F. Wait through, there's second gold mining season.
Your team Amethyst negative.
The Huffman crew is hit one brick wall after another.
In their hunt for gold, we're going to have to get our ass of gear.
The American Dream is in our hearts.
Every single one of us is taking a lot of crap.
It's Todd and it's crew finally closed in.
On their first gold of the year.
So it feels good, we're chasing that pocket of gold.
Their loader breaks down.
Hey, no, no.
Down south, at Port Gipin Creek.
Come get this stuff right away.
At the coat of boys, push their bodies and machines to the limits.
See you later.
And across the creek, at the big nugget mine,
the pressure to find gold.
Can you give us a minute?
Create's tension between Parker Schnubble and his grandfather.
Don't shut my crew down without talking to me.
Up at Port's Creek in the Klondike.
It's day 75 of the 150 day mining season.
It's taken half the season.
What the Huffman crew finally has their wash plant dialed in.
Take an old piece of equipment that's laid alongside the road.
You pour your heartache into it and you watch it come to life.
And it'll start producing gold.
I guarantee it.
It's a good day.
Overall, we're straight kicking some ass.
Now we're out of 100 freaking yards an hour.
This is the American dream right here.
We're doing something right.
And it's gold very soft.
This way we came to do it and we're finally doing it.
The Huffman crew is hungry for their first real gold of the year.
Since moving to the Kondike, they've battled to get their old wash plant up and running.
And I can sit here and not get to gold.
After a series of setbacks, they made the controversial decision to switch out their gold-trapping
ripples.
The plan looks like it just made pay off.
Guys, check this out.
The Huffman crew can now get gold from the pay dirt they feed into the plan.
With nothing to show for the first half of the season, they have no choice,
but to run as much dirt as they can.
The loader carries four tons of material in each bucket.
Chris pushes the loader hard to keep the wash plant fed.
All of a sudden, the loader conks out.
I'm down.
I won't be going anywhere for a while.
Without it, the plant has no dirt to run.
Dave Turin is first on the scene.
I think it's feeling hydraulic fluid.
Clear? Clear? Go ahead.
With hydraulic fluid leaking, Chris's force to turn off the loader.
We don't want to be spilling any oil on the ground, so we can get this up on a little spot
where we can get it cleaned out a little bit safer.
They can't let hydraulic fluid contaminate the creek.
Todd only has one option.
We're going to pull it out of here.
Get it over here.
We're changing to take a look at it.
So we're going to go out there and drag it back out of there.
So I can downloader the life in a mine.
Gotta get it out of there.
A loader broke down or pulling it out of here.
Todd plans to use the 400 excavator to pull the loader out of the pit.
This came a little break, but the loader weighs in at 35,000 pounds.
Look at the brick out.
Can't see over here.
Take the break up.
It's off.
off.
Hey, no, no.
We're going three steps forward.
Ten steps back.
For more power, Todd swaps out the 400 for the D8 doser.
Jackal.
And Jim Thurber attaches a stronger cable.
Rated for pulling 20 tons or 40,000 pounds.
Look okay.
Looks good.
The roll.
What's that cable?
There we got you.
Woo!
With the loader safely out of the pit,
Team mechanic James Harness diagnoses the problem.
We have lost a bolt and it's either coming out of the bolt hole
or the lock, the loss of that bolt,
allowed the seal above that to fail.
Deep inside the loader, a bolt has sheared on a plate connecting a hydraulic hose.
The three remaining bolts can't keep the seal intact.
With fluid leaking, the loader's hydraulic bucket bolt work.
Getting at the problem is not easy.
If I can get the bolt out with the rust seal in there,
we're done and we can go back to trying to assume we have some kind of a future
fun and some gold.
Without the loader, there is no pay gravel for the wash plan.
Todd is forced to shut down the entire mining operation.
The hopping crew still hasn't found a single ounce of gold halfway into the season.
The crippled loader is yet another major setback.
I think this probably about the most depressing day I've had in weeks.
It's frustrating. I almost started to think maybe we shouldn't be here.
There's too many things are beaten up on us.
Down at Porcupine Creek in southeast Alaska.
The Dakota Boys prep their DRocker wash plan to run dirt for seven straight days.
It would be pretty exciting, I'm sure.
You'll see.
Figure within one week.
We'll have more gold than they made all last year.
We've got to have about 15 ounces to make that work.
