1
00:00:01,802 --> 00:00:05,838
We have 9,600 feet
        of flooded cave,

2
00:00:05,873 --> 00:00:08,207
     but we still don't have
       a good entry point.

3
00:00:10,044 --> 00:00:12,011
            If we can
      get into that cavern,

4
00:00:12,046 --> 00:00:15,180
    eric thinks we will find
         precious metal.

5
00:00:15,216 --> 00:00:17,750
          You see that?
      That's natural gold.

6
00:00:18,919 --> 00:00:20,886
        But we're looking
      for buried treasure.

7
00:00:24,091 --> 00:00:26,358
        Says right here,
          "pure gold."

8
00:00:26,394 --> 00:00:28,127
          this is where
         it gets dicey.

9
00:00:28,162 --> 00:00:29,728
          That's as far
          as I can go.

10
00:00:29,764 --> 00:00:34,400
The ranch is part of
    the most famous treasure
 hunt that's never been solved.

11
00:00:34,435 --> 00:00:37,069
       [charlie] is there
       any mining clients
      on blind frog ranch?

12
00:00:37,104 --> 00:00:39,038
       [woman] there are.

13

            -[yells]

30
00:01:35,629 --> 00:01:37,663
        so, charlie boy,
        you're telling me

31
00:01:37,698 --> 00:01:41,066
     that there was a rhodes
       claim down here on
    this end of the property?

32
00:01:41,102 --> 00:01:42,701
           -Two. Two.
              -Two?

33
00:01:43,771 --> 00:01:46,572
   But now the name "rhodes",

34
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:49,608
       you know, it's the
       same as the legend

35
00:01:49,643 --> 00:01:52,010
of the lost rhodes mines.

36
00:01:52,046 --> 00:01:54,780
   That can't be a coincidence
    if he comes to this spot

37
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:58,217
    and lost rhodes, I mean,
  it has to be the same rhodes.

38
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:01,820
          These are all
       mormon gold pieces

39
00:02:01,856 --> 00:02:03,455
   from the lost rhodes mine.

40
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:07,392
      Your ranch is likely
             one of

41
00:02:07,428 --> 00:02:11,096
    the sacred story caverns.

42
00:02:11,132 --> 00:02:14,833
 Your ranch is part of the most
      famous treasure hunt
    that's never been solved.

43
00:02:16,871 --> 00:02:21,140
    It's significant because
   usually legends are founded
         on some truth.

44
00:02:21,175 --> 00:02:24,009
This is good stuff.
    I mean, very interesting.

45
00:02:26,247 --> 00:02:28,914
        <i> The story being</i>
         <i> that in 1519</i>

46
00:02:28,949 --> 00:02:31,850
        <i> the aztec king</i>
     <i> sent 10,000 men north</i>

47
00:02:31,886 --> 00:02:34,820
           <i> with gold</i>
   <i> to start the new colony.</i>

48
00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:39,358
 <i> They came all the way to utah</i>
   <i> and met with their cousin</i>
       <i> tribe, the utes.</i>

49
00:02:39,393 --> 00:02:43,529
     <i> The utes say they had</i>
       <i> the gold in caves</i>
        <i> to protect it.</i>

50
00:02:43,564 --> 00:02:46,965
<i> And then, hundreds of years</i>
     <i> ago, the mormons came</i>
     <i> to this part of utah</i>

51
00:02:47,034 --> 00:02:50,135
   <i> and be-friended the utes,</i>
        <i> who had no use</i>
        <i> for this gold.</i>

52
00:02:50,171 --> 00:02:52,337
     <i> But the mormons did.</i>

53
00:02:52,373 --> 00:02:56,675
  <i> Supposedly, they entrusted</i>
   <i> one man with the location</i>
      <i> of the aztec gold,</i>

54
00:02:57,411 --> 00:02:59,478
        <i> thomas rhodes.</i>

55
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:02,814
  <i> Suddenly, the poor farmers</i>
      <i> had more gold than</i>
     <i> anyone in the world.</i>

56
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:07,286
And it came from somewhere
       in these mountains.

57
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:12,391
    Now we know that someone
      by the name of rhodes
       was on the property

58
00:03:12,426 --> 00:03:14,159
      filing mining claims.

59
00:03:14,195 --> 00:03:16,528
       -Last name is same.
 -It's spelled the same, right?

60
00:03:16,597 --> 00:03:17,563
        Yeah, absolutely.

61
00:03:17,598 --> 00:03:19,164
    Probably the same family.

62
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,201
     You don't file a claim
    if there's nothing there.

63
00:03:22,236 --> 00:03:24,203
  Yeah, you better believe it.

64
00:03:24,238 --> 00:03:26,038
      It's just intriguing

65
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:28,207
        and you can't get
          enough of it.

