1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,520
On Big Gold Run.
2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:05,700
Oi!
3
00:00:05,980 --> 00:00:06,879
Let's go.
4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Tony Beats moves heaven.
5
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,220
Hope that's getting on there.
6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,720
And earth.
7
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,080
Stop, stop, stop.
8
00:00:14,460 --> 00:00:16,560
To cash in on lost gold.
9
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,040
You have no idea how good I am.
10
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,580
Rick Ness follows a hunch.
11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,920
If there's a pile of gold in there, that
right there wipes out my late start.
12
00:00:28,180 --> 00:00:29,620
That will lead to ruin.
13
00:00:30,090 --> 00:00:35,270
redemption and Fred Lewis
14
00:00:35,270 --> 00:00:41,370
with his crew of veterans have their
eyes on the prize
15
00:01:06,510 --> 00:01:11,250
Racing to catch up from his latest ever
18 -acre Megaco.
16
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:19,830
He's chasing a 3 ,000 -ounce season
goal.
17
00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:28,610
But almost halfway through the short
season,
18
00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:31,890
Tony has less than a quarter of his
target.
19
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:38,190
Now he's determined to mine every piece
of gold -rich ground he can find.
20
00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:47,550
Last week, he
21
00:01:47,550 --> 00:01:51,310
tested tailings left by the old timers
at the bottom of the hill.
22
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:58,870
He ran them through his kiwi plant and
23
00:01:58,870 --> 00:02:01,570
got four ounces from just 400 yards.
24
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:05,440
That means that's an ounce for every 100
yards.
25
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,520
That's not right. That's very difficult.
26
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,740
If you can get an ounce for every 100
yards, that's almost better than the
27
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:16,940
grounds we're digging up up on top of
the hill right now.
28
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,360
Cut!
29
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,740
I was just going to get you all ready to
stand there and look pretty, but that's
30
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:31,640
not going to work, is it? Have you met
me?
31
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,080
Fantastic.
32
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:34,180
Brilliant.
33
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:51,700
Tony's bringing his 30 -year -old screen
deck wash plant out of retirement.
34
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,060
The plant can run 200 yards an hour.
35
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,120
twice as much as the one he used for the
test, and could earn him more than $80
36
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,900
,000 a day.
37
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,240
But it's currently sitting on the top of
Paradise Hill.
38
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,500
Tony must transport the 50 -ton cargo
down a steep mine road,
39
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:29,160
navigating a series of narrow sections
and tight corners.
40
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,300
to a custom -built pad beside the old
-timers' tailings at the foot of the
41
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,160
But the five -foot steel hopper above
the green deck makes the plant top
42
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,580
Usually we take the hopper off, make it
way more stable.
43
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:57,260
Tony decides to leave the hopper in
place to speed up the move.
44
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:04,280
Son Mike brings in the Oscars.
45
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:10,660
A 500 horsepower, turbocharged, V8
military tank transporter.
46
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,500
Keep it coming this way, keep it coming
this way.
47
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,800
My way, my way.
48
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Right there, that's good.
49
00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:45,850
Mike must now haul the top -heavy wash
plant down the steep road to the
50
00:04:45,850 --> 00:04:46,850
tailings.
51
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,040
I think it just moves way too much.
52
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,580
It's frustrating.
53
00:05:35,660 --> 00:05:38,260
I think we're going to take that hopper
off, Mike.
54
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Okay? So get over there, sir, and talk
to you.
55
00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:42,660
Okay.
56
00:05:43,780 --> 00:05:46,780
We are going to go take that hopper off.
That's all, sir.
57
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,320
You're going to get what it takes all
day.
58
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Kevin has to remove the bolts.
59
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:57,890
securing the hopper to the frame.
60
00:06:35,670 --> 00:06:41,110
Until they can cut the hopper off, the
wash plant move is at a standstill.
61
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,580
We've all been hitting it with
everything we got.
62
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Rick Ness started mining a full two
weeks behind Parker and Tony, and he is
63
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,580
in the race of his life to get to his 1
,000 -ounce gold.
64
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,320
We finally got our hopper feeder in, and
I paid off Troy's royalties for the
65
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,380
year. That feels really good.
66
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,900
With all the gold that went up, it's
just going to be really important to
67
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:31,200
putting some back in the sink.
68
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,540
After barely breaking even last season,
Rick needs a big year or his mining
69
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:38,540
career is over.
70
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:50,240
Well, if we were in a competition to
move the most dirt with no gold in it,
71
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,240
would have won much.
72
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:54,800
We killed that game, bud.
73
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,200
For the last four weeks, Rick has mined
the teapot.
74
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,440
where the gold -rich pay dirt is near
the surface.
75
00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:11,600
But now new recruit Mark Doverspike is
running out of cheap cut pay to feed
76
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,600
plant Rocky.
77
00:08:14,580 --> 00:08:18,000
Yeah, we've got about a day's worth of
cheap cut pay left, so we're going to
78
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,100
change things up, move around.
