[Tony]

[Paul] Klondike Kingpin,
Tony Beets

is fighting to save
his season.

After a chaotic start,

he's looking to make
up for lost time.

[Tony]

[Paul] Tony has son,
Mike, running his
Paradise Hill trommel 24x7.

We know at the end,
goal is, me and my dad
are doing the best we can

to get done.

It all depends on how
you act in a crisis, right?

[Paul] Forty miles away,
at the Indian River,

daughter, Monica,

is in charge of Tony's
brand-new $800,000 wash plant,

Sir Sluice-A-Lot.

It's pretty nice to finally
see a boxer

and hopefully, this one
lasts more than a week

because this season
has been [bleep].

[Paul] With two
operations running,

Tony's ready to break
out his secret weapon.

[Tony]

[Paul] Tony's legendary,
84-year-old dredge

is a gold-catching behemoth.

He purchased it nine years ago

and spent millions restoring
the 350-ton monster.

A line of 72 buckets

pulled paydirt from beneath
the water

and feed it
to an onboard trommel

that washes the dirt

and deposits the gold
in two main sluice runs.

The biggest advantage
of the dredge,

it needs just two people
to operate,

making it the cheapest
way to mine

and Tony's best option
of hitting 2,500 ounces

without spending
millions more.

[Tony]

[Len] Over here.

[Paul] To get the dredge
up and running...

-Yes.
-Yes, it is.

[Paul] ...Tony's called
in Greg Mason,

one of the best dredge masters
in North America.

[Paul] Helping out,
trusted Lieutenant,
Len Hoekstra,

and electrician,
James Mackrell.

Hopefully, we can get
this up and running.

[Paul] The first hurdle,

starting up
the dredge's generator,

that's sat idle
for five seasons.

[Tony]

[James] All right.
Let's see what happens.

[motor starts]

[Len]

Yeah.

Let's check a couple
of things before
we go boom again.

Interesting.

That's a big jump.

That's gonna be hard
on a regulator every time.

[Tony]

[James] Yeah.

[Paul] The generator
has short-circuited

causing the regulator to blow.

[Tony]

If that generator is not
producing uh,
enough power

for the dredge, then it's
the end of the season
for the dredge,

and then, we have to start
up again next season.

-Start it up.
-[James] I'll get the honor.

[motor whirs, starts]

When we push this one...

[motor starts]

[Greg] Okay.

-[Len] That's good.
-[Greg] Yeah.

[Len] There it goes.

Generator seems
to be working fine.

[Tony]

We can start up
the stack of the trommel
and the bucket line.

Let's see what happens.

Trommel, coming on.

We have no control
from up here right now.

[Len] Maybe, it's just
something stupid we forgot
about that we have to

do one switch somewhere
and then, it will run.

Play it in off position
for five seconds
to reset the starter.

[James] Yeah. Let's see
what happens.

That's all we can do.
Try it again.

[Greg] Trommel, coming on.

[motor whirs]

[Len] There we go.

[Greg] Looking okay. So far.

Stacker coming on.

All right, stacker is running.

[Greg] Yep. Looks good.

Okay. Here comes
the bucket line.

Yay! We got her.

[motor whirring]

[Tony]

-We did it.
-We did it.

At least, we got
her running today.

So, that's good.

This is more or less
gas without a load,
so the big test is

when we start dredging,

then we got paydirt in
the buckets,
that's the big test.

[Paul] If the dredge
can start sluicing for
the first time in five years,

Tony will be back in
with a shot

of hitting his new
2,500-ounce gold.

[Tony]

[Parker] That's it for
Australia Creek this season.

The last clean-up.

I hope there's some
gold in here.

[Paul] 29-year-old
Parker Schnabel

is at a pivotal point
in his season.

After mining out
the 11-acre Boomerang Cut,

he's calling time on
his Australia Creek operation.

-Well, there we go.
-Yeah.

Time to start tearing
her apart,
getting her home and

-see what's up at Dominion
for us.
-Yeah.

It'll be a good way to finish
off the season,
finish it off strong

and let's get this washplant
out there

-and go see what's going on
with the new one.
-Yeah.

See you later, Sluicifer.

[Parker] We pretty well
smashed the 5,000-ounce
target we had,

which is good,
but we're gonna be

financially in a very big hole
for several years.