66
00:03:28,242 --> 00:03:31,476
           It's good.
This very well could be

67
00:03:31,512 --> 00:03:34,079
      the place where this
       treasure is buried.

68
00:03:37,518 --> 00:03:41,086
    You know, I'm not used to
       chasing treasures,

69
00:03:41,155 --> 00:03:43,388
            you know,
        it's not my deal.
       Normally, I just...

70
00:03:43,424 --> 00:03:45,490
       I go out and I find
        natural minerals.

71
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:48,060
           <i> However,</i>

72
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:50,729
     <i> there's so many clues</i>
   <i> leading to this treasure</i>

73
00:03:50,764 --> 00:03:52,264
       <i> that I just can't</i>
         <i> ignore that.</i>

74
00:03:54,835 --> 00:03:57,703
   So, I'm committed to doing
whatever's necessary

75
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:59,605
          to help duane
       find this treasure.

76
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:03,675
      It's all kinda coming
     together on this deal.

77
00:04:04,478 --> 00:04:05,844
              Yeah.

78
00:04:14,255 --> 00:04:15,754
    Let's try this way here.

79
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:19,458
           Let's see.

80
00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:21,059
        <i> So we know that</i>
       <i> the rhodes family</i>

81
00:04:21,095 --> 00:04:23,629
  <i> actually had a mining claim</i>
     <i> here on the property.</i>

82
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:28,033
     That's the same rhodes
 that was pulling bags and bags
   of gold out of the cavern.

83
00:04:28,068 --> 00:04:30,235
       <i> We've got a giant</i>
<i> box of something</i>

84
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:32,504
     <i> in the flooded parts</i>
        <i> of the caverns.</i>

85
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:35,807
  <i> So that could be the source</i>
   <i> of the lost rhodes gold.</i>

86
00:04:37,077 --> 00:04:39,311
   <i> Now we just need to find</i>
      <i> an entrance to it.</i>

87
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:45,284
      We were right in this
         wide area here.

88
00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:47,286
         You see there's
       a lack of education

89
00:04:47,321 --> 00:04:50,289
   and that's the white rocks
       that we're standing
         on right here.

90
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:52,891
     Satellite images often
don't tell the whole story.

91
00:04:52,926 --> 00:04:55,060
  Because there are subtleties
        in rock formation

92
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:57,629
     that you just can't see
           from space.

93
00:04:57,665 --> 00:05:00,766
          If satellites
      could see everything
      I'd be out of a job.

94
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:02,334
  <i> If you can read the rocks,</i>

95
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:04,202
        <i> and know where</i>
        <i> they're going,</i>

96
00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:07,739
   <i> then you can often times</i>
    <i> interpret them to make,</i>
       <i> maybe a big find.</i>

97
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:10,575
    <i> It's what I love to do.</i>

98
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:21,920
<i> That strike in dip</i>
     <i> is vastly different.</i>

99
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:26,992
    <i> I see that we have some</i>
 <i> faulting going on right here.</i>

100
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:30,395
      <i> But I don't see it</i>
       <i> on the map here.</i>

101
00:05:34,735 --> 00:05:36,535
    That is very interesting.

102
00:05:43,544 --> 00:05:46,278
     Now we can just park it
        right up in here.

103
00:05:46,313 --> 00:05:48,180
          -Right here?
             -Yeah.

104
00:05:48,215 --> 00:05:49,781
          That's good.

105
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:04,996
       The reason I really
         like this spot

106
00:06:05,032 --> 00:06:06,965
         is can you see
    that outcrop right there?

107
00:06:08,268 --> 00:06:10,102
I think that's
       an unmapped fault.

108
00:06:10,137 --> 00:06:13,939
      And so, that happens
      to go right across to
     your tunnel site, too.

109
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:15,807
          -Oh, really?
             -Yeah.

110
00:06:15,843 --> 00:06:18,610
    It looks like there'd be
        space under that,
   as much as it's pushed up.

111
00:06:18,645 --> 00:06:20,245
      It makes total sense.

112
00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,281
   We'll go in, if we can get
     maybe 50 feet vertical?

113
00:06:23,317 --> 00:06:25,083
             -Okay.
     -Can you guys do that?

114
00:06:25,119 --> 00:06:27,252
           -Oh, yeah.
  -Yeah, we'll get the drills.

115
00:06:27,287 --> 00:06:28,987
       -And meet you here.
-Let's make it happen.

116
00:06:29,022 --> 00:06:32,257
  -You're gonna drive it down?
          -Yeah, yeah.

         <i> Geologically,</i>
  <i> caverns are known to exist</i>

   weak portions of the crust.

119
00:06:38,632 --> 00:06:41,500
      And for some reason,
       the features we're
      seeing at the surface

120
00:06:41,535 --> 00:06:43,668

     on my topographic map.

121
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:48,707
      This could lead us to
    the entrance of the lost
          ruins of ...

