1
00:00:05,206 --> 00:00:10,242
- What in the hell?
- Look at the water.
2
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:11,710
Hey, paul.
3
00:00:11,712 --> 00:00:14,079
Coming up a little bit,
A little bit of sticks, man,
4
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:15,414
A little bit of debris.
5
00:00:48,449 --> 00:00:50,582
- Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday!
6
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:52,151
- Happy birthday, fred!
- Happy birthday, fred!
7
00:00:52,153 --> 00:00:54,420
- 75 years old.
- You're old.
8
00:00:56,624 --> 00:00:59,858
75 years old,
Still diving in alaska?
9
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:01,627
That's pretty impressive.
10
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:16,708
He started to panic down there..
11
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,178
That's how dangerous This is.
12
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:21,246
We're going to do our first fuel
Drop down the mountain.
13
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:24,249
The crazy that
We do to mine in alaska.
14
00:01:34,662 --> 00:01:35,928
We're that close to the gold.
15
00:01:35,930 --> 00:01:39,531
We're in business, boys.
A little nugget.

18
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:11,063
Well, the water is not perfectly
Clear this morning, but...
19
00:02:11,065 --> 00:02:14,433
It's nice. It's not milky.
20
00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:18,737
All right. About a foot, foot
And a half of visibility.
21
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:22,975
The dakota boys are 10 weeks
Into their mining season,
22
00:02:22,977 --> 00:02:24,877
Dredging for gold
In one of alaska's.
23
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:29,181
Most remote
And dangerous creeks.
24
00:02:29,183 --> 00:02:35,020
Hey, guys! Right here.
25
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:38,557
This is our entire reason
For being here, right here.
26
00:02:38,559 --> 00:02:40,893
So you know how the crack
Goes all the way down,
27
00:02:40,895 --> 00:02:43,228
If you were trying
To build a nugget trap,
28
00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:45,397
This is what It would look like.
29
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:47,933
I just believe it's going to be
Chock full of gold,
30
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:49,568
And now we need To clean it out.
31
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:53,405
So the hole has to go forward
In order to do this.
32
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:54,973
Well, I can't wait
To get into this.
33
00:02:54,975 --> 00:02:57,609
Man, this is... it looks like
A good day to dive.
34
00:02:59,446 --> 00:03:01,246
Last week...
35
00:03:04,385 --> 00:03:06,985
Dustin discovered a crack
In the creek wall...
36
00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:08,687
Yeah! Yes, it is!
37
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,023
That gave them
Their biggest cleanup yet.
38
00:03:11,025 --> 00:03:12,925
Now we're getting
Into gold, baby.
39
00:03:14,929 --> 00:03:18,864
Now dustin needs his crew
To dredge down through the rocks.
40
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:21,900
And gravel To the pile of gold.
41
00:03:21,902 --> 00:03:24,236
At the bottom
Of the bedrock crack.
42
00:03:27,575 --> 00:03:28,907
We're throwing the dice.
43
00:03:28,909 --> 00:03:30,309
This is what we're going for.
44
00:03:30,311 --> 00:03:32,311
This is our focus. All right.
45
00:03:32,313 --> 00:03:34,012
Let's get to work, guys.
46
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:39,017
So, today, we have to open
The hole up more.
47
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:42,754
So we can get down To the crack.
48
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:47,059
That promise of the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow,
49
00:03:47,061 --> 00:03:50,362
I think,
Is in every man's heart.
50
00:03:50,364 --> 00:03:51,863
That's what drives you on.
51
00:03:51,865 --> 00:03:55,167
Some men have more of that drive
Than others.
52
00:03:55,169 --> 00:03:57,736
Dustin and I have got it.
53
00:03:57,738 --> 00:04:01,974
Dustin has invested
$75,000 in this season.
54
00:04:01,976 --> 00:04:04,676
He needs it to pay off,
Or he'll lose it all,
55
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:08,213
And none of his crew
Will get paid.
56
00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:11,183
I'm going to get the gold
Out of this hole.
57
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:17,189
Diving alongside him
Is rich webster.
58
00:04:17,191 --> 00:04:22,995
I'm ready to rock and roll.
Start getting back to digging,
59
00:04:22,997 --> 00:04:25,664
See if we can get down
To some good ole yellow gold.
60
00:05:58,058 --> 00:06:01,927
After 4 hours, dustin and rich
Are 12 feet down,
61
00:06:01,929 --> 00:06:04,096
Just 3 feet from bedrock.
62
00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:59,251
- Whoa.
- Was scary.
