
00:42:15,066 --> 00:42:17,033
To make it
a commercial good mine.
708
00:42:17,068 --> 00:42:18,635
We're gonna see some gold.
709
00:42:19,137 --> 00:42:20,870
I hope it's enough.
710
00:42:20,906 --> 00:42:22,505
This is our last chance.
711
00:42:23,275 --> 00:42:24,707
Last of the dirt.
712
00:42:26,711 --> 00:42:29,879
Hey, rob, come here,
found a piece of gold
in the sluice.
713
00:42:30,782 --> 00:42:31,981
*bleep* yeah.
714
00:42:32,884 --> 00:42:34,484
-It's pretty good.
-Good sign.
715
00:42:35,287 --> 00:42:36,853
This is gonna look good.
716
00:42:39,791 --> 00:42:43,526
while jay processes the concentrate in his cabin,
717
00:42:43,562 --> 00:42:46,596
Dave and rob run the numbers.
718
00:42:46,631 --> 00:42:50,567
If startup costs
over 100-- $150,000...
719
00:42:50,602 --> 00:42:51,734
Yeah.
720
00:42:51,770 --> 00:42:53,970
Maybe 200 by the time you get
your camp in here, right?
721
00:42:54,005 --> 00:42:56,806
Yeah. Looking at 100 ounces
just to get here.
722
00:42:56,841 --> 00:42:59,375
So gram of gold's worth
about 60 bucks, right?
723
00:42:59,411 --> 00:43:00,376
Yep.
724
00:43:00,412 --> 00:43:02,245
We ran a yard.
725
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,481
I think we need
to see a gram of gold.
726
00:43:05,517 --> 00:43:07,550
That'll be about
60 bucks a yard.
727
00:43:17,629 --> 00:43:18,895
What do you got?
728
00:43:21,666 --> 00:43:23,967
Oh, *bleep* that's it?
729
00:43:24,002 --> 00:43:26,502
probably about
$20 a yard in there.
730
00:43:28,273 --> 00:43:30,039
For me, it doesn't work here
731
00:43:30,075 --> 00:43:34,744
Because all the setup costs,
transportation, fuel.
732
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,780
It's remote, for sure.
733
00:43:38,683 --> 00:43:40,350
Well, jay,
it's been a great trip.
734
00:43:40,385 --> 00:43:41,584
It's an honor to meet you.
735
00:43:41,620 --> 00:43:44,754
I respect you and respect
what you do up here.
736
00:43:44,789 --> 00:43:48,524
Um, but I got to keep looking.
737
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,660
-I appreciate it.
-It's been a hell
of a trip, man.
738
00:43:50,695 --> 00:43:52,562
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
739
00:43:52,597 --> 00:43:54,931
-All right, thanks again. Jay.
-Thank you, man.
740
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:56,032
See you.
741
00:43:59,571 --> 00:44:01,638
- my guys
are gonna be pissed.
- yeah.
742
00:44:01,673 --> 00:44:03,306
Now, I gotta answer to them.
743
00:44:05,377 --> 00:44:08,277
- damn it.
- well, back
to the drawing board.
744
00:44:09,180 --> 00:44:10,613
This is so disappointing.
745
00:44:10,649 --> 00:44:12,181
I really want to be in alaska.
746
00:44:12,217 --> 00:44:15,318
I thought this was our future,
but it's not here.
747
00:44:28,266 --> 00:44:31,000
All right, time to go see
exactly how much we got here.
748
00:44:31,036 --> 00:44:33,569
Pretty excited to see
what jesse's cut has done.
749
00:44:33,605 --> 00:44:35,972
lynx creek, the gold room.
750
00:44:37,308 --> 00:44:40,276
With just four weeks left to hit the 100 ounces
751
00:44:40,311 --> 00:44:42,545
They need for their million-dollar season,
752
00:44:43,114 --> 00:44:44,814
Every ounce counts.
753
00:44:46,151 --> 00:44:47,383
Hey, guys.
754
00:44:47,385 --> 00:44:48,718
-What's up?
-What's up, juan?
755
00:44:52,624 --> 00:44:54,557
Let it cool off for a second.
We'll see what it weighs.
756
00:44:54,592 --> 00:44:56,459
What's up, juan?
757
00:44:56,494 --> 00:44:58,227
Well, that ain't
looking too bad.
758
00:44:58,263 --> 00:45:00,863
Before you and dave
found that crusher cut,
759
00:45:00,899 --> 00:45:03,633
We did 4.2 ounces
out of jesse's cut.
760
00:45:03,668 --> 00:45:07,437
So hopefully,
we got four ounces
a day in there.
761
00:45:07,472 --> 00:45:11,474
I do have to say we took
one hell of a gamble
going back to jesse's cut.
762
00:45:11,509 --> 00:45:13,276
to stay on target,
763
00:45:13,311 --> 00:45:16,979
The team needs to see at least 20 ounces this week.
764
00:45:18,016 --> 00:45:19,315
Let's weigh up, huh?
765
00:45:19,350 --> 00:45:20,950
Yeah, man, you got this one.