122

[chad]<i> so, the boring machine</i>

    It's kinda fun, isn't it?

253
00:16:49,676 --> 00:16:52,844
  -It's pretty slick, isn't it?
    -Yeah, it is. Good deal.

254
00:16:58,118 --> 00:17:01,552
     -It's like calibrated.
        -[device whining]

255
00:17:01,588 --> 00:17:04,255
          drag it back
        over here, tony.

256
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:11,529
   I don't see why the antenna
   would react this strongly.

257
00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:16,467
There's something highly
     reflective right there.

258
00:17:16,503 --> 00:17:19,771
       Something blocking
    the signal from the top.

259
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:23,474
       -Something buried?
    -Yeah, something buried.

260
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:26,277
      But it's kinda coming
  through the surface as well.

261
00:17:27,914 --> 00:17:30,348
   Something highly reflective
      over in that corner.

262
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:38,322
  I've never seen that before.
      I've never seen data
  that looks like that before.

263
00:17:38,358 --> 00:17:40,091
          It disappear?
          What'd it do?

264
00:17:40,126 --> 00:17:43,361
          The data just
      like really blew out.

265
00:17:45,365 --> 00:17:50,034
There was something
      unusual interrupting
         the radar waves

266
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:53,137
   that I would expect to see
        maybe in a city,

267
00:17:53,173 --> 00:17:57,375
     where I was around some
         sort of, like,
    an electrical substation

268
00:17:57,410 --> 00:17:59,377
       or there was a lot
    of interference going on,

269
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:01,712
        but way out here
    in the middle of nowhere,

270
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:05,383
    I wouldn't expect to see
      anything interfering.

271
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:07,218
  Something highly reflective.

272
00:18:07,253 --> 00:18:10,088
     Not a sandstone bedrock
    that you see right here.

273
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:16,627
I'd like to look at the data
  and see what that looks like.

274
00:18:16,663 --> 00:18:19,430
         But right now,
        I don't know why
        it would do that.

275
00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:35,012
  Drag it back over here, tony.

276
00:18:37,417 --> 00:18:39,917
       [detector beeping]

277
00:18:39,953 --> 00:18:43,521
   something highly reflective
      over in that corner.

278
00:18:43,556 --> 00:18:46,591
     Not a sandstone bedrock
    that you see right here.

279
00:18:49,195 --> 00:18:53,197
  I'd like to look at the data
  and see what that looks like.

280
00:18:54,434 --> 00:18:56,100
          I don't know
      why it would do that.

281
00:18:57,837 --> 00:18:59,570
        Side of the pit.

282
00:18:59,605 --> 00:19:01,873
          -Yeah, yeah.
-Hey, tony.

283
00:19:01,908 --> 00:19:04,375
           -Hey, guys.
         -How you doing?
      Got some data there?

284
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,277
              Yeah.

285
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:11,949
      This is the data here
   and this are in particular,

286
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,752
        it's really high
     amplitude reflections.

287
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:19,056
       It doesn't continue
      across the whole pit

288
00:19:19,092 --> 00:19:22,627
     but it does continue on
   about 10 or 12 feet there.

289
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:28,366
     The reflection on that
 doesn't look like a void to me

290
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:30,801
         and it doesn't
       look like moisture.

291
00:19:32,105 --> 00:19:34,305
          It looks like
there's a steel plate

292
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:36,340
       getting in the way
      of the signal there.

293
00:19:38,578 --> 00:19:42,313
        Whatever that is
     goes on for four feet.

294
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:44,382
          Interesting.
        Very interesting.

295
00:19:44,417 --> 00:19:46,918
       I don't really have
      a way to explain that

296
00:19:46,953 --> 00:19:49,720
    unless there is something
       buried under there.

297
00:19:49,756 --> 00:19:52,723
   There's certainly something
     that looked different.

298
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:55,760
         To me, this is
     very good information.
           Very good.

299
00:19:57,597 --> 00:20:01,399
       As soon as he said
there's a metal plate about
   four foot under the ground,

300
00:20:01,434 --> 00:20:03,401
        I thought, "hell,
        maybe it's gold."

301
00:20:04,404 --> 00:20:06,404
           we might be
       right on top of it.

302
00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:12,476
    Maybe what's hidden here
      is a big, wooden box
          full of gold.

303
00:20:12,512 --> 00:20:16,013
       So I'm gonna bring
      the track ho up here
   and get it to the surface.

304
00:20:21,754 --> 00:20:24,722
  You're down about five feet.
         Coming right up
     against the dead rock.

305
00:20:24,757 --> 00:20:30,161
      No plates or anything
  that that ground penetrating
radar was kicking out.

306
00:20:30,196 --> 00:20:33,497
        Yeah, copy that.
    I haven't seen anything,
       any metal objects.

