It's a big day.

Probably one of the biggest
days of my mining career.

Those hummocks
are what brought us here.

And by god,
I'm gonna mine them.

This is the first time
in my career

That we beat
the old timers to it.

And now I want it.

It's our gold,
and we're gonna go get it.

Got the permits.

We're legal to do it.

The neighbors
aren't gonna be happy,

But I've got to do it
for my crew.

I got to do it for jesse,
his family.

And I'm tired
of living in fear.

I got to get that gold
out of those hummocks

Before winter hits.

*bleep*

Looks like the belt
got cut in the hopper.

It's ripped right back
here in the hopper.

It's ripped?

yes, sir.

oh, for *bleep* sake.

morning
in box creek, colorado.

As the team prepares to mine

The long awaited hummocks,

A new challenge threatens

To derail their plans.

Okay. Reverse it.

uh, it's just spinning.

rocks have
jammed the hopper

Feeder's conveyor belt

For the second time
in a week.

put it on
kind of slow.

Okay. Stop, stop, stop, stop.

See, like, the roller is stuck

Between the top
and the lacing.

we brought this hopper
down for a month,

Haven't increased
our production,

And it's done nothing
but give us problems

Since it got here.

a month ago,
dave installed

A hopper feeder
to speed up production

And grade the rocky
mountain pay dirt

Before it hits the roach.

But the belt has already
been replaced,

A costly and time
consuming fix.

You can't even drop
the roller down, nate.

with tons
of gold rich dirt

Expected to pile up
from the hummocks

Within hours,
they must quickly get

The feeder back on line.

well, it looks
like the lacing got caught

On the bottom of the hopper,

Which caused
the belt to tear,

So we're trying
to figure out how the heck

We're gonna do this.

Okay. Reverse again?

yeah, reverse it.

nothing.

It's gonna take a while
to fix this again.

is it worth it?

I don't know.

you know, we should
place this belt on it,

You know, it's $4,000.
I don't know if we're gonna be

Able to fix it.

Yeah, it helped production,

But when we have
breakdowns like that,

We'll lose
that 20% real quick.

well, nathan's
very good mechanic.

He understands
that when something breaks,

It's on him.

I hate equipment breakdown

Because it's out
of my control.

I get impatient, I'm like,

"come on. Let's go. Fix it."

And he's like,
"just take your time.

Let's do it the right way."

So sometimes,
nathan's a lot better

At breakdowns than I am.

I think
it's more efficient now.

Let go ahead and pull it out.
And let's run

With the excavator the rest
of the time we're here.

I mean, seriously.
I mean, this is twice now

-It shut it down.
- oh, I know.

I'll get the 220.
I'll get it back up there.

- okay.
-And chris goes back

-To his parts.
-Yeah.

*bleep* it.

we tried it.

It worked good
for a little bit.

But, uh, not enough
to repair it again.

And this ain't cost
efficient for us to run.

It's ain't worth it.
It's ain't worth it.

if you're just
putting a band-aid on it

And you break
that scab again,

Then you got to fix it
again, and

You got to constantly...
And it takes time.

And it takes away
from, you know, sluicing.

we're doing good
with the excavator.

Let's load the *bleep*
plant and just move on.

what the crew
now lack

In processing speed,

They bank on more
than making up for it

By mining the richest ground

They've ever encountered.

it's been
two months since dave

Was denied access
to the hummocks.

This land is off limits.

That's the reason
we came up here.

but last week,
he made a last ditch plea

To the local county.

It's me with five other guys

And it's basically trying
to support our families.

finally winning
permission to access

The virgin ground
that brought the team

To colorado.

In a couple of days,
we'll be able to mine it.

- damn.
-I know. There we go.

- all right.
- dave, thank you.

whoo!

Hey, case.

Welcome to the upper hummocks,
brother.

It's our new home
for however long

They let us stay here.

holy crap.

I can smell the gold here.

this is where
we show the old timers

Of the past
what they missed out on.

now,
with their gold total

Sitting at 255 ounces,

The hummocks
could be the answer

To their 400 ounce prayers.

hey, dave. You made it
to the promise land.

