I'm this.

Gold Rush. Okay, fire up, fire up.

Late in the season.

Tony beats, faces an expensive decision.

Gotta be kidding me. Oh yeah, that'll do it.

Can I cop 200 of that?

We're losing 40 bucks a minute.

Here at the end of the season, every second counts.

Rick Ness' crew faces devastating news.

I have a tumor inside me on my lung. I got one on my spine.

Talked to my doctor and wants me to go under the knife.

Is everyone on edge? Break one of the pieces of equipment here? We are.

We're all in on this right now.

And Fred Lewis and his band of brothers. This mayor's cut could be the last

chance to hit good ground.

Holy crap. Go dark. Looks like close encounters of the third kind.

To save their season.

The problem was doing great, and I would really like to hit 3 ,000 ounces this

year. We were down for a bit. We had some repairs.

We figured that out.

So, with a gold prize today, let's keep that thing set and keep it running.

King of the Klondike, Tony V, is fighting through the shortest mining

ever.

In the next couple of weeks, the temperatures will plunge below freezing.

and his chance of passing in on record high gold prices will be over.

At this time of the season, we've got to keep watching rocks 24 -7.

Hopefully we don't have any pops, because that's the only way we're going

make the money on the hill.

To stay on track, Tony has daughter Monica running the wash plant at the

Cut, along with childhood friends.

and honorary Beats family member, Ruby Mahoney.

Great as this material is, it's been some of the most difficult material that

I've had to write. And all of these big rocks are beating up our plant really

hard.

Hey,

can I get somebody on the water with that now?

Give me a coffee, Kevin.

Coffee, Kevin. Coffee, Kevin. I think I need your assistance.

Coffee, Kevin.

Once again in my truck, I looked over, water flowing out of this one, water

flowing out of this one, and there was so much back pressure that these lids

that you see right here and sit like so blew up.

The Megacut Trommel. 5 ,000 large rocks.

and sends fine material into a distributor.

From there, thick shoots evenly feed the sluice lines.

But large rocks have blocked the shoots, and the built -up pressure has blown up

the inspection lids.

You're literally blowing material and putting it right there.

There's not in the sluice blocks, which means that doesn't, you know...

Monica calls on brother and master mechanic, Kevin, to get them back up and

running.

Which scooter clogged?

These two.

The lid blew right off.

Like this does not belong in here.

Come on, get in.

Yep. One of the things that has a stupid box.

Does it look clogged from the top?

No. Looks all right.

There's either a hole in the front plate or the...

Tailings are piling over.

Yeah, one of those two.

Take a look -see, huh?

Oh, let's have a better look, yeah.

Oh, yeah, that'll do her.

Huh, yeah.

A foot -long hole in the punch plate is letting big rocks through and blocking

the chute.

Hey, Tony, hey, Tony, can you come meet us by the punch plate on the trommel?

You betcha.

Hey, Tony.

Think I found where the rocks are coming from? Well, Monica found it.

Yeah, that's no surprise there, is it?

No.

Well, I'll have to fix that.

The trouble is... So, Tim... There's both.

Might be about time, you think?

I think spend a couple days, redo all the punch plate, but then it's done and

don't have to worry about it for another 20 years. If we don't do this... We're

just going to have progressively more and more downtime, more and more

Well, you know what? We knew that was coming. We're going to get Cody, Brandon

in there.

We got the new punch plate here. Let's put it in. Sounds like a plan. Okay,

let's do it.

I'm pissed.

First, they'll remove the worn -out punch plate and replace it with six 8

sections.

Then weld the steel sections together and fix them to the trunk.

Welder Cody Hunter cuts out the old punch plate with an acetylene torch.

Well, I guess they finally wore a hole in the screen.

So we'll probably be down for what? Oh, four days, I suppose.

Instead of making some money, I guess we're going to be spending some money.

I mean, you know, we get an ounce and a half an hour. It's going to cost a

couple thousand bucks an hour.

You do the math, 24 hours a day.

So if it costs you 100 or 200 grand, what are you going to do? I mean, you're

going to have to fix it. It does wear out.

Take your loss and run, I guess.

A hundred miles deep, the Paradise Hill.

Ruby!

Come on, babe.

Rick Ness and his crew are gearing up for the final push of the season.

She definitely likes bacon. Oh, yeah, she loves the bacon.

Bacon's your thing.

Oh.

You look like you're about to fall right asleep anyway, Carl. I don't think

coffee would keep you up.

