Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,586 --> 00:00:11,172
Basically just another
day near Valdez, Alaska.
2
00:00:11,206 --> 00:00:14,241
Came all the way up
here to Alaska.
3
00:00:14,275 --> 00:00:15,827
We're not seeing the gold,
4
00:00:15,862 --> 00:00:17,517
and it's starting
to stress me out.
5
00:00:17,551 --> 00:00:22,206
The path we cut
has been delivering some gold.
6
00:00:22,241 --> 00:00:25,310
You know, we need
the most bang for our buck.
7
00:00:25,344 --> 00:00:26,724
We've been here
about a month.
8
00:00:28,137 --> 00:00:30,551
But right now,
we're not getting enough gold.
9
00:00:30,586 --> 00:00:33,000
I thought we should have been
double the amount of gold
that we're at right now,
10
00:00:34,586 --> 00:00:35,793
so we've gotta make
some money,
11
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:37,620
we've gotta get some gold
this year.
12
00:00:41,586 --> 00:00:43,241
Do you hear me, Chris?
13
00:00:43,275 --> 00:00:44,827
Kill the pump.
14
00:00:53,896 --> 00:00:55,068
Full clean-up tonight.
15
00:00:56,655 --> 00:01:00,137
We need a good gold weigh.
16
00:01:00,172 --> 00:01:02,724
Maybe God's smiling on us
this week.
17
00:01:02,758 --> 00:01:04,551
Maybe.
18
00:01:05,931 --> 00:01:08,034
Holy *bleep*!
19
00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,206
Look at that
big son of a *bleep*.
20
00:01:10,241 --> 00:01:11,137
Boom!
21
00:01:11,172 --> 00:01:14,241
Oh, my God! Whoo!
22
00:01:14,275 --> 00:01:16,862
No way!
23
00:01:16,896 --> 00:01:19,620
Isn't that pretty sweet?
24
00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:21,034
That's the biggest nugget
we've found.
25
00:01:21,068 --> 00:01:23,000
That's a nice piece
of gold, dude.
26
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:26,068
Well done, fat ass!
27
00:01:26,103 --> 00:01:26,965
I'm happy.
28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
That's a hell of a nugget,
right there.
29
00:01:29,034 --> 00:01:30,137
Boom, baby!
30
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:59,068
So we're off
to a really rough start
this season.
31
00:01:59,103 --> 00:02:00,827
But the good news is
32
00:02:00,862 --> 00:02:03,758
the Roach has run
uninterrupted for a few days.
33
00:02:03,793 --> 00:02:05,896
We're starting to manage
the water,
34
00:02:05,931 --> 00:02:08,517
and I feel like we're starting
to figure all this out.
35
00:02:12,517 --> 00:02:13,586
Last week,
36
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:15,758
the crew shut down Old Dan,
37
00:02:15,793 --> 00:02:17,517
its slower wash plant,
38
00:02:17,551 --> 00:02:19,793
to increase production
for the ravenous Roach,
39
00:02:19,827 --> 00:02:23,448
but still the gold failed
to flow.
40
00:02:23,482 --> 00:02:26,827
Last week's gold weigh
was pretty disappointing.
41
00:02:26,862 --> 00:02:30,931
Eighteen ounces in a week
is unacceptable.
42
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:33,655
I gotta get to bedrock,
43
00:02:34,862 --> 00:02:36,241
or at least deeper, just
44
00:02:36,275 --> 00:02:37,931
hopefully getting
to some better pay.
45
00:02:39,275 --> 00:02:41,137
And I know it's better
down deeper,
46
00:02:41,172 --> 00:02:43,862
because that's where
Dave and Nate
47
00:02:43,896 --> 00:02:46,896
holed their
prospect samples from.
48
00:02:46,931 --> 00:02:49,517
For Chris to keep
the dirt moving...
49
00:02:49,551 --> 00:02:51,862
The Roach
has been off.
50
00:02:51,896 --> 00:02:56,172
I mean, it'll munch through
whatever you put in it.
51
00:02:56,206 --> 00:03:00,689
...Jason and Casey
must deliver 100 yards
every hour,
52
00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:03,413
three times the pay needed
for Old Dan.
53
00:03:09,344 --> 00:03:11,517
Hey, Morgan, you got copy?
54
00:03:11,551 --> 00:03:13,137
Yeah, go ahead.
55
00:03:13,172 --> 00:03:15,172
How are we doing
with pay up there?
56
00:03:15,206 --> 00:03:17,724
Are we keeping up with them,
or are we passing 'em?
57
00:03:17,758 --> 00:03:18,551
How's it looking?
58
00:03:19,413 --> 00:03:20,586
Staying tight.
59
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:22,551
You're a little bit ahead
at times, but...
60
00:03:23,862 --> 00:03:24,758
We're not gaining?
61
00:03:26,034 --> 00:03:27,310
Not by much.
62
00:03:27,344 --> 00:03:29,448
I mean, he's staying
neck and neck with us
right now.
63
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:32,896
*bleep* me!
64
00:03:34,034 --> 00:03:35,862
We're getting
our butts handed to us.
65
00:03:35,896 --> 00:03:37,586
They're running out of pay
at The Roach,
66
00:03:39,379 --> 00:03:41,344
and we're not keeping up
with the pay.
67
00:03:41,379 --> 00:03:42,689
And it's killing me.
68
00:03:42,724 --> 00:03:44,068
I mean,
it is absolutely killing me,
69
00:03:44,103 --> 00:03:47,034
and it's all due
to this damn Grizzly,
right here,
70
00:03:47,068 --> 00:03:49,310
this extra handling *bleep*.
71
00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:54,551
All season,
72
00:03:54,586 --> 00:03:57,413
the crew has pre-screened
the material
73
00:03:57,448 --> 00:03:59,448
to keep bigger rocks
out of the pay pile
74
00:03:59,482 --> 00:04:02,620
that Casey then ships
to The Roach.
75
00:04:02,655 --> 00:04:05,344
I've had to make sure
that I keep pay going.
76
00:04:05,379 --> 00:04:07,655
But screening
the dirt twice
77
00:04:07,689 --> 00:04:10,655
leaves The Roach hungry
for more pay.
78
00:04:17,517 --> 00:04:18,896
We've gotta get
more efficient,
79
00:04:18,931 --> 00:04:20,827
get more material run
through The Roach.
80
00:04:20,862 --> 00:04:24,275
And I've got an idea
that I wanna share with Nate.
81
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:26,896
I don't know how popular
of an idea it'll be,
82
00:04:26,931 --> 00:04:28,310
but I gotta run it by him.
83
00:04:37,172 --> 00:04:38,551
Howdy.
84
00:04:38,586 --> 00:04:39,448
- Hey.
- All right.
85
00:04:40,862 --> 00:04:42,724
It's taking too long
in the pit.
86
00:04:42,758 --> 00:04:45,655
Those guys are double-handling
everything,
87
00:04:47,068 --> 00:04:49,862
and they can't keep up,
so I was wondering...
88
00:04:51,413 --> 00:04:54,793
I think I'm gonna pull
that Grizzly outta the pit
89
00:04:54,827 --> 00:04:58,137
and just have Chris load
straight onto this Grizzly.
90
00:04:58,172 --> 00:04:59,068
Right now, I'm not...
91
00:05:01,862 --> 00:05:03,241
Last season,
92
00:05:03,275 --> 00:05:04,827
the Roach took a beating
93
00:05:04,862 --> 00:05:07,172
from large, awkward
Colorado boulders.
94
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:09,068
That gets into the Roach...
95
00:05:09,103 --> 00:05:10,172
It's done.
96
00:05:10,206 --> 00:05:11,137
...we're gonna destroy
the Roach.
97
00:05:12,862 --> 00:05:16,241
But with
his new $500,000 wash plant,
98
00:05:16,275 --> 00:05:18,586
the Eagle, in transit,
99
00:05:20,103 --> 00:05:22,241
Dave decides to take a risk
100
00:05:22,275 --> 00:05:24,482
to catch up on the gold.
101
00:05:24,517 --> 00:05:26,827
Everybody around here said
winter could come early.