[Paul] Hoping to pay down
a big chunk of the $15 million
purchase price

for Dominion Creek,

Parker wants the team
to hit a new goal,

7,000 ounces.

So, we're about four weeks
out from the end of the season
and end of sluicing.

We're done at Australia Creek.

But now, it's just, you know,

the new plant.

But then, we also need
to keep investing
in the ground.

Right now, we just need to go
to work and get stripping
for next season.

[Paul] To get a jump
on next season,

Parker has most of his crew
stripping a new 40-acre cut,

putting the success
of this season

solely on one washplant,

his new million-dollar
shaker deck,

Rocksanne.

He needs it to run 24x7

and mine out ten acres
of gold-rich ground

left in the money pit

before winter freezes
them out.

Well, we are trying to get
the money pit finished here.

We gotta keep just,
trying to get as much of this
done here as fast as possible.

[Paul] Foreman Mitch Blaschke

is in charge of Parker's
remaining sluicing crew.

We're just losing
a lot of time.

Machinery wearing down,
wearing out.

People being tired and uh...

we just gotta get
to the finish line here.

-[Mitch] How's it going, man?
-[Parker] Good. How are you?

Uh, doing pretty good.

Tyson just wrapped up down
there at Australia Creek.

Well, I'm looking forward to
some operators down here
'cause we've been stretched.

Well, you're not going
to get them.

I mean, we could use some
help down here.

We really need to get
the stripping going
for next year.

-That's the big push for me.
-Yeah.

What I'm worried about
is, like, the sluicing that
we still have to do

and you know,
the season's coming
to an end here

-sooner than we think.
-I know. I know.

I don't want you to feel like
you're not getting supported,

but I hope that you can see
it from my standpoint where

we do have to really start
to gain ground at stripped.

And, if we don't get
it done this fall,

and it's all frozen
in the spring,

we're gonna spend
hundreds of thousands
of dollars extra ripping it.

I get the idea with
the stripping, like,

next year me will really
appreciate it, but right now,
not so much.

-I get it.
-All right, man.

-Sorry I can't be
more help.
-We'll make it work.

Typical Parker fashion,
"Hey, we need to do this.

Ugh, you might not
have enough equipment
or enough people, but...

figure it out, make it happen.

Not only finish
the sluicing here,
but huge projects

for stripping ground
for next season
at the same time."

Ugh, hopefully,
this doesn't bite us
in the ass.

It's a pretty chill day today.
Just me feeding the plant.

Me gaining this little
relationship I have with
this damn thing. [laughs]

[Paul] First year Schnabel
crew operator,

Sandy Dubois,

loads washplant, Rocksanne's,
hopper with paydirt.

I feel like I'm doing
pretty good, not bad.

I think I'm pretty proud
of my progress.

So, that's pretty
right on, man.

This plant is moving
the sluicing pretty fast.

[Paul] Meanwhile,
fellow operator,
Tatiana Costa,

moves coarse tailings
from the end
of the washplant.

It's been good for Sandy
to build her confidence,
she's been doing really good.

And, while Sandy can feed,

I can work
on different projects,

so then things can go
a lot faster.

[machine whirring]

[bleep] was that!

Hey, shut it down!
Shut the plant down!

[grunts]

[Mitch] We'll see what's
going on.

[Paul] In the money pit
at Dominion Creek,

Parker Schnabel's only
running washplant, Rocksanne,

has ground to a halt.

[Mitch] This thing pile
up a bunch of [bleep]
down here.

Oh, it's got a big rock
in it and that's why
it's stopped.

You see that right there?

Grab some shovels.
Get this thing cleaned out.

All right. Now, our conveyor
here, that's doing
the tailings, piled up.

Uh, it's got a big rock down
the tail wheel so we gotta get
that cleared down there.

Let her dig that side out
and hopefully, we can get in
there with a bar or,

shovel and peel that rock out.

[Paul] Mitch struggles
to access the jammed rock.

So, Sandy brings in
a mini hope
to speed up the process.

[Mitch] The bad thing here,
is our washplant right now

is shut down
and it's cold out.

We gotta get this thing
back running.

[Paul] If Mitch can't
get the plant back
running fast,

its waterlines could
freeze solid.