No. What am I supposed to do with that? Thought you needed some fruit in your

life. No, he ate an orange last year. Right.

Well, should we get out to work and continue on?

Continue ripping on each other? Well, yeah.

Best time of the day.

With just weeks before winter shuts him down, Rick still needs 300 ounces to hit

his seasoned gold.

To get him there, he's banking on the creek cut.

The gold's been nice and steady, like last year, which was a giant buck.

This year just feels different, you know. With everything we're up against

year, it's got a better vibe and it's just going much better. But I still need

to hit my 1 ,000 -ounce target.

As long as we don't hit any major snags or we don't get frozen out too early, I

think we're right on track.

Rock truck driver Chris Kruse hauls overburden from the cut.

Every bit of gold that we get out of this new town is going to get us that

closer to our goal. That's the objective right now.

Get to our goal, maybe even go beyond our goal, and get us back home to

Milwaukee then.

We are kind of crushing the numbers here with a small amount of people.

Yeah, we're back.

Mechanic Carl Rosk needs to get the second rock truck running to keep the

fed. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's been busy, man. Like, holy smokes, it's been busy.

Finishing up a rock truck here that's been broken down for a while, so we

finally got parts for it. So I've got to fix the leak up on the valve cover. So

trying to get it all done.

mechanical stuff fails, it just happens, right? That's why I have a job, so.

Got to keep the boys happy there, and we're getting there just slowly, right?

I just got a message here from my doctor that he wants me to call him ASAP, so

it could be something to do with my back.

You doing okay?

Two years ago, Carl revealed he had a tumor growing on his spine.

I've got a lot of stuff on my plate right now, man.

I have a tumor inside me on my lung, I've got one on my spine, and I've got

get it looked at.

Tumor? Do you have cancer?

No, well, we've got to check it out, right?

While the tumor turned out to be benign, it left Carl in constant pain.

All right, just saw him peel out of here.

Yeah, and he's heading up towards camp.

What's up, man?

Yeah, I got a little bad news here, dude.

So, um, talked to my doctor, and he wants me to go under the knife, like,

now.

Holy... Yeah, it's like non -negotiable, right? Like, it's...

Special surgeon.

So you've got to go right away.

Carl's surgeon has a slot for him to remove the tumor.

If he can get to the hospital in Kelowna, B .C., a thousand miles away in

three days.

And then it's like they haven't really been able to tell me what kind of

recovery I'm going to be, right? Like, am I going to be able to come back and

get everything? Because I've got to leave in such short notice, right? Yeah.

Well, none of that should matter.

I've been watching you flip around for the last couple years, right?

It's about time.

It's going to hurt us like your main guy here, right? Like this place doesn't go

without you.

I feel like I'm letting everybody down. No, no, you shouldn't. I mean, I was

shocked at first, Carl, but honestly, I'm happy for you. I hate seeing you

that. If you think about it, Carl, you won't have to do that all the time. I

know. I can't wait.

Man, you'll be back to backflips on your dirt bike every month.

I appreciate it, man.

I really appreciate it, man. Thanks, Rick.

And actually, yeah.

You're going to be a new man, Carl. You're going to be a new man.

You know, losing my mom a couple years ago, it helped me realize, you know,

health is really important.

And, you know, it's about timing. It's that surgery.

And it's going to hurt us really bad not having him here.

But, honestly, it's what's best for him, and I'm happy for him.

Heading to Whitehorse, and I'm going to get on a plane and head to Kelowna, and

we're going to get this done finally. So I'm a little anxious, I guess, but it

would be nice to be pain -free, leaving the crew the worst possible time, but,

you know, finally going to get it done. So I am ready. I will be back. So I'm

leaving my stuff while here. I'm leaving my dog. So, yeah, I've got to come

back.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I know.

He thinks he's coming with me, but he's not. I'm sorry you can't come.

Yeah, he thinks he's coming.

I'm sorry, buddy. You can't come with me. No.

I know.

I know. I know.

digging dirt.

I got Alex up on the hill feeding the colonel. Both floaters moving dirt.

Everything's going great.

We're back to business.

In Oregon's Elkhorn Mountain, ex -special forces medic Fred Lewis is

keep his dream alive.

Last week, Fred opened up a new cut on the site of the old mayor's house in the

hope of finding virgin ground.

This mayor's cut could be

It's our last chance to hit good ground.

If Fred's punch proves right, the new cut could turn his season around.

We're all in on this right now.

Got a nice distance set up.

We're able to keep up with the two estimators.

