Parker:
FOR THIS TRIP TO BE A SUCCESS,

I REALLY WANT TO FIND
A PIECE OF GROUND

THAT EITHER HAS
LOTS OF GOLD ON IT

OR SOME REALLY BIG GOLD ON IT.

Narrator:
THIS OFF-SEASON, PARKER SCHNABEL

IS LOOKING TO EXPAND
HIS HORIZONS IN AUSTRALIA.

AUSTRALIA HAS THE BIGGEST
GOLD RESERVES IN THE WORLD,

AND THEY'RE PRODUCING
MORE GOLD THAN THEY EVER HAVE.

I MEAN, TAKE A LOOK
AT THE NUGGETS

THAT COME OUT OF AUSTRALIA
AND TELL ME

THAT YOU WOULDN'T
WANT TO COME HERE.

IT'S JUST GONNA BE
A WHOLE NEW WORLD.

THESE ARE THE TWO LARGEST
NUGGETS I HAVE EVER FOUND.

WHERE WE GET FROZEN OUT
OF THE YUKON AFTER SIX MONTHS,

HERE, YOU DON'T
HAVE THAT PROBLEM.

LOOK AT THAT.
-NO. THREE?

JUST PULLING GOLD
OUT OF THE WALL.

YOU CAN MINE HERE
12 MONTHS A YEAR.

THIS IS A NEW TEAM,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT DYNAMIC WILL HAVE.

YES!YOU'RE A HERO.

HAVE A GREAT TEACHER.
THANK YOU.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE'LL
COME OUT OF HERE SMILING

AND HAVING FUN AND LAUGHING.

GOOD JOB.
YOU DID GREAT.

BUT I'D BE LYING IF I SAID
IT WAS GONNA BE

THAT WAY THE WHOLE TIME.

EVERY SINGLE THING
IS BROKEN.

THIS IS BULL
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE.

WE CAN'T MINE AT ALL.

I'M DONE.
I'M JUST DONE WITH IT.

-JERRY!
-AW

-OHH!
-PARKER!

SMOKING UP A BIT.

WHAT THE
IS THAT?

-WHOA!
-OH!

BRUTAL.

WELL, I KNOW WE'LL HAVE
SOME HARD TIMES.

Woman: WHAT THE
IS IT DOING?

I KNOW AUSTRALIA IS GONNA BE
HOTTER THAN HELL.

LOOK AT THE FIRE.

THERE'S THE FIVE MOST DEADLY
SNAKES AND SPIDERS IN THE WORLD.

AAH!

-WHOA!
-AAH!

BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS

IF YOU FIND
A GOOD ENOUGH PIECE OF GROUND.

HOLY

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
SHUT UP!

I WILL MINE IN HELL
IF THE GROUND'S GOOD.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Narrator: THE FREEZING YUKON
WINTER IS SHUTTING DOWN

PARKER SCHNABEL'S MINE SITE

AND WITH IT ANY MEANS
HE HAS OF MINING FOR GOLD.

Fred:
WE'RE ALL DONE SLUICING.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH
LAST COUPLE THINGS TO DO

BEFORE WE SHUT DOWN CAMP.

Parker: WE'VE BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL IN THE YUKON,

BUT WE HAVE MASSIVE LIMITATIONS
UP HERE

AS FAR AS
THE LENGTH OF OUR SEASON

AND JUST THE AMOUNT
OF GROUND WE'VE GOT.

YOU KNOW, IF WE MINE 7,000
OUNCES WORTH OF GOLD EVERY YEAR,

WELL, WE NEED TO FIND
A NEW PIECE OF GROUND

THAT HAS AT LEAST
THAT MUCH IN IT EVERY YEAR

OR ELSE YOU'RE GONNA
GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

YOU CAN BE THE BEST GOLD MINER
IN THE WORLD,

AND IF YOU'RE ON GROUND,
YOU'RE GONNA GO BROKE

JUST AS FAST AS ANYBODY ELSE.

RUNNING A MINE SITE
IS DIFFICULT.

EVERY SEASON UP HERE
IS A BIG CHALLENGE.

DEFINITELY A VERY WEIRD DECADE
I'VE HAD.

WHAT'S UP?

Narrator:
SINCE THE AGE OF 15...

LET'S GO FOR AN ADVENTURE.

Narrator:
...PARKER HAS BEEN DREAMING

OF MAKING IT BIG GOLD MINING.

AFTER YEARS
OF TAKING HUGE HITS...

MORE LIKE
KLONDIKE

Narrator:
...HE'S ESTABLISHED HIMSELF

AS ONE OF THE BEST
IN THE KLONDIKE.

OOH.

THAT'S $3 MILLION
RIGHT THERE ON THE TABLE.

Narrator:
NOW AT ONLY 25 YEARS OLD,

HE'S READY TO EXPAND
HIS BUSINESS.

MAN, AUSTRALIA, I MIGHT GO

TRY AND FIND
SOME GROUND OVER THERE.

YOU COULD GO AND TALK
TO THIS GUY, THOUGH.

THIS TED FELLA.

Parker: ADRIAN HAS CONTACTS
IN AUSTRALIA,

AND I KNOW THERE'S A HELL
OF A LOT OF GOLD THERE

AND A LOT OF PRODUCTION,
SO LET'S GO FIND SOME GOLD.

Parker: HI, TED?

GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?

YEAH, HE RECOMMENDED

THAT I TALK TO YOU
ABOUT MINING IN AUSTRALIA.

WE'RE HOPING TO COME OVER
AND KIND OF,

I GUESS,
AS YOU GUYS WOULD SAY,

SUSS OUT THE MINING SITUATION
IN AUSTRALIA,

SO WE NEED
A PRETTY GOOD LOCAL GUIDE.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN DOING THAT?

RIGHT.

Tyler: YES?

HI.

AWESOME.

YEAH, NOT TOO BAD.
IT'S STARTING TO GET COLD.

IT'S, WHAT, I DON'T KNOW,
MINUS 5.

SO I WAS JUST TELLING
YOUR DAD HERE WE'RE PLANNING

ON MAKING A TRIP
OVER TO AUSTRALIA,

AND I DON'T REALLY
KNOW ANYBODY

THAT HAS A GOOD SHOE
INTO THE INDUSTRY

AND SO WE NEED
A LOCAL GUIDE.

WHAT PART OF THE COUNTRY
ARE YOU GUYS IN?

