Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:02,270
We ain't making a painting.
2
00:00:02,610 --> 00:00:03,890
We're only moving gold.
3
00:00:04,210 --> 00:00:05,930
I'm this. Gold rush.
4
00:00:06,190 --> 00:00:07,250
Woo! All right.
5
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:08,490
Web move.
6
00:00:08,590 --> 00:00:11,090
Parker's crew runs into double trouble.
7
00:00:11,350 --> 00:00:13,810
Trying to do all this with a few people
is pretty ridiculous.
8
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:16,090
More power. More power.
9
00:00:17,950 --> 00:00:24,950
Oh, you see that? That is a sluice box.
They did that 80
10
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:26,930
years ago. So I think it'd be more
defensive.
11
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:28,510
Tony B.
12
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:31,280
goes on a treasure hunt for lost gold.
13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,140
All we got to do is just take it out.
14
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:39,060
Here we go again.
15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Misfits, are we ready to rumble? And
Fred Lewis.
16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,160
Hi, we're about to witness history.
17
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,040
With his rookie crew. Yeah!
18
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:51,360
Finally gets loosey.
19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,180
I'm pretty sure this is gold mining.
20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,460
Woo! Let's get some gold, boys!
21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,080
Let me know when you got the last
bucket. We're up here ready to shut
22
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:21,740
All right, let's go, folks.
23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,800
All right, we got it. We got it up here.
24
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:29,000
That wouldn't be a plant move without
some corn rain.
25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,560
At Indian River, Parker Schnabel is over
a third of the way into the short
26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,560
season.
27
00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:39,620
But he's making up for lost time with a
hot start.
28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,400
We're definitely trying to take a new
approach this year with moving the
29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400
more often.
30
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:47,230
and trucking a lot less pay.
31
00:01:47,530 --> 00:01:52,370
So Luther's just finishing up. We're
about to start a plant move.
32
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:57,110
I'm just looking forward to doing this
with you in October.
33
00:01:57,430 --> 00:01:58,950
Oh, yeah, when it gets cold.
34
00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:00,150
Yeah, can't wait.
35
00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:04,210
Parker's new strategy is working.
36
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:10,530
The team has been getting 100 ounces
more gold per week than last season.
37
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,680
He always started cleaning up with a
cigar.
38
00:02:17,460 --> 00:02:22,840
After running for just 10 days at the
current location, Lucifer is ready to be
39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,400
cleaned and moved.
40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,160
I'm hoping there's good gold in there.
We will find out quite shortly here.
41
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:32,420
Are you here to help or just visit?
42
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Visit.
43
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:39,700
I can feel you spraying me with water.
44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,540
I've been holding off.
45
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,940
I've been holding off.
46
00:02:48,260 --> 00:02:52,520
Rookie plant boss Tyson Lee loads the
first tank of concentrate.
47
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:55,200
Want to make sure that that's level in
there?
48
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:59,600
It doesn't need to be level in there.
Well, I mean, so it's not spilling out
49
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,960
that side. He just means so it's not
spilling out, Nick.
50
00:03:02,380 --> 00:03:03,500
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,080
We ain't making a painting.
52
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,160
We're only moving gold instead.
53
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:11,540
Those are in the back.
54
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:22,340
Four miles away in the last cut, co
-foreman Mitch Blaschke and Brennan
55
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:24,900
Ruhl are running wash plant Big Red.
56
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,140
How's it going?
57
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,640
Oh, not too bad.
58
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:34,520
We're ready to move the wash plant
again.
59
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,740
You guys have a plant move coming up
tomorrow then, huh? Yep, for sure.
60
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,900
And if that can't find the other plant
to plant, I'll move it.
61
00:03:45,870 --> 00:03:48,730
What's our game plan for tomorrow? I
mean, if we're trying to move both
62
00:03:48,730 --> 00:03:51,310
at the same time, that's going to be a
handful.
63
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:52,910
Okay.
64
00:03:53,110 --> 00:03:55,330
We're going to both need the rigging.
65
00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:57,390
Rigging, yeah, that's going to be a
problem.
66
00:03:58,050 --> 00:04:03,970
There's going to be a few things that
have to get juggled, but it should be
67
00:04:03,970 --> 00:04:04,970
the usual.
68
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:07,250
Perfect.
69
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:09,790
Let's do it.
70
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:13,810
To get ready for the move.
71
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,399
Brennan builds a wash plant pad.
72
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,120
Part of all this is, we've never had two
plants ready to move at the exact same
73
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,920
time. You know, we're already stripped
thin with people not being here, and if
74
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,840
anything is wrong in either plant move,
you know, it's really going to set us
75
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:31,840
behind.
76
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:34,540
Mitch starts the teardown.
77
00:04:36,020 --> 00:04:37,240
Hey, Chris, you got a copy?
78
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,040
Yeah, Mitch, what up?
79
00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:42,140
Everything's done sleuthing, and we just
need to clean this up so we can move
80
00:04:42,140 --> 00:04:43,140
these around.
81
00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:46,260
We're landing up Sluicifer. Full box.
82
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:48,440
You're still at Sluicifer.
83
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,260
I got my whole crew. I can't move them
now.
84
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:55,760
We're going to be waiting on you.
85
00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:57,460
Sorry, bud.
86
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,900
All right. We'll just get here as soon
as we can. We'll figure something out.
87
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,120
Talk to you later.
88
00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:10,360
If we're already starting the morning
this way, I hate to see how the rest of
89
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,360
the day is going.
90
00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:28,720
Next morning, in the lay -down yard,
mechanic Shane Smith arrives in search
91
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,620
equipment for the slucifer move.
92
00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:37,220
We're a little short on rigging here.
I'm trying to beat Mitch and Brennan to
93
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:40,580
the punch because I think we're going to
be ready to move slucifer before they
94
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:44,500
are. I just care about having the
rigging before they come and get it.
95
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,360
Then we'll have no choice. We get to
move first.
96
00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:02,830
Well, we got a big day then, both watch
plants, same time. We've never had to do
97
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:03,729
this before.
98
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:07,510
I mean, you guys got the 750, so you got
some horsepower down there for dragging
99
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:08,269
sluice first.
100
00:06:08,270 --> 00:06:10,010
We got 480 is the only thing.