- how's it going?
-So what's the plan, dave?

let's walk up
this valley.

That's where you found
the good pans.

I wanna start there
and work our way up.

-Let's take a look.
- yeah.

millions of years ago,

A giant ancient glacier

Carves up the landscape,

Leaving undulating hills

Called hummocks.

Rain and melting ice
wash gold

From the mountains
above box creek

Into the valley,
where the hummocks

Become a natural sluice box,

Trapping gold
in the lowest spots

Between the mounds.

At the start of the season,

Dave prospected a draw

Between two large hummocks

And discovered
a concentrated strip

Of gold rich ground.

It's this draw

Jason and kc
will target first.

you know
the number one spot

I'm interested in
is right there.

Yeah, buddy.

The best pan I've ever done
in the lower 48 states

Is right there and it's all
of this material

Coming down into this valley.

I wanna know
how far up.

I think
that you can see it here.

Yeah, right in here?

I think
it might be this pay zone,

But we gotta just pan
the hell out of this

And see what's good
and what's bad.

You know, you'll find out
where the pay zone is.

All right, dave. Looks good.

However, it's a two-mile
round trip.

Are you gonna fix the road?

Nope. There's a $20,000 bond

To mine this.

Anything we disturb,
we have to reclaim it.

The minute we walk
these machines in here,

Everybody knows we're here.

We've got to get the gold,

Reclaim it, and get
the hell out of here.

the plan,
jason will work up the draw

From the test holes
with minimal disruption

To the land
and constantly pan ahead

To keep on the gold.

With the road not an option,

Kc must drive
the forty-ton rock truck

Over rough terrain

On a two-mile round trip
to the plant.

Without you dozing the road,

I can just imagine
any bit of snow

Or water it'll turn
into a nightmare.

We need to be mindful,
though, that I'm gonna have

A hard time keeping up
with chris on the plant.

That'll slow our production
time down tremendously.

if I bring rock
in, build you a nice road,

I got to pull the rock out.

Rather than *bleep* off

The neighbors because
we're tearing stuff up,

Drive on the sagebrush
and we don't even have

To reclaim it.

Give it your best shot
and see what happens.

-Okay.
- all right.

-Let's move some dirt.
-Get some gold.

We're mining the hummocks.

And now, we have to perform.

Jason's gonna have
to find the best gold

Up that valley
and kc has to get this

To the plant.

It's over a mile one way.

So yeah, is it gonna test us?

You bet it's gonna test us.

And now it's game time.

They've got to perform.

these hills are no joke.

It's extremely dangerous.

You gotta remember,
it's a 40-ton haul truck

And it moves around.

But before
I was a gold miner,

I was in the military.

I liked the structure
that I learned from military

And I applied that
into team turin.

Dave's our commander.

He gives out orders
and we carry them out

Until the mission's
accomplished

And that's usually
on my shoulders and jason's.

Let's dig up in this girl
and see what she's got.

holy *bleep*.

Winter's definitely here.

Well, that snow knows
when we're about to do

Some panning, doesn't it?

This is the top, case.

If it's got gold in it,

Get ready to start
trucking, brother.

I'm ready.

this *bleep*
right here

Is gonna send us over that 400

In a big way, you watch.

won't know until it gets
to the gold room, but...

you got
the right color, though.

Look at this pan.

I can remember
the first time I saw

A few colors on a pan

And you see it
and it just, like,

Triggers it.

It's like, it bites you.

Gold is real money,
everything else is credit.

There's just something
about it when you see it,

Something in our dna,
I'll never understand it.

And you'll be up
in the mountains

And you're thinking that,
"is there gold over there?

Is there gold over there?
Is there gold over there?"

I mean, I love
being a gold miner.

Believe me, I wanna hit
that life changing gold pan.

This one's going out to park.

We stepped up to the plate,
you watch.

over the center field.

oh, I hope you're right.

Hmm.

-Bam!
-Holy *bleep*

that's off the top,
brother.

that's what I'm
talking about

-Right there, man.
- look at that.

Whoo!

that'll pay some bills.

we're not
just gonna hit 400,

We're gonna blow that gold
right out of the water.

