00:00:01,058 --> 00:00:02,291
HUH!
2
00:00:04,594 --> 00:00:06,161
PIPE ALMOST KNOCKED PARKER IN THE DRINK.
3
00:00:08,432 --> 00:00:10,632
CAN'T SAY IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ME LAUGH.
4
00:00:10,634 --> 00:00:12,501
Narrator: ON THIS "GOLD RUSH"...
5
00:00:15,205 --> 00:00:17,806
YOU KNOW, I'M ABOUT DONE NOT REACHING OUR GOAL.
6
00:00:17,808 --> 00:00:19,474
WE'RE ALL TIRED OF LOSING.
7
00:00:19,476 --> 00:00:21,110
I DON'T KNOW IF I SEE A FUTURE HERE.
8
00:00:21,112 --> 00:00:23,445
WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?
9
00:00:23,447 --> 00:00:26,014
WE NEED TO GO FIND ANOTHER PROPERTY.
10
00:00:26,016 --> 00:00:29,552
WE'VE NEVER MINED A YARD OF DIRT THAT DIDN'T HAVE GOLD IN IT.
11
00:00:36,527 --> 00:00:38,327
THAT'S A LOAD OF WEIGHT.
12
00:00:46,904 --> 00:00:48,937
IF THERE'S GOLD IN HERE, WE SHOULD GET IT, MAN.
13
00:00:48,939 --> 00:00:50,839
HEY, MAN, DID YOU SHUT THE WATER OFF?
14
00:00:50,841 --> 00:00:52,541
NO.
15
00:00:52,543 --> 00:00:56,244
Tony's stripping into our pond.
16
00:00:56,246 --> 00:00:58,247
I'LL GO TALK TO OUR KLONDIKE HERE
17
00:00:58,249 --> 00:01:01,516
AND SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF.
18
00:01:01,518 --> 00:01:03,852
WELL, YOU CAN'T JUST DENY US WATER.
19

00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:41,089
Todd: IT'S BEEN A TOUGH YEAR.
23
00:01:41,091 --> 00:01:45,960
WE'RE NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE WE'D THOUGHT WE'D BE.
24
00:01:45,962 --> 00:01:48,030
YEAH, WE GOT SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS,
25
00:01:48,032 --> 00:01:50,832
THAT MEANS THAT WE ONLY GOT A FEW WEEKS LEFT,
26
00:01:50,834 --> 00:01:53,102
SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO GET AS MUCH GOLD AS WE CAN.
27
00:01:56,273 --> 00:01:59,073
Narrator: TODD HOFFMAN HAS FINALLY HIT
28
00:01:59,075 --> 00:02:03,312
HIS BREAK-EVEN POINT OF 1,500 OUNCES,
29
00:02:03,314 --> 00:02:07,249
BUT THE END OF THE MINING SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING.
30
00:02:07,251 --> 00:02:11,419
WE'RE NOT GONNA HIT OUR 5,000 OUNCES, BUT WE'RE PROFITABLE,
31
00:02:11,421 --> 00:02:14,122
AND EVERY ONE OF OUR GUYS IS GONNA TAKE SOME GOLD HOME.
32
00:02:17,127 --> 00:02:21,029
Narrator: HIS CREW IS RUNNING BOTH THEIR WASH PLANTS HARD,
33
00:02:21,031 --> 00:02:24,632
HOPING TO GENERATE A PROFIT.
34
00:02:24,634 --> 00:02:27,135
FREDDY'S DOING A A GOOD JOB DOWN HERE AT RUSTY RED.
35
00:02:27,137 --> 00:02:29,471
HE'S RUNNING 250 YARDS AN HOUR.
36
00:02:32,042 --> 00:02:34,042
HUNTER'S UP THERE, RUNNING HOLY ROLLER.
37
00:02:35,913 --> 00:02:38,914
WE'RE GONNA TRY TO WORK OUR WAY TO 400 YARDS AN HOUR.
38
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,519
HOW FAST CAN I FEED THIS THING?
39
00:02:48,892 --> 00:02:53,395
Narrator: HUNTER IS LOADING ALL THE PAY DIRT HE CAN THROUGH HOLY ROLLER.
40
00:02:56,434 --> 00:02:57,766
HUNTER, IS THERE A -TON OF WATER
41
00:02:57,768 --> 00:02:59,200
COMING OUT OF THE FEEDER?
42
00:02:59,202 --> 00:03:01,070
THERE'S WATER COMING DOWN THE HILL.
43
00:03:07,611 --> 00:03:09,411
OKAY. THE TROMMEL STOPPED.
44
00:03:09,413 --> 00:03:10,379
THE TROMMEL STOPPED.
45
00:03:10,381 --> 00:03:12,381
THAT'S WHY THERE'S WATER FLOWING.
46
00:03:15,085 --> 00:03:17,986
THIS CANNOT BE REAL.
47
00:03:17,988 --> 00:03:19,121
DID OUR PUMP SHUT OFF?
48
00:03:19,123 --> 00:03:20,956
DID WE LOSE SOME OF OUR WATER, OR WHAT?
49
00:03:20,958 --> 00:03:23,925
BECAUSE THE TROMMEL JUST STOPPED SPINNING.
50
00:03:26,997 --> 00:03:28,263
I have no idea.
51
00:03:31,535 --> 00:03:35,938
We got a ton of material on this end.
52
00:03:35,940 --> 00:03:38,206
DUDE, HOW THE DOES THIS HAPPEN?
53
00:03:38,208 --> 00:03:40,209
WHY WAS IT OVERFLOWING?
54
00:03:40,211 --> 00:03:42,010
OKAY. LOOK.
55
00:03:42,012 --> 00:03:44,780
THE TROMMEL WASN'T OPEN. THE TROMMEL WAS CLOSED.
56
00:03:44,782 --> 00:03:46,749
REALLY? THERE WAS NO WATER GOING IN THAT?
57
00:03:46,751 --> 00:03:48,550
THERE WAS NO WATER SPRAYING IN IT.
58
00:03:48,552 --> 00:03:51,086
I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS STOPPED, THOUGH.
59
00:03:51,088 --> 00:03:54,389
'CAUSE IT'S FULL OF DIRT, DUDE.
60
00:03:54,391 --> 00:03:56,592
WE DID SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T WANNA DO TO YOUR TROMMEL:
61
00:03:56,594 --> 00:03:59,127
WE FILLED IT FULL OF DIRT.
62
00:03:59,129 --> 00:04:04,700
NOW IT WON'T SPIN. IT WON'T PUKE THE DIRT OUT.
63
00:04:04,702 --> 00:04:07,068
DUDE, IT'S JUST BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.
64
00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:08,437
WE CAN'T GET GOING.
65
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:13,208
Narrator: 1,5000 GALLONS OF WATER A MINUTE
66
00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:17,312
PUSH PAY DIRT FROM THE FEEDER INTO THE TROMMEL.
67
00:04:17,314 --> 00:04:21,116
ANOTHER 1,000 GALLONS OF WATER FROM THE SPRAY NOZZLES
68
00:04:21,118 --> 00:04:23,585
WASH GOLD OFF THE ROCKS
69
00:04:23,587 --> 00:04:27,388
AND PUSH TAILINGS THROUGH THE TROMMEL.
70
00:04:27,390 --> 00:04:32,394
BUT, KEVIN FORGOT THE TURN ON THE WATER FOR THE SPRAY BARS
71
00:04:32,396 --> 00:04:34,396
AND THE ROCKS PILED UP
72
00:04:34,398 --> 00:04:37,833
UNTIL THEIR WEIGHT STOPPED THE TROMMEL.
73
00:04:40,537 --> 00:04:41,736
I GOTTA GO GET SOME SHOVELS.
74
00:04:41,738 --> 00:04:44,273
WE GOTTA DIG OUT THE ROLLER.
75
00:04:46,376 --> 00:04:47,709
I THINK GOD IS SAYING,
76
00:04:47,711 --> 00:04:50,111
"DON'T CALL YOUR TROMMEL A HOLY ROLLER."