101
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:12,530
It's going to be a challenge for sure.
102
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:13,890
Who's going to be up first?
103
00:06:14,110 --> 00:06:15,650
Yeah, I bet you it's going to be us
there.
104
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:16,930
Oh, yeah?
105
00:06:17,330 --> 00:06:18,330
Well, we'll see.
106
00:06:20,330 --> 00:06:22,250
Well, we got the rig in, so they can
have to.
107
00:06:22,570 --> 00:06:23,570
Fight us for it.
108
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:28,090
All right. Well, see you at the end of
the day. Which one's shaking first? Good
109
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:29,090
luck, guys. All right.
110
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:23,840
On Paradise Hill, Klondike legend Tony B
is making up for a late start.
111
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:31,630
At the Mega Cup, which Tony believes
could get him 3 ,000 ounces of gold.
112
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:37,070
Son Mike is chewing through 350 yards of
pay dirt an hour. Yeah, James, how's it
113
00:07:37,070 --> 00:07:37,869
going up there?
114
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:39,430
My day is going great.
115
00:07:39,910 --> 00:07:41,410
Yeah, that's perfect, James. Keep it
going, eh?
116
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:47,270
Another nice day of fluthing, which is
good, since the only thing fluthing
117
00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:48,270
now is a trommel.
118
00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:56,430
To cash in on high gold prices, Tony's
also been searching for other quick
119
00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:57,610
scores on the hill.
120
00:07:58,190 --> 00:08:02,170
So Mike is losing weight right now. It's
not quite enough for what we want to
121
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:06,610
do. We got a lot of hunker cuts. We got
100 ounces out of the piggy bank.
122
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:10,930
So we kind of have a plan. I always
wanted to check out the whole time of
123
00:08:10,930 --> 00:08:15,510
sailing. And if there ever was a time,
then today the gold price is high, fuel
124
00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:16,369
price is low.
125
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,510
So let's see what we can find out then.
126
00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:24,750
Half a mile away from Mike's promo.
127
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:31,060
Tony spotted a pile of rocks and gravel
that he believes are tailings, left over
128
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:36,039
by old -timers, lying below the remains
of an old sluice run.
129
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:41,659
Morning again, Kevin. Morning again,
Kevin. Do you copy?
130
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:43,159
Yo, what's up?
131
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,740
Can you meet me at the old -timer's
tailings place?
132
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:53,040
There's quite a bit of history on this
hill.
133
00:08:53,550 --> 00:08:57,710
This hill is the first hill that had
mechanical mining in the Klondike. Oh,
134
00:08:57,710 --> 00:09:01,410
yeah. They want to jump down in the
gully. She was there. Yeah. But I didn't
135
00:09:01,410 --> 00:09:03,030
think you guys ever seen this one
before.
136
00:09:03,250 --> 00:09:04,250
Nope.
137
00:09:04,370 --> 00:09:06,430
Now, did you recently get told? No.
138
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:09,090
I've been wondering for 35 years.
139
00:09:13,850 --> 00:09:15,690
Oh, you see that? That wooden thing
here?
140
00:09:16,510 --> 00:09:17,870
That is the spruce box.
141
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,480
They did that 80 years ago because they
monitored that hill, and in those days
142
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,640
they had one wooden clues box. It was
probably a couple hundred feet long, and
143
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,140
they cleaned that clues box up once a
year in those days.
144
00:09:30,340 --> 00:09:34,160
They quit in the end of the 50s. They
probably started around when the gold
145
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,160
happened. Probably.
146
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,140
The remains of the old mine working date
from the 1940s.
147
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,480
Old -timers used hoses to wash valuable
pay dirt from the hillside into the
148
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,480
sluice rust.
149
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,580
Their basic technology only caught half
the gold. But the ground was so rich,
150
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,380
they still pulled in thousands of
ounces.
151
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:06,640
Now, Tony wants to find out what they
left behind in their discarded tailings
152
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,640
pile.
153
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,500
It would be nice to get an excavator
there because nobody had done that
154
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:13,760
And see what we've got. Yeah.
155
00:10:14,439 --> 00:10:17,740
Today, it doesn't take much gold to make
a living. No, not at the current
156
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:20,920
prices. So I think it'd be worth a
venture. What do you guys think?
157
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:23,540
I'd like to check it out, see what's in
there. Yeah, that as well.
158
00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:27,200
Throw in some test with a little trommel
maybe. Yep. And then we'll just take it
159
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,200
from there.
160
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
You see all them boards in the bank?
161
00:10:32,420 --> 00:10:35,280
Oh, yeah. That's where the material used
to come over the hill, right?
162
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:38,560
Oh, yeah. All the crap, they flew us
over the top.
163
00:10:39,220 --> 00:10:41,480
So we got to check all the way down.
164
00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:47,660
Tony's located the old -timer's tailings
pile halfway down the hill.
165
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:53,140
Now he must dig up a sample to find out
if it contains lost gold.
166
00:11:12,490 --> 00:11:13,490
know about it.
167
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:19,990
Monica, you gotta put more in than that.
168
00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:23,730
He's not the one that has to lift them.
Into the... Fill them up.
169
00:11:24,510 --> 00:11:25,510
Fill them up.
170
00:11:32,810 --> 00:11:38,830
Monica runs the tailings through the
test trommel to send up to the gold room
171
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:42,910
where Tony Pens to concentrate.
172
00:11:48,650 --> 00:11:50,010
Time will tell you shortly.
173
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:55,110
If it is good, we'll close it.
174
00:11:57,570 --> 00:11:58,570
Look.
175
00:11:59,150 --> 00:12:02,970
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten.
176
00:12:03,510 --> 00:12:05,190
You see that?
177
00:12:05,530 --> 00:12:07,030
It's all over the pen.
178
00:12:07,410 --> 00:12:09,050
That's a loaded roll.
179
00:12:11,370 --> 00:12:14,050
And that's a very, very good indicator
down there.
180
00:12:16,350 --> 00:12:17,890
Hey, Mini Beats, do you copy?
181
00:12:18,190 --> 00:12:18,909
I do.
182
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:20,550
Come have a look at your next project.
183
00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:21,790
Be right out.
184
00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:24,270
You know, it is all fine and fine and
fine.