63
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:01,052
I was out of air, dude.
64
00:07:25,546 --> 00:07:28,146
That's the most scariest thing
That's ever happened.
65
00:07:28,148 --> 00:07:29,815
- To me diving.
- Yeah, I bet.
66
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:31,149
Thank god you were
Pulling me, dude,
67
00:07:31,151 --> 00:07:32,584
Because I couldn't
Get up fast enough.
68
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:34,052
I was yanking as hard
As I could.
69
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:37,722
That was good because I
Wouldn't have got out in time.
70
00:07:37,724 --> 00:07:39,658
That thing smashed
Against my face so hard.
71
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:41,226
When I went To take a breath.
72
00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:42,828
Panicked?
73
00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:43,862
I started to.
74
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:45,797
I know.
75
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:48,433
Casey saved my ass.
76
00:07:48,435 --> 00:07:49,835
He saved my ass.
77
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:55,373
Yeah, that was bad. Sorry, man.
78
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:58,577
Glad I got you out.
Thank you. Thank you.
79
00:07:58,579 --> 00:08:00,579
- I know.
- I owe you one.
80
00:08:00,581 --> 00:08:02,314
You're All right, dude.
81
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:07,552
That's probably one of
The scariest rescues.
82
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,554
We've ever had to do.
83
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:11,790
He started to panic down there.
84
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:14,593
That's how dangerous This is.
85
00:08:14,595 --> 00:08:18,296
We got to check
That pop-off valve.
86
00:08:18,298 --> 00:08:20,198
The hose clip connecting
The air lines.
87
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,400
To the compressor has blown.
88
00:08:22,402 --> 00:08:24,436
Before anyone can dive again,
89
00:08:24,438 --> 00:08:27,572
Wes switches it out
For a threaded brass coupling.
90
00:08:27,574 --> 00:08:28,773
Yeah.
91
00:08:28,775 --> 00:08:30,475
This is the lifeline
To the diver right now.
92
00:08:30,477 --> 00:08:33,311
We can't afford for this hose
To come off of there like that.
93
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:35,981
I'm going to give it a shot
And squeeze it down some more.
94
00:08:35,983 --> 00:08:38,617
We'll run it for a little bit
And see if we can get it.
95
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:40,819
To continually run
Without popping up.
96
00:08:40,821 --> 00:08:44,055
Luckily, we just happen to have
A tool here to crimp this stuff.
97
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,690
So I think I got that crimped
Tight enough.
98
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,126
That maybe it will stay
On here this time.
99
00:08:48,128 --> 00:08:49,861
I'm hoping, anyway.
100
00:08:51,899 --> 00:08:53,965
Let's see if that does the trick
Right there, a quick fix.
101
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:56,167
Hopefully, that's going
To take care of it.
102
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:01,806
So, fred, is it back
Working again?
103
00:09:01,808 --> 00:09:03,275
It's Working fine.
104
00:09:03,277 --> 00:09:06,244
The pressure-relief valve
Is working perfectly.
105
00:09:06,246 --> 00:09:08,280
Did we Double-hose clamp that?
106
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:09,347
Yes. I did.
107
00:09:09,349 --> 00:09:10,482
Awesome. You're the man.
108
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:12,417
Sorry to ask.
109
00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:15,820
It happened to me in the
Mississippi river at 80 feet.
110
00:09:15,822 --> 00:09:18,657
I made it to within 5 feet of
The surface before the guy says,
111
00:09:18,659 --> 00:09:21,059
"Okay.
Here's what the problem is."
112
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:27,499
One breath,
And there was nothing.
113
00:09:27,501 --> 00:09:30,268
Believe me. I was coming up.
114
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:33,071
I think they call them
Near-misses.
115
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,205
So I'm going To go back down.
116
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,607
I'm going to get back
In the saddle.
117
00:09:35,609 --> 00:09:37,976
I don't Think you should.
118
00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:41,112
You need to get your head
Right for this situation.
119
00:09:41,114 --> 00:09:42,714
You had an event today.
120
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:45,083
I don't think you need to be
Back in the water no more today.
121
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,818
Come on out.
122
00:09:50,891 --> 00:09:52,490
You all right, man?
123
00:09:52,492 --> 00:09:53,959
When I heard, "Diver up!
Diver up!"
124
00:09:53,961 --> 00:09:56,761
I just turned and started
To come up the wall,
125
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:58,029
And it was like
126
00:09:58,031 --> 00:10:01,866
that mask went
To my face so hard,
127
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:04,469
And it's the first time
That I seriously
128
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:06,504
started To panic.
