1
00:00:02,367 --> 00:00:05,800
Weather's coming.
Temperature's dropped a good
ten degrees here this week.
2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,200
With only
three weeks left,
3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,066
the Hoffmans need
their best payouts yet.
4
00:00:11,066 --> 00:00:13,634
This is the biggest clean-up
of the season for me.
5
00:00:13,634 --> 00:00:17,066
Over 120 ounces
of gold every week...
6
00:00:17,066 --> 00:00:19,033
Right now we're firing
on all cylinders.
7
00:00:19,033 --> 00:00:20,567
...until the end,
8
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,634
to hit 1,000 ounces.
9
00:00:22,634 --> 00:00:24,266
If we're gonna hit
any of our goals,
10
00:00:24,266 --> 00:00:26,333
we gotta keep
the plants turning.
11
00:00:26,333 --> 00:00:28,266
While Hunter
and his crew scramble
12
00:00:28,266 --> 00:00:30,200
to keep
the Black Pearl churning.
13
00:00:31,033 --> 00:00:32,734
Being down right now,
it sucks.
14
00:00:32,734 --> 00:00:36,500
Todd takes
desperate action
to find better pay dirt.
15
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:39,400
This section right here
could be 25%,
16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,066
maybe even 35%
of the total gold
that we need.
17
00:00:43,066 --> 00:00:45,834
Will returning
to last year's abandoned cut
18
00:00:45,834 --> 00:00:48,266
steer them towards
their 1,000-ouce goal...
19
00:00:48,266 --> 00:00:49,400
I hate
switching gears again,
20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,567
but I think we gotta
take to risk.
21
00:00:51,567 --> 00:00:54,533
...or will Todd's gamble
be a dead end?
22
00:00:54,533 --> 00:00:59,266
This pay dirt here
is the wettest, nastiest stuff
that we've ever ran.
23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,834
This baby's
running lean and mean,
and I am going fast.
24
00:01:17,834 --> 00:01:20,634
I am running 250 yards
an hour right now.
25
00:01:20,634 --> 00:01:22,834
If there wasn't
so much water on it,
26
00:01:22,834 --> 00:01:25,533
you'd probably see steam
coming off of it.
27
00:01:25,533 --> 00:01:27,200
But I am concerned
28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,233
because no matter
how many yards
29
00:01:29,233 --> 00:01:30,734
that we're churning through,
30
00:01:30,734 --> 00:01:33,133
our clean-ups are always
a little bit less
31
00:01:33,133 --> 00:01:34,834
than what they really
should be.
32
00:01:49,066 --> 00:01:50,600
What is
this stuff, Andy?
33
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:53,000
Is this
what we've been running?
34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,333
Yeah.
35
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:56,967
So here's the thing,
we're working in an area
36
00:01:56,967 --> 00:01:59,266
- that's not very large.
- Yeah.
37
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:01,233
So when we first started it,
38
00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:03,100
we're up higher,
so it was bigger,
39
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:05,767
so I was taking it off
in layers.
40
00:02:05,767 --> 00:02:10,600
Now we're going
through the layers
and taking multiple layers.
41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,767
Maybe we've mixed
some of the good pay
42
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:16,333
with stuff that doesn't have
any gold in it.
43
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:18,600
And maybe we've come up
44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,967
with that three quarters
of an ounce a hundred
45
00:02:20,967 --> 00:02:24,200
just because we've got a layer
that's not very good.
46
00:02:25,066 --> 00:02:27,033
When... and I pan those cuts
47
00:02:27,033 --> 00:02:28,867
and you can see it
on the face of a wall,
48
00:02:28,867 --> 00:02:31,634
and you get
all the brown layer,
red layer,
49
00:02:31,634 --> 00:02:33,367
a black layer, a grey layer,
50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,300
there's certain layers
that are really rich
51
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,433
and there's layers that have
a piece of gold in it.
52
00:02:38,433 --> 00:02:40,533
And then there's layers
that have 14 pieces
of gold in it.
53
00:02:40,533 --> 00:02:41,300
Right.
54
00:02:42,467 --> 00:02:45,734
I think we mix
those weaker layers in
with our rich layers.
55
00:02:45,734 --> 00:02:48,300
Problem is when
you're taking it off
the face of a wall,
56
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,433
- you can't pick out.
- Just pick, yeah.
57
00:02:50,433 --> 00:02:51,634
You gotta take
the whole thing.
58
00:02:51,634 --> 00:02:54,033
- You're kind of
blending it, so...
- Yeah.
59
00:02:54,033 --> 00:02:56,967
Three quarters of an ounce,
a hundred ain't gonna do it.
60
00:02:56,967 --> 00:02:58,133
No.
61
00:02:58,133 --> 00:03:00,233
- And we don't
have enough time.
- No, we don't.
62
00:03:00,233 --> 00:03:03,800
We gotta get the rich stuff
and we gotta run it quick.
63
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:05,133
Yeah.
64
00:03:05,133 --> 00:03:07,400
When you add up
the time we have left
65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,100
and our resources,
66
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:11,800
we gotta get a lot of gold
in a short amount of time.
67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,233
So, we wanna try
to shift gears
and see what's going on.
68
00:03:23,066 --> 00:03:26,734
So, the cut
from last year
out there on Quartz Creek,
69
00:03:26,734 --> 00:03:28,700
let's just call it
the Lost Cut.
70
00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:31,066
I went back
over the drill holes,
71
00:03:31,066 --> 00:03:35,000
there are three
to three-and-a-half ounces
per 100.
72
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,166
Last year we tried
to run some pay dirt
on Quartz Creek.
73
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:40,700
I had
some really good results.
74
00:03:40,700 --> 00:03:43,200
By drilling,
the best prospects I found
75
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,634
were on Quartz Creek.
76
00:03:44,634 --> 00:03:47,367
That's the only place
that we have
a drilled resource right now
77
00:03:47,367 --> 00:03:49,066
that's ready to go.
78
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:52,133
But the weather
had other ideas on us.
79
00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:55,266
What do you think, Andy?
You think this will fall out?
80
00:03:55,266 --> 00:03:58,767
I don't know. We're late.
I don't know
if it'll fall or not.
81
00:03:58,767 --> 00:04:01,567
Kind of doubtful,
but we'll give it a try
for Jason.
82
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,967
We just don't have
any heat. We need heat.
83
00:04:06,967 --> 00:04:09,066
Just the wrong time.
84
00:04:09,066 --> 00:04:12,333
That cut's been open
all summer,
so I know it's got some thaw,
85
00:04:12,333 --> 00:04:14,934
but with the weather changing
and how cold it's getting,
86
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:16,133
we're running out of time.
87
00:04:16,133 --> 00:04:18,600
What we need
is that 2 ounces a hundred
88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,266
...and on up.