307
00:20:33,533 --> 00:20:35,866
 Haven't seen anything strange.

308
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:39,203
        Hey, let eric run
     his detector over that.

309
00:20:39,239 --> 00:20:41,739
            Ten-four.

310
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:44,108
        That's doing it,
         that one spot.

311
00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:56,487
            Anything?

312
00:20:56,522 --> 00:21:00,057
         Just, you know,
  very faint little background
        noise, nothing...

313
00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:03,361
             -Yeah.
        -By now I've seen
   some weird things out here.

314
00:21:03,396 --> 00:21:05,663
     But I really don't get
how we can see something

315
00:21:05,698 --> 00:21:08,432
       that shows up like
        a chunk of metal
           on the gpr

316
00:21:08,468 --> 00:21:10,534
        but when we dig,
     there's nothing there.

317
00:21:10,570 --> 00:21:13,137
     I was hoping this thing
      would just light up.

318
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:15,239
          I just can't
    wrap my head around that.

319
00:21:16,643 --> 00:21:20,044
  -I think we can backfill now
      if you're satisfied.
           -Copy that.

320
00:21:38,064 --> 00:21:42,600
   Charlie, is that our drone
      up there by that tree
      up there by the door?

321
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:45,303
           Is that our
       camera guy's drone?

322
00:21:45,338 --> 00:21:47,104
Let me check with him quick.

323
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:49,607
       I don't think they
        have anything up
      but let me find out.

324
00:21:49,642 --> 00:21:52,643
       If it's not theirs,
      somebody's damn sure
          watching us.

325
00:21:52,679 --> 00:21:55,680
      -Is that one of your
        drones up there?
      <i> -They're watching.</i>

326
00:21:55,715 --> 00:21:58,149
      <i> I'll finish filling</i>
         <i> this hole up.</i>

327
00:21:58,184 --> 00:22:03,054
    <i> They're saying negative</i>
    <i> on theirs, they do not</i>
         <i> have a drone.</i>

328
00:22:03,089 --> 00:22:06,924
   <i> Somebody thinks they need</i>
<i> to be watching this project</i>
 <i> while we're trying to do it.</i>

329
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:11,962
         Anybody that is
         that interested

330
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:14,732
        that means we're
     doing something right.

331
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:21,038
       Oh, they're kind of
    hiding out now, ain't it?

332
00:22:21,074 --> 00:22:23,574
  [producer] he's bailing out.
    Here, here, set it down.

333
00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:26,043
 I'm gonna launch it right now.
  Just take your hands off it.

334
00:22:32,051 --> 00:22:34,985
   Hold on. There's something
   wrong with the controller.

335
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:38,622
         I'm losing it.
        I'm losing it...

336
00:22:38,658 --> 00:22:40,891
I can't...
  The controller's all [bleep].

337
00:22:56,142 --> 00:22:59,076
        Duane! Somebody's
        on your property!

338
00:22:59,112 --> 00:23:01,345
          Ridin' around
       on a four-wheeler.

339
00:23:04,283 --> 00:23:06,751
      I don't know how far
        those drones go,

340
00:23:06,786 --> 00:23:10,921
   or where the communication
        to that drone is.

341
00:23:10,957 --> 00:23:14,425
    But we're used to people
     nosing around out here
          all the time.

342
00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:17,361
    It doesn't slow us down.

343
00:23:17,397 --> 00:23:21,832
          But it leads
     to people trespassing.

344
00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:24,702
          And they do,
     they most certainly do.

345
00:23:26,873 --> 00:23:29,106
Is that gold
     around your neck there?

346
00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:31,108
        Maybe you'll find
   some of that spanish gold.

347
00:23:31,144 --> 00:23:32,910
   Them gold mines up in here.

348
00:23:32,945 --> 00:23:34,011
        There's no mine.

349
00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:36,580
   -There's no mining shafts?
              -No.

350
00:23:36,616 --> 00:23:39,984
  -What about over by that bus?
              -No.

351
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:43,788
  What is it I can do for you?
        'cause we're busy
       working right now.

352
00:23:43,823 --> 00:23:46,957
    I have a grazing permit,
            you know,

353
00:23:46,993 --> 00:23:49,760
   but there's no cross fence
     for me to isolate them.

354
00:23:49,796 --> 00:23:52,029
           -Wide open?
-Wide open, the whole thing.

355
00:23:53,699 --> 00:23:56,400
      Four pair never come
      outta here last year.

356
00:23:56,436 --> 00:23:58,669
         They fell down
      a shaft or something.

357
00:23:58,704 --> 00:24:01,839
      Eight head of cattle
         never come out.

358
00:24:01,874 --> 00:24:04,909
     Can I see what the cows
     are coming up against?

359
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,877
  I don't know where they are.

360
00:24:06,913 --> 00:24:09,814
        Here's the deal.
        I can assure you
        there's no shafts

361
00:24:09,849 --> 00:24:12,249
       to be talking about
           like that.