77
00:04:50,113 --> 00:04:51,713
NO, IT'S MORE LIKE HOLY
78
00:04:51,715 --> 00:04:54,683
THIS THING NEVER RUNS.
79
00:04:54,685 --> 00:04:56,284
WE CAN NEVER RUN 2 HOURS
80
00:04:56,286 --> 00:04:58,453
WITHOUT SOMETHING UP.
81
00:04:58,455 --> 00:05:01,723
LOT OF ROCK.
82
00:05:01,725 --> 00:05:03,625
ALL RIGHT, GUYS. THAT SHOULD BE GOOD.
83
00:05:03,627 --> 00:05:04,692
LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT.
84
00:05:08,232 --> 00:05:12,567
COME ON, BABY!
85
00:05:12,569 --> 00:05:14,136
-ALL RIGHT! -THERE IT GOES.
86
00:05:14,138 --> 00:05:16,738
YEAH-EAH-EAH!
87
00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:19,942
Narrator: HOLY ROLLER IS BACK, ROLLING,
88
00:05:19,944 --> 00:05:24,245
BUT THEY'VE LOST ANOTHER 2 HOURS OF PRECIOUS RUN TIME.
89
00:05:27,051 --> 00:05:29,251
Hunter: YOU KNOW, I'M ABOUT DONE WITH FIXING THIS WASH PLANT.
90
00:05:29,253 --> 00:05:32,754
WE CAN'T EVEN RUN FOR AN HOUR WITHOUT SOMETHING GOING WRONG.
91
00:05:32,756 --> 00:05:34,022
I'M TIRED OF LOSING.
92
00:05:34,024 --> 00:05:36,724
WE'RE ALL TIRED OF NOT REACHING OUR GOAL.
93
00:05:36,726 --> 00:05:40,596
Narrator: A STRING OF SHUTDOWNS AND LOW-QUALITY PAY DIRT
94
00:05:40,598 --> 00:05:43,432
MEANS THE HOLY ROLLER HAS ONLY AVERAGED
95
00:05:43,434 --> 00:05:47,402
21 OUNCES OF GOLD PER WEEK.
96
00:05:47,404 --> 00:05:49,470
Hunter: WHATEVER WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW ISN'T WORKING.
97
00:05:49,472 --> 00:05:52,474
YOU KNOW, IF WE DON'T FIND BETTER GROUND
98
00:05:52,476 --> 00:05:55,243
AND MORE GROUND WITH BETTER GOLD, THEN,
99
00:05:55,245 --> 00:05:58,046
I DON'T KNOW IF I SEE A FUTURE HERE.
100
00:05:58,048 --> 00:06:00,548
WE'RE JUST RUNNING DIRT FOR THE FUN OF IT RIGHT NOW.
101
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:03,552
WE'RE NEVER GONNA GET 5,000 AT FAIRPLAY.
102
00:06:03,554 --> 00:06:06,088
HEY, DAD, DO YOU HAVE A COPY?
103
00:06:06,090 --> 00:06:08,523
Yeah, I got a copy. What's up?
104
00:06:08,525 --> 00:06:10,225
CAN YOU MEET ME UP HERE AT THE FEEDER?
105
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,501
DUDE, IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FUTURE MINING,
106
00:06:19,503 --> 00:06:22,871
WE NEED GROUND THAT HAS BETTER GOLD THAN THIS.
107
00:06:22,873 --> 00:06:25,606
WHAT'S GOING ON?
108
00:06:25,608 --> 00:06:27,642
YOU KNOW, WE CAN FINISH OUT THE SEASON HERE,
109
00:06:27,644 --> 00:06:29,710
BUT, WE CAN'T COME BACK HER NEXT YEAR,
110
00:06:29,712 --> 00:06:31,579
BUST OUR ASS FOR 7 MONTHS,
111
00:06:31,581 --> 00:06:34,316
AND THEN GO HOME AND FEEL LIKE FAILURES.
112
00:06:34,318 --> 00:06:36,118
I'M NOT GONNA COME BACK HERE NEXT YEAR TO GET
113
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,954
2,000 OR 3,000 OUNCES AND MINE THIS PROPERTY.
114
00:06:39,956 --> 00:06:41,990
I WANNA GO FOR 5,000 OUNCES.
115
00:06:41,992 --> 00:06:44,125
WE'VE BEEN GOING FOR IT FOR 2 YEARS, OKAY?
116
00:06:44,127 --> 00:06:46,094
I DON'T WANNA GIVE UP NOW.
117
00:06:46,096 --> 00:06:48,830
YEAH, I KNOW.
118
00:06:48,832 --> 00:06:50,098
I'M NOT HAPPY, EITHER, HUNTER.
119
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,633
I'M NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING.
120
00:06:51,635 --> 00:06:53,702
I MEAN, I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.
121
00:06:53,704 --> 00:06:56,938
SO, WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?
122
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:58,339
WE NEED TO GO FIND ANOTHER PROPERTY.
123
00:07:01,578 --> 00:07:02,844
SO I DON'T KNOW. I WANNA GO SEE
124
00:07:02,846 --> 00:07:04,779
IF WE COULD LEASE A PIECE OF LAND.
125
00:07:04,781 --> 00:07:06,547
I WANNA GO LOOK AT THE ALMA PLACER.
126
00:07:06,549 --> 00:07:08,417
IT'S 6 MILES DOWN THE ROAD.
127
00:07:08,419 --> 00:07:10,952
IT'S THE BIGGEST MINE IN COLORADO, SO,
128
00:07:10,954 --> 00:07:12,387
I WANNA GO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.
129
00:07:12,389 --> 00:07:13,988
WELL, THEY MIGHT TELL US TO GET THE HELL
130
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:15,323
OUTTA HERE, TOO,
131
00:07:15,325 --> 00:07:18,126
BUT LET'S GO GRAB MY TRUCK AND DRIVE OVER THERE.
132
00:07:18,128 --> 00:07:19,194
SOUND GOOD? -YEAH.
133
00:07:19,196 --> 00:07:21,896
CAN'T HURT TO ASK.
134
00:07:21,898 --> 00:07:24,833
YOU KNOW, MY DAD WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO BRING UP 5,000 OUNCES
135
00:07:24,835 --> 00:07:27,469
AND WE ALL THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY FOR THAT,
136
00:07:27,471 --> 00:07:31,139
BUT, I STARTED TO BELIEVE THE IDEA.
137
00:07:31,141 --> 00:07:32,874
WE NEED TO ACTUALLY WIN NEXT SEASON,
138
00:07:32,876 --> 00:07:36,411
AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN AFFORD TO JUST PLAY IT SAFE.
139
00:07:54,231 --> 00:07:57,165
Narrator: AT THISTLE CREEK, TONY BEETS IS RACING
140
00:07:57,167 --> 00:08:00,635
TO DISMANTLE HIS SECOND MILLION-DOLLAR DREDGE.
141
00:08:04,574 --> 00:08:08,576
WITH WINTER CLOSING IN, HE'S GOT A FEW SHORT WEEKS
142
00:08:08,578 --> 00:08:11,513
TO REMOVE THE HEAVIEST PIECES AND SHIP THEM
143
00:08:11,515 --> 00:08:15,417
DOWN THE YUKON RIVER BEFORE IT FREEZES OVER.
144
00:08:15,419 --> 00:08:17,185
WINCH IT UP. WINCH IT UP.
145
00:08:37,474 --> 00:08:41,409
Narrator: THE BUCKET LADDER IS THE PIVOTED STEEL ARM
146
00:08:41,411 --> 00:08:43,845
THE DREDGE BUCKETS ROTATE AROUND.
147
00:08:47,317 --> 00:08:51,620
MIKE BEETS WILL MAKE THE LIFT, USING THE 50-TON CRANE.
148
00:09:44,141 --> 00:09:45,874
23 TONS.
149
00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:56,017
OUR LITTLE PROBLEM IS WE DON'T HAVE
150
00:09:56,019 --> 00:09:57,619
ENOUGH LIFTING POWER.
