1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,280
ANDREW: Can you smell smoke?
JACQUI: Smoke?
2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,080
It's pretty windy today,
3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,240
and have a look
at this tinder-dry grass
we're standing in.
4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,000
We can't get caught in a fire
somewhere like this.
5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,640
The problem is
we've pushed a road in to get here,
6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,080
so we know there's no other tracks
out of here.
7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,400
If we get stuck on the wrong side
of fires, we're in big trouble.
8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Yeah, look.
9
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,760
That's a big fire, too, that one.
10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Let's go, mate. Fire.
11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,360
Oh.
12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,200
We need to get out of here - now.
13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,960
Whoa! There's lots of smoke.
14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,680
Yeah, mate, let's get out of here.
15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,240
We gotta go.
Pack your stuff, boys. We're out.
16
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,600
Just get in, mate. Just get in.
17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,320
This gusty wind...
18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,240
If we get caught on this hill,
we're in a world of trouble.
19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,280
We've been lucky to outrun it.
We're going to get out of here
20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,760
onto the other side,
where it's already been burned.
21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,840
We're going to have to drive
towards the fire
to get out of the fire.
22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,480
Look at it coming up this hill.
23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Whoa. Feel it coming in there.
Whoa, that's hot.
24
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,120
This is bad.
25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,680
Oh, God.
26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,920
We're at the mercy of the fire
right now,
27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,680
whichever way the wind blows it.
28
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,760
Look at this. It's carnage.
29
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,840
This doesn't look good, mate.
There is a lot of smoke in here.
30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560
Thick with smoke.
31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Phew, I can barely breathe.
My eyes are stinging.
32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400
Yeah.A white-out.
(COUGHS)
33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,560
NARRATOR: Jacqui Buzetti
and Andrew Leahy are trying
to drive through the bushfire
34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,960
to get to what firefighters call
"the black" -
35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,200
the area behind the fire front
36
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,320
where all the debris
fuelling the flames
has already been burnt.
37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,760
We gotta get to the other side,
where the fire's gone through,
38
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,720
to be in the safe zone.
39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,640
It's everywhere!I know.
Seriously.
40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,280
The wind's blowing it
all over the place.
41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,400
Holy crap. We gotta go.
42
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600
Yeah.Here we go. (SQUEALS)
43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,280
(LAUGHS)Whoo!
44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,720
If we're ever going to find
a kilo nugget,
45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,760
we'll do it at Fish Creek, I reckon.
46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,400
When Jacqui and Andrew
first prospected isolated Fish Creek
47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960
flying was the only way in.
48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,720
That's a fantastic chunk of gold.
Look at that one.
49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,640
The previously untouched area
showed promise...
50
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,480
Gold keeps coming today.
51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,320
Love this patch.
52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,080
..so they bulldozed a road
into the area.
53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,360
This is a game-changer.
It's going to open our season up.
54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,280
God, I'm glad we're through that.
Feels way better being on this side,
55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,360
where it's already been burnt
and the fires aren't going
to come back for us.
56
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,520
Look, here comes one of the TOs.
They'll know what's going on.
57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Oh, on one of the quads?Yeah.
58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Heya, mate.How you going?
Yeah, good.
59
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,440
We're doing a burn at the moment,
so you gotta be
clear out of the area.
60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840
Right-oh.Don't be in the area.
It's going to be a danger zone.OK.
61
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:31,200
We'll get out of here, then.
Cheers, mate.
62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Cheers, mate.Right, thanks. See ya.
63
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,240
I didn't think they were going to be
burning here for a while,
64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320
but they must have had
a change of plan.Yeah, possibly.
65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,480
The fire is part of
a controlled burn
66
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,800
set by traditional owners
who serve as rangers here,
67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,280
protecting the environment.
68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Good to see you again, mate.
That's the way. Jacqui, how are you?
69
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,960
Good, mate. Good to see you.
Yeah, good.
70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
You guys are busy.
Always, mate, always.
71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,080
We do it just to control the grass.
72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,720
In the past we've had
a lot of wildfires out here,
73
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040
so this is the way
that we control it now.
74
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,160
So we do a lot of
our creek boundaries,
road boundaries.
75
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,560
That way when a fire does come in
we've got somewhere to stop it.
76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
We're all safe.
Yeah, everyone's safe.
77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
If you can give it a couple of days,
that'd be awesome,
78
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,960
but we have burnt Mount Madden...
Oh, really?
79
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,920
..so if you want to head down there,
that was burnt yesterday
and it's all out.
80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,920
We'll let you get back to it.
Thanks.
81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Good luck with it all.
See you soon.No worries. See ya.
82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,760
For thousands of years
83
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,640
traditional owners used fire
to manage the land
84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,040
