(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) There's a secret war going on in the outback town of Claremont.

The gold here is so good and the value of gold now is so high.

Look at that!

Dog eat dog, the wars are on.

Why are you entertaining this idiot?

I was a bit pissed off when Donnie came in.

That's what it's like!

Three mining teams.

We have to put a load of money into the mine, so we have to make it work.

Fighting it out on the one patch of land.

This is just some of the stuff Donnie's been walking over.

Guys, I'd be lucky if I don't walk over his big nose.

This time.

So finally we're at the point where we're going to go and put the pegs in the ground.

Lee stakes his claim in Claremont.

It's a damn good feeling.

I'm knackered but I'm excited.

Richie returns to site to see his mega wash plant come to life.

The water flow needs to change.

The level needs to change.

There's heat.

But it's not a happy occasion for the injured owner.

I believe it's going to be quicker to try and fix what we've got

rather than do it all useless.

The way Richie wants to fix it is completely different to mine.

So watch this space.

Start me off, 400, $400.

And Donnie concocts a brainwave gold auction idea.

When you're sitting there and there's no bids coming through

and you're like, oh my God, here we go.

To fund his 1880 lease purchase.

$38.50.

Once, twice, three times.

I'm going to put another rip through.

At Swiss Diggings, Dennis is working solo to the southeast

and double act Donnie and Ronnie are to the northwest.

Righto, here we go.

Dennis is still 40 ounces short of his $500,000 season target.

Yeah, so we've got a couple of boats.

Smaller already.

Dennis has tabled an offer to Donnie

to buy a parcel of land off him called 1880

if Donnie can raise the money in time.

The figure for 1880 is $75,000.

That's what Donnie has to come up with to fully own it 100% outright.

The deal could set Donnie up for life,

but it's a time-critical offer.

Donnie needs to come up with the $37,500 deposit

by the end of the season.

Dennis is expecting his six ounces of gold

and I've got to get it for him, otherwise we're not pegging.

He won't peg.

It'll be on him, though, if he wants to own it.

That's what he has to do.

I think what I really need to do with this

is come up with a bloody really good idea to auction it.

Maybe do an 1880 auction gold sale.

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

1880 gold.

Help me buy my own lease.

So I just wanted to get part of Dennis' deal out of the way

and make sure that he knew that I was out of income.

I'm not going to shirk him.

So I decided to auction off what gold I've got.

Donnie's brainwave idea to auction off his gold stocks

is a double-edged sword.

He may get a premium over the spot price,

which is trading just over $6,000 an ounce,

or he may fail to sell anything at all.

Copy, Dennis?

Copy, mate.

Hey, mate, I just had an idea.

There's nothing wrong with telling people

what we're trying to do with this 1880 gold.

Yeah, what do you reckon?

Oh, absolutely not, mate. Not at all.

I'm thinking over the next few weeks,

up to the end of the season,

if I could run a few auctions

and call it the 1880 gold auction

and try and raise enough capital

to get the best money out of the auction, honestly.

So if we can find enough gold

and I can auction it at the best price,

I might be able to hit that target a bit quicker than hopefully.

I like that idea, Donnie.

That's very, very, very ingenious.

Hopefully come up with some really good top dollar.

It's a good way to make a little bit of extra money on it

because people get into that rhythm of betting on things

and it can become addictive.

I think that's a cracking idea. I really do.

I think that's probably one of your best.

Was it Ron's idea?

Ron had nothing to do with it, smart-arse.

On the Gold Coast,

Richie is about to find out

if he needs surgery for his broken hand.

He might need to put a pin into his knuckle,

so he's had x-rays and about to go in.

Find out if I need surgery.

Wish him luck.

Richie injured his hand

while he was helping to transport the wash plant

to its processing site.

Richie had himself...

The wash plant is finally in place.

So this last week has been an absolute nightmare.

Dan has wrangled a few of his mates

to help make the final adjustments before switching it on.

It's an exciting moment that's been months in the planning.

The wash plant ended up being a lot more work than I expected.

Yep, mate.

