I'm, uh...

I don't know.
I'm a little frustrated.

Narrator: Parker schnabel
is chasing a 6,000-ounce,

$7.2-million season goal,

but after two months,
he has just over 500 ounces.

This time last year,
we had -- what? --

1,500 ounces?

And now we've got, like,
a third of that.

We're just getting
our ass kicked.

We've got a massive
payroll bill,

and our fuel bill
is touching on $300,000 a month.

I mean, this is how
you go bankrupt.

Narrator: Because of
Parker's failed attempt

to mine the cluster cut,

sluicifer is sitting idle,
waiting for pay dirt.

-Hey, Willie.
-Yeah, buddy.

Parker: I wanted to talk to you
about a game plan here.

We've got big red going,

and we've got to get
that pad built for sluicifer.

It's a bit difficult,
but I figure

that it should take
three days.

I've got you
another driver.

He says he's got
a bunch of experience,

and we just got to get this
[Bleep] pad done.

You bet, buddy.
We're on her.

-Thanks, Willie.
-Hey, you bet.

Narrator: Big red is already
running pay dirt

at one end of the last cut.

At the other end,
Parker has finally hit pay dirt.

Now he needs Willie and his team

to move over
50,000 yards of tailings

to build a pad 50-feet high,

then drag his wash plant
up the slope

and get sluicifer
mining for gold.

Parker: We've got to get
sluicifer up and running,

and we can't start moving
conveyers in

or moving the plant in
until that pad's done.

So we need everybody here
pounding that pad in

and getting this
[Bleep] thing done.

We got to start getting
some gold coming in.

Narrator: Expert operator Willie
feeds dirt to the trucks.

Willie: This pad is so important
to get done right now.

Once we can get
both those plants going,

then we're gonna do some damage.

Narrator:
To build the 50-foot pad,

Parker has
three rock-truck drivers

dumping 18 loads an hour.

Aaron has four years experience.

Aaron:
Three days Parker's given us.

I hope we can get it done.

That's a pretty tight time line.

gonna take [Bleep] forever,

use a pair of small pumps

to empty the water
out of the pontoons,

he drains the entire pond

before pumping out the pontoons.

Kevin will then have to
refill the pond

Ruby: Kevin.

Dredge is sunk.

Kevin:
Yeah, a little bit.

Despite Tony's objections,

Kevin's determined
to put his own plan into action

Here's the battle plan.

We're gonna hook up

Okay.

I don't think zee's

So that's my goal standing here
right at the moment.

If I can show you
a couple little things.

I'm gonna drop it
from higher,

'cause that way
it will spread

that material
out a little bit more.

that material better,

we'll probably have

But when Todd stopped mining,

Tony called me up

So here I am.

Kevin!

Juan, good to
see you again.

Been pumping for ages.

The water's not getting out
quick enough.

Okay.

Narrator:
To get the pump pipes in,

Kevin has to open
the pontoons' hatches.

But because they're underwater,

they're refilling as fast
as he can pump it out.

Kevin:
So what do you think?

We're just pissing in the wind
over there, man.

And as much water
as we're pulling out,

the same amount of water's
coming back in.

But I was thinking
what we should do

is just build a little lid
and put two holes in it,

and then have a hole
for breathing

and then a hole
for sucking out of.

We can pump the tank out

without letting
more water come in.

-Yeah, it's worth a shot.
-Yeah, okay.

Narrator:
Juan's plan --

fabricate a new hatch
for the pontoons with two pipes.

Once fitted, they'll use
one pipe to pump the water out.

The second pipe that reaches
above the water level

will allow air back in
so the dredge can float again.

This is gonna be the lid
that I'm gonna build.

I'm gonna cut it out
of that little thin steel.

Juan's trailer
is fully loaded

with his own state-of-the-art

This has to work.

If we don't get the dredge
floating now,

who knows how long it's gonna
[Bleep] take.

Did that get you
high enough?

Hopefully that does it,

I do forget to do that.

Narrator: The pumps are removing
700 gallons of water a minute.

The water is replaced

Potatoes, sausage, shrimp...