Let's hit it.

I don't think the hummock
is gonna take us

Over our season total,
I know it is.

Today's the day, baby.

Whoo!

- coming up.

I can't see. *bleep*

a massive snowstorm
engulfs box creek.

I mean, we got
icicles hanging down already.

Holy crap.

nothing
ever comes easy for us.

I ain't see
*bleep* in here.

and the crew
discovers the true value

Of the ground they've bet
their season on.

We say we weigh it up.

Thirty-three, thirty-four.

oh, my god.

it's crazy,
working at 10,000 feet.

Two days ago,
it was seventy-four degrees,

But now it's snowing.

You never know
what you're gonna get

Up here in these colorado
rocky mountains.

winter fires
a warning shot

As a cold snap
hits box creek.

I'm nervous.
We gotta get

All of that gold out
of the hummock

Before winter
kicks us out of here.

Ain't no fun to work
in a mine in.

But we gotta do it.

But *bleep*

How much time we got?

it don't get no better
than this right here.

Good gold, shallow ground,

This is a miner's dream
right here.

The only way
it could be better

Is if it wasn't blizzard-ing
right now.

out in the hummocks,

It's all on jason
and kc to identify

And deliver
the pay that will make

Or break team turin's season.

It's snowing pretty damn hard.

I can't see.

Got no *bleep*
windshield wiper.

Nothing ever comes
easy for us.

*bleep*

this here kc
is the first load

Of the hummock's dirt. Whoo!

that has got
some good gold

And it ain't no doubt
about that.

Yeah!

Colorado is the hardest state

I have ever mined in,

And it has nothing to do
with the ground.

It has everything to do
with the government agencies

And the freaking neighbors.

We fought our asses off
and stressed out

Over getting
those hummocks back.

We're gonna hit
that 400-ounce goal

And go over it.

I really believe it.

all right, jason,
first load of the hummocks.

Here I go.

two miles, brother.
I'll be back.

All right. I'll be getting
set up for you, baby.

the snow's
really coming down.

When you have a lot of snow
and ice on the road,

It's just a matter of time
before you start sliding out.

If something happens
to me out here,

I don't think I even have
any radio contact.

at the roach,

The weather worsens.

Nate must play a waiting game

For the first load
of precious pay dirt.

so we got
the hummock's coming in now,

But we got a long-ass
haul road to go down,

He's got about a mile trip.

So, it's gonna take a little
bit to get there and back,

Kc can unload them.

Kc, you close by?

*bleep*

kc, you got copy?

clear the whole road.
Clear the whole road.

-I'm coming up.

Kc.

To haul down like
to the water pump,

Back up against chris
to see the whole dugout.

Yeah, here we go.

Okay, you two.
There's your first load

Of hummock's pay dirt.

Good deal, kc. Good deal.

Keep it safe
on that road, brother.

as the mercury drops

To 10 degrees fahrenheit,

Nate must keep
the roach running

With no hopper feeder
to grade the rocks.

Mother nature don't give
a damn about you,

Don't care about me,
don't care about gold.

This weather's not gonna
help at all.

I mean, we got icicles
hanging down already.

Icicles building fast,
holy crap.

winter's here
and we're definitely

Gonna be fighting the elements
from here on out.

I just hope the equipment
can keep up.

chris, chris.

Hey, hey, hey!

so we got this
rip right here

In the conveyor belt,
I see it spinning around,

Keep running and it took
the belt all the way in half.

hey there, chris.

Oh *bleep*

The rocks keep falling
in this conveyor

And ripping it.

The problem
is we don't have somebody

That can stand here
and watch

Every rock that falls.

with no hopper
to catch them first,

Large rocks fall
into the roach

And catch under
the tailing's conveyors.

Subzero temperatures
harden the rubber,

So trapped rocks
can easily tear

The stiffened belts.

where are they
coming from?

if you have one
that bounce out

And they'll caught under here,
they got caught in the frame,

That stops the whole belt.

You got one right here, too.

oh *bleep*

that's where
it's coming from right there.

oh *bleep*

-Good. Shut it off.
- all right, dave.