185
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:26,870
But, I mean, it's all through the thing.
186
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:31,410
Look.
187
00:12:32,170 --> 00:12:33,170
See that?
188
00:12:34,630 --> 00:12:37,210
Loaded with it. Look at it. There's a
lot of gold in there.
189
00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:40,030
It's actually exciting.
190
00:12:40,740 --> 00:12:42,220
Oh, and you're so excited, though?
191
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,440
No, but you know what I mean, right? You
look at this pile for 35 years and you
192
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,660
wonder. Oh, my God.
193
00:12:48,980 --> 00:12:51,740
And now you finally win that, you don't
feel too smart.
194
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:57,000
I think the next step will be we'll put
them through the New Zealand plant.
195
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,140
That is all stripped, ready to go, been
washed before.
196
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,440
We're likely to be sluicing there for
three, four weeks.
197
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,000
That'd be kind of like free money. I
like it.
198
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,820
You know, and whatever we get out of
that, that'll make a difference to the
199
00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:09,820
season, too.
200
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Misfits, are we ready to rumble?
201
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,220
Let's get ready to rumble!
202
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:36,900
In Oregon's Elkhorn Mountains, rookie
mine boss Fred Lewis has gambled his
203
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:42,780
$20 ,000, setting up a gold mine with a
Greenhorn crew of combat veterans.
204
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,620
We've been here four weeks with only
half an ounce of gold to show.
205
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,220
Problem after problem keeps plaguing us
here on the claim. If we don't get it
206
00:13:51,220 --> 00:13:52,220
moving today...
207
00:13:52,410 --> 00:13:54,770
The rest of the season is going to be a
washout, and we're going to go home with
208
00:13:54,770 --> 00:13:55,770
nothing.
209
00:13:57,570 --> 00:13:59,110
Stand by, stand by, stand by.
210
00:13:59,930 --> 00:14:04,850
Fred's foreman, Kendall Madden, is the
only member of the team with any mining
211
00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:05,850
experience.
212
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:07,370
You ready?
213
00:14:07,410 --> 00:14:08,410
Are you ready?
214
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:14,010
He's in charge of firing up the watch
class, Colonel Nugget, for their first
215
00:14:14,010 --> 00:14:15,370
full week of sleuthing.
216
00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:16,970
Water's coming.
217
00:14:17,170 --> 00:14:18,170
Water's coming!
218
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,640
We're actually giving it pager right
now, so it's a victory.
219
00:14:37,740 --> 00:14:43,240
This crew of veterans arrived three
weeks ago on a mission to turn their
220
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,240
around.
221
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,500
You know, gold means a lot to all of us.
Just another disabled bat who kind of,
222
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,780
you know, come on rough times and out of
work for a year and a half.
223
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:59,320
Special Operations Sergeant Kyle
Pletschke sees the plan.
224
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:01,940
We're here to dig. We're here to find
gold.
225
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Prove to ourselves, prove to the world
that, hey, find yourself down in your
226
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,240
luck, it doesn't matter.
227
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,120
Pick yourself up, go again.
228
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,700
Go for the gold, baby.
229
00:15:12,020 --> 00:15:16,920
I truly feel like I'm blessed with this
group of veterans because we can trust
230
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,620
each other so much. We can rely on each
other in some pretty significant ways,
231
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:23,660
and I'm expecting these guys to come out
like rock stars.
232
00:15:28,270 --> 00:15:31,990
Fred and I were both at the Special
Operations Language School at Fort
233
00:15:32,010 --> 00:15:33,010
North Carolina.
234
00:15:33,070 --> 00:15:35,190
Less than two months later, we got
married in Vegas.
235
00:15:36,110 --> 00:15:41,770
Fred's wife, Kara, Army Psychological
Operations Specialist, has come in to
236
00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:42,770
manage the claim.
237
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:47,150
Fred might be the mine boss, but I am
the mine manager.
238
00:15:47,510 --> 00:15:51,210
He's going to have to deal with me
telling him when things need to get
239
00:15:51,570 --> 00:15:55,250
I have never managed a mine before. I've
never actually mined before.
240
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:58,220
So it's definitely a hands -on learning
experience.
241
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,340
But I've been ordering the books that we
need. We need our surface mine daily
242
00:16:02,340 --> 00:16:04,900
inspection book. We need our checklist
for the vehicles.
243
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:09,180
Our MSHA certificates arrived because we
just got done doing our MSHA training.
244
00:16:10,220 --> 00:16:13,860
MSHA is the Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
245
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,260
They give us what we need to be to be
compliant for our safety. And if we
246
00:16:19,260 --> 00:16:22,240
compliant, if we don't follow the rules,
MSHA will come out here, and they will
247
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,780
tag us with massive fines.
248
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,600
There's a lot of stuff I'm seeing that
I'm really nervous we might not be
249
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,600
compliant with.
250
00:16:30,300 --> 00:16:33,360
We'd get hit with a fine big time if
those inspectors came right now.
251
00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:34,680
We'd be in a lot of trouble.
252
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:39,000
I knew that we were going to financially
struggle just trying to get by. So I
253
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,500
came up with this. I honestly didn't
think he could pull it together, but he
254
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,500
has.
255
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,060
However, we actually personally know the
crew, and these aren't just his
256
00:16:47,060 --> 00:16:50,740
friends. They're kind of our family, and
you don't want to let family down.
257
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,520
If this collapses, if this doesn't work
out, We're screwed. They're screwed too.
258
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,880
So there's a lot on the line. It's a lot
of pressure.
259
00:17:01,140 --> 00:17:02,420
So I can go a little faster.
260
00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:05,700
Now we're running pay. We're catching
gold.
261
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,940
That's why we're here.
262
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:09,599
Yep. Yep. That's perfect. Just like
that.
263
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Water flow is pretty good. Our feed rate
is pretty consistent.
264
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,200
Just got to keep doing it thousands of
times over.
265
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,099
So right now I'm going to climb up in
the...
266
00:17:23,870 --> 00:17:26,810
Colonel, and see if I can't put some of
that stuff not meeting.
267
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,460
You are just standing up there with no
harness, nothing, any little thing could
268
00:17:57,460 --> 00:17:58,460
have happened.
