00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:01,770
AND THERE'S ANOTHER
SETUP THERE.

679
00:39:01,770 --> 00:39:02,970
POTENTIALLY,
I COULD GET SET UP

680
00:39:02,970 --> 00:39:05,140
TO GET GOLD
COMING IN RIGHT AWAY.

681
00:39:05,140 --> 00:39:06,400
IT'S...
MM-HMM.

682
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:07,510
IT SOUNDS LIKE A DREAM
COME TRUE.

-AND THERE WILL BE GOLD THERE.
-YEAH.

684

FROM .3 TO .6 OUNCES AN HOUR

685

AN HOUR.

686
00:39:17,820 --> 00:39:20,990
SO THAT'S -- I MEAN,
THAT'S PRETTY SIMILAR

687
00:39:20,990 --> 00:39:23,050
TO WHAT I HAD LAST YEAR
IN THE KLONDIKE,

688
00:39:23,060 --> 00:39:26,590
AND I HAD A PRETTY ROUGH TIME
MAKING THAT WORK, HONESTLY.

OF $10,000.

700
00:39:56,620 --> 00:39:58,820
WOW. SO, NOW THAT YOU'VE
GOT MY INTEREST --

WELL, IT DRIVES THE HUNT.

705
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:12,270
ANY GEOLOGIST WILL TELL YOU
BY LOOKING AT SOME OF THAT,

706
00:40:12,270 --> 00:40:14,840
THAT WE'RE NOT VERY FAR
FROM THE SOURCE.

707
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,240

I THINK WE CAN KNOCK
THIS ONE OUT OF THE PARK.