129
00:10:06,506 --> 00:10:08,640
It is terrifying.
130
00:10:08,642 --> 00:10:12,978
The best medicine is to get
Back in that damn water.
131
00:10:22,456 --> 00:10:24,255
Up next...
132
00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:29,127
- nugget!
- That's gold, buddy.
133
00:10:29,129 --> 00:10:30,795
We're Getting closer.
134
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:49,981
The best medicine is to get
Back in that damn water.
135
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:56,621
All right. I'm going.
136
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,289
I'm going.
137
00:10:58,291 --> 00:11:02,961
On his last dive, rich panicked
When his air supply failed.
138
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:07,065
Now he's bucking his fears,
Getting back in the raging creek.
139
00:11:07,067 --> 00:11:09,000
And down to the nugget trap.
140
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:11,069
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't a little nervous,
141
00:11:11,071 --> 00:11:12,203
But I'm going to go back down.
142
00:11:12,205 --> 00:11:14,372
I'm going to get back in saddle.
143
00:11:14,374 --> 00:11:16,408
I just got to get through today.
144
00:11:29,489 --> 00:11:30,769
Richard, you're clear
To go down.
145
00:11:42,235 --> 00:11:45,670
Dustin heads back into the creek
With rich.
146
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:56,407
Over thousands of years,
147
00:12:56,409 --> 00:12:59,511
Gravity compresses gravel
On the creek bed.
148
00:12:59,513 --> 00:13:02,881
Into a dense layer
Known as hardpack.
149
00:13:02,883 --> 00:13:07,051
This is now all that stands
Between them and the gold.
150
00:13:14,728 --> 00:13:18,429
The hardpack is too tough
For the suction hose.
151
00:13:18,431 --> 00:13:19,531
We're coming up.
152
00:13:28,842 --> 00:13:30,441
We got the air chisel.
153
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:32,010
We have it. It's ready.
154
00:13:32,012 --> 00:13:34,179
We should stick it down there
Today, actually,
155
00:13:34,181 --> 00:13:39,083
But tomorrow we're going
To hit this really hard.
156
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:43,321
Good job today, fellows.
157
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,557
All right.
Let's get the hell out of here.
158
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,094
Tomorrow, we'll be digging
Through hardpack.
159
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:51,930
I don't think that that hardpack
Is more.
160
00:13:51,932 --> 00:13:55,767
Than 2 or 3 feet deep
At the most.
161
00:13:55,769 --> 00:13:57,535
We're that close to the gold.
162
00:14:17,591 --> 00:14:21,392
They mined in this area
About 100 years ago,
163
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:25,496
And it takes over 100 years
To make this rock like it is,
164
00:14:25,498 --> 00:14:28,766
So we know that no one
Has mined here before.
165
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:31,202
In order to make this rock
This way, you have.
166
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:34,772
To have thousands of years,
And that's what it took.
167
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:37,308
A lot of people call this
False bedrock.
168
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:39,677
Right below this is where
The gold is sitting.
169
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,512
We just got to get through it.
170
00:14:41,514 --> 00:14:44,883
That hardpack has got
That prehistoric cement.
171
00:14:44,885 --> 00:14:47,185
Caveman concrete, brother.
172
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:49,654
To break through the hardpack,
The crew will use.
173
00:14:49,656 --> 00:14:52,657
A pneumatic hammer
Powered by an air compressor.
174
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:58,062
Each strike delivers
150 pounds of pressure.
175
00:14:58,064 --> 00:15:04,402
To the hardened steel chisel
3,000 times a minute.
176
00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:11,576
So when he gets down there,
Underneath the water,
177
00:15:11,578 --> 00:15:13,578
He's going to essentially
Get all this hardpack,
178
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,782
And he's just going
To try to break it up,
179
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:20,218
Pulverize it where he can
Suck it into the dredge.
180
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:22,186
There's a lot of golf
Mixed into that hardpack,
181
00:15:22,188 --> 00:15:24,522
And there's a whole lot of gold
Underneath the hardpack,
182
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:25,890
Which is what we're after.
183
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:32,130
Diving with carlos today
Is 74-year-old fred.
184
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:34,232
He's going to use
The air chipper.
185
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:38,303
As he chips, I'll be sucking up
The debris on the bottom,
186
00:15:38,305 --> 00:15:40,772
And we're going to
Get after that thing.
187
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,740
- Ready?
- Let's dive!
188
00:15:57,657 --> 00:15:58,823
We're in business, kids.
189
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,266
Right there. Yep.
190
00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:10,234
Okay. Here it comes,
Brother. Let's do this.