79
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:24,100
So Rick heads out to look for a new area
to mine.
80
00:08:31,340 --> 00:08:33,039
This is where we've mined the cheap cut
up to.
81
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,299
You know, this ground has been paying
really well, and it's kind of given me a
82
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:39,860
renewed interest to investigate and
search.
83
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:43,600
I'd like to think after eight years I'm
starting to be able to read the ground.
84
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,500
I just get a feeling there's more gold
here.
85
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:53,180
The way this material is piled up in
here, I think the best stuff that there
86
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:54,260
could be at this corner.
87
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,740
On Lower Duncan Creek, 20 ,000 years
ago,
88
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:04,850
A glacier pushed up a mound of rock and
dirt known as the moraine on the edge of
89
00:09:04,850 --> 00:09:05,850
the cheap cut.
90
00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:12,230
Rick believes this moraine has trapped
gold washed down from the motherland.
91
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:18,350
If the glacier made some kind of a hard
stop here, all that gold would have
92
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:19,350
stopped in this corner.
93
00:09:19,930 --> 00:09:21,910
It could be the best stuff we've seen
all year.
94
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:26,950
And with gold price the way it is, the
profit margins are big.
95
00:09:27,550 --> 00:09:28,610
Let's see what we got.
96
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:46,210
I need to see at least 15 to 20 colors
in this pan to make it worth extending
97
00:09:46,210 --> 00:09:47,210
this cut.
98
00:09:50,110 --> 00:09:51,450
Yeah, there's gold in here.
99
00:09:54,330 --> 00:09:55,330
Whoa, guys.
100
00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:57,790
There's a whole bunch of fine gold mixed
in down there.
101
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:00,850
I like that.
102
00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:07,590
If there's a pile of gold in there, that
right there wipes out my late start,
103
00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:09,290
you know, due to the whole COVID thing.
104
00:10:12,970 --> 00:10:15,290
Hey, can you guys all meet me at the
wash plant, please?
105
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:25,010
Oh, hey, guys.
106
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:33,090
I've got a bit of a hunt on the cheap
cut here, and there's more ground to be
107
00:10:33,090 --> 00:10:34,530
had. It's right in the corner.
108
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:39,310
There's not much overburden there. Like,
we can get in there and strip, you
109
00:10:39,310 --> 00:10:40,850
know, a week's worth of pay in, like,
one day.
110
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:45,110
You're the boss.
111
00:10:47,730 --> 00:10:49,090
Hope your hunch is right.
112
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:56,010
Let's get the trucks fired up, get
everything fired up here and go get it.
113
00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:57,370
Let's do this.
114
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:02,190
Rick gets the crew stripping the
extension cut.
115
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:07,090
Gambling they'll get the pay dirt before
the existing stockpile runs out.
116
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,220
It's no secret Rick spent a lot of time
and money chasing after big nugget slabs
117
00:11:14,220 --> 00:11:15,520
here on a hunt.
118
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:19,240
I hope this isn't his last year all over
again. I don't need that.
119
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:25,480
I've got a really good feeling about the
two -cut extension.
120
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,780
I know I made some mistakes last year,
and I know the guys are skeptical, but
121
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:33,040
this year is different. I know things
are going to pay off.
122
00:11:54,650 --> 00:12:00,230
Already battling the late start to the
season, Rick could just have lost a
123
00:12:00,230 --> 00:12:01,230
truck as well.
124
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:11,590
Carl and the crew improvised to right
the truck using an
125
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:12,890
excavator and webbing.
126
00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:32,350
You got it!
127
00:12:34,410 --> 00:12:35,410
Sweet.
128
00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:48,620
With the truck up and running the team
gets back to digging down to pay dirt in
129
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:49,620
the new cut.
130
00:12:50,420 --> 00:12:51,440
Nice job, guys.
131
00:12:58,180 --> 00:13:02,780
Three hours later, the extension is
stripped and ready to run.
132
00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:05,420
Hell yeah.
133
00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:07,500
We're already down to pay it. I like
that.
134
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:34,800
Feeling pretty good right now.
135
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,520
We're right where we need to be.
136
00:13:38,260 --> 00:13:44,740
Rookie miner Fred Lewis has gambled his
last $20 ,000 leasing a 36
137
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:48,060
-acre claim in Oregon's Elkhorn
Mountains.
138
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:53,320
You know, last week was kind of tough.
We had to deal with a lot of MSHA
139
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,680
compliances and CARA compliances, but we
stepped it up,
140
00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:01,900
got everything done.
141
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,900
We just got to put in the work and get
on the gold.
142
00:14:09,220 --> 00:14:13,900
So far, the team has only run their
operation for a total of eight hours.
143
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,960
Now Fred and his crew of veteran buddies
are racing to cash in on record high
144
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,960
gold prices.
145
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,980
Former Special Forces Master Sergeant
Stefan Generaly digs pay dirt in the
146
00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:09,460
cut with the 400 excavator.