We had to raise the pad about 5.5 metres

and we've still got to do more work on that pad.

Dan's wife Kira and son Brayden

have kept the drive blower turning over,

banking an ounce a day off it.

But Team 1870 still only has 38 ounces of gold for the season.

Dan needs the wash plant to change all that.

I swear if I didn't have my mates Tim and Michael

and even my son Brayden helping, none of this would have happened.

We would not be where we're at now.

Until the wash plant is up and running,

Dan won't know if everything works OK.

There's a lot of moving parts, a lot can go wrong.

My biggest fear is the pump side of things.

The hose is the wrong hose, the fittings are the wrong fittings,

so we've just had to basically bodgy it up for now.

Dan's under huge pressure to get the wash plant working

before Richie returns to site.

OK, we've just finished now at the specialist.

Richard doesn't need to have any surgery, which is fantastic news.

We've just got a new splint on and, yeah.

And the good news is doctor's orders,

I don't have to use my hands for six weeks,

so Dan, you have to lift your game and do even more manual work.

The two besties are no longer seeing eye to eye.

Richie's losing his patience

with the constant delays and operational misfires,

and Dan's fed up with Richie and Kimberley's disappearing act.

I'd like for Richie and Kimbo to get here as well

so everyone can see the first bucket come through.

I'm knackered, but I'm excited.

At the Scratchy Moomine,

Matt and Damo's relentless pace has taken its toll on the machinery.

Scratchy, what have you done?

You bloody wrecked the bloody excavator.

Bloody hell.

Their main excavator has a broken water pump.

I don't know, you're staying on other things.

This water pump is a real pest.

Look at the bear, I can hear it.

It looks like a rock in a sock.

Want me to switch it on so we can have a look?

Yeah, if you want to switch it on,

we'll have a look and see what's going on.

Look at it going.

The boards, the bearings inside are going.

For a couple of days now,

we'll order another water pump on Monday.

It's Sunday now, so hopefully we can have it going again on Wednesday.

Matt and Damo are just 23 ounces off reaching their 500-ounce target.

They can't afford to be waiting on machine parts.

That means I've got to get down on the lemon.

The lemon has...

Al-Qaeda, what have you done?

Lee's excavator, a.k.a. The Lemon,

could just be their saving grace.

He's paid it now, he paid it last night,

the day before he comes back out here, so...

So, Leroy, the 15's gone into the account,

the incumbence to finance has now been resolved.

So, Lee's off trudging around the bush,

banging some pegs in,

and hopefully he doesn't trip over a snake.

Today is a monumental day for Lee.

It's time to peg his new lease next door to Scratchy Moon.

So, finally, we're at the point where we go and put the pegs in the ground

and the application's going in.

Now it's just time.

So, massive relief.

Good, good.

It's just a great feeling.

There we are.

We're off on this top corner here.

Yeah, we just want that, that corner.

We're off, we're at this point, just in here.

Pegging lease boundary marks is a difficult job in tough terrain.

Lee's brought his mate Josh along to ensure the marks are spot on.

So, he helps me on the tours, does a lot of the tours now.

And he's just good at what he does.

Lee plans to run gold mining tours on his new lease

to help fund the mining.

We just walk out to the spot,

make sure we're on the right numbers, and we're good.

We've got this corner, the other corner peg here,

we've just got to run our pegs beside this,

bang them in the ground, put our poly pipe on,

and start our pegging process.

The first boundary point is located towards the southeastern corner

of the Scratch and Moo lease.

This is Scratchy Moo's corner peg.

So, we'll just do a quick double check of our GPS.

Perfect. Let's do it.

It's official.

Lee is the new lease owner of the land, and he reports to no-one.

Let's go. Bang her in. Don't hit me hands.

Don't trust me.

You want to put a hammer in it?

Yeah, I need to put a hammer in it.

Put a hammer in it.

Only trouble is, he's not so good at manual labour.

That's not going to come out.

Pegging the first lease.

Yee-haw. Exciting times.

Very exciting times.

Oops.

Bingo.

I don't know.