102
00:05:26,862 --> 00:05:29,517
I wanna try to get as much
through this plant as we can
103
00:05:29,551 --> 00:05:31,448
as quickly as we can.
104
00:05:33,448 --> 00:05:34,724
If you want to gamble it,
105
00:05:34,758 --> 00:05:35,827
trust me, I'm up beside.
106
00:05:35,862 --> 00:05:38,172
- All right, I'll go tell Jake.
- Okay.
107
00:05:39,827 --> 00:05:41,448
I want you to be careful
walking across.
108
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:44,275
You're a real professional.
109
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:45,241
Thank you.
110
00:05:45,275 --> 00:05:47,275
It's just pre-production,
I'm flat-out.
111
00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:49,655
The thing is,
it might slow us down here.
112
00:05:49,689 --> 00:05:51,275
We'll have to see how it does,
113
00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:53,448
how these big rocks handle
on the Grizzly,
114
00:05:53,482 --> 00:05:54,655
but it could slow us down,
115
00:05:54,689 --> 00:05:56,931
so it could be
a double-edged sword.
116
00:05:56,965 --> 00:05:59,344
I guess Dave and I will take
the heat on it,
117
00:05:59,379 --> 00:06:00,724
but we got to.
118
00:06:00,758 --> 00:06:01,620
We got to.
119
00:06:04,379 --> 00:06:05,586
There's always pressure
on me,
120
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,206
regardless of where I'm at.
121
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:10,000
You know, it's just
a different way I have to look
at things.
122
00:06:10,034 --> 00:06:12,586
Our production is
our goal for our families,
123
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:13,965
and not just mine,
it's everybody's,
124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,724
so you just gotta
keep on pushing forward.
125
00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:25,310
You know,
I agree with Dave 100%.
126
00:06:25,344 --> 00:06:27,965
I hated the Grizzly bar system
down here,
127
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,620
but he's left
quite a bit of responsibility
128
00:06:31,655 --> 00:06:35,724
as far as not letting
any big rocks
really get to that plant.
129
00:06:37,172 --> 00:06:39,965
See, I don't wanna send
this down.
130
00:06:43,172 --> 00:06:45,000
I don't think it's
the best idea
131
00:06:45,034 --> 00:06:47,000
to take the Grizzly bars
out of the circuit.
132
00:06:47,034 --> 00:06:48,793
It's not ideal.
133
00:06:48,827 --> 00:06:51,103
These bigger rocks can damage
our Grizzly bars.
134
00:06:51,137 --> 00:06:53,310
Then what are we gonna do?
135
00:06:53,344 --> 00:06:55,275
Man, I try to talk about it,
but no one listens.
136
00:07:29,551 --> 00:07:32,551
And this rain
is really kicking our ass.
137
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:37,137
A massive overnight
rainstorm continues to flood
the valley.
138
00:07:37,172 --> 00:07:38,965
Water tables rose so much.
139
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,965
It's stressful,
it's wearing everybody out.
140
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:44,275
The amount of rain
we had last night,
141
00:07:44,310 --> 00:07:46,517
it was ridiculous.
142
00:07:46,551 --> 00:07:49,137
This morning, when I went
to go wake Nate up,
143
00:07:49,172 --> 00:07:51,862
I could count
seven new waterfalls
coming down the mountain
144
00:07:51,896 --> 00:07:53,482
that were not there.
145
00:07:59,103 --> 00:08:01,068
We got a lot of water
running through camp.
146
00:08:02,586 --> 00:08:04,413
This is not normal.
147
00:08:04,448 --> 00:08:05,793
Now we're getting warm rain
148
00:08:05,827 --> 00:08:08,275
and the glaciers are melting
above us,
149
00:08:10,827 --> 00:08:13,931
which adds
that much more water
to those waterfalls.
150
00:08:13,965 --> 00:08:16,310
We got a waterfall
right above us,
151
00:08:16,344 --> 00:08:19,241
but I think something shifted
last night,
152
00:08:19,275 --> 00:08:22,000
and if it cuts through
one of those banks
153
00:08:22,034 --> 00:08:24,241
and heads this way,
we're in deep trouble.
154
00:08:25,206 --> 00:08:26,896
So what we're gonna do is,
155
00:08:26,931 --> 00:08:29,206
I'm gonna grab
one of the camera guys
with the drone.
156
00:08:29,241 --> 00:08:32,827
We're gonna fly up to see
where that water's changing.
157
00:08:36,448 --> 00:08:38,000
- Go up here a little bit.
- Yeah.
158
00:08:43,965 --> 00:08:45,965
Yeah, right there,
where it splits.
159
00:08:48,172 --> 00:08:49,758
That's intense.
160
00:08:50,344 --> 00:08:51,103
Wow.
161
00:08:52,448 --> 00:08:53,862
Look at that.
162
00:08:53,896 --> 00:08:56,586
- Yeah, right there. See where it's diverted?
- Mmm-hmm.
163
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:58,965
- And we got so much coming down towards camp.
- It's a little closer.
164
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,655
It used to be
the majority of the water
went that way.
165
00:09:01,689 --> 00:09:03,068
Something's shifted up there.
166
00:09:06,896 --> 00:09:08,482
Torrential rainfall,
167
00:09:08,517 --> 00:09:12,827
melting glaciers and snowcaps
overwhelm the valley
with water,
168
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:16,344
unleashing new waterfalls
169
00:09:16,379 --> 00:09:20,931
and transforming existing ones
into raging rivers.
170
00:09:20,965 --> 00:09:24,379
One fall, located directly
above the mine site,
171
00:09:24,413 --> 00:09:26,620
has dramatically
changed course,
172
00:09:26,655 --> 00:09:29,137
and now heads for the claim.
173
00:09:38,655 --> 00:09:41,034
We're really about
three or four rocks
174
00:09:41,068 --> 00:09:43,000
from the water coming
down here,
175
00:09:43,034 --> 00:09:44,689
and if you turn and look there,
176
00:09:44,724 --> 00:09:45,551
there's our camp.
177
00:09:46,655 --> 00:09:48,344
There's our access road.
178
00:09:49,551 --> 00:09:52,172
If that water cuts,
we're in trouble.
179
00:09:53,206 --> 00:09:54,689
We got trailers down there,
180
00:09:54,724 --> 00:09:56,310
we've got our gold room...
181
00:09:56,344 --> 00:09:57,310
Well, everything's down there.
182
00:10:01,965 --> 00:10:03,586
Hey, guys,
I need to talk to you
real quick.
183
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:04,793
This is no*bleep* .
184
00:10:04,827 --> 00:10:06,551
We have a serious problem.
185
00:10:06,586 --> 00:10:08,827
This waterfalls shifting, and
186
00:10:08,862 --> 00:10:11,068
if this sends all the water
towards camp,
187
00:10:11,103 --> 00:10:12,482
we are screwed.
188
00:10:12,517 --> 00:10:13,965
- This is no *bleep*.
- This is no--
189
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,413
Hell, I mean,
he's not kidding, dude.
190
00:10:17,413 --> 00:10:19,206
I may have
to evacuate people.
191
00:10:19,241 --> 00:10:21,517
- He's talking about evacuation.
- Yeah.
192
00:10:21,551 --> 00:10:22,896
Production...
193
00:10:22,931 --> 00:10:24,275
Production, you guys
are probably...
194
00:10:24,310 --> 00:10:27,241
And I had the medic get on
the radio,
195
00:10:27,275 --> 00:10:28,931
but we need every one
of your Chevys
196
00:10:28,965 --> 00:10:31,379
on that side of the waterfall,
197
00:10:31,413 --> 00:10:32,965
and be ready for evacuation.
198
00:10:37,586 --> 00:10:38,655
Coming up...
199
00:10:38,689 --> 00:10:40,724
See, it wants
to turn a corner.
200
00:10:40,758 --> 00:10:42,413
If you could get in there...
201
00:10:42,448 --> 00:10:44,172
...desperate times...
202
00:10:44,206 --> 00:10:46,034
I gotta take this girl
up there.