We'll see how many yards it takes to get there.
Hey, long as I can run, I'll make the bet.
Just a month ago.
Dakota Fred made a bet with Jack Hoffman.
I'm owned mine more gold in one week than you did all year.
It's taken the Dakota Boys four weeks to dial in their DRocker.
But now it's fully operation running up to 150 yards of dirt and out.
I feel charged right now.
To beat the Hoffman's first season total of 14.6 ounces in just one week.
The Dakota Boys have to run thousands of yards of dirt.
And they're going to have to do it without their business partner Paul.
There are just two men left to win the bet.
Fred digs Peter while Dustin takes it to the wash plan.
Just doing a hell of a job.
If you're up, but he young man, he can handle it.
He feeds the DRocker materials.
And then clears the tailings.
The washed rocks that the DRocker discards.
Rock feel like a playing catch-up constant.
Dustin works two jobs at once.
But after six hours of running, he's struggling to keep up.
Just there.
I'll get this stuff running and Dustin right away.
That freaks me out.
Dustin is fighting a losing battle.
He just can't keep the DRocker free of tailings.
It's clear that the Dakota Boys need three men working or they won't be able to run enough dirt.
It doesn't work.
And that's why we add three people.
So run with two people is less than half of what you can do.
Because not only are you just doing twice the work, you're going in between the jobs.
Okay.
So we'll add the look around and see.
There we are.
It'll be done.
What's that?
That way it'll be done.
Yep.
All right.
Well, we'll see you later.
There we go.
At this rate, Fred stands to lose a lot more than
just his bet with Jack.
Fred leaves a message for the only guy in town that can help.
I'll give you a call back a little later on.
See if I can catch you in the office.
Thanks, Ken.
This Fred.
Thank you.
Bye.
No loader.
No goal.
Up ahead.
Over at the big nugget mine.
The pressure to get to the goal.
It's Parker Schnubble hard.
I've got an idea.
If you want to be in charge of the plan,
we might as well make it official.
To go to Fred and his son Dustin.
Tell me that school.
Get back on track with their first real goal of the season.
My first baby nugget.
And just when they need him most.
Just surgery.
Let me down.
The Huffman Cruise mechanic.
James Hardest drops a bomb show.
But I can't do it in the condition.
At the big nugget mine in southeast Alaska.
17-year-old Parker Schnubble is clearing ground.
He's pumping a new dig site 200 feet up on the slope of Smith Creek Hills.
That is awesome.
Halfway through the gold mining season.
Parker has found only 14 ounces of gold,
worth just $22,000.
Since he took over his grandfather's mine at the start of the season.
Parker has had a hard time finding Peter.
I've got everything I need.
Except there with gold in it.
Desperate for a new source of gold,
Parker has sunk $8,000 into a new dig site up on Smith Creek Hills.
He dunked down the bedrock.
But there was no gold.
Parker took his grand-pause advice to keep at it on Smith Creek Hills.
A week ago, he cleared overhanging trees from an exposed wall.
Now Parker plans to dig into the side of the hill.
This is his last chance to make Smith Creek pay.
Well, I'm trying to get close to bedrock.
So what I'm going to do is take it all down and then take it down some more.
So that I'll hit the pay streak if there is one.
Pace streaks are channels of gold that often sit on the bedrock of ancient riverbids.
Thousands of years ago, Smith Creek could have passed through this hillside.
Parker believes that when it drying out, it left a trail of gold on its riverbed.
If he's right, the pay streak is very deep in the Alaskan dirt.
Looks like we found a bedrock.
The plan was finding them back wall and start falling down.
And when she knew it, but we actually did it.
We'll find some good gold up here.
I feel like we will go like we'll find good gold up here.
If Parker has finally hit bitten, this dirt could be full of gold.
He waste no time stockpiling material to run through his wash plan.
77 days into the mining season, Parker could be on the Smith Creek pay streak.
Back up at Courts Creek in the Klondike.
Mechanic James Harness struggles to extract a broken bolt that shut down the loader's hydraulics.
It's ugly in there, and without the right tools, there's no way to do anything about it.
For six hours, Harness is struggled to find a fix, but working under the loader has taken its toll.
Last season, Harness pushed his body to the limit,
and eventually an old spinal injury caught up with him.
I blazer shot.
Radical surgery in the offseason gave him a temporary reprieve.
