1
00:00:24,793 --> 00:00:26,482
There's gold all
through these rugs now.
2
00:00:27,172 --> 00:00:29,044
Look at this little guy.
3
00:00:29,068 --> 00:00:31,562
Deep in the Yukon wilderness,
4
00:00:31,586 --> 00:00:35,251
Rick ness is on a mission
to make millions in gold
5
00:00:35,275 --> 00:00:39,079
after a year off mining,
left him nearly broke.
6
00:00:39,103 --> 00:00:40,527
Yeah, it's all good.
7
00:00:40,551 --> 00:00:41,551
Really good.
8
00:00:42,586 --> 00:00:44,320
But I mean, it's
just a small crew.
9
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:45,758
We're working well together,
10
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:47,527
having fun.
11
00:00:47,551 --> 00:00:48,769
The gold is showing up.
12
00:00:48,793 --> 00:00:50,148
It was a great way
to start the season,
13
00:00:50,172 --> 00:00:51,596
you know, now, I'll have
a little money in the bank
14
00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:53,275
to start going forward.
15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,734
A month into the season,
16
00:00:56,758 --> 00:00:59,113
Rick's finding his footing.
17
00:00:59,137 --> 00:01:01,596
His lean crew are
working through a pile
18
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:03,931
of leftover rally
valley pay dirt.
19
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:08,113
And so far, he's
banked 65 ounces,
20
00:01:08,137 --> 00:01:11,413
one hundred thirty
thousand dollars in gold.
21
00:01:12,896 --> 00:01:14,872
I mean, we're not breaking
any records as of right now,
22
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:16,700
but I mean, we're
definitely getting ahead,
23
00:01:16,724 --> 00:01:17,803
and I'm happy about that.
24
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:19,389
And you know, we'll
start to add people
25
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:20,838
and start to grow.
26
00:01:20,862 --> 00:01:23,872
And if we can keep on
this pace, I think it's...
27
00:01:23,896 --> 00:01:26,389
We're on track for a
good profitable season.
28
00:01:26,413 --> 00:01:28,137
All right, let's
fire this pig up.
29
00:01:38,965 --> 00:01:40,458
I'm definitely glad to be here.
30
00:01:40,482 --> 00:01:42,769
Especially, now that
we're seeing the pay
31
00:01:42,793 --> 00:01:44,424
coming through
the sluice every day,
32
00:01:44,448 --> 00:01:46,320
it's just getting
thicker and thicker.
33
00:01:46,344 --> 00:01:47,631
In the loader,
34
00:01:47,655 --> 00:01:50,217
greenhorn gold
miner, Morgan Lauren,
35
00:01:50,241 --> 00:01:53,251
feeds 120 yards an hour of pay
36
00:01:53,275 --> 00:01:56,113
into wash plant, monster red.
37
00:01:56,137 --> 00:01:59,217
Coming out here was
more than just a gamble,
38
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:00,907
but I'm loving it
39
00:02:00,931 --> 00:02:03,000
and I'm very happy
with my choice.
40
00:02:16,482 --> 00:02:18,424
New hire, buzz legault,
41
00:02:18,448 --> 00:02:20,941
trucks waste rocks
from the wash plant
42
00:02:20,965 --> 00:02:23,000
to a nearby dump site.
43
00:02:29,655 --> 00:02:32,217
Right now, we're sustaining,
you know what I mean?
44
00:02:32,241 --> 00:02:34,631
Put my camp up on lien for Troy.
45
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,769
But there's gonna be
more payments in the future,
46
00:02:36,793 --> 00:02:38,286
so north of a thousand ounces,
47
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:40,044
but I wanna go
past paying the bills,
48
00:02:40,068 --> 00:02:42,769
you know, I wanna start putting
together some successful seasons up here.
49
00:02:42,793 --> 00:02:44,320
Right now, the name
of the game is gold.
50
00:02:44,344 --> 00:02:45,976
We need to get as
much of it as we can,
51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,148
as fast as we can.
52
00:02:48,172 --> 00:02:51,734
Rick's stockpile will run
out in a couple of weeks.
53
00:02:51,758 --> 00:02:53,976
Before he can open new cuts,
54
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,734
he needs 20 ounces
this week to cover costs,
55
00:02:57,758 --> 00:03:00,113
build up funds for new equipment
56
00:03:00,137 --> 00:03:04,103
and keep his gold
mining dream alive.
57
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,355
Taking a year off,
58
00:03:06,379 --> 00:03:08,286
it was good for me, it was
great for me, it had to happen.
59
00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:09,838
You know, I don't regret it.
60
00:03:09,862 --> 00:03:11,527
Because without it,
61
00:03:11,551 --> 00:03:12,872
I don't know what
would have happened.
62
00:03:12,896 --> 00:03:14,355
But that being said,
63
00:03:14,379 --> 00:03:16,389
this makes things a lot more
difficult, you know what I mean?
64
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:17,562
There's trust issues all around,
65
00:03:17,586 --> 00:03:19,424
like, "is he okay? Is he back?
66
00:03:19,448 --> 00:03:21,079
Is he fine? Does he
know what he's doing?
67
00:03:21,103 --> 00:03:23,389
Is he gonna fail?"
68
00:03:23,413 --> 00:03:24,941
Well, I know the answer to that,
69
00:03:24,965 --> 00:03:29,000
but you know, I still have a lot to
prove up here, you know what I mean?
70
00:03:29,586 --> 00:03:30,655
Especially, to my crew.
71
00:03:35,586 --> 00:03:36,803
Hey, Morgan!
72
00:03:36,827 --> 00:03:37,931
Can you move that stuff?
73
00:03:42,068 --> 00:03:43,655
I'm definitely Rick's favorite.
74
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:09,000
Holy.
75
00:04:19,931 --> 00:04:20,873
Man!
76
00:04:20,897 --> 00:04:24,206
It's smoking like a
dude, and it stinks.
77
00:04:26,482 --> 00:04:27,793
I can see it from up there.
78
00:04:30,448 --> 00:04:31,448
Great!
79
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:47,655
Check the oil.
80
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:52,482
Look at that
81
00:04:55,689 --> 00:04:56,965
yeah, she's shot.
82
00:04:58,206 --> 00:04:59,551
That's the head gasket.
83
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:04,030
Yeah, oil ain't supposed
to look like that.
84
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:09,068
In layman's terms, she's.
85
00:05:12,965 --> 00:05:16,010
Rick's 460 horsepower pump
86
00:05:16,034 --> 00:05:18,344
is seized up and
stopped working.
87
00:05:19,827 --> 00:05:23,079
The head gasket that
provides an air-tight seal
88
00:05:23,103 --> 00:05:25,941
between the cylinder
head and the engine block
89
00:05:25,965 --> 00:05:30,000
has cracked, allowing
oil and coolant to mix
90
00:05:31,344 --> 00:05:33,413
and the engine to overheat.
91
00:05:35,172 --> 00:05:38,206
To fix it would
require a total rebuild.
92
00:05:41,172 --> 00:05:42,769
That's pretty much
all she wrote. Right?
93
00:05:42,793 --> 00:05:45,251
That oil has got antifreeze
in it, we can't run it.
94
00:05:45,275 --> 00:05:46,872
Re-build the whole engine,
95
00:05:46,896 --> 00:05:49,103
we don't have the
capabilities for that here.
96
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:50,976
No.
97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,493
No matter what, in
the meantime, we're
98
00:05:53,517 --> 00:05:54,917
because I don't
have another spare.
99
00:05:55,517 --> 00:05:57,665
$200,000 pump.
100
00:05:57,689 --> 00:06:00,493
All I can think of doing is
start making phone calls.
101
00:06:00,517 --> 00:06:02,527
I gotta find a new
pump somewhere.