766
00:45:22,353 --> 00:45:28,558
-1.5, two, three, four...
-That's one day.
767
00:45:28,593 --> 00:45:31,427
-Five, six, seven...
-Yeah. Yeah.
768
00:45:31,463 --> 00:45:33,463
-Eight.
-That's two days.
769
00:45:33,498 --> 00:45:37,533
11, 12, 13...
770
00:45:38,136 --> 00:45:39,602
14.15.
771
00:45:41,806 --> 00:45:44,741
14.15 plus a 2.25.
772
00:45:44,776 --> 00:45:47,510
That makes it a total
of 16.4 for the week.
773
00:45:47,545 --> 00:45:48,945
-So, we're not on track.
-No.
774
00:45:48,980 --> 00:45:52,148
That's basically
four ounces short
of what we needed that week.
775
00:45:52,183 --> 00:45:54,083
Guys, we need
20 ounces a week.
776
00:45:54,119 --> 00:45:56,152
-So that burden
is gonna fall on you, kc.
-Yeah.
777
00:45:56,187 --> 00:45:58,921
We need to get about 25 ounces
to get caught up next week.
778
00:45:58,957 --> 00:46:00,957
This is your backyard.
779
00:46:00,992 --> 00:46:03,259
It's time for you
to shine, kc.
Go find it, brother.
780
00:46:03,294 --> 00:46:04,327
There's a lot of gold here.
781
00:46:04,362 --> 00:46:05,928
We found it before,
we'll find it again.
782
00:46:06,297 --> 00:46:07,463
All in.
783
00:46:07,499 --> 00:46:09,298
-Let's do it.
-One, two, three.
784
00:46:09,334 --> 00:46:11,300
all in.
785
00:46:11,336 --> 00:46:13,736
gold in jesse cut paid out, but we're still short.
786
00:46:13,772 --> 00:46:17,173
I gotta get out,
chase after all that gold
and put it in the box.
787
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:19,475
that's one thing about this scene, man. We don't quit.
788
00:46:19,511 --> 00:46:21,644
None of us have quit
in our dna.
789
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:23,780
So we're right back
at it tomorrow.
790
00:46:23,815 --> 00:46:25,414
we're a bunch of grown ass men.
791
00:46:25,450 --> 00:46:27,016
We know how to put our boots on the top.
792
00:46:27,051 --> 00:46:28,551
Now it's time to make
some serious money.
793
00:46:40,031 --> 00:46:41,597
in the frozen north,
794
00:46:44,202 --> 00:46:46,836
Dave and rob return from the bush...
795
00:46:47,705 --> 00:46:48,905
thanks for the ride.
796
00:46:48,940 --> 00:46:50,940
...Dreams dashed.
797
00:46:53,878 --> 00:46:56,112
Dave, I've always got
my eye looking for properties.
798
00:46:56,147 --> 00:46:58,314
Been working on getting
this ranch up in montana
799
00:46:58,349 --> 00:47:00,283
That has extensive
gold mining on it.
800
00:47:00,885 --> 00:47:02,151
It looks fantastic.
801
00:47:02,187 --> 00:47:04,020
You think we could
get out there
and prospect it?
802
00:47:04,055 --> 00:47:05,555
I think
we should give it a go.
803
00:47:05,590 --> 00:47:06,856
-Make a call.
-Yeah.
804
00:47:06,891 --> 00:47:08,357
I'll change my plans.
805
00:47:08,393 --> 00:47:09,525
-Let's do it.
-Okay.
806
00:47:09,561 --> 00:47:10,693
-Let's get it.
-All right.
807
00:47:11,930 --> 00:47:14,130
it was a big gamble.
808
00:47:14,165 --> 00:47:16,299
We are in too deep right now to quit.
809
00:47:16,334 --> 00:47:17,700
We won't quit.
810
00:47:17,735 --> 00:47:19,936
I got to let those guys
go make--
811
00:47:19,971 --> 00:47:23,072
You know, make the decision,
find some gold
there in arizona,
812
00:47:23,107 --> 00:47:24,974
But for me,
I got to keep looking.
813
00:47:25,009 --> 00:47:26,876
That's the future
for our company.
814
00:47:32,584 --> 00:47:34,317
on the next episode...
815
00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:36,586
this area
has only this much pay.
816
00:47:37,622 --> 00:47:38,821
Whoo.
817
00:47:38,857 --> 00:47:41,390
...Team turin make a game-changing pivot.
818
00:47:43,461 --> 00:47:44,660
God bless america.
819
00:47:45,797 --> 00:47:49,232
and while daveexplores the wilds of montana.
820
00:47:49,267 --> 00:47:51,601
there might be some
easy money up there, dave.
821
00:47:51,669 --> 00:47:53,369
I'm excited, buddy.
822
00:47:53,404 --> 00:47:55,404
...The crew March towards...
823
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,673
That *bleep* even sounds
like pay.
824
00:47:57,709 --> 00:47:59,909
...Their million-dollar dream.
825
00:47:59,944 --> 00:48:01,644
-Got to weigh it up, shelly.
-All right.
