1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,536
So, you found bedrock today.
2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,100
We found bedrock...
3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,036
Finally.
4
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:16,136
Sweet.
5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,376
That's awesome, man.
6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,276
You made our week,
our year, our month.
7
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,436
After five long months
with almost no gold,
8
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:27,576
Dustin's crew see a bright light
9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,860
at the end of the dark tunnel.
10
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:33,560
Bedrock does exist!
11
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:36,776
For the first time this season,
12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,100
14.5 feet down, Paul finally hit bedrock.
13
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,836
We're looking for the bottom of that.
14
00:00:44,860 --> 00:00:48,000
If the crew can follow
it to the deepest point,
15
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,660
there could be a fortune
in chunky nuggets.
16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,400
That's a big, big, big win for us.
17
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:00,876
We had a hell of a
time getting to this point
18
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,960
because this has been
a hard damn year for me.
19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,076
I'm running out of money.
20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:07,236
I'm running out of time.
21
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:08,760
The snow's on us right now.
22
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:10,636
Congratulations, everybody.
23
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:12,436
This is the start of our gold finding,
24
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:13,976
instead of gold digging.
25
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,236
It's prep, prep, prep,
26
00:01:15,260 --> 00:01:19,276
and then the finish is quick and bountiful.
27
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:21,436
What I want to find is all the nuggets
28
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:23,176
that are sitting there
waiting for us right now.
29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,136
They're up there going,
"where are you guys at?
30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,077
Let's go on a road trip."
31
00:01:27,101 --> 00:01:28,236
"I'm ready to see some fresh air."
32
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:30,100
"Let's go on a road trip"?
33
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,637
Whoa!
34
00:01:36,661 --> 00:01:38,036
James!
35
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:39,160
! What's going on?
36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,736
It broke the prop.
37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,320
We're just dead in the water right now.
38
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,576
We gotta do it today.
39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,476
Is it gonna be peaches and cream,
40
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,236
or just frickin' goddang noodle soup
41
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:52,436
for the rest of the winter?
42
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,460
Time's running out. We just
gotta get to the bottom of it.
43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,836
I'm seeing gold in the box.
44
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:00,837
That's amazing.
45
00:02:00,861 --> 00:02:01,876
Look at that.
46
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:03,436
We're back on the gold.
47
00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:05,760
This is awesome. Today
is gonna be the start.

Right now, it's not looking good, guys.
50
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:23,576
The snow is further down on
that mountain right now, too.
51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,537
It's insane.
52
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:26,076
I think winter is here.
53
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:27,436
We're running out of time.
54
00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:29,936
Who's supposed to be diving today?
55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,376
James is diving today.
56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,976
Okay. All right, so this morning,
57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,676
we're going to continue
on until we hit bottom.
58
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:37,976
We're desperate right now.
59
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,300
We have not found enough gold.
60
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,936
With $100,000 owed to his creditors
61
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,760
and facing the loss of
his nugget creek claim,
62
00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:51,876
Dustin's mining future will be decided
63
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,860
in what could be less than two weeks.
64
00:02:58,500 --> 00:02:59,636
- All right, everybody know what to do?
- -Yep.
65
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:01,136
- Yup.
- Let's get out of here.
66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,560
All right.
67
00:03:04,460 --> 00:03:07,376
If they don't find gold, I
don't even know what to do.
68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,260
We might have to shut
the doors on this place.
69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,300
I got some bad news.
70
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,600
So this is the end of...
71
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:19,900
This can.
72
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,660
This is our last barrel of fuel.
73
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,560
We're almost out of fuel, too.
74
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:28,536
Just so you know.
75
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,876
- What?
- Fuel.
76
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:31,460
We're almost out of fuel.
77
00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:35,436
This is the last jug for real.
78
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:36,900
There's no more in there.
79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,077
So we're out of gas?
80
00:03:39,101 --> 00:03:40,176
We're completely out.
81
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,336
That can is empty.
82
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,336
I don't know if we'll get
through the whole day with...
83
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,830
Even with one diver in.
84
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,276
Just my luck. We're on bedrock at last.
85
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,200
All right, let's see what we can do.
86
00:03:56,660 --> 00:03:59,736
That's another reason
to go into town, man.
87
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,636
This major oversight
88
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:04,836
means they must now
waste precious dive time
89
00:04:04,860 --> 00:04:08,500
on a 60-mile round trip
to the nearest gas station.
90
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,536
Piss-poor planning on my part.
91
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,836
If we get going now,
92
00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:19,276
we could be back diving this afternoon.
93
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:20,676
This is something we don't need.
94
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,436
We are running out of time.
95
00:04:22,460 --> 00:04:25,536
It's just one more thing
adding on to everything else
96
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,160
that's just been going
wrong for us right now, so...
97
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,076
So we're having to take my boat.
98
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:38,476
James' boat went down.
99
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,460
Paul and Wes' boat, their boat's down.
100
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:43,260
Fire me up.
101
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:46,100
Flip her up.
102
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:53,136
Get another pair of earplugs for him?