in a practice called "cool burning".
85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Small fires are set
and carefully controlled.
86
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Cool burns preserve the trees
that give shade
87
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880
while burning the thick underbrush,
88
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,160
removing the tall grass and debris
89
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,320
that, left unchecked,
fuels catastrophic wildfires.
90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,320
I'm not real impressed about
having to head in to Madden.
91
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,320
I want to get the job done
that we're here to do,
and that's search Fish Creek.
92
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,040
But we did find some good gold
in Madden last year,
93
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240
so we can probably put
some good gold away.
94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,120
Oh, this is sort of the area
we want to be in, isn't it?Yeah.
95
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,680
I think we should get our gear out
and get started.
96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Well, Mount Madden's pretty much
as good as new ground now.
97
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,200
A log still smouldering.
98
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,240
With all that long grass gone
it's going to be way better.
99
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080
The side of this hill last year
was 4ft-high grass,
100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,680
and I really wanted to detect here
but couldn't.
101
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,600
But this year it's gonna be great,
be perfect for us.
102
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,880
So, this season Andy and I have put
that 50oz target back on.
103
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,640
It's a big target
and it's a fair amount of gold,
104
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,640
but we don't get paid wages.
105
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,440
We get paid in gold,
so if we don't find it,
106
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,760
then it's a bust for us as well.
107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,040
Still a lot of heat
coming out of that one.
108
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,040
These hollow logs, it doesn't matter
if they're lying down
or standing up.
109
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,440
Even if they run underground,
they can still burn for weeks.
110
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,960
The fire will get in the hollow
and actually work like a chimney
111
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,800
and just slowly smoulder its way
through these things.
112
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,520
Yeah, they can re-ignite fires.
113
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,840
They can leave hot spots underground
for us, too.
114
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,480
We just gotta be a bit mindful that
there are plenty of dangers around
115
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,520
after a fire, as well.
116
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:39,440
You're more guaranteed
to find gold in a gully
than you are on the side of a hill,
117
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,680
but the reason
I'm on the side of a hill today
118
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,920
is because of all the specimen gold
we found last year.
119
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,400
Chasing specimen gold
on the side of the hills
120
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,520
can pay off in a big way.
121
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,360
It's the sort of place
where you can hit a kilo or two
in a patch.
122
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,360
This looks good here,
123
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,720
cos you've got two little gullies
just coming into this main gully.
124
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,040
It's always worth swinging over
where these two connect.
125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,160
I wouldn't have been able
to get in here-
126
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,840
(SCREAMS)
127
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,600
Whoa!
128
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,960
BRAD: I've got the new loader
coming in.
129
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,240
This loader is gonna make
a massive difference
to what we're doing.
130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,560
The small loader's been
bloody great,
131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
but this thing
is three times the size.
132
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,920
Essentially it means
we can work three times quicker,
133
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,880
so we can lay our pads quicker,
we can move a lot more ground.
134
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,920
I think we're going to smash it out
this week, I really do.
135
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,920
I haven't actually told anyone
about this,
136
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,240
so a bit of a surprise.
137
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Either the wife's
going to be impressed
138
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,720
or very angry at me,
so we're about to find out.
139
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,160
What's this?Wow.Oh, my God.
140
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,840
Oh, my God.
141
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,560
Look at the size of it.
Where did this come from?
142
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,040
I bought it. Do you love it?
Yeah, it's great.
143
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,760
So, the other one's a 10-tonne.
This is a 30-tonne.Yeah?
144
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Oh, wow.Yeah.
Should move a bit more dirt.
145
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,560
I'm hoping it's a big week.
146
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,840
We've got new iron, new blood,
147
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,000
and I've got my family behind me.
148
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,240
The McGhies - Brad, his wife Wendy,
and 11-year-old son Bailey.
149
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,200
Look, it's here.Oh, wow.
150
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,520
To give his family the chance of
hitting their 50oz season target,
151
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,560
the McGhies gambled
on new equipment.
152
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,480
I've always wanted to crush
a lot of this dirt,
153
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,480
and now I've got
this massive crusher here
154
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,120
I should be able to get
the stockpiles crushed down
155
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,800
and through the dry blower.
156
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Wow.4.4.
157
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Oh, my God, you did it.(WHOOPING)
158
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880
Now Brad is doubling down
159
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,560
with the addition of a massive
30-tonne, 350-horsepower loader,
160
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,160
and to run the expanded operation,
161
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Wendy's sons Danny
and first-time gold-prospector Rory
162
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,920
are on site to lend a hand.
163
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,520
Family means everything.
We're always here
to help each other out.
164
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,640