You go ahead and kill
the fresh water.

It's just like everything
we do around here

Seems like it turns
against us.

so how was your first
two-mile round trip, bro?

it's bad.

The road are pretty icy,
can't see a lot.

This truck is, uh,
sliding around a lot.

It's got a lot of weight
in her

But that's a lot
of good gold.

Ain't no snow gonna stop us
from getting our fortune.

10-4.

as kc and jason
haul out the hummock's pay,

Dave and nate fight
to repair the roach.

We have a cut right here.

That's a pretty good size,
so we gotta patch it

And also, we have another cut
here we gotta fix too.

These are the clips for it,
so you have a clip

That goes on top,
clip goes on the bottom.

And they just basically
bite into the belt

And these little teeth,
they just lock in

Kind of like alligators.

So it's kind of like, uh,
stitching up a cut.

It's gonna look like
frankenstein's bride

After I get done.

It's a real specialty belt.

So if we mess this up,

It's season over.

I've been around conveyors
for 35 years

And they are the weak point
of any gold catching system

Because they're made
out of rubber

And it's catastrophic
at times.

That one's done.

do you wanna turn it?

yeah.

Two rips in one hole,
so we gotta fix it,

Losing time.

- that's it, you guys.
- all right, man.

- all right.
-Let's fire this thing up.

let's get some gold
from the hummocks.

woo wee.

It's about time.

do you want me
to rev it up,

-Switch on the conveyor?
- yeah.

the belts frozen
to the conveyor.

The rubber is stuck.

Hand me that shovel.

let's do it, nathan.

let's try this again.

whoo!
Yeah, baby.

All right.

It fired up no problem at all.

It went through the shaker.

it went through the shaker?

-It went through the shaker.

Anybody got a copy?
Testing, testing.

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- you can hear me?

plant running,
the roach can finally feast

On hollowed hummock's pay.

Rocks are in the box.

boys, we are sluicing
in the winter.

Whoo! To hell with the snow,
let's get to gold.

Everything's running
right now,

It looks good.

Belts are all going,
time to run some dirt

From the hummock.

coming up.

kc, I know
you struggle on that road,

But I'm running out
of pavement.

as the thaw brings chaos.

Oh *bleep*

the hummocks reveal...

holy *bleep*

...The enemy within.

there's a lot of black sand.

what the *bleep*
is going on?

high in the colorado rockies,

A new day dawns at box creek.

you gotta pull up,
chris.

Put your bucket down,
just track forward.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- now, pull.

today's the day.

Great ground, great gold,
what could go wrong?

there you go.
You're good.

You got it.
Just standby.

There's a little bit of snow,
but when you know

You're chasing gold like that,
snow don't matter.

you ready, dave?
Okay.

Turn it on real slow.

Water's always
above 32 degrees,

So we'll try to unthaw things
with the water.

Uh, we're not gonna stop
because it's cold.

All right, guys.

Fire up.

firing up!

let's get the gold
from the hummock.

she's alive.

as the snow melts,
the roach gorges on pay dirt

And team turin pushes
to extract

Maximum hummock's gold.

we're finally
loading the hummocks,

We're a hundred
and fifty ounces away

From getting our goal
and the hummock's

Going push us right over.

There ain't nothing
gonna stop us now.

that's a rough *bleep*
road, brother.

that's a big 10-4.

But she's doing it,
she's definitely doing it.

I could feel
the way this truck

Is struggling hauling it.

Little tire spinning,
that ain't nothing.

Keep driving on.

to stay on the gold,

Jason pans ahead,

Checking for changes
in the ground.

almost feel like
I could reach in

And pick out gold.

Holy crap.

I'll bet money
this is holding gold.

The biggest responsibility
I have to deal with

Is making the right decisions
to keep us in the gold.

I have to make this work.

This is how I provide
for my family.

This is how I'm gonna
end up putting my kids

Through college.

My actual gravel layer
is down here.

And this would be
where you normally

You wanna chase your zone,
you wanna stay

In the gravel zone
and in the rocks.

But here, mineralized zone,

That means gold
and that's what we're after.

That looks pretty good.