102
00:06:02,551 --> 00:06:05,862
Rick's in a catch-22 situation.
103
00:06:06,586 --> 00:06:10,631
Buying a new pump could
cost him over 200 grand,
104
00:06:10,655 --> 00:06:12,596
money he can't afford.
105
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:16,458
But with no pump to
send water to the plant,
106
00:06:16,482 --> 00:06:18,931
Rick can't catch gold.
107
00:06:21,827 --> 00:06:23,010
Hey.
108
00:06:23,034 --> 00:06:24,838
It's Rick ness, I'm
up here in the Yukon.
109
00:06:24,862 --> 00:06:27,838
I run a small gold
placer mining operation.
110
00:06:27,862 --> 00:06:32,734
I'm looking for a pump, ten by
eight, ten by ten, whatever you've got.
111
00:06:32,758 --> 00:06:35,527
I don't think we're gonna
be able to help you out here.
112
00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:37,389
I've got zero inventory.
113
00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:39,389
And all the guys around us,
114
00:06:39,413 --> 00:06:42,113
I would normally
steer you towards.
115
00:06:42,137 --> 00:06:44,355
I know that they're
all out as well.
116
00:06:44,379 --> 00:06:46,000
Well, thank you
for the phone call.
117
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:52,241
That's not making
me feel too optimistic.
118
00:06:55,034 --> 00:06:56,665
Everything is so hard
to come by up here,
119
00:06:56,689 --> 00:07:00,275
and then right now, it's just, seems like
everything's just weeks if not months out.
120
00:07:03,379 --> 00:07:04,379
It's not gonna be good.
121
00:07:19,862 --> 00:07:23,769
Plans always have a way
again to screw it up. You know?
122
00:07:23,793 --> 00:07:26,286
I was hoping to be
sluicing in three days,
123
00:07:26,310 --> 00:07:28,724
and it's gonna
be more like, ten.
124
00:07:31,103 --> 00:07:34,458
One hundred miles
west in the klondike,
125
00:07:34,482 --> 00:07:36,965
Parker schnabel is
desperate for gold.
126
00:07:37,965 --> 00:07:39,976
He has bet everything he's got
127
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,896
on buying the $15 million
dominion creek claim.
128
00:07:45,379 --> 00:07:47,389
But five weeks into the season,
129
00:07:47,413 --> 00:07:49,389
he hasn't mined an ounce
130
00:07:49,413 --> 00:07:52,182
and is fast running out of cash.
131
00:07:52,206 --> 00:07:55,148
We're draining every
bank account, till I get there.
132
00:07:55,172 --> 00:07:57,838
We're hoping to still do,
133
00:07:57,862 --> 00:07:59,562
like 5,000 ounces this year.
134
00:07:59,586 --> 00:08:01,517
So...
135
00:08:02,793 --> 00:08:04,665
Still doesn't put us in
the green for the year,
136
00:08:04,689 --> 00:08:05,758
but it just...
137
00:08:06,551 --> 00:08:08,413
Makes us be able to survive.
138
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:14,976
Dominion is a huge
seven-year long project
139
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,068
with a potential
$160 million payout.
140
00:08:19,827 --> 00:08:21,803
But after buying the claim,
141
00:08:21,827 --> 00:08:24,872
Parker's barely got enough
cash to keep it running
142
00:08:24,896 --> 00:08:26,655
and risks going bankrupt
143
00:08:27,689 --> 00:08:30,010
before the gold starts flowing.
144
00:08:30,034 --> 00:08:33,286
This ground is quite a bit deeper
than where we've been mining.
145
00:08:33,310 --> 00:08:36,389
Nearly double, double
the depth, double the cost.
146
00:08:36,413 --> 00:08:38,734
I mean, there's not
much we can do about it.
147
00:08:38,758 --> 00:08:41,655
It just comes down
to moving the dirt.
148
00:08:46,862 --> 00:08:49,700
Right now, we're just
trying to get down to some
149
00:08:49,724 --> 00:08:51,355
gold rich pay dirt here,
150
00:08:51,379 --> 00:08:53,148
which we know is
underneath us somewhere,
151
00:08:53,172 --> 00:08:55,000
but it's a ways down there.
152
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,734
In the money pit cut,
153
00:08:57,758 --> 00:09:02,044
foreman Mitch blaschke
strips worthless overburden.
154
00:09:02,068 --> 00:09:04,700
We're trying to open as much
ground as we possibly can
155
00:09:04,724 --> 00:09:05,907
here at dominion.
156
00:09:05,931 --> 00:09:09,010
Get this mud removed
and get the gravels thawing.
157
00:09:09,034 --> 00:09:11,700
I think the money pit
is gonna be crucial,
158
00:09:11,724 --> 00:09:16,665
not only for our future
success here at dominion,
159
00:09:16,689 --> 00:09:18,827
but for hitting that
5,000 ounce target.
160
00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:23,976
Parker needs the money pit
161
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,275
to deliver at least 2,000
ounces this season.
162
00:09:28,379 --> 00:09:30,458
Before he brings
in a wash plant,
163
00:09:30,482 --> 00:09:33,872
he wants all 40 acres
stripped and thawed
164
00:09:33,896 --> 00:09:36,000
and he's weeks
from getting it done.
165
00:09:37,482 --> 00:09:40,596
To get the gold he
needs to pay for it all,
166
00:09:40,620 --> 00:09:42,838
Parker has opened
up a second operation,
167
00:09:42,862 --> 00:09:44,631
ten miles south
168
00:09:44,655 --> 00:09:48,010
on ground leased from
landowners Ken tatlow
169
00:09:48,034 --> 00:09:49,310
and Stuart schmidt.
170
00:09:50,689 --> 00:09:52,182
You know, the last time
we were down at Ken's,
171
00:09:52,206 --> 00:09:55,976
we had the good, the bad and the
ugly named after a western movie.
172
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,182
He thought the unforgiven
would be a good name.
173
00:09:58,206 --> 00:10:02,769
So, we finally have a
name for the nameless cut.
174
00:10:02,793 --> 00:10:05,965
In charge of getting Parker's
first gold of the season,
175
00:10:06,758 --> 00:10:08,079
Tyson Lee.
176
00:10:08,103 --> 00:10:10,182
You know, when we came
down to Ken's this year,
177
00:10:10,206 --> 00:10:11,976
it was supposed to be easy,
it was supposed to be quick,
178
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,838
but nothing's easy,
nothing's quick
179
00:10:13,862 --> 00:10:15,665
and nothing's the way
you think it should be.
180
00:10:15,689 --> 00:10:19,665
With Parker throwing
everything its stripping dominion,
181
00:10:19,689 --> 00:10:23,389
Tyson's been left with
just a 480 excavator
182
00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:25,148
and two rock trucks.
183
00:10:25,172 --> 00:10:27,079
We have no spare
parts down here.
184
00:10:27,103 --> 00:10:28,803
We have no service
truck down here.
185
00:10:28,827 --> 00:10:30,448
We have no mechanic down here.
186
00:10:32,517 --> 00:10:37,596
It's been me, Max and
Tyson for the last few days.
187
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:39,217
It's not perfect.
188
00:10:39,241 --> 00:10:40,389
Originally, when we thought
189
00:10:40,413 --> 00:10:42,217
there was only a little bit
of overburden down here
190
00:10:42,241 --> 00:10:44,458
but now that we realize
there's more overburden,
191
00:10:44,482 --> 00:10:46,862
we're falling further and
further behind every day.
192
00:10:47,862 --> 00:10:49,424
Dig me a hole!
193
00:10:49,448 --> 00:10:50,631
Last week
194
00:10:50,655 --> 00:10:53,182
I thought he was
gonna hit bedrock here.