151
00:09:57,621 --> 00:10:00,155
23 TONS, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN HALF THE WEIGHT.
152
00:10:02,725 --> 00:10:03,858
THE TWO CRANES ARE GONNA
153
00:10:03,860 --> 00:10:05,393
HAVE TROUBLE LIFTING THIS, TONY.
154
00:10:16,907 --> 00:10:18,273
THERE IS A JOINT IN THE MIDDLE.
155
00:10:21,278 --> 00:10:22,344
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY
156
00:10:22,346 --> 00:10:24,212
TO SUPPORT THE BACK.
157
00:10:24,214 --> 00:10:26,615
Narrator: SPLITTING THE BUCKET LADDER IN TWO
158
00:10:26,617 --> 00:10:28,950
WILL LEAVE ITS HEAVY, TOP SECTION
159
00:10:28,952 --> 00:10:32,387
HANGING DANGEROUSLY, 30 FEET IN THE AIR.
160
00:10:50,107 --> 00:10:51,306
WE'LL PICK IT UP.
161
00:10:53,076 --> 00:10:54,176
YEP.
162
00:10:58,915 --> 00:11:00,615
ABSOLUTELY.
163
00:11:02,051 --> 00:11:03,318
Narrator: TONY'S PLAN?
164
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,590
LIFT THE BUCKET LADDER, USING THE 50-TON CRANE.
165
00:11:08,592 --> 00:11:12,760
THEN USE THE 20-TON CRANE TO RAISE THE DREDGE PONTOON
166
00:11:12,762 --> 00:11:14,696
AND SLIDE IT UNDERNEATH.
167
00:11:16,299 --> 00:11:21,436
NEXT, TONY WILL REMOVE THE BOLTS HOLDING THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER
168
00:11:21,438 --> 00:11:23,338
AND USE THE TWO CRANES
169
00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:25,974
TO REMOVE THE LOWER SECTION OF THE BUCKET LADDER.
170
00:12:34,611 --> 00:12:36,510
Narrator: TONY BEETS AND CREW
171
00:12:36,512 --> 00:12:41,382
ARE STRUGGLING TO LIFT A SECTION OF PONTOON ON HIS SECOND DREDGE,
172
00:12:41,384 --> 00:12:44,419
WHICH IS STILL STRANDED AT THISTLE CREEK.
173
00:12:51,761 --> 00:12:53,928
Christie: THERE WE GO! IT POPPED OUT.
174
00:13:18,054 --> 00:13:19,120
YEAH.
175
00:14:23,053 --> 00:14:24,218
WHOA WHOA WHOA.
176
00:14:47,043 --> 00:14:50,178
Hoekstra: AT FACE FOR SURE.
177
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:52,279
THE ONLY THING, WE HAVE TO LOWER THE BUCKET LADDER NOW
178
00:14:52,281 --> 00:14:54,616
AND THEN LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
179
00:15:00,957 --> 00:15:04,092
Narrator: IF TONY'S MISCALCULATED,
180
00:15:04,094 --> 00:15:06,727
THE WEIGHT OF THE BUCKET LADDER COULD CRUSH
181
00:15:06,729 --> 00:15:09,531
THE RUSTY, 70-YEAR-OLD PONTOON.
182
00:15:26,015 --> 00:15:27,081
GOOD.
183
00:15:47,537 --> 00:15:50,337
COME ON. UP HERE. COME ON.
184
00:15:50,339 --> 00:15:55,209
Narrator: PARKER SCHNABEL HAS SMASHED HIS 5,000-OUNCE SEASON GOAL.
185
00:15:55,211 --> 00:15:59,547
NOW, HE'S PUTTING HIS GOLD TO WORK.
186
00:15:59,549 --> 00:16:02,517
HE'S BOUGHT HIS OWN PIECE OF KLONDIKE GROUND
187
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,253
TO HELP HIM BREAK FREE FROM TONY BEETS
188
00:16:05,255 --> 00:16:08,056
AND HIS 25% ROYALTIES.
189
00:16:08,058 --> 00:16:10,558
IT'S A HALF-MILLION- DOLLAR GAMBLE
190
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,628
THAT'S HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
191
00:16:13,630 --> 00:16:15,530
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE FIRST CHUNK OF GROUND
192
00:16:15,532 --> 00:16:18,099
THAT WE'VE BOUGHT HERE IN THE YUKON
193
00:16:18,101 --> 00:16:21,002
AND, YOU KNOW, AFTER 5 YEARS OF LOOKING,
194
00:16:21,004 --> 00:16:25,205
I'M PRETTY HAPPY THAT WE MADE IT HAPPEN.
195
00:16:25,207 --> 00:16:26,875
BUT IT'S ALSO PRETTY DAMN SCARY.
196
00:16:26,877 --> 00:16:28,076
WE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS,
197
00:16:28,078 --> 00:16:32,313
ON THE PROMISE THAT THERE WAS GOLD IN A PIT,
198
00:16:32,315 --> 00:16:37,018
AND IT'S REALLY NOT LOOKING LIKE THERE IS.
199
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:41,456
Narrator: LAST WEEK, PARKER TESTED HIS FIRST PAN.
200
00:16:41,458 --> 00:16:44,158
I BOUGHT THIS ON THE BASIS THAT WE HAD A STRIP COT
201
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,196
READY TO SLUICE, NOT A MINED-OUT COT.
202
00:16:48,198 --> 00:16:49,197
THAT
203
00:16:51,601 --> 00:16:52,866
THERE'S RICK.
204
00:16:56,940 --> 00:16:58,739
OOH, THAT'S SOME DEEP MUD.
205
00:16:58,741 --> 00:17:00,474
THERE MIGHT STILL BE SOME GOLD IN HERE.
206
00:17:00,476 --> 00:17:03,811
YOU KNOW, IT MIGHT NOT ALL HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF HERE.
207
00:17:03,813 --> 00:17:07,448
Narrator: RICK PROMISED PARKER HE'D MINE 2,500 OUNCES
208
00:17:07,450 --> 00:17:09,617
WITH BIG RED THIS SEASON.
209
00:17:09,619 --> 00:17:12,053
BUT HE'S STILL 100 OUNCES SHORT.
210
00:17:14,891 --> 00:17:16,090
IT'S PROBABLY WISHFUL THINKING, YOU KNOW.
211
00:17:16,092 --> 00:17:18,225
WE DO NEED 100 OUNCES.
212
00:17:18,227 --> 00:17:20,194
AS OF RIGHT NOW, BIG RED'S SITTING IDLE, YOU KNOW,
213
00:17:20,196 --> 00:17:23,831
AND NEEDING SOME PAY DIRT TO RUN, SO,
214
00:17:23,833 --> 00:17:26,867
UNLIKELY THAT IT'S IN HERE, BUT, HEY, IT'S A SHOT.
215
00:17:26,869 --> 00:17:29,237
Narrator: AS WELL AS HITTING RICK'S TARGET,
216
00:17:29,239 --> 00:17:31,339
FINDING 100 OUNCES WOULD COVER
217
00:17:31,341 --> 00:17:34,208
ALMOST A QUARTER OF PARKER'S INVESTMENT.
218
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,781
Parker: SO IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE WATER DRAINED OUT.
219
00:17:40,783 --> 00:17:41,916
THERE'S A LOT OF GRAVEL SHOWING,
220
00:17:41,918 --> 00:17:43,518
BUT THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF BEDROCK SHOWING,
221
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,386
SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT HERE.
222
00:17:46,388 --> 00:17:47,255
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL HAVE TO GET DOWN THERE
223
00:17:47,257 --> 00:17:48,823
AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
224
00:17:53,496 --> 00:17:54,929
YOU WANT ME TO CUT INTO THE BANK
225
00:17:54,931 --> 00:17:57,131
AND SEE IF WE CAN CATCH A LINE?
226
00:18:01,638 --> 00:18:03,137
Narrator: PARKER WAITS
227
00:18:03,139 --> 00:18:06,908
WHILE RICK DIGS DOWN TO THE DEEPEST LAYER OF THE CUT.