Now let's go freeze
our hands off.

whoo!

That's ice cold literally.

a lot of them
are real fine,

But there's 50, 60 colors
in this pan.

Holy *bleep*

See that
is a lot of black sand.

And if there's
that much black sand

In the bottom of my pan,
that actually creates

A problem over
at the sluice box.

If you put too much black sand
in the sluice box,

You basically plug up
your recovery system.

This is gonna be an issue
for a wash plant,

There's no doubt in that.

But you know what,
I need to get this loaded

Into that truck
and get it to the plant.

despite the conditions

And loaded
with heavy black sand,

In eight hours, kc makes
thirty-two round trips

To the plant,

Running over a thousand tons
of hummock's pay.

defeat is not an option
for this team.

running the hummocks,
hope it does well.

We just don't know until
we see what's in the box.

It makes me nervous.

Always makes me nervous
because you never know

What's gonna happen.

as a full 12 hours
of running comes to an end,

Another snowstorm rolls in.

And the crew gathers for
the first hummock's mat pull.

well, there's a lot at stake.

That sluice box
is the telltale sign.

There's no second guessing.

What's in the sluice
is in the sluice.

what do you think?

a lot of black sand,
that's for sure.

I need to see
*bleep* in here.

What the *bleep*
is going on?

see that?

These are packed.

heavy black sand
clogs the ripples,

Allowing gold to travel down

And out of the sluice.

we do not wanna
see that right here

On our last ripple.

That means we're not
catching it up on top.

Gold should not be there
at all.

This is our first gold
of the hummocks.

This is where we figure out
what we gotta do, right?

well, maybe
it's too much black sand

And it's...

you know, with this
amount of black sand, man,

I'd be disappointed
if there's no gold in there.

this is an important cleanup.

I'm nervous,
kind of a little bit scared

Because the hummocks is really
what's gonna save our season.

Let's let the gold room
tell us.

that's what I say,
let the gold room tell us.

- get those mats out.
- okay.

obviously...

You know, we're expected
to look in,

See one hell
of a nice golden box

But unfortunately there was
a lot of black sand

And that can hide the gold.

But every chunk of plastic
is a little different.

You gotta run it
before you can figure out

How to get the best recovery
out of it.

morning at box creek

And with the temperature
climbing.

what degree
are we at right now?

we're about 30.

team turin's hopes
of extracting

Life-changing hummock's gold

Rests on some simple
engineering.

we're trying to capture
every bit of gold that we can.

Now that we're on
the hummocks,

There's so much black sand
that it's packing our ripples.

So if we steepen it up,
the water is moving faster,

Causes more turbulence,
washes that black sand out.

dave's plan, alter the angle

Of the sluice to speed up
the water,

Flushing the majority
of black sand

Off the end of the box

Making more room
for gold to settle.

one, two, three.

- yeah.
- I like it.

okay, do I fire it up?

yeah.
Let's fire it up.

let's hummocks.

well, let's see
what it looks like

At the end of the day.
If that don't work,

Then go plan c
and I don't know

What that is quite yet.

jason told me

Some unreal numbers
in the hummock.

So, I'm expecting
some really good cleanups.

Dave and jason prospect
the hell out of it.

They said some damn good
gold there.

So, I'm ready to see
those big numbers.

with a mile long
haul to the plant,

The roach is chewing
through pay faster

Than it can be delivered.

hey, nate.
I'm running out of pay, buddy.

I'm over here doing
the hem packing.

I got couple more scoops
and that's about it.

We got to let kc know,
he's gonna have

-To hump it over here.
-Sorry. I mean, you're...

Are you for that truck
just about?

It's going down faster
than it's coming.

-That's the problem.
-10-4.

We'll get something
figured out here.

hey, kc.
My baby's hungry, man.

So you gotta hurry up
and get that thing to us.

about time, buddy.
I know you got a long haul,

But you're gonna have to do it
a little bit quicker.

outside,
everything is going great.

Plant's running,
we're sluicing.

The thing is
I got to have pay dirt.

I ain't got no pay dirt.

I'm dealing with a ton
of pressure on me

To get this hummocks
pay down to that plant.