So I'm out here to give them a hand.
165
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,200
More family, more hands on deck
is better for everyone.
166
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,480
WENDY: So, what's the plans?
DANNY: I've got an idea.
167
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,720
Since you've got the new loader,
what if we take the old loader
and run the dry blower?
168
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,600
And that gives you a chance
to go with Mum,
169
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,960
push some pads with the new loader,
and detect.
170
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,200
I feel like you need more training,
you know?
171
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,560
If you break it, it's gonna cost me
a lot of money.
172
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,880
I'm fairly confident in myself
that I'll be able to run it,
173
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,680
and I can run Rory through
the ropes of running the loader.
174
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,760
There is a new area I'd like
to push, but I'll tell you what -
175
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,120
you get one chance.
Do not break anything.
176
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040
We're the dream team.
We got this.Yeah.Hmm, yeah.
177
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,480
All right. So, Rory, you chuck
that drum right there, mate.
178
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:19,120
Danny, chuck a drum right there.
Yeah.
179
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280
So, that's your bump-stop.
That's your training wheels.
180
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,840
Do not hit that.What do I need
training wheels for?
181
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,480
If you hit that machine,
that's 65 grand, mate.
182
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,920
Do not hit that at all, at any cost.
183
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,040
Do not hit that, all right?
184
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,280
All right, I'm trusting you with it.
Don't break anything, guys.
185
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,040
So, let's get into it, eh?
186
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Let's show this old man
what we can do.Exactly.
187
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,200
So, my expertise, like,
what I've been doing
188
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,760
is blast-hole drilling
for the past year-and-a-bit.
189
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,520
Basically what we're doing here,
looking for gold,
but on a much bigger scale.
190
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:00,080
This is my first time
actually operating a loader.
191
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Pretty nervous, but I reckon
I'll get the hang of it.
192
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,280
Forward. Steady.
193
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,840
(INDISTINCT INSTRUCTIONS)
194
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Tiny bit more. Teeny bit more.
195
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,800
Yeah, right there. Perfect.
196
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,840
To retrieve the gold,
pay-dirt is loaded into the hopper,
197
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,040
then the material falls
onto riffle trays.
198
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,520
Compressed air is blown through
from underneath,
199
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,040
shaking the trays and blowing
the lighter material away,
200
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,880
leaving the gold trapped
in the riffles.
201
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,840
This is looking great.
I'm happy with it.
202
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,040
So, everything's running smoothly
so far.
203
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,840
You know, we came here
a lot of years ago
with the small loader.
204
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,720
We couldn't cut through
the ground properly, so we gave up.
205
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,680
I've always wanted to get back here,
because there could be
a lot of gold here.
206
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,760
This loader is absolutely huge
compared to the other one.
207
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,040
It just opens up
a whole new level for us.
208
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,960
Take it easy. Yeah, stop.
209
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Whoa.
210
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Man, what did you do?
211
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,000
(GROANS)
212
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,920
We're chasing this quartz vein,
but it's not been easy.
213
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,080
It started off
nice and chunky and fat,
214
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,480
and it's skinned down
to basically a couple of inches.
215
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,440
It's very difficult to follow.
216
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Paul's back in the picture
this week.
217
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Last week he was off
chasing his own little side hustles,
218
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,400
but from what he said,
219
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,600
sounds like we're not in the picture
for that.
220
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,680
It leaves us in a sticky situation.
221
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Yeah, we're still chasing
a 1,000oz target for the season,
and we're miles behind...
222
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,560
..so I'm looking at another project.
223
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,560
I'm waiting on some sample assays
that I've taken to come in.
224
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,240
If they're in my favour,
225
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,760
then I'm going to have to leave
Alex and Mel to it
226
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,720
and just go chasing, you know,
a bigger payday,
227
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800
cos this, at the moment,
isn't cutting it.
228
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,280
I need this for my family.
We've got bills to pay.
229
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,480
Bills don't stop.
230
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,480
It's been a bit tense finding out
that Paul's looking at
his own projects
231
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:53,040
that don't involve us.
232
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,520
It's a bit disappointing
that he's kind of gone off and...
233
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,440
Yeah.
234
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,400
Don't know what to say, really.
Just, yeah, bit upset about it.
235
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,840
Oh, look who it is.Hm.
236
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,640
Trust him to turn up
when we're doing a gold-weigh.Yeah.
237
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Showing up after the work's done.
Those are called blisters.
238
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,160
We could have done with you here
this week.
239
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,000
It's been an absolute nightmare.
240
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,000
NARRATOR:
Cracks have begun to appear
in the Gold Devils' team
241
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
of Alex Stead, Mel Wood,
and Paul Mackie.
242
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800
I've had to see
what other projects are out there.
243
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,200
The reality of the situation is
we've only got a kilo on the table,
244