SO IT'S SOMETHING
YOU DO?

GOOD.

WELL, WHY DON'T --
WHY DON'T --

I PREFER DEALING
WITH THINGS FACE-TO-FACE.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN COMING OVER HERE

AND CHECKING
THE YUKON OUT?

ON YOUR WAY
THROUGH VANCOUVER,

YOU MIGHT WANT
TO BUY A COAT.

Parker: SHE SEEMS DEFINITELY
THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT WE NEED

FOR GETTING INTO THOSE MINE
SITES AND FINDING THOSE AREAS.

COME ON, GET IN.
LET'S GO.

RIGHT NOW,
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE TRIP.

I REALLY WANT TO JUST BE THERE

AND GET ON THE GROUND
AND START EXPLORING.

AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET
THE WHOLE TEAM ON BOARD.

I'M LATE TO THE AIRPORT
TO PICK UP DANNY.

HE'S FLYING IN.

I THINK HIS PLANE
ALREADY JUST LANDED,

SO...

I'M A WAYS FROM TOWN.

Narrator:
TO DOCUMENT THE TRIP,

PARKER HAS ENLISTED
AN OLD FRIEND,

ADVENTURE CAMERAMAN
DANNY ETHERIDGE.

SO ME AND PARKER AND I GO BACK
ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF RESPECT
FOR HIM,

AND I'D LIKE TO THINK

THAT HE HAS GOT A BIT
OF RESPECT FOR ME.

ABOUT TIME.

DUDE, REALLY?

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN SAT HERE?

LANDED AT 1:00.

IT'S 4:00.
IT'S 4:00.

GIVE ME A HUG.

COME ON.

I'M SORRY.

Narrator: DANNY FILMED PARKER
AND THE TEAM

IN GUYANA AND PAPUA NEW GUINEA.

ARE YOU NERVOUS?

I'M -- FOR YOU.

WOW.
THIS IS AWESOME, MATE.

I'M JUST WAITING
FOR A BIG BALL

TO START ROLLING DOWN
IN FRONT OF ME

AND CHASING US OUT
THE OTHER END.

Man: FIRE IN THE HOLE!

OH, MY GOD!

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

IT'S GOOD
TO SEE YOU, TOO.

OH

HA! DOZER!

DOZER.
COME ON.

THAT WOULD'VE BEEN THE ICING
ON THE CAKE.

COME ON, DOZE-MAN.

ALMOST FORGOT HIM.

YAY.
THIS IS EXCITING.

I'M TRYING TO GET EXCITED.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING?

I HAVEN'T EVEN REALLY
TALKED TO KARLA

AND FRED ABOUT IT.

THAT'S NOT GOOD.

SO RIGHT NOW,
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW

IF KARLA OR FRED
ARE COMING.

WELL,
YOU AND I ARE GOING.

-KARLA!
-HEY, DUDE!

Narrator: KARLA ANN IS FINISHING
UP SIX MONTHS OF MINING

WITH RICK NESS

AND IS READY
FOR HER NEXT ADVENTURE.

I KNOW.
NICE TO SEE YOU.

SHE'S A VETERAN
OF ALL THREE TRAILS.

FORMER SPECIAL FORCES MEDIC
FRED LEWIS

JOINED PARKER'S TEAM
LAST YEAR IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA,

RISKING HIS LIFE
TO KEEP PARKER ALIVE

AND HAS BEEN WITH HIM
EVER SINCE.

THANKS, FRED.

LIVING THE DREAM, HUH?

YEAH, YOU TOO.

I LOVE IT.
DO YOU?

YEAH.
THAT'S GREAT.

I MEAN, I DON'T LIKE
THE COLD, BUT --

YEAH. WHAT ABOUT AWAY
FROM YOUR FAMILY, TOO?

THAT SUCKS.

IT'S BEEN CAUSING
A LITTLE BIT OF ISSUES,

BUT WE'RE WORKING
THROUGH IT.

WELL, I HAVEN'T
REALLY HEARD MUCH.

HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM PARKER SINCE LAST YEAR,

AND I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT THE PLAN IS.

I'VE GOT -- I KIND OF NEED
SOME INFORMATION.

I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO KIND OF
GO OVER EVERYTHING

ALL AT ONCE WITH EVERYBODY
INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW,

HAVING PEOPLE FIND OUT HERE
AND THERE, SO...

WELL,
LET'S GO FIGURE IT OUT.

-HEY, HEY.
-HEY.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YEAH, MAN.

YOU GOOD? HOW YOU DOING?
BEEN A LONG TIME.

WICKED
TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MAN.

Parker: SO HOW ARE
YOU DOING, KARLA?

I'M GOOD, MAN. I'M JUST KIND OF
WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT WE'RE UP TO

AND JUST KIND OF
WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON.

THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON --
AUSTRALIA.

AND SO MY PLAN RIGHT NOW
IS TO JUST FOLLOW

THE KIND OF THE HISTORY
OF THE GOLD RUSHES,

WHICH ARE ON THE MAP THERE.

VICTORIA, THERE'S LOTS
OF GOLD COME OUT OF THERE.

IT STARTED IN 1851,

AND THEN I WAS THINKING
WE'D GO UP TO PALMER,

WHERE THE NEXT ONE WAS,
AND THEN OVER TO KIMBERLEY,

AND THEN OVER
TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA,

WHICH IS WHERE --
WESTERN AUSTRALIA,

THERE'S SOME HUGE MINING
GOING ON OVER THERE.

Karla:
THAT'S A LOT OF TRAVEL.

YEAH,
IT'S A...BIG OLD CONTINENT.

Fred: AND AUSTRALIA
IS ACTUALLY FULL

OF, LIKE, DEADLY ANIMALS
AND STUFF, TOO.

SO IT'S NOT JUST LIKE --

IF WE DID GO OUT
AND EXPLORE,

WE'D PROBABLY
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL

ABOUT BEING EATEN
OR BITTEN.

SUN EXPOSURE IN
THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT

THAT'S 130 DEGREES.

WHAT, YOU THINK
I'M GONNA COOK?

I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA BAKE.

FRED!
YOU'RE IN THE MILITARY.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE
YOU'RE ON THE FENCE ON THIS?

IT'S REALLY NOT ME
YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT.

