[narrator] Over 15 years, the miners of "Gold Rush..."

Yee-haw!

...have discovered gold all over the world.

There's some gold right there.

Now, on the ultimate guide to where to find gold.

Here we go.

Every gold miner's looking for stuff like this.

[cheering]

Oh, my God!

The miners follow a trail from the Earth's core...

[speaking in Spanish]

[man grunts]

I think the gold's over there.

...to the ocean floor.

[Riley speaking]

From Papua New Guinea's fiery volcanoes

to the alluvial plains of the Klondike,

we reveal where the gold is.

-Boom! -Look at that.

How it got there.

Telling you, Dustin, that's where the gold's at.

And how to find it.

People search their whole life for this.

[Rick] Fire it up!

[motor powers up]

-Whoo! -[Zee] Here we go!

In the Yukon, for six short months, the hunt for gold

is a frenzy to strike it rich.

Let's get that gold!

But this rare, precious metal has been mined

for over 6,000 years.

[Ramo] Have a look at the size of that, mate.

Jeez.

And in that time, more than 170,000 tons

has been discovered.

-Yee-haw! -[bleep] yeah!

It's the backbone of the world's economy and is used

in nearly every piece of modern technology.

But its journey to your phone

began billions of years ago.

The Earth's gold formed when a gigantic star exploded.

Four and a half billion years ago, dust and debris

of the dead star combined together to form the Earth,

with molten minerals, iron, and gold at its core.

This hot liquid is known as magma.

When molten magma is ejected through volcanoes,

it cools and hardens into veins of quartz and gold known

as mother lodes.

These are the source of gold, and are found worldwide.

Over time, glaciers, rain, and rivers erode

these veins, carrying gold down the mountains and into valleys

below, depositing it as it travels until rivers finally

carry any remaining gold out to sea.

[Mitch] Hey, let's get some gold!

[chuckles]

There's still an estimated 50,000 tons left to be found,

but the hunt to find it is anything but easy.

[Fred] Wow.

[Parker] All right, well, shall we go hike a volcano?

In 2019, Parker Schnabel goes looking for gold at its source

on the slopes of an active volcano, Mount Tavurvur,

in Papua New Guinea.

[Parker] Yeah, it's good to figure out what's going on around here.

[Sam] Basically looking for any excuse to climb

an active volcano. -[Parker] Oh, yeah.

Every year, this remote island nation produces

over $2.6 billion worth of gold.

-[Sam] Holy! -Holy cow.

-[Sam] Ho-ho-ho-ho! -[Parker] Look at that.

[Sam] This is awesome.

I hope you've got your learning cap on.

Papua New Guinea is located in a region known

as the "Ring of Fire,"

and has more than 60 volcanoes,

the most in the Southwest Pacific.

When tectonic plates covering the Earth's surface collide,

earthquakes force mineral-rich magma

up through the Earth's crust.

The magma crystallizes, becoming a silica-rich fluid

that pushes through cracks and forms veins

of quartz and gold.

Mining these is known as "hard rock mining."

-[Danny] Wow. -Oh, my God, it's huge.

Three years later,

still searching for a mother lode,

Parker and his team travel to the other side

of the Ring of Fire, to La Rinconada, in Peru.

Located over 16,700 feet above sea level, this remote mining

town produces almost 80,000 ounces of gold a year,

worth more than $260 million.

[speaking in Spanish] Hello, how are you?

Good morning.

Oh, are we here?

[Parker] It's definitely something out of another world.

All right, here we go.

Tunnel shafts are dug a mile into the mountain,

where the crews search for the mother lode veins.

[miners speaking in Spanish]

That is up there?

[Christian] The idea is to detonate this one.

To remove a five foot square area of gold-rich ore,

the crew drill a network of 12 holes

four feet into the rock.

Each hole is then filled with 190 pounds of dynamite.

[speaking in Spanish] Load it, please.

[Christian] Now we're going to load the hole.

-[Parker] We're gonna blow it up? -[Christian] Yeah.

And when you push, you have to be very careful.

[speaking in Spanish]

[Christian] "Your first mistake is your last mistake."

Boom.

-Three minutes to get out the front door? -Yeah.

-[Parker] You ready, Dan? -[Danny] I'm ready, man.

This seems so wrong with the lighter.