195
00:10:53,206 --> 00:10:56,493
Parker discovered the
unforgiven cuts pay layer
196
00:10:56,517 --> 00:10:59,941
was far deeper than expected.
197
00:10:59,965 --> 00:11:02,355
Really thought we were gonna
have a plant running sooner than this,
198
00:11:02,379 --> 00:11:04,551
but yeah, not ideal.
199
00:11:07,965 --> 00:11:10,562
And you know, Parker is
on his way down right now.
200
00:11:10,586 --> 00:11:12,146
He's gonna take a
look at the progress.
201
00:11:21,689 --> 00:11:24,551
This cut, just the
gravel won't stop.
202
00:11:26,344 --> 00:11:29,137
So much gravel
with no gold in it.
203
00:11:39,827 --> 00:11:41,344
Four colors at that level.
204
00:11:48,413 --> 00:11:50,448
Doesn't look like he has
any bedrock anywhere.
205
00:11:53,793 --> 00:11:56,665
In the seven acre
unforgiven cut,
206
00:11:56,689 --> 00:11:59,793
Tyson is digging down
through layers of dirt.
207
00:12:00,689 --> 00:12:02,596
The first and thickest
208
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:04,827
is the worthless overburden.
209
00:12:05,344 --> 00:12:06,527
The second
210
00:12:06,551 --> 00:12:09,413
is the rocky material
known as gravels.
211
00:12:10,517 --> 00:12:12,596
Finally, the pay layer
212
00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:15,700
that sits on top
of hard bedrock.
213
00:12:15,724 --> 00:12:17,596
Gold is concentrated
214
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:20,631
between the bottom
six inches of gravels
215
00:12:20,655 --> 00:12:23,137
and the top six
inches of bedrock.
216
00:12:28,517 --> 00:12:29,390
Hey.
217
00:12:29,414 --> 00:12:30,803
Did you find any gold?
218
00:12:30,827 --> 00:12:32,010
I found four colors,
219
00:12:32,034 --> 00:12:33,665
like, right at the ditch level.
220
00:12:33,689 --> 00:12:36,079
Yeah, I haven't hit
bedrock anywhere.
221
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:38,320
When do you want
to start sluicing?
222
00:12:38,344 --> 00:12:40,965
We really need to get
down to pay in one week.
223
00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:47,769
Is the 750 coming
down at any time?
224
00:12:47,793 --> 00:12:49,527
You know, it would
speed things up.
225
00:12:49,551 --> 00:12:51,803
Ten to 12 scoops in
a truck with this thing
226
00:12:51,827 --> 00:12:54,344
and what would it be
with the 750, three to five?
227
00:12:55,172 --> 00:12:56,310
It's kind of busy.
228
00:12:57,137 --> 00:12:58,803
Okay.
229
00:12:58,827 --> 00:13:00,724
Well, let me see
what I can free up.
230
00:13:01,344 --> 00:13:02,448
- You good?
- Yeah.
231
00:13:03,931 --> 00:13:05,103
Run, for rest.
232
00:13:06,689 --> 00:13:09,148
You know, a 750,
really would be nice.
233
00:13:09,172 --> 00:13:10,217
It will speed things up.
234
00:13:10,241 --> 00:13:12,310
But it's just not in
the cards right now.
235
00:13:20,586 --> 00:13:22,931
That does not look normal.
236
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:36,517
It looks.
237
00:13:38,724 --> 00:13:40,113
Four-eighty's got
238
00:13:40,137 --> 00:13:41,803
a track pin that's
ready to break
239
00:13:41,827 --> 00:13:44,700
and it's the last
thing I need right now.
240
00:13:44,724 --> 00:13:46,355
If the excavator goes down,
241
00:13:46,379 --> 00:13:49,000
then this whole
operation goes down.
242
00:13:57,551 --> 00:13:59,044
Four-eighty's got
243
00:13:59,068 --> 00:14:00,769
a track pin that's
ready to break.
244
00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:03,044
I've radioed for help,
but it's a long ways out.
245
00:14:03,068 --> 00:14:04,838
They're at dominion.
246
00:14:04,862 --> 00:14:07,976
Tyson is racing to hit pay dirt
247
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,700
by the end of the week.
248
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:12,562
But his only excavator is down
249
00:14:12,586 --> 00:14:14,586
with a cracked track pin.
250
00:14:16,517 --> 00:14:19,182
Here we go.
251
00:14:19,206 --> 00:14:21,838
It took us an hour and ten
minutes to get down here.
252
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:22,862
What up?
253
00:14:23,379 --> 00:14:24,356
What's up?
254
00:14:24,380 --> 00:14:25,517
Not much. You?
255
00:14:27,448 --> 00:14:29,907
So, is it, like,
snapped right off or...
256
00:14:29,931 --> 00:14:30,931
It's over here.
257
00:14:34,517 --> 00:14:35,758
This one right here.
258
00:14:36,517 --> 00:14:37,517
Yeah.
259
00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:40,206
- That'll do it.
- That'll do her.
260
00:14:43,689 --> 00:14:46,665
The track on the
58 ton excavator
261
00:14:46,689 --> 00:14:49,620
is held together
by 52 coupling pins.
262
00:14:50,896 --> 00:14:55,113
One is cracked and
about to shear off.
263
00:14:55,137 --> 00:14:59,275
To fix the track pad above,
the pin must be removed.
264
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:02,344
The broken pin taken out...
265
00:15:04,551 --> 00:15:06,172
A new pin inserted...
266
00:15:07,827 --> 00:15:10,862
Before the track is
bolted back into position.
267
00:15:13,310 --> 00:15:14,803
It's good to see
Ryan and Ty are here,
268
00:15:14,827 --> 00:15:17,424
but at the same time, now,
rock trucks aren't getting loaded.
269
00:15:17,448 --> 00:15:19,562
We're gonna have to
speed things up somehow
270
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:21,286
or else we're in big trouble.
271
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:23,000
This is where the pin is broken.
272
00:15:23,931 --> 00:15:26,389
He caught it in a decent time
273
00:15:26,413 --> 00:15:29,148
before it's
completely fallen off.
274
00:15:29,172 --> 00:15:31,172
Either way we've
gotta fix the pin.
275
00:15:32,655 --> 00:15:33,655
Cut it.
276
00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:47,425
Okay.
277
00:15:47,449 --> 00:15:48,734
Put new pin in.
278
00:15:48,758 --> 00:15:49,735
Grind them off.
279
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:50,838
Send her.
280
00:15:50,862 --> 00:15:52,275
I think I'm lined up.
281
00:15:52,758 --> 00:15:54,000
Send her home.
282
00:15:58,103 --> 00:15:59,103
Yeah, right there.
283
00:16:02,103 --> 00:16:03,172
Okay!
284
00:16:04,206 --> 00:16:05,689
Put the trackpads on...
285
00:16:08,379 --> 00:16:09,827
And then, just weld that pin.
286
00:16:10,448 --> 00:16:11,872
So, it stays.
287
00:16:11,896 --> 00:16:14,182
Then back to work it goes.
288
00:16:14,206 --> 00:16:18,010
These guys have done a
stand up job on this excavator.
289
00:16:18,034 --> 00:16:19,907
I couldn't have
done it without them.
290
00:16:19,931 --> 00:16:20,770
All right, see you later.
291
00:16:20,794 --> 00:16:21,976
Driving off into the sunset.
292
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,562
Thanks, guys, I appreciate it.
293
00:16:23,586 --> 00:16:25,251
Yeah, no worries, man.
294
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:29,907
After a six hour delay,
Tyson is back in the cut.
295
00:16:29,931 --> 00:16:32,631
And the race is
on to hit pay dirt
296
00:16:32,655 --> 00:16:34,355
by the end of the week.