As the snow starts to mount,

The road gets muddier
and muddier.

It's super slippery.

It starts sliding everywhere.

I'm engaged
with a six-by-six,

Just doing everything it can,
but I got 50 tons

Worth of pay in the bed
of this truck.

When you start sliding,
like I'm doing right

*bleep* and start sliding

And flip the truck over.

Oh *bleep*

Oh *bleep*

hey, dave turin.
You got a copy, dave?

what's up, kc?

dave, I'm having
a hell of a time staying up

With chris and the plant.

Is there something
we can do to fix that road?

I'll come over
and take a look at it

And see what we can do.

This trip has been
taking me up fifteen,

Maybe twenty minutes,

When normally it would take me
about three minutes.

we're out of pay,
that means no gold.

That's not an option.

So dave's gotta get
the road fixed.

Kc can haul ass,
give us some pay,

So we can make
some damn money.

with kc struggling to keep

The plant in pay,
dave inspects the road.

kc is barely keeping up
with the plant right now

And he's...
He said it's getting worst.

I told him to drive
on the sagebrush

So we don't have
to build a road,

And then do reclamation,
and I got a real dilemma.

The main thing
is keep the plant going.

Yeah, this road is bad.

Oh, this is really bad
right here.

You know, if I come in here
and rock this road,

I'm gonna have to take
all this rock out

Because when I'm done,
I have to reclaim everything

That I touch.

I'm fixing
the very worse spots.

Hopefully this will work
for kc.

the next morning,
with temperatures on the rise

And the roach hungry for pay,

Dave gambles
on repairing the road.

go on and raise it up.

Okay, leave your bed
right there and go.

Up just a little bit.

Now, off a little more.
Right there.

Now, go.

There you go.
Just leave it right there.

Keep going. Keep going.
Now, up.

Up, up.

Go.

Good job.

Thanks, dave.

go get some
hummocks dirt.

It's like yes.
New haul road.

Yes.
Kicking ass.

Now we're flying.

attaboy, kc.
Keep it coming.

with the road
holding firm

And the weather
on their side,

The roach devours
nonstop hummocks' pay.

load of pay dirt
from the hummock.

Actually, I'm shocked.

It's like a happy shock

That nobody's yelling
and screaming at us.

I thought we'd have a lot
of, uh, opposition

To mining the hummocks,
but so far,

We haven't heard anything
from the community.

so already
with the road improvement,

Saved a couple of minutes
off my trip,

I'm happy as can be.

Now, I can increase
my, uh, haul speed

And get some gold
to the plant.

Everyone's happy.

Oh *bleep*

hi there.

Is there something
I can help you with?

We got a problem down here.

so you guys doing good?
Doing...

we're doing good, yeah.

doing good.

Did you get the card
and flowers over there?

- yes, thank you.
- you bet.

- thank you very much.
- god, I understand.

I feel sorry for you guys.
It's crazy. Crazy...

it kicked our ass, man.

He was such a gentle soul
and he loved people.

Everybody that ever met jesse
was like,

-"wow. He's a great guy."
- yup. Real good guy.

well,
that was a surprise.

That guy wanted to know
if everybody was okay.

He heard about jesse.

Finally,
there's a neighbor that,

You know, was concerned
about us

And had, uh,
some good things to say.

So that was kind of nice.

if there was ever moment
that our team

Would've ever given up,

It would've been
the moment jesse passed.

but we didn't.

We knew he'd want us
to carry on.

Helps his family and ours.

we're a man down
and not only just a man,

But a friend, you know.

You just don't get over stuff
like that.

I think jesse
would've loved to be here

While we mine the hummocks
because he wanted to see

The gold come out
of the hummocks.

So, if nothing else,
hopefully we get it

For jesse and his family.

we talked about it
many nights

On how it was gonna
change his life

And the hummocks was gonna
do that for him.

He didn't get the chance
to see the hummocks

Go across the table.

So, uh,
we're doing it for you,

Hope we make a difference
in your family's life,

Like you've made
a difference in mine.

Love you, man.

coming up.

this has been
an amazing team effort.

It was rough.

emotions run high.