[Danny] What the [bleep]!

-Let's go! -Vámonos, vámonos.

-Fuego, fuego! -[Parker laughs]

Oh, my God.

-[thunderous explosion] -[man grunts]

-That was not that long. -[Parker laughs]

[Danny] We literally just got here.

That does not feel like it's a very long way away.

[explosion bangs]

Whoa!

Once all 12 explosions detonate...

[rumbling explosion]

[bleep]! I felt that one.

...the crew retrieve the blasted ore.

[Parker] This is, like, the veins that they're looking for.

That's what they'll take and crush up

and get gold out of.

[Danny] There it is.

Let's have a look.

[Parker] One there and one there.

[Danny] Very cool.

Awesome.

[Christian] Because you are new to this mine,

you need to carry your ore.

[Christian] Now we can go.

That was cool, dude.

After the ore is crushed and processed,

the crew are left with pure gold.

Oh, look!

Whoa.

[Parker] I'm not sure I could do it as a business, but, like,

that was an experience like none other.

Almost 17,000 feet, unventilated mine site,

all by hand.

Yeah, I think the most hardcore people we've ever met.

[Danny] Yeah, I reckon.

Still to come...

The claim starts right here.

The crew find gold as it journeys away

from the mother lode.

[Rick] The big gold that we're looking for is going to be

up one of these tributaries.

-Dustin! -What!

I got some gold!

-[Sam] Holy! -Holy cow!

On this guide to finding gold, we followed its journey

from the Earth's core to quartz veins deep inside mountains.

Boom.

[thunderous explosion]

If miners can't access the gold-rich veins,

they must follow gold's journey as it travels away

from the mother lode.

And the closer you are to the source,

the richer the ground should be.

Tell me again where we're going?

A place called Keno City.

In 2018, Rick Ness searches for a fortune in gold high up

in the Yukon Mountains.

I did OK last year, and it was all right.

And, like, that's just not good enough for me,

you know what I mean?

Like, I want something better than OK.

He's on the hunt for the region's legendary

big nuggets.

-[Rick] Howdy, fellas. -[Dean] Hi there.

[Rick] Interesting place you got here.

Thank you.

It's beautiful, that's for sure.

[Dean] Yeah.

The claims on Rick's potential new mine site lay close

to a massive mother lode.

[Stuart] Well, basically, Mount Hinton is the mountain at the very

tops of our claims, and it's a known gold source

for this entire area.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a giant glacier eroded

Mount Hinton's exposed gold veins,

plucking up debris and large gold nuggets.

The ice sheet bulldozed down the mountain,

carrying the gold with it.

When the ice melted, it deposited pockets

of coarse gold in the valley below.

-[Rick] Wow. -Holy [bleep]!

[Rick] No way!

-[Big Rick] What the hell? -[Rick] Holy [bleep]!

Any geologist will tell you by looking at some of that,

that we're not very far from the source.

Some of it might not have moved 50 feet.

Each of these nuggets is worth upwards of $20,000.

[Dean] This is just part of our collection.

They're probably twice as good when you get down there.

[Rick] No, that's, that's [stutters].

[Big Rick] I wasn't expecting this type of --

[Rick] I wasn't either.

It's like finding that in a sluice box, like,

that'll drive a guy nuts.

So now that you've got my interest.

[laughing]

Let's find some nuggets!

In the hopes of catching Mount Hinton's nuggets,

Rick sets up what's called a "placer mining operation."

Let's go! Whoo!

First, he must dig out the glacial deposit

of gold-bearing dirt.

[Ryan over radio] We're making money.

We are making money.

Then use a wash plant and water to separate

the heavier gold from the waste dirt.

I'm a little bit happy.

Let's shut her down.

[motor winds down]

-What do you think? -[Karla] It looks really good.

[Mark] Oh my God.

Look at this. It's just sitting in the sluice.

[Karla] Holy [bleep], dude.

I can't believe that, dude!

Wow, look at it.

That's the heaviest nugget I've ever felt.

People search their whole life for this type of material.

[Rick] Big smile on your face.

[Karla] No, you don't even know. You don't even...

This is, like, what dreams are made of.

-What! -I know!

-[Rick] Holy [bleep]! -[Karla] Yeah.

[Mark] Christmas came early.

That's like an ounce right there.