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,080
so only 30oz,
and that's just not good enough.
245
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400
It's just not paying all our bills.
246
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,760
So what do we need to actually
balance the books again?
247
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,920
$30,000?(SIGHS)
248
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,400
Mel and Alex struggled
to run their operation a man down.
249
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,360
So, it's just the two of us.
250
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Yup.And I gotta make sure
that's OK, that's OK,
that's OK, and that's OK.
251
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,240
And that we're catching gold
at the end, yeah.All right.
252
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,240
Now the Gold Devils need
a massive gold find
253
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,280
to get their season back on track
254
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,160
and to keep the team
from going bust.
255
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,760
We can't keep going on like this,
256
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,080
so we need Paul to either be here
and work as a team
257
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,400
or, you know,
we're going to have to decide
258
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,280
to do something separately.
259
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,680
I hope that's not the case, but...
260
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,120
Yeah, things have been pretty tense
in the team for a little while now,
261
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400
and that basically comes down to
the fact that we're not producing.
262
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Well, this quartz is snaking
all over the place.
263
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,760
Better check in with Paul,
get his view on this.
264
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,240
This quartz vein,
it's getting real narrow.
265
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,560
I think we need to go down
and check out what's going on.
I'll come and have a look.
266
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,280
I'm just going to see
if I can find some good ground
267
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640
and hopefully bring some gold
to the table.
268
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,360
We've got an old mineshaft here,
269
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,440
which is a good indicator
that they found gold, so...
270
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,520
I'm going to stop here
and give it a crack.
271
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,880
(DETECTOR WARBLES)
Oh, got a signal.
272
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,400
Ugh. This is
really tough ground here.
273
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,720
All right.
274
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,440
(DETECTOR WARBLES)Oh, she's out.
275
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,800
(WARBLING CONTINUES)
276
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Wow, that sounds really good.
277
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,480
Oh, there we go. Well...we're on.
278
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,440
That's a couple hundred dollars
that we didn't have before.
279
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,800
Looked good
when you were digging it out.
280
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Well, I could hear the scratching
of quartz, so it's in there.Mm.
281
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,040
Deep in the Earth's crust,
282
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,440
metals and minerals exist
in a fluid state.
283
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,720
As they move up
through the Earth's crust
284
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,800
they cool and solidify.
285
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,160
Because of their complementary
molecular composition,
286
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,200
gold and quartz are often found
side by side in quartz veins.
287
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,880
Yeah.
288
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,880
Well, we can crush a bit up
and put it in the pan,
see if it is carrying.
289
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,800
No, we won't pan some up.
290
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,680
Why is that?We don't need to.
291
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,080
I can see visible gold in this.
292
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,240
Oh, yeah, right there.And up there.
293
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,880
It's got heaps in it.
294
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,680
That's a good sign. That means
it's super rich, but only narrow.
295
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840
The only thing that'll make this pay
is if there's a lot of it.
296
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,120
It might be narrow,
but if it goes on for 200m-300m,
that would be awesome.
297
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Let's see where it's going.
298
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Well, there's your continuation.
299
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720
That's nice-looking stuff.
On that far wall over there, too.
300
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Ah, yeah. Running into that wall,
and it hasn't changed.
It's about the same width.
301
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,720
That's good.That's getting better.
302
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,480
Unfortunately, with good
there is always bad.
303
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,440
Yeah?If it's going that way...
304
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,400
..it's gonna go right under Barnaby.
Right under Barnaby.
305
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,200
(JACQUI GRUNTS)
306
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,880
That tree just went down.
307
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,360
That was a bit of a heart-starter.
308
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,840
Hey, mate, are...are you on channel?
309
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Yeah, I gotcha.
310
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,360
I just had, like, a tree branch
fall down
311
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,440
and nearly smack me in the head.
That was terrifying.
312
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,080
You all right?Yeah, I'm OK.
313
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Just keep your eyes open
if you're working under trees
and stuff.
314
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,840
They're clearly still falling
after the fires.
315
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Yep, right-oh. Good call, mate.
Glad it missed you.
316
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,360
I think we should head further down
just to be safe.
317
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Stuff that.
318
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,640
That was a bit hectic.
Last thing we need.
319
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Tree falls on your mate's head
out here, knocks them out,
320
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,320
they're not going to be radioing you
to let you know what's happened.
321
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,960
It can turn into
a really bad situation.
322
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440
There's a reason
they're called "widowmakers".
323
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,720
The more time I spend in Palmer,
324
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,080
the better I get at finding gold,
325
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,440
simply because I've become
so familiar with what the signs are,