Kyle Pletzke.

uses the 988 loader to run pay dirt through the grizzly bars to filter out

rock.

I've got this big old dinosaur and she can really move the pay.

Seems to be going really well.

In a smaller L -60, foreman Kendall Madden

transports the pay to the wash plant.

Moving a lot of dirt.

Operating nice and smooth.

Love it like you see.

Former Sergeant Stuart McKenzie is on water duty.

Kind of inherited the pump of pain in the ass, but I've kind of become the

of all trades, master of none. It comes to mind that I've done a little bit of

everything. Kind of sucks, though, because...

We really don't have that much gold at this moment in time.

4 -0 PSI, Fred. 4 -0 PSI.

Copy.

Hey,

do these things overheat?

Bad.

That is going to up things if that's not a quick fix.

Holy crap. Listen to it.

That sucks.

Yeah. Could be a water pump, but we could be losing it to a bad head gasket.

That's a cheap part. However, time -wise, it could be weeks to get that

torn apart and get everything here that we need. If they have the part anywhere

near here.

Without a licensed mechanic, Fred and his crew must battle through.

On their own.

Let's not cry over it.

Reality is we're going to have to use the Volvo for everything now.

We just have to keep it moving.

Just look at our bucket standing here, man. I mean, I've got less than half the

amount of yardage that I can move at one time.

With its three -yard bucket, the L60 is less than half the size of the 988.

Okay, well, I'll put my head around this in the meantime.

Do what we got to do to keep this from moving all the time. I'll give it my

I'm not saying I won't, but I just want you to know ahead of time, I don't want

this to fall on me if we start falling behind.

No, it's not going to fall on you. It's going to fall on the fact that that has

the 10 -yard bucket and that has the 3 -yard bucket.

I've got more pay that I can put through the plant. That's probably the worst

thing that could happen.

If I can't put pay through the kernel, I'm not going to get any gold when the

season's over.

Kyle now faces the Herculean task.

I'm just going to have to fly around here as fast as I can and try to keep

Got to come all the way around Top Road to come see Seth.

He's basically locked in. Got overburden on one side, pay on the other.

Doesn't leave any room for me to hop in.

He has to collect pay at the mayor's cut.

Take it a hundred yards along the upper road to the grizzly box to filter

out heavy rocks, then run it to the plant.

For every five trips, he must take away one load of tailings, return along the

upper road, and dump them in the old swamp cut before starting over again.

Thank you.

It's just kind of constantly on me to keep moving, keep moving, keep moving.

I've got to go all the way back to the opposite side of the mine.

Get this pay over to the grizzly.

Wait now, this motor won't run fast enough for me.

You'll have to be safe.

I'm riding through the grizzly. Hold on to the grizzly.

Another grizzly to the pay pile.

Right now I'm with the tailings.

It's probably a 10 minute round trip.

Kyle's really having to work like a madman trying to keep up.

I kind of feel bad the faster I load the more tailings I make and, well, the

more he's got to work.

Three buckets left, Fred.

We're out of dirt.

All our pay has been already processed through the portal.

We've got to shut her down early.

It's soul -crushing because everything's working right now.

We just don't have pay because we don't have the machine.

Do work. Shut the water down, buddy.

What the f*** now?

We're out of pay, man.

Already?

It's not possible, is it? It sucks, you know.

Damn it.

We're going to have to do something else.

Keep that Volvo running full time.

We're going to have to do night shifts, I think.

That's the only way to do it.

Yeah.

Stockpiling day and night. Keep the plant up and running.

So I'm going to put you, Kendall, and Alex. You guys all have the most

experience. Give it a good week. We'll just do a whole week of night shifts and

see how that helps. Got to do something, man.

All right, man. All right.

Decided it was the best thing to do. Pretty much going to try and keep things

moving constantly. If we can stockpile enough pay and to get everything set so

the night crew can run, if we'll ever be the dirt out of here, we can.

To get the plant back up and running, Fred orders a split shift.

The day crew uses the loader to stockpile pay.

Then, the late shift will use the same loader to feed the wash plant and remove

tailings.

How's it going? It's Fred.

Fred calls the claim owner. Who leased him the 988?

Good and not good. Everything is going good except I think the 988 is done.

Kyle, being the one that operates it the most, seems to think it's the head

gasket.

All right, well, let me get back to you, and we'll talk about it a little bit.

All right.

That, I'm just going to use the money that I would have used on that loader to

get another one. He's not getting a dime.