That's a [bleep] beauty.

Like, that's worth some serious money.

This here is one of the reasons I'm here.

It's coming from right there, Mount Hinton.

That's the source of all this big gold.

So as far as I know, that's bigger than anything

Parker or Tony has pulled out of the ground.

I'm here to hunt for these, and that's the first of many.

[triumphant music plays]

The awesome power of glaciers

played a crucial role in the distribution

of gold across the legendary Yukon territories

and beyond.

[rattling heavily]

Boulders are fricking huge.

In 2016, the Hoffman crew are trying to find their own

glacial deposits of gold

in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

I've never even begun to see boulders this size.

The Hoffman's claim is littered with huge boulders.

I got one down here that's even bigger than that.

[Freddy] Big rocks can mean bigger and more gold.

It's a good sign.

But at the same time, those big ass rocks slow us way down.

Thousands of years ago, a massive glacier deposited

these monster boulders and gold-rich dirt across the claim.

Then, meltwater washed down dirt and gold, leaving behind

valuable pockets of gold under the boulders.

[Andy] Come on. Come on.

[rattling, creaking]

Before they can get to the gold, the crew have

to clear the boulders.

[Freddy] Whoa! Look out!

[Andy grunts]

Ugh...

[Andy] At this point, Todd, I am frustrated with this.

I cannot get these boulders out.

You want -- what do you want to do, Freddy?

I mean.

Fireworks.

Make big rocks into small rocks.

Yeah, let's frickin' blow them up.

Freddy calls in Master Blaster Mark Mayer.

I love my job.

Where else in the world do you get to go blow things up

on somebody else's property,

make a mess, and let them clean it up?

To blast a 20,000 pound boulder, Mark will use

a stick and a half of dynamite.

The energy equivalent of this is on the order of about

100 million horsepower.

Finish her up with sand. That'll do it.

Let's get out of here.

The detonator box is wired and ready to fire.

[air horn blaring]

[Mark] Ten, nine, eight, seven,

six, five, four,

three, two, one.

-Blasting. -Fire in the hole!

[Mark] Ten, nine, eight...

In the playbook on where to find gold,

the Hoffmans are chasing glacial gold deposits

trapped under monster boulders.

Fire in the hole.

[loud explosions]

-Bye, bye boulders. -[Mark] You gotta love blasting.

-You know, I've been pretty -- -Mark, kick ass, man.

-[Todd] Look at that. -[Freddy] No more big boulders.

[Andy] That'll work. That I can move.

-Good job, Mark. -My pleasure.

Bring it in.

Andy, get the excavator. Let's go.

That's all I needed, just a little bit of help.

Because it is loaded with gold.

The pockets of gold found underneath the glacial boulders

deliver the Hoffmans their best haul of the season...

105.2.

Whoa!

...proving that big boulders really can mean big gold.

That's a hell of a lot of gold in a short period of time.

This is just fantastic. I love it.

Glaciers are nature's conveyors, slowly moving gold

from the mother lode down the mountain.

But when these enormous bodies of ice melt,

they turn into fast flowing creeks that can rapidly carry

gold on the next leg of its journey.

-[river gushing] -[Carlos] Ha-ha-ha!

[Dustin] She's angry today!

[Carlos] It's not safe out here.

[Fred] We're in a danger zone.

Raging whitewater creeks are some of the most inaccessible

and dangerous places to hunt for gold in the world.

[Carlos] Holy cow!

And it takes a special breed of miner to take them on.

Whoa, look out, look out!

[Dustin] Ah! This is dangerous!

[Dustin] So there's four claims

that I'd like to go look at right now.

They're over the top of the mountains, zero access,

middle of nowhere. -[Kayla] Looks pretty steep.

[Dustin] Yeah, it does look steep,

but told there's good gold in it.

Daredevil gold miner Dustin Hurt is searching

for gold in the nugget-rich creeks

of Alaska's Chilkat Mountains.

[Dustin] What do you think?

[Kayla] There's a lot of exposed water once you get out of that

canyon, so it's workable.

Gold has been brought down these mountains

by slow-moving glaciers.

These then melt, forming fast flowing creeks that can erode

even more gold from exposed mother lode veins,

rapidly carrying it downstream and depositing it

in plunge pools at the bottom of waterfalls.