147
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,780
My wife, she's never owned a house
before.
148
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,640
Come out here, mine for gold, make for
money, make one of my wife's dreams come
149
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,640
true.
150
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:26,500
Sergeant Kyle Pletsky then hauls the pay
dirt to the plant in a 988 loader.
151
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Pretty much dead broke, so this has to
be a success or I'm going to end up
152
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,000
living out of my truck for real.
153
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:40,180
And Sergeant Stuart McKenzie feeds the
pay dirt into the plant with the 225.
154
00:15:41,860 --> 00:15:46,000
If this pays off, allow me to give my
wife and child the life that they
155
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,940
I'm not sure this is gold mining. It's
been a while, but this is it.
156
00:15:59,220 --> 00:16:00,300
We're doing it.
157
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,080
We got a new record we're running, baby.
158
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,660
We spent all this time getting this
thing going, and now we can take the
159
00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,130
I don't know, man. It just died. I
didn't do anything.
160
00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:40,150
Hey, shut down the plant and shut down
the water.
161
00:16:46,830 --> 00:16:47,990
What is going on?
162
00:16:48,690 --> 00:16:50,470
We got to get this crap straightened
out.
163
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:52,190
Because this is ridiculous.
164
00:16:55,730 --> 00:17:00,590
Dude, this looks like... I'm looking at
all this oil down in here.
165
00:17:01,130 --> 00:17:02,690
Yeah. Exposed wires.
166
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:06,410
Dude, something's arcing out. Something
is causing that.
167
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:12,589
This thing is a fire hazard.
168
00:17:13,670 --> 00:17:15,089
It's completely dead.
169
00:17:16,450 --> 00:17:21,690
The deal Fred struck with the claim
owner included all the site's equipment.
170
00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:26,270
But so far, he's just run into problem
after problem.
171
00:17:27,069 --> 00:17:29,670
This place is haunted, Fred.
172
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:36,160
We are so close to the edge.
173
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,440
We have to have other options. We have
to rent some equipment. We have to lease
174
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,440
some equipment, something.
175
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,840
I don't have the budget.
176
00:17:45,060 --> 00:17:50,380
We're going to have to run that 400
nonstop from the swamp, march it back
177
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,460
and feed the colonel.
178
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:53,300
That's all we can do.
179
00:17:54,260 --> 00:18:00,220
Fred's plan is to use the working
excavator, the 400, to dig pay dirt at
180
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:04,120
swamp cut, which he'll stockpile at the
wash plant.
181
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,640
using the 988 loader.
182
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,480
He'll then walk the 400 from the cut so
it can feed the pay to the plant.
183
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,200
But walking the 30 -year -old excavator
from the cut to the plant comes with a
184
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,200
big risk.
185
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Look, it's your call.
186
00:18:25,580 --> 00:18:28,000
But if that goes down, our season is
done.
187
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:29,780
I know, dude. I'm sorry.
188
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:31,340
It's a temporary fix.
189
00:18:39,330 --> 00:18:43,430
Down in the cut, Stefan is still digging
pay dirt with the 400.
190
00:18:45,070 --> 00:18:49,650
Hey, Stefan, 325 is deadline. We're
going to have to have the 400 full
191
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:53,830
duty. So once you're done with that
bucket, can you march it up to the ramp?
192
00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:55,730
Stuart's going to have to beat the
colonel with it.
193
00:18:56,550 --> 00:18:57,630
All right, you got it.
194
00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:07,230
He wants us to run these into the
ground, you know what I'm saying?
195
00:19:19,210 --> 00:19:20,470
All right, brother. He's all yours.
196
00:19:21,150 --> 00:19:22,150
No pressure, right?
197
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:23,250
No pressure whatsoever.
198
00:19:23,690 --> 00:19:25,370
Okay. Get that gold, baby. All right.
199
00:19:25,590 --> 00:19:26,590
All right.
200
00:19:31,610 --> 00:19:32,810
Let's fire it up, Misfit.
201
00:19:56,439 --> 00:20:00,660
Colonel Nugget can only run until the
pay pile runs out.
202
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:06,720
After
203
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:15,360
only
204
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:18,460
two hours, the 50 -yard pay pile is
bleached.
205
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:25,390
Colonel Nugget is shut down, while
Stefan walks the 400 back to the cut to
206
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:26,390
more.
207
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,350
Am I stuck on a rock on this one or
something?
208
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,580
It's clean as hell.
209
00:20:51,060 --> 00:20:55,280
Trucking forward. The left side stopped.
The right side kept going.
210
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:58,840
Oh.
211
00:21:01,580 --> 00:21:02,580
Does it move?
212
00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:06,460
It can move, but it's not going to be
happy about it.
213
00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:10,320
Fred, this thing is going to break down.
214
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:16,380
We can't have it running double duty up
top and down below. This thing has to
215
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:18,500
stay down here and dig dirt for us.