362
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:18,088
     Do you want me to talk
       to the blm ranger?

363
00:24:18,124 --> 00:24:21,158
-I don't know what to do.
     -Well, you're more than
     welcome to talk to him

364
00:24:21,194 --> 00:24:25,296
  but this is private property.
       You know, what's he
        gonna do for you?

365
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:30,768
         He said he lost
      some cows in a hole.

366
00:24:32,038 --> 00:24:34,805
     The thing is, all these
      ranches around here,

367
00:24:34,841 --> 00:24:38,375
        they're sneaking
         on the property
     to see what's going on.

368
00:24:38,411 --> 00:24:42,413
           [producer]
  do you think the cattle thing
  might've just been an excuse?

369
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:45,816
       In texas, in you're
down wind and something
      smells like a skunk,

370
00:24:45,852 --> 00:24:48,586
       and looks like one
      it's a [bleep] skunk.

371
00:24:49,422 --> 00:24:50,888
      What's all these guys
           doing here?

372
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:52,256
   We gonna be on tv or what?

373
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:54,859
   [duane] I don't have a clue
       about any of that.

374
00:24:56,395 --> 00:24:58,362
        [camera clicking]

375
00:25:00,867 --> 00:25:03,534
       you know you're on
        private property.

376
00:25:03,569 --> 00:25:06,737
        Where's the line?
    Right there? I can stand
       right there? Okay.

377
00:25:06,772 --> 00:25:09,707
          -So, you need
    to erase those pictures.
-Erase them?

378
00:25:09,742 --> 00:25:11,609
     But you haven't told me
   what these guys are doing.

379
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:14,745
    Please let us get along.
         But erase them.

380
00:25:14,780 --> 00:25:16,614
   I'll get off your property.

381
00:25:16,649 --> 00:25:18,682
  Can you erase those pictures?

382
00:25:21,087 --> 00:25:24,755
   We don't play those games.
    I don't play those games.

383
00:25:30,463 --> 00:25:33,230
   It's very important for us
    to protect this project.

384
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:35,032
      I mean, we don't want
      anybody to get hurt,

385
00:25:35,067 --> 00:25:37,034
     we don't want equipment
        to get messed up.

386
00:25:37,069 --> 00:25:41,839
      They wouldn't like it
if I drove into their house
   and parked in their garage.

387
00:26:02,061 --> 00:26:05,129
      I put game cameras up
         to try to catch
       whatever predators

388
00:26:05,164 --> 00:26:07,131
    were killing those deer.

389
00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:09,767
       But now, we've got
  trespassers on the property.

390
00:26:09,802 --> 00:26:13,637
      So I've gotta rethink
 the positioning of the cameras
          and possibly,

391
00:26:13,673 --> 00:26:15,839
      adding other cameras
     in different locations.

392
00:26:20,146 --> 00:26:23,113
   It will be miles to come in
     from the eastern side,

393
00:26:23,149 --> 00:26:25,649
       so the access point
     is gonna be right here.

394
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:29,486
You might even call it
     a choke point, I guess.

395
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:41,532
    They're fascinated about
     this property out here.

396
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:45,269
     We probably have a lot
      of comparisons to the
   skinwalker ranch over there

397
00:26:45,304 --> 00:26:47,104
      'cause we're so close
            to them.

398
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:49,840
       The type of people
        that are gonna be
       coming through here

399
00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:53,043
      especially at night,
   are gonna be up to no good.

400
00:26:55,581 --> 00:27:00,117
  There's been too many decades
     of strange occurrences,
        things happening,

401
00:27:00,152 --> 00:27:03,387
investigations on-going
           constantly.

402
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:07,391
       So there's a lot of
         folklore to it.

403
00:27:10,997 --> 00:27:13,564
        It's gonna bring
      some people out here.

404
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:16,333
            You know,
       the curious people.

405
00:27:16,369 --> 00:27:19,269
     But you just can't have
   people just walking around.

406
00:27:29,882 --> 00:27:32,516
    Got a good digital image
            at night.

407
00:27:32,551 --> 00:27:34,485
       I really like that.

408
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,832
         [producer] uh,
         what do we do?

409
00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:50,701
     Just gotta be vigilant.

410
00:27:52,204 --> 00:27:54,371
    We are the prey out here
            at night.

411
00:27:54,407 --> 00:27:56,373
We're not the hunter,
         we're the prey.

412
00:28:05,451 --> 00:28:08,719
      Look, I'm from texas
       and I'm no [bleep].

413
00:28:08,754 --> 00:28:11,722
    But this land right here
        is like something
        I've never seen.

414
00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:15,793
     <i> Electronics go crazy.</i>

415
00:28:15,828 --> 00:28:18,562
       -[detector beeping]
  -I've never seen that before.