329
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,400
Sounds pretty decent, as well.
330
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,600
(DETECTOR WARBLES SHARPLY)Jeez.
331
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Whoo! Yes!
332
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,440
Decent chunk, too.
333
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Jeez, probably go, like,
3-4 grams at least.
334
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,320
300-400 bucks' worth.
335
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,400
That's awesome. Love it.

Bedrock is where you find
a lot of this gold, but...
339
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,280
it doesn't make it easy
when it gets trapped in there.
340
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,400
(DETECTOR WARBLES)In the scoop.
341

Yes! Whoo! (LAUGHING)
342
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,880
That is a nice piece of gold.
343
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960
Pushing ten grams there,
about a third of an ounce.
344
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,760
That's a chunker and a half.
345
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,640
There's got to be at least
1,000 bucks' worth of gold there
346
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000
that I've just picked up
off the ground.
347
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Stoked.
348
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,280
Little side gully coming down here,
349
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:42,480
and I'm way up
on the side of the hill,

but any watercourse
is a good place to look.

It's starting to get pretty steep
and slippery.
352
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,360
Once the grass is gone,
353
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,000
there's nothing holding the dirt
or the rocks in place any more,
354
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,960
so it's pretty easy
to have a slide now.
355
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,840
Just got to be careful
when you get on that steep ground.
356
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,880

to work.

straight through this.
359

360
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,640
It's not running any more, either.
361

I'm not sure
if it's cos of the impact
362
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,720
or we've done more damage
than we can see.
363

I don't really want to call Brad.
Hopefully we can fix it
without him knowing.

that he didn't want, and we did it.

370

Thank you.I hope you find gold.
So do I.

00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,720
This could be our first bit
of gold, huh?
372
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,600
Yeah, it's hard ground.
373
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,400
That's why we couldn't get
the little loader through it.
374
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,080
The big loader might be paying off.

is that...? (GASPS)

That's one of the biggest
I've found.

Look at that.I tell you what,
this area, I'm so glad we came here.
383

That's probably an ounce
right there.

he wanted the barrier put in place.

Hopefully Brad doesn't have to know.
DANNY: Yeah.
390
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Yeah, I was on a roll
and I accidentally hit
the accelerator too hard,
391
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,560
and I just smashed into the barrier.
392
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,680
Lift that.

Looks like we got lucky with this.
I'm hoping so.

to get away with it.Yeah.

out of me.

00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:45,720
Yeah, so, luckily
I didn't smash the dry blower.
401
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,000
I just smashed the safety barricade.
402
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,720
I really don't want to know
what Brad has to say about it.
403

I don't think I'm gonna tell him.
404

With good there is always bad.
405
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,120
It's gonna go right under Barnaby.
ALEX: Right under Barnaby.
406
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,480
Argh. It's always something.
407
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,360
Well, it's a job we never thought
we'd have to do,
408
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,040
but unfortunately...
409
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,120
..the stuff we're chasing looks like
it's going straight under,
so we can't avoid it.

Going to keep it nice and simple.
411
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,240
Strap a few big chains to Barnaby.
412
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,880
Attach it to this hook,
and hopefully be able to lift it up
and get it out of there.
413
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,960
Paul, if you just grab this chain
414
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,600
and just loop it right around
the back of that leg...
415
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,000
All right, shall we see
how it lifts?Give it a go.
416
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,240
She looks like she's ready to go.
Just see if you can take the weight.
417
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,960
All right.
Let's hope these chains hold.
418
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,920
If we drop and smash
the crushing plant, Barnaby,
419
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,120
that's 50 grand down the drain,
cos that's what it's going to cost
to replace.
420
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,000
That's the last thing
we want to see,
Barnaby crashing down.

Well, it flies.

Come on, Paul, pull it straight.
426
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,360
Put your back into it.

It's right on the edge.

I reckon that's got it. Beautiful.

We've lifted Barnaby out the way.
430
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,160
Now we can get on
to stockpiling dirt.

Trying to move more dirt
away from the structure,
432
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,240
and hopefully it's carrying
some good gold.

literally a metre away from
where I just found that other one.
436
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:28,680
I need to put a chain on
to drag behind me,
437
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080
because there's obviously
good gold here,
and I don't want to miss any.
438
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,920
That drags along the dirt
and it leaves a trail.
439
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,240
That way I know I'm not going over
the same area,
440
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,360
but I'm also
not missing anything, either.

Oh, my God, that is so heavy.
452
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,640
Seriously,
about eight or nine grams here.
453
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,440
Oh, so stoked.

Yes! All right.

On the gold trail now,
that's for sure. This is awesome.
458
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,760
That's another hole back there.
459
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,960
Couple of hundred dollars
in this hole here.
460
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,040
They're super close to each other
on this nice inside bend
on the creek.

Hey, mate, are you on channel?
Yeah, I gotcha.
464

I've hit a patch down here.
All right, well, that sounds good.
465
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,880
I can't walk anywhere
without finding a piece of gold.
466
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040
It's probably best
if I just help you, then.
467
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:22,840
I'll come down and get stuck in.
468
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,120
We're on, mate. Come get some.
469
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040
You've dug some holes.
470
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,880
(BREATHLESS) Mate, there are nuggets
everywhere here, seriously.
471
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,880
So every one of these holes is gold?
472
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Every one of these holes
is gold.Wow.