297
00:16:34,379 --> 00:16:36,907
The sooner we get the
overburden gravel moved,
298
00:16:36,931 --> 00:16:39,458
the sooner we can start making
some money and getting some gold
299
00:16:39,482 --> 00:16:42,827
and paying off the
purchase price of dominion.
300
00:17:04,724 --> 00:17:06,458
Half a mile away,
301
00:17:06,482 --> 00:17:09,079
king of the
klondike, Tony beets,
302
00:17:09,103 --> 00:17:11,103
is finally getting
into a rhythm.
303
00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:24,734
Tony started the year
with a burst of chaos.
304
00:17:24,758 --> 00:17:28,596
Spending big to open
cuts in paradise hill.
305
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:32,251
Then, just weeks later,
he risked everything
306
00:17:32,275 --> 00:17:34,251
moving his entire operation
307
00:17:34,275 --> 00:17:36,355
to his Indian river claims.
308
00:17:36,379 --> 00:17:40,965
And like Parker still
hasn't mined a flake.
309
00:18:11,758 --> 00:18:13,113
There's just one catch
310
00:18:13,137 --> 00:18:15,000
with his Indian river claims
311
00:18:15,827 --> 00:18:18,458
Tony is only
allowed to mine here
312
00:18:18,482 --> 00:18:21,424
on a restricted water license.
313
00:18:21,448 --> 00:18:26,907
He can't pump water from
or into the nearby Indian river,
314
00:18:26,931 --> 00:18:30,379
so must recycle all
the water on his claim.
315
00:18:36,034 --> 00:18:37,034
Yes.
316
00:18:41,965 --> 00:18:43,320
Four years ago,
317
00:18:43,344 --> 00:18:45,976
Tony stripped one
of his prized cuts
318
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,562
near his dredge.
319
00:18:47,586 --> 00:18:50,320
It has since flooded with water
320
00:18:50,344 --> 00:18:53,448
stopping him from getting
to the pay layer below.
321
00:18:54,206 --> 00:18:56,803
Tony's plan for fast gold,
322
00:18:56,827 --> 00:18:59,320
pump over a million
gallons of water
323
00:18:59,344 --> 00:19:01,217
out of the flooded cut
324
00:19:01,241 --> 00:19:04,000
through a new 100-foot long pipe
325
00:19:05,620 --> 00:19:08,724
into the neighboring
pond where the dredge sits.
326
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:11,941
Once drained,
327
00:19:11,965 --> 00:19:14,734
he'll remove the final
foot of overburden
328
00:19:14,758 --> 00:19:18,517
to expose the gold rich
pay layer he left behind.
329
00:19:20,758 --> 00:19:21,701
Now, this is one of those times
330
00:19:21,725 --> 00:19:23,405
where it'd be nice to
have Kevin out here.
331
00:19:24,655 --> 00:19:26,527
I've been around
watching other people do it,
332
00:19:26,551 --> 00:19:27,907
but this is the first
time I've ever done it.
333
00:19:27,931 --> 00:19:28,941
Yeah.
334
00:19:28,965 --> 00:19:31,734
First, Tony's
youngest son, Mike,
335
00:19:31,758 --> 00:19:34,182
must fuse together five sections
336
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:38,217
of 20-foot long
polycarbonate pipe.
337
00:19:38,241 --> 00:19:40,286
Where the pipes are
fused together, you can
338
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:42,251
use and abuse them
'cause they're pretty tough.
339
00:19:42,275 --> 00:19:45,172
And we accidentally ran
over one with a d6 didn't do.
340
00:19:52,172 --> 00:19:53,206
Keep pushing!
341
00:19:54,586 --> 00:19:55,586
Good!
342
00:20:16,827 --> 00:20:18,562
Now, here. Come here.
343
00:20:18,586 --> 00:20:19,907
Come here.
344
00:20:19,931 --> 00:20:22,010
I don't bite, I swear.
345
00:20:22,034 --> 00:20:23,838
You see how smooth that is now?
346
00:20:23,862 --> 00:20:25,700
Well, you can see over
here, it's still a bit rough.
347
00:20:25,724 --> 00:20:27,907
Means I have to
shave it a bit more.
348
00:20:27,931 --> 00:20:29,838
We're trying to get this
as smooth as possible.
349
00:20:29,862 --> 00:20:30,839
And that makes it easier.
350
00:20:30,863 --> 00:20:32,137
When it melts, they fuse.
351
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:38,010
There's a art to this!
352
00:20:38,034 --> 00:20:39,551
It takes a little bit to get it.
353
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,758
It's not cutting
on the one side.
354
00:20:56,758 --> 00:20:58,000
Like not even slightly.
355
00:20:58,689 --> 00:20:59,976
This seems pointless almost
356
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,113
'cause these
blades aren't cutting.
357
00:21:02,137 --> 00:21:03,872
A rough edge of the pipe
358
00:21:03,896 --> 00:21:06,458
is stopping the
fusion machine's blade
359
00:21:06,482 --> 00:21:08,172
from making a clean cut.
360
00:21:09,241 --> 00:21:13,206
If Mike can't fix it,
his pipe dream is over.
361
00:21:14,931 --> 00:21:16,803
Do we have a chainsaw on site?
362
00:21:16,827 --> 00:21:18,724
It could be the weld.
363
00:21:28,551 --> 00:21:30,896
Well, we gotta do what we
gotta do with what we got.
364
00:21:51,344 --> 00:21:53,941
Now, the pipe has a flush cut.
365
00:21:53,965 --> 00:21:57,724
The 400 degree fahrenheit
heating plate is inserted.
366
00:21:58,379 --> 00:21:59,493
We're melting the ends.
367
00:21:59,517 --> 00:22:03,251
After that we can...
We'll pull that out,
368
00:22:03,275 --> 00:22:04,734
then we'll fuse them together.
369
00:22:04,758 --> 00:22:06,907
You see in there,
right next to a hot pan,
370
00:22:06,931 --> 00:22:08,655
you see how it's
starting to roll?
371
00:22:09,137 --> 00:22:10,137
That's the heat...
372
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:12,586
Melting it in a bit.
373
00:22:13,517 --> 00:22:14,872
Joint complete,
374
00:22:14,896 --> 00:22:17,562
the pipeline is
dragged into place
375
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:20,286
between the pump
in the flooded cut
376
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:21,586
and the dredge pond.
377
00:22:59,965 --> 00:23:01,562
You know, every
layer we take off
378
00:23:01,586 --> 00:23:03,010
is a layer closer to pay,
379
00:23:03,034 --> 00:23:05,838
but I still haven't hit
bedrock anywhere in this cut.
380
00:23:05,862 --> 00:23:10,286
At the unforgiven cut,
Tyson Lee's skeleton crew
381
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:13,665
has just three days to
meet Parker's deadline
382
00:23:13,689 --> 00:23:16,976
of hitting pay by
the end of the week.
383
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,872
If they don't start
delivering gold soon,
384
00:23:19,896 --> 00:23:22,448
Parker could run out of cash.
385
00:23:24,517 --> 00:23:26,241
You know, I get
the urge to sluice
386
00:23:26,931 --> 00:23:30,620
my first day up here,
but you got to be realistic.
387
00:23:38,344 --> 00:23:41,010
Today, we have loaded a 750
388
00:23:41,034 --> 00:23:42,862
that's gonna go down to
389
00:23:44,034 --> 00:23:45,596
Ken and Stuart's.
390
00:23:45,620 --> 00:23:48,458
We needed the 750
in every other place,
391
00:23:48,482 --> 00:23:51,976
but Tyson needs it
the worst, so he gets it.
392
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,977
What do they say,
393
00:23:53,001 --> 00:23:55,769
"the squeakiest wheel
gets the most grease,"
394
00:23:55,793 --> 00:23:58,010
so I guess, we're
greasing Tyson today.