416

     [duane]<i> strange things</i>
     <i> happen to equipment.</i>

        -We've had issues
       with aerial drones.

418
00:28:26,706 --> 00:28:30,874
     I know that this sounds
crazier than the cat
      got into the whiskey,

419
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:32,943
   but this whole deal's true.

420
00:28:32,978 --> 00:28:35,446
     There's an energy here
     that's just different.

421
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:37,715
       And I can prove it.

422
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:43,687
           Even though
      you might not see it,
    it's always here. Always.

423
00:28:43,723 --> 00:28:46,290
      It drains batteries,
  it does all kinds of [bleep].

424
00:28:46,325 --> 00:28:49,727
  Yeah. Well, the biggest deal
  is it made metal out of dirt.

425
00:28:49,762 --> 00:28:52,362
     This metal right here.

426
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:55,032
   I noticed you looked like,
        "he's a dumbass."

427
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,367
         [all laughing]

428
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:59,536
regardless, it made
       metal out of dirt.

429
00:28:59,572 --> 00:29:02,806
      We've had scientists
     come in with all these
        dadgum detectors

430
00:29:02,842 --> 00:29:04,575
          and the whole
        nine yards setup,

431
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:06,910
      their million-dollar
       worth of equipment.

432
00:29:06,946 --> 00:29:09,780
        And they'll test
         the dirt there,

433
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:12,149
        we'll heat it up
      in that energy zone,

434
00:29:12,184 --> 00:29:13,684
         it makes metal.

435
00:29:13,719 --> 00:29:16,353
        They look at it,
       they load all their
       stuff up and leave.

436
00:29:17,890 --> 00:29:21,325
      Because it's against
the theory of how
          it all works.

437
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,661
         If I told eric
     everything that we know
      about on this project

438
00:29:24,697 --> 00:29:26,997
   and what has happened here
       right at the front,

439
00:29:27,032 --> 00:29:29,433
       I think he would've
      packed his [bleep] up
            and left.

440
00:29:29,468 --> 00:29:31,802
       But he's a big boy,
    I think he can handle it.

441
00:29:31,837 --> 00:29:33,303
        I wanna see this.

442
00:29:33,339 --> 00:29:35,672
    -Can we do that tonight?
        -Well, let's go.

443
00:29:39,044 --> 00:29:41,812
    -Two ounces or two grams?
           -Two grams.

444
00:29:41,847 --> 00:29:45,816
You can walk in there
       and it'll give your
       whole body a buzz.

445
00:29:45,851 --> 00:29:47,818
    <i> Something's kicking out</i>
       <i> a lot of energy.</i>

446
00:29:47,853 --> 00:29:51,088
     <i> It's hard to believe</i>
      <i> or hard to explain</i>
      <i> what goes on here,</i>

447
00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:54,691
        <i> and whoever has</i>
      <i> not experienced it</i>
    <i> just don't believe it.</i>

448
00:29:54,727 --> 00:29:57,027
  <i> We call it the energy zone.</i>

449
00:29:57,062 --> 00:30:00,097
       <i> A few years ago,</i>
       <i> I had a crucible</i>
<i> and it was dirty inside,</i>

450
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:02,399
        so I just took it
    and hit it on the truck.

451
00:30:02,434 --> 00:30:04,635
       And lo and behold,
   a piece of metal fell out.

452
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:09,406
      What we found out is
          you can just
        get regular dirt,

453
00:30:09,441 --> 00:30:11,508
        it doesn't matter
        where it's from.

454
00:30:11,544 --> 00:30:14,077
       As long as it's in
     that energy zone there,

455
00:30:14,113 --> 00:30:16,246
       you cook that dirt

456
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:19,249
       and you'll pour out
       the prettiest metal
        you've ever seen.

457
00:30:19,285 --> 00:30:22,452
   Don't shoot the messenger.
I'm just saying
     that's what's happened.

458
00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:27,758
   I watched the whole process
  from collecting the sample...

459
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:29,259
      That should be good.

460
00:30:29,295 --> 00:30:31,528
       ...To sieving it...

461
00:30:31,564 --> 00:30:33,130
          There you go.

462
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:36,466
        ...To putting it
         in the crucible
       and heating it up.

463
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:39,770
      I watched every step
         along the way.

464
00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:43,907
      I would expect to see
   maybe a glass bead come out

465
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:47,611
    because the sample itself
       is like a dioxide.

466
00:30:47,646 --> 00:30:49,179
           It's sand.

467
00:30:49,215 --> 00:30:51,615
If there's a metal nugget
     that comes out of that

468
00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:54,518
        I'm gonna have to
       rethink everything.

469
00:30:56,622 --> 00:30:58,889
     All right, we're ready
      to pour this bad boy.

470
00:31:00,392 --> 00:31:02,359
         That's one hot
         son of a budge.