IT'S MY DAUGHTER, EMMA,
AND KARA

BECAUSE
SHE'S ALREADY TOLD ME

THE NEXT PLACE
WE GO NEEDS TO BE SAFE.

NONE OF THESE TRIPS
ARE PARTICULARLY SAFE.

Danny: AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED
YOU THERE BIG-TIME.

I'M NOT GONNA BE LIKE
P AND G OR GUYANA.

WE ARE GOING TO BE MORE FOCUSED
ON THE MINING SIDE OF THINGS

AND ACTUALLY EVALUATING
PIECES OF GROUND

AND LOOKING AT OPPORTUNITIES.

SO YOU WANT
TO MINE THERE?

I MEAN, I WANT TO --

I WANT TO REALISTICALLY EVALUATE
THE POSSIBILITIES.

I THINK THERE WILL STILL BE
A HUGE AMOUNT OF EXPLORING.

BUT, YEAH, THE DAYS OF, LIKE,
BEATING THROUGH A JUNGLE

FOR WEEKS ON END,
I'M HOPING, ARE OVER.

I LOVE THOSE DAYS.

THAT'S -- THAT'S --
THAT'S WHAT I ENJOY.

THAT'S, LIKE, WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT THESE TRAILS.

YEAH. I DON'T -- I DON'T --
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.

I WANT YOU GUYS TO COME.

I WOULD HATE TO DO A TRIP
LIKE THIS WITHOUT YOU THREE,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
YOU HAVE TO WANT TO, RIGHT?

I'M NOT GONNA TRY
TO TWIST YOUR ARM.

YOU GOT TO WANT TO DO IT.

SO ARE YOU GUYS IN OR OUT?

I BELONG
IN THE MOUNTAINS.

I'M OUT, MAN.
IT'S JUST NOT MY CUP OF TEA.

IT'S GONNA SUCK.
I MEAN, THIS IS BIZARRE.

IT'S MY FIRST TRAIL
THAT I HAVEN'T DONE.

YOU AND I WERE THE SURVIVORS.

I KNOW.
I KNOW.

YOU KNOW, LIFE IS SHORT
AND JUST FOR THIS YEAR,

MY PRIORITIES ARE GETTING BACK
TO MY ROOTS AND MY TRUE ESSENCE,

WHICH IS OUT IN THE LOCAL
CANADIAN WILDERNESS.

I WANT TO GO,

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT MY FAMILY
TO BE UNHAPPY WITH ME.

SO ARE YOU IN OR OUT?

Narrator: UP AHEAD, A NEW MINING
PRODIGY BRAVES THE YUKON.

I'M FREEZING COLD.
IT'S HIT ME HARD.

Narrator:
PARKER TRIES TO BUILD A TEAM.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING
FROM ME, PARKER?

Fred:
FIRST IMPRESSION ABOUT TYLER

IS THAT SHE'S
THE GIRL VERSION OF PARKER.

Narrator: AND FRED FACES
THE BIGGEST DECISION

OF HIS MINING CAREER.

I JUST WANT TO DO
THE RIGHT THING

FOR EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW?

I REALLY DON'T KNOW, DUDE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME
TO THAT DECISION

FAIRLY QUICKLY,
AREN'T YOU?

I'VE ALWAYS SAID I'LL GO
WHERE THE GOLD IS.

AND IF WE FIND LOTS OF GOLD,

THEN YOU MIGHT SEE ME MINING IN
AUSTRALIA THE REST OF MY LIFE.

YOU NEVER -- YOU NEVER KNOW AND
I'M NOT GONNA RULE ANYTHING OUT.

Narrator:
25-YEAR-OLD PARKER SCHNABEL

IS PREPARING TO LEAVE
THE FROZEN YUKON

IN SEARCH OF GOLD
IN AUSTRALIA.

HIS AIM -- TO PROSPECT,
FIND GOLD, AND STAKE A CLAIM

THAT COULD KEEP HIM
MINING YEAR 'ROUND.

BUT HE'S STRUGGLING
TO BUILD A TEAM,

AND MEDIC-TURNED-GOLD MINER
FRED LEWIS IS ON THE FENCE.

DEFINITELY WAS NOT EXPECTING
KARLA TO BOW OUT.

AND THAT KIND OF PUTS ME
IN AN AWKWARD POSITION NOW

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
IF I DON'T GO,

THIS THING KIND OF FALLS APART.

I HAVE TALKED TO MY WIFE
AND FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT.

BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW,
IT'S KIND OF,

I'M ALMOST LEANING A LITTLE BIT
TOWARDS NOT GOING AT THIS POINT.

Narrator: SO FAR ONLY ADVENTURE
CAMERAMAN DANNY ETHERIDGE

HAS COMMITTED
TO THE 6,000-MILE TRAIL.

YAY.
THIS IS EXCITING.

WELL, THAT WAS
A LITTLE

I'LL BE HONEST,
I WAS NOT EXPECTING IT

TO GO THAT WAY AT ALL.

WITH KARLA,
I KIND OF GET IT

IN THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT,
LIKE, BEING AROUND MINE SITES

ANYMORE THAN
SHE ALREADY IS

IS A GOOD
THING FOR HER.

AND WITH FRED,
IT'S LIKE HE USED TO GO

TO THE MIDDLE EAST
IN THE SPECIAL FORCES.

NOW HE'S GOT TO CHECK
WITH HIS WIFE?

I MEAN, I'M GUESS
I'M NOT MARRIED.

YOU'RE MARRIED, SO I GUESS
YOU PROBABLY UNDERSTAND HOW...

THAT'S QUITE A POWERFUL FORCE
HE'S GOT WORKING

BEHIND IN THERE,
I CAN TELL YOU THAT NOW.

I REALLY FEEL LIKE
HE CAN KEEP US ALIVE.

YOU KNOW?
I TRUST HIS ABILITY.

I MEAN,
THE FACT OF THE MATTER

IS THAT FRED SAVED OUR ASS
IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA.

YEAH. I MEAN, I TRUST HIM
WITH MY LIFE,

AND WE DEFINITELY ARE NOT
ON THE RIGHT START

WITH FRED
BEING UNCERTAIN

AND KARLA
HAVING A HARD NO.

WE COULD BRING DOZER.

Narrator: ARRIVING IN DAWSON

AFTER AN 8,500-MILE FLIGHT
FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA,

TYLER MAHONEY IS
ON HER WAY TO MEET PARKER.