216
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,080
With the 400 stranded at the cut, Fred's
operation is shut down.
217
00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:31,820
Dude, I beg you.
218
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,900
There's too many things to fix right
here.
219
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:35,380
We need some help.
220
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:37,260
You're right.
221
00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:39,360
Fred needs a mechanic.
222
00:21:40,260 --> 00:21:42,880
Luckily, he knows the best in the
business.
223
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:44,460
Juan Ibarra.
224
00:21:47,780 --> 00:21:50,740
Hello? Juan, how's it going? It's Fred.
225
00:21:51,370 --> 00:21:54,550
Hey, what's going on, man? I hate to
call you on bad news, but our equipment
226
00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:55,830
breaking down constantly.
227
00:21:56,190 --> 00:21:58,450
I wanted to see if you were maybe
anywhere near.
228
00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:01,510
I'd love to help you out, but I'm a
little busy right now.
229
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:05,050
I have a couple pieces of equipment
available.
230
00:22:06,610 --> 00:22:08,510
Really? What kind are you looking for?
231
00:22:09,690 --> 00:22:12,810
So the 225, the smaller excavator, it
went down.
232
00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:16,430
I'm also looking at that loader. It's
got a lot of issues itself.
233
00:22:17,410 --> 00:22:18,630
We can help you guys out here.
234
00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:20,550
Awesome. I really appreciate it, Juan.
235
00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:23,030
But I got a lot of money invested in
this equipment.
236
00:22:23,350 --> 00:22:28,250
So I'd like to spend my own rigors with
it to kind of help you guys out and kind
237
00:22:28,250 --> 00:22:29,250
of look after my equipment.
238
00:22:29,570 --> 00:22:30,830
Okay. I understand.
239
00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:39,350
Everybody else?
240
00:22:48,940 --> 00:22:54,220
The Beats family is in the middle of
moving a huge green deck wash plant down
241
00:22:54,220 --> 00:22:55,280
Tony's new site.
242
00:22:55,580 --> 00:22:57,460
The old time is tailing.
243
00:22:57,860 --> 00:23:01,560
Cody's gone up and crowded the material,
holding that hopper in.
244
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,720
So, we can haul it down and we'll get it
in position.
245
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,560
That's the battle plan.
246
00:23:07,940 --> 00:23:08,940
Subject to change.
247
00:23:09,500 --> 00:23:10,960
At a moment's notice.
248
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:18,000
The hopper feeder made the plant too
unstable to transport.
249
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,880
And after a day spent cutting it loose,
250
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:30,120
Tony is now ready to
251
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,940
lift it from the screen deck frame.
252
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,240
That wasn't so hard.
253
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,920
Perfect. Say it, Lynn. Lift it up, Lynn.
Lift it up.
254
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:56,500
Keep it going.
255
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Say it, Lynn. Swing it over.
256
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,960
Glenn, lower down, lower down, lower
down.
257
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Perfect.
258
00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:22,600
Tie it into the main frame.
259
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,700
Wash planks secured.
260
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:29,340
Mike starts the journey down the steep
dirt road.
261
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,200
Let's get going.
262
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,620
If any of the eyes on the film crew can
hear me, I would avoid being in front of
263
00:24:39,620 --> 00:24:40,740
this truck on the hill.
264
00:24:41,470 --> 00:24:42,830
It'd be highly hazardous.
265
00:24:48,090 --> 00:24:49,650
Oh, come on. Turn, you.
266
00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:54,150
Mike, slow down and pass the bridge.
267
00:24:57,230 --> 00:24:58,630
Easy, Mike. Easy, Mike.
268
00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:05,050
Since it's an automatic, you have to use
the brakes all the time.
269
00:25:07,610 --> 00:25:08,610
Oh, you.
270
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:11,830
Automatic.
271
00:25:13,530 --> 00:25:14,650
It ain't automatic.
272
00:25:25,270 --> 00:25:30,330
Two days after they started at the top
of Paradise Hill, they finally got the
273
00:25:30,330 --> 00:25:32,950
screen deck down to the old -timers'
tailings.
274
00:25:37,130 --> 00:25:38,150
That'll be good, Mike.
275
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,880
Now all that's left is to unload the 50
-ton beast.
276
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,040
And for that, Tony has an old trick up
his sleeve.
277
00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:54,640
We'll dig a hole behind it with the hoe,
back it back in, hook the cat to it,
278
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,100
off with it. What do you think?
279
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,640
Let's go.
280
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Tony plans to excavate a pit with a
slope at one end and reverse the Oscars
281
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,520
it.
282
00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:13,490
Then drag the wash plant directly onto
the patch where it will sluice the
283
00:26:13,490 --> 00:26:14,490
tailings.
284
00:26:19,570 --> 00:26:21,150
Okay, back it over there.
285
00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:24,510
Good.
286
00:26:28,970 --> 00:26:30,050
Glenn, back it up.
287
00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:36,450
Right there, done.