Once we get it freed up,
hopefully, this thing will
start spinning again.

It's a big rock.

Come on.

-There it is.
-There he goes.

[Mitch] Yeah, I can see
right there.

There's the rubber mark
where it's been wearing on it.

-Yeah.
-[Mitch] Oh, we got
the rock removed.

And, the belt's looking okay,
so I think we got
really lucky here.

I'm gonna try and roll
the belt here, see if we can
get this thing cleared.

[Sandy] Okay!

[Mitch] Come on, baby.

There we go.

Whoo!

That's the [bleep].

[Mitch] Here we go.

[Paul] Rocksanne
is back on the gold
in under an hour...

[Mitch] All right. All right.
We're back up and running.

[Paul] ...keeping
Parker's hopes
of 7,000 ounces alive.

[Mitch] Hopefully,
that's the last time
needs to shut down today.

Where it's as late in
the season and we're not
gonna make our gold at all,

the way things are looking
right now.

We ran out of pay,
I know we won't have enough
to finish this season.

We could easily add 500 ounces

to our total if we could
find some ground.

[Paul] Nine miles southwest,
at Eureka Creek,

hotspot miner,
Brian McCaughan,

and sons, 22-year-old Gage,

and 24-year-old Bryce,

have bagged 1,275 ounces,

225 short

of their 1,500-ounce target.

[Brian] There's pressure.
Tons of pressure.

I'm feeling it.
Usually, I don't feel it.

We need that 1,500.
We need it.

If we don't come up with
something here, we're dead.
We're dead in the water.

[Gage] It's getting
later in the season

and yeah, I'm uh,
running out of pay.

Trying to make our goal,
it's gonna be a bit
of a pain so,

we need to come up
with a few ideas.

[Sharon] We gotta hit some
rich spots to pay bills

'cause we gotta make sure
there's enough money to pay
the fuel, to pay employees.

I'm just praying now
it all works out in the end,

and we can finish off
on a positive note

for the rest of the season.

[Paul] The McCaughan's
latest hotspot,

The Red Cut,
is almost mined out.

To keep his season alive,

Brian needs to find
a new honey hole.

I got an idea of
a couple spots.

Guess I'll call Gage over.

Do some prospect
and see what's up here
'cause we need to know

and I could use a hand.

Down here, we checked
last year, there's nothing.

But, I never went on top
'cause you see our
Red Cut height,

our Red Cut height out here
is the exact same height
as that.

So, this probably
just cut out,

but it just makes sense
that it would be here, but

we haven't found it yet.

Let's roll.

[Paul] This season,
the McCaughans have hit
two hotspots at Eureka Creek,

The Deep Cut

and the Red Cut.

Now, Brian and Gage are on
the hunt for another hotspot

200 yards across from
the Red Cut,

where they hope the same
pay streak continues

and runs close to the surface
giving them easy access

to gold.

Clean this [bleep] up.
We'll check what's on bedrock.

We're gonna a couple
of test spins.

I'd really like to see
three out of four
end with gold in it.

Six small colors,
we'll run it through
the washplant.

[Paul] To locate
the pay streak,

Brian will dig four
test holes, where he thinks
it continues.

You hitting gravel, bud.

Keep going.

-Bedrock!
-[Brian] Yep.

We move on to our next one.

[Paul] Son, Gage,
continues to dig three more
test holes.

It's dollar signs
in them rocks.

It's looking good.

I've called Bryce
for some help.

He can hammer out
a bunch of pans.

I'll take a sample
out of your bucket.

See how blocky this is?
This is where I think
that stuff's in.

Okay. Let's go check
it out, man.

First pan.
Let's see what we got here.

Gage [bleep].

Like, nothing.

We need to find something
here or we're screwed.

Let's do a second one.

The next hole,
let's hope to actually
see more gold.

I only got a couple of colors.

[Gage] Uh, you got
something at least.

[Brian] Certainly nothing
to get excited about.
That I wouldn't wash.

[Paul] Son, Bryce,
tests the third hole.

It's not bad.

Kinda looks like close to ten.

-[Brian] Ten? So, my two
or three and you're ten?
-One, two, three, four, five--

[Brian] Oh,
this is borderline.

He's got one more pan
on there, you wanna
grab it?

Pan number four. Final hole.