THE FIRST THING THAT HIT ME
IS THE COLD,

BUT ALSO THE SCENERY.

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Narrator: A 24-YEAR-OLD
PROSPECTING EXPERT,

TYLER HAS BEEN MINING
SINCE SHE WAS 8.

YES!

SHE'S FROM A FOURTH-GENERATION
MINING FAMILY

WHO HAVE BEEN HUNTING FOR GOLD
FOR OVER A CENTURY.

I'D LIKE TO THINK I'M A LITTLE
BIT OF AN ENTREPRENEUR.

I DEFINITELY CAN SEE
AN OPPORTUNITY

WHEN IT COMES AROUND.

SO I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY
BOTH BENEFIT FROM THIS

IF WE CAN MAKE IT WORK.

Narrator:
TYLER HAS A NETWORK OF MINING
CONTACTS THROUGHOUT AUSTRALIA

THAT COULD PROVE KEY TO PARKER
FINDING GOLD-RICH GROUND.

I'M EXCITED TO MEET PARKER.

I'M REALLY HOPING THAT
WE CAN FORM A RELATIONSHIP,

ESPECIALLY TRUST.

YOU NEED A LOT OF TRUST
IN THE GOLD GAME.

SO I THINK WE'RE JUST
ROLLING INTO CAMP NOW.

IT'S INSANE.

Parker: WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE
SOMEBODY'S HERE.

Tyler: HELLO.
ARE YOU LOST?

YEAH, IT FEELS LIKE IT.
HOW ARE YOU?

HOW WAS THE FLIGHT?
YEAH.

PROBABLY A LOT OF THEM?A LOT OF THEM.

TOOK ME A LONG TIME
TO GET HERE,

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY
WORTH IT.

RIGHT. GOOD.YOU'VE GOT A BIG SETUP HERE.

WELL, MY TRUCK'S JUST OVER
AT THE OFFICE HERE.

I CAN SHOW YOU AROUND.YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.

SWEET.

Tyler:
ARE YOU INTERESTED TO SEE

THE DIFFERENCE
IN MINING IN AUS?

YEAH, I THINK
YOU'LL REALLY ENJOY IT.

THAT WILL BE COOL.

SO IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA,
WHERE WE'RE MINING,

IT'S BONE-DRY,
SO WE DO DRY-BLOWING MOSTLY,

WHICH, YEAH, IT'S LIKE
A WET PLANT BUT JUST NO WATER.

DO THEY HAVE VERY GOOD
RECOVERY RATE?

THEY'RE NOT PERFECT, BUT
YOU'RE GONNA GET A LOT MORE

COMPARED
TO JUST USING A DETECTOR

BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING ALL
THE FINDS AND EVERYTHING.

IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE COOL

GETTING TO BE A LITTLE BIT
OF A NERD WITH PARKER.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON
I'VE HAD TO DO WITH

IN THE GOLD GAME IS OVER 50,
SO IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE A CHAT

WITH A YOUNG PERSON
IN THE GOLD GAME.

IT'S SO RARE.

I COMPLAIN ABOUT IT A BIT,

BUT REALLY
I LIKE BEING UP HERE.

I LOVE THE YUKON.
I LOVE GOLD MINING.

THAT'S AWESOME.
YOU HAVE TO, HEY.

YEAH.YOU'D GO CRAZY OTHERWISE.

I'M THE SAME.
I LOVE THE RED DIRT.

I LOVE BEING OUT BUSH.
I LOVE GOLD.

TYLER SEEMS LIKE
A REALLY COOL GAL.

PRETTY SWITCHED ON.

DEFINITELY ENTHUSIASTIC
AND PASSIONATE ABOUT MINING,

WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

Narrator:
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CAMP,

FRED IS STILL UNDECIDED.

OKAY, NICE AND QUIET?

HE CHECKS IN WITH HIS WIFE
OF 13 YEARS,

KARA, BACK
IN WASHINGTON STATE.

HEY.
HEY, HOW YOU DOING, BABE?

OH, SOUNDS LIKE FUN.

GLAD I'M NOT A TEACHER. YEAH.

SO ARE YOU BUSY
RIGHT NOW?

I GOT A FEW THINGS I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

OKAY.

SO WE HAD A BIG MEETING
WITH PARKER.

AUSTRALIA IS WHERE
HE WANTS TO GO.

OKAY.

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR
THE ENTIRE SUMMER

AND BASICALLY
I'D BE LEAVING AGAIN.

Parker: IS THERE ANYTHING
IN THE MIDDLE?

NO. NO.
NOT WORTH YOUR TIME.

NO, THIS WILL BE
YOUR BIGGEST ONE.

YEAH, THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD
THAT'S COME OUT OF THERE.

AND THEN THE PALMER IS PROBABLY
THE ONE I KNOW LEAST ABOUT.

BUT I KNOW THERE IS MINERS
THERE DOING WELL.

YEAH.
GOTCHA.

OH, BIG TRIP.Parker: YEAH.

SO WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING
FROM ME, PARKER?

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY

TO GET
ON THE BEST GROUND.

YEAH.AND SO FROM YOUR STANDPOINT,

WHAT WILL IT TAKE
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN?

MAYBE IF I DO FIND YOU
SOME AMAZING GROUND

AND YOU DO REALLY
WELL OUT OF IT,

MAYBE JUST A SPOTTER'S
FEE KIND OF THING.

YEAH, I THINK THAT SEEMS
MORE THAN REASONABLE.

I JUST THINK
I'LL NEED TO TRUST YOU

AND YOU'LL NEED
TO TRUST ME.

AND THE COMMUNICATION THING
WILL BE IMPORTANT.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO DO IT.
I LOVE GOLD.

SO I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
A REALLY GOOD TRIP

IF YOU'D HAVE ME ON IT.

GOOD.

Tyler:
YEAH. SO I'M REALLY EXCITED.

HAD A GOOD CHAT WITH PARKER,

AND WE'VE KIND OF SORTED OUT
A PLAN, WHICH IS A GOOD START.

AND I'VE GOT A GOOD
FEELING ABOUT IT.

Parker: TYLER IS DEFINITELY
THE TYPE OF PERSON

THAT WE NEED FOR FINDING
SOME GOOD OPPORTUNITIES.

I HOPE HE'LL GET FRED ON BOARD
AND GET THIS WHOLE BALL ROLLING.