89
00:04:20,266 --> 00:04:23,734
That's gonna push us
way farther ahead.
90
00:04:23,734 --> 00:04:25,734
If the drill holes
are correct,
91
00:04:25,734 --> 00:04:28,166
we're all gonna run at
Black Pearl, Holy Roller.
92
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:30,266
We throw a Hail Mary
at this thing.
93
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:32,500
If not, we're screwed.
94
00:04:35,767 --> 00:04:38,066
If it truly is 3 ounces
a hundred,
95
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:42,266
this section right here
could be 25%
96
00:04:42,266 --> 00:04:45,767
maybe even 35%
of our total gold
that we need.
97
00:04:45,767 --> 00:04:48,100
Yeah. I think what I'd do
is I'd get in here
98
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,500
get the water out,
expose the ground.
99
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,367
I think I can do that
in a day.
100
00:04:52,967 --> 00:04:54,333
I hate switching gears again,
101
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:56,567
but I think
we gotta take to risk.
102
00:04:56,567 --> 00:04:58,233
Run one day of it,
103
00:04:58,233 --> 00:04:59,433
do a clean-up,
104
00:04:59,433 --> 00:05:01,367
and then we'll find out
105
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:03,634
if this mine's like a drill.
106
00:05:03,634 --> 00:05:06,033
We moved around
a lot this year,
107
00:05:06,033 --> 00:05:07,133
trying to find pay dirt.
108
00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:09,667
We started
the Ancient Riverbed,
109
00:05:09,667 --> 00:05:11,967
then we went up
to the Narrows of Dahl,
110
00:05:11,967 --> 00:05:13,800
and then over at North Fork.
111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,700
But if I'm gonna win,
I gotta take this gamble.
112
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:19,867
I gotta take Andy out
from actually getting pay dirt
113
00:05:19,867 --> 00:05:22,600
and put him over here
on this little project.
114
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,266
Hopefully, it pans out.
115
00:05:24,266 --> 00:05:25,967
- Get me a day, run it.
- Okay.
116
00:05:25,967 --> 00:05:29,000
Let's do a clean-up,
and then that clean-up
117
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,367
will tell us the story.
118
00:05:30,367 --> 00:05:33,967
You'll just have to keep Tater
scratching that pay
119
00:05:33,967 --> 00:05:35,734
from the Narrows of Dahl.
120
00:05:35,734 --> 00:05:38,600
I need Andy to focus
on the Lost Cut.
121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,700
While he's doing that,
we're gonna have Tater
122
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:43,000
start pulling dirt
from the Narrows of Dahl,
123
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,300
and get that pay dirt down
to the Black Pearl and Hunter
124
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,734
because their clean-ups
were even worse than ours.
125
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:50,533
Thirty-five,
126
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:54,033
forty-four.
127
00:05:54,033 --> 00:05:57,467
Clearly
what we have here
is a pay dirt problem.
128
00:05:57,467 --> 00:06:01,033
I need them to run
the pay dirt
from the Narrows of Dahl.
129
00:06:01,033 --> 00:06:03,200
Tater needs to watch
those layers
130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,500
and only bring
the good pay dirt
131
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,567
to the Black Pearl.
132
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:10,900
- Well, I say
it's worth the risk.
- For sure.
133
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:12,700
- One clean-up.
- One clean-up. We'll do it.
134
00:06:31,133 --> 00:06:32,567
Yeah, everything
looks all good.
135
00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:36,233
Right now we're firing
on all cylinders.
136
00:06:36,233 --> 00:06:39,066
This morning, we made
a few small improvements
on the plant.
137
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:41,634
Changed... Pulled out
all the water bars,
138
00:06:41,634 --> 00:06:43,400
and we got some more RPMs
out of our pump,
139
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,800
so everything seems
to be washing
a little bit better.
140
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,000
All right, this looks
a little better.
141
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,467
I'm liking how
the water bar's looking, too.
142
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:52,800
That should be
way better than before.
143
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,900
Yeah, that's... That's looking
really good, dude.
144
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,800
We can shove
some more material
in here now.
145
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,266
Let's go ahead and...
And clean it fairly fast.
146
00:07:02,266 --> 00:07:04,800
After several
low weigh-ins for Northfork,
147
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,834
Hunter and his crew gear up
148
00:07:06,834 --> 00:07:09,300
to run better pay
from the Narrows of Dahl.
149
00:07:10,767 --> 00:07:12,667
That's rinsing
the material a lot better.
150
00:07:12,667 --> 00:07:16,066
Yeah, that's what we needed.
Just cleaning it freaking...
151
00:07:16,066 --> 00:07:18,867
Yeah, that's fine china
coming right out the end.
152
00:07:18,867 --> 00:07:21,934
My game plan
is to just try
to run richer pay.
153
00:07:21,934 --> 00:07:24,800
At the end of the day, um,
we're all on the same ship,
154
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,000
so, you know, I'm gonna
just have to trust my dad
155
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,300
and run whatever
he wants to run.
156
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:31,600
Okay, let's rip it.
157
00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:33,400
Let's rip it!
158
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:49,033
Here's the deal.
159
00:07:49,033 --> 00:07:52,066
We've got this cut
that I gotta go deal with,
the Lost Cut.
160
00:07:52,066 --> 00:07:54,333
I need to stick down there
for a couple of days.
161
00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:57,300
- All right.
- So you are gonna
kind of be thrown
162
00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:58,767
into the lion's den
a little bit.
163
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,333
I need you just to scratch pay
and load these trucks.
164
00:08:06,333 --> 00:08:08,000
Stay with the layers
that we have.
165
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,400
I keep finding
this red layer.
It always pays really good.
166
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,867
The Narrows of Dahl
has five different layers
of dirt.
167
00:08:14,867 --> 00:08:17,233
In order to reach
the gold ridge pay dirt,
168
00:08:17,233 --> 00:08:20,634
Tater must first dig through
a black topsoil layer
169
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:23,200
and two clay ridge,
brown layers.
170
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,467
Below those lies the gold
171
00:08:25,467 --> 00:08:28,400
in a red layer
and a grey or rich layer.
172
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,166
Digging for pay
requires experience
and a keen eye.
173
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,233
Don't get too far ahead
of yourself.
You got a question, call me.
174
00:08:36,233 --> 00:08:37,400
I'll come back down here.
175
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,133
All right.
176
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,934
Usually you get dropped
into something like this
177
00:08:40,934 --> 00:08:43,000
after a couple years
of moving dirt
178
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,266
and hauling pay
and everything,
you kind of learn it.
179
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:46,867
But we just don't have
that luxury.
180
00:08:46,867 --> 00:08:48,467
Just take your time,
181
00:08:48,467 --> 00:08:51,433
slow and steady,
I think you'll be okay.