This one's for you, buddy.
Wish you were here.

first cleanup
of the hummocks,

It's bittersweet.

as the hummocks
finally reveal their secrets.

look it, look it,
look it, look it, look it.

This is nathan's guide
the southern fried food.

damn good sandwich.

You know it's high quality
bread right there.

You got chicken fried steak,
chicken fried chicken.

Some people like steaks.
Some people like chicken.

Oh, we got chicken
on the grill.

what are you
gonna serve with it?

chicken.
That's it.

Well, you got chicken
fried chicken

That's chicken deep fried,

And you got chicken
fried steak

That's actually piece of steak

That's battered
and deep fried.

You don't mix them together.

You don't have chicken
and steak.

That'd be kind of weird.

Why do you guys
all standing around here?

They're doing
some social media thing,

I'm trying to eat my sandwich.

Wow.

You better hurry up.
It's 'bout done, boys.

Now check the temperature
of chicken.

And I got a hundred and sixty.

I want chicken fried chicken.

You know, it'll be all,
like, steak,

Kind of deep fried chicken,
gravy on it,

Mashed potatoes,
and corn.

Afterwards, you have
a little bit

Of apple pie moonshine
as dessert,

Beverage all in one.

We think smarter out
in the south.

one week ago,
team turin finally broke

Virgin ground
on the promise land.

this here kc
is the first load

Of the hummocks dirt.

but mother nature
mounted an attack.

I can't see.

and black sand
terrorized the sluice.

see that is a lot
of black sand.

I ain't see
*bleep* in here.

what the *bleep*
is going on?

so dave tried
every trick in the book.

steepening the angle
increases the velocity

And it'll wash out
more of the ripples.

to keep the dream alive.

keep going.
Keep going, now, up.

Go.

Yes.

now, as the day
draws to a close,

The team race
to complete the first week

Running hummocks pay.

it's definitely
way more of a treasure hunt.

I got to be on my game, man.

I'm not just moving a bunch
of all the burden,

Praying there's a pay zone
down below.

I gotta actually find
and taste

That pay zone here
in the hummocks.

by hauling all that pay,
the pans looks pretty good

But, uh, every pan that I saw
out of the hummocks

Had a tremendous amount
of black sand.

I'm not gonna lie,
I'm a little concerned.

since we've
been here in colorado,

We always wondered
what hummocks is gonna be.

We didn't know, you know,
how good or how bad

It was gonna be, but that's
what all brought us here.

Is it really that good?
Who the hell knows?

with so much
riding on the gold

From the hummocks,

Dave checks
on his sluice box fix.

so when we started
sluicing the hummocks,

We had a lot of black sand.

We made an adjustment,
we steepened the slope,

It increases the velocity,

Gives us more turbulence
in these ripples.

If you look behind each one
of these ripples,

There's room for that gold
to settle in.

So the adjustment
that we made worked.

- oh.
- there we go,

-Right there.
- bam, baby.

yup, that's it.

Cornflake gold
from the hummocks.

- hey, we caught that.
- whoo!

in the gold room,

Shelly wrestles with the
poison in the pay dirt.

usually, we count
on the gold to be in heavier

And it's easier to separate
the product from the gold.

But the black sand
wants to travel with the gold

And get up in this line.

And this line
should be nothing but gold

If we got everything
adjusted right.

there's just so much
that it pretty much doubles

The product,
it doubles the time,

Uh, just very frustrating.

It... It's a mess.

nine weeks ago,

Dave staked team turin's
season on the hummocks.

It's time to find out
if his gamble has paid off.

first gold
on the way, let's do it.

I wanna see
what the hummocks got.

- hey.
- hey!

- hey, guys.
- hey.

this has been,
uh, an amazing team effort.

It was rough,
but we pulled through.

And you know what,
we're still a man down.

Jesse goins.

He will forever be
with team turin.

that's right.

yeah, I was gonna say
chris made up hummocks bags,

One of those bags
was being buried with jesse.

yeah.

Jesse and I, every night we
talked about the hummocks

Just about whenever
we were leaving together.

Jesse's celebration of life
set the bags up

To go with his ashes.