With enough pay stockpiled to run for at least five hours, it's time for the

first night shift.

All right, everything's looking good, gents.

Pretty sunset on the line, but you know what? Not enough time to look up and

enjoy it. Got to keep my nose down on the ground and keep on working hard.

Down here in the mayor's cut now, the longer we can run, the better chances we

have of finding as much gold as possible.

Running this without Carl is just so beyond not ideal that it's not even

You know, it's flat out scary.

At Lower Duncan Creek, mechanic Carl Rosk has left the claim for urgent

Carl, you know, my buddy, my mechanic, he's going to be sorely missed.

Man, it's just, I'm not going to let my guard down. I'm very, very aware of what

time of year it is and how every second counts.

Miss the guy. It's not easy not having a friend here and not having a buddy to

work with.

And of course not having a mechanic is really, really not fun either.

We already have two downed rock trucks, so everyone's on edge.

Not to break anything. If you break one of the pieces of equipment here, we are.

I'm not a full -time mechanic.

I can't run the computer. I can do small fixes, a little bit of welding, a

little bit of wrenching. To bring up another mechanic here is...

It's a long call, especially the tail end of this season right now.

We lost Dave.

We're losing thousands and thousands of dollars.

We lost Carl with his super unfortunate.

You know, if he's not busy pulling wrenches, he'll jump the machine.

You know, he'll do whatever needs to be done.

And that's what we're going to lose.

What in the fuck is going on here? Why will you not dig?

It's me.

Something's going on with the bucket.

I'm going to need you to come out here and take a look at this thing.

On my way, boss. Heading there now.

At Lower Duncan Creek, Rick Ness is without a mechanic, and his 700

excavator is down with a broken bucket.

Former pike sitter Ben Belli is the only crew member with enough welding

experience to attempt the fix.

This is the spot where I had Carl fix it last time? Yep.

He did not want to do it because it's not right. So, unfortunately, we're

throwing one more band -aid at it before we fix it right.

Okay.

Two months ago, Carl welded the collar back on when it failed the first time.

How do we...

Get this to work.

Well, well, well, to make it tighter, right? Yeah. Just trying to build this

more.

Ugly.

I'll send this bucket out and get it fixed properly this winter, but we just

need to get this bucket off, re -weld this collar back on just like Carl did,

and slam it back into service.

Sounds good.

All right. Get ready.

The bucket on the 700 excavator is connected to the arm by two pins and

by welded poly.

Carl's weld has failed, causing the pin to loosen, making the bucket unusable.

Now, Rick and Ben must attempt to re -weld the collar.

The collar boss is going to go back onto this side right here, and it's going to

be all lined up. This is going to be flush.

It'll kind of look...

Like this.

Make it happen. You got some work.

Okay.

Every minute that this one seems down, we're falling behind out in the cut,

right? And at the end of the season like this, that's not where you want to be.

Like, we had so much happen. We had to trample, like, to get this creek cut

going. Like, we're barely, barely staying ahead.

And something like this could, you know, derail everything.

So we need to get this thing hammered back together quick.

and get it back out in the field digging.

So this is all cleaned up now.

All the old welds are gone. It's level. And all we have to do is put the pin in

through here and line everything up, tack all around it, and weld her up.

All right.

Ready? Yep.

It'll be pretty good. I don't have that much bite.

Okay. Okay, I got to go to work.

Drop it.

Drop it.

Yeah.

It's fine.

It's going to go back together.

It's going to take a hell of a lot of heating and welding.

It'll do the job.

Oh.

Your dad is not going to be happy.

A lot of work to get that thing done.

I think Carl would be happy about it.

Yeah. He'd be even happier that he didn't have to do it.

Yeah! We got it, buddy!

Nice job. Nice work.

Why do I even have Carl here?

Thanks to Ben's welding skills, the 700 is back in the game, and Rick...

is back on the gold.

Oh yeah, this turned into quite a project, eh? At Paradise Hill, with the

season slipping away, Tony B's operation has been down for five days.

as Cody and Brandon race to finish welding the new punch plate into place.

We've only

completed two -thirds of the project.

Really?

Fill up. Get in.

Stop. Come around.

Hook it up.

I get frustrated for a second.

Oh!

Get on the boys' cases so they hurry the fuck up, and then hopefully they knock

it out. In the meantime, we're doing something.

The old fellow's not real happy about it. No.

Sucks being down.

Yeah. All right. We'll see you later. Bye -bye.

Day six, and still no gold to sow for the week.

That is good enough.