-[Bryce] Is that a chunky?
-What! Oh, boy! [laughs]

Check it! That ain't fine
gold, holy [bleep].

-That's a 100 for sure.
-At least.

That's unbelievable,
that's a, holy...

Look at the size of that.

Yeah, that's three
out of four, man.

If this whole plateau
happens to have gold
like this in it,

this actually could save
our season.

Okay, boys. We're doing it.
We're gonna go after it.

We're gonna get two or three
trucks pumping here tomorrow.

Man, we could get this,

this 1,500 isn't out
of the picture at all.

[Tony]

It's making electricity, huh?

[Paul] Tony Beets
is desperate
to rescue his season.

At Paradise Hill,
he's running his trommel

and at Indian River,
his new washplant,

Sir Sluice-A-Lot.

But, to stand any chance
of hitting his new
2,500-ounce target,

he's firing up his dredge
for the first time
in five years.

[Tony]

It will.

[Paul] The dredge needs
to be moved into its first
dredging position

and attached to anchor points.

We gotta use two doses
for anchor.

We got a 700

excavator for anchor
and we gonna use the loader
for the other anchor.

[Paul] The dredge will be
connected with steel cables

to four heavy machines
on the banks
of the dredge pond,

winches on the deck,
then pull the 350-tonne
dredge into position.

And, swing it in an arc
from left to right

allowing the bucket line
at the front

to dig out gold rich paydirt.

So, already got that dozer
over there.

So, I have to connect
the cable to it.

And then,
I'll put a rope over there

and maybe use the cat
to get it over there.

[Paul] The last
three-quarters-of-a-ton

two-inch thick steel cable

has been stretched across
the pond.

And, still needs to be
hauled the final 50 yards

up a steep overgrown berm

to reach its anchor point,

the D6 Dozer.

I'm here to hook her on
to a rope that Len's throwing
down over the berm there,

so I can hook it on
to the cable to get it up
to the dozer.

Yeah!

Got it.

Okay, Len!

Me and Len can't pull
on the cable by hand.
So, he's going to uh,

fire up the dozer, hook onto
this rope and then, hopefully,
pull this cable up to him.

You can keep going forward.

Oh [bleep].

So, we tried the rope
and it didn't work.

So, I think I'm gonna try
it with the excavator.

It's got a little risk that
I will sink it.

[Paul] Len decides to abandon
the rope and use the bucket
arm of an excavator

chained to the cable

to haul it up the steep berm.

But, to get in position,

the 55-ton 700

has to cross soft ground.

[Len] Because we can see
the excavator sinking
a little bit.

-[Greg] Okay, Len.
-[Len] Yeah.

[Greg] Yeah, that should
do it, Len.

Beautiful.

There we go.

Now, the winch cable
on the dredge is connected
to the dozer.

[Tony]

[Len] I think if we go
forward, we got it.

[Tony] That looks good.

[Greg] Yes, sir.

[Greg] Yeah.

[Len] Should we need
a bottle of Champagne
and uh...

I'm so excited, I could just

-piss my pants.
-[laughs]

So, I'm going to start
up the trommel.

[Tony]

[Greg] Stacker coming on.

[Len] All right,
stackers running.

[Greg] Here we go.
We got some water coming.

Okay, here comes
the bucket line.

[Paul] After five years,
Tony's dredge is finally
catching much needed gold

once again.

Right now,
we're really struggling with
just having enough personnel

and enough big equipment
down at the money pit to keep
up with everything.

[Paul] At Dominion Creek's
money pit,

foreman Mitch Blaschke
is sluicing 250 yards an hour

with Parker's only
running washplant,

Rocksanne.

But, with most of the crew
already stripping ahead

for next season,

he's feeling the pinch.

[Mitch] I understand where
Parker's coming from,

getting the ground opened
up for next year.

But, right now,
with what we got
in front of us,

uh, I could sure use the help.

In every plant, there is
a build-up of tailings
at the ends.

[Paul] Tatiana Costa
is on double duty,

clearing tailings

and feeding Rocksanne
with paydirt.

[Tatiana] Yeah, I'm alone
running the plant.

It's important to keep
on top of the tailings,
otherwise they can

cause a jam on the plant
and we'd have to stop.

What the [bleep] was that!