-Oh, yeah.
-...Corn, crab legs.

-Thanks, brother.
-There'll be plenty.

-Appreciate it.
-How is it, Rick?

Holy [Bleep].
Take a breath.

Narrator: Parker has
a season goal of 6,000 ounces,

but so far this year,
he's mined little more than 500.

What's up, guys?

Not a lot.
You?

Oh, you know,
just another day in paradise.

[ Laughter ]

-Here we go.
-Hoo!

-How's that?
-Nothing wrong with that.

-Coming out of big red.
-That's from big red, huh?

Mitch:
Would have been nice to have
two plants running all week,

but at least we got
sluicifer all put together.

Well, let's see
how much we got here.

Narrator: To get back on track,
Parker needs 340 ounces a week.

120...

160...

190, 200...

-Nothing wrong with that.
-[ Whistles ]

...214.

-[Bleep] Yeah.
-Nice.

-On the money.
-That's not bad.

Narrator:
Worth over $256,000.

So that puts us at 737.

[Bleep], we've got
a lot of gold to find.

We got a long way to go.

We have 5,300 ounces of gold
to find.

And a short time to find it.

[Bleep]

What happened to
the 1,000-ounce seasons?

Yeah!

-2,000-ounce seasons?
-All right.

Well, we've got two plants
running now,

a mountain of time
to make up.

Just pound dirt
down their throats

for the rest
of the summer.

Thanks, guys.

That's a good week, man.

Just 30 more of them,
boys!

Guys, get over here!

Narrator: In his first season
as mine boss,

Rick has a target
of 1,000 ounces of gold.

His only gold weigh last week
yielded just 30 ounces.

It's been another one
of those weeks, hasn't it?

But, you know,
Freddy stepped in there,

fixed the spray bars,

got the [Bleep] plant
moving as it should.

And, honestly, I'm not
gonna give a big speech.

I'm just gonna go like this.

Feast your eyes.

[ Cheering ]

-Yeah!
-Nice!

-That's what I'm talking about.
-Right?

[Bleep] Yeah, buddy.

-Yeah!
-Wow.

That's what dreams
are made of.

That is heavy as hell.

I had no idea
that was that heavy.

-Here we go.
-Count it out.

Rick: This could be
a good one, fellas.

We got 5, 10...

20, 30, 40...

-Oh, yeah!
-...50, 60, 90.

There's 100.
-Yeah!

-Yeah.
-[ Laughs ]

There she is, guys -- 103.28.

-Whoa!
-Yeah!

That's over 123 grand
right there, boys.

-Whoo-hoo!
-That looks good.

Narrator:
Claim owner sheamus Christie

joins them for the gold weigh.

Sheamus: Well, that looks
like just about enough

to pay off
the 475 dozer debt,

plus my 10% royalty.

I hate to bring it up,
but...

-Yeah, yeah.
-...That's the deal we made.

Yeah, that's fair.

Narrator:
At the start of the season,

sheamus rented Rick
his monster dozer

to get down to pay.

And as the claim owner,
he gets his modest 10% fee.

Rick: [ Sighs ]

Right on.
Thanks for paying it.

Absolutely.

Keep up the good work.

-So that leaves, what?
-Six ounces.

-Easy come, easy go, right?
-Yeah.

There was nothing easy
about getting that [Bleep].

Rick: Hey, you know,
it's still early.

We just made a huge jump.

We just got a tenth of
our [Bleep] season total

in one week --

a tenth of it
in one [Bleep] week.

Think about that.
Yeah.

Now we're on
a [Bleep] upward trend.

Let's just keep it going.

-Yeah!
-Rally?

-Rally!
-Rally!

-Yep.
-Let's do it good.

You out of here?

Yep, I'm out of here.

You've helped us out

And I owe you big-time.

No, you don't owe me.
You know what?

The biggest thing I see,
Rick,

is just keep the morale up
for your guys.

Yeah.

You keep a grin on,
and they will, too.

Keep your head up.

Things will come through.

Yeah, as long as we don't

I think that we're gonna