I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I'M REALLY ON THE FENCE
ON THIS ONE.

I GUESS I HAVE A DECISION
TO MAKE, THEN.

THANK YOU GUYS AND I LOVE YOU
AND I MISS YOU.

I'LL TALK
TO YOU GUYS SOON.

WOW.

HAS THAT HELPED AT ALL?

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPED
OR MADE THINGS WORSE.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S HARD TO LISTEN
TO YOUR FAMILY

TELL YOU THEY MISS YOU

AND THEN TELL YOU
IT'S OKAY TO GO.

I JUST WANT TO DO THE RIGHT
THING FOR EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW?

Narrator: 25-YEAR-OLD MINE BOSS
PARKER SCHNABEL

IS PLANNING A 6,000-MILE
QUEST AROUND AUSTRALIA

SEARCHING FOR GOLD-RICH GROUND

THAT COULD CHANGE
HIS MINING OPERATION FOREVER.

SO WE'VE GOT REAL PURPOSE
AND HOPEFULLY

WE'RE GONNA SEE SERIOUS
AMOUNTS OF GOLD WITH THIS TYLER.

HOPEFULLY.

Narrator: ADVENTURE CAMERAMAN
AND LONGTIME FRIEND

DANNY ETHERIDGE
IS DOCUMENTING THE ADVENTURE.

AND NEW RECRUIT
TYLER MAHONEY

IS NOW THE TEAM'S
AUSTRALIAN MINING EXPERT.

THEY ARE PRETTY COOL MACHINES.

I'D ACTUALLY LOVE TO GET IN ONE

AND TRY AND GIVE IT A GO,
TO BE HONEST.

DEFINITELY NOT TOO OFTEN A GIRL
HER AGE

IS JUST HOPPING IN A LOADER
AND TAKING IT FOR A SPIN.

PRETTY COOL.

Danny: DOZE-MAN!
DOZER!

WHENEVER DOZE-MAN ARRIVES...

THAT MEANS HE'S NEAR.

...SCHNABEL
IS SURE TO FOLLOW.

-HOW'S IT GOING?
-GOOD. GOOD.

HOW'S IT GOING?
-GOOD. THIS IS TYLER.

HI, GUYS.
HOW ARE YOU?

TYLER. NICE
TO MEET YOU FINALLY.

OUR AUSSIE GOLD EXPERT.

Danny: AND HOW IS IT?
LIKE, DIFFERENT FROM HOME?

OH, AMAZING.

YEAH, THE COLD
IS GETTING ME A BIT,

BUT THE SCENERY
AND THE MINE SITE IS INSANE.

Narrator: TYLER AND DANNY
HAVE COMMITTED TO THE TRAIL.

ONLY FRED'S STILL UNDECIDED.

Danny: HAVE YOU HAD
ANY MORE THOUGHTS

ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE AT WITH IT?

AUSTRALIA IS, LIKE, IMMENSE.

THERE'S JUST SO MUCH
INVOLVED IN IT,

AND I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DID KARA HAD TO SAY?

I WAS GONNA SAY, I DID HAVE
A CHANCE TO TALK TO HER TODAY.

SO SHE'S LIKE, "IF YOU'RE
HAPPY, WE'LL BE OKAY

WITHOUT YOU
FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER."

Danny: BUT SHE DID SAY
THAT SHE WANTED YOU HOME.

YEAH. BUT SHE ALSO SAID
SHE WANTED ME HOME.

IT WAS
A GOOD CONVERSATION.

BUT I'VE STILL BEEN THINKING
CONSTANTLY THE ENTIRE DAY

ON WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

SO I GUESS THE BIG QUESTION
I HAVE IS,

IS THIS A FEASIBLE
PLAN IN YOUR MIND?

IT'S OBVIOUSLY
GONNA BE HARD.

I DON'T WANT TO SAY,
"OH, YEAH,

100%, IT WILL BE THE BEST
DECISION YOU'VE EVER MADE."

BUT IT'S 100% DOABLE.

I KNOW FOR A FACT
THERE'S GOLD THERE.

AND WE'VE GOT
AN AMAZING TEAM

AND A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE
AMONGST US ALL.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.

AND I WOULDN'T WASTE
MY TIME IF I WASN'T.

I WOULD LOVE
TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD.

SO...

THAT'S A GOOD ANSWER.

WELL, I MEAN, ULTIMATELY
IT'S UP TO YOU, FRED.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

I TOLD YOU WHEN I MET YOU

THAT I'M ALWAYS GONNA
HAVE YOUR BACK, RIGHT?

AND I THINK ONE OF
THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME

IS MY INTEGRITY
AND MY WORD.

AND AFTER TALKING TO KARA,
I THINK THAT I AM 100% --

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO.
I WANT TO BE THERE.

I APPRECIATE THAT.SO I'M IN.

-IS THAT A YES?
-I'M IN.

YEAH!

DUDE!

YES.

Danny: TAKE YOUR TIME.

WE ARE GOING.YEAH. IT'S AWESOME.

YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THAT?

MOST OF THE DAY I WAS NAUSEOUS
TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT

AND NOW...

NOW I KNOW
I'M WHERE I NEED TO BE.

SO I'M HAPPY.

-WHERE ARE THOSE BEERS?
-LET'S DO IT.

BEER TIME.

FRED IS, LIKE, A REALLY BIG PART
OF THIS FOR ME.

CHEERS.

I REALLY TRUST HIM,
AND I'M GLAD THAT HE'S ON BOARD.

CHEERS.

Narrator:
AT A DAWSON CITY WATERING HOLE,

THE TEAM GATHERS TO INITIATE
THEIR NEW MEMBER.

-CHEERS!
-CHEERS!

-CHEERS.
-CHEERS.

GOOD ELF. YEAH?

Narrator: AND GRILL TYLER,
THE TEAM'S ONLY AUSTRALIAN,

ON WHAT THEY'LL BE FACING
IN THE OUTBACK.

THERE IS A SPIDER
THAT CAN KILL YOU,

LIKE STRAIGHT UP?
IT BITES YOU, YOU'RE DEAD.

YEAH, WE'VE GOT
THE FUNNEL WEB.

AND ARE THEY GONNA BE
AROUND THE TOILET?

WHEN YOU COME TO AUSTRALIA
AND YOU'RE IN THE OUTBACK,

LIFT THE TOILET SEAT UP.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS,
IS THAT

TAKING A
IS POTENTIALLY DEATHLY.