269
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:04,000
We just have to stop to get everything
intra -ready. We are not ready to be
270
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,920
running at all. We have a lot to do.
271
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,120
All right, listen, I've got this list in
the truck.
272
00:18:08,900 --> 00:18:11,400
I love you, babe. I know. You better
take this serious.
273
00:18:11,660 --> 00:18:12,660
I'm taking it serious.
274
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,140
If an inspector shows up, we are going
to get hit with at least $100 ,000 worth
275
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:20,500
of fines. We're going to get shut down.
276
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:24,740
There are certain things I'm really glad
to have Fred around in.
277
00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:27,500
One of them is getting yelled at right
now.
278
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,940
I mean, what does he really want,
though? We got hard hats, right? What
279
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:31,940
we need?
280
00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:35,300
We have to get a protective cage around
the belt. We need rails on the catwalk.
281
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,160
We need a weatherproof power box to the
generator in the plant.
282
00:18:39,460 --> 00:18:40,740
So are you sure we have to do all this
stuff?
283
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,300
I'm 100 % certain.
284
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,560
But if you don't want to take my word
for it and you want them to come and
285
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,500
us down and send all these guys home
with nothing, be my guest.
286
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:50,460
Because that's on you.
287
00:18:51,310 --> 00:18:52,310
It's not going to be on me.
288
00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:07,130
At Indian River, for the first time
ever, Parker's crew is moving two watch
289
00:19:07,130 --> 00:19:08,670
lines on the same day.
290
00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:13,190
Both crews need to complete their move
in a single step.
291
00:19:14,990 --> 00:19:19,350
Right now, we've kind of got things
going on that are all not the most
292
00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:20,350
enjoyable.
293
00:19:21,570 --> 00:19:22,710
Big rat's moving.
294
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:24,830
Sluicifer's moving.
295
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:29,990
And hopefully we can get it sorted out.
It's catching up on us a little bit
296
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:30,990
because we're four -handed.
297
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:33,350
Well, do you want to hang that over?
298
00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:35,470
Sounds good. I'll walk on over.
299
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:39,010
On the promised land... We might have to
go this way.
300
00:19:39,390 --> 00:19:44,210
...rookie plant boss Tyson will move
Sluicifer with Parker's biggest
301
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:45,450
the 750.
302
00:19:46,370 --> 00:19:49,090
We've got the cables all hooked up to
Sluicifer and...
303
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:50,440
Going to drag her over there.
304
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,780
While at the last cut.
305
00:19:57,020 --> 00:19:58,620
Woo! All right! Yeah!
306
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,040
Plant move!
307
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:07,360
Parker's trusted co -foreman Brennan
must make do moving Big Red 140 yards
308
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,660
the smaller 480.
309
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,260
Dude, we want to show those boys up,
right? Yeah, yeah.
310
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,940
Big Red, let's do this!
311
00:20:22,510 --> 00:20:25,830
have a whole crew out here. Now we've
done it fast, now we do it quickly.
312
00:20:26,310 --> 00:20:29,690
I mean right now we're trying to do all
this with two people, it's pretty
313
00:20:29,690 --> 00:20:30,690
ridiculous.
314
00:20:31,050 --> 00:20:33,630
I don't know, I've moved this thing a
million times, it's not too bad.
315
00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:38,830
Usually I have Mitch walk alongside me,
guide me, but we got a lot to do today,
316
00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:42,270
so the more he can do while I'm gone
doing this, the better.
317
00:20:44,030 --> 00:20:45,890
We're going to do everything we can
here, just keep going.
318
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:50,190
Hopefully Brandon gets this over there
without screwing anything up.
319
00:20:54,090 --> 00:20:57,330
I'm a little bit nervous pulling it up
that hill because it is pretty steep.
320
00:20:57,550 --> 00:21:01,290
If we don't have our 700, the timing
couldn't have been worse, but you know,
321
00:21:01,290 --> 00:21:02,290
may be as low as it got.
322
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:13,950
It won't go.
323
00:21:15,410 --> 00:21:16,930
You've got to be kidding me.
324
00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:20,830
Whoa!
325
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,440
Over at the promised land, rookie plant
boss Tyson is hauling sluiceable 120
326
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,540
yards to its new pad.
327
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:53,820
He uses the 750 to pull the 45 -ton
plant to its new pad.
328
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,240
It's gonna be a one -shot deal.
329
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,440
What are you concerned about?
330
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,960
It's pretty soft.
331
00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:09,100
If he sinks it in, we're just screwed.
332
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:10,460
Gotcha.
333
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,120
Everybody here knows what they're doing.
334
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,240
Hopefully we can get it sorted out.
335
00:22:15,940 --> 00:22:16,940
You know.
336
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,040
The best we can.
337
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:23,340
Time for the uphill.
338
00:22:24,740 --> 00:22:26,640
Yeah, okay. We can get this up the hill,
okay.
339
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,380
Moving it with the 750, it's the biggest
machine we got.
340
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,040
So it's the right one for the job.
341
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,380
He doesn't usually pull the loop spur
that often.
342
00:22:34,890 --> 00:22:36,710
So hopefully he'll get it right the
first time.
343
00:22:38,490 --> 00:22:41,050
We made the ramp out of quartz tail
ends. It's pretty soft.
344
00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:46,270
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
345
00:22:49,950 --> 00:22:53,230
Whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it. Stop
right there.
346
00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:59,490
One mistake, and then we've got to pull
it down and redo the whole ramp again.
347
00:23:00,050 --> 00:23:01,050
Come on, you.
348
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:02,310
Come on.
349
00:23:03,210 --> 00:23:06,490
This wash plant weighs 90 ,000 pounds
and it's just pulling me down.
350
00:23:11,110 --> 00:23:12,390
Come on, let's go.
351
00:23:14,010 --> 00:23:15,730
Come on, get up this hill.
352
00:23:16,970 --> 00:23:19,010
It won't go. It won't go!
353
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:40,560
At the promised land, rookie plant boss
Tyson Lee is working against the clock,
354
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,840
struggling to drag Lucifer up a soft
pan.
355
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,440
Man, this lock plant's heavy.
356
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,500
Tyson, come out and throw your bucket
flat. Sit in there, and then just throw
357
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:52,379
your bucket out.