203
00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,620
...call
for desperate miners.
204
00:10:48,655 --> 00:10:51,000
Our lives sit just below this.
205
00:10:52,551 --> 00:10:55,586
If there's no camp,
there's no season.
206
00:10:59,827 --> 00:11:01,034
I gotta go,
we're about to lose camp.
207
00:11:04,172 --> 00:11:05,689
Hey, Jason.
208
00:11:05,724 --> 00:11:07,689
Might have to break a 380
up here.
209
00:11:07,724 --> 00:11:09,275
Right now, there's the chance
210
00:11:09,310 --> 00:11:13,275
we could wash out the road
into camp and out of camp.
211
00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:15,655
Therefore, we're trying to fix
the problem.
212
00:11:15,689 --> 00:11:17,586
I gotta take this girl
up there.
213
00:11:18,413 --> 00:11:20,172
The severity of this one
214
00:11:20,206 --> 00:11:22,620
and what it does
to the operation,
215
00:11:22,655 --> 00:11:25,137
as well as our camp,
there's no measure.
216
00:11:34,931 --> 00:11:36,862
But we gotta move
the generator over,
217
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:38,620
just in case the water
comes this way.
218
00:11:39,827 --> 00:11:41,551
Oh!
219
00:11:41,586 --> 00:11:43,172
This is not good.
220
00:11:43,206 --> 00:11:45,103
You gotta move the *bleep*
outta here.
221
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:46,482
*bleep* no joke.
222
00:11:46,517 --> 00:11:48,000
Day two of this storm,
here we go.
223
00:11:49,310 --> 00:11:52,965
With 200 days
of rain and snowfall a year,
224
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,827
the area around Valdez is
one of the wettest places
in Alaska,
225
00:11:59,413 --> 00:12:03,896
where atmospheric pressure
and violent weather fronts
in the Pacific Ocean
226
00:12:03,931 --> 00:12:05,413
carry inland.
227
00:12:07,275 --> 00:12:08,827
In 2020,
228
00:12:08,862 --> 00:12:14,172
a massive rainstorm saw
record-breaking levels
of rainfall across Alaska.
229
00:12:14,206 --> 00:12:18,000
Landslides, avalanches
and flooding wiped out roads,
230
00:12:18,034 --> 00:12:19,517
destroyed homes
231
00:12:19,551 --> 00:12:21,793
and triggered
multiple evacuations.
232
00:12:27,965 --> 00:12:29,620
This is real *bleep*.
233
00:12:29,655 --> 00:12:31,620
See, it wants to turn
a corner.
234
00:12:31,655 --> 00:12:33,862
If you could get in there...
235
00:12:33,896 --> 00:12:36,310
Now it's on Jason
and Dave
236
00:12:36,344 --> 00:12:38,689
to go toe to toe
with Mother Nature.
237
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:41,206
Bring that over and see
if you can cut this corner,
238
00:12:41,241 --> 00:12:42,827
'cause otherwise it cuts
through there.
239
00:12:44,241 --> 00:12:47,448
I mean, really, it's only
a foot away from going.
240
00:12:47,482 --> 00:12:51,275
I think you can reach over
and just keep pulling
your big stuff over.
241
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:54,206
- And take her a little deeper, as well.
- Yeah, yeah.
242
00:12:54,241 --> 00:12:55,758
We gotta get this thing
armored up,
243
00:12:55,793 --> 00:12:57,137
get that water kicked over
244
00:12:57,172 --> 00:12:58,310
and down to the culvert,
245
00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:00,103
otherwise I lose my road.
246
00:13:00,137 --> 00:13:02,275
We lose the road,
247
00:13:02,310 --> 00:13:05,000
you know, I lose any chance
of getting the Eagle in here
248
00:13:05,034 --> 00:13:06,482
and basically lose the season.
249
00:13:09,172 --> 00:13:10,517
Dave's plan,
250
00:13:10,551 --> 00:13:14,517
pack the edge of the stream
with large boulders and rocks,
251
00:13:14,551 --> 00:13:17,965
rediverting it along the side
of the access road
252
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,448
and under a culvert.
253
00:13:21,862 --> 00:13:25,517
But if the water breaches
the bank before he can fix it,
254
00:13:25,551 --> 00:13:28,896
the super-strength torrent
could cut off the access road
255
00:13:28,931 --> 00:13:31,034
and potentially flood
the camp,
256
00:13:31,068 --> 00:13:33,344
isolating and shutting down
the mine.
257
00:13:39,275 --> 00:13:41,827
If there's no road,
258
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:44,068
there's no season.
259
00:13:44,103 --> 00:13:47,068
Some days I feel like
a fireman more than a miner,
260
00:13:47,103 --> 00:13:48,965
just running around,
putting fires out.
261
00:13:53,241 --> 00:13:54,931
We're four seasons in,
262
00:13:54,965 --> 00:13:58,172
and as far as coming up
against the elements,
263
00:13:58,206 --> 00:14:00,689
Alaska has been
our hardest one so far.
264
00:14:00,724 --> 00:14:05,551
It has a danger factor
that we definitely don't have
in Montana.
265
00:14:08,724 --> 00:14:10,827
Landslides,
they're quite prevalent,
266
00:14:10,862 --> 00:14:13,172
and the water
in this Glacier Creek mine,
267
00:14:13,206 --> 00:14:14,724
it's putting me to the test.
268
00:14:14,758 --> 00:14:15,896
It is its own beast.
269
00:14:24,517 --> 00:14:27,793
I'm feeling a lot better
about what I'm seeing now.
270
00:14:28,931 --> 00:14:30,379
You know, we've got
a good channel,
271
00:14:30,413 --> 00:14:34,241
we got a much better berm
keeping that water in,
272
00:14:34,275 --> 00:14:37,172
directing it
and controlling it.
273
00:14:37,206 --> 00:14:41,068
You know, we built it up,
compacted it in, added rock.
274
00:14:44,655 --> 00:14:45,586
Feeling pretty good.
275
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:54,517
It's built up
and pretty shored up,
276
00:14:54,551 --> 00:14:56,724
and packed it in,
lots of rock added,
277
00:14:56,758 --> 00:14:57,793
looking good up here.
278
00:14:57,827 --> 00:14:59,034
This looks pretty good now.
279
00:14:59,068 --> 00:15:00,758
I thought...
I was pretty happy with it.
280
00:15:00,793 --> 00:15:01,827
Safe for a while.
281
00:15:07,724 --> 00:15:09,137
All right, guys.
282
00:15:09,172 --> 00:15:10,241
We're done up here.
283
00:15:10,275 --> 00:15:13,379
I think we've averted
a catastrophe.
284
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,034
I think camp is safe.
285
00:15:15,068 --> 00:15:16,448
Jason's on his way down.
286
00:15:16,482 --> 00:15:18,586
We'll start digging some pay.
Let's fire up and go.
287
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:20,206
All right. Good job, guys.
I think we're good.
288
00:15:20,758 --> 00:15:21,620
Oh-ho!
289
00:15:22,137 --> 00:15:23,310
Whoo!
290
00:15:23,344 --> 00:15:25,137
That'll put a smile
on your face any day
of the week.
291
00:15:25,172 --> 00:15:25,965
Ten-four.
292
00:15:26,827 --> 00:15:28,000
All right, Jason. Let's go.
293
00:15:39,896 --> 00:15:41,172
We got the roads
up and running.
294
00:15:41,206 --> 00:15:42,379
We're back to bedlam.
295
00:15:42,931 --> 00:15:44,000
Jason and Dave.
296
00:15:44,034 --> 00:15:45,517
They went up and
diverted the water.
297
00:15:46,551 --> 00:15:47,724
I hope it's not a quick fix.
298
00:15:47,758 --> 00:15:49,000
I hope it's a real fix.
299
00:15:50,275 --> 00:15:52,206
We'll find out because guess what?
300
00:15:52,241 --> 00:15:53,172
Gonna be wet.
301
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:56,275
Get used to it, boys.
302
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:59,172
Well, we're up
and running, it's been
a long morning.
303
00:15:59,206 --> 00:16:00,931
But we're back sluicing.