288
00:26:40,889 --> 00:26:42,470
Good. All right, gentlemen.
289
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:44,610
All by yourselves.
290
00:27:22,030 --> 00:27:23,110
Of course, who the **** did it?
291
00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:26,570
It's all under supervision, young fella.
292
00:27:29,330 --> 00:27:30,950
The plunge is in place.
293
00:27:31,690 --> 00:27:36,210
But before the beast can cash in on the
old -timers' tailings, there's still
294
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:37,210
work to do.
295
00:27:38,150 --> 00:27:42,690
We gotta lay a pipeline in that, you
gotta lift the screen deck on that, so
296
00:27:42,690 --> 00:27:43,950
got a lot of work to do.
297
00:27:54,670 --> 00:27:55,990
Gotta have gold coming in all season.
298
00:27:57,030 --> 00:28:02,390
Rick Ness is chasing a hunt and mining
pay dirt from an extension of the cheap
299
00:28:02,390 --> 00:28:03,390
cut.
300
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:06,870
I really need this extension on the
cheap cut to pay off.
301
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:13,470
I had a bad season last year, so I got a
lot of ground to make up this year.
302
00:28:15,590 --> 00:28:20,950
If his hunch turns out to be wrong, Rick
will be even further behind after the
303
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:21,950
late start.
304
00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:29,550
Loader operator Mark had the growing
stockpile of extension pay dirt to feed
305
00:28:29,550 --> 00:28:30,570
into the wash plant.
306
00:28:31,670 --> 00:28:36,030
Hey Carl, we've got a problem.
307
00:28:36,530 --> 00:28:39,190
You've got to get down here. We're
losing water pressure.
308
00:28:55,370 --> 00:28:57,590
So by the end of the week, we're going
to be behind a week, right?
309
00:28:58,530 --> 00:28:59,530
Crazy.
310
00:29:03,070 --> 00:29:04,090
What's going on, boys?
311
00:29:04,750 --> 00:29:05,750
What's the problem?
312
00:29:07,150 --> 00:29:08,430
Our water pressure decreased.
313
00:29:12,570 --> 00:29:14,730
So you see this leak in here? Yeah.
314
00:29:15,870 --> 00:29:16,870
That's not good.
315
00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:19,150
That's our deal going, right?
316
00:29:22,670 --> 00:29:23,670
Let's talk.
317
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,740
Sucks big time.
318
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,100
Without a working water pump, Rick's
operation is shut down.
319
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,400
Too much downtime.
320
00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:33,880
We're going to switch the pump out.
321
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:38,260
We need to speed up.
322
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:42,780
Let's go.
323
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:48,280
With no time to fix the problem, Carl
brings in the backup pump.
324
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Nice and easy, right? Yeah.
325
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,020
We don't want to lose it.
326
00:29:59,340 --> 00:30:00,440
Okay, let it out.
327
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,920
That's more like it.
328
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:11,260
Get ready.
329
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Let's fire it up.
330
00:30:40,650 --> 00:30:42,090
Is there a pink fuel line or something
here?
331
00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:44,630
That's the fuel line. It's not pink
there.
332
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:49,970
Carl needs to find out why there's no
fuel going to the injector.
333
00:30:50,610 --> 00:30:52,710
There'll be a tube that goes down in the
tank, right?
334
00:30:53,090 --> 00:30:55,070
So I think the tube's falling off.
335
00:30:56,710 --> 00:31:02,530
Here's what you do. You don't like doing
this, but... I'm stuck on a hose here.
336
00:31:03,410 --> 00:31:04,650
Get your face right.
337
00:31:05,250 --> 00:31:10,250
If Carl's wrong and the tube's still
connected...
338
00:31:10,540 --> 00:31:12,120
He'll get a mouthful of fuel.
339
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,180
It's pulled right off. There's nothing
there.
340
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,100
Tube's falling off, so now it can't pick
up fuel.
341
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,460
The pump won't fire because the uptake
hose has fallen into the fuel tank.
342
00:31:27,140 --> 00:31:28,220
No room, eh?
343
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:30,780
This is tough to get in there, eh? Yeah.
344
00:31:33,940 --> 00:31:34,940
Oh, yeah.
345
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,100
Cooking with ether now.
346
00:31:57,450 --> 00:31:59,530
The next crew is fucking business.
347
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,210
Is that it?
348
00:32:20,950 --> 00:32:24,810
Yep. Yeah, it's pumped up and running,
so we're pumping water.
349
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:27,840
Yeah, nice job, Carl.
350
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,760
Thank God for that.
351
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:32,320
Rick's back on the gold.
352
00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:37,640
And thanks to Carl, he'll soon discover
if his hunch about the extension cut
353
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,780
will pay off.
354
00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:44,040
Yeah, I mean, the good news is the
plant's running again.
355
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:47,480
And hopefully by the end of the week,
there's gold in the box.
356
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,120
Because if there's not, it's going to
start feeling an awful lot like last
357
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,120
all over again.