YEAH.
YEAH, DEFINITELY.

AT LEAST THE WEATHER'S
GONNA BE FINE.

SO IT'S GONNA BE,

ESPECIALLY IN THE KIMBERLEYS,
AROUND 130.

130?

Parker:
THAT'S PRETTY HOT.

THE WORST WILL BE HALLS CREEK
THAT WE'RE GOING TO.

EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA
CALLS IT HELL'S CRACK.

130?

TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST,

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE --

I DON'T THINK THEY REALIZE
HOW HOT IT IS.

SO WHAT ABOUT...

A BIT OF A DRINKING CULTURE
OVER THERE? RIGHT?

I'LL DRINK YOU ALL
UNDER THE TABLE.

SERIOUSLY? I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'VE SEEN --

SHOULD WE MAKE HER DO THE...

IT'S LIKE
A RITE OF PASSAGE.

TERRY, ARE YOU OPEN
FOR BUSINESS?

OF COURSE
I'M OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

FEED HER THE TOE.

Narrator: THE SOUR TOE COCKTAIL
IS A DAWSON TRADITION.

TWO SHOTS OF CANADIAN LIQUOR
WITH A GARNISH OF MUMMIFIED TOE.

I'M STARTING
TO GET A BIT ANXIOUS.

IN 1973,
CAPTAIN DICK STEVENSON

FOUND AN OLD PICKLE JAR
WITH A HUMAN TOE IN IT

AND CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
OF THE SOUR TOE COCKTAIL CLUB.

SINCE THEN, A TOTAL OF 10 TOES
HAVE BEEN DONATED TO REPLACE

THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST,
STOLEN, AND SWALLOWED.

YOU CAN DRINK IT FAST,
YOU CAN DRINK IT SLOW,

BUT YOUR LIPS MUST TOUCH
THIS GNARLY TOE.

Man #2: OH, MY

THIS LITTLE PIGGY
WENT TO MARKET.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY
STAYED HOME.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY
HAD ROAST BEEF.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY
HAD NONE.

THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT,
"WHEE, WHEE, WHEE, WHEE"

ALL THE WAY HOME.

SLáINTE!

OKAY.

WELL DONE.

FIRST IMPRESSION ABOUT TYLER

IS THAT SHE'S
THE GIRL VERSION OF PARKER.

THE FIRST IMPRESSION ON TYLER
IS GOOD.

SHE SEEMS PRETTY COOL ACTUALLY.

I'M GONNA GO TO THE BATHROOM
REALLY QUICK.

DANNY, I'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS,
AND HE'S A WICKED GUY.

AMAZING.

YEAH.
THANKS VERY MUCH.

I'M PRETTY PUMPED
THAT FRED'S ONBOARD.

YOU GOT IT.

ARE YOU OKAY?
I'M GOOD.

HERE'S THE EVIDENCE.

THANK YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER.

IT'S A GREAT GROUP,
AND I'M GLAD WE'RE TOGETHER.

AND I'M ACTUALLY REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO WHAT WE CAN DO

AND WHAT WE CAN GET
ACCOMPLISHED.

IT FEELS LIKE
A LOT OF THINGS

ARE COMING TOGETHER
ON THIS ONE, DOESN'T IT?

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
THE GROUP THAT'S COMING.

IT'S LIKE I WANT
TO SEE MORE GOLD.

I WANT TO SEE BIGGER MINE SITES.
I WANT TO SEE SOME PRODUCTION.

ALRIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
LET'S GO FIND SOME GOLD.

Narrator: FROM THE KLONDIKE,
PARKER AND HIS TEAM TRAVEL

8,000 MILES TO THE STATE
OF VICTORIA IN AUSTRALIA.

AUSTRALIA COVERS NEARLY
3 MILLION SQUARE MILES.

THIS VAST CONTINENT HAS
THE LARGEST GOLD RESERVES

ON THE PLANET

AND IS HOME TO
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST NUGGETS.

RECENT SURVEYS ESTIMATE
THERE IS $450 BILLION

WORTH OF GOLD
STILL WAITING TO BE FOUND.

Parker: WELL, I'VE JUST LANDED
IN AUSTRALIA HERE, MELBOURNE.

AND IT FEELS GOOD.

THERE WAS A HUGE AMOUNT
OF PLANNING AND EFFORT

THAT WENT INTO THIS TRIP

AND IT'S COOL TO FINALLY
BE HERE ON THE GROUND.

WE'RE GOING UP TO BALLARAT
FIRST,

WHICH IS ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES
MINING STARTED IN AUSTRALIA.

Narrator:
THE CITY OF BALLARAT

FORMS PART OF THE LEGENDARY
GOLDEN TRIANGLE,

WHERE THE FIRST
MAJOR GOLD RUSH BEGAN

AND THE WORLD'S LARGEST
NUGGETS HAVE BEEN FOUND.

Parker: YOU LOOK FUNNY
IN THE SCREEN ON THE GoPro,

LIKE UP-THE-NOSE ANGLE
RIGHT THERE.

Danny: IS IT BAD?

NO, IT'S NOT THAT BAD.

THAT'S BAD.

Narrator: PARKER PLANS
TO TRAVEL 6,000 MILES

FOLLOWING AUSTRALIA'S
HISTORIC GOLD-RUSH TRAIL,

STARTING WITH THE RUSH TO
VICTORIA'S GOLDFIELDS IN 1851.

PARKER'S TEAM WILL THEN TRAVEL
NORTH TO PALMER RIVER...

...WHERE IN 1873,

PROSPECTORS FOUND
OVER A MILLION OUNCES OF GOLD.

NEXT, THE KIMBERLEY'S
GOLDFIELDS,

WHERE HEAT AND THIRST KILLED

HUNDREDS OF PROSPECTORS
IN THE 1885 RUSH.

FROM HERE, PARKER WILL VENTURE
FURTHER INTO WESTERN AUSTRALIA,

ENDING THE TRAIL AT KALGOORLIE,
SITE OF THE 1893 GOLD RUSH

AND THE RICHEST MILE OF GROUND
STILL BEING MINED.

ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE JUST ON
OUR WAY TO GO MEET

SOME PROSPECTORS
THAT TYLER KNOWS.