Big gold nuggets can be found sitting on the surface or just

below the riverbed.

[Dustin] Now, here's the deal.

You're gonna dredge.

[Carlos] All right.

[Dustin] You're gonna find gold.

[Carlos] Dredge, find gold.

All right, guys. Going in the water.

Diver Carlos Menor must brave the whitewater, using a hose

to suck up paydirt,

sending it to a floating dredge where riffles

in the sluice runs will catch the gold.

[Wes] We just got to keep an eye on,

watch on that one rock right there.

[Dustin] I don't like that.

The more he comes into the weir, the steeper the wall

gets, the more chance of some of these rocks falling in

on top of him.

So, if they move, I'll get them out of the way.

We do not want to crush the diver.

[Carlos] That looks pretty good.

This is a little bit deeper spot.

Getting a lot of material out, for sure.

[Carlos grunts]

[James] Carlos, get out of there!

-[panting] -[grunting]

[Dustin] Come get him!

-[James] You all right? -[Carlos] Yeah.

[Dustin] Did you get clipped?

[Carlos] Yeah, pretty good.

[Dustin] That was a close one, dude.

Good time to double down and check the box, huh?

[Dustin] I'm just curious. Did he get all of it?

[crew screaming] Oh!

[Dustin] Oh, my God!

Carlos! Carlos!

You ready for this?

Look what you just found, buddy.

[Carlos] Oh my God!

[Carlos laughing]

[Dustin] OK, OK, OK, OK. Don't fall.

Look at that big, beautiful sucker.

That's at least four ounces.

That's the biggest nugget in "Gold Rush" history right there.

Prized for its rarity and collectability,

this 5.8-ounce nugget is worth more than its weight in gold,

valued at over $25,000.

Holy stinking moly, man.

You see the size of that nugget?

These remote mountain plunge pools may still hold

thousands of ounces of undiscovered treasures,

but gold's journey doesn't stop there.

When gold-bearing creeks discharge into rivers,

the gold moves further downstream, spreading out

into the valleys below.

No matter what has to happen down here, I'm getting gold

out of Indian River.

Nowhere is there a better example of this

than the legendary Klondike in the Northwest of Canada.

Here, multiple ancient rivers converge to concentrate

gold deposits, creating one of the richest regions

in the world, where placer crew like Parker Schnabel

and Tony Beets recover thousands of ounces every year.

Keep her going, keep her going.

[crew cheering]

Thousands of years ago, a river flowed through

Parker and Tony's claims, depositing ground down

fine gold on the riverbed.

Over time, this was covered up by organic layers of dirt,

known as "overburden,"

trapping the gold below.

Recovering tiny flakes of gold buried under thousands of tons

of worthless dirt

is no easy task, and crew must read the ground for clues

on where to find it.

At the rate we're going, we will not make it.

We don't have the ground that's providing the amount of gold

we need to reach our goal.

In 2013, a young Parker is mining an ancient riverbed

on Scribner Creek, a tributary of the Indian River.

But he's struggling to find good gold.

This ground we're on isn't quite doing what we need.

See, the valley comes up this way and then it bends down

and makes a big turn in here.

You know, we're mining up on the outside of the turn,

but heavy material is deposited on the inside of the turn.

We could have the best wash plant in the world,

but a wash plant doesn't make gold,

good ground does.

When fast flowing water carrying gold

hits the inside bend of a river,

it slows, causing the heavy gold to sink and settle

on the creek bed.

We're not very far away from where we're sluicing right now,

but that small of a distance can make a lot of difference

in the gold.

To mine across the creek, Parker will have to abandon

the ground he's worked all season.

It's a high risk plan, and he needs his foreman,

Gene Cheeseman, to buy in on his hunch.

I think the gold's over there.

You know, my honest opinion about it, I think,

you know, we need to stick over here.

It's just we need to find some better ground, so.

I think that's [bleep] fantasy land, Parker.

Yeah, well, we've got to do something, and fantasy land

might just be our next cut, because if there's good gold

over there, I'm not afraid to move this whole show

over there.

I hope your fantasies come true, then.

[Parker] This is what I was looking for.

As we reveal the secrets on where to find gold,

Parker Schnabel is on the hunt for a new pay streak.

I'm going to grab a pan and do a test here and see

what it looks like.