103
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,460
- I got 'em.
- All right. Let's get out of here, y'all.
104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,000
What was that?
105
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,660
Something hit.
106
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Get in the rope!
107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,560
It broke the prop.
108
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,700
Is it totally toast?
109
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,430
It's done.
110
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:32,676
So what has happened here is
111
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:36,736
the front beams completely disintegrated.
112
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:37,707
They just fell apart
113
00:05:37,731 --> 00:05:40,236
and what it did was it
tilted the engine up...
114
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:42,660
Enough for my props to hit the cage,
115
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,860
and the props exploded.
116
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,500
On launching, the air boat struck a rock,
117
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:54,660
sending a shockwave through the hull
118
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:58,760
that fractured the welds
on the motor mount,
119
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,376
causing the spinning propeller blades
120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,660
to hit the safety cage at over 5,000 rpm.
121
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,976
And now it's really gonna cost us.
122
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,436
And we're going to spend
a whole bunch of money,
123
00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:20,736
money I don't have,
on some new propellers.
124
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,560
There's only so much a human's
brain should be able to take.
125
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:27,260
At some point, you crack.
126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,236
Right now, we're just... we're stuck.
127
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:34,776
We have no way in or out.
128
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,876
But we're going to
have to spend some time
129
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:37,136
and get that boat going because...
130
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,936
We have no way to get
back in and out of here.
131
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,976
Do we know what size these are?
132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,860
There's a number on it.
133
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,660
It looks like it was 36-inch.
134
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:50,077
Yeah. Just keep that right there.
135
00:06:50,101 --> 00:06:51,600
Let me take a picture of that.
136
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,660
And this will give an idea.
137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,776
With all three air boats now out of action,
138
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,836
the challenge of sourcing
a replacement prop
139
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,000
falls to Alaskan Danielle.
140
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:07,936
Hey, you got me?
141
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,260
She is on top of it.
142
00:07:10,260 --> 00:07:12,136
That's a good thing
about having Danielle here.
143
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,460
That soon?
144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,977
That's awesome.
145
00:07:16,001 --> 00:07:17,300
Bye.
146
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,860
The propeller gets into Juneau tomorrow.
147
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600
Jesus, man. What a nightmare.
148
00:07:27,260 --> 00:07:29,200
I need it, but here we are.
149
00:07:31,060 --> 00:07:35,076
Dustin's next problem, how
to transport the propellers
150
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:36,960
100 miles from Juneau.
151
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,276
I don't know what to do about it.
152
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:41,636
And there's solutions for it,
153
00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:43,376
but I just haven't figured them out yet.
154
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,936
I'm not paying for helicopters.
155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,000
I can't.
156
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:47,700
We're broke.
157
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:52,000
But we keep going because
we're desperate at this point.
158
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,336
Let's go find some gold.
159
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,260
There's nothing else we can do.
160
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,860
Stranded at nugget creek,
161
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:05,400
Dustin's only option,
162
00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:08,636
continue dredging for bedrock nuggets
163
00:08:08,660 --> 00:08:10,560
until the gas runs dry.
164
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,236
You ready, James?
165
00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:15,300
I've been waiting.
166
00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:17,836
I'm going to go as deep as I can
167
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:19,936
and get back on chasing the gold.
168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,576
It takes tough guys
like us to get in there,
169
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,936
and, hopefully we can turn
these frowns upside down.
170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,976
We've got bedrock exposed.
171
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,800
Now we just got to find the gold.
172
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:31,337
You excited?
173
00:08:31,361 --> 00:08:33,236
- Yeah.
- I'm excited for you, man.
174
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:35,976
I want to be down there so bad.
175
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,676
Hopefully, by the end
of today, with any luck,
176
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:41,660
we'll actually find some gold
to pay for all this nonsense.
177
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,236
There we go. She's ready.
178
00:08:45,260 --> 00:08:46,636
Whoo! Yeah, I think so.
179
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,260
I think we're ready for him to be in.
180
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:49,876
We're burning fuel.
181
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,276
Watch the hair, all right?
182
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:53,000
All right. I'll try not to pull it.
183
00:08:57,260 --> 00:08:59,636
You're gonna find that gold today, James.
184
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:01,036
That's why we call him the gold hound,
185
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:02,336
'cause he can smell that gold.
186
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,576
Yeah.
187
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,036
We're just all crossing our fingers.
188
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:08,336
I'm gonna do what the gold hound does.
189
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,760
I'm gonna go sniff it out.
190
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Wow.
191
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:26,276
Good job on finding the bedrock, bro.
192
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:27,836
It's crazy this late in the season,
193
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:29,836
but this is the start of our dig.
194
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:31,336
I hope so.
195
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,636
We haven't hit the bottom yet,
196
00:09:32,660 --> 00:09:35,536
so we actually have to hit the bottom
197
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,400
in order to find gold.
198
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,360
The bedrock they've
exposed at 14.5 feet is sloping.