304
00:16:00,965 --> 00:16:03,310
Not sure what the rest
of the week is gonna bring.
305
00:16:03,344 --> 00:16:04,413
It's supposed to be
a lot of rain.
306
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:08,448
I've never dealt
with a waterfall,
307
00:16:08,482 --> 00:16:10,241
and a water like that before.
308
00:16:11,172 --> 00:16:12,827
Damn, that's a lot of force.
309
00:16:12,862 --> 00:16:14,137
And right now...
310
00:16:15,241 --> 00:16:16,275
Finger's crossed,
311
00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:18,448
the water keeps going
where it's supposed to go.
312
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:32,482
Back in the cut...
313
00:16:32,517 --> 00:16:35,931
Right now, the water
has actually gained.
314
00:16:35,965 --> 00:16:39,172
We're not keeping up
even with the two-pump.
315
00:16:39,206 --> 00:16:42,000
Jason faces the
consequences of heavy rain.
316
00:16:43,241 --> 00:16:45,103
I bet you
we gained an extra
317
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:47,413
four foot of depth of water.
318
00:16:47,448 --> 00:16:49,137
I was on a mission
to get to bedrock.
319
00:16:49,172 --> 00:16:51,172
Now, I'm just on
a mission to not,
320
00:16:51,206 --> 00:16:54,000
you know, be snorkeling.
321
00:16:54,034 --> 00:16:56,793
The deluge
has raised the water table,
322
00:16:56,827 --> 00:16:59,344
leaving a flooded cut.
323
00:16:59,379 --> 00:17:01,689
This water has been
such a nightmare.
324
00:17:01,724 --> 00:17:03,551
I wanna be down there, mining.
325
00:17:04,620 --> 00:17:07,620
But I've done everything
but mine the lower pit.
326
00:17:09,034 --> 00:17:11,655
You can't do anything other
because of the water.
327
00:17:17,793 --> 00:17:19,310
Dave Turin.
You got a copy, Dave?
328
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,793
Go ahead, Jason.
329
00:17:21,827 --> 00:17:25,620
So, I just sent
the last little bit of pay
out of this cut.
330
00:17:27,241 --> 00:17:30,172
Everything else is underwater
if I go after it.
331
00:17:31,862 --> 00:17:34,413
Jason, I was hoping that
that water would be gone,
332
00:17:34,448 --> 00:17:36,103
and we'd have plenty of pay.
333
00:17:36,137 --> 00:17:37,689
You got anything else
down there?
334
00:17:38,517 --> 00:17:40,000
Dave, I have scratched up
335
00:17:40,034 --> 00:17:41,517
every little bit
of what's here.
336
00:17:42,965 --> 00:17:44,758
I've even tried going
a little more,
337
00:17:44,793 --> 00:17:47,689
and it just turns
to soup underwater.
338
00:17:47,724 --> 00:17:48,965
There's just too much rain.
339
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,344
Those bumps aren't keeping up
340
00:17:50,379 --> 00:17:52,758
so I have no pay
at this point.
341
00:17:53,413 --> 00:17:54,724
*bleep*
342
00:18:02,896 --> 00:18:04,275
Jason's runnin'
out of pay.
343
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:06,448
So, poor guy,
he's a little stressed.
344
00:18:06,482 --> 00:18:08,103
So, I'm trying to
help him out.
345
00:18:08,137 --> 00:18:10,724
See if we can get
enough gold to the plant,
keep her runnin'.
346
00:18:12,275 --> 00:18:13,827
At Glacier Creek,
347
00:18:13,862 --> 00:18:16,172
24 hours of torrential rain
348
00:18:16,206 --> 00:18:20,172
leaves the pappy cut flooded,
and the crew out of pay.
349
00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:26,206
Jason, how about I get Nathan
350
00:18:26,241 --> 00:18:28,827
and we move Old Dan's
wash plant?
351
00:18:28,862 --> 00:18:30,310
Maybe we'll find
some pay under there?
352
00:18:30,344 --> 00:18:31,793
What do you think?
353
00:18:31,827 --> 00:18:35,206
That would be amazing
if you could do that, Dave.
354
00:18:35,241 --> 00:18:36,758
Wherever
a wash plant sat,
355
00:18:36,793 --> 00:18:39,241
there's a lot of gold
scattered around,
356
00:18:39,275 --> 00:18:41,482
because wash plants
lose gold so,
357
00:18:41,517 --> 00:18:44,655
we wanna mine all of this out,
run it through the sluice box,
358
00:18:44,689 --> 00:18:46,689
and get the gold
that Old Dan left.
359
00:18:48,448 --> 00:18:51,482
Old Dan is
stationed on higher ground.
360
00:18:51,517 --> 00:18:56,068
And for almost a decade,
ran thousands of yards
of gold-rich pay.
361
00:18:58,379 --> 00:18:59,344
Dave's theory,
362
00:18:59,379 --> 00:19:01,310
the ground around the plant
363
00:19:01,344 --> 00:19:04,241
could contain years
of runoff gold.
364
00:19:04,275 --> 00:19:05,862
So, he's banking on the ground
365
00:19:05,896 --> 00:19:08,000
under not just
the Telling's pile,
366
00:19:08,034 --> 00:19:10,482
but also beneath
the entire wash plant,
367
00:19:10,517 --> 00:19:13,862
to keep his crew in the game
long enough to drain the cut.
368
00:19:16,379 --> 00:19:17,137
Move her, Dave.
369
00:19:19,655 --> 00:19:20,448
There you go.
370
00:19:21,034 --> 00:19:22,310
Good.
371
00:19:22,344 --> 00:19:23,586
Can you pull it this way now?
372
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:25,172
Am I okay?
373
00:19:25,862 --> 00:19:27,482
Uh, turn that way?
374
00:19:27,517 --> 00:19:29,758
As Dave and Nate
move Old Dan...
375
00:19:29,793 --> 00:19:31,620
What happened?
376
00:19:32,344 --> 00:19:33,172
Morning.
377
00:19:33,931 --> 00:19:35,000
At the Roach,
378
00:19:35,034 --> 00:19:37,586
Dave's decision to remove
the pre-screeners
379
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:39,793
sees Chris battle
the Grizzly bars.
380
00:19:41,965 --> 00:19:43,586
Grizzly's just
not big enough.
381
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:45,137
I find myself...
382
00:19:45,172 --> 00:19:46,482
Having to jump
out of the loader
383
00:19:46,517 --> 00:19:47,448
and help the rocks up.
384
00:19:47,827 --> 00:19:48,620
Jammed up.
385
00:19:50,448 --> 00:19:51,241
But...
386
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,068
That's every mornin'.
387
00:19:53,931 --> 00:19:55,206
It gets frustrating.
388
00:20:05,551 --> 00:20:08,034
Okay, Andrew,
I want you to curl down
this a little bit.
389
00:20:08,068 --> 00:20:09,379
Okay, come forward.
390
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:11,931
It's good. It's good.
391
00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:14,482
No! *bleep*
392
00:20:19,724 --> 00:20:21,517
Bye, bye, Old Dan.
393
00:20:21,551 --> 00:20:24,206
It's kinda sad that
we're pulling it out.
394
00:20:26,275 --> 00:20:28,172
We got ground here.
We gotta get mining.
395
00:20:29,275 --> 00:20:30,551
That's it.
396
00:20:30,586 --> 00:20:33,689
Final resting place
for Old Dan's wash plant
served us well.
397
00:20:44,620 --> 00:20:46,586
With Old Dan moved,
398
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:49,655
Jason returns to digging
dry pay.
399
00:20:49,689 --> 00:20:51,482
Whoo-hoo! Yeah, baby!
400
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:57,793
Not used to this blue
thing in the sky.
401
00:20:57,827 --> 00:20:59,413
That yellow, burning ball.
402
00:20:59,448 --> 00:21:01,034
I don't know what's
that all about.
403
00:21:01,068 --> 00:21:03,344
Chris is now back
feeding the Roach
404
00:21:03,379 --> 00:21:06,241
100 yards of gold-rich
pay dirt every hour.