228
00:18:06,910 --> 00:18:12,179
IT'S HIS LAST CHANCE TO FIND PAY DIRT WORTH SLUICING.
229
00:18:12,181 --> 00:18:15,549
MUD.
230
00:18:15,551 --> 00:18:16,918
THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANYTHING IN THIS PAN.
231
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,520
IT WAS JUST A BUNCH OF MUD.
232
00:18:24,828 --> 00:18:26,627
WELL, WELL, I WAS WRONG.
233
00:18:30,366 --> 00:18:34,068
NOT TOO BAD FOR A MUD SPOT.
234
00:18:35,472 --> 00:18:37,505
QUITE A BIT OF GOLD IN THAT.
235
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:41,476
THERE'S TWO RIGHT THERE. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
236
00:18:41,478 --> 00:18:45,813
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
237
00:18:45,815 --> 00:18:47,347
IT'S PROMISING. IT'S A HELL OF A LOT BETTER
238
00:18:47,349 --> 00:18:48,882
THAN THE FIRST PAN.
239
00:18:48,884 --> 00:18:50,351
BUT,
240
00:18:50,353 --> 00:18:53,253
100 OUNCES IS TOUGH TO FIND.
241
00:18:53,255 --> 00:18:54,722
THAT'S A LOT OF GOLD TO FIND.
242
00:18:54,724 --> 00:18:56,057
IF THERE'S GOLD IN HERE, WE SHOULD GET IT, MAN.
243
00:18:56,059 --> 00:18:59,961
I THINK MAYBE MOVE BIG RED DOWN HERE.
244
00:18:59,963 --> 00:19:01,596
ALL RIGHT. I'M GAME WITH THAT.
245
00:19:04,767 --> 00:19:08,369
IT'S OUR FIRST GOLD THAT WE DON'T OWE ROYALTIES ON, RICK.
246
00:19:08,371 --> 00:19:10,638
YEAH, I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE A PILE OF SLOP
247
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,239
RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY GOLD IN IT.
248
00:19:12,241 --> 00:19:14,408
WE PANNED IT AND PROVED IT, SO.
249
00:19:14,410 --> 00:19:16,277
IT AIN'T PRETTY, BUT IF THERE'S 100 OUNCES IN HERE,
250
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,079
WE'RE GONNA GET IT. WE'RE GONNA PUT IT THROUGH BIG RED
251
00:19:18,081 --> 00:19:20,314
AND WE'RE GONNA GET TO 2,500 OUNCES.
252
00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:24,018
LET'S GO FIND SOME GOLD!
253
00:19:47,309 --> 00:19:51,179
Narrator: AT THISTLE CREEK, WINTER IS CLOSING IN.
254
00:19:51,181 --> 00:19:53,848
TONY BEETS IS REMOVING THE LOWER SECTION
255
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:56,184
OF THE BUCKET LADDER ON HIS SECOND DREDGE.
256
00:20:02,625 --> 00:20:04,291
RIGHT NOW, I'M WAITING FOR THEM TO
257
00:20:04,293 --> 00:20:06,427
KNOCK OUT THE FINAL BIT OF BOLTS
258
00:20:06,429 --> 00:20:10,565
SO ME AND SHEAMUS CAN TAKE OFF THE FRONT OF THIS BUCKET LADDER.
259
00:20:14,203 --> 00:20:15,403
YEAH, YEAH.
260
00:20:21,311 --> 00:20:24,779
Narrator: MIKE AND SHEAMUS WILL USE THE TWO CRANES
261
00:20:24,781 --> 00:20:27,248
TO WRENCH THE LOWER SECTION FREE.
262
00:20:38,327 --> 00:20:41,129
Narrator: ALL THE BOLTS ARE OUT.
263
00:20:59,115 --> 00:21:01,014
THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE TWO PIECES
264
00:21:01,016 --> 00:21:06,420
OF THE BUCKET LADDER TOGETHER IS HALF A CENTURY OF RUST.
265
00:22:26,936 --> 00:22:29,704
THAT WENT REALLY SMOOTH.
266
00:22:41,884 --> 00:22:44,218
-SO YOUR PAD'S GONNA BE HERE? -YEP.
267
00:22:44,220 --> 00:22:45,419
AND WE'LL JUST SLUICE OUT THAT WAY?
268
00:22:45,421 --> 00:22:46,687
YEAH, WE'LL SLUICE OUT THAT WAY.
269
00:22:46,689 --> 00:22:49,923
Narrator: PARKER SCHNABEL IS ABOUT TO SLUICE,
270
00:22:49,925 --> 00:22:51,124
ROYALTY-FREE,
271
00:22:51,126 --> 00:22:55,796
THE FIRST KLONDIKE GROUND HE'S EVER OWNED:
272
00:22:55,798 --> 00:22:59,066
THE MUDHOLE CUT.
273
00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:02,536
HE'LL USE HIS OLD WASH PLANT, BIG RED.
274
00:23:02,538 --> 00:23:07,174
BUT, FIRST, HE NEEDS WATER.
275
00:23:07,176 --> 00:23:10,378
AND THE CLOSEST WATER IS A POND THAT TONY HAS MADE
276
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:13,247
RIGHT DOWN HERE AND MINED OUT.
277
00:23:13,249 --> 00:23:17,985
800 FEET FROM PARKER'S CLAIM IS AN OLD POND,
278
00:23:17,987 --> 00:23:20,755
BUT, IT'S ON TONY'S GROUND.
279
00:23:20,757 --> 00:23:23,958
DOES TONY KNOW WE'RE PULLING WATER FROM HERE?
280
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,259
MAYBE.
281
00:23:27,497 --> 00:23:29,897
WE'LL JUST PUMP WATER FROM TONY'S POND
282
00:23:29,899 --> 00:23:32,766
INTO A POND THAT'S UP ON THE GROUND WE BOUGHT
283
00:23:32,768 --> 00:23:35,403
AND THEN JUST USE ANOTHER PUMP OUT OF THE POND
284
00:23:35,405 --> 00:23:38,639
AND FEED THE PLANT.
285
00:23:38,641 --> 00:23:39,674
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, MAN.
286
00:23:39,676 --> 00:23:41,475
-YEAH, IT'S CLEAN WATER. -YEAH.
287
00:23:41,477 --> 00:23:44,879
Narrator: PARKER WILL PUMP WATER FROM TONY'S POND,
288
00:23:44,881 --> 00:23:51,085
800 FEET TO AN OLD DRY POND ON HIS CLAIM.
289
00:23:51,087 --> 00:23:53,955
WHILE IT FILLS, HE'LL BRING IN BIG RED.
290
00:23:55,758 --> 00:23:58,225
HE'LL THEN HAVE ALL THE WATER HE NEEDS
291
00:23:58,227 --> 00:24:01,428
TO RUN HIS OWN PAY DIRT THROUGH THE WASH PLANT.
292
00:24:05,301 --> 00:24:07,467
I'M SURE TONY WILL MANAGE TO FIND SOME PROBLEM
293
00:24:07,469 --> 00:24:11,605
WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT, IF HE TRIES TO SCREW US UP,
294
00:24:11,607 --> 00:24:16,376
THEN, THAT'S NOT REALLY LEGAL.
295
00:24:16,378 --> 00:24:19,046
WE'RE JUST GONNA PLOP OUR PUMP RIGHT IN NEXT TO HIS
296
00:24:19,048 --> 00:24:21,449
AND, YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON,
297
00:24:21,451 --> 00:24:23,818
I'M SURE HE'S NOT USING IT AND, EVEN IF HE IS,
298
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:27,088
THERE'S ROOM FOR THE BOTH OF US.
299
00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:29,256
IT'D BE A LOT EASIER IF WE HAD PONDS ON OUR OWN GROUND,
300
00:24:29,258 --> 00:24:31,058
BUT, BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS.
301
00:24:33,662 --> 00:24:35,329
NOW, FOR A PIPELINE.