199
00:09:45,260 --> 00:09:49,976
James needs to chase it
down to its deepest point,
200
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,636
where there should be
a monster pile of nuggets
201
00:09:53,660 --> 00:09:56,876
big enough to pay off Dustin's debts,
202
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:01,230
and finally a payday
to make them all rich.
203
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:06,436
This bedrock definitely looks
interesting right there, doesn't it?
204
00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:08,200
Very, very interesting.
205
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:10,976
Wow, it's so deep.
206
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,336
I know.
207
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,136
Dude, I hope you find a
golden nugget down there.
208
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,260
I want to see a golden nugget come out.
209
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,460
Avoid this sucker.
210
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,860
This just turned into a fun dig.
211
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,236
James is super-excited.
212
00:10:29,260 --> 00:10:30,860
We're all at the edge of our seats,
213
00:10:31,860 --> 00:10:34,160
waiting to hear, waiting to find out
214
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,460
if he sees any gold down there.
215
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,360
I'm making pretty
good progress right now.
216
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:44,200
This is so fun.
217
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,200
All right. Well.
218
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,600
I think...
219
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,336
If I can get the pressure washer ready,
220
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,130
I can just see if I can
open up this spot right here.
221
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,280
So we got the power
washer up and running.
222
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,636
I love it. Such a small tool,
but such a powerful tool.
223
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:06,136
Are you ready for that pressure washer?
224
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,137
Yes. Yup.
225
00:11:07,161 --> 00:11:08,260
Coming down.
226
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,076
To speed up his progress,
227
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,736
James will use the
high-pressure jet wash
228
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,876
to send what should be gold-rich gravel
229
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:21,760
straight into the dredge hose.
230
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,460
We're doing some damage.
231
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,736
Hopefully, today is
the first real day of gold.
232
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,176
We need another big boost.
233
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,676
And, right now, a good gold nugget
234
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,400
would definitely be the boost we need.
235
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:54,800
What you got going
on down there, James?
236
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:57,876
I'm gonna open up some real estate
237
00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,660
and we'll see some gold today.
238
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,500
Yes!
239
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,436
Finally, we got some good news.
240
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:08,236
Things are starting to go our way.
241
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:09,260
This is awesome.
242
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,800
I
243
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:13,936
I've been waiting for this.
244
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,560
Today is going to be the start.
245
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,436
Up ahead... Time's running out.
246
00:12:19,460 --> 00:12:21,336
We're gonna be in real,
real, real, real trouble.
247
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:22,836
Hole is gone.
248
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:24,636
One step forward, three steps back.
249
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:25,936
The stress is getting to me.
250
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,600
I wonder if there's people out
there that have had the level...
251
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:32,860
Of failure that I've had.
252
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:45,836
Well, this is exciting, man.
253
00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:48,230
Dredging the bedrock.
254
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:52,300
Well, it's 16 feet deep.
255
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:56,000
I think it's going good so far.
256
00:12:57,460 --> 00:12:59,236
James is moving a lot of material,
257
00:12:59,260 --> 00:13:00,676
so hopefully, at the end of the day,
258
00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:01,900
there'll be some gold.
259
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,736
Three hours into his dive,
260
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,336
James has dredged
down one and a half feet.
261
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,336
He could be just inches from
the deepest part of bedrock
262
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,960
and its monster nuggets.
263
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,700
And I'm starting to open it up.
264
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:20,860
Nice.
265
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,460
We're running low on fuel.
266
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,036
But down to the last gallon of fuel,
267
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:35,200
he will lose his air
supply if the tank runs dry.
268
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,560
I think we still have a
chance to try to get something.
269
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:51,530
I really opened up this hole in good time.
270
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,136
Sounds like he had a
good plan of attack...
271
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,376
- Yeah, it's...
- And it's working.
272
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,060
It's working great.
273
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,076
He's been moving a lot of rocks.
274
00:14:08,100 --> 00:14:09,260
You can definitely tell.
275
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,600
, I'm out of gas.
276
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,237
We're done.
277
00:14:16,261 --> 00:14:17,576
Are you kidding me?
278
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,936
James. James, up.
279
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,376
- Diver up.
- Diver up, James.
280
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Diver up.
281
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:30,976
You're good? Go get warmed up.
282
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,660
We don't have any more fuel.
283
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,760
That's it, dude.
284
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,300
So we just ran out of gas.
285
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,276
We gotta make a gas
run, otherwise, we're just
286
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,860
we're just dead in the water right now.
287
00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:52,360
This is... The most
frustrating I've ever done.
288
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,560
I'm kind of checking out.
289
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:57,976
Yeah. We gotta go check the box.
290
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,560
Completely out of gas,
291
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:02,336
Dustin is desperate for the sluice
292
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,160
to deliver a glimmer of hope.
293
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,200
There's one piece.
294
00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:26,860
There's probably a little bit more.
295
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,536
Got one piece right here.
296
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,976
That's not a bad little piece of gold.
297
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360
There's got to be some
more gold in here somewhere.
298
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:39,676
Another little piece.
299
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,276
That's a good sign.