191
00:16:15,575 --> 00:16:17,608
Bright orange hose.
192
00:16:25,051 --> 00:16:27,085
Perfect. All right.
193
00:16:27,087 --> 00:16:28,286
Let's see how he does.
194
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:40,732
Wow.
195
00:17:38,024 --> 00:17:40,124
We're getting
Desperate for fuel.
196
00:17:40,126 --> 00:17:42,693
I think we need to check
All these fuel barrels.
197
00:18:03,716 --> 00:18:06,584
My. We ran out of fuel.
198
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:09,420
I have no idea
What we're going to do.
199
00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:16,394
Dustin, man.
It was a rookie mistake.
200
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:20,031
We're in trouble.
201
00:18:20,033 --> 00:18:22,066
We don't have a single barrel
Left of fuel,
202
00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:25,269
And I don't know how I missed
This, but I missed it.
203
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:28,072
I think I'm going through
About a barrel and a half.
204
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:33,311
Per week right now,
Maybe two barrels.
205
00:18:42,755 --> 00:18:45,389
Between the engines
On each dredge,
206
00:18:45,391 --> 00:18:49,360
Generators, and the compressor
For the air hammer, fuel costs
207
00:18:49,362 --> 00:18:54,365
Dustin $1,500 a week.
208
00:18:54,367 --> 00:18:58,536
Without any fuel,
These things don't run.
209
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:01,639
- It's just that simple.
- We need fuel,
210
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:05,209
Otherwise everybody
Take a big long vacation.
211
00:19:07,514 --> 00:19:08,913
No fuel, no gold.
212
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:27,365
In the back country,
213
00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:29,934
35 miles north of
Haines, alaska,
214
00:19:29,936 --> 00:19:33,104
The dakota Boys are shut down.
215
00:19:33,106 --> 00:19:35,940
No fuel means no gold mining.
216
00:19:39,712 --> 00:19:44,815
Getting fuel to where I need
It is really hard.
217
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:46,851
The helicopters kind of jacked
Up their price.
218
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:48,920
A little bit on us,
219
00:19:48,922 --> 00:19:52,089
Which I don't have the money
To start throwing at fuel.
220
00:19:52,091 --> 00:19:54,358
Like I used to.
221
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:59,931
To avoid a $2,000 heli lift,
Dustin risks a bush resupply.
222
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:03,401
How about we hook it up
And then run a zipper across it?
223
00:20:03,403 --> 00:20:06,037
We can do that.
224
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,739
What I'm trying to do
Is get this 55-gallon drum
225
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:12,743
400 feet across this ravine
That's about 300-feet deep,
226
00:20:12,745 --> 00:20:14,979
And we don't want to drop it.
227
00:20:16,916 --> 00:20:17,982
Watch your fingers.
228
00:20:20,253 --> 00:20:28,253
That's going to have
To be enough.
229
00:20:29,095 --> 00:20:32,330
All right. If that rope gets
Stuck, it will untie itself,
230
00:20:32,332 --> 00:20:34,398
So I didn't think that through.
231
00:20:39,472 --> 00:20:41,172
Come on, baby.
232
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,451
Is that where you want it
Right there?
233
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:08,065
Dustin helied in the atv
At the start of the season...
234
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:13,271
But when the dirt
Road dead-ends,
235
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:16,607
There's no way to lower
The 380-pound barrels.
236
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:19,510
Safely down the canyon
To the mine site.
237
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:27,952
Now, we want to build
This long, long pipe.
238
00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:29,954
Down to another barrel.
239
00:21:29,956 --> 00:21:31,355
Super simple, right?
240
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:37,328
They've already taken the barrel
Over the zip wire from the camp,
241
00:21:37,330 --> 00:21:42,967
Along the atv trail
To the top of the canyon.
242
00:21:42,969 --> 00:21:46,904
Now, they'll connect
4510-foot steel pipes.
243
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:51,509
To get the fuel down the
450-foot drop to mckinley creek.
244
00:21:51,511 --> 00:21:54,912
And directly into an
Empty barrel at the bottom.
245
00:22:01,788 --> 00:22:04,522
Yeah, I've got to put sealant on
This... these,
246
00:22:04,524 --> 00:22:06,157
Before I put them together.
247
00:22:06,159 --> 00:22:07,692
I can't have gas leaking out
Of any of it.
248
00:22:07,694 --> 00:22:09,160
Because it's gonna have
A lot of pressure by the time.
249
00:22:09,162 --> 00:22:10,961
It gets to the bottom,
So all these joints have got to.