IT'LL BE
OUR FIRST MEETING

WITH AUSTRALIAN
GOLD MINERS,

OTHER THAN TYLER.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING
WITH THESE GUYS?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO EXPECT.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

HEY, FRED.

OH, WAS THAT FRED?

FRED, ANSWER THE RADIO!

YEAH,
FRED AND TYLER COPY.

Danny: I THINK THAT
WAS SOMEONE ELSE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT IS THIS PLUGGED INTO?

SORRY, IT'S ALL BROKEN,
WE CAN'T REALLY HEAR YOU.

IS THIS PLUGGED INTO THAT?
BUT I CAN'T HEAR.

CAN YOU COPY US?

WE CAN.
YOU SHOULD BE ON CHANNEL 2.

HEY, WE ARE ON CHANNEL 2,
BUT I DON'T KNOW

IF YOU'RE NOT
HOLDING YOUR FINGER ON THE MIC

OR YOUR FACE
IS TOO CLOSE TO IT.

DON'T TRY TO TELL ME HOW TO USE
A RADIO, FRED.

BUT YOU'RE COMING IN
LIKE AN ELEPHANT.

MAYBE THAT'S VOLUME.

HEY, FRED.

I HAD THE VOLUME
AND THE CHANNEL MIXED UP.

I WANTED TO INTRODUCE PARKER
TO SOME LOCAL PROSPECTORS.

I THOUGHT IT'D BE A GREAT
INTRODUCTION TO METAL DETECTING,

GET HIM USED TO IT
AND GET HIM EXCITED ABOUT IT.

Parker: HI, FRED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
GREAT.

Tyler: HI.HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?YEAH, NOT BAD.

A LITTLE JET-LAGGED,
BUT FEELING GOOD.

YEP.

I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED
TO GET OUT HERE.

AFTER PARKER'S BIG FLIGHT,
THIS IS A NICE ACTIVITY

TO EASE HIM INTO THE TRIP.

YEAH, IT SHOULD BE GOOD.

-HEY, GUYS.
-HELLO.

HOW ARE YOU GOING, BUDDY?
NEVILLE.

NEVILLE, NICE TO MEET YOU.

PROSPECTING IS A MASSIVE PART
OF MINING IN AUSTRALIA.

THE BIGGEST NUGGETS HAVE BEEN
FOUND BY THE PROSPECTORS.

THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD WORKINGS
DOWN THERE,

AND THEY'RE FINDING BIG NUGGETS
THE SIZE OF POTATOES.

-OH, NICE.
-YEAH.

Narrator: METAL DETECTORS
ARE A VITAL TOOL

USED BY AUSTRALIAN PROSPECTORS
TO TRACK DOWN BIG GOLD.

LAST YEAR, NOT FAR FROM HERE,
AN AMATEUR PROSPECTOR

FOUND A 63-OUNCE NUGGET
WORTH OVER $100,000.

Tyler: IT'S PRETTY EXCITING
THAT YOU CAN GO OUT THERE

WITH A DETECTOR AND STUMBLE
ACROSS HUNDREDS

OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
WORTH OF GOLD.

ALRIGHT, SO THESE GUYS
HAVEN'T DETECTED BEFORE,

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO HELP THEM OUT.

IN THE YUKON...

...NOT...

GEEZ, FRED,
SORT THAT THING OUT.

Fred: THERE'S A LOT OF METAL
OVER HERE.

TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.

I HAVEN'T FOUND
THAT BUTTON YET.

DO YOU NEED
THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL?

YES.

PARKER, YOU'RE GONNA BE
WITH NEV,

AND I'M GONNA TAKE FRED.

ALRIGHT, COOL.

ALRIGHT, LET'S GET INTO IT.ALRIGHT.

YOU READY, FRED?Fred: I'M BORN READY.

IF I GET SOMETHING,
JUST SAY, "HEY"?

SHOUT ME OVER. OKAY?

DO YOU RECKON,
THIS IS COOL, RIGHT?

IT'S COOL IF WE
DON'T GET ATTACKED

BY SOME MAN-EATING SPIDER

OR BEAST-EATING SNAKE
OR SOMETHING.

Narrator: 21 OF THE WORLD'S
DEADLIEST SNAKES

ARE IN AUSTRALIA,

LIKE THE EASTERN TAIPAN.

ITS BITE CAN KILL IN 30 MINUTES.

AAH!

GEEZ. DO NOT --

THAT IS NOT FUNNY.

Neville: WHEN I FOUND
THE GOLD IN BALLARAT,

IT WAS JUST EVERYWHERE
IN THE CREEK.

THERE WERE HUGE NUGGETS
JUST SITTING IN THE CREEK BED.

AND THAT STARTED
THE BALLARAT RUSH.

SO DO YOU THINK I COULD
HAVE A GO WITH THIS?

OH, SURE, YEAH.
HANG ON.

SO REALLY SLOWLY AND PROBABLY
LIKE A STEADY RATE.

AND PUT IT WHERE
NOBODY ELSE WOULD PUT IT.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX,

LIKE UNDER A BRANCH
BETWEEN TWO STICKS.

PUT IT WHERE NOBODY ELSE
WOULD PUT IT.

DO A LOT OF PEOPLE COME HERE?

A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW THIS SPOT.

Danny:
IS THERE A BIT OF KIND OF LIKE,

DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT
A BIT OF A SECRET, NEVILLE?

IT'S TOO LATE NOW.

SO, NEV...
YOU GOT A SIGNAL?

I DON'T KNOW.

HERE.

Narrator: ON THIS SEASON
OF "PARKER'S TRAIL,"

THE TEAM VISITS THE BIGGEST
GOLD MINE THEY HAVE EVER SEEN...

HOLY COW.

LOOK AT THAT!

Fred: THAT'S A HOLE.

Narrator: ...A 650-YARD DEEP,
2-MILE-LONG HOLE IN KALGOORLIE,

WESTERN AUSTRALIA,
KNOWN AS THE SUPER PIT.

THE SCALE OF THIS PLACE
IS INSANE.

THE PIT'S HUGE, BUT THIS MILL,

I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PIPES
AND SO MUCH CABLE

AND SO MANY TANKS
GOING EVERY POSSIBLE DIRECTION.

ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO.

PUT IT WHERE NOBODY ELSE
WOULD PUT IT.

THINK OUT OF THE BOX,

LIKE UNDER A BRANCH
BETWEEN TWO STICKS.