Let's just get it out.Yeah.
475
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,560
I need your fresh energy.(CHUCKLES)
476

by the sound of that.Yeah, mate.

Strike while that fire's hot.
479
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,200
Oh, look at that.
There is gold here.
480
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,120
You're right.Told you.
481
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,480
(DETECTOR WARBLES)
BOTH: There's one.(LAUGHS)
482
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,400
Mate, they're everywhere.
Down low, up high.
483
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,720
That's why she's the inferno patch.
484
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,720
There's another gram
in the jar, mate.Whoo!Awesome.

00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Keep going till there's none left.
487

There's another one.
(BOTH LAUGH)

Nice.Excellent.
489
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,360
Just pick those $100 bills
out of the ground, mate.
490
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,480
I'll keep doing this
till the sun goes down.
491
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,080
You WILL keep doing that
till the sun goes down.
We ain't going nowhere.
492
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,720
(WARBLE)There's another one.
Yes.They just keep rolling.
493
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,720
There it is. Whoo!
494
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,960
That's a nice one, mate.Ooh, yeah.
That's probably four grams.
495
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,520
How good is that?That's awesome.
Yes.Nice one.Chunker.
496
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,240
I can't wait to see the weigh-in.
497
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,240
This is gonna be epic.
I know. Yeah.
498
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,440
I can't wait to weigh this in, man.
499
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,280
Such a rush.
500
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,880
Hey, Rory, I'm pretty sure I've got
enough dirt in this hopper
to process now,
501
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,280
so if you're able to go, maybe,
do some detecting...OK, copy that.
502
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,640
We gotta get through 100 tonnes,
and so far we're killing it.
503
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,680
Time to detect this pad.
504
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,720
It's my first time detecting,
so we'll see how we go.
505
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,200
I want to be out here
helping my family
506
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,080
because they've always helped me,
so I want to return the favour.
507
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,720
I've never actually, like,
dug in the ground
508
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,640
and pulled out
a piece of gold myself.
509
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,360
I've always wanted to,
so hopefully today is the day.
510
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,400
(DETECTOR WARBLING)
511
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,080
Looks like there's some here.
512
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,240
(DETECTOR WARBLING SHARPLY)
513
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,520
Got something here, for sure.
514
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,800
That's good. It's just a process
of elimination.
515
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,560
Here we go.
It's definitely in here somewhere.
516
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,360
Oh, yeah, I can see now.
Oh, that's a big one.
517
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,760
I reckon this is
some first-timer's luck for sure.
518
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,960
I've never found gold before today,
and now I've found this whopper.
519
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,240
This could be, like,
around an ounce.
520
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,040
And this is exactly what we want.
It's exactly what we're looking for.
521
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,760
Brad's been here for years
and I've been here five minutes
522
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,760
and I've already found gold.
He makes it seem harder than it is.
523
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,040
He just needs a young boy
to show him how it's done, I guess.
524
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,800
WENDY: I reckon it's about time
Bailey has a go.
525
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,040
BRAD: Do you want to have a go?
BAILEY: Yeah!
526
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,320
All right.Go for it.
I'm gonna give it to you.
527
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,960
Got your pick.
Handing over the reins, darl'.
528
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,280
Remember, nice and slow.
Low to the ground. Good luck.
529
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,040
We'll make a gold-hunter
out of you yet.
530
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600
We'll let him go.He's on his own.
We get to relax for a bit.
531
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,040
You know, it doesn't seem
that long ago
532
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,600
Bailey was...was tiny, you know,
533
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,040
so it's great seeing him
working away...Yeah.
..and enjoying himself.
534
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,800
(DETECTOR WARBLING SHARPLY)Yippee.
535
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,760
I got one.
536
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Hey, Bailey,
have you got a target?Yes.
537
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Does it sound good?I see it.
Eh?I see it!
538
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,080
You see it?
Is it gold?Yeah.
539
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,040
Whoa.Did you find gold?(GIGGLES)
540
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,640
Give us a look.
541
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,960
(LAUGHING) Oh, my goodness.
542
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,320
Well done. You did that
all by yourself. Well done, buddy.
543
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,920
You're a gold-finder.Yes, I am.
544
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,040
I think I'm going to put that
in my pocket.
545
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,480
You're claiming it, are you?Yes.
Gotta go in the tally
when we weigh it all in.
546
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,240
All right. Time to get the gold
out of this dry blower.
547
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Yeah, let's do it.
What have we gotta do?
548
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,400
See these three top riffles?Yeah.
549
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,480
All of the heavies get caught there.
Gold, iron, like that.
550
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,360
So we'll take all the dirt
off these top three riffles
551
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,960
and then we'll grab the vacuum
and vacuum it all up.
552