250
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:14,865
Have some kind of compound
On them so they won't leak.
251
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,367
Now the trick is going to be,
252
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:18,803
"Can we put them together
Going down the hill?"
253
00:22:18,805 --> 00:22:21,339
Yeah. We definitely can.
254
00:22:21,341 --> 00:22:23,040
Ready?
255
00:22:32,452 --> 00:22:34,085
Okay. Right there, it's good.
256
00:22:35,722 --> 00:22:36,921
We decided to go
With the metal pipe.
257
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:38,723
Because of the bears
And all the porcupines.
258
00:22:38,725 --> 00:22:41,025
They love to chew up anything
That's plastic,
259
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:45,629
So the only way to keep them
From poking holes in our pipe,
260
00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:46,764
We had to go with metal.
261
00:22:46,766 --> 00:22:48,532
All right. Ready to go again.
262
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:49,567
Standby.
263
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:51,268
Copy.
264
00:23:02,181 --> 00:23:05,750
- Here it comes, paul.
- Copy that.
265
00:23:05,752 --> 00:23:07,451
So far, so good.
266
00:23:07,453 --> 00:23:09,520
We're about a foot
From the edge.
267
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:16,460
Paul!
Can you send me down a piece?
268
00:23:22,502 --> 00:23:26,404
It's going. We got this.
269
00:23:26,406 --> 00:23:29,573
We're on a roll.
270
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:30,975
Talk about relaxing today.
271
00:23:30,977 --> 00:23:33,944
It was a pretty chill day,
Though, right?
272
00:23:33,946 --> 00:23:35,012
- Come on.
- Not bad.
273
00:23:35,014 --> 00:23:37,014
- Not bad at all.
- Pretty chill.
274
00:23:37,016 --> 00:23:38,849
Hanging from the side
Of a mountain.
275
00:23:42,221 --> 00:23:44,789
The crazy
That we do to mine in alaska.
276
00:24:09,482 --> 00:24:10,815
We got our pipe in.
277
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,389
Well, this is the last
Connection that I've got to do,
278
00:24:18,391 --> 00:24:21,358
And we're going to do our first
Fuel drop down the mountain.
279
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,627
So like this, now we have
A barrel at the top.
280
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:26,230
We'll have a barrel down
At the bottom.
281
00:24:26,232 --> 00:24:28,432
All we've got to do
Is open our valve,
282
00:24:28,434 --> 00:24:32,036
And it should fill our barrel
Down up here with fuel.
283
00:24:32,038 --> 00:24:33,637
Once we have this barrel
With fuel, then we can carry it.
284
00:24:33,639 --> 00:24:36,307
Back and forth
To the dredge site real easy.
285
00:24:36,309 --> 00:24:39,577
This is going to be
A lifesaver right here.
286
00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:42,813
- Dustin, you have a copy?
- Yeah, I got you, man.
287
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,648
What's up?
288
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,083
Okay. I'm ready on my end.
289
00:24:46,085 --> 00:24:49,420
Are you ready to receive
A little bit of fuel?
290
00:24:49,422 --> 00:24:51,121
Yeah. Give me a little trickle.
291
00:24:53,259 --> 00:24:54,492
Just let me know When you see.
292
00:24:54,494 --> 00:24:55,860
A little bit of fuel
Out of the bottom.
293
00:24:55,862 --> 00:24:58,829
I am not going to let
Very much through to start.
294
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:00,397
Copy that.
295
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:03,033
I'll let you know when something
Happens, but nothing yet.
296
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:08,839
You should have a good
Flow coming down.
297
00:25:08,841 --> 00:25:12,476
Still nothing, man.
Still nothing.
298
00:25:12,478 --> 00:25:13,911
What are you thinking, man?
299
00:25:13,913 --> 00:25:16,547
I got my valve all the way open,
And there's nothing happening.
300
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:21,018
I have all of my valves
Open, too.
301
00:25:21,020 --> 00:25:23,454
That Don't make sense.
302
00:25:23,456 --> 00:25:26,257
Let's try something else Then?
303
00:25:26,259 --> 00:25:28,492
We do have that gas-powered
Compressor down there.
304
00:25:28,494 --> 00:25:30,294
That will put Out 120 pounds.
305
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:32,029
If we can Hook a line to it.
306
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:33,764
And just blow this right out.
307
00:25:36,802 --> 00:25:43,307
The compressor will fire a jet
Of air down the 450-foot line.
308
00:25:43,309 --> 00:25:45,943
Whatever is in the line,
We're going to push it out.