358
00:23:52,380 --> 00:23:54,960
Okay. You don't get going. You just got
to keep doing it until you get up the
359
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:55,960
hill.
360
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,560
There you go.
361
00:23:59,580 --> 00:24:00,580
Come on, you.
362
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:01,960
Come on.
363
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,000
Let's go get up this hill.
364
00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:10,480
Hey, Shane, how does it look?
365
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,000
You just got to keep doing it. It hits
by hand.
366
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,680
Whoo!
367
00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:18,860
How we looking, Shane?
368
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,400
We're going to make it. Things are
coming pretty good now.
369
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,580
Somebody watch my back end. Half track.
370
00:24:55,690 --> 00:24:56,690
Nice job, dude.
371
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:57,910
You're looking pretty.
372
00:24:58,130 --> 00:24:59,130
Perfect. You happy?
373
00:24:59,370 --> 00:25:01,690
Yeah, I'm happy. We're going to win this
one.
374
00:25:01,910 --> 00:25:02,709
That's good.
375
00:25:02,710 --> 00:25:03,710
Thanks, man.
376
00:25:09,470 --> 00:25:15,530
Back at the last cut, six hours into the
move, Brennan has already got Big Red
377
00:25:15,530 --> 00:25:16,650
onto its form.
378
00:25:17,890 --> 00:25:18,890
How'd that go?
379
00:25:19,170 --> 00:25:20,350
Told me winch cat.
380
00:25:20,730 --> 00:25:21,830
I only see one problem.
381
00:25:22,170 --> 00:25:23,530
What? Going the wrong way.
382
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:28,700
Back. Big.
383
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,120
We can spin it up here.
384
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,200
That's going to tear things up. You can
already see how bad it's digging in.
385
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,540
The easiest thing would be to pull it
back down the hill, bring it back up,
386
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:41,900
have it right where it needs to be.
387
00:25:43,020 --> 00:25:44,020
It's all right.
388
00:25:48,180 --> 00:25:51,580
We're just trying to win a race here and
show the other guys up.
389
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,920
We're just doing things twice. It's
pretty cool.
390
00:26:12,069 --> 00:26:18,130
After half a day dragging the plant onto
the pad, Brennan now has to spend
391
00:26:18,130 --> 00:26:20,370
another two hours turning it around.
392
00:26:27,310 --> 00:26:28,310
Now we wait.
393
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:36,450
We want to be up and running before Big
Red is.
394
00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:40,050
Lucifer's all set up. We got the feeder
in, the super stacker in.
395
00:26:40,810 --> 00:26:43,810
Water pump's in, pipeline's in. Ready to
fire up.
396
00:26:57,870 --> 00:26:59,650
Well, we fired it up. I hope we won.
397
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:05,350
Hey, Brenda, you got a copy?
398
00:27:06,290 --> 00:27:07,290
What's going on, Tyson?
399
00:27:07,610 --> 00:27:08,770
We're up and running, man.
400
00:27:09,030 --> 00:27:11,330
I think you might have beat us. We
kicked your ass.
401
00:27:13,690 --> 00:27:15,830
Good for you, bud. Good for you.
402
00:27:19,450 --> 00:27:22,010
Man, like, if you would have brought the
plan in the right way, we would have
403
00:27:22,010 --> 00:27:25,250
beat them, even though they had the 750
and more help. Whatever. Come on, man.
404
00:27:25,290 --> 00:27:26,290
Yeah, well, whatever.
405
00:27:30,890 --> 00:27:31,890
We're back, Clewson.
406
00:27:32,490 --> 00:27:35,470
A lot better than the other guy. We're
up there backwards this morning.
407
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:37,590
A little bit of a brain fart going on.
408
00:28:01,420 --> 00:28:07,620
On Paradise Hill, Tony Beetz has
discovered gold in a monster pile of old
409
00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:08,820
-timers' tailings.
410
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,760
The gold
411
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,520
-rich
412
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:21,120
tailings are lying right on the surface,
so Tony can run them straight away.
413
00:28:46,379 --> 00:28:53,280
With gold prices up and the cost of
running the tailings so low, these
414
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,800
tailings could give Tony a massive extra
payday.
415
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,580
Monica feeds the kiwi plant with 100
yards of pater an hour.
416
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,900
While rookie loader operator Desiree
Likens... Hey, Desiree!
417
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,500
...clears fine tailings from the end of
the spruce rug. Looks pretty nice on
418
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:17,960
there. Yep, everything's good.
419
00:29:26,340 --> 00:29:32,060
Tony, there's extra pumps about what we
can get from this old -timer cut.
420
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,500
because right now it's just the time
we're going.
421
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,120
Hey, Desiree?
422
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,160
Desiree?
423
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,880
Look out!
424
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,340
It's off the plant! It's off the plant!
Pull it!
425
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,360
so you can get this done, the better,
because it just costs enough money.
426
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:17,860
On
427
00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:26,420
Paradise
428
00:30:26,420 --> 00:30:31,460
Hill, Monica B's loader operator has run
into the wash plant.
429
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,400
I hit the cable and the tray fell.
430
00:30:41,860 --> 00:30:43,080
Gavin, do you got the Gavin?
431
00:30:43,660 --> 00:30:47,240
The loose run is off.
432
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:59,640
Every hour the plant is down costs Tony
up to $2 ,000 in lost gold.
433
00:30:59,940 --> 00:31:00,940
Yep.
434
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,240
How's that welded on that side? One sec.
435
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:19,640
Our hoe operator hooked the cable there,
the bucket, when they were pulling out,
436
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:25,100
and that pulled this beam forward, and
that caused this run to get pulled
437
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:27,720
forward, and that twisted our beam over
here.
438
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,680
Fun, fun, fun.
439
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,680
All we're going to have to do is bend
that bar back straight, weld the piece
440
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,920
back on relatively straight, and then
reset the angle on the run.
441
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:47,120
Welder Cody Hunter removes the sluice
run to get to the broken beam.
442
00:31:50,740 --> 00:31:55,660
Pull that back there. Put a couple
little tacks on it.
443
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:57,900
Split this, we'll be done.
444
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,680
He cuts a slot so he can bend it.
445
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,280
Yeah, we'll just pull that back there.
446
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,560
That's hot.
447
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:14,090
and then welds it back together.