At first light, the next day, James calls the crew together.
I was about in tears under that thing last night, trying to squeeze in there and get anything done.
I just gave up.
That's not like you.
I know.
It's a fight I can't win right now.
I've overdone it.
The surgery let me down months earlier than it was supposed to wear off,
and I need to go get some shots or some medication before I can go any further.
I was hoping to get a clean out before that happened, because we really need to know where we stand
and a lot of issues.
Mainly, if we have anything to divide up at the end,
or we spend our wheels for nothing, and a lot of decisions have to be made.
I've always been the team player, and I want to help you guys no matter what,
but I can't do it in the condition I'm in.
So I need a few days. It's all I'm asking for.
I know you and I had a couple of blocks earlier, but get it done,
and whatever you can get done, and we'll be here when you get back.
To sort out his back, harnesses heading 2,000 miles south to Oregon.
He's the only member of the Hoffman crew that can fix the broken loader,
and he could be gone for weeks.
See you later.
Right careful, John.
Yeah.
If this can help that pain, I'm glad to see you go.
Hopefully, we can keep going, you know, and just struggle through until he gets back.
The Hoffman crew is running out of time.
They have to find another mechanic to fix their loader, and quick.
At Porcupine Creek in southeast Alaska.
So what are we going to do today?
Dakota Fred and Sun Dustin are waiting on reinforcements.
I hope that's Kenny.
Go on.
All right.
Are you a site for sororize?
Good man.
Good man.
Fred is hired local miner, Kenny Waldo.
Kenny will operate the doser, so the Dakota boys can run the maximum amount of dirt.
So you're going to come out and help us out today?
Yeah, I'll come and help you guys now.
Fred might have a fighting chance of winning his bet with Jack Hoffman.
We got this little thing going with the former residents here.
I kind of boasted it.
I was going to get more gold in one week, then they got all last year.
Were you close with your help?
I think we can do it.
All right.
Well, you're the best shot.
Kenny starts clearing tailings, freeing up dust to collect four tons of fresh material with each bucket loan.
He didn't want ever three minutes.
That's about eighty ninety yards an hour.
Kenny doing a great job.
Stop in a man.
Now Fred has to hope that there's enough gold in the porcupine dirt to be 14.6 ounces by the end of the week.
Court's Creek the Clondite with their loader broken and wash plants shut down.
The Hoffman crew is putting the finishing touches on their gold room.
This year, the Hoffmans are automating their gold recovery protected from the elements.
Sit two gold catching machines, a duplex jig and a gold table.
Last year, we wound up in a gold band.
In their rookie mining season, the Hoffman crew failed to dial in their machines properly.
It's just unbelievable.
The Hoffmans learned their lesson.
This season, their machines are already set up to catch gold.
We wind up with a bucket of material like this that's loaded with freaking gold.
Then we shovel it into this hopper.
It's washed in that hopper.
It goes to the two jigs.
The gold bearing dirt enters the top of the duplex jig where rocks and stones are discarded.
The material then flows through pipes into the jig and onto a pulsating bed of steel shot on a fine screen.
Only the heaviest material, black sand and gold falls through into buckets beneath.
Ready for the next machine.
We come out with this red bucket from underneath here.
Like this, it'll have constant trade in it.
We take that bucket over to this hopper and we feed it into this hopper.
The concentrate then falls under the gold table where jets of water wash the dirt.
As the material works its way down the table, the constant vibration of the machine separates the gold from the black sand.
The gold should form into a line in the central channel.
This table is drop dead fantastic yet it really works and I'm real happy with it.
I have yet to see anything better.
This year, the Hoffman crew should be able to capture every grain of gold.
All they need to do now is get back up and run it.
I think missing from this beautiful equation is gold and run it so that's what we're doing next.
600 miles south at the big nugget mine.
Parker is at his wash plate overseeing the clean out of the dirt from Smith Creek Hill.
There's a lot on the online kind there this week.
You know, we've been having quite a few down weeks and I am worried.
Parker spent two weeks prospecting at Smith Creek.
If he's on the gold, Parker should see at least an ounce of gold worth $1,600 in this process material.
Pretty poor.
The gold prices are out, but not that high.
We need more in a few flakes.
I mean, that's only like $50.
It doesn't make sense.
It is what it is, you know.
I can't change what's in the ground.
I can get there.
I can dig it up.
There's gold, there's gold, there's not.