Yeah. Never mind what it looks like. Done, done, done. What do you want to do

with these end pieces here? Nothing. Nothing?

That's going to come next time when I do it, when I extend it, Cody. Okay.

It's another half a day for all of them, believe it or not.

All right.

We'll do it again in the spring.

Already down $300 ,000 in lost gold.

Tony wastes no time getting the trommel back up and running. Monica D. Garvey,

Monica D. Garvey.

See if we can make some money instead of spend some money today, I guess.

So, see if we can put some rocks in there today.

Firing it up.

Super excited to get back to sleuthing. Okay, Kevin, fire it up, fire it up.

Copy, firing up.

Let me know when the water shows up.

So we've always had a little bit of a leak where this hose and valve connect

the 12 inch pipe there.

But I guess it decided when everything was shut off that it was going to be

excellent.

What do you think?

I will take the whole thing off, Alan. Take the time. You got to do it right.

Get the wrench for the other end.

You like?

We're ready to fire it up here in a minute.

Okay.

They're firing it up.

Amazing, huh?

Right? Super cool.

six days, so it's nice to be back up and running.

I mean, every day you don't run, you do lose a lot of money, but sometimes

that's just how the ball rolls, right?

See a huge pile of pay in front of us, so that's movement in the right

direction. At the Elkhorn claim, with just one loader, Fred Lewis' crew is

working split shifts in the hope of a big payout from the mayor's cut.

I know this next few weeks.

It's actually pretty crucial. I'm a little bit nervous about it. If we don't

anything, we're screwed.

Ah, I see. They put some more boulders in here.

Using the two excavators, Kara, Stuart, and Stephan, stockpile pay during the

day shift.

We've got high expectations for what we need to get done here.

Back at camp, Kyle, Kendall, and Alex are ready for another night of feeding

to the wash plant.

We'll get up there. We've got some work to do. Go do it. Can you throw me my

jacket in there?

We can cope.

Yeah, it's a little nifty, right?

Got to give it up to Alex and Kyle. They're busting their ass.

Love it.

We're keeping things moving along smoothly.

Sometimes we even impressed ourselves.

It looks like close encounters of the third kind or something.

Seems like we're doing well, we're doing things right, and we're working well

together as a team.

So far, so good.

going against us right now but for the most part we're running and that's all

that matters dude

my

freaking heart is racing all of a

sudden i'm just look over and i just see your whole thing just start keeping

sideways

I think you might have to help me back out of this, dude. This is a little

sketchy. All right. Yeah.

You got it. Just straight back.

Let's not do that again, please.

Yeah, try not to.

Sketchy night.

Man.

Stay safe.

Scared the living out of me. Yeah. That makes two of us.

Let's keep all the wheels down on the ground, please. Yeah. Sounds good, bro.

And, you know, it's been really wearing on me personally.

Go ahead and fix up the old 988.

I'm not sure that's an option.

With his crew on their last legs, mine boss Fred has taken action.

When I say all in, I mean all in.

I'm going to invest every penny I have to make this season successful.

If this doesn't work, I'm going to go down fighting.

Instead of taking three weeks to fix the 988, he'd lease to replace them.

Look at what we got.

Whoa, look at the bucket on that bad boy.

I know.

Great.

Looks like we got a new loader. With a five -yard bucket, the 380 can do nearly

twice the work of the L60.

That's the way to do it.

Woo!

Okay.

Ta -da!

Yeah!

Awesome. That bucket's going to help. Check her out.

Five versus a three, so we get almost double.

I didn't even look at it. I called them and I said, I need a loader. And they're

like, what kind? I'm like, I want the biggest bucket you have delivered to

spot. We got her to the end of the season.

Really? We can go get it dirty.

How many burnouts can we do in these tires?

At least one real good one.

Let's freaking fire it up.

In the 380, Kyle gets back to stockpiling pay and clearing

tailings.

under my butt again.

Should be able to be pretty easy to finish out the season in this big thing.

So we need to find a lot more gold.

And Kendall uses the second loader to run the pay to the plant.

The Lewis crew is back to running mayor's cut pay.

We got this new piece of equipment and I can tell morale is high.

Kyle's super happy. We're going to be moving a lot more efficiently around the

plant. Got a bunch of stockpiled pay. We've got more pay in the hole to come

out. Ready to rock and roll.

Hey, let's fire it up.

Hey, hey.

Hey, guys.

After six days of repairing their trommel, the Beats finished their week

-handed. We had rocks in the boots, meaning they were falling through the

plate. We did find some holes. Yeah, eventually.