182
00:08:51,433 --> 00:08:52,967
- All right.
- Okay?
183
00:08:52,967 --> 00:08:54,500
I'll do my best.
184
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,467
You can do this.
I know you can.
185
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:58,567
So, just take your time,
though, okay?
186
00:08:58,567 --> 00:09:00,300
- No problem.
- Call me if you need me.
187
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:01,433
- All right, I'm out.
- Good luck over there.
188
00:09:01,433 --> 00:09:02,166
Yeah.
189
00:09:07,734 --> 00:09:09,333
I'm a little nervous,
I'll be honest with you.
190
00:09:09,934 --> 00:09:11,600
It's a big responsibility.
191
00:09:13,066 --> 00:09:14,834
You know, Todd really went
out on a limb this year
192
00:09:14,834 --> 00:09:16,233
with the equipment,
193
00:09:16,233 --> 00:09:18,166
with fuel, with everything.
194
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:20,767
So I wanna come up
with a lot of gold
195
00:09:20,767 --> 00:09:22,300
to make sure
that he doesn't go broke
196
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:24,600
and keep him in the black.
197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,166
The gold is in the ground.
We just gotta dig
and get it out.
198
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:47,934
I don't mind the work,
but I'm not gonna lie,
these 16, 17-hour days,
199
00:09:47,934 --> 00:09:49,200
they're getting to me.
200
00:09:51,567 --> 00:09:53,734
Once-in-a-lifetime experience.
201
00:09:54,033 --> 00:09:55,233
Every year.
202
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,100
We're running out of time.
203
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,300
Winter's coming.
204
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:05,533
We just gotta keep going,
keep grinding, no matter what.
205
00:10:23,333 --> 00:10:24,967
Hey, Sparky,
the water stopped.
206
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,300
Sparky, do you copy?
207
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:36,166
Oh,
208
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:00,400
I was feeding the plant,
everything was going great,
209
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,967
and then I go to dump
another scoop,
210
00:11:02,967 --> 00:11:04,934
and I realize the water's off.
211
00:11:04,934 --> 00:11:07,433
So, you know,
I had to shut it down.
212
00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,934
Being down right now,
it sucks.
213
00:11:10,934 --> 00:11:13,000
And we gotta get up
and running
as soon as possible.
214
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,300
So, I put Cub
up in the Black Pearl.
215
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:21,800
Then I hear on the radio
that the water shut off,
216
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,834
so our pump's full idle,
it's like dead,
217
00:11:24,834 --> 00:11:27,867
which I don't have
another one, obviously.
218
00:11:30,166 --> 00:11:31,967
We'll just figure out
a solution
and work through it.
219
00:11:32,934 --> 00:11:35,000
With the Black Pearl
unable to run,
220
00:11:38,433 --> 00:11:41,066
Cub goes to work
helping Tater stack pay
221
00:11:41,066 --> 00:11:42,266
from the Narrows of Dahl.
222
00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:12,133
Biggest part
about this
223
00:12:12,133 --> 00:12:14,066
is I hope I don't make
any mistakes.
224
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:16,667
If I throw away pay dirt,
that costs money.
225
00:12:16,667 --> 00:12:18,700
And if I send the wrong dirt,
we run dirt
226
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:19,900
that doesn't have
anything in it,
227
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:21,767
that's a whole
other problem, so...
228
00:12:24,967 --> 00:12:25,867
Yeah.
229
00:12:39,233 --> 00:12:43,767
There's so many
different colors
and types of material here.
230
00:12:43,767 --> 00:12:47,200
It's really not easy.
Andy makes it look
pretty easy.
231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,467
He's good. Man is good.
232
00:12:49,467 --> 00:12:52,066
I hope I can do it
half as good
and quick as he can.
233
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,967
Over at the Lost Cut...
234
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:16,333
...Andy begins prepping
the pay dirt.
235
00:13:16,333 --> 00:13:18,333
His first step
is dewatering it
236
00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:19,533
with the Barco Pump.
237
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:23,734
Unless
the water's moving,
it's an insulator.
238
00:13:23,734 --> 00:13:24,767
It doesn't thaw out.
239
00:13:24,767 --> 00:13:26,634
It'll stay frozen.
It'll never thaw.
240
00:13:26,634 --> 00:13:30,200
You will have a muddy mess
because every time it rains,
241
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,400
just slops more material down.
242
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,300
You want to keep
the water flowing.
243
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:36,700
What I need is some sunshine
and some heat.
244
00:13:37,734 --> 00:13:39,033
This
gas-powered pump
245
00:13:39,033 --> 00:13:42,166
can move up to 750 gallons
a minute,
246
00:13:42,166 --> 00:13:44,266
dispersing into
a nearby reserve.
247
00:13:45,767 --> 00:13:47,800
But the pump alone
isn't enough.
248
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,934
So, Andy will use
the long neck
249
00:13:49,934 --> 00:13:53,200
to dig 6-foot ditches
for the water to flow into,
250
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,133
which, in turn, will lower
the overall water level
251
00:13:56,133 --> 00:13:59,333
and expose more ground
to the heat of the sun.
252
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,900
As much I wanted
to start digging the payout,
253
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,000
first thing you do
is you get your ditches right
254
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,266
and you get your pump going,
get rid of all the water.
255
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:11,300
Just keep the pump running,
keep the water going.
256
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:14,133
It's mother nature
that we're gonna
fight against today
257
00:14:14,133 --> 00:14:15,133
and we'll see who wins.
258
00:14:16,433 --> 00:14:17,467
That's all we can do.
259
00:14:29,567 --> 00:14:32,266
So I got a call
that the Black Pearl was down
260
00:14:32,266 --> 00:14:33,967
due to the water pump failed.
261
00:14:33,967 --> 00:14:36,367
Looks like we got
a bad alternator
262
00:14:36,367 --> 00:14:39,200
because the battery
is completely dead.
263
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,600
If the alternator's
not charging the battery
264
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,834
and the battery goes dead,
265
00:14:42,834 --> 00:14:44,800
it shuts off,
shuts the pump down.
266
00:14:45,867 --> 00:14:47,367
The alternator
is a machine
267
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:49,867
connected to the motor
by a drive belt.
268
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:52,834
As it rotates,
it converts mechanical energy
269
00:14:52,834 --> 00:14:54,433
into electrical energy,
270
00:14:54,433 --> 00:14:56,433
which maintains
the batter's charge
271
00:14:56,433 --> 00:14:58,700
and allows the pump
to continue running.
272
00:14:59,967 --> 00:15:02,734
We'll probably
start this back up
with another battery,
273
00:15:02,734 --> 00:15:06,533
then go get a battery charger
and send it here
with a generator.