405
00:21:07,655 --> 00:21:08,896
Highway to heaven.
406
00:21:10,413 --> 00:21:12,689
Yeah, the Grizzly's giving me
a little trouble up here.
407
00:21:13,586 --> 00:21:14,793
You know,
'cause those big rocks
408
00:21:14,827 --> 00:21:16,931
just go off the backside
of the Grizzly
409
00:21:16,965 --> 00:21:18,482
and I have to discard it.
410
00:21:22,965 --> 00:21:24,931
It just makes my workload
a little bit more.
411
00:21:29,379 --> 00:21:30,379
I'm runnin' and gunnin'.
412
00:21:30,413 --> 00:21:31,413
I don't have time to think.
413
00:21:31,448 --> 00:21:32,724
I'm feeding the plant.
414
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:36,206
I have about
two minutes and 35 seconds
before it runs out.
415
00:21:36,241 --> 00:21:38,482
But I've got to take tailings
away from the plant,
416
00:21:38,517 --> 00:21:39,965
drop them off and
each time I do,
417
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,586
I get further away
from the plant.
418
00:21:41,620 --> 00:21:44,655
So, it's definitely
put a little bit of fire
underneath me.
419
00:21:46,551 --> 00:21:48,724
Yeah, it's probably not
the best way to do it.
420
00:21:48,758 --> 00:21:49,931
But, it's what we have.
421
00:21:51,206 --> 00:21:52,482
It's just a lot of hard work.
422
00:21:53,482 --> 00:21:55,517
I don't get the rest
of it for sure.
423
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:08,103
Oh, shoot!
424
00:22:10,586 --> 00:22:12,517
Dave, you got a copy?
425
00:22:12,551 --> 00:22:13,482
Go ahead, Chris.
426
00:22:22,172 --> 00:22:22,965
Ten-four.
427
00:22:37,827 --> 00:22:39,448
See those rocks?
428
00:22:39,482 --> 00:22:42,206
These rocks are too big
to be in our sluice box.
429
00:22:42,241 --> 00:22:44,172
And doesn't allow
the gold to fall.
430
00:22:44,206 --> 00:22:47,000
The only thing that should be
in our sluice box is that.
431
00:22:47,793 --> 00:22:48,724
See the difference?
432
00:22:49,896 --> 00:22:51,482
We got a problem.
433
00:22:51,517 --> 00:22:52,896
This won't last. Shut it off.
434
00:23:11,448 --> 00:23:13,275
We've got screen decks.
435
00:23:13,310 --> 00:23:14,689
Rocks keep pounding on it.
436
00:23:14,724 --> 00:23:15,517
So...
437
00:23:25,724 --> 00:23:26,551
It's *bleep*.
438
00:23:29,172 --> 00:23:32,551
With no pre-screening,
flat alluvial boulders
439
00:23:32,586 --> 00:23:34,413
slip through the Grizzlies
on the Roach.
440
00:23:35,655 --> 00:23:39,379
The constant pounding
destroys the screen decks.
441
00:23:39,413 --> 00:23:43,068
And as rocks carry through,
they block the sluice.
442
00:23:43,103 --> 00:23:45,965
Pushing gold straight
out of the box.
443
00:23:47,448 --> 00:23:49,689
We got holes in the screen.
They wore out.
444
00:23:49,724 --> 00:23:50,862
Real simple.
445
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:52,172
It's not complicated.
446
00:23:52,206 --> 00:23:53,655
And we ordered screens
three weeks ago.
447
00:23:53,689 --> 00:23:55,068
We ordered screens
three weeks ago.
448
00:23:55,103 --> 00:23:56,517
We're in Alaskan wilderness.
449
00:23:56,551 --> 00:23:57,517
We're not getting our parts.
450
00:24:06,172 --> 00:24:07,103
Could be down for...
451
00:24:07,724 --> 00:24:08,517
Till we get screen.
452
00:24:11,379 --> 00:24:13,137
So y'all might as well
just take a day off.
453
00:24:16,482 --> 00:24:17,793
Forget it, Chris.
454
00:24:17,827 --> 00:24:18,793
I think we're.
455
00:24:28,655 --> 00:24:30,000
Well, right now, we're adrift.
456
00:24:31,724 --> 00:24:34,241
We don't have parts we need.
457
00:24:34,275 --> 00:24:36,862
Maybe Nate can make
something work, but right now,
I don't know.
458
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,655
Glacier Creek, Alaska.
459
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:46,034
Dave Turin's mining operation
is at a standstill.
460
00:24:46,068 --> 00:24:47,758
I don't know. Dave's beating
the *bleep* of himself
right now.
461
00:24:47,793 --> 00:24:49,310
He's beating himself up.
462
00:24:49,344 --> 00:24:51,310
You know, he's just going,
you know, "I should--"
463
00:24:51,344 --> 00:24:52,862
Ain't nothing get done, Dave.
464
00:24:52,896 --> 00:24:54,655
- We didn't know about this property till four weeks ago.
- Right.
465
00:24:54,689 --> 00:24:56,758
You know, we had no ide
we were going to Alaska.
466
00:24:58,241 --> 00:24:59,689
We're in the lower 48.
467
00:24:59,724 --> 00:25:02,206
We had half time to get
all our stuff put in there.
468
00:25:02,241 --> 00:25:04,103
Get going, get mining.
469
00:25:04,137 --> 00:25:05,206
But we went to Alaska.
470
00:25:05,241 --> 00:25:06,482
And he's beating
himself up over it.
471
00:25:06,517 --> 00:25:07,724
And he isn't
at *bleep* fault...
472
00:25:07,758 --> 00:25:09,655
It's just how shipping
is in Alaska.
473
00:25:09,689 --> 00:25:11,655
- Right.
- That's it.
474
00:25:11,689 --> 00:25:13,931
We were rushed
into Alaska.
475
00:25:13,965 --> 00:25:16,103
The Roach wasn't fixed
before it was here.
476
00:25:16,137 --> 00:25:17,965
The screens weren't brought.
477
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,137
I'm not moving the way
I wanna move in mining.
478
00:25:21,172 --> 00:25:23,103
I feel like I have some good
479
00:25:23,137 --> 00:25:25,551
thoughts and opinions
and not even heard.
480
00:25:25,586 --> 00:25:28,241
That gets frustrating
especially when
the screens break
481
00:25:28,689 --> 00:25:29,482
three days later.
482
00:25:31,103 --> 00:25:33,896
Mechanic Nate
heads off-site
483
00:25:33,931 --> 00:25:37,103
on a search for anything to
get the crew back in business.
484
00:25:40,103 --> 00:25:42,551
I knew coming to Alaska
was going to be tough.
485
00:25:42,586 --> 00:25:44,620
But I didn't expect to have
this many problems.
486
00:25:44,655 --> 00:25:48,517
I mean, we got water
and weather and just
487
00:25:48,551 --> 00:25:50,965
being in Alaska
and finding parts and stuff,
it's tough.
488
00:25:52,862 --> 00:25:56,068
We gotta think outside the box
on how to fix something.
489
00:25:56,103 --> 00:25:57,517
You know, an Alaska bush fix.
490
00:26:08,206 --> 00:26:10,655
With the Roach down,
a break in the weather
491
00:26:10,689 --> 00:26:13,275
allows Dave to manage
water levels in the cut.
492
00:26:15,551 --> 00:26:20,896
Water's probably
our toughest thing to manage
this year.
493
00:26:20,931 --> 00:26:24,724
So, I'm trying to minimize
the amount of water coming
into our pit.
494
00:26:24,758 --> 00:26:26,965
So, if I dig this
drainage ditch,
495
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
it'll keep the water
out of our pit,
496
00:26:29,034 --> 00:26:30,206
and it drains out of here.
497
00:26:31,551 --> 00:26:34,965
That ditch is gonna
help us gain on this water.
498
00:26:36,655 --> 00:26:38,689
We have this pond
499
00:26:38,724 --> 00:26:43,517
at a level that I've not
seen it since we first arrived
here in Alaska.
500
00:26:43,551 --> 00:26:45,000
I haven't seen it this low.