302
00:24:38,034 --> 00:24:39,833
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET MYSELF A CLEAR PATH
303
00:24:39,835 --> 00:24:42,302
TO GET THIS WATER LINE HOOKED UP, SO,
304
00:24:42,304 --> 00:24:44,404
GET RID OF SOME OF THESE TREES.
305
00:24:44,406 --> 00:24:46,740
HOPEFULLY, TONY DOESN'T MIND.
306
00:24:52,381 --> 00:24:53,713
AHH.
307
00:24:57,086 --> 00:24:58,819
HUH!
308
00:25:01,157 --> 00:25:03,924
I ALMOST WENT FOR A SWIM.
309
00:25:03,926 --> 00:25:05,259
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE, THIS TIME OF YEAR.
310
00:25:06,796 --> 00:25:09,096
A WHOLE LOT OF TENSION ON THAT PIPE
311
00:25:09,098 --> 00:25:11,165
ALMOST KNOCKED PARKER IN THE DRINK.
312
00:25:11,167 --> 00:25:12,533
CAN'T SAY IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ME LAUGH.
313
00:25:14,270 --> 00:25:16,036
OHH, TRYING TO HOOK UP
314
00:25:16,038 --> 00:25:18,338
A PIPE THIS LONG IS A LOT OF FUN.
315
00:25:23,246 --> 00:25:25,779
OHH.
316
00:25:31,354 --> 00:25:32,853
IT WANTS TO GO.
317
00:25:35,625 --> 00:25:36,790
ALL RIGHT.
318
00:25:51,140 --> 00:25:53,206
CAN YOU GO DOWN?
319
00:25:53,208 --> 00:25:54,908
GOT HER? COME ON. YOU GOT HER?
320
00:25:59,015 --> 00:26:00,447
GOT IT!
321
00:26:00,449 --> 00:26:02,415
YEAH.
322
00:26:02,417 --> 00:26:03,484
DONE.
323
00:26:03,486 --> 00:26:05,486
HOLY COW.
324
00:26:05,488 --> 00:26:06,754
YOU GOT HER!
325
00:26:06,756 --> 00:26:07,921
THAT WAS FUN.
326
00:26:07,923 --> 00:26:08,856
LOOKS LIKE IT TOOK IT OUT OF YA.
327
00:26:08,858 --> 00:26:10,224
AT LEAST I DIDN'T GO IN THE POND.
328
00:26:10,226 --> 00:26:12,827
THAT WAS CLOSE.
329
00:26:12,829 --> 00:26:13,994
WELL, I'LL GO TO THE OTHER END, MAKE SURE IT'S
330
00:26:13,996 --> 00:26:16,764
IN PLACE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL.
331
00:26:16,766 --> 00:26:17,831
ALL RIGHT. YEAH. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN
332
00:26:17,833 --> 00:26:19,500
YOU'RE READY FOR IT. -YEP.
333
00:26:19,502 --> 00:26:22,770
YEAH, FIRE IT UP, PARKER. TURN THE PUMP ON.
334
00:26:22,772 --> 00:26:24,738
WELL, HERE GOES NOTHIN'.
335
00:26:30,445 --> 00:26:33,514
OH, I'M HEARING SOME PROGRESS.
336
00:26:33,516 --> 00:26:35,783
OH, YEAH. YEAH!
337
00:26:39,622 --> 00:26:41,454
YOU GOT WATER UP THERE?!
338
00:26:41,456 --> 00:26:44,357
YEAH, MAN, IT'S LOOKING GOOD.
339
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,525
EVERYTHING'S WORKING GOOD.
340
00:26:45,527 --> 00:26:48,428
WE GOT WATER GOING UP TO OUR GROUND.
341
00:26:48,430 --> 00:26:50,497
ONCE THE PONDS ARE FULL, WE'LL START MOVING
342
00:26:50,499 --> 00:26:53,033
THE WASH PLANT AND START SLUICING.
343
00:27:17,092 --> 00:27:21,962
I DON'T LIKE BEING OUT HERE FOR 7 MONTHS AND GETTING SCRAPS.
344
00:27:21,964 --> 00:27:25,332
Narrator: IN ALMA, COLORADO, HUNTER AND TODD HOFFMAN
345
00:27:25,334 --> 00:27:28,869
ARE SEARCHING FOR NEW GROUND.
346
00:27:28,871 --> 00:27:30,938
WE WENT FOR 5,000 OUNCES LAST YEAR.
347
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:32,773
WE WENT FOR IT AGAIN THIS YEAR, OKAY?
348
00:27:32,775 --> 00:27:34,775
AND WE FELL SHORT BOTH YEARS.
349
00:27:34,777 --> 00:27:36,744
I STILL WANNA GET 5,000 OUNCES,
350
00:27:36,746 --> 00:27:40,080
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT AT FAIRPLAY.
351
00:27:40,082 --> 00:27:42,616
Narrator: SIX MILES NORTH OF FAIRPLAY,
352
00:27:42,618 --> 00:27:46,854
THE ALMA IS THE LARGEST PLACER MINE IN THE STATE.
353
00:27:46,856 --> 00:27:50,824
HUNTER, YOU GOTTA LEAD THIS CONVERSATION.
354
00:27:50,826 --> 00:27:52,225
-HEY. -HEY.
355
00:27:52,227 --> 00:27:53,493
CAN I HELP YOU GUYS?
356
00:27:53,495 --> 00:27:55,429
YEAH.
357
00:27:55,431 --> 00:27:56,797
I'M HUNTER. NICE TO MEET YOU.
358
00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:58,131
HUNTER, I'M JIM MURRAY.
359
00:27:58,133 --> 00:27:59,266
HEY, JIM. I'M TODD.
360
00:27:59,268 --> 00:28:00,667
TODD? PLEASED TO MEET YA.
361
00:28:00,669 --> 00:28:02,603
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN US DOWN THE ROAD THERE
362
00:28:02,605 --> 00:28:03,737
AT FAIRPLAY. -OH, YEAH.
363
00:28:03,739 --> 00:28:04,905
YEP, FOR SURE.
364
00:28:04,907 --> 00:28:06,774
IT LOOKS LIKE A NIGHTMARE DOWN THERE
365
00:28:06,776 --> 00:28:08,408
WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
366
00:28:10,179 --> 00:28:13,514
SO, YOU'RE WANTING TO TALK TO US ABOUT GROUND?
367
00:28:13,516 --> 00:28:15,616
I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU HAD A PIECE TO LEASE.
368
00:28:15,618 --> 00:28:17,651
WE MIGHT.
369
00:28:17,653 --> 00:28:21,288
YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS WILLING TO TALK, BUT,
370
00:28:21,290 --> 00:28:24,358
YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW?
371
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:25,893
WE DON'T NEED ANY PROBLEMS.
372
00:28:25,895 --> 00:28:27,961
WE'RE A SERIOUS MINING OPERATION,
373
00:28:27,963 --> 00:28:30,030
SO WE'RE ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY
374
00:28:30,032 --> 00:28:33,067
AND, IF YOU DON'T RUN EVERY HOUR YOU CAN RUN,
375
00:28:33,069 --> 00:28:34,535
YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY
376
00:28:34,537 --> 00:28:36,169
AND WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE ANY MONEY.
377
00:28:36,171 --> 00:28:38,839
WE RUN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THAT'S OUR GOAL.
378
00:28:38,841 --> 00:28:41,908
WE RUN, YOU KNOW, OVER 20,000 YARDS A WEEK,
379
00:28:41,910 --> 00:28:46,113
SO, WE TRY TO GET 10 HOURS A DAY, 6 DAYS A WEEK.
380
00:28:46,115 --> 00:28:49,583
OKAY. WELL, I MIGHT BE WILLING TO TALK.
381
00:28:49,585 --> 00:28:51,385
WE CATCH A LOT OF FINE GOLD,
382
00:28:51,387 --> 00:28:53,920
BUT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF COARSE GOLD UP HERE, TOO,
383
00:28:53,922 --> 00:28:55,255
AND IF YOU'RE SET UP TO CATCH IT,
384
00:28:55,257 --> 00:28:57,090
I THINK YOU'LL BE SURPRISED,
385
00:28:57,092 --> 00:28:59,593
BUT THAT'S WHAT WE GET FOR COURSE GOLD.