300
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,236
It's definitely getting better.
301
00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:44,836
We're back on the gold.
302
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:46,836
I think the deeper we go,
the more bedrock we find,
303
00:15:46,860 --> 00:15:48,020
the better it's going to get.
304
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,930
That makes me happy.
305
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,876
Now we've got to get
down to bedrock bottom
306
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,836
and hope we can find a bunch
of 6-ounce nuggets or bigger now.
307
00:15:57,860 --> 00:15:59,276
Well, damn good job, man.
308
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,560
We just... Got to get
to the bottom of it, man.
309
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,236
Despite finding pickers,
310
00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:08,836
the crew still haven't hit bedrock bottom
311
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:10,436
and the chunky nuggets
312
00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:12,600
which could save Dustin's claim.
313
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,076
It's gonna be close, man.
314
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,960
We just need to get in
town and pick up fuel.
315
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,307
Good morning, everybody.
316
00:16:37,331 --> 00:16:39,076
- Good morning.
- Morning.
317
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,360
We need to fix my boat.
318
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:49,036
To get the fuel to keep dredging.
319
00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:51,860
Dustin must fit new
propellers to his air boat.
320
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,836
So we're having to take a helicopter
321
00:16:54,860 --> 00:16:57,060
because all of the boats are down.
322
00:16:58,260 --> 00:16:59,736
He had no option
323
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,660
but go another $2,300 in
debt on an emergency flight.
324
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,500
Yep, we got our props.
325
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,360
Now we should be able to get...
326
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,076
Dustin's boat back together and...
327
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:17,600
We can run down and go get fuel.
328
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,536
I think you only have today to do this.
329
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,676
Yeah, no, I think we can get it done.
330
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:24,376
Okay. So you guys know what to do.
331
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,136
Yup.
332
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,676
But before they can fit the new props,
333
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,476
they must repair the
smashed motor mount.
334
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:33,936
So, right now, Paul
and Wes are going to go
335
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,636
and do some welding,
336
00:17:35,660 --> 00:17:38,336
and they're gonna try to patch
it together the best they can
337
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:40,136
to make sure we can
run up and down this river
338
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,436
until the end of the season.
339
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,260
We have to keep our boats running.
340
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,476
I'm curious to get this opened up
341
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:50,636
and see how bad this actually is.
342
00:17:50,660 --> 00:17:53,136
Wes got material, welding supplies,
343
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,276
so he should be able to get
Dustin's boat back to a condition
344
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:59,576
that it's worthy enough to
put a propeller back on it.
345
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,776
Wes will fit aluminum cross beams
346
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,636
to strengthen the hull
347
00:18:03,660 --> 00:18:07,060
and prevent another set
of props being destroyed.
348
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,976
Wow, that rib failed.
349
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:11,807
All that sank down
350
00:18:11,831 --> 00:18:13,560
and allowed the prop to hit the cage.
351
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,236
What's happened,
352
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:17,836
with all the rocks and
things that we go over,
353
00:18:17,860 --> 00:18:21,636
it's let the center of
this thing push way up.
354
00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:23,036
Because the engine is so heavy,
355
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:24,876
it's just pushed right through the bottom.
356
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,776
Half of the welds across where
this engine is mounted are broke.
357
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,136
So that's our plan.
358
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,576
We're gonna start
taking these things apart,
359
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,076
see if we can Jack this up,
360
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:34,260
put some kind of a
bracing across here and...
361
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:36,660
Beef it up a little bit.
362
00:18:43,860 --> 00:18:45,260
They're fixing the boat.
363
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:47,537
I'm just stressed out,
364
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:49,336
so I'm just trying to clear my head.
365
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,876
So, I need that boat running.
366
00:18:51,900 --> 00:18:55,200
It's priority. I need gold to pay for this.
367
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,776
That's way stronger than it was.
368
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,460
Wow, man, that bar looks amazing.
369
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,876
I think this is going to solve
the problems for the engine...
370
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:11,976
You know, trying to break
through the bottom of the frame
371
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,636
and the prop hitting the cage again.
372
00:19:13,660 --> 00:19:16,076
For the most part, I think we've
got it fixed as well as we can.
373
00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:17,077
All we need now is the prop,
374
00:19:17,101 --> 00:19:18,676
and we'll have this boat back online.
375
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:20,236
If we get this on,
376
00:19:20,260 --> 00:19:22,336
then we can make a
fuel run this afternoon.
377
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,836
That right now is the major priority.
378
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:28,736
Okay, the propeller has
been designed to operate
379
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,536
from 10 to 30 degrees
for optimum performance.
380
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,760
It's recommended to
start at 15 degree pitch.
381
00:19:43,900 --> 00:19:46,800
We definitely gotta make sure
we're not gonna hit the cage.
382
00:19:48,360 --> 00:19:50,660
The angle of the blades is critical.
383
00:19:52,660 --> 00:19:54,176
Too shallow a pitch,
384
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,236
and they won't generate enough air flow
385
00:19:56,260 --> 00:19:58,000
to push the air boat forward.