274
00:15:06,533 --> 00:15:08,700
I don't know if that's
gonna fit in there.
275
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:11,200
Close enough.
276
00:15:18,767 --> 00:15:20,667
So we're gonna run
jumper cables
277
00:15:20,667 --> 00:15:23,433
from the Barco
to your battery,
278
00:15:23,433 --> 00:15:26,667
so the Barco's
gonna be charging
your battery all the time
279
00:15:26,667 --> 00:15:28,567
until we source
another alternator.
280
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:32,233
The alternator's
the problem.
281
00:15:32,233 --> 00:15:35,533
I figured. Do we have
another one like this here?
282
00:15:35,533 --> 00:15:37,600
I think I have one more,
283
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,066
but I gotta go find it.
284
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:41,433
But if you wanna
get up and running,
285
00:15:41,433 --> 00:15:43,133
you're able to now.
286
00:15:43,133 --> 00:15:45,567
- All right, thank you.
- You're welcome.
287
00:15:45,567 --> 00:15:48,667
I'm hoping that Randy
can find another alternator
288
00:15:48,667 --> 00:15:51,433
off another pump or something
in the camp.
289
00:15:51,433 --> 00:15:53,467
I wish we weren't having
these little tiny issues,
290
00:15:53,467 --> 00:15:55,533
but everything
we're using is old,
291
00:15:55,533 --> 00:15:57,567
everything has
a lot of wear on it.
292
00:15:57,567 --> 00:15:59,767
Everything takes
a long time out here.
293
00:15:59,767 --> 00:16:02,400
Even just losing half an hour
is a lot of money,
294
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,100
so there's a lot of factors
working against us.
295
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:08,033
Okay, alternator went out
on the pump.
296
00:16:09,133 --> 00:16:11,100
They're putting cables
from the Barco onto ours
297
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,433
so it's charging the battery
all the time.
298
00:16:12,433 --> 00:16:14,533
Randy's gonna see
if he can get
another alternator
299
00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:16,100
off another pump.
300
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:18,166
So we're back up
and running right now.
301
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:19,867
We should be at full water
here in a second.
302
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,133
We're Band-Aiding it for now,
but it got us up and running.
303
00:16:36,133 --> 00:16:37,467
It wasn't catastrophic,
304
00:16:37,467 --> 00:16:40,200
but time is money,
so hopefully tonight
305
00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:42,100
when we shut down for good,
306
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:44,967
we can get
a more permanent fix
on that thing.
307
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,467
Okay.
308
00:17:09,467 --> 00:17:12,133
With the majority
of the water drained
from the Lost Cut,
309
00:17:12,133 --> 00:17:14,667
Andy begins loading
rock trucks with pay.
310
00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:18,400
I've never seen ground
that has so much ice in it.
311
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:20,900
Welcome to...
312
00:17:25,166 --> 00:17:27,333
When you move it,
move it real slow.
313
00:17:28,834 --> 00:17:32,500
You know, this cut
has a lot more water
than what we're used to,
314
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:35,367
and what we're getting into,
there's ice lenses
going through it.
315
00:17:36,166 --> 00:17:38,400
So as soon as you expose
it to the air,
316
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,667
turns instantly to water.
317
00:17:39,667 --> 00:17:41,433
So, we got a lot of water.
318
00:17:41,433 --> 00:17:44,300
But that's good. It's melting.
That's what I want.
319
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:45,600
It just makes a mess, though.
320
00:18:06,467 --> 00:18:10,800
If this cut
comes in anywhere near
3 ounces a hundred,
321
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,300
that's gonna save our season.
322
00:18:32,734 --> 00:18:34,233
Everything
looks good right now.
323
00:18:34,233 --> 00:18:35,600
Hopefully it stays running
324
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,433
until we can get
a more permanent fix
on that thing.
325
00:18:41,667 --> 00:18:43,400
While Hunter
and Cub take advantage
326
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,266
of the temporary battery power
running the water pump
327
00:18:46,266 --> 00:18:48,200
to push
Narrows of Dahl pay dirt...
328
00:18:50,967 --> 00:18:52,767
Has it got a...
built on it?
329
00:18:52,767 --> 00:18:55,100
- We can take the pulley off.
- We can change it, yeah.
330
00:18:55,100 --> 00:18:57,667
...Ron and Randy scour
old equipment
331
00:18:57,667 --> 00:19:00,200
in hopes of finding
an alternator matching
332
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,300
the exact model they need
to permanently fix the pump.
333
00:19:04,634 --> 00:19:07,667
That orange pump
over here is the one...
334
00:19:07,667 --> 00:19:10,300
- It's got a John Deere engine
on it.
- Yeah.
335
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:14,300
And I took
the alternator off of it
for the camp generator.
336
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:16,266
- This one's identical.
- Is it?
337
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,867
Oh, yeah.
338
00:19:18,867 --> 00:19:20,934
- Okay, this will fit.
- Yeah.
339
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
There she be.
340
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,166
Black Pearl is built
like a tank.
341
00:19:25,166 --> 00:19:27,967
That thing is so heavy
and so strong
342
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:30,433
that nothing's really
gonna affect it.
343
00:19:30,433 --> 00:19:33,300
What's gonna affect it
is the little things
around it.
344
00:19:33,300 --> 00:19:36,734
And that's
what happened today.
An alternator failure.
345
00:19:36,734 --> 00:19:38,266
Okay, you want me to rip
into that, then?
346
00:19:38,266 --> 00:19:40,433
Yeah, you rip
into that and I'll...
347
00:19:40,433 --> 00:19:41,900
I'll get back to trucking.
348
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:44,000
It's just timing.
We're out of it.
349
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,600
We don't have any more time.
We have to stay running.
350
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,634
This alternator will be
a real good donor candidate
for us.
351
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,333
They're both John Deere,
352
00:19:52,333 --> 00:19:55,100
and the mounting
appears to be the same.
353
00:19:58,066 --> 00:19:59,433
There we go.
354
00:19:59,433 --> 00:20:01,000
That's the last one
in captivity,
355
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,300
so better not lose it
or break it.
356
00:20:04,433 --> 00:20:07,200
All there. Okay, let's go.
357
00:20:30,133 --> 00:20:31,867
That is really wet.
358
00:20:32,667 --> 00:20:34,133
Back
at the Holy Roller,
359
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:37,700
Todd continues to run
the 650-yard test pay
360
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:38,834
from the Lost Cut.
361
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,667
This pay dirt here
is the wettest,
362
00:20:44,667 --> 00:20:46,934
nastiest stuff
that we've ever ran.
363
00:20:46,934 --> 00:20:51,133
Just running out
of the bucket, man.
It's like wet concrete.