I was very worried I was going to get gesumped on this,

so it's a damn good feeling pegging your own lease.

Yeah, it's exciting times.

I'll get down on that and start scratching away at the gravel.

See how we go.

But this one's out of action now for a few days.

While Lee celebrates his new lease, Matt and Damo are playing a waiting game.

It'll take three days for the new water pump to arrive,

and time is something they don't have.

I'm really feeling that time pressure right now

because, you know, at any stage, the storms are going to fire up

and it's not going to take much to turn that into a slop.

That means you can't get the truck in there and you can't get the payout.

And once that fills up, we're never, ever getting it out.

It's going to fill up with water at some stage

and then we're going to be not digging here again.

We're going to have to go find shallow stuff in there.

Where we are now, we're going to be sitting under three metres of water.

The 1870 processing site.

And Ritchie and Kimberley have breezed back in from the Gold Coast.

Ritchie was never going to miss this moment.

The launch of his precious $500,000 wash plant.

He is taking a piss now.

I got a little jealous, you know, Ritchie was going to have a spotlight.

I decided to one-up him and go break my thumb.

So I'm doing more work?

Absolutely.

There you go, you haven't heard of someone breaking a thumb shopping before.

But, yeah, the kids just said,

This is a professional shopper.

So the last week's been crazy.

Not full noise.

Looks like you've been busy.

Yeah, I got Michael and Tim, they've been helping out.

Yeah, there's probably 300 to 400 truckloads of dirt here

and probably another 300 to 400 to go to build the pad out wider.

I'm more nervous about the water flow than anything

because every fitting that was supplied is wrong, all the hoses wrong.

Every time, what is it?

Three steps forward, two steps backwards, you know.

We're pretty well ready to fire up, I think.

Shall we see if it runs?

Absolutely.

Guess so.

Let's make it happen.

Exciting.

Dan's worked day and night for months for this exact moment.

I thought Dan was taking a piss.

He hasn't tested anything.

So Ritchie is the maiden run.

Ritchie's on edge.

He's sunk more than a million dollars of his and Kimberley's money into the mine.

When I saw the final set-up of the wash plant, so excited.

He's desperate to start making some money to get a return off his investment.

The 1870 wash plant stirs to life.

Water's flowing.

It's not quite an El Dorado run, but the water is running.

Water's flowing.

Got the good side.

We fired the wash plant up and it was just the best feeling.

It's something I've been waiting for so long.

I've had dreams.

I've had nightmares about it.

Is that meant to be coming out the top?

I don't think so.

We knew we were going to have water leaks.

We knew we were going to probably have some water pressure issues.

But until we turned it on, we didn't know.

Wash plants are sensitive to pressure and flow.

Too much or too little water flow and the machine won't capture the gold.

The only way to find out if it works is to load in some dirt.

There we go.

He's going.

Start off with the first load.

It goes over the hopper, yeah.

I thought it just went all in the hole.

At Swiss Diggings, the Donnie and Ronnie show is firing up.

Donnie's on a new site now, so we'll see how we go.

But it's starting to get a bit warm now.

They need to get on the gold.

The stakes have never been higher for Donnie.

I know you're looking forward to having your own lease.

You've got to, Ron.

You're never going to make money working for us.

No.

When you're giving everyone else a cut, you're not going to get ahead.

Donnie and Ronnie are tackling the same dry river bed gold run as Dennis,

but from the opposite end.

At the moment, I'm coming through this ground here,

and I'm chasing this run up the hill, basically from where Donnie is.

I've got Donnie down where he is at the moment.

He's trying to chase the bottom end of it.

The idea is to keep going,

because I believe that this run continues right the way through.

I'm just going to give it a rip, Ron.

Donnie's come up with another bright idea.

He's using a ripper attachment to break up the hard rock

and reduce the amount of metal shavings left behind in the pit

from the excavator bucket,

and that should reduce the number of false positives they keep getting.

It cuts down the time factor

and also makes it easier on the person using the pit.

And I'm going home and not feeling so bloody sore.

Rips everything up, pulls it up, and just, it's good.