501
00:26:47,758 --> 00:26:50,034
The new ditch
drains the water
502
00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:52,379
so Jason can return
to the pappy cut.
503
00:26:53,896 --> 00:26:56,103
I really think we're gonna
get the bedrock.
504
00:26:57,413 --> 00:26:59,482
As long as we can keep
these pumps running,
505
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:02,034
Jason keeps staging us down,
506
00:27:02,068 --> 00:27:03,172
we're gonna be
on the good gold.
507
00:27:04,275 --> 00:27:05,137
It's looking good.
508
00:27:07,241 --> 00:27:10,275
I definitely feel like I'm
making some real progress.
509
00:27:10,310 --> 00:27:13,827
Definitely feeling like
Team Turin is making
some real progress.
510
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:28,689
I hit bedrock, guys.
511
00:27:32,448 --> 00:27:33,620
Good. We're there!
512
00:27:36,551 --> 00:27:37,551
This is bedrock.
513
00:27:38,827 --> 00:27:41,448
This is what we are chasing
when we chase bedrock.
514
00:27:41,482 --> 00:27:43,310
This is how we get the gold.
515
00:27:43,344 --> 00:27:46,931
Like right here, I could pan
this and there will be a lot
of gold in here.
516
00:27:48,103 --> 00:27:49,620
This is it.
517
00:27:49,655 --> 00:27:52,413
This is the best gold
we will ever find. It is
right in this kind of stuff.
518
00:27:52,448 --> 00:27:55,275
And as soon as we get
the Roach going,
we're back in business.
519
00:28:03,206 --> 00:28:04,137
Next morning.
520
00:28:06,793 --> 00:28:08,862
It's a different world
out here
521
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:10,172
and you just have
to adapt to it.
522
00:28:12,517 --> 00:28:14,482
You know it's just
a temporary fix
to keep us running.
523
00:28:16,517 --> 00:28:19,931
This screen here, you know,
it is old and bent up and
*bleep* like that, but,
524
00:28:19,965 --> 00:28:22,344
you know, it's going to work.
It'll work for us to get by.
525
00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:30,206
Nathan adapts old screens
in a bid to get the Roach
back running.
526
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:33,551
You just can't get things in
that fast here in Alaska, so
527
00:28:33,586 --> 00:28:36,275
one of the neighbors claimed
he had some old screens
that would work.
528
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:38,965
Why shut down
when you don't have to?
529
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,103
Sometimes, you have
to make things work.
530
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:42,206
Yeah, Alaska's
completely different.
531
00:28:42,241 --> 00:28:44,000
You have to learn on the fly.
532
00:28:44,034 --> 00:28:47,206
You have to learn
how to manage things quickly.
533
00:28:47,241 --> 00:28:49,000
It's like, "We got to
figure this out,"
534
00:28:49,034 --> 00:28:50,827
but at least you have to
keep moving forward.
535
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:57,275
I am here to help
this team succeed
536
00:28:57,310 --> 00:29:00,620
and whatever methods there is,
I'll do it.
537
00:29:00,655 --> 00:29:03,724
A miner fix is the way you
have to get something
going to get back to mining,
538
00:29:03,758 --> 00:29:05,206
so, whatever it is,
it's a miner fix.
539
00:29:14,034 --> 00:29:16,689
So, these screens right here,
they're laid on top.
540
00:29:16,724 --> 00:29:17,827
You know, it just patched up
the hole.
541
00:29:28,344 --> 00:29:29,689
Now, you fire it up.
542
00:29:30,586 --> 00:29:32,482
Hope our screen deck holds up.
543
00:29:44,172 --> 00:29:45,103
Go ahead buddy.
544
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:56,241
For how long, I don't know.
545
00:29:56,275 --> 00:29:57,482
It will hold up
for a little while.
546
00:30:07,793 --> 00:30:11,241
So far so good. It is trying
to get things washed out.
547
00:30:11,275 --> 00:30:13,793
Screen is doing what it is
supposed to be doing.
548
00:30:13,827 --> 00:30:16,448
Screen material got fixed up,
we got smaller stuff.
549
00:30:16,482 --> 00:30:17,655
So, right now we're okay.
550
00:30:21,517 --> 00:30:23,517
Let's get her boys
up and running again.
551
00:30:24,103 --> 00:30:25,448
About time. Let's go!
552
00:30:28,275 --> 00:30:31,448
Nathan's done a great job
keeping that thing running,
553
00:30:31,482 --> 00:30:33,137
keeping it producing.
554
00:30:33,172 --> 00:30:37,620
And it looks good.
It is good run so far today.
555
00:30:37,655 --> 00:30:40,620
Just hoping and praying that
that Roach stays together.
556
00:30:40,655 --> 00:30:42,482
It's time to put
some gold in the box.
557
00:30:42,517 --> 00:30:45,103
The Roach
washes rocks once again
558
00:30:45,137 --> 00:30:48,413
as Jason scrapes pay
from gold-rich bedrock.
559
00:30:48,448 --> 00:30:51,482
The whole crew
is now back to work.
560
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:54,724
Now, it's time to really
kick ass and get some gold.
561
00:31:14,931 --> 00:31:16,827
Shelly is coming finally.
562
00:31:16,862 --> 00:31:19,758
It has been a long...
Long time since I've seen her.
563
00:31:23,172 --> 00:31:24,896
She's really key to this team.
564
00:31:26,965 --> 00:31:29,965
I've had a rough go
the last few months.
565
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,931
She's the heart and soul.
566
00:31:31,965 --> 00:31:34,793
Having spent
over a month apart from Dave,
567
00:31:34,827 --> 00:31:38,793
his wife, Shelly,
and grandson, Micaiah,
arrive in Valdez.
568
00:31:45,275 --> 00:31:46,241
There is papa.
569
00:31:47,517 --> 00:31:48,310
Hi, Papa.
570
00:31:49,103 --> 00:31:50,793
- Hey.
- Hey.
571
00:31:50,827 --> 00:31:52,103
It's been so long.
572
00:31:52,137 --> 00:31:53,000
Oh!
573
00:31:53,034 --> 00:31:54,448
- Good to see you.
- You too.
574
00:31:54,482 --> 00:31:55,275
Hey.
575
00:31:56,655 --> 00:31:58,931
Oh!
Good to see you!
576
00:31:58,965 --> 00:32:02,517
- Hey, welcome to Valdez.
- It's beautiful.
577
00:32:02,551 --> 00:32:04,689
- What do you think?
- Oh, my gosh, it is beautiful.
578
00:32:04,724 --> 00:32:06,137
- I'm impressed.
- Yeah.
579
00:32:06,172 --> 00:32:08,379
I'm impressed.
You guys have done a lot
580
00:32:08,413 --> 00:32:10,275
- in a short amount of time.
- short amount of time.
581
00:32:10,310 --> 00:32:13,068
- Good. Good to see ya.
- Well, it's been... It's kind of been
582
00:32:13,103 --> 00:32:15,241
rough... A rough go
without you.
583
00:32:16,724 --> 00:32:18,931
Why don't you go ahead
and make yourself at home...
584
00:32:18,965 --> 00:32:20,517
- All right.
- ...check everything out
585
00:32:20,551 --> 00:32:24,068
and then, you guys... We got
clean up to do but let me
talk to
586
00:32:24,103 --> 00:32:25,344
- your nana.
- All righty. Yeah,
587
00:32:25,379 --> 00:32:27,068
- I'll get started.
- So, go ahead and get started.
588
00:32:27,103 --> 00:32:30,137
So, the... This is where
we're mining down here.
589
00:32:31,206 --> 00:32:32,586
You can kind of see it.
590
00:32:32,620 --> 00:32:33,758
It's pretty.
591
00:32:33,793 --> 00:32:34,965
- Isn't it amazing?
- Wow.
592
00:32:35,310 --> 00:32:36,724
Easy.
593
00:32:36,758 --> 00:32:39,793
- You can kind of see the whole operation.
- Oh, my God. Wow.
594
00:32:39,827 --> 00:32:43,965
We have four to five years
mining here, I believe,
at the rate we're going.