364
00:20:55,834 --> 00:20:57,333
It kind of reminds me
365
00:20:57,333 --> 00:21:00,433
of something that
my grandma used to make
366
00:21:01,033 --> 00:21:01,867
for dinner.
367
00:21:02,967 --> 00:21:04,900
It wasn't good then
and it ain't good now.
368
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:08,266
Because that cut
369
00:21:08,266 --> 00:21:11,867
was done
at the wrong time,
it's really, really wet,
370
00:21:11,867 --> 00:21:15,000
so our pay dirt
is just saturated with water.
371
00:21:21,433 --> 00:21:24,834
What we need is at least
2 ounces a hundred
to hit our goal.
372
00:21:29,834 --> 00:21:32,967
Hey, Framer, test the water.
373
00:21:32,967 --> 00:21:35,900
I gotta go through
check gauges right now,
and all that [bleep].
374
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:37,033
Yes.
375
00:21:39,433 --> 00:21:41,333
I'm just checking
on the plant right now.
376
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,567
We're running
the Lost Cut dirt,
377
00:21:43,567 --> 00:21:45,667
the first of the Lost Cut dirt
right now.
378
00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:47,667
And just making sure
everything's running properly
379
00:21:47,667 --> 00:21:49,200
so we get
a proper test on this.
380
00:21:50,433 --> 00:21:52,000
It's our last
little push right now
381
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,266
before the weather
kicks us out,
382
00:21:53,266 --> 00:21:54,567
so we wanna make sure
383
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:57,033
it's a perfect run.
384
00:22:00,133 --> 00:22:00,867
All right.
385
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,300
We really need to know
how much gold is in this pay.
386
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:08,000
Hopefully
before we're out of here,
we hit 1,000,
387
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,033
but I don't know.
388
00:22:09,033 --> 00:22:10,400
You know, this is gold mining,
389
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,567
so you never really know.
390
00:22:14,734 --> 00:22:16,800
Literally, the mine depends on
391
00:22:17,934 --> 00:22:21,734
this sticky, nasty pay dirt.
392
00:22:31,834 --> 00:22:34,000
We're on
pretty good ground.
393
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,166
Todd decided to pivot
over to the Lost Cut.
394
00:22:39,367 --> 00:22:41,767
This late in the season,
it could be a...
395
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,300
It could be
a really risky venture.
396
00:22:45,133 --> 00:22:48,900
We're taking resources
from no pay dirt.
397
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,600
It's gonna be
a little hectic and stressful.
398
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,033
The weather's changing.
Days are gonna get shorter
and colder.
399
00:22:55,033 --> 00:22:57,400
So we really,
really gotta pay attention
400
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,033
to what we're doing
and not mess things up.
401
00:22:59,734 --> 00:23:03,200
But I really think
Todd and Andy,
402
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,233
they wouldn't take a risk
if there wasn't a pretty good
chance of success.
403
00:23:10,634 --> 00:23:14,300
Really hoping
that I can knock this one
out of the park.
404
00:23:15,166 --> 00:23:16,600
Hopefully it doesn't go wrong.
405
00:23:34,767 --> 00:23:38,800
Yesterday we found
an alternator
up here at the pad.
406
00:23:39,533 --> 00:23:41,834
Never throw anything away.
407
00:23:41,834 --> 00:23:43,700
He was running the pump
late last night,
408
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:45,133
and I told him, I said,
"You know what?
409
00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:46,834
We'll just put it in
in the morning."
410
00:23:46,834 --> 00:23:49,867
So, today we're gonna put
that alternator in,
411
00:23:49,867 --> 00:23:51,634
test it, make sure
that it's working.
412
00:23:54,367 --> 00:23:56,400
It even has
the right pulley on it.
413
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,767
I don't even have to change
the pulley over.
414
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:03,100
Weather's coming.
Temperature's dropped a good
ten degrees here this week,
415
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:04,967
and we're gonna get shoved out
any day now.
416
00:24:05,767 --> 00:24:06,567
Here we go.
417
00:24:08,767 --> 00:24:12,066
So it's vitally important
that the Black Pearl
stays running
418
00:24:12,066 --> 00:24:13,300
at all costs.
419
00:24:14,033 --> 00:24:15,000
Come on.
420
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:19,166
Oh, you're already in there.
421
00:24:19,166 --> 00:24:21,567
If we're gonna hit any
of our goals,
422
00:24:21,567 --> 00:24:23,567
we gotta keep
the plants turning.
423
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:26,333
There we go.
424
00:24:26,333 --> 00:24:29,700
Am I gonna miss these days
where I have to come out here
425
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:32,967
and put [bleep] together
in the middle of the snow
and the rain and the ice?
426
00:24:33,433 --> 00:24:34,333
Not so much.
427
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:39,266
Got this new alternator
on there.
428
00:24:39,266 --> 00:24:40,667
- Just wanna test fire it.
- Yeah.
429
00:24:41,066 --> 00:24:41,900
Here we go.
430
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,400
So far so good.
431
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,200
So it's actually
sending voltage.
432
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,734
Let's go take
that battery cable off
433
00:24:51,734 --> 00:24:53,100
and see
if it's actually working.
434
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,700
There it is.
435
00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:58,066
We took the cable off.
436
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:00,166
It's still running.
437
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,200
Therefore
the alternator's working
438
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,867
because you've eliminated
all the voltage
from the battery.
439
00:25:05,867 --> 00:25:07,533
So now you're...
You're golden.
440
00:25:07,533 --> 00:25:09,600
You're putting out voltage.
441
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,767
So now with a generator
and a battery charger
and four other batteries,
442
00:25:13,233 --> 00:25:14,333
you're actually...
443
00:25:14,333 --> 00:25:17,233
You should be able to run
all day without any issues.
444
00:25:17,233 --> 00:25:18,533
Awesome. Thank you.
445
00:25:18,533 --> 00:25:19,667
- You're welcome.
- Thank you.
446
00:25:19,667 --> 00:25:20,867
This is a huge help.
447
00:25:20,867 --> 00:25:21,767
Yeah, no kidding.
448
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:23,367
Got it all fixed.
449
00:25:23,367 --> 00:25:25,800
But that doesn't mean
that there won't be
something else.
450
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,200
Okay, I guess
we'll fire her up then.
451
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,133
- You can run it now.
- Let's do it.
452
00:25:29,133 --> 00:25:32,533
There's just so many
thousand things
that can go wrong,
453
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,166
and they do.
454
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:37,200
We cannot afford
to be down anymore.
455
00:25:49,934 --> 00:25:51,934
I say let's set the bypass.
456
00:25:56,467 --> 00:25:58,667
Now
we're idling down the pump.
457
00:25:58,667 --> 00:26:02,634
Take it down to about 800 RPM,
let it cool down.