Dennis' decision to take on Donnie as a contractor.

He'd come up with the idea of running an auction,

and he's obviously put a bit of thought into it.

He's starting to look like a stroke of genius.

It's a brilliant thing for me,

because whatever he finds is going to end up,

well, practically nearly 100% of it's going to come back at me.

Ultimately, at the end of the day, I'm still winning out of it,

because, you know, I'm getting a sale of ground as well.

I'm in a win-win situation.

Dennis' day is on the up and up.

So, whee!

There you go, there's one.

There's a ripper pull here.

We're not actually killing ourselves any more.

Sounding good.

Love it, Dennis.

Oh, there he is there.

You beauty.

About six grams, I reckon, for sure. Maybe more.

Probably 1,100 bucks worth of gold, that.

That's an absolute cracker.

I'm absolutely... I'm stoked. It's really good.

That's good, mate.

You've just got a nice cracker one there.

Whee!

There's another beauty.

That's good.

Oh, shit.

That's a beauty, that is.

I reckon that'll probably go maybe three and a bit, four.

Lee's a peg away from securing his mining future,

right next door to Matt and Damo at Scratchy Moon.

He's hoping the lease will be a highly lucrative one.

All right, this is the last peg.

We'll need our GPS cords for this,

cos there's no other peg here, so...

Yeah, yeah, I'll bring them up now.

We should be pretty close here.

How close are we?

That's pretty much on the spot.

That looks damn good for me. Perfect.

Perfect. Mail her in. Let's get her in, hey.

This was the last one, wasn't it? Yeah, we'll just cut there.

Bingo. Done.

Last peg. Game on now.

It's a bit emotional. It's a big step, pegging a lease.

It's a lot of money.

You need a few balls to have a bit of a crack at this,

cos you can lose your money super quick doing this game, playing this game.

The current's starting to come through.

Losing money is something Richie's all too familiar with.

1870 needs to start paying, and fast.

The whole team is waiting anxiously

to see if the wash plant can actually process dirt.

If it can, there'll be high-fives all round.

A fail now, and serious questions will need to be asked.

I've spent over six months

researching different wash plants all over the world.

I've discussed this design with Dan along the way,

and we've changed things back and forth,

and it's totally customised for the ground we've got here.

It's going to be a bit of tweaking. Yeah.

It doesn't matter about a bit of dust flying away.

Getting those things fine-tuned, that's going to be the issue.

The fine-tuning stage might just be a little premature.

Dan has discovered a major problem with the feed rate.

So, it went from the best feeling ever to...

..the hopper.

It's probably got a bit too much weight on it.

And now Rich has spotted a second problem.

The water inlet to the shaker sluice is leaking.

When I arrived, part of the frame was bent,

so the water's hidden where it's been bent.

So I'm going to put something on top of it

to stop the water from coming down.

Bit of bark.

Nature's gift.

It's a lot better than it was.

Richie's bush fix is kind of working,

but Dan is still battling with the blocked hopper.

I can feel there's a big piece of slate that's on top of it.

If they want to get it going again,

Dan will need to climb in and clear the blockage.

Putting wet dirt through, got stuck to the side of the hopper,

so I've had to jump in there, clean up,

and open the chute at the bottom.

At scratch and move, Damo's swab cuts and excavators.

Rightio, we're hopping to the lemon excavator.

Give it a bit of a bad rub. It's not that bad.

Needs a bit of an overhaul, but it's got me a pretty good hold here.

The lemon excavator Matt and Damo accepted

as part of the trade for their lease

is now battling hard ground.

I came down and found a spot here,

and I pulled some amazing nuggets.

And they were banana-shaped nuggets,

so I nicknamed it the banana patch.

Super hard layer.

And then suddenly it just goes bang,

because the detector's just going wild

with that much gold underneath it,

so it's pretty exciting,

but it's really hard on the machines.

Lee has finished pegging his new lease

and is savouring the moment, taking it all in.

It's a bit ironic that the lemon, the so-called lemon,

is now in the banana cut, pulling out their gold,

which could actually save their season.