395
00:23:58,034 --> 00:24:01,551
And he's gonna be one happy
human being when it shows up.
396
00:24:03,965 --> 00:24:05,286
Yee-haw!
397
00:24:05,310 --> 00:24:06,310
Right on, man.
398
00:24:07,862 --> 00:24:08,941
How's it going, jordi?
399
00:24:08,965 --> 00:24:11,010
I heard you wanted a big hoe.
400
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:12,803
Thanks, man.
401
00:24:12,827 --> 00:24:15,596
If we're looking to get stuff
done quick, fast, in a hurry,
402
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:17,976
the 750 is one for the job.
403
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,803
- No worries, have fun.
- You, too.
404
00:24:19,827 --> 00:24:20,735
I'll see you later.
405
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,044
Come by and visit some time.
406
00:24:22,068 --> 00:24:23,458
Yeah, hey, you should come by.
407
00:24:23,482 --> 00:24:24,631
Yeah, maybe I will.
408
00:24:24,655 --> 00:24:26,113
- Movie night.
- Okay.
409
00:24:26,137 --> 00:24:28,758
I got a candle with
your name on it.
410
00:24:33,758 --> 00:24:36,827
Bye!
411
00:24:37,517 --> 00:24:41,355
In a 750, Tyson
can now load trucks
412
00:24:41,379 --> 00:24:43,182
four times faster.
413
00:24:43,206 --> 00:24:45,217
This will definitely
speed things up.
414
00:24:45,241 --> 00:24:48,286
And with an extra
operator in the 480,
415
00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:50,665
the crew now has
a fighting chance
416
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:53,000
to hit pay by the
end of the week.
417
00:24:55,206 --> 00:24:58,596
Nice one, Tyson!
418
00:24:58,620 --> 00:25:00,896
It'd be real nice to
have a 750 in the cut.
419
00:25:02,310 --> 00:25:04,251
We can move trucks a lot faster
420
00:25:04,275 --> 00:25:07,586
and we can have two
hoes running at once now.
421
00:25:09,206 --> 00:25:12,079
We are literally gliding now.
422
00:25:12,103 --> 00:25:15,310
I'd say it sped up, like,
three times faster now.
423
00:25:27,862 --> 00:25:29,424
We've been down
for couple of days.
424
00:25:29,448 --> 00:25:30,724
Pump died on me.
425
00:25:31,517 --> 00:25:33,010
At Duncan creek,
426
00:25:33,034 --> 00:25:36,596
a broken water pump has
shut down Rick's operation
427
00:25:36,620 --> 00:25:38,148
for four days.
428
00:25:38,172 --> 00:25:40,044
But against all odds,
429
00:25:40,068 --> 00:25:42,896
Rick secured a
lease on a new one.
430
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,838
I expect the new water
pump to show up today.
431
00:25:45,862 --> 00:25:47,872
These guys really
helped me out here.
432
00:25:47,896 --> 00:25:50,010
Everybody else I called,
they're just laughing at me,
433
00:25:50,034 --> 00:25:50,908
like it was some kind of joke.
434
00:25:50,932 --> 00:25:52,372
I really want to
get fired up again.
435
00:25:53,448 --> 00:25:55,010
We made a deal, it
was good deal for me.
436
00:25:55,034 --> 00:25:57,586
It's exactly what I needed
to get back on the gold.
437
00:25:58,931 --> 00:26:01,493
That looks like the
pump guys right there.
438
00:26:01,517 --> 00:26:03,896
Yeah, that's a big
pump they're towing.
439
00:26:09,586 --> 00:26:10,586
How are you doing, guys?
440
00:26:11,172 --> 00:26:11,977
How are you?
441
00:26:12,001 --> 00:26:13,286
I need a pump.
442
00:26:13,310 --> 00:26:15,182
- Holy - Sean?
- Yep.
443
00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:16,424
Right on. Rick.
Nice to meet you.
444
00:26:16,448 --> 00:26:17,425
Nice to meet you. Devin.
445
00:26:17,449 --> 00:26:19,010
Devin, nice to meet you, buddy.
446
00:26:19,034 --> 00:26:20,148
So, let's look at this thing.
447
00:26:20,172 --> 00:26:21,217
What does it hold for fuel?
448
00:26:21,241 --> 00:26:24,320
You should... About 560 gallons.
449
00:26:24,344 --> 00:26:25,596
Right on.
450
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:27,355
I mean, we're just about ready
to pop this new one in there.
451
00:26:27,379 --> 00:26:28,321
We'll give you a hand.
452
00:26:28,345 --> 00:26:29,631
I'll take it, extra hands.
453
00:26:29,655 --> 00:26:31,217
Absolutely.
454
00:26:31,241 --> 00:26:33,148
If it all goes well, we should just
be able to sling it out of the trailer
455
00:26:33,172 --> 00:26:34,734
walk it down there, right?
456
00:26:34,758 --> 00:26:36,217
I got a safety
rope on that side,
457
00:26:36,241 --> 00:26:37,458
to get someone out of the way,
458
00:26:37,482 --> 00:26:39,522
- so they'll be able to turn it for you.
- Perfect.
459
00:26:40,344 --> 00:26:41,665
I mean, the pump is beautiful,
460
00:26:41,689 --> 00:26:43,562
but, you know, the fact that
those guys drove it all the way here,
461
00:26:43,586 --> 00:26:45,251
and now they're gonna stick
around, help me get it set up,
462
00:26:45,275 --> 00:26:47,000
I mean, how can I
ask for more than that?
463
00:26:47,758 --> 00:26:48,907
The old pump is out.
464
00:26:48,931 --> 00:26:50,562
Nice to get the new one in.
465
00:26:50,586 --> 00:26:52,562
And make some gold around here.
466
00:26:52,586 --> 00:26:54,148
Hey, Devin, when
you get down there,
467
00:26:54,172 --> 00:26:55,734
you guide Rick in?
468
00:26:55,758 --> 00:26:56,758
Yeah.
469
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:04,206
We'll, drive that truck out.
470
00:27:08,586 --> 00:27:09,724
Swing her this way, Rick.
471
00:27:16,793 --> 00:27:18,700
So far, so good, but...
472
00:27:18,724 --> 00:27:21,562
Let's go take this
nice and slow.
473
00:27:21,586 --> 00:27:25,010
The new pump weighs
over two and a half tons
474
00:27:25,034 --> 00:27:27,448
and costs $200,000.
475
00:27:28,448 --> 00:27:30,044
If Rick damages it,
476
00:27:30,068 --> 00:27:33,379
it will wipe him out
and end his season.
477
00:27:35,965 --> 00:27:36,873
It's a heavy pump
478
00:27:36,897 --> 00:27:40,251
and we're going down
a very steep incline.
479
00:27:40,275 --> 00:27:41,955
So, I'm very aware,
that this thing can...
480
00:27:42,896 --> 00:27:44,241
Point a nose over on me.
481
00:27:48,896 --> 00:27:50,379
It's so, so, so close.
482
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:54,379
Taking it very, very
slow, very easy.
483
00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:57,068
Right.
484
00:27:58,965 --> 00:28:01,251
And once we got the
discharge line hooked up,
485
00:28:01,275 --> 00:28:02,976
then we can pick
the whole pump up,
486
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,079
kind of put it where we want it
487
00:28:04,103 --> 00:28:05,803
and that line will follow it.
488
00:28:05,827 --> 00:28:07,620
Some big stuff we're
working with here.
489
00:28:08,137 --> 00:28:09,137
We'll get there.
490
00:28:12,310 --> 00:28:14,389
We gotta get this
intake hose slapped on.