-I didn't know that.
- yeah.

oh, my gosh.

Love you, jess.

miss you, brother.

What do you say
we weigh it up?

-Let's weigh it up, man.
- yes.

-All right.
-Let's weigh it up.

-Check that out.
-Hey.

- oh, man!
- man!

how'd you get those
black sands out of there?

whoo!
A lot of work.

Today we're gonna start
weighing in one of these.

-Oh.
- now we're talking.

come on, mama shelly.

we need 10
for the bond.

Come on, we need 10...
There's 10.

There's our bond.

hey, there's our bond.

hey.
There's our bond.

There's 30,

33, 34, 35.

There's 40. Chris,
what's our biggest cleanup?

50.1 ounces.

-Come on, let's get over 50.
- that's pretty.

- I think so.
- come on, now.

That is so pretty.

look it, look it,
look it, look it, look it.

- oh, yeah.
-Forty-eight.

-Fifty, fifty...
-Oh! Hey!

Over our best cleanup.

-We got more.
-Whoo!

she's still going.

it's 53, 54.

-Come on, 60.
- come on, 60.

- come on.
- fifty-five.

-Come on.
- are you kidding me?

it's getting
at 60, 57, 58...

-So close. So close.
- ...59...

we're over 60,

-61, 62...
- two.

- wow.
-Oh, my god.

-Yeah!
-Yeah!

-Sixty-four tons.
- 0.4.

- nice job.
- oh, man!

Well, that's like
about a hundred

And twenty thousand dollars
sitting right there.

- holy crap.
- good job.

You know what,
we rolled the dice.

$20,000 was on the line.

We got over a twenty thousand
dollars there.

- there we go!
- whoo!

Are you glad
we rolled the dice?

Good stake on that one.

shelly,
what's the total now?

-Three nineteen.
- yeah.

- oh, man!
- oh, man.

You know what, $600,000,
we're gonna break dance here.

We just beat what we did in
the first two seasons.

The first two years
was 305,

-319, boys.
- whoo!

you guys
are killing it.

- you know what, 81...
- mmm-hmm.

eighty-one ounce
is all we need

To get to our 400-ounce goal.

If we keep going like this,
we're going way over 400.

Yeah.
This is why we came here.

this is just
the beginning.

- mmm-hmm.
- I mean, we got a lot

Of ground left in the hummocks
and if it keeps

Paying like this, boy,
we're on our way, boys.

well, I think jesse
would be pretty happy.

This one's for you, buddy.
Wish you were here.

- amen.
- whoo! Whoo!

-Good job, boys.
-Yay.

-All in.
-All in.

one, two, three.

-All in.
- all in!

whoo!

I still think we're gonna get
600 ounces this season.

We get to 600, will make up
the last 200 from last season.

Lotta bing, lotta bang, baby.

You know, we had a little bit
of an issue with black sand,

But nate stepped right up,
right in, him and dave,

They dialed
that son of a gun in.

And I mean,
look it, 64.4 ounces.

You know they dialed
that sluice

To be able to get
a cleanup like that.

it's bittersweet.

Um, first cleanup
of the hummocks,

Jesse had 64 ounces.

For you, buddy.

Miss you.

64.4, our biggest
cleanup ever.

The hummocks is paying off.

And what so fun is,
it's nice to have a partner.

- yeah. Yeah.
-You know,

She's been through
a lot with me.

- mmm-hmm.
-She's, uh,

Always been there for me
and to be able

To get our largest
cleanup ever together...

-Yeah.
-...Is nice.

-It's a good feeling.
-Hey, nice job.

-Hey. Mmm-hmm.
-All right.

Let's get out of here.

- whoo!

-That's what

on the next episode...

we're not
gonna let those locals

Stop us from mining.

hey, who's that?

team turin
is under the microscope.

who's the main man
in charge up here?

and a tidal wave
of black sand.

stop feeding, stop
feeding, stop feeding, chris.

Shut her down.

threatens
to engulf their season.

-This isn't enough.
-What?

we're never gonna
hit our 400-ounce goal.

It's all on the line
over there on the hummocks.