Oh [bleep].

Hey, Taylor, you copy, Taylor?

[Taylor] Yeah, go ahead.

I have a bad flat tire
right now um,

I need you to come
with a new tire and uh, yeah.

It's urgent.

[Taylor] Okay. I'll be out
there soon.

Okay. See you soon.

[Mitch] You know,
right now we got our only
loader down here.

So, we need to shut her down.

[Paul] With the only
loader available

to feed the plant
and clear tailings
out of action,

Mitch has no choice,
but to shut down Rocksanne
once again.

[Mitch] This is not good.

[Tatiana] Nacho! Hi, buddy.

[Paul] At the money pit,

Parker Schnabel's
one-plant operation

is shut down

because of a broken loader,

putting his push
to 7,000 ounces on hold.

What is this?

[Tatiana] Uh, yeah.
We have a flat tire here.

-You can't run it like that?
-[laughs] No. I need you...

-Okay.
-...to very kindly
fix it for me urgently.

Okay, I can do that,
urgently and everything.

Awesome. Thanks. [laughs]

[Taylor] The rim started
spinning inside the tire

and the tire caused
these serrations on the rim
to really flatten out.

These are supposed to grip it
so that exactly
does not happen.

It'd be a pretty difficult

ask to try and get a new tire

on this rim.

I think that one's toast.

If we put a new tire on it,
we're gonna have the same
thing happen again.

So, it's unfortunate but,

we do have some extra
rims and lots of tires.

And, we'll just get
her elevated,
buzz all the nuts off,

crane the tire off,
crane the new one on.

Stick the nuts on.

Bob's your uncle.

Right now, there's no loader
feeding the plant.
They're shut down.

So, you know,

it's very important I get
this tire changed
as quick as I can

so we can get her back up
and running.

I'm just lining the tire up.

We'll put all 30 nuts on.

Drop it down. Torque them up.

Put the caps on
and there we go.

We're off to the races.

Uh, Tatiana,
you got a copy. Tatiana?

[Tatiana] Copy.

Yeah, you're loader's good
to go here, if you wanna come,

come grab her.

[Tatiana on radio]Awesome. Thank you.

Oh, look at that new tire.

-There we go.
Ready to roll for you.
-[laughs]

[Tatiana] Awesome.
Thank you so much.

-You've been itching
for ...so, anyway.
-[laughs] Yeah.

-There she is.
Be good to her.
-Awesome. Thank you.

I will.

[Mitch] Taylor was able to get
the loader fixed,

so we're just getting ready
to fire the washplant
back up here.

Here we go!

[Paul] The rapid fix
of the loader

means that Rocksanne,
has been shut down

for under an hour.

It's awesome Taylor got
the loader fixed

pretty fast and uh, hopefully,
we'll finish sluicing
pretty soon

and the loaders can rest
for the rest of the season.

So, mining for us is all
about treasure hunting.

And, I'm up on this
freaking bench

looking for it again
and so far,

it's looking really good.

[Paul] At Eureka Creek,
Brian McCaughan is running
paydirt from his new hotspot,

the Cash Cut,

in the hope of saving
his season.

I'm pretty much gonna take
the trommel from 100 yards
per hour to 200

and we're gonna pound it
through the plant,
check the sluice runs and hope

there's at least an ounce
a hundred.

Anything above that,

I'll tell you what,

it's gonna make our life
a lot easier

and we're gonna breathe
a lot easier.

[Gage] Definitely rewarding
already hauling pay.

We have very minimal
stripping, it's just,

tearing off the trees,
pretty much,
a little bit of soil.

Gage is working hard
up in the Cash Cut.

He's uh, bringing down
truck after truck

and uh, see what kind
of gold's out there.

[Paul] Greenhorn operator,
Jason Demich,

loads pay into the McCaughan's
trommel, McMitus.

You can see the wear
and tear on everybody,

but not one individual
is giving up.

[heavy thudding]

[bleep] Hey, Brian.
I gotta shut down
the plant here.

[metal creaking]

[Paul] Jason's
excavator bucket

has knocked the hopper
off its mount

and it's fallen flush
against the trommel drum.

[Brian] Jason,
give the lowdown
on how this happened.

I grabbed that wet stuff.

Come around, it was sloshing.

