This is not a game. 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000 The question is, can they do it? 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Stop. 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Right there. 18 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000 The season's over. 19 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Down south at Porcupine Creek, 20 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000 the Dakota Boys just may have hit the jackpot 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000 in the nick of time. 22 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Just act with gold. 23 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,000 And across the creek, 24 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000 17-year-old Parker Schnabel has one more chance 25 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000 to seek the big nugget line. 26 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000 There's nothing in this dirt. 27 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000 I don't know what the line will do. 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Up at Court's Creek in the Klondike. 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000 It's the end of September. 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000 The other miners have packed up for winter 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000 and are long gone. 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000 To turn a profit for the first time in two seasons, 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000 the hopman crew desperately needs new painter. 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000 But winter is tightening its grip. 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Here's his frozen heart as a rock. 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 But I want to get to that hundred ounce mark. 37 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Well, they're going to know until dry. 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000 That's right. 39

00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 the hopman crew has fought to strip gold rich pay gravel 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000 from their plane. 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000 This is a whole nother ball

the Cut 2 right here in a pile. 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000 The first two cuts produced 81 and a half ounces of gold 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000 worth 130,000 dollars. 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Now, Cut 3 is their only chance of hitting their 100 ounce gold. 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 But the ground is rock solid. 52 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Dave, get us fricking at

last gold of the season. 149 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Soon, the Alaskan winter will force them out. 150 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000 You ready to go this morning? 151 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Let's go get it done. 152 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Let's get it fired up. 153 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,000 It's been one week since their last delivery of fuel. 154 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 I'm a bit empty there. 155 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Yeah, it's a little close. 156 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000 Definitely a little close. 157 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000 All right. 158 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 We're right at the end now. 159 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 That's probably got enough for about a day or two. 160 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000 And that's about it. 161 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,000 I just don't have the cash to buy another tank of fuel. 162 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000 We're down to the wire right now. 163 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000 We're down to the wire. 164 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Over the last three weeks, the Dakota boys have been pulling great bedrock dirt from the bottom of their 80 foot pit. 165 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000 There's gold dripping off that stuff. 166 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 So don't spell a drop of it. 167 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000 They found 68.2 ounces this season worth nearly $110,000. 168 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000 The last clean out of gray dirt yielded almost 18 ounces. 169 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000 $28,000 were in just two days of running. 170 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000 The Dakota boys need to run as much of this gray dirt as possible. 171 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Like the Hoffman, they have covered their costs. 172 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000 And now they want something to show for their long hard season. 173 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 But time is not on their side. 174 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000 All right. 175 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,000 For another day or two here, we have to try and watch that fuel real close. 176 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000 See how much gold we can get out in the ground. 177 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000 And let's show it time that we have. 178 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Well, again, getting in the sub-footstop now. 179 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000 I definitely great material folks. 180 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000 That is definitely great material. 181 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000 All right. 182 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000 That's what I want to see. 183 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Hey, dust. 184 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Check this out. 185 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Uh, something's a padding is changing here. 186 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000 See that gray stuff? 187 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000 Down at the end of the water line, way down there. 188 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000 It's gone from 4 feet above that water down there to about 8 feet above that water. 189 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000 So just 4 feet, that probably means that the bedrock also makes a bend right there. 190 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000 My thoughts exactly. 191 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Brett believes the gray material at Porcupine Creek sits on bedrock. 192 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000 If this material is rising, so is the bedrock under the 270 excavator. 193 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000 Fred could be on top of an ancient waterfall. 194 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,000 And potentially millions of dollars in gold trapped in the pit, 195 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000 or glory hole at the bottom. 196 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000 You know what, I think we might be close to that waterfall. 197 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000 There you go right here. 198 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000 There I say glory hole. 199 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Last season, Jack and Todd spend five months trying to get 200 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 down to the glory hole at Porcupine Creek. 201 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Now, Fred's seeing signs that he's very close. 202 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 This is the rock. 203 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000 It's kind of a blue green looking. 204 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000 When you see that, you know it's associated with gold here. 205 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000 But the Dakota boys are almost out of time. 206 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000 And these, to get to the glory hole goal. 207 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 I'm just going to sit here and dig the rest of this stuff tonight. 