448
00:32:18,310 --> 00:32:22,170
Heaven. Beam's all straightened back out
now. It's all welded up and ready for
449
00:32:22,170 --> 00:32:23,129
the next time.
450
00:32:23,130 --> 00:32:24,450
Beautiful. You like that?
451
00:32:25,170 --> 00:32:26,170
Thanks.
452
00:32:28,490 --> 00:32:30,590
Gonna put this run back on.
453
00:32:31,570 --> 00:32:32,570
Reset the box.
454
00:32:33,110 --> 00:32:36,990
That's the current plan. We'll see what
blows up between now and the end of
455
00:32:36,990 --> 00:32:37,929
that.
456
00:32:37,930 --> 00:32:38,930
Ready now?
457
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:41,860
Another one bites the dust.
458
00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:46,480
The fix has cost them eight hours.
459
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,680
Let's do this.
460
00:32:49,940 --> 00:32:50,940
Fire it up.
461
00:32:57,300 --> 00:33:02,280
Right when we started going, I think we
were glistening for 15, 20 minutes.
462
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:05,300
We ran into a snake.
463
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,080
Now it's all fixed.
464
00:33:07,580 --> 00:33:10,440
I'm excited to see what we're going to
get there.
465
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,180
It is kind of nifty that the old
-timers, they did a bunch of sleuthing,
466
00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:18,180
they lost so much.
467
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:22,140
So it'll be very interesting to see what
we're going to pull out of what all
468
00:33:22,140 --> 00:33:23,140
they missed.
469
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:24,800
It did look good in the mini -trauma.
470
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,100
As for what we're going to get out,
hopefully a lot more.
471
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,380
We'll find out when we put it on the
table.
472
00:33:42,860 --> 00:33:45,620
You know, since we've been here, we've
had to shut down multiple times.
473
00:33:46,380 --> 00:33:49,500
I know the guys are getting antsy, and I
know they're biting at the bit to get
474
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:52,440
going, and this is just another letdown
for them.
475
00:33:53,180 --> 00:34:00,080
In Oregon, Special Forces medic turned
gold miner Fred Lewis is at a
476
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,540
Just doing what I have to do, keep us
running.
477
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:10,040
Wife and mine manager Kara has pulled
the plug until they can meet safety
478
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,540
standards. I'm the one who is making
sure that we are MSAW compliant and that
479
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:18,000
are following all the rules and doing
everything that the state of Oregon
480
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,960
us to do in order for our mine to be
safe, for our mine to be legal. We can't
481
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,120
afford any problems.
482
00:34:24,659 --> 00:34:27,639
MSAW is the authority in charge of
mining.
483
00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:33,280
If they find violation of safety rules,
they can shut down the mine and
484
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,159
fine the operator hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
485
00:34:39,190 --> 00:34:44,530
all i wanted to do was come out here get
a little bit of gold while the world is
486
00:34:44,530 --> 00:34:50,989
going crazy yeah this m shock is a lot
more stringent than i expected
487
00:34:50,989 --> 00:34:57,870
but it is crazy dangerous so we got to
stay extra safe because we want to
488
00:34:57,870 --> 00:35:04,710
make sure everyone comes out with all
their fingers and toes to meet
489
00:35:05,420 --> 00:35:09,120
Foreman Kendall needs to move the
generator onto stable ground.
490
00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:14,780
We got the generator all cleaned up,
ready to go. We took the hood off so we
491
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:16,760
move her down into its permanent
position.
492
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:23,240
You've got to remember, if you slip up,
this thing full of oil and gas all
493
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:27,740
spills into our water and essentially
ruins our season. So, no pressure or
494
00:35:27,740 --> 00:35:29,340
anything, but... No, no, no, whatever.
495
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,600
You know.
496
00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:32,280
Three weeks ago.
497
00:35:32,780 --> 00:35:38,000
Master Sergeant Stephan generally's only
experience of heavy equipment was in
498
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
the military.
499
00:35:39,060 --> 00:35:43,160
For my first 10 years in the Army, I
commanded a Bradley fighting vehicle.
500
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:45,640
Almost up off the ground.
501
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:52,140
Driving mechanized vehicles in the Army,
it's a lot different.
502
00:35:53,500 --> 00:35:54,500
I'll swing out.
503
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,420
All right, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
504
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,160
Right there.
505
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,980
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
506
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,840
Nice and strong.
507
00:36:04,140 --> 00:36:05,140
There you go.
508
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,420
We only have one generator.
509
00:36:11,260 --> 00:36:12,960
It glows.
510
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:16,280
Baby movement, feather hands, feather
fingers.
511
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,020
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on to it. Stay
there.
512
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,200
All right, we're going to chalk this
generator. Hopefully, he never has to
513
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,200
again.
514
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,780
Next step, we're going to level this bad
boy.
515
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:32,720
Get her set and ready.
516
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:41,720
Woo -hoo! That was a ride I did not want
to take, brother. The damn thing tilted
517
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:45,320
up. Not only is the generator going into
the pond, but we're going with it.
518
00:36:46,340 --> 00:36:49,960
That just about scared the out of me. I
actually feel my heart going just a
519
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,960
little bit above normal.
520
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,040
$10 ,000 worth of equipment could have
been in that water. That could have
521
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,480
ruined us right there.
522
00:37:04,780 --> 00:37:07,500
Okay, let's anchor this thing and get
the hell out of here.
523
00:37:08,820 --> 00:37:09,880
How's it sketchy?
524
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,360
Woo!
525
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,580
It also looks smart. I hope it looks
too.
526
00:37:17,780 --> 00:37:23,540
Kyle fabricates safety rails for the
wasp flag alongside infantry scout
527
00:37:23,540 --> 00:37:25,480
Stuart McKenzie. Good.
528
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,880
Nothing's going up.
529
00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:32,160
After I was wounded, I medically
retired.
530
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,580
I became a firefighter.
531
00:37:34,060 --> 00:37:37,620
I've always kind of searched that out,
you know, camaraderie, brotherhood, you
532
00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:41,840
know, where your life is on the line and
somebody else is holding it.
533
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,380
It's something that will always stay
with me, kind of woven in the soul.
534
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,820
Looks like the guys have been pretty
busy.