309
00:25:49,682 --> 00:25:51,148
All right. I'm going
To fire this thing up,
310
00:25:51,150 --> 00:25:53,384
And let's see if we can get
A flow through here.
311
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:05,896
Okay, I'm going to
Send you some air.
312
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:08,866
I have about 90 pounds of
Pressure on the compressor.
313
00:26:08,868 --> 00:26:10,568
Let's see What that will do.
314
00:26:30,556 --> 00:26:33,657
Well, I'll find out shortly.
315
00:26:33,659 --> 00:26:35,125
Okay. Keep Your fingers crossed.
316
00:26:35,127 --> 00:26:36,493
That this is going
To come down this time.
317
00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:37,895
I've got everything hooked up,
318
00:26:37,897 --> 00:26:39,617
And I'm going to try
To send you fuel again.
319
00:26:42,134 --> 00:26:43,867
Copy that. Here we go.
320
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,113
Yeah, got fuel. I got fuel.
321
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:57,948
That is amazing.
322
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:01,518
This will save us
A lot of money.
323
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,753
It's a great afternoon.
324
00:27:02,755 --> 00:27:05,556
We got it cleared,
Got fuel going down.
325
00:27:05,558 --> 00:27:08,959
Now we can just concentrate
On getting past the hardpack.
326
00:27:08,961 --> 00:27:11,128
It's all about finding
The gold now.
327
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:13,097
I like it when a plan
Comes together.
328
00:27:14,867 --> 00:27:20,771
Dustin's new system will save
$500 on every barrel of fuel.
329
00:27:20,773 --> 00:27:22,906
Now we can get fuel,
Get it up there.
330
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:25,743
This is so much cheaper,
And we're done with it.
331
00:27:25,745 --> 00:27:27,411
We got it.
332
00:27:32,785 --> 00:27:35,919
And it's got the dakota boys
Back smashing.
333
00:27:35,921 --> 00:27:38,255
Through hardpack
To the bedrock gold.
334
00:28:24,003 --> 00:28:26,303
We're getting deep finally,
Finally.
335
00:28:51,130 --> 00:28:55,432
The crew is just 2 1/2 feet
From bedrock.
336
00:28:55,434 --> 00:28:57,468
We're finally getting our depth
That we need.
337
00:28:57,470 --> 00:28:58,702
Once we get through
That hardpack,
338
00:28:58,704 --> 00:29:01,572
It should be
Gold city from there.
339
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:17,755
Tomorrow should be the day.
340
00:29:17,757 --> 00:29:20,023
We should be able to get
Through that hardpack.
341
00:29:20,025 --> 00:29:21,525
Hell, yeah.
342
00:29:48,754 --> 00:29:52,856
It rained like hell last night.
I didn't sleep a wink,
343
00:29:52,858 --> 00:29:54,925
So I've been
Thinking about it all night.
344
00:29:54,927 --> 00:29:57,561
So the guys made it down there,
345
00:29:57,563 --> 00:30:01,498
And I wanted to know
What happened.
346
00:30:08,941 --> 00:30:12,643
That rain Is something else.
347
00:30:12,645 --> 00:30:16,246
Overnight rainfall high
In the chilkat mountains.
348
00:30:16,248 --> 00:30:21,218
Has raised the water level
In mckinley creek by 3 feet.
349
00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:23,754
Getting pretty serious
Down there right now,
350
00:30:23,756 --> 00:30:28,158
But mother nature never counted
On guys like dustin and I.
351
00:30:30,196 --> 00:30:31,562
It could pick up
Even more today.
352
00:30:31,564 --> 00:30:32,629
That's what I think
It's going to do.
353
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,131
Because that big rock
Is our marker.
354
00:30:34,133 --> 00:30:37,000
That marker right there always
Tells me where we're at.
355
00:30:37,002 --> 00:30:38,569
Another foot high,
356
00:30:38,571 --> 00:30:40,771
The boulders are going to start
Rolling into my hole.
357
00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:43,674
As soon as you start hearing
Big boulders, I'm out.
358
00:30:43,676 --> 00:30:44,975
That's it. We're done.
359
00:30:44,977 --> 00:30:46,343
That's how it works.
I mean, you get crushed.
360
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:48,178
At the bottom of this thing.
Right.
361
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:50,514
Conditions have gone
From dangerous.
362
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:53,183
To potentially lethal down
In the dive hole
363
00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:55,519
Dustin and casey
Are about to enter.
364
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:57,554
Casey, how about you
Don't go down?
365
00:30:57,556 --> 00:30:59,022
I'll go down.