208 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000 Wash it and rock, young man. 209 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000 Sounds good to me. 210 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Winter is closing in on the Alaskan Goldfields. 211 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000 At the big nugget mine, 212 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Harper Schnubbel's father Roger is digging 50 feet down in a test hole 213 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,000 near the top of Smith Creek Hill. 214 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000 It's nice time I got here to help out. 215 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,000 So far, Parker is only found 34 ounces of gold worth around $55,000. 216 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000 He has to find a new pastry before the season ends 217 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000 to save the big nugget mine. 218 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000 His 91-year-old Grand Pod John is checking on progress. 219 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Hey boss, nice to see you up here. 220 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I hope so. 221 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000 This dirt is kind of 15 feet below the last test that we took. 222 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,000 This is probably the last few buckets we'll take out of Smith Creek this season. 223 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000 After Grand Pod John's heart attack, Parker once again took over control of the mine. 224 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000 The real priorities to find out what's at Smith Creek. 225 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 I'll find out what's up here. 226 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000 He's in the same hole on Smith Creek Hill. 227 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000 But struck out. 228 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000 Now, he's digging even deeper in the same test hole. 229 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000 If there's gold on Smith Creek, he thinks it lies close to Bitrock. 230 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000 It seems like it's digging a little bit tougher than it was before. 231 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Can you feel it? 232 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 They're growing closer. 233 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Dad, are you starting to hit innocent boulders? 234 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000 It's mostly clay, I think. 235 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,000 This stuff, like it's clay in rocks. 236 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000 It's like there's a big rock in it. 237 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000 And I don't think that we've seen any of that before. 238 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Okay. 239 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 We're just going to throw it all away though, right? 240 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000 No. 241 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Or are you going to take this? 242 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000 To the plant. 243 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 Pardon me? 244 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 I'll talk to you for a second. 245 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Roger is part owner of the mine. 246 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 He's not impressed by Parker's plan to run clay-rich material. 247 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Parker has lost $35,000 already this season. 248 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000 His dad doesn't want to throw good money after bad. 249 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000 I'm concerned because Parker's not finding any color where we're at. 250 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000 You have to ask yourself, is all this for not. 251 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Parker's spending a lot of money of yours to try to find gold. 252 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000 When you start committing yourself to that kind of an expense, 253 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,000 you have to do it on the faith that you're going to find a pretty good chunk of gold down there. 254 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 That's pretty deep hole. 255 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000 It just doesn't make sense that it's just like unending. 256 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Right. 257 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000 It just, I can't help but think that at some point we have to find the bottom. 258 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Roger Schnubble doesn't want to dig any deeper. 259 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Without proof there's gold on Smith Creek. 260 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000 That's got me nervous. 261 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Definitely. 262 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 About running out of money running out of time. 263 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000 It's just Smith Creek's been something that we've talked about for years. 264 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 We have to figure out what's up here. 265 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Parker takes fresh dirt from over 50 feet deep in the test hole down to the wash plan. 266 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000 The future of big nugget rests on this one final cleaner. 267 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 Up at Quartz Creek in the Klandai. 268 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Todd and mechanic James Harness inspect the broken D8 doser that Dave Turen stranded in Cut 3. 269 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Now crap. 270 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000 He thinks the seal blew in this piston that holds the track tight. 271 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000 That should be all the way out. 272 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000 I know. 273 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Will you be able to tell by looking in there? 274 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Maybe. 275 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000 Oh man, this is not good. 276 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000 Everything's gone. 277 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Internally the piston is lost the oil because the seal went out. 278 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000 It's got to come apart. 279 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000 This thing's wasted and there's nothing we can do. 280 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Come on, we were right here for the winter. 281 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Alright, thanks James. 282 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Sorry man. 283 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:00,000 A seal has split inside the piston that tightens the doser's track, 284 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000 rendering the D8 useless. 285 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000 With only days left in their season, 286 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000 James's diagnosis is a worst case scenario. 287 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000 We may have to replace the whole undercarriage on that thing. 288 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000 It's a huge job. 289 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000 It's not feasible to even try. 290 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000 It's done. 291 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000 Dad! 292 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Those were dead. 293 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000 I'm out of material with the plant and not to. 294 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 I don't believe it. 295 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Well, believe it. 296 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000 Well, there's absolutely no more band aids. 297 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Nothing we can do. 298 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Oh crap. 299 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Sorry, Dad. 300 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000 You gotta have a pair of balls, you know? 301 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000 That's it. 302 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000 I just wanted to tell you. 303 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000 Okay. 304 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000 The Huffman crew wants to make a profit for the first time 305 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000 and leave Courts Creek as successful gold miners. 