(VACUUM MOTOR STARTS)
553
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,200
That's all good, so we'll take this
to the sluice now,
554
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,520
get it processed
and see how much we've got.
555
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Oh, this is our big moment.
Yeah, let's see how we go.
556
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,600
(GRUNTS) This gold's deep.
557
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,920
I tell you, it's a good way
to get fit, doing this.
558
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:20,400
(PANTING) OK.
559
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,960
Well, I hope that's out,
cos my arms are killing me.
560
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,440
(DETECTOR WARBLING SHARPLY)
There it is.
561
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Whoa, it's got a really good sound.
562
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,400
(WARBLING SHARPLY)There it is.
563
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,480
Oh, my God.
564
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Check that out.
565
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,880
Oh. This is why I love
the gold game.
566
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,200
Well, this is the final bucket.
300 tonnes down.
567
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,480
So far this season it's just been
little bits of gold coming in.
568
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,600
Hopefully this week is going to be
the first of many
569
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,760
and we're going to properly produce
some decent gold.
570
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,600
And I suppose Paul's going to know
if he's off on his side adventure...
571
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,720
..or if he's staying committed
to the Gold Devils.
572
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,600
Any time now I could get this call
that I've been waiting on.
573
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,080
It's the results of the assays
from the project up north.
574
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,760
If they come back in
like I think they're going to,
575
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,080
then that's going to be it for me
as a member of the Gold Devils.
576
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,840
Let's see what we've got.
Dump these concentrators.
577
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,920
The concentrators. This is
the final step of the process.
578
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,000
The coarse bits of gold
and the fine gold get caught here.
579
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,680
Washing all that concentrate
into one bucket
so we can process further
580
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,840
and then hopefully smelt
a decent gold bar out of it.
581
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,200
How's it looking?
582
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,880
Yeah, we've got fine gold in there.
Oh, yeah. Looks all right.
583
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,280
Time for the weigh-in.
Yeah. It was good to get back
to Mount Madden in the end.
584
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,240
Tell you what, I'm glad we got back
into Mount Madden,
585
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,280
cos having all this burnt ground
to work
586
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,960
made it so much easier to get in,
and it was worth it.
587
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,000
I mean, we wouldn't have hit
that patch if it wasn't
for the fires.Absolutely.
588
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
All right, I'm keen to see
what we got.
589
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,840
We did not leave a nugget
in that patch.
590
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,160
What have we got?
What have we got? (SQUEALS)
591
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,400
3.20. Lovely.
592
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,640
Nice.That's great.Nice.
593
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:42,640
I thought we could have ended up
with no gold from this prospect,
594
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:46,400
so to end up with over 3oz,
another great job, mate.
595
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,360
Whoo!That's awesome.Yeah.
596
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,080
There's another 9.5 grand there
for us.
597
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:55,320
Amazing.So, what, we had 8.5oz?
598
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,480
Plus another 3.2oz...
599
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,840
That's 11.7oz.
600
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:04,200
NARRATOR: Jacqui and Andrew's total
is now over $35,000,
601
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,680
but it's halfway through the season
602
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:10,400
and they're only a fifth of the way
to their target.
603
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,320
We better get back to work,
cos we're gonna have to punch it
604
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,800
for the next month or so
till that grass kicks in.
605
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,040
Yeah.Hopefully we can get back out
to Fish Creek now,
606
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,600
once those fires are cleared out,
and start exploring.
607
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,160
I'm keen as mustard
to get back there, mate.
608
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,400
You know I love making footprints
and getting that fresh ground.
609
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,920
Awesome.I know.
It feels like everything's been
stopping us getting there.
610
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,920
Then we get there,
do a little bit of work,
611
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,600
and then we leave again.
612
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,920
We won't be beaten that easily.
We'll get it.
613
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,080
No. We'll get there eventually,
614
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,520
and it's going to be so good
when we do.
615
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,160
Looks like you got through
a lot of dirt,
probably that whole 100 tonnes.
616
00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:00,920
Yeah, all the crushed dirt's been
put through now.Perfect.
How did you guys go?
617
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,880
We found some good gold.
I think you're going to be surprised
618
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,000
and a little bit embarrassed.
That's the amount of gold we found.
619
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,880
I'm sure you found some,
620
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,320
but probably not as much
as we found.We'll see.
621
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,480
The numbers will speak
for themselves, eh?
622
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:19,560
1.77.Yeah, that's pretty good, eh?
It's decent. That's good, yeah.
623
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,840
Let's see how we went, eh?
Let's have a look. This'll tell us.
624
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920
This is out of the dry blower.
625
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,280
Ooh, some good gold there.
626
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,200
That brings us up to 3.37oz.
627
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,640
So take away 1.77oz.
That means you got 1.6oz.
628
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,320
So the dream team wins.
Whoo-hoo, Bailey!
629
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,360
Yeah, boy. We win it.
630
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,320
So, before you start celebrating
over nothing,
631
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,800
I actually, er...
went detecting myself,
632
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,120
and I found this piece, here.
633
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,800
WENDY: Oh, my God!
You're kidding me.
634
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,760
Well done.That looks like
a painted rock. Did you paint that?
635
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,200
So, that's 0.9oz, which brings
me and Danny's total to 2.5oz,
636
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,120
and you guys got 1.7oz,
so I guess that makes us the winner.
637
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,080
Argh. Spewing.
638
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,520
Yeah, all right, look,
that's bloody well deserved, guys.
639
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,320
The McGhies' haul is worth
nearly $13,000,
640
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,440
and brings them to within 10oz
of their season target.
641
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,080
I'm proud of you guys.
You did it all on your own.
642
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,800
You ran the dry blower, you know,
643
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,480
and even Danny training Rory up...
I'd say youse did really well.
644
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,960
And I'm proud of you, Bailey.
You done bloody well.
645
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Didn't I?
You found your own bit of gold.
646
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,760
You're a master detectorist now.
647
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,400
Yeah.You could show Rory
a couple of things, couldn't you?
648
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,800
I reckon time to fire the barbie up
and have a beer. What do you reckon?