386
00:28:59,595 --> 00:29:00,761
WOW.
387
00:29:00,763 --> 00:29:01,895
PLEASE DON'T DROP IT ON THE GROUND.
388
00:29:01,897 --> 00:29:04,098
WE'LL BE OUT HERE A WHILE, PICKING IT UP.
389
00:29:04,100 --> 00:29:07,534
YOU'RE HOLDING ABOUT $3,000 THERE.
390
00:29:07,536 --> 00:29:09,870
WE'VE NEVER MINED A YARD OF DIRT
391
00:29:09,872 --> 00:29:11,572
THAT DIDN'T HAVE GOLD IN IT.
392
00:29:11,574 --> 00:29:14,174
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF HOW MUCH IS IN IT.
393
00:29:14,176 --> 00:29:16,043
YOU KNOW, THAT GOLD DOES LOOK REALLY NICE.
394
00:29:16,045 --> 00:29:17,844
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE PROPERTY
395
00:29:17,846 --> 00:29:22,983
AND MAYBE BRING IN A TEST PLANT AND TEST IT FOR MYSELF.
396
00:29:22,985 --> 00:29:26,119
WELL, WE COULD PROBABLY ARRANGE THAT.
397
00:29:26,121 --> 00:29:28,588
Narrator: THE GROUND JIM'S OFFERING FOR LEASE
398
00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:31,725
IS A MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
399
00:29:31,727 --> 00:29:34,495
HUNTER.
400
00:29:40,402 --> 00:29:45,773
WE'RE GONNA GO UP AND, UH, GET HUNTER'S SAMPLE.
401
00:29:47,376 --> 00:29:49,509
WE JUST WANNA GET A GOOD SNAPSHOT,
402
00:29:49,511 --> 00:29:50,644
SEE WHAT'S REALLY HERE.
403
00:29:54,483 --> 00:29:55,816
Narrator: TO TEST THE GROUND,
404
00:29:55,818 --> 00:29:59,186
HUNTER AND TODD GATHER TWO SAMPLES OF PAY DIRT...
405
00:29:59,188 --> 00:30:01,054
JUST GET ME A BUCKET RIGHT OUT OF THE SIDE
406
00:30:01,056 --> 00:30:02,455
OF THAT BANK. OKAY.
407
00:30:02,457 --> 00:30:08,562
...FROM AREAS OF THE CLAIM 500 YARDS APART.
408
00:30:08,564 --> 00:30:10,330
FIRE UP THE GENERATOR, HUNTER.
409
00:30:13,469 --> 00:30:16,270
THEY THEN RUN EACH SAMPLE SEPARATELY.
410
00:30:18,407 --> 00:30:20,374
IT'S AN AWESOME LITTLE TEST TROMMEL.
411
00:30:20,376 --> 00:30:23,777
SEE WHAT WE GOT, HUH?
412
00:30:23,779 --> 00:30:25,712
CAME TO COLORADO FOR FAIRPLAY.
413
00:30:25,714 --> 00:30:27,547
LAST YEAR, IT SAVED US.
414
00:30:27,549 --> 00:30:30,183
THIS YEAR, ABOUT KILLED US.
415
00:30:30,185 --> 00:30:33,820
EVERY TIME WE MOVE A PLANT IS RISKY, BUT,
416
00:30:33,822 --> 00:30:37,224
"NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED."
417
00:30:37,226 --> 00:30:39,359
OKAY. THAT'S IT.
418
00:30:39,361 --> 00:30:42,696
THESE KIND OF DECISIONS, YOU'RE EITHER A HERO OR YOU'RE A GOAT.
419
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,734
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE CLEANUP ROOM.
420
00:30:47,736 --> 00:30:50,136
SO, WE WENT OVER TO THE ALMA.
421
00:30:50,138 --> 00:30:52,840
I PULLED A SAMPLE FROM THE UPPER BENCH.
422
00:30:52,842 --> 00:30:55,175
HE PICKED A SPOT DOWN ON THE LOWER BENCH THERE
423
00:30:55,177 --> 00:30:57,378
AND SO WE BOTH RAN A YARD THROUGH A TEST PLANT
424
00:30:57,380 --> 00:30:59,680
AND THIS IS WHAT WE GOT.
425
00:30:59,682 --> 00:31:01,815
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT ON HUNTER'S.
426
00:31:01,817 --> 00:31:03,917
I'M HOPING TO SEE 20 COLORS
427
00:31:03,919 --> 00:31:05,852
AND A FULL PAN WOULD BE NICE.
428
00:31:05,854 --> 00:31:07,053
OKAY.
429
00:31:07,055 --> 00:31:08,522
OOH,
430
00:31:08,524 --> 00:31:09,990
WHOA, NO WAY.
431
00:31:09,992 --> 00:31:12,092
YEAH. DUDE, THAT'S JUST CRAZY.
432
00:31:12,094 --> 00:31:14,294
THAT'S TWO LITTLE SCOOTS.
433
00:31:14,296 --> 00:31:16,129
THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
434
00:31:16,131 --> 00:31:18,065
THURB, YOU WANNA TRY THIS ONE,
435
00:31:18,067 --> 00:31:19,333
SEE WHAT WE LOOK LIKE?
436
00:31:22,004 --> 00:31:25,439
HOPEFULLY, THE LOWER BENCH IS BETTER.
437
00:31:25,441 --> 00:31:26,873
DUDE, LOOK AT THAT.
438
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:30,009
-WHOA! THERE'S YOUR BETTER LAND -WOW.
439
00:31:30,011 --> 00:31:30,677
-WOW! -RIGHT THERE.
440
00:31:30,679 --> 00:31:32,012
THAT CAN'T BE.
441
00:31:32,014 --> 00:31:33,213
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
442
00:31:33,215 --> 00:31:34,981
THAT'S A GOOD-LOOKING PAN.
443
00:31:34,983 --> 00:31:36,917
I SEE THE ALMA AS A PLACE FOR US
444
00:31:36,919 --> 00:31:41,254
WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TO GET 5,000.
445
00:31:41,256 --> 00:31:44,024
I WANNA DO A DEAL ON THAT PROPERTY.
446
00:31:44,026 --> 00:31:45,392
DAD?
447
00:31:45,394 --> 00:31:47,227
I'M THERE.
448
00:31:47,229 --> 00:31:48,562
I'M READY.
449
00:31:48,564 --> 00:31:51,398
I THINK IT'S A GOOD DEAL.
450
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,967
ALL RIGHT, HUNTER, SEE IF WE CAN PULL IT OFF.
451
00:32:03,312 --> 00:32:07,080
THEY'VE GOT SLUICIFER JUST REALLY DIALED IN.
452
00:32:07,082 --> 00:32:09,015
IT'S BEEN RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP
453
00:32:09,017 --> 00:32:13,987
AND WE HAVE JUST BEEN CHEWING THROUGH THE PAY DIRT.
454
00:32:13,989 --> 00:32:16,857
Narrator: IN THE LAST CUT, THE SCHNABEL CREW WAS RUNNING
455
00:32:16,859 --> 00:32:22,262
280 YARDS OF PAY DIRT AN HOUR THROUGH SLUICIFER.
456
00:32:22,264 --> 00:32:25,532
FOUR MILES WEST, PARKER IS SETTING UP TO MINE
457
00:32:25,534 --> 00:32:28,935
THE FIRST KLONDIKE PAY DIRT HE'S EVER OWNED.
458
00:32:31,407 --> 00:32:33,340
RICK'S DOING A REAL GOOD JOB WITH THIS CUT
459
00:32:33,342 --> 00:32:34,908
IN THIS GROUND THAT WE BOUGHT.
460
00:32:34,910 --> 00:32:37,711
HE'S BUILDING A PAD RIGHT NOW FOR BIG RED TO COME DOWN HERE
461
00:32:37,713 --> 00:32:42,248
AND REALLY, HOPEFULLY, THIS CUT HAS THAT 102 OUNCES IN IT.