Yeah. But guaranteed every time you stop the trommel and look for holes, they're

under the few rocks you left.

Every time. So, I mean, taking, putting the screens and everything took a bit of

time. I mean, if you run 24 -7, every...

At some point, you're going to have to do maintenance.

So that's all we did this week.

So, zero go away.

You know, it's too bad because we're around 2 ,300 and it would have been

to do it all the way this week.

But you put new screen in it. So, I mean, that's what you got. You got

maintenance. If the weather holds up in a couple of weeks, we should be all

right.

If history repeats itself.

Winter will shut down Tony in just two weeks, but he still needs 700 ounces to

hit his season goal.

I mean, we don't have any goals to raise, so you guys might as well go back

it. Get me some goals for next week. Yeah, Mike.

Get your traumas full up, Jack.

Yeah, Mike.

All right. Let's do it. Bye, guys.

Let's do it.

Bye.

You better have some good news, man.

I always have news.

Well, I mean, gold's good news, right?

You guys want to see?

Yeah, let's do it. I'd rather do this than talk about all the bull we have to

through. Down a loader for the week.

Fred's crew ran at half capacity.

Well, that one's shiny.

Nice. A couple good flakes.

The mayor's cut is the third cut for the Lewis crew.

They needed to pay off. Not as much, guys, but .24.

Worth just $456, bringing Fred's season total to

2 .98 ounces.

Not super happy about this week, but I think that how many more things could go

wrong? Oh, that's right.

We were kind of expecting a low one this week.

Keep on soldiering on anyway.

We don't have a lot of time left here.

The mayor's cut is better than both previous cuts, but Fred and his crew

need more than ten times this much gold to save their season.

I think at this point any waste of time is bad. We need to use every second we

have of every day at this point.

Just try and put as much through the plant as we can.

I don't like it, but... This is why we're here. Yeah.

Let's get back to work. Back to work.

Yep. Do it.

If we can keep the plant up and running and not have as many issues as we had

last week, we'll get more gold. But right now, this total is lower than the

last.

Any obstacles that come at this point, we're just going to punch them in the

face and keep moving.

Pay dirt, plant, gold.

That's pretty easy.

It's just always a bummer of a week when one of your friends goes down, right?

I did speak to him today, and it actually didn't go that good.

It was supposed to be like a six - to eight -hour surgery, and he'd go home

night, and it didn't go that way at all.

I don't know what happened, but he was in there for over 12 hours.

Holy... Yeah, and...

And he sure as hell didn't go home. He's still there, and they don't know when

they're going to let him out.

Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, I mean, he's in good spirits.

Hopefully after he recovers, he'll be a spry young man again.

Hopefully, you know, the result of this isn't much better, Carl. He's tough.

You can't put him down that easy.

No. You know, do we have a plan in place? What are we going to do? We'll

try to take care of our stuff.

If something breaks, hopefully it's nothing major, and we can all get

and fix it and keep going because we're so close to the end.

On another note, we did still have work to do, and we still have gold to weigh,

and this pan feels pretty heavy, if I'm being honest.

All right.

Let's weigh that up.

At an average of 63 ounces a week in the creek cut, Rick has fallen short for

the past two weeks.

He needs 77 ounces this week.

to get back on track to his 1 ,000 -ounce season target.

40, 50, over 60.

Yeah, that's over 60.

Oh, yeah.

60 .46 ounces.

Worth $115 ,000, Rick and his crew land short of their goal

for the third week in a row in order to hit 1 ,000 ounces.

They need to pick up the pace before winter freezes them out. Well, cheers to

Carl Health.

Yep, cheers to that. Cheers, boys.

I've known Carl 19 years now, and there's no way this guy's not coming

He's got more titanium in him than, like, Terminator.

He'll be back.

Well, on the surface right now, I'm scared.

Trying to be mining without a mechanic.

At this point, I'm going to put my buddy Carl back in one piece.

Next time on Gold Rush.

It's definitely been a bit of a tough year.

It's been a pretty short time.

Parker snubbles crew.

Battles late season trouble.

There's less people here to pick stuff, so it's kind of all on my plate.

Fred Lewis gets vital help.

You know, that's just not acceptable. If that was happening at our mine site,

Parker would come out and not be happy.

And now he knows our struggles.

What happened to you, Tony? And the long, hard season catches up with Tony

Beach. That's what's telling. I don't know what happened.

They came apart. That's honestly what happened.