458
00:26:02,634 --> 00:26:05,333
That Barco
has been hammering all day.
459
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Shut the trommel down.
460
00:26:13,533 --> 00:26:17,266
After running
exactly 650 yards
of the Lost Cut...
461
00:26:17,266 --> 00:26:18,166
Big moment.
462
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:20,467
...the team is ready
to find out
463
00:26:20,467 --> 00:26:23,967
if their pivot to new pay dirt
was a wise decision.
464
00:26:25,467 --> 00:26:26,800
You see anything good in here?
465
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,033
Yeah.
466
00:26:28,033 --> 00:26:29,533
There's yellow stuff in there.
467
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,667
All kinds of gold in there.
468
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:36,800
So about ready
to pull mats
for the Lost Cut.
469
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,567
And I know it's a small test,
470
00:26:38,567 --> 00:26:41,600
but to me, this is
the biggest clean-up
of the season.
471
00:26:43,834 --> 00:26:45,200
- There was?
- Yeah.
472
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:48,200
This has gotta be
good gold
473
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,567
or we're in deep,
deep trouble as a mine.
474
00:27:19,133 --> 00:27:21,300
Dude, everything
is looking pretty good
over here.
475
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:23,200
It's looking pretty good.
476
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,867
And keep 'em running, baby.
477
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:27,367
Copy.
478
00:27:38,333 --> 00:27:40,066
This morning we got
the new part put on.
479
00:27:40,066 --> 00:27:41,767
So far so good.
480
00:27:41,767 --> 00:27:43,100
Sluice box looks good,
481
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:45,066
pump looks good,
482
00:27:45,066 --> 00:27:47,900
so just keeping a little bit
of a closer eye
on things today.
483
00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:51,467
Cleaning out really good.
484
00:27:52,767 --> 00:27:54,100
It's one
of those things,
it's like, say,
485
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:55,166
you get a new car
486
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,834
and it never breaks down.
487
00:27:57,834 --> 00:27:59,500
You know, after
the first breakdown,
488
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:01,000
you don't... You know,
you don't trust it
489
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,800
the way you did,
you know, initially.
490
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,834
I don't wanna push
this plant to its limit,
491
00:28:07,834 --> 00:28:09,233
I don't want it to break down
this season,
492
00:28:09,233 --> 00:28:11,600
but either way,
we need to get the yardage
493
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,033
or we're not gonna get
to 1,000.
494
00:28:13,033 --> 00:28:14,767
We don't know how much time
we have left.
495
00:28:14,767 --> 00:28:16,567
You know, we're at the mercy
of the elements here,
496
00:28:16,567 --> 00:28:18,800
so I'd rather leave here
sooner than later.
497
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:20,800
It's looking pretty good.
498
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,734
We're gonna check out
competitor's box,
499
00:28:29,734 --> 00:28:31,266
see if we're packing up.
500
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:34,300
That feels...
501
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:35,367
It looks pretty good.
502
00:28:35,367 --> 00:28:37,800
I don't see
any major leaks, so...
503
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,400
Just checking in
on the competitor,
504
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,867
see what we're dealing with
right now.
505
00:28:41,700 --> 00:28:44,767
And it's looking
not too shabby.
506
00:28:44,767 --> 00:28:48,567
Maybe could be
a little better,
but that's my opinion.
507
00:28:48,567 --> 00:28:51,634
If their pay turns out
to be more potent
than expected,
508
00:28:51,634 --> 00:28:53,033
everybody wins.
509
00:28:53,033 --> 00:28:54,100
We're a competition,
510
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:57,300
but if their Lost Cut
ends up being more,
511
00:28:57,300 --> 00:28:58,800
that's more than better, okay?
512
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,767
You know, I'm hearing
over the radio
513
00:29:06,767 --> 00:29:08,500
that my grandpa's testing out
514
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,233
some of the concentrate
that the Holy Roller ran
from the Lost Cut.
515
00:29:11,934 --> 00:29:13,834
And I'm hoping
that it's hotter
516
00:29:13,834 --> 00:29:15,767
than the last stuff
we were running.
517
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:17,433
So, we'll see.
518
00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:30,133
That's Lost Cut
they ran 650 yards.
519
00:29:30,133 --> 00:29:34,533
So that would mean
if we got 6-and-a-half ounces,
520
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:36,100
you're doing good.
521
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:41,066
If you get 12 ounces,
you're doing really good.
522
00:29:41,066 --> 00:29:43,667
You know? And if you get
more than 12,
523
00:29:43,667 --> 00:29:45,300
you're doing exceptional.
524
00:29:46,333 --> 00:29:48,266
So, yeah, it needs
to be screened, yeah?
525
00:29:48,533 --> 00:29:49,433
All right.
526
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:54,266
Running out of time.
It's starting to get cold.
527
00:29:54,266 --> 00:29:56,033
Things are gonna
keep falling out.
528
00:29:56,033 --> 00:29:58,000
So what we're doing
529
00:29:58,767 --> 00:30:00,734
is jumping to another spot.
530
00:30:00,734 --> 00:30:02,567
Sometimes that'll bit you
in the butt,
531
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:05,567
but it's not desperation,
532
00:30:05,567 --> 00:30:07,900
but it's the final hour,
if you might say.
533
00:30:08,867 --> 00:30:11,100
That's pretty nice gold
right there.
534
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:13,400
Yeah, I'll take that any day.
535
00:30:13,934 --> 00:30:15,934
So, all hands on deck.
536
00:30:16,667 --> 00:30:18,800
No sleep. Work, work.
537
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,700
So it's just the way it is.
538
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,734
Gosh, that looks good, though.
539
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:28,367
- Okay,
let's go weigh it.
- Okay.
540
00:30:30,133 --> 00:30:31,967
The Lost Cut
has to be good.
541
00:30:31,967 --> 00:30:33,767
It looks promising.
542
00:30:33,767 --> 00:30:35,600
But again,
that scale does not lie.
543
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,333
We'll weigh it up
and that will tell us
what we got,
544
00:30:38,333 --> 00:30:39,800
and hopefully it's good.
545
00:30:40,734 --> 00:30:42,400
See what Todd's got here.
546
00:30:48,767 --> 00:30:50,934
15.15 ounces.
547
00:30:51,667 --> 00:30:53,333
That's fantastic.
548
00:30:53,333 --> 00:30:58,333
Todd's made a wise decision
and he has to make this work.
549
00:31:00,433 --> 00:31:03,400
Todd, we got 15.15 ounces.
550
00:31:03,934 --> 00:31:06,433
2.4 ounces per 100.
551
00:31:09,767 --> 00:31:14,000
The Lost Cut weighed out
at 2.4 ounces per 100 yards.
552
00:31:15,166 --> 00:31:18,033
So actually,
I'm very excited about it.