There's something weird about that piece of ground up there.
Well, if that ground is $300,000 a year's land there,
that waiting for us by the must be something hidden underneath it.
Smith Creek Hill isn't panning out in just four weeks.
Parker has to go back to high school.
His season is slipping away.
At court's creek in the clundice, Todd Hoffman has hired two local mechanics to fix the broken down loader.
Without it, Todd can't run dirt and find gold.
It cost me $200 and $50 an hour.
It'll be $200,000 probably by the time it's all said.
They wanted me to ask you what the plan is.
Plan is to pull it apart and fix it for over.
Fix it proper.
The mechanics discover what the Hoffman crew mechanic James Harness already knew.
A sheared bolt has compromised the seal of the hydraulic hose that controls the loader's bucket.
So one that flew out is this one here.
We got the guys and they have angled drills and stuff we don't have.
So what was impossible to ask they're going to be able to do.
Unlike Harness, the new mechanics have the tools to get to the underbelly of the loader to replace the bolt.
The work takes eight hours.
Looking good, we got our loader back.
The fix costs Todd $2000, but in the long run he hopes to get the money back in gold.
We're ready. Everybody's ready to see gold in that box.
This is a real good site. This is a real good site.
All right. Thanks, you guys.
With the loader and wash plant finally back up and runny.
The Hoffman crew is once again headed for their first gold cleanup of the season.
I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing finally.
Dark again.
Looks like we're all mine.
God, that thing is holding out.
That is.
It almost tastes uh, that's his golveder right there man.
Down at the big nugget mine in southeast Alaska.
Parker has fallen on hard times.
He followed his grandpas advice to mine Smith Creek Hill.
But so far, no gold.
He is now running reserve painter material saved for dark days at the mine.
This is the security dirt, I guess.
I think we can pretty reliably get around three quarters of an ounce of gold a day.
We'll at least break even like last week.
We didn't even find a half out.
It costs a thousand dollars a day to run the big nugget mine.
Parker is out of options.
He has to cover his costs.
While Parker stockpiles the reserve dirt,
Renpa John runs it through the wash plant.
Right now we haven't had much success.
This material is bringing here I'm sure we'll produce gold.
The wash plant runs for six straight out.
After running a hundred loads of grandpas reserve painter,
John calls it a day.
We've got all shut this thing down.
But Parker has more dirt that he wants to run through the wash plant.
Can you give us a minute?
Yep.
Pardon?
Don't shut my crew down.
Pardon?
Don't shut my crew down without talking to me.
Who's the boss?
You are.
What?
And that doesn't feel like it.
Parker, I don't want to.
I really appreciate the help.
But when it comes to telling the crew to shut the plant down,
I think that I should be have some input in that.
Well, I'm fine.
That's great.
I'm sorry.
I stepped out of line.
That was put it that way.
Okay, let's see.
The pressure to turn a profit is taking a toll
on the 17-year-old boss of the big nugget mine.
So I got an idea if you want to be in charge of the plant
and Terry and Gary.
I can just bring dirt to the plant.
I just like, I did last year.
Please, I did not wish to.
The last few weeks, that's been what's going on anyway.
So we might as well make it official.
He feels that I am undermining his authority.
I guess is the right way to praise it.
But in my mind, I wasn't doing anything but trying to help him.
Sometimes we don't know what we're doing.
Like that, that was a little more aggressive than I should have been.
He's going to take that pretty hard at night.
I might have been a little too rough on him.
After one day of running grand pause,
reserved dirt, Parker just may see his first golden weeks.
Four ounces.
Four ounces in a week isn't bad.
Four ounces worth about $6,400.
Enough to just cover Parker's running costs for the week.
Parker weighs the gold he's fell and so far this season.
18.7 ounces.
Pretty piss poor.
I gotta get back to work.
Parker needs 70 ounces to break even this year.
In just four weeks, he has to go back for his senior year of high school.
He has to find gold now.
If he doesn't, the big nugget mine just may go out of business.
At Porcupine Creek in southeast Alaska.
Dakota friend his son Dustin and a new recruit Kenny are running dirt.
Right now everything seems to be gone alright.
We hold in our breath for another couple hours here.
Everything all together.
You're closing in on a good day now, dude.
It's the seventh and final day for Fred to win his bet with Jack Hoffman.