306 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Jack isn't ready to go home just yet. 307 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Sometimes you have to just do it yourself. 308 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Be quiet, you're quiet, you know, but I don't like that. 309 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 I don't accept it. 310 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000 I did take that very good. 311 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000 You know what? 312 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000 He wants to go over there and dig me some pager. 313 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Hey, tell if you can get it, I'll run it. 314 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Everybody is a good keep trying. 315 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000 Don't make it. 316 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000 But if they quit, they can't make it. 317 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000 I know where the brick and gold is. 318 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000 We get a couple ounces out of this. 319 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Push it over to the hundreds. 320 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000 I can see the gold sparkling in a jack. 321 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000 I hope so. 322 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000 And a point road that I broke it up and passed I can. 323 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000 We'll find out. 324 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Okay, Todd, I'm coming with the first bucket off the country. 325 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Reaching their 100 ounce gold will confirm this crew as gold miners. 326 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Jack works hard to scrape up over 300 yards of pay grab. 327 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000 Chris stockpiles it at the wash plan ready to run. 328 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000 But after two hours, even Jack and his beloved 400 can dig no further. 329 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Yeah, I think that's it. 330 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000 That's too close. 331 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000 We did our best. 332 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000 Maybe just that little bit. 333 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000 We ran out of here. 334 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000 It's got our, enough balances to put us over the 100 bark. 335 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 I hope so. 336 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Fort Gipin Creek, southeast Alaska. 337 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000 After 12 hours, the Dakota boys are still running material through their deraille. 338 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:21,000 They're in a race against the Alaskan winter. 339 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000 I do an air dusting. 340 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Doing good. 341 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000 It got real dark out in, isn't it? 342 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000 With every scoop, Fred gets closer to the gloryhold 343 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000 that a loop of Jack Huffman last season. 344 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Woo! 345 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Man, that's the hard part. 346 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Yeah. 347 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Horse graduates is trying to get one bucket of material out of there. 348 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 They've freed the pump stuff. 349 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Pumping right now. 350 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 On the DRocker. 351 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Just check the canal. 352 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000 We probably ran out of water. 353 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Negative. 354 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000 I can see the canal. 355 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,000 It's full of water. 356 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Oh, crap. 357 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Engine is running. 358 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Engine is running. 359 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 I'll be right there. 360 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 The pump is spewing water. 361 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000 No water is making it to the wash plan. 362 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Oh. 363 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000 Looks like we've busted a seal, Fred. 364 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Holy cow. 365 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Look at all the palm water. 366 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000 You're leaking like a seal. 367 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Some of the f***. 368 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:49,000 I mean, that is a critical piece of equipment right there. 369 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Well, they can't fix a seal out here. 370 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000 No damn way. 371 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000 You've got to separate the pump and the motor. 372 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000 Come on. 373 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 We can't get any parts to fix this. 374 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,000 I could probably fix it, but we talking for maybe five days. 375 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000 Especially out here in the field. 376 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,000 So you think this is the end? 377 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000 I don't know what else to say. 378 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000 Well, that's the end of the season. 379 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000 This water looks like. 380 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000 I really hate to tell you that. 381 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Well. 382 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000 I'm sorry to disappoint you, but. 383 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000 I'm sorry. 384 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,000 There's no quick fix in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. 385 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000 Fred is out of time. 386 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Winter is about to freeze, porcupine creek. 387 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000 The busted pumps signals the end. 388 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 Just as the Dakota boys were finally close to discovering porcupine creeks glory hole 389 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 and potentially millions in gold. 390 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000 To shut down right now, just really is a let down. 391 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000 We got into some really good stuff. 392 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000 They could have been pots of gold in there. 