386
00:20:00,060 --> 00:20:03,476
Too steep a pitch will put
more strain on the engine,
387
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:07,036
and the added thrust will
make it difficult to maneuver
388
00:20:07,060 --> 00:20:08,400
and dangerous.
389
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,100
I think everything is set.
390
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:19,936
We got the old prop off,
391
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,976
we got those blades
out, put the new blades in.
392
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,436
I think Wes got the pitch set just right.
393
00:20:25,460 --> 00:20:28,660
I think we're ready for,
Dustin to warm this thing up.
394
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,136
See what he does
when he gets full power.
395
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,676
All right. Oil is checked?
396
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:34,776
Yup. Oil is good.
397
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,736
Let's get this thing fired
up, see if it runs, right?
398
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,700
- Go!
- Firing up.
399
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,737
It's still too cold.
400
00:20:47,761 --> 00:20:48,876
Yeah, it's just got to warm up a bit.
401
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:50,300
She's still too cold.
402
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:56,836
You hear that little whistle sound
403
00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:59,100
instead of that loud popping noise?
404
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,760
That is smooth.
405
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:05,176
Really smooth.
406
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,360
They're quiet.
407
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,836
I like that.
408
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:10,000
- Yeah.
- They're quieter than the last ones.
409
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,600
Look at that!
410
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,336
That's got some power now.
411
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,436
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
412
00:21:25,460 --> 00:21:26,676
That's definitely a win.
413
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:28,000
That's the best it's been.
414
00:21:29,260 --> 00:21:30,876
Congratulations.
415
00:21:30,900 --> 00:21:31,737
We got a boat.
416
00:21:31,761 --> 00:21:33,536
I love it.
417
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,676
We have an escape plan.
418
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:36,576
Everything is good.
Now we can go get fuel.
419
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,976
Thank you, guys, for that.
420
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,680
- That worked out.
- Yeah. Nice work, guys.
421
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:41,976
All right, let's get going.
422
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
We need fuel and we need it bad.
423
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:14,860
This is our supply run.
424
00:22:16,060 --> 00:22:17,836
I'm glad we finally arrived.
425
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:22,360
The fuel is enough to keep
us going and go for the gold.
426
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,360
Needing $100,000 to save his claim,
427
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,276
this fuel is Dustin's key
428
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,900
to unlocking the monster
nuggets on bedrock.
429
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:37,736
Let's get out of here.
430
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,860
And we can get back at it tomorrow.
431
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:56,836
That's a lot of rain.
432
00:22:56,860 --> 00:23:01,400
Overnight, the first winter
storm hits southeast Alaska.
433
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:03,976
We got some fuel.
434
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,100
If we hit the bottom today,
that would make my week,
435
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,436
but the weather is awful.
436
00:23:10,460 --> 00:23:14,260
Dustin and Danielle
return with the vital fuel,
437
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,360
plus another valuable asset.
438
00:23:25,260 --> 00:23:26,460
Good morning.
439
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,400
Did you fall asleep?
440
00:23:29,060 --> 00:23:30,760
Holy, man.
441
00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:36,536
Glad to be back. Went on my
military doctor's appointment.
442
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,376
Finally get me back in the mix of things,
443
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,376
and I couldn't be more freaking grateful.
444
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,460
Gold don't mine itself.
445
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:45,836
We're running out of time.
446
00:23:45,860 --> 00:23:48,536
I need the barrels out
of the boat right now.
447
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,160
- Copy that. Copy that.
- Gotta get the out of here.
448
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:57,836
Well, we're putting these
fuel barrels on the buggy,
449
00:23:57,860 --> 00:23:59,360
get 'em to camp.
450
00:24:06,260 --> 00:24:07,360
That's good.
451
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:13,106
If you go on the right side,
452
00:24:13,130 --> 00:24:14,576
- it'll fit better.
- -Want 'em to go on the right side?
453
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,836
- Yeah.
- Okay.
454
00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:17,300
That's good. Come down.
455
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,460
How about that? Good to go.
456
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,300
Look how fast that going, y'all.
457
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:28,976
Whoo! That's a lot of rain.
458
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,076
So, this water right here
usually comes from nugget creek.
459
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,076
So we gotta go check on the site,
460
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,636
see what everything looks like,
461
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:40,360
and hopefully our whole
world doesn't turn upside down.
462
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:44,836
The increased flow
ripping down nugget creek
463
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:47,560
is cause for extreme concern.
464
00:24:56,660 --> 00:24:58,936
Wrap my head around
what I'm about to see.
465
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,900
I know I'm afraid to go up there.
466
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,876
Man!
467
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:09,000
Goddamn. Look at that.
468
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:12,560
That's a lot of water.
469
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:15,460
Wow.
470
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,200
I hope we still got a dive site.
471
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:27,576
My god, it held up!
472
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,076
Yeah, it did!
473
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:31,300
Can you believe it?
474
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:34,336
12 hours of rain
475
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:37,576
have turned the dive
site into a death trap,
476
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,600
but the Weir has protected
their hole from filling in.