358
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,880
In Oregon, Fred Lewis is facing yet
another day of downtime.
359
00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:16,340
Really difficult trying to get
proficient at a new job when there's no
360
00:33:16,340 --> 00:33:17,340
actually do.
361
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Been doing more hanging around waiting
than we have actually doing mining.
362
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:28,080
That breaks, then we fix that, that
breaks, we fix that, then that'll break
363
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,080
again.
364
00:33:29,380 --> 00:33:31,720
Morale is at an all -time low right now.
365
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,340
We're all kind of bummed out.
366
00:33:34,670 --> 00:33:39,950
The absolute worst thing about being
here is that we're not mining gold right
367
00:33:39,950 --> 00:33:43,490
now because all of us have sacrificed a
lot.
368
00:33:44,550 --> 00:33:47,410
And we'll stick it out for one another
no matter what.
369
00:33:48,770 --> 00:33:50,750
But I know Fred is going to come through
for us.
370
00:33:53,370 --> 00:33:55,870
Last couple of days have been really
tough. We've had a lot of equipment
371
00:33:55,870 --> 00:33:59,590
problems and a lot of downtime. That's
been really tough on the guys. So I've
372
00:33:59,590 --> 00:34:02,770
been in contact with Juan, and that
equipment is on its way now.
373
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,100
That's what I'm talking about.
374
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:16,400
Fred has leased an excavator and a
loader from Juan Ibarra and agreed to
375
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,480
only when he gets enough gold.
376
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,260
I don't like offering up future gold,
but hey, if you're not going to be
377
00:34:24,260 --> 00:34:26,199
to take a risk, it shouldn't be mine of
gold.
378
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:35,440
Juan has sent specialist operator Alex
Voigt to make sure it comes back in one
379
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:36,440
piece.
380
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,320
You must be Alex.
381
00:34:39,699 --> 00:34:41,820
Good to meet you finally. Good to meet
you finally.
382
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,600
This is what we need.
383
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,679
We're here. We brought equipment.
384
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:47,900
I am stoked. Well, welcome.
385
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:49,280
Well, thank you.
386
00:34:51,179 --> 00:34:53,120
Let's get these bad boys off and get out
of here.
387
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:00,160
We had to make the call and up the ante
and get better equipment.
388
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,360
One game through.
389
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,580
Now it's go time.
390
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,060
This Volo excavator is probably one of
the nicest machines I've ran.
391
00:35:12,860 --> 00:35:15,180
She's only got about 1 ,200 hours on
her.
392
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,400
Very nice, very smooth.
393
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:21,120
Guy on it's kind of cool, too.
394
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,920
I want to get moving. I want to get this
to the guys. They're going to be so
395
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,140
excited. They need it.
396
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,520
Let's go meet the guys.
397
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Is that Greg?
398
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,060
Is that our machine?
399
00:35:58,060 --> 00:36:00,380
Why isn't this stuff covered in oil?
400
00:36:06,060 --> 00:36:08,040
Hey everybody, this is Alan.
401
00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:10,000
He's our new teammate.
402
00:36:10,730 --> 00:36:13,910
Look at that. He's on our road right off
the bat.
403
00:36:14,110 --> 00:36:14,988
How you doing, Alex?
404
00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:19,410
I heard you guys needed some equipment,
so this is it, guys?
405
00:36:21,830 --> 00:36:24,490
Yeah, so these are basically on lease
from Juan.
406
00:36:25,870 --> 00:36:31,110
Alex comes with the equipment, but he's
our new teammate. He's here to train us
407
00:36:31,110 --> 00:36:34,250
and to make sure we use the equipment
properly and to make sure the equipment
408
00:36:34,250 --> 00:36:36,690
goes back in the same shape that it was
when we got it.
409
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,000
You're good to go.
410
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,060
Looking good right now.
411
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,700
With a fully working fleet of machines.
412
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:59,100
The colonel's getting gold.
413
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,840
The mine is back in action.
414
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,620
It's about time we got everything up and
rolling.
415
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,940
It's where we want to be right here. If
we can just keep this going for the rest
416
00:37:11,940 --> 00:37:12,940
of the season.
417
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:15,440
I'm in it.
418
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,940
The Beat family gathers for the weekly
Goldway.
419
00:37:34,540 --> 00:37:36,120
Well, I'm glad to see it all here.
420
00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:39,320
I mean, it's not like we had much
choice, really.
421
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:40,680
I guess.
422
00:37:42,220 --> 00:37:43,500
Anyway, that's Greenbeck.
423
00:37:43,950 --> 00:37:45,790
Takes a bit of time, but so be it.
424
00:37:46,210 --> 00:37:48,450
We got a lot to fix on it, Gavin.
425
00:37:48,830 --> 00:37:50,830
Yeah, we'll get it out. Not too worried.
426
00:37:51,090 --> 00:37:52,470
It's a good thing we got the thrombomes
on.