Fred boasts that he could find more gold in one week than the Hoffman's found in their entire rookie season.
In a single week, the Dakota boys have run 5,000 yards of dirt.
It's finally time to clean up their wash.
Set it up.
Anything over 14.6 ounces will give them bragging rights.
We got it for it.
We are rolling know how much we got until we clean it up.
You need to prove me wrong or prove me right. We don't know.
If they are on the gold, it will be trapped in rows of ripples and special carpet known as minors moss.
Yeah, apprehensive. You don't know.
You can't see it.
It's all hidden out of that dirt mud, everything else.
My fate is in the box.
Dustin loads seven buckets of concentrated material into the clean out trauma.
The trauma washes the dirt separating out only the heaviest material, like gold.
This refined dirt is then caught in more ripples and minors moss.
I'm pretty excited.
I think we have more than we think we have.
It's taking me two and a half months to get to these seven days.
It's been a rough row.
Fred shuts down the trauma.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hold on. Just just let us sit there for a minute.
After 82 days, the Dakota boys will finally find out if they have found gold that
Porcupine Creek.
I want to see a nugget.
Yeah.
Big one right there.
There it is.
That is nice, huh?
Look at that.
There's a lot of little stuff, huh?
Oh, God, look at all those flakes.
Oh, there's so many of them, I love it!
The Dakota boys can see good gold,
but the layer of miners must might have trapped even more.
All right, there you go.
God, look at all those flakes.
Yeah!
It's all gold flakes in there.
We've got to need ever bit week and get.
They're on the goal, but the question is,
how much Fred lost his home in North Dakota to floods.
He needs 70 ounces, just to cover costs this year.
Well, I've invested very huge part of any savings I've had.
We're going to have to get a lot of gold to cover these expenses.
To determine their week's haul,
Fred and Dustin pan late into the Alaskan night.
Water!
Oh, no way.
Tell me that's gold.
That's gold.
That's gold.
Yeah.
My first baby nugget.
In the middle of the night, they are finally ready to weigh their gold.
The Dakota boys need over 14.6 ounces
to beat the Hoffman's total for all of last season.
All right, we need drum roll, Dustin.
I can't do that.
Are we ready?
Five months last year.
Six guys working in the same hole.
They get 4.5 ounces.
There's 14.5.
17.
Eighteen point nine loaf.
Eighteen point nine ounces in seven days.
Take that Hoffman's.
Fred has one bragging rights over the Hoffman's,
but more importantly,
the Dakota boys have found $30,000 of gold
in their first full week of running.
I'm proud of you, proud of everybody that helped.
I'll say you want it really,
it's been a hard roll to hold,
but hey, I'm happy.
I think tonight is a three beer night.
The Dakota boys are now on track
to pull in almost $300,000 in gold
before winter chokes off Porcupine Creek.
Good job, Fred.
While the Dakota boys celebrate long overdue success,
600 miles north at Court's Creek.
The Hoffman's repaired loader is bringing
pay gravel to the wash plan.
Todd and his crew are finally back up in running,
headed for their first payday of the season.
The bill's good to be riding,
chasing that pocket of gold in all.
This is the critical stage.
Everything we've done comes down to this.
We do this wrong.
It's all for hot.
After running a thousand yards
of the top layer of pay gravel through the wash plan,
Todd shuts down.
It's time for their first big cleanout of the year.
Look right there.
I see gold in here.
That's good.
That's all fine fine gold.
Look at it.
It's all over.
Right now we know there's gold in the slew,
but nobody knows how much.
That'll be kind of a benchmark for the rest of the season.
Are we going to make it or break it?
There are specs in the Hoffman crew's slew boxes,
but no one knows just how much gold
the first thousand yards of pay gravel holds.
The answer is in 50 pounds of muddy concentrate.
The Hoffman crew's future sits in this tub.
Okay guys, this is the big moments are first cleanout.
Let's get her done.
Let's get her done.
Let's do it.
Court's Creek, the Klondike.
Over a halfway through their second gold mining season,
the Hoffman crew is deep into their first cleanout of the year.
Step out of gold for us.
The result will make or break.
There's season.
Okay guys, this is the big moments are first cleanout.
Let's let Fred do his thing, guys, and everybody pay attention.
Let's get her done.
Let's do it.
We're ready.
Todd's recruited gold expert, Fred Duns,
to run the Duplex jig in the gold team.