491
00:28:14,413 --> 00:28:15,872
Should be able to throw
the basket in the water
492
00:28:15,896 --> 00:28:17,665
and fire it up and
see what happens.
493
00:28:17,689 --> 00:28:19,527
We've been down
for quite a while now,
494
00:28:19,551 --> 00:28:21,655
waiting for this
pump to get put in.
495
00:28:22,793 --> 00:28:24,344
So hopefully, this
will do the trick.
496
00:28:31,275 --> 00:28:33,010
Ready to rock and roll?
497
00:28:33,034 --> 00:28:35,803
So, we also have this
remote feature with the unit.
498
00:28:35,827 --> 00:28:36,827
Yeah?
499
00:28:38,034 --> 00:28:39,562
So, basically, you
just press this button
500
00:28:39,586 --> 00:28:41,010
and your pump fires up.
501
00:28:41,034 --> 00:28:42,872
That is awesome.
502
00:28:42,896 --> 00:28:44,872
- I can do that from up the plant.
- Yeah.
503
00:28:44,896 --> 00:28:45,896
Just press that button.
504
00:28:49,172 --> 00:28:50,665
I'm like a child with a new toy.
505
00:28:50,689 --> 00:28:52,286
On top of what
work went into it...
506
00:28:52,310 --> 00:28:54,182
Fancy words again, buddy.
507
00:28:54,206 --> 00:28:55,493
I'm glad we could help you out.
508
00:28:55,517 --> 00:28:56,425
That's fantastic.
509
00:28:56,449 --> 00:28:57,631
Yeah, I appreciate it.
510
00:28:57,655 --> 00:28:58,724
We're back in business.
511
00:28:59,689 --> 00:29:01,793
Risky business.
512
00:29:03,275 --> 00:29:04,734
Now, let's get the
hell out of here.
513
00:29:04,758 --> 00:29:06,238
We've gotta get
back sluicing though.
514
00:29:12,862 --> 00:29:14,902
Yeah, Devin, go ahead,
throw some water at me, bud.
515
00:29:15,724 --> 00:29:17,631
I hear it coming, I
hear the water coming.
516
00:29:17,655 --> 00:29:18,931
Here we go.
517
00:29:27,310 --> 00:29:28,310
All right.
518
00:29:38,379 --> 00:29:39,419
We're back up and running.
519
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:42,413
This is huge.
520
00:29:45,965 --> 00:29:50,527
The three day shutdown
cost Rick nearly $20,000
521
00:29:50,551 --> 00:29:52,976
in lost gold production.
522
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,113
But with the leased pump
in, he's back on the gold
523
00:29:57,137 --> 00:29:59,896
chasing his 20
ounce weekly goal.
524
00:30:16,034 --> 00:30:17,103
Who let the.
525
00:30:27,655 --> 00:30:30,586
The... pump died,
the water pump.
526
00:30:44,103 --> 00:30:45,275
Shut the plant off.
527
00:30:46,379 --> 00:30:48,241
Just to save a lot of problems.
528
00:30:50,689 --> 00:30:53,872
Rick's brand new pump
has stopped working,
529
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:58,172
bringing his operation
to a standstill once again.
530
00:31:06,103 --> 00:31:07,872
Yeah, well, we ran
the pump out of fuel.
531
00:31:07,896 --> 00:31:08,896
Pretty stupid.
532
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:11,034
Stupid on my part.
533
00:31:12,344 --> 00:31:13,504
Throwing some fuel down here.
534
00:31:14,310 --> 00:31:15,320
Luckily, buzz caught it.
535
00:31:15,344 --> 00:31:16,527
Now, we're filling her up.
536
00:31:16,551 --> 00:31:18,113
We won't make
that mistake again.
537
00:31:18,137 --> 00:31:20,079
And second of all, you know,
I was just testing my people,
538
00:31:20,103 --> 00:31:21,286
you know, "hey...
539
00:31:21,310 --> 00:31:22,320
You know, is the
pump ran out of fuel?"
540
00:31:22,344 --> 00:31:23,286
Buzz caught it right away.
541
00:31:23,310 --> 00:31:24,310
Amazing.
542
00:31:25,827 --> 00:31:27,379
I'll get it started
from out here.
543
00:31:32,551 --> 00:31:33,551
Pump's fault.
544
00:31:34,517 --> 00:31:35,517
Let it go.
545
00:31:39,241 --> 00:31:40,379
The washplant's started.
546
00:31:51,206 --> 00:31:52,907
You know, if I'm gonna
hit thousand ounces,
547
00:31:52,931 --> 00:31:54,838
I need to continuously
be building this year.
548
00:31:54,862 --> 00:31:56,665
So, that means,
we need the up time,
549
00:31:56,689 --> 00:31:57,838
we need the plant running,
550
00:31:57,862 --> 00:31:59,137
we need all the gold we can.
551
00:32:25,172 --> 00:32:28,907
On a mission to get his
first gold of the season,
552
00:32:28,931 --> 00:32:30,562
Tony beets has drained
553
00:32:30,586 --> 00:32:32,517
the flooded, pre-stripped cut.
554
00:32:34,448 --> 00:32:37,424
He now needs to remove
one foot of overburden
555
00:32:37,448 --> 00:32:38,769
to hit pay dirt
556
00:32:38,793 --> 00:32:41,137
and should be
sluicing within a week.
557
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:53,769
Stripping is easy.
558
00:32:53,793 --> 00:32:56,148
Just take off all
that crap on the top
559
00:32:56,172 --> 00:32:58,620
and we find the
layer with gold in it...
560
00:32:59,241 --> 00:33:00,241
Stop.
561
00:33:01,586 --> 00:33:04,148
Mike strips the thin
layer of overburden
562
00:33:04,172 --> 00:33:05,724
in the d6 dozer.
563
00:33:07,034 --> 00:33:09,182
And hopefully, start
sluicing next week.
564
00:33:09,206 --> 00:33:10,769
I won't hold my breath
565
00:33:10,793 --> 00:33:13,551
because, you know, unexpected
things happen all the time.
566
00:33:14,896 --> 00:33:16,458
I've been here for a week.
567
00:33:16,482 --> 00:33:19,044
And whatever Tony says,
568
00:33:19,068 --> 00:33:20,355
you're free to do,
you just give 'er...
569
00:33:20,379 --> 00:33:23,631
And hopefully,
it'll be a good time.
570
00:33:23,655 --> 00:33:25,838
New hire, Aaron van work um,
571
00:33:25,862 --> 00:33:27,907
is in one of three rock trucks
572
00:33:27,931 --> 00:33:30,241
hauling the waste
dirt to the dump site.
573
00:33:31,103 --> 00:33:34,493
I messaged Tony
on Facebook one day.
574
00:33:34,517 --> 00:33:38,217
And I was like, "hey, how do I get
a job to go out and work with you?"
575
00:33:38,241 --> 00:33:40,493
And he actually responded to me
576
00:33:40,517 --> 00:33:44,148
and he just goes, "if we're
hiring, I'll give you a call."
577
00:33:44,172 --> 00:33:45,965
Well, obviously,
the rest is history.
578
00:33:50,310 --> 00:33:52,448
Well, that is a cluster
but they're coming.
579
00:34:05,586 --> 00:34:07,275
For sakes.
580
00:34:10,862 --> 00:34:13,448
Hey, can you come give
me a pull, I got her stuck.
581
00:34:23,413 --> 00:34:25,862
New, this is a mess.
582
00:34:28,241 --> 00:34:29,241
Stick her in.
583
00:34:31,172 --> 00:34:34,700
Aaron's truck is stuck
in the middle of the cut
584
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:36,724
and it's causing a traffic jam.
585
00:34:44,793 --> 00:34:46,113
Make sure your
depths are all locked,
586
00:34:46,137 --> 00:34:47,551
and you slowly go with him.