471
00:31:03,863 --> 00:31:05,729
    Makes a v just like this.

472
00:31:05,764 --> 00:31:08,031
           -That's how
     the hillbillies do it.
           -[chuckles]

473
00:31:09,668 --> 00:31:11,468
     I've read all kinds of
      books about alchemy,

474
00:31:11,503 --> 00:31:14,538
  and that's what comes to mind
    when this process occurs.

475
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:18,408
       In the middle ages,
some people thought that

476
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:21,311
     you could change matter
      into something else.

477
00:31:21,347 --> 00:31:23,814
      They actually thought
      that they're missing
          an ingredient

478
00:31:23,849 --> 00:31:25,649
         and that's why
        it never worked.

479
00:31:25,684 --> 00:31:29,019
      But what if they were
 just missing the energy field?

480
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:30,754
            That was
     the missing ingredient.

481
00:31:40,065 --> 00:31:41,932
          There you go.

482
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:46,436
           [chuckles]

483
00:31:47,339 --> 00:31:50,407
         question is...
      I just don't know...

484
00:31:50,442 --> 00:31:52,843
      I shouldn't say that.
           I'm not...

485
00:31:57,216 --> 00:31:59,483
[chuckles] it's crazy.

486
00:31:59,518 --> 00:32:01,785
    You know, it just, um...

487
00:32:03,656 --> 00:32:06,590
      -Very [bleep] weird.
         -[all laughing]

488
00:32:10,629 --> 00:32:12,629
           I don't see
      how that can happen.

489
00:32:51,737 --> 00:32:55,205
       So, what I'm seeing
       is a bluish color.

490
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,241
           I can't say
       that they're flakes
      but it's reflecting.

491
00:32:59,845 --> 00:33:01,778
          This morning,
   we're looking at the sample

492
00:33:01,847 --> 00:33:04,147
       that was processed
     in this "energy zone".

493
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:08,652
        So the next step
      I'd like to do is do
        few tests on it.

494
00:33:08,687 --> 00:33:11,054
This is a real sophisticated
       piece of equipment.

495
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:17,794
     Just put them in there
    and then crush out more.

496
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:20,464
          I'm thinking,
        how can I either
        disprove or prove

497
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:22,766
       this energy field's
         melting metal?

498
00:33:22,801 --> 00:33:24,568
   Oh, this is gonna be good.

499
00:33:26,138 --> 00:33:29,673
   I still doubt the process.
        I have to because
        I'm a scientist.

500
00:33:31,643 --> 00:33:33,810
   But there's a question mark
           in my mind.

501
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:38,348
     -I think that's a good
     representative sample.
-Okay.

502
00:33:39,551 --> 00:33:41,818
      Based on the material
        that we smelted,

503
00:33:41,854 --> 00:33:44,488
   what I was expecting to see
      was basically glass.

504
00:33:46,091 --> 00:33:48,325
    But that wasn't the case.

505
00:33:50,062 --> 00:33:51,862
              -Ooh.
         -[wind blowing]

506
00:33:54,733 --> 00:33:56,500
           wind always
        puts me on edge.

507
00:34:13,052 --> 00:34:15,252
     So what I'm seeing here

508
00:34:15,287 --> 00:34:17,888
       is like, individual
       particles of metal.

509
00:34:18,991 --> 00:34:20,891
         That is weird.

510
00:34:22,961 --> 00:34:25,128
       I'd like to retain
          this sample.

511
00:34:25,164 --> 00:34:26,963
         Because this is
         pretty amazing.

512
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:31,168
Having a sample
        that doesn't show
            any metal

513
00:34:31,203 --> 00:34:32,903
       and yet you have to
           resmelt it,

514
00:34:34,106 --> 00:34:36,073
       it's showing metal.

515
00:34:37,476 --> 00:34:39,676
       It's very strange.

516
00:34:39,711 --> 00:34:41,745
     This is all, you know,

517
00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:43,880
         all stuff that
     I'm trying to process.

518
00:34:43,916 --> 00:34:46,416
          -Sure, sure.
  -It's completely new for me.

519
00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:49,252
       -Let's get the gun
          and shoot it.
             -Okay.

520
00:34:51,557 --> 00:34:57,027
    The xrf that uses x-ray.
      Each element reflects
           the x-ray.

521
00:34:57,062 --> 00:35:00,363
And then it reads out
      what it is on there.

522
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:03,567
     So, this xrf technology
      will tell us exactly
         what the metal

523
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:06,603
       that seems to have
       magically appeared
      is actually made of.

524
00:35:08,273 --> 00:35:09,940
             [beeps]

525
00:35:11,677 --> 00:35:13,643
        oh, that's weird.

526
00:35:15,514 --> 00:35:17,314
    That is very interesting.

527
00:35:21,553 --> 00:35:23,453
    Got some anomalies here.