649
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,520
Let's do it. Well done.
650
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,440
ALEX: Well, that was
a really big week.MEL: It was.
651
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,480
Paul hasn't mentioned anything,
so I assume he's staying.
652
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Here he is.Hey-hey.Hey.
653
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,840
How did you go?
Yeah, good, actually.
654
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,920
Let's have a look.
655
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,640
Yeah, that's nice.
1.25oz.That's not bad.
656
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:13,640
That's pretty good going.
That's good.
657
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:17,160
Well, the mill also produced
and melted it down...Yay.
658
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,120
..and I think
there's a little bit more
659
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,240
than what youse were hoping for
for the week.
Really? Wow, she's heavy.
660
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,520
All right, put us out of our misery.
661
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:31,880
Whoa!Nice.29.1oz in total.
662
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:36,920
The Gold Devils have
over $87,000's worth of gold,
663
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,840
their best tally yet this season,
664
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,680
but they're still over 930oz short
of the season target.
665
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,840
Well, Paul, you haven't mentioned
anything about this other job,
666
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,960
so I assume you're staying -
or is that different?
667
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,600
I got a phone call earlier today,
668
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,960
and I've been stewing over it
all afternoon...Yep.
669
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480
..and they want me
for that operation.
670
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,160
So basically...well, that's the end
of the Gold Devils.
671
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,920
You're pretty much dropping us in it
672
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,080
to run this place
with just the two of us.
673
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,760
You know, I thought we came into it
as a team,
674
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,920
and it sounds like, you know,
you're on the big gold,
675
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,920
and erm...you know,
you just want that all for yourself,
676
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,920
and I wouldn't have done that
to you.
677
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,360
No, it...
That's not the way it is.
678
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,640
For the past year at least,
even last season, we struggled.
679
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:39,040
I've got to provide for my family,
you know?
680
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,920
I've got kids in uni, I've got bills
coming out of my head,
681
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,160
and I'm just floating
above the surface here.
682
00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:48,360
I'm literally nearly drowning.
683
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,200
So this is an opportunity
I've gotta take.
684
00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,560
You have to put
your family first, Paul.
685
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:02,080
I want you to succeed,
I want your family to be happy,
686
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,720
because, you know, we're friends.
687
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,920
We were friends when we started
and we're still friends now,
even if this is the end of it.
688
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,120
Yeah.Yeah. Our friendship's
the most important thing, so...
689
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,200
I want you to understand
it was not an easy decision.Yeah.
690
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,760
All right.What do you mean,
shake my hand? Come here.
691
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,720
Sorry, guys.
Good luck, Paul.No worries, bud.
692
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Now I'm upset.Yeah, well...
693
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,040
..that's the end of an era.
694
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,040
Yeah, I know.
695
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,480
I'll leave youse with it.
All right. See you, Paul.
696
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:49,120
Oh.You all right?Yeah.
697
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,680
It's a bit of a sombre mood
all round.
698
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,880
Erm, we've spent a lot of time
together, but...
699
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,040
..at the moment it is what it is,
and that tough decision
had to be made.
700
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,120
Just the two of us,
but as long as we've got each other
we'll be fine.Yeah.
701
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,800
It's sad.
702
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,280