587
00:34:53,137 --> 00:34:54,448
First dropper in.
588
00:35:35,137 --> 00:35:36,206
You're all good to go.
589
00:35:37,137 --> 00:35:38,596
You're the first one here
590
00:35:38,620 --> 00:35:41,251
in the Indian this
year, to get stuck.
591
00:35:41,275 --> 00:35:44,424
I kind of assumed that I
wasn't gonna be the first one.
592
00:35:44,448 --> 00:35:46,493
But apparently, I was.
593
00:35:46,517 --> 00:35:49,148
And I'm not too upset about it.
594
00:35:49,172 --> 00:35:51,344
I won't be the last for
sure this certain season.
595
00:36:07,517 --> 00:36:09,976
Nearly six weeks
into the season,
596
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,137
the beets finally hit pay
dirt at the Indian river.
597
00:36:21,103 --> 00:36:22,103
Yeah.
598
00:36:23,034 --> 00:36:24,034
Yeah.
599
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Yeah.
600
00:36:30,965 --> 00:36:32,000
Like mommy's necklace.
601
00:36:34,241 --> 00:36:35,665
Tony gathers the family
602
00:36:35,689 --> 00:36:38,803
to pan for the first
gold at Indian river
603
00:36:38,827 --> 00:36:40,620
in over four years.
604
00:36:48,482 --> 00:36:49,907
I hope so.
605
00:36:49,931 --> 00:36:51,724
Make it worth coming
back here anyways.
606
00:36:57,931 --> 00:36:59,965
You're gonna help opa pan?
607
00:37:02,448 --> 00:37:03,448
Do it.
608
00:37:09,931 --> 00:37:13,113
Tony's hoping the cut is
as rich as he remembers
609
00:37:13,137 --> 00:37:15,827
and wants to see
at least five flakes.
610
00:37:17,517 --> 00:37:19,551
One, two, three, four, six.
611
00:37:23,068 --> 00:37:24,068
This is gold.
612
00:37:24,965 --> 00:37:25,965
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
613
00:37:26,413 --> 00:37:27,413
Chunky stuff here.
614
00:37:29,517 --> 00:37:30,517
No.
615
00:37:35,931 --> 00:37:36,931
Yeah.
616
00:37:41,413 --> 00:37:43,389
It's nice coming back
617
00:37:43,413 --> 00:37:45,665
to know that we have
a cut prepared, ready,
618
00:37:45,689 --> 00:37:48,206
and all we need to do is set
up a box and run that through.
619
00:37:49,172 --> 00:37:52,734
Tony must now race
to set up a wash plant
620
00:37:52,758 --> 00:37:57,596
if he has any hope of hitting
his 6,000 ounce season goal.
621
00:37:57,620 --> 00:37:59,379
Yeah, that's gold.
622
00:38:11,275 --> 00:38:12,355
Coming up
623
00:38:12,379 --> 00:38:13,976
I'm gonna see if we
can find some gold.
624
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,010
A pan holds the key...
Just gotta find Parker.
625
00:38:17,034 --> 00:38:18,562
To Parker's future.
626
00:38:18,586 --> 00:38:22,079
You are our only hope for making
any money at this place right now.
627
00:38:22,103 --> 00:38:24,079
And has Rick got enough gold
628
00:38:24,103 --> 00:38:26,458
to keep his come back on track?
629
00:38:26,482 --> 00:38:28,655
Three, four, six,
630
00:38:29,103 --> 00:38:30,655
seven, nine...
631
00:38:40,172 --> 00:38:43,493
Tony's got a surprise
for daughter, Monica
632
00:38:43,517 --> 00:38:45,172
and granddaughter, Jasmine.
633
00:38:46,448 --> 00:38:47,758
Do you like the wall, baby?
634
00:38:48,206 --> 00:38:49,206
What colors?
635
00:38:50,068 --> 00:38:51,068
Orange.
636
00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:53,424
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
637
00:38:53,448 --> 00:38:55,389
Well, we're gonna live out here
638
00:38:55,413 --> 00:38:57,389
this summer and
hopefully, next summer
639
00:38:57,413 --> 00:38:59,803
and probably the
one after that, too.
640
00:38:59,827 --> 00:39:02,310
I mean, as long as
somebody will hire me, I guess.
641
00:39:07,103 --> 00:39:08,586
What color are
you gonna paint it?
642
00:39:11,965 --> 00:39:12,839
Yellow!
643
00:39:12,863 --> 00:39:14,113
Yellow?
644
00:39:14,137 --> 00:39:15,793
- Yes!
- Woah!
645
00:39:16,586 --> 00:39:18,527
You want the shark pillow?
646
00:39:18,551 --> 00:39:20,379
- No.
- Okay, we'll go for the back then.
647
00:39:20,827 --> 00:39:21,827
Perfect.
648
00:39:23,034 --> 00:39:24,803
Okay.
649
00:39:24,827 --> 00:39:25,803
Say bye, opa.
650
00:39:25,827 --> 00:39:26,770
Bye.
651
00:39:26,794 --> 00:39:28,655
- Love you.
- Love you.
652
00:39:37,862 --> 00:39:40,000
I'm in and out of bed
rocking areas, so...
653
00:39:41,655 --> 00:39:42,665
Just gonna take some pans
654
00:39:42,689 --> 00:39:45,241
and see what kind
of colors we see here.
655
00:39:47,827 --> 00:39:51,631
After three days of
clearing overburden gravels
656
00:39:51,655 --> 00:39:54,068
with the 750 and 480,
657
00:39:55,068 --> 00:39:57,769
Tyson has finally hit bedrock
658
00:39:57,793 --> 00:39:59,413
in the unforgiven cut.
659
00:40:03,724 --> 00:40:05,113
The majority of the gold
660
00:40:05,137 --> 00:40:07,907
is in the last six
inches of gravel,
661
00:40:07,931 --> 00:40:09,562
and the first six
inches of bedrock.
662
00:40:09,586 --> 00:40:10,907
But yeah, let's do some panning
663
00:40:10,931 --> 00:40:12,320
and see if we can find some gold
664
00:40:12,344 --> 00:40:13,424
and maybe make a dent
665
00:40:13,448 --> 00:40:15,965
in the big debt Parker acquired.
666
00:40:18,551 --> 00:40:21,010
The last time
Parker panned here,
667
00:40:21,034 --> 00:40:23,724
he only found four tiny colors.
668
00:40:33,137 --> 00:40:35,217
You can see there's
one, there's two,
669
00:40:35,241 --> 00:40:37,148
there's three, there's
four, there's five
670
00:40:37,172 --> 00:40:38,758
and there's, like,
ten in this pan.
671
00:40:40,034 --> 00:40:42,907
More than double
Parker's last pan.
672
00:40:42,931 --> 00:40:47,320
A clear sign that Tyson
has finally hit gold rich pay.
673
00:40:47,344 --> 00:40:48,724
Just gotta find Parker.
674
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,120
It's time to start sluicing.
675
00:41:03,517 --> 00:41:04,562
What's up?
676
00:41:04,586 --> 00:41:06,976
So, in the unforgiven
cut, now it's down to pay.
677
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,941
Just wanted to see if
it was all right with you
678
00:41:08,965 --> 00:41:10,941
if I start dragging
sluicifer down there
679
00:41:10,965 --> 00:41:12,605
in the conveyors and
getting that set up.
680
00:41:13,379 --> 00:41:15,137
Do you want a wash
plant in there now?
681
00:41:16,793 --> 00:41:18,148
Yeah, that would be good.
682
00:41:18,172 --> 00:41:19,389
Just be careful.
683
00:41:19,413 --> 00:41:20,527
- You know?
- For sure.