595
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,068
- Good, good.
- You know, at least four.
596
00:32:47,103 --> 00:32:49,241
- So, yeah, it's a long-term investment.
- That's good.
597
00:32:49,275 --> 00:32:51,896
Oh, yeah, and then, that way,
I think, we'll
598
00:32:51,931 --> 00:32:54,275
get our money back eventually
over the years.
599
00:32:54,310 --> 00:32:55,689
- Yeah.
- That's the plan.
600
00:32:55,724 --> 00:32:57,482
- That's the plan. Yup.
- That's why we are here.
601
00:32:58,896 --> 00:33:01,172
I usually am always with Dave,
but had to
602
00:33:01,206 --> 00:33:03,344
stay home
to take care of family.
603
00:33:03,379 --> 00:33:04,758
And I could hear it
in his voice,
604
00:33:04,793 --> 00:33:07,586
his frustration, his stress.
605
00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:09,517
He has just got so much
going on and he...
606
00:33:09,551 --> 00:33:11,586
We both have invested so much
607
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:14,344
financially, so we do need
to see the gold.
608
00:33:14,379 --> 00:33:17,931
It we don't, then we are
going to be concerned about
why we're here
609
00:33:17,965 --> 00:33:19,862
and should we keep going.
610
00:33:19,896 --> 00:33:21,655
- Let me go show you the bedroom.
- Oh.
611
00:33:21,689 --> 00:33:23,206
I'll show you the bedroom.
612
00:33:23,241 --> 00:33:25,448
Yeah, I'm sure you will.
613
00:33:34,551 --> 00:33:36,068
That's it.
She is all buttoned up.
614
00:33:36,103 --> 00:33:37,517
Fire it up, Nathan.
615
00:33:37,551 --> 00:33:39,241
You want me to fire it up
right away?
616
00:33:39,275 --> 00:33:40,034
Yeah, go ahead.
617
00:33:45,172 --> 00:33:47,965
*bleep* Where did my radio go?
Where did my radio go?
618
00:33:52,344 --> 00:33:55,448
Dave, you got to copy.
Dave Turin,
do you hear your radio?
619
00:33:55,482 --> 00:33:56,965
Do you hear your radio, Dave?
Do you hear it?
620
00:33:57,655 --> 00:33:58,931
Do you? Do you hear it?
621
00:34:01,103 --> 00:34:01,896
Do you hear it, Dave?
622
00:34:02,517 --> 00:34:03,689
- Do you hear it?
- No.
623
00:34:04,896 --> 00:34:06,241
Dave lost his radio.
624
00:34:07,758 --> 00:34:08,586
Did I leave it in there?
625
00:34:16,172 --> 00:34:17,413
I hear nuts, I hear bolts.
626
00:34:20,034 --> 00:34:21,448
I don't know if I hear
a radio yet.
627
00:34:25,586 --> 00:34:27,551
- Radio.
- You're all watching, weren't you?
628
00:34:39,655 --> 00:34:41,344
Deep in
the Alaskan wilderness...
629
00:34:42,068 --> 00:34:44,793
Yeah, man.
630
00:34:44,827 --> 00:34:48,827
The Roach is back online
and Jason is on bedrock
631
00:34:48,862 --> 00:34:53,448
as Team Turin fights to stay
on track for its weekly goal
of 50 ounces.
632
00:34:53,896 --> 00:34:55,448
About time. Go.
633
00:35:04,275 --> 00:35:06,206
- Do you hear me, Chris?
- Yes.
634
00:35:08,172 --> 00:35:09,655
Go ahead and kill the pump.
635
00:35:09,689 --> 00:35:10,482
Ten-four. Thank you, sir.
636
00:35:13,724 --> 00:35:15,827
As a tough week
draws to a close,
637
00:35:17,517 --> 00:35:19,862
it's time to pull
the match from the sluice.
638
00:35:23,137 --> 00:35:24,310
Full clean-up tonight.
639
00:35:31,931 --> 00:35:33,344
Yeah, it is looking
pretty good down here.
640
00:35:34,724 --> 00:35:36,344
That's the most I have seen
641
00:35:36,379 --> 00:35:37,965
in the green,
that is genuine...
642
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,620
- Look it. Your next ridge.
- Look at all this down here. Yeah, next ridge down.
643
00:35:42,793 --> 00:35:43,931
Wait up.
644
00:35:43,965 --> 00:35:44,758
Right here too.
645
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,034
Whoo!
646
00:35:47,068 --> 00:35:48,862
That is the most I have seen
in the green, Dave.
647
00:35:48,896 --> 00:35:49,758
Looking good.
648
00:35:50,586 --> 00:35:54,482
We need a good gold weigh.
649
00:35:54,517 --> 00:35:56,827
We have been working hard, struggling.
650
00:35:56,862 --> 00:36:00,793
So, maybe God is smiling on us
this week. Maybe.
651
00:36:00,827 --> 00:36:01,827
Let's hope so.
652
00:36:04,172 --> 00:36:05,172
Oh, *bleep*.
653
00:36:06,413 --> 00:36:07,931
Look at that big
son of a *bleep*!
654
00:36:08,517 --> 00:36:10,517
- Boom!
- Oh, my God.
655
00:36:11,482 --> 00:36:12,482
Whoo!
656
00:36:13,344 --> 00:36:14,551
No way!
657
00:36:15,172 --> 00:36:16,551
Damn, it, son!
658
00:36:17,344 --> 00:36:18,103
Oh, *bleep*!
659
00:36:20,206 --> 00:36:21,793
That pretty sweet.
660
00:36:21,827 --> 00:36:23,931
That's the biggest nugget
we've found.
661
00:36:23,965 --> 00:36:25,896
Gray skies don't matter
when you find nuggets.
662
00:36:27,137 --> 00:36:28,896
Whoo!
663
00:36:28,931 --> 00:36:32,172
That's the biggest nugget
we found so far
in the last four years
664
00:36:32,206 --> 00:36:34,931
of mining. You know,
that's something nice
to see in the box.
665
00:36:34,965 --> 00:36:38,137
It means, we're getting
closer to bedrock,
gold's getting bigger.
666
00:36:38,172 --> 00:36:39,862
So, looking good.
667
00:36:40,827 --> 00:36:42,586
I told you it's badass.
668
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:44,620
I'm happy. That's a hell
of a nugget right there.
669
00:36:45,413 --> 00:36:47,310
Boom, baby!
670
00:36:47,344 --> 00:36:49,034
- I couldn't believe it. Look at it.
- Yeah, dude.
671
00:36:54,068 --> 00:36:55,655
At the gold room,
672
00:36:55,689 --> 00:36:58,689
after joining the crew
last year,
673
00:36:58,724 --> 00:37:03,241
Dave's grandson, Micaiah,
expands his knowledge
of the gold business.
674
00:37:05,137 --> 00:37:10,206
The one with the lot,
I emptied the sluice into here
and I'm putting it back in.
675
00:37:10,241 --> 00:37:11,517
- Okay.
- Just because--
676
00:37:11,551 --> 00:37:13,034
- Let's see what you get.
- There is a lot of gold pilling up.
677
00:37:13,068 --> 00:37:14,034
Yeah, let's see what you get.
678
00:37:15,827 --> 00:37:19,413
Usually, I am the one
that runs the gold room
and the gold table
679
00:37:19,448 --> 00:37:22,413
and all that, but I have
Micaiah here to help.
680
00:37:24,310 --> 00:37:27,034
Right now,
there's no other place
I'd rather be
681
00:37:27,068 --> 00:37:29,068
than here with my grandparents
in Alaska.
682
00:37:29,827 --> 00:37:31,344
I enjoy working
683
00:37:31,379 --> 00:37:33,137
and I caught gold fever.
684
00:37:34,137 --> 00:37:35,827
I can say that much.
685
00:37:35,862 --> 00:37:37,689
There is more gold
on that side
686
00:37:37,724 --> 00:37:40,137
so maybe the harder nozzle
will get it.
687
00:37:40,172 --> 00:37:43,793
Today is the first look at
the gold on the table for me.