393 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000 We're going to just think about it all. 394 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000 Win the law. 395 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Less than a mile away at the big nugget mine. 396 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Parker has stock filed the dirt. 397 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000 His father Roger dug up on Smith Creek Hill. 398 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000 There's just 16 yards of material to run through the wash plan. 399 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 I'm nervous. This is last task. 400 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000 This afternoon, I'm going to talk to my dad and grandpa about Smith Creek. 401 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000 And if there's nothing in this dirt, I don't know what the line will do. 402 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:50,000 I'm scared. 403 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,000 Gary Grogan fires up the wash plan. 404 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,000 It's the first time Parker has run clay-rich ground this season. 405 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Gary pushes hard to keep the wash plan running smoothly. 406 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000 The clay sticks together really tight. 407 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,000 You can see how to get the dirt filled up on the pan. 408 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000 It'll probably stay like this in the whole run. 409 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,000 Because I was looking at the material and brought down. 410 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000 It's got a lot of clay mixed in with this. 411 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,000 The final test of Smith Creek dirt last just 45 minutes. 412 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:38,000 We're done. 413 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000 Beautiful. Gary works water into the dirt. 414 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Only the heaviest material, including any gold, should stay in the sluice pan. 415 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:52,000 The whole future of the mine rests on this final material bearing gold. 416 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000 We don't see a thing yet. 417 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000 It doesn't look like there's anything at it. 418 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000 If there's more than half an ounce, we probably would know by now. 419 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,000 It's too bad about this. 420 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000 Yeah. 421 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Depressing. 422 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000 In confusing. 423 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000 Yeah. 424 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,000 That's down 35 feet. 425 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000 We haven't hit bedrock yet. 426 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000 I don't know. 427 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,000 I don't think there would be some gold in it. 428 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000 I don't know what it means. 429 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Right. 430 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000 But there's still one area of the wash plant. 431 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000 Parker hasn't cleaned out. 432 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000 What the f***? 433 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Actually something right here. 434 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000 This is the little suits. 435 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000 It's fed out of the jig. 436 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Wow. 437 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,000 There's quite a bit in here. 438 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Gary. 439 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000 That's... 440 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Wow. 441 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000 That's, like, not bad at all. 442 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000 That's not bad at all. 443 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000 You know, the way that clay packed into the pan and in the shoe. 444 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000 That might have some to do with it. 445 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 The clay in the test material clogged up the pan. 446 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000 The key gold catching area on Parker's wash plant. 447 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:32,000 This forced gold and black sand to wash over the top of the clay and down through the duplex jig. 448 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Where it was caught in the jig's sluice box. 449 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000 That's definitely a big change. 450 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000 And everything was clean. 451 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000 So that's how it today. 452 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000 That's how it today. 453 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Yeah. 454 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Okay. 455 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Well then... 456 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Well, we've got some big news. 457 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000 Yeah. 458 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000 After months of failure. 459 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000 Park has finally found gold on Smith Creek Hill. 460 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000 There's gold out there. 461 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000 And I'm willing to bet my next summer on this dig. 462 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,000 I mean, this could secure the future of the mine. 463 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:23,000 At Court's Creek in the Klandai, the Hoffman crew is running the 300 yards of frozen 464 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Peter Jack Scrape from Cut 3. 465 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000 It's their last chance to find 100 ounces of gold. 466 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000 A gold that will prove this crew as profitable miners. 467 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000 The basket is good, guys. 468 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000 Coming down to the wire. 469 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Hey, plants looking good. 470 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Got a few iceballs coming through. 471 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Not some two large yet. 472 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,000 That's tough. 473 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000 Keep an eye on our butt. 474 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000 Here you got it. 475 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:55,000 Safety officer Jimmy Thurber sees chunks of frozen ground in the dirt. 476 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000 That could cripple the wash plant. 477 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,000 But Todd still has 50 yards of cup 3-pater to run. 478 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000 If I pulled up, I found short on the sand. 479 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000 So everything. 480 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 I got to run everything. 481 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Iceballs, basketballs, dirt balls, they're all going in here. 482 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000 I don't want to have any regrets going to go home. 483 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Look at the size of that iceball. 484 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000 That's big. 485 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000 Coming up the end. 486 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Oh, no way. 487 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000 The ice chunks pass through. 488 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000 With any gold, still stuck inside. 