427
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:54,410
I mean, that lease keeps turning,
turning.
428
00:37:54,930 --> 00:37:56,790
Keeps things alive around here anyway.
429
00:37:58,870 --> 00:38:01,330
Anyways, we should maybe see how much we
got.
430
00:38:03,410 --> 00:38:08,230
Until they can get this green deck
assembled and running, the Beats are
431
00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:09,530
on just one plant.
432
00:38:10,250 --> 00:38:12,310
Mike Trommel at the MegaCut.
433
00:38:13,430 --> 00:38:16,250
Trusty trommel pumped out about a jar,
so.
434
00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:17,470
Oh, that's okay. All right.
435
00:38:19,170 --> 00:38:20,870
Oh, God. You got a page?
436
00:38:21,170 --> 00:38:22,170
Yeah.
437
00:38:24,150 --> 00:38:25,790
Okay. Is Mike going to pour?
438
00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:27,550
Mike's pouring. Okay.
439
00:38:28,050 --> 00:38:29,130
Page is going to count.
440
00:38:30,810 --> 00:38:32,390
Ready? Yeah. Ready.
441
00:38:32,590 --> 00:38:38,710
Pour in the... 5, 10, 15, 20.
442
00:38:39,130 --> 00:38:41,610
To hit that 3 ,000 -ounce target.
443
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,760
They need an average of 177 ounces a
week.
444
00:38:45,980 --> 00:38:49,420
But after 11 weeks, they have yet to hit
it.
445
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,200
160, 170, 178,
446
00:38:54,540 --> 00:38:58,520
178 .6.
447
00:38:59,220 --> 00:39:00,220
Good job.
448
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:09,940
Mike Trommel is keeping the family
afloat with a gold haul worth $312 ,000.
449
00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:13,050
On 786, that's good.
450
00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:15,510
How much do we have now?
451
00:39:16,450 --> 00:39:17,650
732 .6.
452
00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:22,410
We still have quite a bit of time left,
right? And with the gold price being so
453
00:39:22,410 --> 00:39:25,430
high, that is a tremendous help. Makes a
whole difference.
454
00:39:28,690 --> 00:39:33,950
Even with the big haul, the Beats are
still more than 2 ,000 ounces off their
455
00:39:33,950 --> 00:39:34,950
season goal.
456
00:39:36,470 --> 00:39:39,650
Anyway, we'll see what's out of the old
-timer tailings.
457
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,920
I mean, now is the time to do it. The
price of gold is up there.
458
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,280
You know, we've got to pick from
different places in order to make it
459
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,280
year.
460
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,180
Well, the more spots we have, the better
off we are.
461
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,120
It's the end of a tough week on the
Lewis claim.
462
00:40:14,670 --> 00:40:18,150
You know, I really feel like getting
this new equipment in, and Alex
463
00:40:18,150 --> 00:40:22,010
with his experience and ability to help
teach us a little better.
464
00:40:22,530 --> 00:40:24,710
I think we're getting a boost right now.
465
00:40:25,050 --> 00:40:26,050
Hell yeah.
466
00:40:27,490 --> 00:40:28,930
How are you liking that new machine?
467
00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:30,290
Oh, no, it's awesome.
468
00:40:30,630 --> 00:40:32,190
AC, heater, radio.
469
00:40:33,690 --> 00:40:34,830
I'm excited for it.
470
00:40:36,130 --> 00:40:39,410
You know, I haven't had much time in
that new loader yet, but the one thing
471
00:40:39,410 --> 00:40:43,870
I really like so far is that I can
actually maneuver around the mine site.
472
00:40:44,569 --> 00:40:48,110
Other one, dude, it's like I feel like
I'm off in powers, you know, up against
473
00:40:48,110 --> 00:40:49,870
the wall trying to go, trying to go.
474
00:40:50,710 --> 00:40:52,090
There's just nothing that's happening.
475
00:40:55,850 --> 00:40:57,350
It's going to be a game changer for him.
476
00:41:00,570 --> 00:41:01,570
What's up, guys?
477
00:41:02,090 --> 00:41:03,730
Yo. What's up? Hi, Kendall.
478
00:41:03,970 --> 00:41:06,730
Just want to share a little news.
479
00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:11,850
Katie and I are going to have our first
kid. I'm going to be a new dad.
480
00:41:12,410 --> 00:41:13,410
What?
481
00:41:14,060 --> 00:41:14,979
Oh, my God.
482
00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:15,980
It's amazing.
483
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:18,860
Lifetime death sentence.
484
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,040
Let me see.
485
00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:26,820
The little nugget. Let me see it.
486
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:29,060
It's bigger than any nugget we found.
487
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,380
Everything's looking good. We got all
the checks looking.
488
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,560
Your first kid? First kid. Wow.
489
00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:40,830
Congratulations, man. Katie's going to
have two.
490
00:41:41,230 --> 00:41:42,230
Exactly.