688
00:37:44,793 --> 00:37:46,379
I like how coarse it is.
689
00:37:46,413 --> 00:37:49,689
It's not as fine as
what I have been used to.
690
00:37:49,724 --> 00:37:55,000
Makes the job in here easier
to have good, solid
coarse gold.
691
00:37:55,034 --> 00:37:57,758
There is a lot of worries
starting off this season.
692
00:37:57,793 --> 00:38:00,413
This is the most money
we have spent so far.
693
00:38:00,448 --> 00:38:04,655
Hopefully, it pays off
and we get that back and more.
694
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:18,551
Morning at the gold room.
695
00:38:19,827 --> 00:38:23,379
Hey, guys, you know last week
wasn't very good-18.6.
696
00:38:24,275 --> 00:38:26,793
But this, I feel I much better
about it,
697
00:38:27,655 --> 00:38:29,413
especially after the week
we've had.
698
00:38:29,448 --> 00:38:31,275
- Oh, God.
- No real screens.
699
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:32,482
We had to patch them up.
700
00:38:32,517 --> 00:38:34,620
Did a little bit...
A bit of rigging there.
701
00:38:34,655 --> 00:38:36,896
Yeah, no. That was
hillbilly rigging there.
702
00:38:37,827 --> 00:38:38,827
Hey, whatever works.
703
00:38:41,655 --> 00:38:43,000
It's good to see
Shelly's back.
704
00:38:43,034 --> 00:38:43,931
I thought so.
705
00:38:43,965 --> 00:38:45,310
- It is good to be back.
- Momma Shelly.
706
00:38:45,344 --> 00:38:48,310
It is good to be back.
I missed you guys.
707
00:38:48,344 --> 00:38:50,137
- I was just going to say that.
- Missed you guys.
708
00:38:51,241 --> 00:38:52,689
All right.
709
00:38:52,724 --> 00:38:53,758
- Let's weigh it up.
- Let's just see
710
00:38:53,793 --> 00:38:55,103
- what it's all about.
- You ready to weigh it?
711
00:38:55,137 --> 00:38:56,068
- Shelly?
- Yeah.
712
00:38:56,103 --> 00:38:58,103
- Momma Shelly.
- Momma Shelly.
713
00:38:58,137 --> 00:38:59,103
- Do the gold weigh.
- All right.
714
00:39:01,586 --> 00:39:02,517
Ready. Here we go.
715
00:39:02,551 --> 00:39:03,931
She's the good luck charm.
716
00:39:03,965 --> 00:39:05,275
- I'm hoping she is our good luck charm.
- All right,
717
00:39:05,310 --> 00:39:06,103
I hope so.
718
00:39:07,758 --> 00:39:08,689
Just look at that.
719
00:39:08,724 --> 00:39:10,482
Eight, nine, ten.
720
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:13,793
Come on big money, 18.
721
00:39:14,344 --> 00:39:16,517
Twenty, 22.
722
00:39:16,551 --> 00:39:17,551
- Oh, boy.
- Twenty-three.
723
00:39:18,517 --> 00:39:20,310
Twenty-five, 27,
724
00:39:20,344 --> 00:39:22,758
28... Thirty?
725
00:39:22,793 --> 00:39:23,931
Good.
726
00:39:23,965 --> 00:39:25,241
- Come on, big money. Let's do it.
- Oh, yeah.
727
00:39:25,275 --> 00:39:26,551
- No whammy. Come on.
- Come on.
728
00:39:27,137 --> 00:39:28,448
Look at that.
729
00:39:28,931 --> 00:39:30,172
Forty! Yeah.
730
00:39:30,689 --> 00:39:31,482
Come on!
731
00:39:32,034 --> 00:39:33,000
Ooh-ie!
732
00:39:33,034 --> 00:39:34,206
- Oh, we are go over 50.
- We're going to go--
733
00:39:34,551 --> 00:39:35,448
Fifty!
734
00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:38,310
We're over 50!
735
00:39:38,344 --> 00:39:40,448
- Yeah! 54!
- Whoo!
736
00:39:40,482 --> 00:39:43,034
- Now we're talking!
- That work.
737
00:39:43,068 --> 00:39:47,724
This week's haul
is worth over $97,000,
738
00:39:47,758 --> 00:39:52,137
bringing this year's total
to 93.9 ounces.
739
00:39:53,448 --> 00:39:54,724
Damn, boys.
740
00:39:54,758 --> 00:39:56,241
High five, yeah!
741
00:39:56,275 --> 00:39:57,310
- Yay.
- Nice.
742
00:39:57,344 --> 00:39:58,482
Good job, boys.
743
00:39:58,517 --> 00:39:59,689
Good job.
744
00:39:59,724 --> 00:40:02,689
That's good to see it,
you know. I know what's here.
745
00:40:02,724 --> 00:40:05,241
We'll get these pumps here.
We'll start dewatering
a little more,
746
00:40:05,275 --> 00:40:07,586
get down to some
of that real good pay.
747
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:09,551
We're going to show
where the hell gold really is.
748
00:40:10,551 --> 00:40:11,620
Guys...
749
00:40:11,655 --> 00:40:12,862
- Thanks, Shelly.
- Nice welcome.
750
00:40:12,896 --> 00:40:14,310
Good job, Micaiah.
751
00:40:14,344 --> 00:40:16,137
- Thanks, Papa.
- Good job. It's nice to have you guys here.
752
00:40:16,172 --> 00:40:18,172
Y'all come any day
if y'all start doing that.
753
00:40:18,206 --> 00:40:20,000
- If you keep--
- Dave's fired now.
754
00:40:20,034 --> 00:40:22,068
You keep bringing
this to us, all right?
755
00:40:22,103 --> 00:40:25,034
Oh, man, that was a great
gold weigh.
756
00:40:25,068 --> 00:40:27,482
It is going to be a lot of fun
to be in the gold room
this season.
757
00:40:27,517 --> 00:40:29,034
This thing is,
we're getting better.
758
00:40:29,068 --> 00:40:33,137
We're getting...
Every week we're improving
and it's showing.
759
00:40:33,896 --> 00:40:36,724
So, great, great gold weigh
760
00:40:36,758 --> 00:40:39,068
and I think we are gonna do
better next week.
761
00:40:39,551 --> 00:40:40,517
It's a relief.
762
00:40:40,551 --> 00:40:42,862
You know, we wanted
50 ounces a week.
763
00:40:42,896 --> 00:40:44,620
Well, we just went over it.
764
00:40:45,413 --> 00:40:46,827
All in.
765
00:40:46,862 --> 00:40:48,379
But we're doing a good job.
766
00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:52,413
I feel confident now that the
reason I brought them here,
767
00:40:52,448 --> 00:40:53,827
it's starting to pay off.
768
00:40:53,862 --> 00:40:57,448
So, it is a good day and I can
sleep better tonight.
769
00:41:01,448 --> 00:41:04,620
- Oh, yeah!
- Oh!
770
00:41:04,655 --> 00:41:06,206
On the next episode...
771
00:41:06,241 --> 00:41:09,310
I think with the Eagle
coming in, we are gonna
finally see some great gold.
772
00:41:09,344 --> 00:41:12,827
A box-fresh wash plant
brings new pressure.
773
00:41:12,862 --> 00:41:15,896
I genuinely do not have
the ability
774
00:41:15,931 --> 00:41:18,206
to keep up with
the pay of the Roach,
775
00:41:18,241 --> 00:41:20,586
let alone with that Eagle.
776
00:41:20,620 --> 00:41:22,689
Somebody needs to *bleep*
figure it out.
777
00:41:22,724 --> 00:41:25,620
You tell me what's going on
with that bull*bleep*.
778
00:41:25,655 --> 00:41:27,103
And a raging river...
779
00:41:27,137 --> 00:41:28,517
He is not
going to be happy.
780
00:41:28,551 --> 00:41:31,517
...stands between
the crew and the gold.
781
00:41:31,551 --> 00:41:32,965
Back end's in the water.
782
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,275
Whoa, hold on. Whoa, whoa.
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