366
00:30:59,024 --> 00:31:02,826
I have so much experience
In this stuff right here.
367
00:31:02,828 --> 00:31:04,828
I just don't want you
To get hurt.
368
00:31:04,830 --> 00:31:07,331
I have the most to gain
Or lose from this,
369
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:08,365
And I'll be Down there.
370
00:31:08,367 --> 00:31:10,067
It will be me.
371
00:31:20,579 --> 00:31:23,614
Aw, that would
Have been pretty bad.
372
00:31:23,616 --> 00:31:24,815
All right.
373
00:32:31,183 --> 00:32:35,485
Carlos acts as a lookout
Upstream.
374
00:32:35,487 --> 00:32:37,621
Looking pretty, pretty hairy,
Brother.
375
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:39,323
Pretty hairy.
376
00:32:39,325 --> 00:32:43,694
His safety zone is about as big
As this right here right now.
377
00:32:43,696 --> 00:32:44,895
That's why I'm looking, man.
378
00:32:44,897 --> 00:32:45,929
I'm looking for any kind of
Debris,
379
00:32:45,931 --> 00:32:48,966
Like branches, logs, anything.
380
00:32:48,968 --> 00:32:50,767
If you see that, that means
There's been.
381
00:32:50,769 --> 00:32:52,402
A landslide up above.
382
00:32:52,404 --> 00:32:54,671
If we start hearing
That mckinley thunder,
383
00:32:54,673 --> 00:32:56,340
What I mean by mckinley Thunder,
384
00:32:56,342 --> 00:32:59,076
Those rocks Roaring down.
385
00:32:59,078 --> 00:33:01,411
You can hear it.
It sounds like thunder.
386
00:33:01,413 --> 00:33:04,948
The rocks hitting each other,
Rolling down,
387
00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:07,150
Got to come up, man.
388
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:08,852
Game over on that one.
389
00:33:38,951 --> 00:33:40,751
Well, I'm going to get
Some measurements down here.
390
00:33:40,753 --> 00:33:44,821
The guys seem to think they keep
Going down all the way.
391
00:33:44,823 --> 00:33:48,025
Let's see how deep
They've actually got this.
392
00:33:48,027 --> 00:33:49,793
14 feet right there.
393
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:56,800
At 14 feet, dustin is just
Inches away.
394
00:33:56,802 --> 00:33:59,236
From where they hit
Gold last season.
395
00:34:48,053 --> 00:34:50,220
My.
396
00:34:54,293 --> 00:34:55,759
Whoa.
397
00:35:00,666 --> 00:35:03,600
- Hey, guys.
- Hey. Guess what.
398
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,969
- What?
- We got gold.
399
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:08,305
- Little nugget!
- Look at that.
400
00:35:10,776 --> 00:35:14,211
Laying right at the
Freaking head of the box.
401
00:35:14,213 --> 00:35:16,213
- I'll be damned.
- Yeah.
402
00:35:16,215 --> 00:35:17,481
- There you go, dude.
- That's nice.
403
00:35:17,483 --> 00:35:19,549
- Look at that.
- It's starting to happen.
404
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:20,951
We're in Business, boys.
405
00:35:20,953 --> 00:35:22,619
Yeah.
406
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:26,923
We're getting closer. Hot damn.
407
00:35:26,925 --> 00:35:29,159
I almost want to dance,
But not yet.
408
00:35:29,161 --> 00:35:30,994
Not yet.
409
00:35:30,996 --> 00:35:32,729
Yeah!
410
00:35:35,067 --> 00:35:36,867
That's such a good sign.
411
00:35:36,869 --> 00:35:39,769
It's letting us know that we're
Going in the right direction.
412
00:35:39,771 --> 00:35:42,606
That's gold, buddy.
We're getting closer.
413
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:55,952
When fred hurt was born,
414
00:35:55,954 --> 00:36:00,090
The united states was at war
With germany and japan.
415
00:36:00,092 --> 00:36:02,592
- Hey, fred.
- Hey, fred. Happy birthday!
416
00:36:02,594 --> 00:36:04,561
- Happy birthday!
- Happy birthday!
417
00:36:04,563 --> 00:36:06,763
- Happy birthday, fred!
- Happy birthday, fred.
418
00:36:06,765 --> 00:36:09,499
- Lord, have mercy.
- Happy birthday!
419
00:36:09,501 --> 00:36:12,836
Hello. Whoo-hoo-hoo!
420
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:15,572
- Whoo-hoo-hoo.
- My old goat.