Lee's gone from hustler to saviour,

and there's more joy to come for Damo.

While Lee waits on the paperwork on his lease to go through,

he's agreed to help Team Scratchy Moo hit their target.

All right, this is where I'm starting to come alive, my friend.

It's such a little specific spot, though, for all the effort.

The quid pro quo is that Lee gets to learn what the ground is doing

just a few hundred metres away from his lease.

That's swarf.

That's swarf too.

That's swarf too.

It's all swarf.

How are you picking that?

Because it's on the surface and it's screaming,

and that's not where you find the gold.

Did you see what I just did?

You'll find massive pieces of bucket there.

That's not even a big swarf compared to the stuff that comes off.

Swarf is the little metal bits that come off the bucket

when you're digging the ground.

It's particularly bad when you're digging really hard ground.

All swarf down here.

You go in there and there is swarf everywhere.

That sounds a little bit different.

Are you digging or am I?

You're digging.

It's too hot.

All right.

Have a go.

Ooh, yes.

OK.

Donnie's under the pump.

He needs to raise 37.5 grand in five weeks.

It's been a little bit quiet in the middle of the day.

I'm digging in an area where there's a shallow creek,

about a metre deep in the creek,

and there's a shelf up on the left-hand side.

Hopefully we can drag a couple more before we knock off.

Got it.

The gravels look like they stop right there in front of you, Ron.

They just hit that wall and then it's all loam.

When I was trying to swing past him, I swang round him.

I was getting nothing in the top shelf run

and I was definitely getting nothing in the loam

and I started not to worry too much about the loam.

Yeah!

Ho-ho-ho!

What the...?

Shouldn't be galled up that high in that loam.

Things are looking up for Donnie and Ronnie,

and that's also good news for Dennis.

What have you got going on?

Have a listen to this.

Come on, bear nuggy.

You've got some distance above that.

Come on.

There it is.

Come on. How big's that?

Have a go at this.

That's a decent match.

Give me the wash.

What is it doing up there in the loam?

Oh, look at that.

How pretty is that?

That's solid too, by the way.

It looks pretty solid to me, man.

Good stuff. Yeah.

Cool. Cool, cool.

I'll go and get the scales.

What do you reckon, Ron?

Well, I said 15. I'll stick with 15.

I reckon 19.8.

I'm going to say...

25.

It's not 25.

It's not 15 either, I'll tell you.

Oh! 22.2!

That is a cracker.

Well, you're closer than what I was.

That is an absolute cracker.

That's not bad.

Where's those other ones we got this morning, Ron?

There's a bit of gold in that.

Oh, an ellion ounce!

34.8.

Plus I reckon 2 grams.

So definitely over an ounce.

Yeah, I think you've got over an ounce today.

I reckon just a couple of grams in there.

No doubt about it.

That's cool.

Five and a half thousand all of that.

Donnie and Ronnie's contribution

rounds off a nine-ounce week

for Team Swiss Diggings.

All Donnie needs now

is for his auction tonight

to be a success.

At 87, Dan is inching his way out of trouble.

Yeah, it's getting there now.

We had a fair bit of rain a couple of days ago,

so all our pay is just sticking.

But it's still a case of two steps forward,

one step back.

The amount of water

washing over the sluice boxes

is way out of balance.

The one on the left is flowing freely,

but the one on the right

has barely any water running over it.

I'm a bit worried about the water flow in this one.

It's not going to be enough

to do what we need it to do.

The water flow needs to be strong enough

to wash away the gravel

and trap the heavier gold particles

in the ripple trays.

I feel like if we need to spread this out,

it's going to bulk up.

I think this is going to need a fair bit of work, this.

See if we can work out if we can adjust

the speed of the vibrations of them.

The water flow needs to change.

The level needs to change.

Yeah, there's heaps...

There's so much things I want to be tinkering with,

but...

Yeah, I'll just be...

I'm going to hurt myself again if I do it.

Dan's finally got the hopper clear.

Yeah.

Kill the conveyor, please.

But it's crisis...