535
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,860
I am. We've got to weld that up.
536
00:37:58,140 --> 00:37:59,900
And is that perfect or what?
537
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,860
How high is it?
538
00:38:02,220 --> 00:38:03,220
Hit point inches.
539
00:38:04,339 --> 00:38:05,339
Hip -tight inches.
540
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,660
That's how you guys measure that. Yeah,
because we are 36 inches.
541
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,500
36? Yeah.
542
00:38:10,660 --> 00:38:12,260
What made you 36 inches?
543
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,500
Fred just told us that it was like hip
-tight. You guys need to come to me.
544
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,680
You've got to be at 42.
545
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,120
42?
546
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,820
He said basically as long as it's like
you won't topple over.
547
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:25,600
Fred is just going to give you the
answer that's going to get you going.
548
00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:28,300
I mean, that's the answer we all want,
though. We're trying to finish this up
549
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:31,520
we can get back to gold mining. We're
here for gold. I want gold, too.
550
00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:35,640
But let me ask you, what happens to us
if MSCOT shows up tomorrow morning and
551
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,400
these are only 36 inches?
552
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,940
And then Fred's going to be like, well,
guys, sorry, I don't have $40 ,000.
553
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:43,020
We're done for the season. In fact,
we're done forever.
554
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:45,640
I think we have more work to do, man.
555
00:38:47,020 --> 00:38:47,638
We're good.
556
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,060
It sucks. I'm the bad guy. I don't want
to be the bad guy. I like to take crazy
557
00:38:51,060 --> 00:38:56,200
risks sometimes too, but we have too
much riding on this. We can't take any
558
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,200
risks at this point.
559
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,660
What's up, you goons? At Lower Duncan
Creek, it's a big day for Rick Knapp. I
560
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:15,380
think it's probably time we rename him.
561
00:39:15,780 --> 00:39:17,060
So you're going to name it after me?
562
00:39:17,340 --> 00:39:18,400
It never works again.
563
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,320
You.
564
00:39:24,220 --> 00:39:26,720
I think we just call it Rocky.
565
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,680
Yeah, I like that. I like that. That's
not so bad. I like that.
566
00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:32,160
Rocky was a pimp.
567
00:39:32,380 --> 00:39:33,900
Exactly. Kicked everyone's ass.
568
00:39:34,180 --> 00:39:35,180
Yeah.
569
00:39:35,310 --> 00:39:39,270
Beat up the Russian and didn't give up.
Let's rocky it out.
570
00:39:53,530 --> 00:39:59,450
Fred Lewis and his crew are finishing
the raft of safety measures they need to
571
00:39:59,450 --> 00:40:03,290
get his claim compliant so they can get
back to mining.
572
00:40:04,060 --> 00:40:05,060
Trying to get it up.
573
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:09,580
So we've got the grate up on the kernel.
574
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,700
You want to hand that up to me?
575
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,040
Really?
576
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:15,320
This is awesome, dude.
577
00:40:15,820 --> 00:40:19,060
We've got a weatherproof box. I think
we're all up and running.
578
00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:20,820
Can we go to Kara?
579
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,700
I want to see her, but I don't want to
see her.
580
00:40:23,780 --> 00:40:25,680
Kara, can you come up to the plant?
581
00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:31,480
Things are looking a little different
around here. I think we're ready.
582
00:40:31,820 --> 00:40:32,820
Well, show me.
583
00:40:32,860 --> 00:40:38,240
Mine manager Kara must sign off before
Fred can finally start sluicing for
584
00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:39,118
Hi fellas.
585
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,040
Looks like you guys have been busy. Busy
with everything but mining.
586
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:43,940
Okay.
587
00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:46,880
Let me see these rails.
588
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:50,360
These are perfect height.
589
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,780
Well, these are actually put in here
really nice.
590
00:40:55,580 --> 00:40:56,660
I'm very pleased.
591
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,460
Good job, babe.
592
00:41:01,390 --> 00:41:02,810
I have to say, this is pretty
impressive.
593
00:41:03,170 --> 00:41:05,970
I am shocked at the amount of progress
you guys were able to make.
594
00:41:09,850 --> 00:41:10,850
So can we do it?
595
00:41:14,910 --> 00:41:17,310
I'm going to give you the go -ahead. I'm
going to say yes. Go, guys.
596
00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:20,150
Go to the places.
597
00:41:20,870 --> 00:41:21,870
Idol time.
598
00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:23,930
This has been a really brutal week.
599
00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:28,750
I felt like I was the bad guy all week
long, but ultimately Fred followed the
600
00:41:28,750 --> 00:41:29,750
orders and...
601
00:41:30,090 --> 00:41:31,550
We really came together as a team.
602
00:41:34,070 --> 00:41:35,070
Almost ready!
603
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,860
I think it's a good thing that we
bounced off each other, because I'm a
604
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:13,180
more risky, you're a little more nerdy.
605
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:15,100
Kind of a good combo.
606
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,178
I'm not a nerd.
607
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,180
Yeah, you're kind of a nerd.
608
00:42:18,660 --> 00:42:22,020
You know, working as a team's tough,
especially when you don't know exactly
609
00:42:22,020 --> 00:42:25,600
you're doing, so there's a learning
curve. But we're finding our groove now,
610
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,880
I think with the plan up and running,
our next sites are on bedrock and the
611
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:29,880
mother load.
612
00:42:43,069 --> 00:42:47,470
In the conduct, Parker's crew arrived
for their weekly gold way.
613
00:42:47,790 --> 00:42:48,790
Howdy, Dumit.
614
00:42:48,930 --> 00:42:49,808
Hi, Shane.
615
00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:51,510
How are you? Good, good. Good.
616
00:42:51,950 --> 00:42:55,230
Thank you guys for getting that all
moved. I know it was a lot of work.
617
00:42:55,690 --> 00:43:00,110
Well, who would plan two plant moves in
the same day? Really, the sluice for
618
00:43:00,110 --> 00:43:01,110
moves went well.
619
00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:03,590
Can't speak for big red ones. I wasn't
down there.
620
00:43:03,930 --> 00:43:04,930
It went pretty good.
621
00:43:05,110 --> 00:43:07,390
Yeah? Yep. Dragging it up backwards
worked well.