421
00:36:15,574 --> 00:36:18,175
- 75 years old.
- You're old.
422
00:36:18,177 --> 00:36:19,843
I can handle it.
423
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:22,612
Probably have to rest a little
Bit more than the young ones do.
424
00:36:22,614 --> 00:36:23,680
That's all right.
425
00:36:23,682 --> 00:36:28,151
Holy cow! It is.!
426
00:36:28,954 --> 00:36:33,657
75 years old, still
Diving and hiking in alaska.
427
00:36:33,659 --> 00:36:35,926
Man. That's pretty impressive.
428
00:36:35,928 --> 00:36:37,494
If he wasn't working with us,
429
00:36:37,496 --> 00:36:39,696
I'm pretty sure he'd be close
To the grave right now,
430
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:43,333
But instead, we're keeping
His ass in shape.
431
00:36:43,335 --> 00:36:48,238
Let's see, I think I'll plan
For about another 20, 25 years.
432
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:17,400
Bad, bad medicine, brother.
Bad, bad medicine, man.
433
00:37:17,402 --> 00:37:20,470
She looks really hairy today.
434
00:37:20,472 --> 00:37:24,107
So the water came up
A whole bunch overnight.
435
00:37:24,109 --> 00:37:25,875
The floods are here.
436
00:37:25,877 --> 00:37:28,044
Have we been talking about it?
437
00:37:28,046 --> 00:37:30,880
It's happening.
438
00:37:30,882 --> 00:37:32,215
I can take this just fine.
439
00:37:32,217 --> 00:37:33,883
It's as muddy
As the mississippi.
440
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:35,318
I just hope a bunch of that
441
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,153
didn't wash back Into our hole.
442
00:37:37,155 --> 00:37:40,357
Heavy downpour tonight means
This hole is gone like.
443
00:37:40,359 --> 00:37:42,158
We never did anything.
444
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,793
With water levels rising,
445
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:47,464
Dustin's in a race against time
To get through the hardpack.
446
00:37:47,466 --> 00:37:51,534
He's inches away from a payday
2 years in the making.
447
00:37:51,536 --> 00:37:54,771
It's been raining for a day
And a half, 2 days,
448
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,274
Getting pretty serious
Down there right now.
449
00:37:57,276 --> 00:37:59,075
Weather like this, I'd be
More worried about a boulder.
450
00:37:59,077 --> 00:38:00,844
Rolling down on my head
Than anything else.
451
00:38:00,846 --> 00:38:03,313
Because the water
Is already up high.
452
00:38:03,315 --> 00:38:04,714
It comes up anymore,
And it could...
453
00:38:04,716 --> 00:38:05,715
Anything that We have up here...
454
00:38:05,717 --> 00:38:06,950
Right there.
455
00:38:06,952 --> 00:38:08,351
It could wash it right down
On top of us,
456
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:11,621
And we're just asking
For trouble if we do that.
457
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:15,625
All right, guys.
We are so close right now.
458
00:38:15,627 --> 00:38:17,460
I just got to get back
Down to it.
459
00:39:17,422 --> 00:39:19,289
The storm,
High in the mountains,
460
00:39:19,291 --> 00:39:22,926
Is sending 500 tons of water
Crashing down.
461
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:26,496
Above dustin's head
Every minute.
462
00:39:26,498 --> 00:39:28,732
Hey, paul, it's
Coming up a little bit,
463
00:39:28,734 --> 00:39:31,101
A little bit of sticks, man,
A little bit of debris.
464
00:39:54,092 --> 00:39:56,893
- The water is getting high.
- It's getting dirty.
465
00:39:56,895 --> 00:40:00,897
Getting dustin out in time,
That's what I'm worried about.
466
00:40:04,035 --> 00:40:06,469
I can't believe dustin
Is down in this.
467
00:40:06,471 --> 00:40:07,737
I really can't.
468
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:43,873
What in the hell?
469
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:47,577
Look at the water.
470
00:40:47,579 --> 00:40:51,714
My anticipation is that it had
Some sort of landslide.
471
00:40:51,716 --> 00:40:53,383
Came up the side
Of the mountain,
472
00:40:53,385 --> 00:40:56,052
Probably built up a little bit
Of water behind it,
473
00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:58,788
And finally just let loose.
474
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:00,957
This is the result.
475
00:41:33,725 --> 00:41:35,758
- Dustin!
- Can you hear me?
476
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:43,800
- I lost comm.
- Dustin.
477
00:41:43,802 --> 00:41:46,202
Dustin!
478
00:41:53,044 --> 00:41:54,544
My.