489 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000 A lot of money right there in those iceball. 490 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Yeah. 491 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000 Yeah, I didn't take too many of these things to make it out. 492 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000 The last bug right here. 493 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,000 Shut it down. 494 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000 How's it look, Thurber? 495 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000 Every last grain of gold this season is in the wash plant's ripples. 496 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Hey, the beauty. 497 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Right there. 498 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000 That's gold. 499 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Lug it up. 500 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Wow. 501 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Oh, the cut 3 dirt just might hold enough gold to get the crew to their 100-ounce gold. 502 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000 That one's full. 503 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,000 That one's full. 504 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,000 That one's full. 505 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000 That one's full. 506 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000 That one's full. 507 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000 That one's full. 508 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000 That one. 509 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000 That one. 510 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000 That one. 511 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000 That one. 512 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000 There. 513 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000 There. 514 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000 All of there. 515 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000 There's gold in that one. 516 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Real heavy. 517 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000 I would say that this far down. 518 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000 That's the best we've seen so far. 519 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000 The Hoffman's need 18.5 ounces from this final cleanup. 520 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000 If they can get enough gold to actually make money, 521 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 these men will have finally proved themselves as gold miners. 522 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000 I'd really like to say 100 ounces. 523 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Ballinate everything that we've done here. 524 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000 I could hold my head high when I go home. 525 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000 Down in Alaska. 526 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000 The big nugget mine is shut down. 527 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,000 Three generations of shnubbles meet to decide the future of the mine. 528 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000 This is what we got off the pan this morning. 529 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000 It almost was. 530 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000 And then I went down below the jig. 531 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000 And that's what we got out of a little slew. 532 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000 That's pretty nice. 533 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 That's what you dug out in the hole. 534 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Yeah, a 45 minute test out of Smith Creek. 535 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000 That's really encouraging. 536 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Smith Creek will have bigger gold left. 537 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000 I'll be done. 538 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000 It's pretty impressive. 539 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000 They found the half ounce of gold. 540 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000 Worth nearly $1,000. 541 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000 55 feet down in Parker's test hole. 542 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:56,000 To get at the gold at deep, Parker will have to excavate thousands of yards of dirt on Smith Creek Hill. 543 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000 And he'll need a lot of money. 544 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Something Parker doesn't have. 545 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:06,000 I think that if he's going to mind Smith Creek, 546 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000 I would think that he needs at least front money, 547 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000 a minute of a hundred, preferably 150,000 bucks. 548 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Do we want to invest the money to get down even to that elevation? 549 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 To me, I do. 550 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000 I see two bigger risks, a two small reward. 551 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000 I understand your position. 552 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000 Do you have an opinion about that? 553 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000 Well, I don't care about the money, 554 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000 because I can't take it with me. 555 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000 Might as well spend it while I'm here. 556 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000 Are you saying you want to fund the mine next year? 557 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000 Well, really to give it a try. 558 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000 I'll fund it for 50% of the gold. 559 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000 We get all of it. 560 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,000 I'll take it. 561 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 It's been an uphill battle, 562 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,000 but Parker has proved there's gold at Smith Creek Hill. 563 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,000 Now he has his grandfather's support to continue hunting for the pastry, 564 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 with just days remaining in his first season as the boss. 565 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Parker managed to keep the big nugget mine in business. 566 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000 The U.S. federal government has a stock pile of over 8,000 tons of gold, 567 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000 worth more than $450 billion. 568 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,000 That is just under one ounce of gold for every man, woman, and child in America. 569 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000 At Porky Pine Creek in Southeast Alaska, 570 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,000 the Dakota boys run their clean-out trommel one last time. 571 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000 With their pump broken and de-rockers shut down, 572 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000 they load the last process dirt of the year. 573 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Here we go. 574 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000 Down, almost the last bucket. 575 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000 Hey, just run it down. 576 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Don't work lean out. 577 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000 Don't work trommel. 578 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,000 Don't want to lose boxes. 579 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 I asked in. 580 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000 Before their pump busted a seal, 581 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,000 the Dakota boys were convinced they were close to the Porky Pine Creek glory hole, 582 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000 and millions in gold. 583 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 That's really good. 584 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000 Really good. 585 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,000 Hey Fred. 586 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000 What do you think? 