He's trying to prove his hunch that the inside bend

of an ancient river holds gold that will lead

to a monster payday.

[chuckles softly]

Oh, God.

That flake in here is probably the biggest one

I've panned out.

I mean, this is promising, though.

It's not too often that you can come over into a completely new

area and within two hours have, you know,

a bunch of gold in your pan.

Nice little flake popped out.

It's never happened to me before.

All right, Gene, have fun mining with the crew.

I'm picking gold.

Parker decides to move his operation

to the inside bend of the river.

[Parker] This is the first scoop of our 1,000 yard test.

Hope it's lucky.

And it pays out big.

[Parker] 75, 85...

Delivering almost 500 ounces of gold

in just four weeks.

[all cheering]

The gold mining prodigy shows how reading the lay of the land

can lead to a big score.

And it's a skill every miner must have as they track

the ancient path of gold.

[Rick] See what we got in here.

2023...

Rick Ness is attempting to decode the ground

of his Duncan Creek claim.

[Rick] What I'm looking for here is a bench up top where the creek

ran at one time.

Thousands of years ago, a glacial river carrying

fine gold ran through Rick's claim.

Over time, it eroded the ground, cutting a valley

and leaving gold deposits on higher ground,

known as "benches."

[Rick] Troy Taylor, whose family mined this before I did,

they had really good luck up here.

They spent a day mining in this one particular spot

and hit 400 ounces.

There's no reason that there couldn't be another one

of them days up here.

So I am excited about this spot, this area.

-Hey, Troy. -Hey, Rick.

[Rick] How you doing?

I'm definitely on bedrock,

but I don't see a whole lot of gravel.

[Troy] Yeah, it doesn't look too good, eh?

[Rick] No.

[Troy] I think we may be just a little too low.

This is where we were mining.

Just over there, there's a nice bedrock channel.

[Rick] Yeah.

And it's at a higher elevation.

So, this is the section you guys did?

[Troy] Yeah.

This is where we had 450-ounce cleanup.

-[Rick] Yeah. -[Troy] Follow this as far as you can.

Yeah. All right, thanks, bud.

[Rick] Troy showed me exactly where they left off.

And the channel that they mined previously

is actually visible.

So I can dig straight down right here.

Looks like I might be...

getting down to a gravel layer down here.

So that would be a good sign.

It's definitely undisturbed gravel, that's for sure.

Potential gold deposits on this kind of ground

rest beneath multiple layers of dirt.

The first and thickest is the worthless overburden.

The second is the rocky material known as "gravels."

Finally, the pay layer that sits on top of hard bedrock.

Gold is concentrated between the bottom six inches of gravel

and the top six inches of bedrock.

[Rick] I'm going to grab a pan

and take it down the creek with me.

Let's see what we got in here.

You're always waiting for that one time you,

you know, you pull a pan and it's just,

the whole bottom's covered in gold.

It's never happened yet to me.

There's always that chance.

Hey!

Oh, you got some dirt?

Hey, Buzz.

Wouldn't it be nice to see some gold in here?

[water sloshing]

[Morgan] See any colors?

-Yeah, look at it. -[Rick] Gold, gold, gold.

Gold, gold.

[Morgan] That's awesome.

If we're going to need a spot to go for gold,

I think this might be it.

Rick runs the paydirt from the bench.

And it delivers.

[Trey] 62.46.

[Rick] 75.46 ounces!

[Morgan] Yes!

Almost 600 ounces.

Today, worth nearly $1.8 million.

-[Rick] That's a pile of gold, guys. -[Buzz] Nice.

-[bleep] yeah! -Whoo!

From ancient river beds, gold's journey continues

onwards to its final destination...

[Todd] Yeah, you don't have these kind of problems

in the Klondike.

-Whoa! -[laughing]

It's going to get interesting.

...where crew, searching for a big payday, face their most

unexpected environment yet.

[Riley speaking]

Holy crap.

In 2015, a creature that walked the Earth 20,000 years ago

returns to help the Hoffman crew find gold.

[worker] All right, go! [grunting]

Jeez.

[Dave] You know what they say?

Where there's a mammoth tusk, there's good gold.

[Sterling] Did Jack tell you that?

-[Dave] All the old miners say that. -[Sterling] Really?