477
00:25:43,260 --> 00:25:46,736
The water is outrageous,
but the Weir held up
478
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,576
and it looks like we have a dig hole still.
479
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,836
The happiest thing for me was
480
00:25:50,860 --> 00:25:52,936
the dredge is still sitting there unharmed.
481
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,260
Everything seems to be
in good shape right now.
482
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,776
Yeah, I'm impressed with the Weir.
483
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,336
That makes me extremely happy.
484
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:02,900
I can't believe that held up.
485
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,300
Listen...
486
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:11,736
- Whoa.
- Dude, that fell...
487
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,336
- That came from up there.
- That fell... That came from up there.
488
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:17,530
- All right, everybody out.
- Everybody out!
489
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,660
See, we know there's landslides here.
490
00:26:23,660 --> 00:26:25,660
The walls are too saturated.
491
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,576
The waterlogged cliffs are crumbling,
492
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,100
unleashing death from above.
493
00:26:36,860 --> 00:26:38,660
Holy, dude.
494
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:47,076
We need to get out of here.
495
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,776
This is not the right place to be.
496
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,676
Let's just go back to
camp. Let's get warmed up.
497
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:53,176
Let's try to dry up a little bit.
498
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,300
Copy that.
499
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,236
I'm not exactly sure what
we're supposed to do here.
500
00:27:03,260 --> 00:27:06,136
Waiting for the rain to quit
before the season's out.
501
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,760
We finally got somewhere
and we're in trouble now, so...
502
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,276
We can only hope and pray
that the Weir holds up to its name.
503
00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:20,636
We still got hours upon hours of this.
504
00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:21,936
Tomorrow is another day.
505
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,460
It's another story. We'll see.
506
00:27:42,300 --> 00:27:44,336
Wow, that rain is something else, man.
507
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:47,260
Listen to that. That's crazy.
508
00:27:48,260 --> 00:27:50,036
A new day dawns,
509
00:27:50,060 --> 00:27:54,976
and the winter rains continue
to pound nugget creek.
510
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,576
That was more rain than we've
seen in a long, long time, right?
511
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,906
- Yeah.
- It's still going.
512
00:27:59,930 --> 00:28:02,636
Yeah, it hasn't stopped
since we looked at it yesterday.
513
00:28:02,660 --> 00:28:04,736
And it was already up so high, dude.
514
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,236
As far as that Weir goes,
that might be going today.
515
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:10,136
- Yeah, that's a good point.
- Yeah.
516
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,476
- Anybody feel like go and check on this?
- -Yeah.
517
00:28:11,500 --> 00:28:13,560
- I will.
- -My brain can't do it.
518
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:26,436
Unable to absorb another
blow, Dustin hangs back
519
00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:29,760
as his crew race to
assess the state of the Weir.
520
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,200
The dredge is still in the air.
521
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,636
That's good.
522
00:28:36,660 --> 00:28:39,436
Holy... that's moving.
523
00:28:39,460 --> 00:28:41,500
Yeah, it is, dude. Coming down hard.
524
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,660
Yeah, no diving that.
525
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:55,560
Hole is gone.
526
00:28:57,660 --> 00:28:59,460
Hole is gone.
527
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,776
Starting over. Again.
528
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,360
Kitty litter. Kitty litter,
kitty litter, kitty litter.
529
00:29:09,860 --> 00:29:12,660
- Dee, you gotta get a picture of that.
- -I will.
530
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:18,076
The storm surge has breached the Weir,
531
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:21,900
pushing tons of rocks and
gravel into the dive hole
532
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:24,860
and onto the exposed bedrock.
533
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,100
Who's gonna tell Dustin?
534
00:29:32,260 --> 00:29:35,836
Day two of flood watch, hole is gone.
535
00:29:35,860 --> 00:29:38,336
This is the same rodeo
we deal with all the time.
536
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,876
It's operation salvage our hole.
537
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:42,460
Start from the beginning.
538
00:29:53,300 --> 00:29:55,776
- Hi, there.
- Hi, there. How'd it go?
539
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,836
Well, it wasn't the best.
540
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:03,500
I did take some videos and pictures
541
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:05,836
so you can see it.
542
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:07,776
- Wow.
- That's the hole.
543
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,660
- There's a bunch of logs.
- Wow. That's a lot of water.
544
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,776
All right, so the Weir is
still intact for the most part.
545
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,236
The dredge is fine.
546
00:30:17,260 --> 00:30:20,260
Well, we got another flood.
We knew it was coming.
547
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,520
I'll have to wrap my head around that.
548
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,500
We can't work today.
549
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,760
- Yeah.
- Starting over's never easy.
550
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,876
No. Especially this late in the season.
551
00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:38,110
We just gotta wait for
the water to come down.
552
00:30:38,134 --> 00:30:39,134
Yeah.
553
00:30:44,260 --> 00:30:48,836
At 16 feet deep, Dustin's
crew were moments away
554
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:51,860
from hitting the gold-rich bedrock bottom.