587 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000 Hey, hey, hey, hey. 588 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000 Very nice there, doesn't. 589 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,000 Just packed with gold. 590 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000 He's digging it right spot at the very end. 591 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000 The great material from the bottom of the pit is full of gold, 592 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000 but the question is how much? 593 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,000 Fred desperately needs to turn a real profit. 594 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Three months ago, he lost his home in North Dakota to floods. 595 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,000 Well, I'm spending most of my savings on this operation. 596 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000 After about 50 pounds, 597 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,000 basically we broke even this year. 598 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000 By a wind up with 75 ounces, 599 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,000 I'd be happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy. 600 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Now, here it goes. 601 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000 Gold folks. 602 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000 After four hours of panic, 603 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,000 they are finally ready to add the gold to their season's total. 604 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000 Are we ready for the mall in a crew? 605 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000 Right. 606 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Wow. 607 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000 80.4 ounces. 608 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Feel that. 609 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000 That's a lot of gold. 610 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000 Man. 611 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000 The final cleanup is 12.2 ounces. 612 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,000 The Dakota Boys Season Total is now 80.4 ounces, 613 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000 or 128,000 dollars. 614 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000 After their running costs, 615 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:01,000 they clear 30 ounces or 48,000 dollars. 616 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000 I really pushed myself to make sure that we did this right. 617 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000 Well, I appreciate it. 618 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000 I always have, maybe sometimes some days, 619 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000 I didn't say it. 620 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000 But I guarantee that I always felt it. 621 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Eight ounces of gold. 622 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000 Dustin gets 10% of the take. 623 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000 There you go. 624 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000 Thank you, Fred. 625 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000 All right. 626 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000 Hopefully we're told enough of this. 627 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000 And I appreciate it. 628 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,000 Thank you. 629 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 After a year plagued by breakdowns, 630 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000 the Dakota Boys managed to turn a profit 631 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000 in their first mining season at Porcupine Creek. 632 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 In the final days, 633 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000 they found their richest ground. 634 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,000 When you feed a yellow stuff coming out of that ground, 635 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000 that's the proof in the puddle. 636 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000 It's a... 637 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000 Forty-bond Great. 638 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000 600 miles north at Porcupine Creek. 639 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,000 Todd and Jack Hoffman are deep into their final clean-out of the season. 640 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Reaching their goal of 100 ounces, 641 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000 will mean this cruise first real payday. 642 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,000 To do it, they'll need their largest clean-out ever, 643 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000 18 and a half ounces. 644 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000 This is better concentrate than what we've had in the past. 645 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000 It's a lot better. 646 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,000 Right there. 647 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Yeah, it's about 25% roll. 648 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Oh, pretty thick band of gold. 649 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000 But I don't know if it had 18 and a half-thousand... 650 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000 Gosh, getting them come down to the wire. 651 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000 While Todd and Jack run the last scoops of concentrate 652 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000 through the gold table, 653 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000 the crew gathers ice blocks, 654 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000 the wash plant couldn't break down. 655 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Jim Thurber has a plan to extract every last flick of gold 656 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000 from the cut-three pay gravel. 657 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,000 It's a little crazy trying to melt it, 658 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000 but it's about the only way we're going to be able to tell. 659 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000 Stand back to it. 660 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,000 All right. 661 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000 Woo! 662 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000 Hi! 663 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000 It's a great idea, sir. 664 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,000 Definitely worth a couple hours of time 665 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000 to go through this, hopefully. 666 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000 It's going to help the total. 667 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000 That's why I didn't do that. 668 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000 It's really hot, steamy rock. 669 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000 It looks like getting the cereal. 670 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000 I mean, you think there'd be some in there. 671 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000 After torching, every ice block they can find, 672 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000 Thurber pans the steaming ground. 673 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000 Oh, my word. 674 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000 I can't believe what I'm looking at. 675 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000 That's dropped dead, fantastic. 676 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000 Back in the gold tin, Jack shuts down the machine. 677 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:53,000 Yeah, I want to see this one. 678 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000 There's a kip it up. 679 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000 And the gold from the torched ice blocks pays off. 680 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000 Well, there's about an ounce in here. 681 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,000 And I'm going to need it, I think. 