553
00:31:18,033 --> 00:31:20,600
There's a real chance
we're gonna hit 1,000.
554
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,333
We're gonna run this lost cut
till all the pay
freezes up on us.
555
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,500
Over
at the Narrows of Dahl,
556
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:37,000
Tater continuous stacking pay
for the Black Pearl.
557
00:31:37,734 --> 00:31:39,266
How many
did we haul yesterday?
558
00:31:41,433 --> 00:31:42,200
Ten...
559
00:31:47,433 --> 00:31:50,433
Right now I got a lot
of emotions going on.
560
00:31:50,433 --> 00:31:52,767
It's always been
a dream of mine
to come up here and do this.
561
00:31:52,767 --> 00:31:55,300
Now I'm actually pulling
the gold out of the ground,
562
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,300
it kind of feels good.
563
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:58,734
Feels good to have the trust.
564
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,634
I can call myself
a gold miner.
565
00:32:02,567 --> 00:32:04,033
I'm really excited.
566
00:32:04,033 --> 00:32:07,200
When we run this dirt,
we'll know if I made
a mistake or not.
567
00:32:09,634 --> 00:32:12,133
This sluice box
is either gonna be
568
00:32:12,133 --> 00:32:14,000
yellow or barren.
569
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:16,433
If it's yellow,
570
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,600
oh, man,
I'm gonna be, gah, jumping.
571
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,033
You'll see me doing, like,
jumping jacks and cartwheels.
572
00:32:23,033 --> 00:32:24,033
It would be great.
573
00:32:25,433 --> 00:32:28,600
And if it's barren,
it falls all on me.
574
00:32:29,467 --> 00:32:30,700
There's a lot of pressure.
575
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:32,700
Hopefully it doesn't go wrong.
576
00:32:59,266 --> 00:33:04,233
With the lost cut
coming in
at 2.4 ounces per 100,
577
00:33:04,233 --> 00:33:06,800
this, I believe, is good news,
578
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,900
and this is actually
gonna turn our season
in the right direction.
579
00:33:23,133 --> 00:33:25,300
Go ahead and bring it
down to half idle.
580
00:33:26,934 --> 00:33:28,433
Bring it down to half.
581
00:33:28,433 --> 00:33:30,967
Now, Hunter
and his crew are ready to pull
582
00:33:30,967 --> 00:33:33,300
the Black Pearl's mats
for the week
583
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:35,934
and get their first glimpse
at how much gold
they could have
584
00:33:35,934 --> 00:33:37,166
from the Narrows of Dahl.
585
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,200
Let's just get into it,
rinse all these
586
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,800
and we'll have a fresh box
for tomorrow.
587
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,033
- Yeah.
- Okay.
588
00:33:43,033 --> 00:33:43,867
Let's rip it up.
589
00:33:49,934 --> 00:33:52,700
It's gonna be
a fat clean-up.
I'm feeling it, dude.
590
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:55,967
- Look at that.
- Yeah, that's...
591
00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:57,300
Bro.
592
00:33:57,300 --> 00:33:59,066
Have you checked
this line out?
593
00:33:59,066 --> 00:34:00,734
Despite
the blown alternator
594
00:34:00,734 --> 00:34:02,500
that threatened
a long shutdown,
595
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:05,133
the Black Pearl was able
to continue running,
596
00:34:05,133 --> 00:34:06,567
thanks to a Band-Aid fix
597
00:34:06,567 --> 00:34:09,467
and some resourcefulness
on Randy and Ron's part.
598
00:34:09,467 --> 00:34:12,734
It's a fix that could make
all the difference
in the gold room.
599
00:34:14,333 --> 00:34:15,734
That's the money.
600
00:34:15,734 --> 00:34:17,200
- That's what we love to see.
- It goes
all the way down.
601
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,634
Look. Boom, boom, boom, boom.
602
00:34:18,634 --> 00:34:19,834
Yup, we're loaded.
603
00:34:21,367 --> 00:34:23,634
We got a whole gold colony
right here.
604
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,867
You wanna go eat, Cub,
605
00:34:36,867 --> 00:34:38,400
and him cover you, or what?
606
00:34:40,834 --> 00:34:43,467
Uh, no we're gonna eat
when we shut down.
607
00:34:45,934 --> 00:34:47,767
One of the things
I miss the most
608
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:52,066
is being able to just drive
and go get food.
609
00:34:55,867 --> 00:34:58,066
Sometimes
we gotta eat just Pop Tarts.
610
00:34:58,066 --> 00:34:59,200
That's how it is.
611
00:35:09,934 --> 00:35:12,233
I... We need to eat more.
612
00:35:13,567 --> 00:35:15,734
Sucks these things are gone
in, like, two bites.
613
00:35:15,734 --> 00:35:17,734
You can't eat parts of trees,
614
00:35:17,734 --> 00:35:19,634
forage for mushrooms.
615
00:35:19,634 --> 00:35:21,500
I wanna [bleep] eat
a big piece of steak.
616
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:23,433
Right now
I'm gonna eat some pie,
617
00:35:23,433 --> 00:35:26,033
get some coffee
and get out of here, okay?
618
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,033
Hey, Jack,
you gotta see this. Come here.
619
00:35:54,867 --> 00:35:56,367
Look at all that gold
in there.
620
00:35:56,367 --> 00:35:58,934
Yeah. Okay.
621
00:35:58,934 --> 00:36:02,066
We've got Tater's dirt
from the Narrows of Dahl,
622
00:36:02,066 --> 00:36:04,166
You know,
he's been digging that.
623
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:06,400
And hopefully it's good,
you know.
624
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,333
I... We gotta have
some good days, you know?
625
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:10,767
And hopefully
this is one of them.
626
00:36:11,667 --> 00:36:15,033
So here's where
our concentrate comes out
627
00:36:15,033 --> 00:36:16,266
of the duplex jig.
628
00:36:16,634 --> 00:36:17,834
There's, oh,
629
00:36:17,834 --> 00:36:21,634
probably about $30,000
worth of gold
in this one bucket.
630
00:36:22,433 --> 00:36:23,834
Pretty cool.
631
00:36:23,834 --> 00:36:26,266
I think Tater did a good job.
632
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,667
Now the Narrows
of Dahl is...
633
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:38,066
It's good.
634
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,900
It's just not good enough
for me.
635
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:44,533
If you only have
this material to run, run it.
636
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:47,834
But if you have
the Lost Cut material,
637
00:36:47,834 --> 00:36:49,734
run that,
that's your best material.
638
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:52,200
Be smart, you know.
639
00:36:53,233 --> 00:36:56,200
Time is of the essence,
you know.
640
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,266
And... And...
641
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,033
I probably know that
better than anybody.