Where you start finding mammoth tusk and you can smell

that stinky, rotten smell,

you're going to start finding gold. -Find good gold.

Hoping for a monster payday,

they put the old timer's legend to the test.

-[Jack] It's good. -[Dave] How good?

-[heavy clank] -[Dave] Whoa!

236 ounces.

[Todd] The old timer said, "Where you find mammoth tusks,

you find big gold." And you know what?

They were right.

[Dustin] Come hell or high water. That's where we're going.

For millions of years, water has transported gold

from the high mountains...

[Parker] So, that's your pay zone, right?

Yep.

...to lowland valleys...

...and all the way to the coast.

[Freddy speaking]

In 2013, the Hoffmans search for gold

on Chipana Beach, Chile.

-Where do you want to start? -Down by the water.

[Todd] OK, let's go.

This will be a good spot to find color if this ocean

brought stuff and washed it out,

brought stuff and washed it out.

It'll just tell us if there's color in it, not how much.

Let's have a look at it.

-[Freddy] All right. -[Todd] Let's go.

[Freddy] It's my first time ever, panning in the ocean.

-What the hell is that? -[Dave] Jellyfish.

[Todd] Yeah, you don't have these kind of problems

in the Klondike -- ugh!

Whoa!

[laughing]

This is going to get interesting.

One color. Two colors.

[Dave] Where?

-[Freddy] You can see it... -[Todd] Right there.

[Dave] Oh, yeah, yeah.

-Yup, right here? -[Freddy] Yeah.

There's two of them here.

[Jack] Well, now we know it's here, so...

[Dave] There's gold in the beach.

From the beach, gold comes to its final destination.

Let's go.

[Tyler] We haven't done a lot of prospecting this trip,

so I thought we would do a bit of prospecting in the ocean.

Something you'd ever be interested in?

[Parker] Um, I mean, under the right circumstances, I suppose I'd be

interested in anything. -But the thing is...

there's a chance there could potentially be sharks.

[crew laughs]

Parker Schnabel's quest for gold has brought him

to the coast of New Zealand's North Island.

The Coromandel Mountain range is historically rich in gold.

Creeks have eroded this gold from quartz veins,

discharging it into the Tairua River.

The waterway quickly hits the coastline,

dumping gold on the ocean floor.

-[Danny] All right. -G'day, guys -- how are we?

-[Tyler] Riley, hello. -How's it?

-[Tyler] Good to see you. -Riley.

-Parker. -Parker, good to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

There's a rich gold history around here, and why not go

search where people haven't searched before?

[engine revving]

[Riley and Parker speaking]

Round here, there is a huge gold history.

So there is every chance that we're going to be able to pull

a sample off the bottom of the ocean floor, pan it,

and there's some gold in it.

which would be an incredible thing.

Yeah, we've got two large sharks just swimming

around here, just off the stern of the boat.

Just keep your eyes open, all right?

[Danny] There it is, right there, right in front of him,

right bang next to him.

[dramatic music plays]

[Riley and Parker speaking]

Wow!

[thrilling music plays]

Whoa!

Good job, lads. Well done.

Parker has collected test material from the seabed,

the furthest place possible from gold's source

in the mountains.

-He's gone quite quiet. -Don't -- don't even...

[Parker] All right, here's the moment of truth.

[Riley] [bleep]! There is...

[Danny] Shut up!

Oh, there's heaps there!

There is not! Is it?

[Riley] I've just have found a big one there!

Are you serious? [cackling]

Yes, come on, bro!

Gold and sharks, you've got to celebrate that.

-That is so... -[Parker] [bleep] wild.

There's, like, seven or eight pieces there,

and a bunch over there.

Hang on a minute. I'm shaking.

Unreal.

This is amazing!

-[Parker] What the [bleep]? -That is awesome.

[Riley] Like, the whole valley was a huge gold mine

for hundreds of years.

And that runs out into the very waters that we dove.

But, like, is that a good yield?

So if I were on our mine site and I panned that much dirt

and got that much gold, I would be like, "We're going to have

a good [bleep] week." Like, that's really good.

[Danny] Wow! This is, like...

next level. This is Indiana Jones.

[Parker] There's actually gold.

Quite a bit.

Like, you could work it out to a grade, but it's better than

anything that we've ever mined.