555
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:59,000
But now, to remove the
storm infill could take days,
556
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,300
time they may not have.
557
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,736
I thought we were
there a couple days ago,
558
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,436
which is hard to stomach.
559
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:10,036
It's gonna take some
work to find some gold,
560
00:31:10,060 --> 00:31:12,060
finally, before the... damn.
561
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:14,460
Before the season's out.
562
00:31:15,460 --> 00:31:18,336
We are literally on borrowed time.
563
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,536
Summer came. Summer went.
564
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,636
And we're back into a
freaking Alaskan winter.
565
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:27,360
Not a good frickin' position to be in. Not.
566
00:31:47,460 --> 00:31:49,200
Holy moly, man. Look at that.
567
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,276
The water's dropped.
568
00:31:52,300 --> 00:31:54,436
Should be a good dive today.
Look how clear that water is.
569
00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:56,336
- Yeah, it's nice.
- Whoo-hoo.
570
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,630
Great dive day!
571
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,676
I think we're ready to
get the divers in the water.
572
00:32:01,700 --> 00:32:03,576
With the amount of
kitty litter down there,
573
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,176
it's going to take two divers to get this
hole back down to where we were at.
574
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,760
So let's get to dredging.
575
00:32:10,460 --> 00:32:12,660
Let's get ready to dredge!
576
00:32:17,860 --> 00:32:19,536
Hey, why don't you go get suited up?
577
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,436
- Okay. Got it, man. Sounds like a plan.
- Okay.
578
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:24,160
We got a lot of work to do.
579
00:32:26,100 --> 00:32:27,636
We gotta get after it.
580
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:29,536
The days are getting shorter.
581
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,776
Hopefully, we can get
right back into the groove
582
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,036
and right back to where
we left off, at bedrock bottom,
583
00:32:35,060 --> 00:32:37,636
because we're running out of time.
584
00:32:37,660 --> 00:32:40,376
We gotta do it today.
This is over real soon,
585
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,336
and what we take home and what we got
586
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,136
is what's gonna buy dinner.
587
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,976
Is it gonna be peaches and cream
588
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,536
or just freaking goddang noodle
soup for the rest of the winter?
589
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,100
- All right, get him in.
- -Copy that.
590
00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:54,236
- That tight enough?
- Yeah, that's good.
591
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:55,276
Com check.
592
00:32:55,300 --> 00:32:56,636
Got you loud and clear.
593
00:32:56,660 --> 00:32:58,160
Yep, that'll do it.
594
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,376
All right, now we're going in.
595
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,600
Good luck.
596
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,236
All right, man. I got a
lot of kitty litter, man.
597
00:33:09,260 --> 00:33:12,576
- I see no fricking bedrock.
- None.
598
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,360
I got my work cut out for me, guys.
599
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,976
Hey, Carlos, how bad is it?
600
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,400
I think we got about ten feet.
601
00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:26,136
Three days ago, the
crew were on bedrock
602
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,000
and finding gold at 16 feet.
603
00:33:30,460 --> 00:33:33,276
Now Carlos and James need to remove
604
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:37,136
around ten feet of gravel and rock infill
605
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,960
before they can start chasing the
bedrock down to the nugget pile.
606
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,976
How's your air, James?
607
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,860
- Pretty good.
- Okay.
608
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,376
James is in the water, Carlos.
609
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,936
- Welcome, James. Water's good.
- Come on in, bro.
610
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,976
It's good to be dredging
with you again there, Carlos.
611
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,160
Yeah, man.
612
00:34:06,460 --> 00:34:08,000
It's great having two divers again.
613
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,836
There's so much work to be
done down there with one diver.
614
00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:14,630
We're never gonna get there.
We've got to have two divers.
615
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:18,460
The hole's still here.
616
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,936
Just got a lot of kitty litter.
617
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,576
With any luck, we'll get
back down to it today.
618
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,860
Maybe find some gold,
too. That would be awesome.
619
00:34:41,860 --> 00:34:45,076
So, I'm finishing up the
repair on Dustin's air boat.
620
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:46,876
The propeller hit this muffler,
621
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:49,276
and I guess that started a crack in it.
622
00:34:49,300 --> 00:34:53,876
So I'm just doing a quick patch onto it,
623
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:55,336
sewed it back together, per se,
624
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,836
and, you know, it'd be good to go.
625
00:34:57,860 --> 00:35:01,076
Everything we do out here is
rough on all of our equipment.
626
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:04,160
- We break everything.
- It never stops.
627
00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:07,336
I just like building stuff.
628
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:12,036
If I go sit down then I get
stiff, so I try to stay active.
629
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:14,436
It's the only way you
can stay young, man.
630
00:35:14,460 --> 00:35:16,000
You go sit down and you get old.
631
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,436
Good to be dredging with
you again there, Carlos.
632
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:33,936
Yeah, man.
633
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,836
At the golden straits,
634
00:35:35,860 --> 00:35:40,276
Carlos and James are attempting
to get back to the bedrock
635
00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:44,400
and find a pile of nuggets
at the creek's deepest point.