I went to dump a little,
it sloshed down, I went
to pull back

and I caught the lip on the...

thing.

So, here we are.
We gotta lift the freaking
box up,

pull it back,
get it into position.

It'll get double chained again

and maybe, we'll stop
hitting the freaking
feeder box.

[Paul] The three-ton Hopper

is attached to the trommel
at its base,

with two struts held in
with pins.

But, the impact ripped
it clean off.

Brian's fix,

lift the Hopper
using an excavator,

line it up with the struts,

re-insert the pins.

Then, attach chains
to the base to secure
it into position.

To have lost hours
is just killing us.

It's like, my guts are turning

and I'm not [bleep] happy.

Okay.

Should be good
to come down slowly.

Right there.

There, you're coming through.

[Gage] Dad, come my way
a little bit.

And then, just go on
the outside and give it
a light little push.

And, it should just
pin right in.

Jason's there strapping it in,
putting pressure forward,

so it can, you know,
it won't pop out as easy
without us noticing.

I feel like crap,
of course, but...

Yeah, but that's bad, man.

Oh, you gave me those
puppy dog eyes now [bleep].

All right.
It won't happen again.

Okay, get this thing
spinning, man.
We gotta make some money.

Let's go.

-Thanks, boys.
-Good job.

[Paul] The McCaughans
are back up and running
Cash Cut pay,

but only time will tell
if it holds the gold

to save their season.

Pretty happy.
All things considered,
it could always be worse.

Is that Len? Len, you're going
in the water.

Oh, he's coming up
the bucket line.

What the heck are you doing?

[Len] Got something
for you, Greg.

[Greg] Let me grab it.

I got it. Can you make it?

What do we got here, Len?
Wow, look at that, huh?

Little lunch. That's awesome.

An apple for you.

Sandwich for me.

Ooh!

-I don't know what it is,
but it looks good. [laughs]
-That looks pretty good.

I thought we should
have a nice lunch together.

That's a great idea. That...

I wish I would've thought
about it.

You're not that
kind of guy, Greg?
You only think about yourself.

[laughs]

-What's up? See?
-Weigh time.

We get to check out
the Cash Cut.

[Paul] At Eureka Creek,

the McCaughan family
are gathering to weigh
their first two days

running the new Cash Cut.

I mean, we didn't know
it was there.

And, we didn't notice the odd.

We didn't know it had
almost zero overburden,

so if we get an ounce an hour
out of this, we'll be tickled.

-Almost a 14.
-Fourteen hours.

So, we need
at least 14 ounces.

-Who wants to do the honors?
-I'll pour. Bryce, count.

Let's see it.

Here we go, guys.

One, two, three.

Fifteen, twenty.

Thirty, 41.8.

Whoa!

That's just under
three ounces an hour

with no stripping and thawed,
at this time of year,

holy [bleep], boys!
[bleep] hammer!

[Paul] The 41.8 ounces
is worth almost $85,000,

taking their season total

to 1,317 ounces.

So, really,
we could keep washing until

we completely freeze out
till the pond's done.

So, our season's now longer,
we have more pay.

This could be just
unbelievable for us.

I'm like, blown away.

We're averaging a third
of an ounce per 100 here
and this is three?

So, this is beautiful, guys.
This gives us the green light
to hammer down.

There's no way we're stopping
up there, that's for sure.
This is just a super deal.

Hey, what's going on?

This is pretty good.
Check out the number.

Okay, you have to talk
in layman terms for me.

What does it mean an hour?
That's what I understand.

-2.92 ounces per 100. [laughs]
-Wow!

Good instincts.
Whose instinct was this?

-The idea guy.
-Dad? Dad's instinct?

Okay. I'm not gonna get
too excited yet, we don't
wanna jinx anything.

So, hard work ahead of us.

-Let's get her.
-[Sharon] Okay.

-Hi, guys.
Oh, we have some newbies.
-Newbies. Yeah.

It's exciting, huh?

-[Minnie] I'm glad
somebody's excited.
-[laughs]

[Paul] At Paradise Hill,
the Beets are meeting
for their first gold weigh,

running three washplants

including the historic dredge.

Yeah.

And again... [bleep]

Yeah, no, no, it was.

[Minnie] Yeah, did
Sluice-A-Lot sluice a lot?