491
00:41:43,810 --> 00:41:47,490
Kendall, man, it's so much fun. Yeah,
it's awesome.
492
00:41:47,790 --> 00:41:48,790
I'm excited.
493
00:41:59,210 --> 00:42:04,970
Rick Neff is ready to find out if his
gamble on extending the cheek cut has
494
00:42:04,970 --> 00:42:05,970
off.
495
00:42:10,220 --> 00:42:11,220
Hi, Danny.
496
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:13,540
Oh, you guys are here, too.
497
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Oh.
498
00:42:16,460 --> 00:42:17,460
Yeah.
499
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,600
What's up, Kruzy?
500
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,720
Remember when you got your rock truck
stuck this week?
501
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,300
I was waiting for this, yeah.
502
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,580
First order of business. What are you
going to do?
503
00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:39,060
Rick needs an ounce per 100 yards from
the extension cut.
504
00:42:39,770 --> 00:42:44,830
After running over 7 ,000 yards, he
needs at least 70 ounces.
505
00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:47,630
Well.
506
00:42:48,050 --> 00:42:49,050
Let's see this.
507
00:42:49,110 --> 00:42:51,490
Shall we see if the old El Huncho paid
off?
508
00:42:51,690 --> 00:42:55,110
Holy smokes. That's pretty good, right?
509
00:42:56,650 --> 00:42:57,650
I like it.
510
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:00,510
You ready?
511
00:43:00,550 --> 00:43:02,370
Yeah. Hope your hunch is right.
512
00:43:03,070 --> 00:43:04,310
We're going to find out.
513
00:43:06,290 --> 00:43:08,710
All right. We got 10.
514
00:43:09,450 --> 00:43:11,090
We got 20. Excellent.
515
00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:12,590
30.
516
00:43:14,730 --> 00:43:16,570
There's 40. Going 50.
517
00:43:17,010 --> 00:43:18,750
Awesome. 60, 70.
518
00:43:21,690 --> 00:43:24,770
No way. 82 .37.
519
00:43:26,770 --> 00:43:33,450
With prices at a massive $1 ,750 an
ounce, Rick has mined
520
00:43:33,450 --> 00:43:38,090
$144 ,000 worth of gold from the cheap
cut extension.
521
00:43:41,210 --> 00:43:43,450
It's his biggest haul of the season.
522
00:43:45,910 --> 00:43:47,210
Unreal. Wow.
523
00:43:48,210 --> 00:43:50,690
That's awesome. I've never seen a
cleanup like that.
524
00:43:51,230 --> 00:43:52,230
Yeah, that's true.
525
00:43:52,490 --> 00:43:55,370
That is nice. We never had any like that
last year. No.
526
00:43:55,950 --> 00:43:57,010
That's awesome, guys.
527
00:43:57,410 --> 00:43:58,410
Awesome.
528
00:43:58,890 --> 00:43:59,890
Sure is pretty.
529
00:44:00,030 --> 00:44:01,030
Sure.
530
00:44:02,430 --> 00:44:03,750
Yeah! Yeah!
531
00:44:05,190 --> 00:44:06,190
Well,
532
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:08,270
I'm just happy that paid off.
533
00:44:10,540 --> 00:44:11,680
A few more of those, we're good.
534
00:44:12,220 --> 00:44:13,220
We're getting ahead.
535
00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:16,700
More than a few. Let's keep it up. Well,
let's go get a few more. All right,
536
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:17,780
let's do this.
537
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,680
Yeah, I'm super happy with the gold. I
haven't seen that kind of stuff in
538
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,660
right? So we're on the right track.
539
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,800
If we can keep that up, man, we're going
to smash our goals. So I'm happy about
540
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,800
it.
541
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:32,000
I've never seen a cleanup like that
before.
542
00:44:32,220 --> 00:44:33,580
Keep having cleanups like that.
543
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,520
I'm going to be going home with pockets
full of gold.
544
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:42,520
Well, we finally got some money in the
bank, which feels good. And personally,
545
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,980
really needed that to pay off. So I'm
happy. And now I can focus on the rest
546
00:44:45,980 --> 00:44:46,980
the season.
547
00:44:52,980 --> 00:44:54,660
Next time on Gold Rush.
548
00:44:54,980 --> 00:44:57,140
I'm going to go try to find some ground
in Alaska.
549
00:44:57,460 --> 00:44:59,060
With Parker out of the picture.
550
00:44:59,580 --> 00:45:01,480
You need to rethink your game, man.
551
00:45:01,780 --> 00:45:03,380
The crew is under pressure.
552
00:45:03,820 --> 00:45:04,820
Oh!
553
00:45:05,380 --> 00:45:06,900
The cracks start to show.
554
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:08,600
Oh, Jesus!
555
00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:10,600
In Rick Ness's operation.
556
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,360
That's not good.
557
00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:14,620
And the screen deck build.
558
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,160
Pick up the pipe.
559
00:45:16,580 --> 00:45:19,060
Puts Tony Beat to the test.