462
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,584
FAR AS FOR, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH SCREWING AROUND
463
00:32:44,586 --> 00:32:46,319
WE HAVE TO DO JUST TO SLUICE HERE,
464
00:32:46,321 --> 00:32:47,654
IT'S ACTUALLY GOING PRETTY WELL.
465
00:32:47,656 --> 00:32:50,424
I'M GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING DONE WITH THIS PAD,
466
00:32:50,426 --> 00:32:52,292
AND WE GOT A POND FILLING UP
467
00:32:52,294 --> 00:32:55,162
AND IT'S LOOKING LIKE IT SHOULD ALL WORK OUT, MAN.
468
00:32:59,034 --> 00:33:01,034
IS GOING ON HERE?
469
00:33:01,036 --> 00:33:04,338
WE DON'T HAVE ANY WATER FLOW COMING IN NOW,
470
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:07,741
SO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON.
471
00:33:07,743 --> 00:33:08,842
PARKER, HEY, MAN.
472
00:33:13,015 --> 00:33:14,515
NO.
473
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,186
OHH.
474
00:33:20,188 --> 00:33:23,223
WHAT THE ?
475
00:33:23,225 --> 00:33:24,624
ALL RIGHT. I'M ON MY WAY OVER.
476
00:33:24,626 --> 00:33:27,961
I MEAN, I REALLY HOPE IT'S NOT TONY SCREWING WITH US.
477
00:33:27,963 --> 00:33:29,963
YEAH.
478
00:33:29,965 --> 00:33:34,001
Narrator: RICK AND PARKER HEAD TO TONY'S POND TO INVESTIGATE.
479
00:33:34,003 --> 00:33:37,103
-IT'S STILL RUNNING. -Ness: YEAH.
480
00:33:37,105 --> 00:33:38,505
WELL, OUR CLEAN WATER
481
00:33:38,507 --> 00:33:41,008
AIN'T SO CLEAN ANYMORE, IS IT?
482
00:33:41,010 --> 00:33:43,309
THIS WHOLE POND IS COMPROMISED NOW.
483
00:33:52,421 --> 00:33:54,321
Parker: OHH, WHAT THE ?
484
00:34:01,096 --> 00:34:02,562
WHAT A JOKE, MAN.
485
00:34:06,001 --> 00:34:09,336
WHERE THE DID THAT COME FROM?
486
00:34:09,338 --> 00:34:11,071
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM WAY DOWN THERE.
487
00:34:12,507 --> 00:34:16,209
TONY'S STRIPPING INTO OUR POND.
488
00:34:16,211 --> 00:34:18,578
HOLY
489
00:34:18,580 --> 00:34:20,547
WITH THE STRIPPING LIKE THAT, ALL THIS BRUSH
490
00:34:20,549 --> 00:34:22,816
AND ANYTHING THAT FLOATS IS GONNA NATURALLY COME
491
00:34:22,818 --> 00:34:24,784
TO WHERE THE WATER'S GETTING PULLED OUT, RIGHT?
492
00:34:24,786 --> 00:34:28,254
YEP.
493
00:34:28,256 --> 00:34:29,923
WELL, WHAT THE DO WE DO NOW?
494
00:34:29,925 --> 00:34:31,625
I MEAN, THE PROBLEM IS THE RIVER'S STILL
495
00:34:31,627 --> 00:34:34,627
ANOTHER 1,500 FEET AWAY AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH PIPE OR...
496
00:34:34,629 --> 00:34:36,029
NO.
497
00:34:36,031 --> 00:34:38,264
...A PUMP THAT CAN PUMP THAT FAR OR ANYTHING.
498
00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:40,767
NO.
499
00:34:40,769 --> 00:34:42,969
OF COURSE, THIS POND HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT CLEAN
500
00:34:42,971 --> 00:34:44,838
ALL SUMMER LONG AND, THE DAY WE PUT A PUMP IN
501
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,107
IS THE DAY THEY START STRIPPING HERE.
502
00:34:50,846 --> 00:34:53,213
I'LL GO TALK TO OUR KLONDIKE HERE
503
00:34:53,215 --> 00:34:55,082
AND SEE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF.
504
00:34:57,152 --> 00:34:58,185
Narrator: UP AHEAD...
505
00:34:58,187 --> 00:34:59,353
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME?
506
00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:31,384
Narrator: IN COLORADO,
507
00:35:31,386 --> 00:35:35,122
KEVIN HIATT IS THE DESIGNATED FIRST RESPONDER.
508
00:35:38,293 --> 00:35:39,426
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
509
00:35:45,334 --> 00:35:47,233
I'M COMING DOWN.
510
00:35:47,235 --> 00:35:49,236
STERLING!
511
00:35:49,238 --> 00:35:52,605
WHICH ONE YOU IN?!
512
00:35:52,607 --> 00:35:56,676
THIS HAS A LOCK ON IT BECAUSE THIS IS THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM.
513
00:35:56,678 --> 00:35:57,810
LADIES.
514
00:35:59,314 --> 00:36:00,914
HELLO.
515
00:36:00,916 --> 00:36:01,781
GOTTA MAKE SURE.
516
00:36:01,783 --> 00:36:03,116
OH, MY GOSH.
517
00:36:03,118 --> 00:36:05,419
YOU HAVE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
518
00:36:05,421 --> 00:36:08,087
THIS IS WHAT YOU GIRLS LOOK AT WHEN YOU GO POTTY?
519
00:36:09,291 --> 00:36:11,758
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS. WE GOT BRAD PITT.
520
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,129
WE GOT THAT GUY FROM, UH, THAT DINOSAUR MOVIE.
521
00:36:16,131 --> 00:36:18,898
ANYWAYS. WOW.
522
00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:20,834
ALL RIGHT, BUDDY.
523
00:36:20,836 --> 00:36:23,103
HERE YOU GO. LET ME KNOW IF THAT'S ENOUGH.
524
00:36:42,290 --> 00:36:43,422
Narrator: IN THE KLONDIKE,
525
00:36:43,424 --> 00:36:46,560
PARKER SCHNABEL IS HEADED FOR A SHOWDOWN
526
00:36:46,562 --> 00:36:48,094
WITH HIS NEW NEIGHBOR:
527
00:36:48,096 --> 00:36:49,962
TONY BEETS.
528
00:36:49,964 --> 00:36:52,899
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE TONY JUST STARTED STRIPPING IN THAT POND
529
00:36:52,901 --> 00:36:54,267
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PULL WATER OUT OF
530
00:36:54,269 --> 00:36:57,270
TO FILL OUR PONDS UP ON THE GROUND WE BOUGHT,
531
00:36:57,272 --> 00:36:59,372
SO THAT WE CAN SLUICE OUT THAT MUDHOLE.
532
00:36:59,374 --> 00:37:02,242
ANYWAYS, WE'LL PULL IN HERE AND SEE WHAT OLD MR. BEETS
533
00:37:02,244 --> 00:37:04,945
HAS TO SAY FOR HIMSELF.
534
00:37:04,947 --> 00:37:08,481
I'M SURE THAT HE'S JUST GONNA SAY, "WELL, SUCKS TO BE YOU."
535
00:37:18,894 --> 00:37:21,762
UH, NOT REAL GREAT.
536
00:37:27,535 --> 00:37:29,870
LIKE WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME?
537
00:37:32,241 --> 00:37:33,974
LIKE EVERYTHING WE DO,
538
00:37:33,976 --> 00:37:36,676
YOU JUST TRY TO MAKE LIFE AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE.
539
00:37:39,214 --> 00:37:40,814
WE'VE GOT A -- I'M SURE YOU KNOW.
540
00:37:40,816 --> 00:37:42,348
WE'VE GOT A PUMP PUT IN
541
00:37:42,350 --> 00:37:43,616
RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR OWN PUMP...
542
00:37:43,618 --> 00:37:44,684
YEAH.