622
00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:09,330
It went up there.
623
00:43:09,830 --> 00:43:10,830
You never know.
624
00:43:10,940 --> 00:43:13,860
It goes pretty good pretty quick when
you only have to set the plant once.
625
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,940
Yeah, it was a big competition trying to
beat you guys. We were a couple hours
626
00:43:19,940 --> 00:43:20,819
behind you.
627
00:43:20,820 --> 00:43:23,880
Are those plant spots, are they going to
be solid?
628
00:43:24,220 --> 00:43:25,720
Oh, yeah. Yeah? Yeah.
629
00:43:26,300 --> 00:43:27,860
Shane, you're happy with everything out
there?
630
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:29,640
It's been going pretty good.
631
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,200
Good. We're going to look at some gold?
Yeah.
632
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,040
All right, here you go. This is Lucifer.
633
00:43:36,340 --> 00:43:37,560
So far this season.
634
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,500
Lucifer has averaged 280 ounces a week.
635
00:43:41,900 --> 00:43:48,780
20, 40, 60, 100, 101
636
00:43:48,780 --> 00:43:49,860
.35.
637
00:43:51,300 --> 00:43:55,340
Worth $177 ,000.
638
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:57,460
Maybe it'll pick up.
639
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:59,620
100 ounces, 100 ounces, right?
640
00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:02,880
And this is big red here.
641
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,120
Even though you start out backwards,
Junior, here you go.
642
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:13,540
0 .1, 0 .2, 10, 20, 40, 60,
643
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,520
80, 89 .40.
644
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:23,920
Adding another $156 ,000 to the total.
But way off Big Red's season average
645
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,680
of 240 ounces.
646
00:44:27,260 --> 00:44:29,380
Not a lot of huge numbers.
647
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,040
It can always be more.
648
00:44:31,380 --> 00:44:33,780
It can always be more, right?
649
00:44:35,060 --> 00:44:36,740
It can also be a lot less.
650
00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:45,530
Okay, so for the week we wound up with
190 ounces and a season total of 2 ,494
651
00:44:45,530 --> 00:44:48,130
ounces. Yeah, it's not terrible.
652
00:44:48,490 --> 00:44:50,510
Well, let's hope next week's better than
that.
653
00:44:50,890 --> 00:44:51,890
We'll see.
654
00:44:51,950 --> 00:44:54,110
You know, there's a long way to go.
655
00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:57,390
Well, should we get back out of there,
boys? All right. Good job, Junior.
656
00:44:57,390 --> 00:44:58,510
Thanks, Pop.
657
00:44:59,090 --> 00:45:03,190
I'll drink it up right next time.
Thanks, Junior. You bet. You guys are
658
00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:04,190
crazy.
659
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:17,240
At Paradise Hill, the Beats family meet
to find out if Tony's pressure hunt in
660
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:19,780
the old primer's tailing has paid off.
661
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,220
It would be kind of nice to see where
that TV plant is going to weigh all
662
00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:27,920
I mean, if it does as good as the pan,
that would be kind of nice.
663
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:33,460
But first, the gold from running mega
-cut pay dirt through Mike's promo.
664
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:35,080
So, how was your week there, Mike?
665
00:45:35,380 --> 00:45:37,040
Oh, nothing bad. Moved quite a bit of
dirt.
666
00:45:37,260 --> 00:45:38,260
Yeah. Yeah.
667
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,440
Anyway, cleaned up, done.
668
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:47,880
To hit his 3 ,000 -ounce season goal,
Tony needs 177 ounces
669
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,880
a week.
670
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:56,340
Worth
671
00:45:56,340 --> 00:46:03,120
$287
672
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,120
,000.
673
00:46:14,250 --> 00:46:20,270
Next up, time to find out if Tony was
right to run the old -timer tailings.
674
00:46:21,330 --> 00:46:27,870
With the breakdown,
675
00:46:28,190 --> 00:46:30,170
they only ran for four hours.
676
00:46:30,430 --> 00:46:35,910
Normally, Tony looks for an ounce per
hundred yards. With these tailings, Tony
677
00:46:35,910 --> 00:46:36,910
can make a profit.
678
00:46:37,210 --> 00:46:41,610
With half of that. If we can get one or
two ounces out of that 400 yards, I'd be
679
00:46:41,610 --> 00:46:42,610
pretty happy.
680
00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:44,870
Got it. Let's weigh it.
681
00:46:48,090 --> 00:46:49,290
0 .4.
682
00:46:50,270 --> 00:46:51,850
0 .7.
683
00:46:52,210 --> 00:46:53,470
1 .6.
684
00:46:53,930 --> 00:46:56,230
2. 2 .5.
685
00:46:57,550 --> 00:46:58,810
4 .22.
686
00:47:00,630 --> 00:47:02,870
For $7 ,400.
687
00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:06,830
Tony's hunch about the old -timer's
tailings.
688
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,160
has paid off.
689
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,500
That means that's an ounce for every 100
yards.
690
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:13,580
That's very accessible.
691
00:47:14,060 --> 00:47:15,060
That is very accessible.
692
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:16,840
Awesome, Wyatt. That was amazing.
693
00:47:17,220 --> 00:47:21,620
The material that we ran of the
tailings, they're doing better than what
694
00:47:21,620 --> 00:47:22,620
doing on the hill.
695
00:47:22,660 --> 00:47:24,480
Let's get out there and do some more.
696
00:47:24,820 --> 00:47:27,240
You guys don't have to worry. There you
go.
697
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,740
Next time, Rick Ness.
698
00:47:36,060 --> 00:47:37,120
Follows his instinct.
699
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,180
If there's a pile of gold in there, that
wipes out my late start.
700
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,400
But it could cost him his career. That's
what I call dumb.
701
00:47:45,660 --> 00:47:46,780
Veteran Fred Lewis.
702
00:47:47,020 --> 00:47:48,140
We're running, Ted!
703
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,500
Gets back on the gold.
704
00:47:50,900 --> 00:47:53,000
It's been a while, but this is it!
705
00:47:54,700 --> 00:47:56,120
And Tony B.
706
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:02,620
Moves heaven and earth. Stop, stop,
stop! Watch out! To set up a vital new
707
00:48:02,620 --> 00:48:03,620
plan.