Todd needs Fred to extract every last bit of gold.
First, Fred loads the dirt into the jig.
Just try to keep a constant feed.
Soar materials in our feeders.
We're putting it into a slurry.
Then it's going down to the street deck.
Our screen deck's cleaning arm material.
And getting our fine material out.
Then our fine material is going to carry through.
And into our kick.
Our light material is going up.
Our heavy material is going down.
This is the nephal process that works extremely well.
Fred, is this looks like pretty rich material.
Are you seeing any gold?
Fibal tell.
We'll see here in a minute.
Who knows, huh?
You can see how clean our material is.
Our screen's doing an exceptional talk.
Once all of the material is run through the jig,
the refined concentrate gathers in buckets below.
And it's looking good.
What is that going right through the bottom?
Is that gold?
Do you hear Brad?
Yep.
You can see some gold.
Three.
Here's our fine gold.
So now we've got the majority of our heavies.
Oh.
And our gold.
See the gold in it.
See the gold in it.
That's just a goddamn nasty, you know.
What about it, Fred?
Yeah, we're done with this process.
The final step in separating the gold from the dirt is the gold table.
So let's get the table rolling up.
Let's see what's in your fine stuff, thought.
Yeah.
This is a big time.
Looks like we're ready.
These grooves are catching our material.
So I'll be able to cut the gold right out of it.
And we'll get rid of the rest of the material.
That is it.
That's it.
That's the first jump.
It came down.
Drop down.
And went back up here and it's coming down.
There we go.
There goes.
It's in the bucket.
Guys, we're done.
We're just starting, but we're doing it.
Hey guys, let's see what you did.
Yeah.
After an hour of running the material through the machines,
it's time to total up the gold.
Here we go, Todd.
See how much gold you've got.
Four ounces.
Yeah.
Good Lord.
Four ounces.
Or $6,500 from only a thousand yards of pay gravel.
With their operation now firing on all cylinders,
the Hoffman should be able to process a thousand yards a day.
If they can average four ounces a day for the rest of the season,
the Hoffman crew will walk away with over $400,000 in gold.
Enough money to feed their families over winter.
But overall man, I feel pretty happy.
Almost a third of what we did last year.
And it's our first clean up.
They told us we couldn't get in here and get set up.
And actually run any gold this year.
We got four ounces on the top.
We're set up to end this season very successfully.
These clean outs are going to go from four ounces to 10 ounces to 15 ounces to 20 ounce clean outs.
We're going to have clean outs mark my words that are bigger than what we did all last season.
In one clean out.
Guys, we've got to work twice as hard as everybody else.
And we can put several hundred ounces in our pockets by the end of the season.
Let's get to work.
With 67 days left in the season,
the Hoffman crew can still strike it rich at Quartz Creek.
Guys, incredible to see the gold in that table.
We know something now.
We know that there's gold.
We know that we've got depth to go yet.
I mean, that's the gold.
That's where the gold is.
The American Dream was based on the fact that if you want it bad enough,
you can have it.
Everybody here has wrist a lot.
But the opportunities for the returns are phenomenal.
Four ounces is not bad to start.
By the time we get down to our real painter,
we're going to have our game down.
If we get everybody going again,
we'll be rocking in the morning.
So we've got to get going here.
In the second half of the mining season.
They guys, this is our final push.
Time is running out on all three plates.
We're going to run and run and run.
Easy, Jack!
The miners race to get to the gold.
Let's get to a hundred ounces.
I can't keep chasing the dream.
Disaster strikes.
My grandpa's had a heart attack.
Temporous flare.
Get out of the way, I've had it.
Stop!
Oh, what the f*** stop is.
I don't want anyone talking about it.
And the authorities clamped down.
We've got to shut you down because of some damn paperwork.
It's ridiculous.
And as the winds, once again, this sends on the miners.
We're getting our butts kicked by the winner.
They fight the frozen north to the bitter end.
Desperate times.
The required desperate measures.
Come on.
Woo!
That's our first Klondagnaga.
This might just be the part of the go.
We've been looking for it.
You don't have to get, you know?
You don't deserve to go.
I'm Christo Doyle executive producer of Gold Rush.
This time on the Gold Rush after show.
We've got to ask you.
We see it in the show all the time.
But in on your helmet, it says Big Boot.
It's actually a term of indirma domain in a way.
Regular boot.
Big Boot.