543
00:37:44,686 --> 00:37:46,286
...TRYING TO FILL OUR PONDS UP THERE.
544
00:37:46,288 --> 00:37:48,688
-MM-HMM. AND? -AND, YOU KNOW,
545
00:37:48,690 --> 00:37:50,123
THE DAY WE PUT THE PUMP IN,
546
00:37:50,125 --> 00:37:51,724
YOU START STRIPPING INTO THAT POND
547
00:37:51,726 --> 00:37:53,727
AND THERE'S EVERYWHERE.
548
00:37:53,729 --> 00:37:55,495
IT'S NOT WATER ANYMORE.
549
00:38:01,937 --> 00:38:04,204
THEY'VE BEEN CLEAN WATER ALL YEAR, UNTIL TODAY!
550
00:38:08,043 --> 00:38:09,743
SO IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE?
551
00:38:20,789 --> 00:38:25,091
WELL, YOU CAN'T REALLY JUST DENY US WATER, LIKE.
552
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,167
WE CAN'T GO TO THE RIVER. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PIPE.
553
00:38:34,169 --> 00:38:35,502
-THAT'S ANOTHER 1,500 FEET.
554
00:38:37,405 --> 00:38:39,038
I'M NOT SAYING IT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
555
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,506
BUT, YOU'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB
556
00:38:40,508 --> 00:38:41,908
OF US OVER, IS WHAT I'M SAYING.
557
00:38:46,214 --> 00:38:48,314
WELL, EVEN WHEN THE SUN'S SHINING,
558
00:38:48,316 --> 00:38:49,549
WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE'S A BIG OLD
559
00:38:49,551 --> 00:38:51,484
BLACK CLOUD, TONY.
560
00:38:54,656 --> 00:38:57,190
YEAH.
561
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,600
I THINK WE'RE PRETTY WELL
562
00:39:07,602 --> 00:39:09,202
I DON'T THINK WE'RE SLUICING DOWN THERE.
563
00:39:17,178 --> 00:39:21,147
FOR THE TIME BEING, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT WE CAN DO.
564
00:39:21,149 --> 00:39:22,415
LET'S JUST SAY HE'S WON THE BATTLE,
565
00:39:22,417 --> 00:39:24,951
BUT HE WON'T WIN THE WAR.
566
00:39:24,953 --> 00:39:27,586
TONY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THORN IN THE SIDE,
567
00:39:27,588 --> 00:39:30,456
BUT NOW IT'S A THORN IN THE POCKETBOOK, SO,
568
00:39:30,458 --> 00:39:33,293
-YEAH. -RETRIBUTION IS IN ORDER.
569
00:39:33,295 --> 00:39:36,363
BUT THIS ONE, I WON'T FORGET.
570
00:39:36,365 --> 00:39:37,964
Narrator: THE ONLY GOOD NEWS
571
00:39:37,966 --> 00:39:42,535
IS THAT SLUICIFER HAS RUN TROUBLE-FREE ALL WEEK.
572
00:39:42,537 --> 00:39:46,706
SLUICIFER, PLUGGING RIGHT ALONG, AND WE DID A CLEANUP ON IT
573
00:39:46,708 --> 00:39:50,243
AND WE'RE READY TO WEIGH UP SOME GOLD.
574
00:39:50,245 --> 00:39:51,244
SHOULD WE POUR SOME GOLD?
575
00:39:51,246 --> 00:39:52,746
YEAH-EAH.
576
00:39:52,748 --> 00:39:56,249
Narrator: HAVING SAILED PAST 5,000 OUNCES,
577
00:39:56,251 --> 00:39:59,786
PARKER RESET HIS GOAL TO 6,000 OUNCES,
578
00:39:59,788 --> 00:40:02,588
WORTH $7.2 MILLION.
579
00:40:02,590 --> 00:40:03,756
BRING IT OUT, ASHLEY.
580
00:40:03,758 --> 00:40:05,692
ALL RIGHT.
581
00:40:05,694 --> 00:40:10,129
SO WE NEED 389 OUNCES, PARKER, AND THAT'LL PUT US AT 6,000.
582
00:40:10,131 --> 00:40:12,232
389? MM.
583
00:40:12,234 --> 00:40:16,068
10, 20, 40, 60,
584
00:40:16,070 --> 00:40:19,138
80, 100,
585
00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:22,508
120, 140,
586
00:40:22,510 --> 00:40:25,578
180.45.
587
00:40:25,580 --> 00:40:28,081
-NOT QUITE. -NOT QUITE.
588
00:40:28,083 --> 00:40:32,585
Narrator: WORTH $217,000.
589
00:40:32,587 --> 00:40:36,289
SO THAT GIVES A GRAND TOTAL OF 5,791.
590
00:40:36,291 --> 00:40:40,460
WE'RE 208 OUNCES SHORT OF 6,000.
591
00:40:40,462 --> 00:40:42,495
WE'RE NOT THERE YET, BUT, ENCOURAGING.
592
00:40:42,497 --> 00:40:45,031
WE AIN'T GIVING UP YET. WE'RE IN THIS FAR.
593
00:40:45,033 --> 00:40:47,567
WE'VE GOTTA SEE WHAT'S IN THE BOTTOM OF THAT OLD MUDHOLE, SO,
594
00:40:47,569 --> 00:40:49,202
LET'S GET BIG RED FIRED UP THIS WEEK.
595
00:40:49,204 --> 00:40:53,239
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WE'RE GONNA DO 6,000 OUNCES.
596
00:40:53,241 --> 00:40:55,108
AND YOU'RE GONNA GET 2,500.
597
00:40:55,110 --> 00:40:56,976
- YEAH. -DO THAT.
598
00:40:56,978 --> 00:40:58,844
-WHOO-WHOO! -LET'S GO GET IT!
599
00:41:00,448 --> 00:41:02,916
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS, WE'VE GOT OUR OWN GROUND
600
00:41:02,918 --> 00:41:04,784
AND WE'RE GONNA SLUICE IT
601
00:41:04,786 --> 00:41:08,888
AND I'M NOT GONNA STOP FOR TONY BEETS, SO,
602
00:41:08,890 --> 00:41:12,058
HE WANTS TO COME AFTER ME FOR WHATEVER WE DO,
603
00:41:12,060 --> 00:41:14,060
COME ON.
604
00:41:14,062 --> 00:41:15,662
LET'S DANCE.
605
00:41:17,432 --> 00:41:19,132
RICHIE, SHUT THAT THING OFF.
606
00:41:19,134 --> 00:41:20,400
SHUT IT DOWN!
607
00:41:20,402 --> 00:41:24,737
Narrator: ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "GOLD RUSH"...
608
00:41:24,739 --> 00:41:26,506
I TAKE ALL THE RISK AND YOU GET ALL THE MONEY!
609
00:41:28,443 --> 00:41:30,443
SO WHERE'S THAT LEAVE US FOR THE WHOLE SEASON?
610
00:41:32,947 --> 00:41:35,014
OLD MAN WINTER'S HERE, TODD.
611
00:41:35,016 --> 00:41:37,817
LET'S PUSH HARD, RIGHT HERE TO THE END.
612
00:41:37,819 --> 00:41:40,920
WOW. THAT'S A GOOD POUR, ISN'T IT?
613
00:41:40,922 --> 00:41:42,622
NOW RIP THE BOAT OUT OF THE WATER.
614
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:45,191
HOLY
615
00:41:45,193 --> 00:41:46,826
-PARKER! -HEY, TODD.
616
00:41:46,828 --> 00:41:48,361
WE GOT SOME BUSINESS, HUH?
617
00:41:48,363 --> 00:41:49,028
Narrator: AND...
618
00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:50,496
IT'S PAYDAY
619
00:41:50,498 --> 00:41:55,234
AS TODD AND PARKER SETTLE THEIR 100-OUNCE BET.
620
00:41:55,236 --> 00:41:57,137
THAT'S LIKE $100,000.
621
00:41:57,139 --> 00:41:58,538
DEAL'S A DEAL, I GUESS.
621
00:41:59,305 --> 00:42:59,471