682 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,000 Thurber's plan could have netted another $1,600. 683 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,000 Jack and Todd gathered a total up their gold one last time. 684 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000 You ready? 685 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000 Yep. 686 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000 If their last clean out is 18 and a half ounces or better, 687 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000 they'll reach their goal. 688 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000 With a hundred ounces of clandite gold, 689 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,000 these men can finally call themselves gold miners 690 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,000 after two long seasons. 691 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Jack, seven, nine. 692 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000 This is our final total. 693 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 I'll see you later. 694 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Right now, seven, eight, eight, eight, three, eight, four, eight, five. 695 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,000 Court's Creek, the clandite. 696 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Todd and Jack Hoffman are about to reveal their gold total to their crew. 697 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000 To make real money this season, 698 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,000 they need 18 and a half ounces from the last clean out 699 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000 to hit their 100 ounce gold. 700 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,000 It wasn't like we thought about 12 ounces. 701 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000 That was it. 702 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000 12 ounces? 703 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000 Yeah. 704 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Brings is up to 93. 705 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,000 You know, so we pulled up short. 706 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,000 But it's not going to be a shame to have. 707 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000 We aren't going home with our hands hanging or anything like that. 708 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000 You know, you could be proud of yourselves. 709 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000 I'm real happy with that. 710 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000 It represents a lot. 711 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000 You know, I know. 712 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000 I know we set that goal. 713 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000 The Huffman crew didn't hit their 100 ounce gold, 714 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000 but they have only failed by the standards they set themselves. 715 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,000 Turning a profit of $40,000 in just their second season 716 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,000 should still earn them the respect of the clandite gold miners. 717 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000 I'm happy with it, Jack. 718 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000 I'm proud of what we did. 719 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000 93 ounces. 720 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,000 That's a lot of gold. 721 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,000 I never thought I'd seen 93 ounces. 722 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000 I think we did good. 723 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000 That's awesome. 724 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000 A little bit of an increase over last year. 725 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Things could have been different. 726 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Things could have changed. 727 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000 Those were could have lasted one more day, 728 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000 but we gave it our best shot. 729 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000 But I wanted to get 100 ounces for you, Dad, 730 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,000 but it's a ball best we could do right now. 731 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,000 I want to think. 732 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000 I'm happy with it. 733 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000 You know, you guys are best friends. 734 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000 Anybody can watch. 735 00:38:41,000 -->

the Huffman crew has found $150,000 in gold. 739 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,000 Seven times more than their rookie season. 740 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000 At dawn the next day, Jack gives each man 741 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,000 his share of the gold. 742 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000 Hey, I have some things for you, guys. 743 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000 Little jars are really clean. 744

Huffman crew has battled the clondike for five months. 760 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000 They're going home with five ounces or $8,000. 761 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:52,000 It's the first real payday for these men in two long seasons. 762 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,000 They're no longer rookie miners. 763 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000 They're gold miners. 764 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000 This is my gold. 765 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,000 What I worked in Toilver. 766 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,000 And we've overcome a lot. 767 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,000 Hey, we got a roll, man. 768 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000 King. 769 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,000 They get some gold from Jack. 770 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000 They give this hold. 771 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000 They'll maybe next season we hit it big. 772 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,000 Well, we felt short of a gold that we set. 773 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:26,000 But I don't feel any shame in our 93 and a half ounces. 774 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000 With things freezing up, we could have done a lot worse. 775 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:33,000 We could have been 40 ounces short compared to a few. 776 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,000 Ready? 777 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000 There you go. 778 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000 We've gained some respect. 779 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000 We used some guys around here. 780 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000 That when we came in, they thought, you know, here comes the clowns. 781 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000 And we showed them that we can learn how to do things right. 782 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000 We're almost full time miners now. 783 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000 We now have gold. 784 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000 These guys are fighting a financial fight. 785 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000 But they actually are going home with enough 786 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,000 that they can make their payments at home. 787 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000 Nick here. 788 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000 We're win. 789 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000 We're going to win. 790 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,000 Good job, guys. 791 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000 We take some serious

to go home and prepare straight, kick, ass next to you. 799 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:58,000 Because I'm going to get 1,000 ounces from season three. 800 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,000 Okay. 801