684
00:41:20,551 --> 00:41:22,113
Down there without
a lot of support,
685
00:41:22,137 --> 00:41:23,596
so if you need
help with anything,
686
00:41:23,620 --> 00:41:25,148
don't be afraid to ask
for some of these guys
687
00:41:25,172 --> 00:41:26,355
to come down and
give you a hand.
688
00:41:26,379 --> 00:41:28,251
- Okay.
- I mean, I rather not.
689
00:41:28,275 --> 00:41:29,149
Yeah, for sure.
690
00:41:29,173 --> 00:41:30,527
- What we're trying to...
- I
691
00:41:30,551 --> 00:41:32,803
I would really like you to be
self-sufficient down there, but...
692
00:41:32,827 --> 00:41:35,631
So, if I can take anything
off your shoulders,
693
00:41:35,655 --> 00:41:37,700
- that's what I'm here for.
- You are, and I appreciate it.
694
00:41:37,724 --> 00:41:39,424
- No worries.
- You're doing a great job down there.
695
00:41:39,448 --> 00:41:41,010
Thanks, man.
696
00:41:41,034 --> 00:41:42,907
You're our only hope for making
any money at this place right now,
697
00:41:42,931 --> 00:41:44,079
so get that thing running.
698
00:41:44,103 --> 00:41:45,562
Yeah. Ten for.
699
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:47,068
All righty, take care, man.
700
00:41:50,620 --> 00:41:51,976
I need people that I can trust
701
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,286
and Tyson is one of
the top ones, you know?
702
00:41:54,310 --> 00:41:56,113
So, him getting sluicifer
going down there
703
00:41:56,137 --> 00:41:57,769
would be a big help
704
00:41:57,793 --> 00:42:00,838
as far as keeping
this place afloat
705
00:42:00,862 --> 00:42:03,355
and get us making more money
than we're spending for once
706
00:42:03,379 --> 00:42:05,286
in this season.
707
00:42:05,310 --> 00:42:07,655
It's time to get sluicifer
catching some gold.
708
00:42:21,586 --> 00:42:22,976
We were down for a little while.
709
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,389
You can't run without water.
710
00:42:24,413 --> 00:42:26,586
There's... you know,
what can you do?
711
00:42:28,275 --> 00:42:29,275
Well, hey!
712
00:42:30,586 --> 00:42:32,872
So, it doesn't look too bad for,
you know, the amount of hours
713
00:42:32,896 --> 00:42:34,665
- that we ran through this week.
- Yep.
714
00:42:34,689 --> 00:42:36,769
Rick lost four days of sluicing
715
00:42:36,793 --> 00:42:40,182
after his water
pump blew a gasket.
716
00:42:40,206 --> 00:42:42,251
Yeah, it ain't much, it barely
covers the bottom of the pan.
717
00:42:42,275 --> 00:42:44,562
But... the new pump
is a lot of money.
718
00:42:44,586 --> 00:42:47,068
You pulled that miracle out
of your ass rather quickly.
719
00:42:47,931 --> 00:42:49,344
I got miracles up there, buzz.
720
00:42:51,896 --> 00:42:54,896
Pretty impressive.
721
00:42:57,931 --> 00:42:59,320
It had to be done.
722
00:42:59,344 --> 00:43:01,251
Well, it's a little more fuel-efficient
and everything like that.
723
00:43:01,275 --> 00:43:03,241
Also, fuel-efficient
and we forgot to fuel it.
724
00:43:05,896 --> 00:43:09,286
By all rights, we should have
been down all week if not longer.
725
00:43:09,310 --> 00:43:11,907
So, you know, whatever
we've got I'm happy with.
726
00:43:11,931 --> 00:43:12,931
Yeah.
727
00:43:13,206 --> 00:43:14,206
Yeah, here we go.
728
00:43:14,931 --> 00:43:19,044
To cover costs and build
up funds for new iron,
729
00:43:19,068 --> 00:43:20,976
Rick's looking for the stockpile
730
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,907
to deliver 20 ounces.
731
00:43:22,931 --> 00:43:29,000
Three, four, six,
seven, nine, eleven.
732
00:43:29,517 --> 00:43:33,907
We're at 12.33.
733
00:43:33,931 --> 00:43:36,631
- 12.33.
- Nice.
734
00:43:36,655 --> 00:43:39,010
Less than Rick's goal,
735
00:43:39,034 --> 00:43:42,389
but enough to keep
fighting another day.
736
00:43:42,413 --> 00:43:44,251
That's still good just
for a couple days.
737
00:43:44,275 --> 00:43:45,620
It's just shy of 20 grand.
738
00:43:46,103 --> 00:43:46,942
Yep.
739
00:43:46,966 --> 00:43:48,586
Wish that pump was
just shy of 20 grand.
740
00:43:50,034 --> 00:43:51,320
But it wasn't.
741
00:43:51,344 --> 00:43:53,320
But we could have had no gold.
742
00:43:53,344 --> 00:43:56,458
Yeah. We could have had
no gold for a couple of weeks...
743
00:43:56,482 --> 00:43:57,769
- Yep.
- If not longer.
744
00:43:57,793 --> 00:43:59,355
- Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
745
00:43:59,379 --> 00:44:01,803
Seventy seven and
a half ounces, I think
746
00:44:01,827 --> 00:44:04,148
is what our total is
now with that 12.3.
747
00:44:04,172 --> 00:44:08,044
Worth $155,000.
748
00:44:08,068 --> 00:44:09,941
That's... I think
that's great for
749
00:44:09,965 --> 00:44:11,596
I mean, it's been
such a small crew.
750
00:44:11,620 --> 00:44:12,620
Yep.
751
00:44:13,482 --> 00:44:15,044
It's well over
100 grand of gold.
752
00:44:15,068 --> 00:44:16,562
And we're not even
running at full capacity,
753
00:44:16,586 --> 00:44:18,010
like, not even close.
754
00:44:18,034 --> 00:44:20,286
And we will be
at a certain point,
755
00:44:20,310 --> 00:44:21,310
that I promise.
756
00:44:22,172 --> 00:44:23,700
Guys don't get that in a season.
757
00:44:23,724 --> 00:44:25,182
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
758
00:44:25,206 --> 00:44:26,769
We'll have to up
these, obviously,
759
00:44:26,793 --> 00:44:27,907
you know, to get
to 1,000 ounces,
760
00:44:27,931 --> 00:44:29,251
we'll never get there,
761
00:44:29,275 --> 00:44:31,079
you know, with 12
ounces at a time.
762
00:44:31,103 --> 00:44:32,872
But if we keep hammering at it
763
00:44:32,896 --> 00:44:34,596
and we get few more people here,
764
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:37,113
some more machines
we'll up the tempo
765
00:44:37,137 --> 00:44:38,010
and more gold will follow.
766
00:44:38,034 --> 00:44:38,908
All right?
767
00:44:38,932 --> 00:44:40,044
- Hell, yeah.
- Thanks a lot, guys.
768
00:44:40,068 --> 00:44:41,182
- Thanks for the week.
- You're welcome.
769
00:44:41,206 --> 00:44:42,206
Cheers!
770
00:44:45,206 --> 00:44:47,010
Not a great week as far
as how much gold we got.
771
00:44:47,034 --> 00:44:49,079
But I got a monster
of a new pump
772
00:44:49,103 --> 00:44:51,217
that's gonna save us
for the rest of the year.
773
00:44:51,241 --> 00:44:53,251
And my crew really came together
774
00:44:53,275 --> 00:44:55,010
which is good to see
'cause we really need that.
775
00:44:55,034 --> 00:44:57,551
And, you know, next week
we get more sluicing time,
776
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,113
we get more gold.
777
00:44:59,137 --> 00:45:01,377
'Cause that's what we're
gonna need to hit 1,000 ounces.