528
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,190
      I've gotta show this
            to duane.

529
00:35:36,034 --> 00:35:40,003
       What do people know
     about this property and
      the surrounding area?

530
00:35:40,038 --> 00:35:42,339
         A lot of people
just laugh it off.

531
00:35:42,374 --> 00:35:45,175
      Duane told me he was
  finding these energy fields.

532
00:35:45,210 --> 00:35:47,744
    Well, if that's the case,
       duane, let's talk,

533
00:35:47,779 --> 00:35:49,679
     show me some pictures,
         show me stuff.

534
00:35:49,715 --> 00:35:53,083
      So when I get up here
        and actually seen
       what he was doing,

535
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,386
  starting to melt this metal,

536
00:35:56,421 --> 00:35:59,789
         no, it's sand,
        into this special
         kind of metal,

537
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,794
     that convinced me that
         this may not be

538
00:36:05,831 --> 00:36:07,430
             a joke.

539
00:36:07,466 --> 00:36:10,333
Duane is a very serious guy
    and he don't play around.

540
00:36:22,748 --> 00:36:24,481
    That is very interesting.

541
00:36:25,984 --> 00:36:27,717
           I've gotta
       show this to duane.

542
00:36:31,623 --> 00:36:33,523
      When I first got here
    the guys were interested

543
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:37,027
         in looking for
       naturally-occurring
         precious metal.

544
00:36:37,062 --> 00:36:39,262
       Then we discovered
         there might be
      significant treasure

545
00:36:39,298 --> 00:36:41,097
     hidden on the property.

546
00:36:41,133 --> 00:36:43,633
      And then, they go to
   making metals out of sand.

547
00:36:46,772 --> 00:36:48,405
    There's an anomaly here.

548
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,007
And this alchemy business
       could be worth more

549
00:36:51,043 --> 00:36:53,310
      than the natural gold
         in the ground.

550
00:36:55,047 --> 00:36:56,913
           It's weird.

551
00:36:56,948 --> 00:36:59,316
          Makes for an
      interesting project,
        that's for sure.

552
00:37:07,626 --> 00:37:10,827
          Duane, we got
        some results back
   from the smelting project.

553
00:37:10,862 --> 00:37:14,264
     It is very significant,
    I'll just tell you that.

554
00:37:14,299 --> 00:37:16,600
     So, we took the sample
     that we melted, right,

555
00:37:16,635 --> 00:37:18,702
      and for some reason,

556
00:37:19,771 --> 00:37:22,772
      after you melted it,
        silver showed up.

557
00:37:23,842 --> 00:37:26,843
And I can't explain that.

558
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:29,746
        So I don't really
       believe in alchemy
    because I'm a scientist.

559
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:31,748
         I'm not calling
          this alchemy.

560
00:37:31,783 --> 00:37:33,950
         But who knows,
          maybe there's
         something here.

561
00:37:33,986 --> 00:37:36,253
        And so I came up
         with a strategy

562
00:37:36,288 --> 00:37:38,421
   to validate those results.

563
00:37:38,457 --> 00:37:41,691
           It involves
     12 different locations,
        random sampling,

564
00:37:41,727 --> 00:37:44,961
     sending them to a lab,
    analyzing them by mass...

565
00:37:44,997 --> 00:37:46,796
       [voice fading out]

566
00:37:48,166 --> 00:37:50,767
an ounce of gold
         is 1,800 bucks.

567
00:37:52,204 --> 00:37:54,337
          Silver's $20.

568
00:37:55,941 --> 00:38:00,343
    It's not that I'm opposed
   to making money be smelting
    metal in the energy zone.

569
00:38:00,379 --> 00:38:04,414
   Those dollars could help us
         to move forward
       in the real search.

570
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:06,816
           But silver,
          $24 an ounce

571
00:38:06,852 --> 00:38:10,553
    just ain't worth the time
        and the manpower
       it takes to do it.

572
00:38:12,357 --> 00:38:16,826
          So, for now,
    our main objective is to
      get into the caverns.

573
00:38:16,862 --> 00:38:20,497
Well, I'll stick to what I do,
      and the more samples
             we get,

574
00:38:20,532 --> 00:38:24,467
     we'll have more values
  that we can plot on your map

          believe this.

       we've been throwing

to get into the cavern.

00:40:30,195 --> 00:40:32,028
    Wow, that's significant.

599
00:40:33,632 --> 00:40:36,132
     We have to go with what
     mother nature gives us.

600
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,736
       Sometimes, you can
         work through it

601
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:41,538
          and sometimes
     you just have to stop.

    This could be the element
    that's causing everything
to go wrong.

00:41:14,139 --> 00:41:17,173
    It can be worth millions.
        Tens of millions,

          There you go.

      a high concentration

620

       before we wanna get
    into a mining operation.