Narrator:
PARKER AND HIS TEAM GET A LESSON

IN HOW TO METAL DETECT FOR GOLD
NUGGETS FROM LOCAL PROSPECTORS.

IT'S THE BEGINNING
OF THEIR 6,000-MILE MISSION,

HUNTING FOR GOOD GROUND
IN AUSTRALIA.

DO A LOT OF PEOPLE COME HERE?

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
THIS SPOT.

Danny:
IS THERE A BIT OF KIND OF LIKE,

DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT
A BIT OF A SECRET, NEV?

IT'S TOO LATE NOW.

Narrator: IN THE YUKON,
THE GOLD IS FINE,

SO PARKER DOESN'T USE DETECTORS.

OOH.

NEV.
YOU GOT A SIGNAL?

I DON'T KNOW.

Narrator: BUT IN VICTORIA,
WHERE FIVE OF THE WORLD'S

LARGEST GOLD NUGGETS
HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED,

DETECTORS HAVE A PROVEN TRACK
RECORD IN FINDING HUGE GOLD.

LET'S DIG IT.

THE LOUDER IT IS,
THE BIGGER IT IS.

NO?

HERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS,
YOUR FIRST TARGET, MATE.

Parker: I FOUND A NAIL.

I THOUGHT
WE WERE GONNA GET RICH.

HERE'S OUR SOUVENIR.

OKAY, YEAH,
I'LL LOOK AFTER THAT.

THANK YOU.WE SHOULD KEEP THIS.

SO THAT NEV DOESN'T HAVE
TO DIG IT UP AGAIN.

I REALLY LOVED MEETING
NEW GOLD MINERS,

AND I'M ALWAYS EXCITED
TO LEARN NEW MINING PROCESSES

AND SEE DIFFERENT TYPES
OF MINING.

LIKE, WHAT'S THE RATIO
OF NUGGETS TO FINES?

IS THERE A LOT OF FINE GOLD
THAT YOU GUYS AREN'T FINDING,

DO YOU FEEL LIKE?

YES, THERE'S A LOT OF FINE GOLD
AS WELL AS BIG NUGGETS.

THIS AREA IN HERE,

THEY FOUND GOLD RANGING
FROM FLOUR GOLD

RIGHT THROUGH
TO POTATO-SIZED NUGGETS.

Narrator: THE GOLD PARKER MINES
IN THE YUKON IS FINE GOLD.

CONSTANT EROSION BY RIVERS
OVER MILLIONS OF YEARS

HAS BROKEN DOWN ANY NUGGETS
INTO TINY PIECES.

MUCH OF VICTORIA'S GOLD
DIDN'T GET WORN DOWN BY WATER,

SO THERE ARE MORE GIANT NUGGETS
WAITING TO BE FOUND.

Parker: ALRIGHT, DANNY, LET'S GO
FIND OUR MIGHTY WARRIOR.

YEAH. THIS GUY.

WATCH FRED FIND, LIKE,
SOME MASSIVE NUGGET.

YEAH.

YO, I GOT
SOMETHING RIGHT HERE.

YEAH, THERE'S SOMETHING,
THERE'S A NOISE.

YEP, IN THERE.
HELLO.

WHAT'S UP?
WE GOT A SIGNAL.

YEAH?

DID YOU GUYS LOSE IT?

GO AGAIN, FRED.

YEAH, IT'S IN THERE,
HANG ON.

IS THERE ANYTHING IN THAT?
-NOTHING.

OH, OH, CAN YOU SEE IT?RIGHT THERE.

YEAH.

YOU FOUND
A LITTLE BIT OF GOLD.

YOU'RE KIDDING ME.GOOD WORK.

FRED, THIS IS YOUR FIRST BIT
OF GOLD.

YEAH.
HOW EXCITING.

I DON'T WANT TO DROP IT.

Fred:
MY HEART'S ALREADY POUNDING,

SO I KIND OF WANT
TO GO FIND SOME MORE.

THIS IS SO COOL.

I WANT TO JOIN THE CLUB.

FRED'S FIRST BIT OF GOLD,
WHICH IS FUN.

FIRST BIT OF COLOR FROM PARKER'S
TRAIL, TOO, WHICH IS EXCITING.

ALRIGHT.
SHOULD WE GET GOING?

THANK YOU GUYS,
REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

HAD A BLAST.

THANK YOU.

AUSTRALIA IS A MASSIVE
GOLD-PRODUCING COUNTRY.

THERE'S A LOT
OF OPPORTUNITY HERE.

CHEERS.

I'M REALLY HOPING THAT I CAN
SHOW THAT TO PARKER

AND SEE IF I CAN FIND HIM
A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

THAT'LL ALSO MEAN A BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY FOR ME

AND A FUTURE PARTNERSHIP,
HOPEFULLY.

Fred: AUSTRALIA BRINGS
ON A LOT OF CHALLENGES

THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE,

LIKE SNAKES, SPIDERS,
SHARKS, JELLYFISH, CROCODILES.

EVERYTHING JUST
WANTS TO KILL YOU.

SO THIS IS DEFINITELY
ANOTHER LEVEL FOR US,

AND I THINK THAT I'M GOING
TO HAVE TO PAY

A LOT MORE ATTENTION
THAN I WOULD BEFORE.

REALLY, THE GOLD FOR ME
IS THE FOOTAGE.

THAT'S WHERE MY GOLD IS.

BUT AM I NERVOUS?

DOES A KOALA
IN THE WOODS?

Parker: IT'S A BIG OLD COUNTRY
WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL.

I MEAN, AUSTRALIA HAS GOT SOME
OF THE BIGGEST GOLD RESERVES

IN THE WORLD,
ACTUALLY THE BIGGEST.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THAT THERE'S NOT
A HUGE AMOUNT

OF OPPORTUNITY STILL HERE.

NOW'S THE TIME
TO DO THIS KIND OF THING,

LIKE, LET'S SEE WHAT'S HERE.

MAYBE THERE IS SOME
MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY

TO BUILD A FUTURE
FOR THE BUSINESS.

WITHOUT PUTTING YOURSELF
OUT THERE

AND SEEING WHAT OPPORTUNITIES
ARE THERE,

LIFE'S JUST GOING
TO PASS YOU BY.

Danny: WE'RE MOVING.
THIS IS AWESOME!