642
00:37:01,033 --> 00:37:06,033
The reason that I know it
is because I'm gonna
be 77 this year.
643
00:37:06,033 --> 00:37:08,200
My time's running out,
you know.
644
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,433
And I wanna get a lot of gold.
645
00:37:25,667 --> 00:37:27,700
Guys,
this was a big week.
646
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:30,634
What's in the lost cut,
that's the future.
647
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,400
Yeah.
648
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,266
In order
to stay on track
to hit their 1,000-ounce goal,
649
00:37:35,266 --> 00:37:37,266
the Hoffmans need
a combined total
650
00:37:37,266 --> 00:37:40,066
of at least 121 ounces
this week.
651
00:37:41,333 --> 00:37:42,500
How about you guys?
652
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:43,900
No major issues
653
00:37:43,900 --> 00:37:46,600
and just running consistently.
654
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,500
But there is gold in it,
you know?
655
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:50,634
Every day we shut down,
there was gold
in the box, so...
656
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,500
Either you're
really tired, Jack,
657
00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:58,600
- or that looks
pretty heavy... Oh.
- Oh.
658
00:37:58,600 --> 00:37:59,900
Set that down again.
659
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:01,000
I wanna hear that.
660
00:38:02,867 --> 00:38:03,667
Wow, that is...
661
00:38:03,667 --> 00:38:05,367
Well...
662
00:38:05,367 --> 00:38:08,066
Oh,
that sounded heavier,
I don't know.
663
00:38:08,934 --> 00:38:10,166
Sounded pretty heavy.
664
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,133
All right, 101 last week.
665
00:38:12,133 --> 00:38:14,000
They're the winners.
They go first.
666
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,700
Okay, you're gonna
count it out, Spark.
667
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:16,567
I got you.
668
00:38:17,166 --> 00:38:18,500
Let's see how Tater did.
669
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,200
Oh.
670
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,934
Five, ten,
671
00:38:25,367 --> 00:38:27,266
15, 20,
672
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:29,300
25, 30,
673
00:38:31,567 --> 00:38:32,967
35,
674
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,867
40,
675
00:38:35,533 --> 00:38:37,066
45,
676
00:38:38,166 --> 00:38:40,333
46.1.
677
00:38:40,333 --> 00:38:42,567
- So, we did better
than last week.
- Nice.
678
00:38:42,567 --> 00:38:45,567
I mean, it's 80 grand.
I mean, I'm happy with it.
679
00:38:45,567 --> 00:38:47,033
Awesome.
680
00:38:47,033 --> 00:38:49,367
- Tater, I just wanna
say thank you.
- Yeah, you're welcome, man.
681
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:52,834
Tater really came in clutch
and helped us to get gold.
682
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:55,233
Like, at the end of the day,
we wanted to have
a competition,
683
00:38:55,233 --> 00:38:57,000
but it's like we're all
on the same team.
684
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,533
Okay, what do we got?
685
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:01,200
Okay, go for it.
686
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,900
In order to hit
their weekly target
of 121 ounces,
687
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:07,066
Todd needs their gold-rich
lost cut
688
00:39:07,066 --> 00:39:09,467
to bring in
at least 75 ounces.
689
00:39:10,467 --> 00:39:12,333
- Hey, Jack.
- Yeah.
690
00:39:13,533 --> 00:39:15,033
We'll need the big one.
691
00:39:15,033 --> 00:39:17,367
- Now we're talking.
- Now we're talking.
692
00:39:18,166 --> 00:39:18,967
All right.
693
00:39:21,266 --> 00:39:23,834
Fifteen, 20, 25,
694
00:39:24,934 --> 00:39:26,567
30, 35,
695
00:39:27,567 --> 00:39:30,600
40, 45, 50, 55,
696
00:39:31,467 --> 00:39:34,567
60, 65, 70,
697
00:39:36,867 --> 00:39:38,767
75,
698
00:39:39,834 --> 00:39:41,200
78, 79,
699
00:39:42,133 --> 00:39:45,367
79.9.
700
00:39:45,367 --> 00:39:48,600
- Now we're talking.
- There we go. Yeah.
701
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,033
That's what, $135,000?
702
00:39:52,033 --> 00:39:54,000
- That's pretty good. Just us.
- Yeah.
703
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,133
Okay, what is that?
How many ounces?
704
00:39:56,133 --> 00:39:58,100
For the week, it's 126.
705
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:00,500
Boom. We hit that 121 level.
706
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:01,634
Right.
707
00:40:01,634 --> 00:40:04,033
Okay. Now what's our total?
708
00:40:04,033 --> 00:40:07,967
Her grand total is 762...
709
00:40:07,967 --> 00:40:09,266
Dude.
710
00:40:09,266 --> 00:40:10,166
All right.
711
00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:13,500
This week,
the Hoffmans produced
712
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:16,400
a total of 126 ounces of gold,
713
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,433
bringing their running tally
up to 762.
714
00:40:20,433 --> 00:40:24,166
The Hoffmans now need
238 more ounces of gold
715
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:27,166
to reach their season goal
of 1,000 ounces.
716
00:40:29,634 --> 00:40:32,567
We're close to getting
our goal of 1,000.
717
00:40:32,567 --> 00:40:33,767
It's hard to believe.
718
00:40:38,266 --> 00:40:39,500
You're a sweet man.
719
00:40:40,767 --> 00:40:41,667
We love you.
720
00:40:43,967 --> 00:40:45,600
Don't cry on camera.
721
00:40:46,166 --> 00:40:46,900
It's real.
722
00:40:48,266 --> 00:40:49,500
It's super hard
out here.
723
00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:51,600
I know we're all tired,
we're all worn down,
724
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,400
but none of us are gonna leave
until we get 1,000 ounces.
725
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,467
So however we gotta do it,
726
00:40:55,467 --> 00:40:57,800
if I gotta keep getting
40-ounce clean-ups,
727
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,433
well, that's what
we're gonna do
728
00:40:59,433 --> 00:41:01,033
because we're already close.
729
00:41:01,934 --> 00:41:03,100
- I agree.
- Really close.
730
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:05,333
We're gonna run the wheels
off that Black Pearl.
731
00:41:05,333 --> 00:41:08,233
I don't care if we gotta
burn body fat for fuel,
732
00:41:08,233 --> 00:41:09,166
we're gonna do it.
733
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:10,233
Good.
734
00:41:10,934 --> 00:41:12,700
Everybody else feel
that same way?
735
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:14,233
- Yeah.
- Absolutely.
736
00:41:14,233 --> 00:41:15,500
We got a big week.
737
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:18,500
Let's tackle this next week.
Let's do
another one like this.
738
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:19,400
Okay.
739
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,800
All right, guys, let's go.