The new plant,
Sluice-A-Lot ran all week,
it's pretty good.

It's nice having a plant
running there again.

[Tony]

So, you building quite
a stockpile by there
by the trommel there.

The plant's not chewing
through the dirt as fast as
they're bringing it right now,

so might as well
pile it up there.

What do you wanna weigh
out first? I got three dryers.

[Tony]

I think, only two days now.

-Weight it.
One of you guys count.
-Yeah, let's do it.

[Paul] For two days running,

Tony's hoping the dredge
will deliver at least
20 ounces.

[Len] Two ounces,
five ounces, 15.

Final is 22.56 ounces.

[Paul] Worth over $40,000.

That's what we set.
One ounce an hour, so
it's pretty, pretty close.

[Minnie] The cost
of running it is cheap.

[Minnie] So, next stop
is Sluice-A-Lot?

-[Monica] So, who's counting?
Okay. Are you ready?
-I'm counting.

[Paul] Sir Sluice-A-Lot
has run all week
at The Indian River

and should be bringing
in 200 ounces.

Ten, 20, 40, 50.

One hundred, 120,
140, 180, 184.36.

Sluice-A-Lot sluiced a lot.

[Minnie] Yeah.

[Paul] Dialed in at 300 yards
per hour, 24x7,

on Paradise Hill,

the trommel should bring
in around 400 ounces.

Twenty, 30, 40,

80, 100, 120, 130,

150, 180, 190.

205.22.

[Minnie] That's not great
for 24x7, is it?

[Tony]

So, this week we did about
412 ounces.

[Paul] Bringing
their season total

to 1,669 ounces.

[Tony]

-[Minnie] Bye, guys.
-Buh-bye!

[Len] We shall go make
you more gold.

[Minnie] Nice to see
the dredge's going
finally, yeah?

[Minnie] Nobody else has one.

And, a lot cheaper.

[Tony]

-[Parker] Hi, Chris.
-Hey, Parker.

How's it going?

-It's going.
-Going? Yeah.

[Chris] That time of year,
kinda going.

So, Tyson. You finished up
Australia Creek, yeah?

-[Tyson] Yeah, I did.
-You guys did do a good job
in there.

-[Tyson] Thanks, man.
-You wanna see how
you finished?

[Tyson] Let's check
it out, Australia.

[Paul] To hit
his 7,000-ounce target,

Parker needs to hit
a weekly total

of at least 300 ounces.

[Chris] So, here's the end
of Australia Creek.

Got 20, 40.

-Eighty, 100, 130, 170.
-Two hundred, come on.

-[all] Yeah!
-[all laughing]

[Chris] Two hundred and sixty.

282.2.

[Paul] Worth?
Just over $560,000.

-Good way to finish.
-That's cool. Australia Creek,
over 1,000 ounces.

[Mitch] what do you think?
We going back there next
year and looking for more?

I'm not gonna make
that decision right now.

I think, whoever mines it,
it'll be tough,

you know, there's a lot
of like, work that needs to be
put in up there.

-[Tyson] Well, we made
it work this year.
-[Parker] Rocksanne!

-So, you kinda have to help
me out on this one.
-Oh, yeah? Is it a heavy one?

[Chris] Yeah.

-This is a two-hander.
-[laughs]

-Ready?
-[Mike] All right.

[Chris] Here we go.

We got 100.

We got 180, 200.

Keep going, 300.

Did you hear the clunks?

-Like, packed in there.
-Three hundred
and thirty, 340.

-That creaky sound might
have been me.
-[laughs]

382.85. [bleep] yeah.

[Paul] Bringing the season
total to 6,544 ounces.

-Dude, that's sick.
-We've already pulled out
3,676 ounces out of here.

Well, all I gotta
say about that is,
you bought the right place.

We're running out of time,
we're down to one plant,

but you know, if you guys
can keep her going,

and the ground holds up,

and the weather...

Later.

-See you, Chris.
-Yeah!

[Mike] The Money Pit
just keeps delivering.

Rocksanne's doing
a killer job.

Now, we got everybody in
one spot, let's see what
we can make it happen.

It's good to have Australia
Creek done.

Now, we can focus on Dominion.

Dominion is where the gold is,
I think that's where
our future is.