636
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,360
Rock, rock, rock, rock!
637
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:53,760
You okay, James?
638
00:35:56,860 --> 00:35:58,000
Hey, James?
639
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:01,360
I'm all right, guys.
640
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,436
I just had a huge cave in.
641
00:36:04,460 --> 00:36:07,336
Yeah, a whole bunch of rocks
over their heads like that, it's no good.
642
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,860
I could see what was gonna happen.
643
00:36:10,260 --> 00:36:12,500
Let's just keep going.
644
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,630
So much kitty litter.
645
00:36:20,060 --> 00:36:23,860
The last time I dove,
I got rid of all this.
646
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,460
This is the kind of gravel
that I need in my driveway.
647
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:35,460
Over the next four hours...
648
00:36:36,860 --> 00:36:38,636
How's it looking down there, James?
649
00:36:38,660 --> 00:36:41,260
Have you found that bedrock yet?
650
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,436
No, man, just... Gotta
be getting close to it.
651
00:36:46,460 --> 00:36:51,300
James and Carlos dredge
5,000 pounds of rocks and gravel.
652
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,836
How deep are you?
653
00:36:53,860 --> 00:36:54,900
12 feet.
654
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,076
But they are barely halfway through
655
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,860
the kitty litter covering bedrock.
656
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:10,960
This sucks 'cause we're losing time.
657
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,000
I don't know what to say, man.
658
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,436
- Mother nature's winning.
- I'm getting sick of it.
659
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:19,500
One step forward, three steps back.
660
00:37:21,260 --> 00:37:22,976
He's gonna do kitty
litter and basket rocks
661
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,100
for a very, very long time, guys.
662
00:37:26,660 --> 00:37:28,630
There has to be a better way to do this.
663
00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:33,576
So, Dustin, he's feeling the pressure.
664
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,460
End of the season closing in.
665
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,636
Flood after flood.
666
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:40,400
And re-digging the
same hole several times.
667
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:45,800
Time's running out.
668
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,736
Man, this is killing me.
669
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,176
If we don't get any gold in this hole,
670
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,860
we're gonna be in real,
real, real, real trouble.
671
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,460
We're on borrowed time.
672
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,560
I need a break.
673
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:02,160
But almost out of time and money,
674
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,836
Dustin faces failure
675
00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:08,760
and what could be the end
of his gold mining career.
676
00:38:18,100 --> 00:38:21,400
I decided to come work
on the boat a little bit.
677
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,760
My frankenmuffler.
678
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:36,930
I just gotta get out of
my own head sometimes.
679
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,476
Sitting there hoping that
we're gonna find gold every day
680
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:46,000
starts to wear on you
after a couple months.
681
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,660
I'm hopeful that, before the snow flies,
682
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,830
we get enough gold
to make this all worth it.
683
00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,136
Honestly, I just, I get tired
of thinking about what ifs.
684
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,836
What if we couldn't find the bedrock?
685
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:05,100
Too much debris?
686
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,760
What if we can't afford to
come back next season?
687
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:14,900
What if there's no gold in this creek?
688
00:39:19,260 --> 00:39:21,500
The stress is getting
to me 'cause I'm failing.
689
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:24,636
Maybe I just wasn't cut out for this.
690
00:39:24,660 --> 00:39:27,360
Maybe I should have been
one of the laborers, and that's it.
691
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:29,636
I wonder if there's people out there
692
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:31,360
that have put this much effort in,
693
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,400
ever actually had the...
694
00:39:39,660 --> 00:39:43,860
Level of failure that I've had.
695
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,376
I'd like to know if
there's anybody out there
696
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,260
that's done 14 years of this
697
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,800
without a real pay day.
698
00:39:54,260 --> 00:39:55,800
Without hitting big gold.
699
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,536
On the season finale white water...
700
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,676
We're running out of time here.
701
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:19,736
We're about to get buried in snow.
702
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,860
Game on, man. Find some gold.
703
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:25,136
We're trying our hardest right now
704
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,430
to get everything out of
this dig that we can get.
705
00:40:30,860 --> 00:40:33,000
- Found bedrock.
- Whoo-hoo!
706
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,676
Water drop!
707
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:37,460
We're about to get a damn flash flood.
708
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,760
Here it comes.
709
00:40:42,830 --> 00:40:44,976
Another day like this, I
don't think we can survive it.
710
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,260
One of us is gonna die.
711
00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:53,300
Is this is real, or am I dreaming?
712
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,436
Ooh!
713
00:40:58,460 --> 00:41:02,976
My god! Whoo!
714
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,560
That's amazing. Look at that.
715
00:41:06,460 --> 00:41:08,636
I can see gold in the box, too.
716
00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:11,560
James, dude, Nick of time, man.
717
00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:17,360
About damn time.
718
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,476
My plan is to keep going.
719
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,060
Let's do it.
720
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,160
This is just the start.
720
00:41:25,305 --> 00:42:25,161
