1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,560
[narrator] On this Gold Rush...
2
00:00:02,570 --> 00:00:04,060
[miner] Let's go.
3
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:05,700
[narrator] The greatest
treasure hunts...
4
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:06,900
[man] Woo-hoo!
5
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,940
Now that's what I call
a big nugget.
6
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,940
- [John] Look at all that good stuff.
- [Payson] Whoa!
7
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:12,940
[narrator] that span the globe.
8
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:15,880
[Todd] I hope you guys like a
little adventure in your life.
9
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,010
[man] Oh, God.
10
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:19,080
[narrator] Looking for
the legendary hot spots...
11
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:20,780
[explosion]
12
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:24,550
[narrator] that hold
fine gold and chunky nuggets.
13
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:27,190
This could be the difference
between me going home broke or not.
14
00:00:27,190 --> 00:00:31,130
[narrator] Hunts that push miners'
skills and instincts to the limit...
15
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:32,360
Oh! [bleep].
16
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:34,430
Gold's right there.
17
00:00:35,830 --> 00:00:36,930
[crashing]
18
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:39,930
[narrator] and take them
to the brink of disaster.
19
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:40,930
[crashing]
20
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:41,870
Holy [bleep].
21
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:43,240
[man] Shut it down!
22
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,970
[narrator] Forcing them
to risk it all...
23
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,880
Don't fall in this water,
you will die.
24
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,880
[narrator] ...for
a life-changing payday.
25
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,910
[both laugh]
26
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,380
[all cheering]
27
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:03,090
[narrator] The hunt
to find gold,
28
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,060
gold fever.
29
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:10,960
It gets into the blood, becoming
an all-consuming passion.
30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,970
2013.
31
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:18,140
Mining legend John Schnabel
32
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:23,010
has been working Big
Nugget Mine for over 25 years,
33
00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:27,280
but there's one spot that's
gnawed at him for decades,
34
00:01:29,020 --> 00:01:33,190
a location where he believes
he'll make his biggest score.
35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,060
[John] Payson and Parker,
36
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:39,060
I want to find out
what there is in Smith Creek,
37
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:44,230
and I am hopeful that you can
find gold at least as big as this.
38
00:01:44,230 --> 00:01:46,470
Nuggets like this
in Smith Creek?
39
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:47,770
[John] That's right.
40
00:01:47,770 --> 00:01:51,070
Before the weather
chases us out.
41
00:01:51,070 --> 00:01:54,480
I want to know what's
down there pretty bad, too.
42
00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:59,080
- I'm in.
- [chuckles]
43
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,880
[narrator] Smith Creek is an ancient
river that once ran down the hill
44
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:05,990
above Big Nugget Mine.
45
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:11,090
But over thousands of years, it
was covered by earth and trees.
46
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:17,530
I think the ground is
300,000 years, laying there,
47
00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:21,200
waiting for us, why, there must
be something hidden underneath it.
48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,670
[narrator] Getting to the bottom
could uncover millions in gold nuggets,
49
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:27,880
but it won't be easy.
50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,810
And what do we have now
that we didn't have then?
51
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:36,080
We have grandpa refusing
to give up. [chuckles softly]
52
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:39,350
[narrator] Now,
encouraged by their grandpa,
53
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,290
Parker and brother Payson,
54
00:02:41,290 --> 00:02:45,530
have just days left in the
season to dig down 80 feet...
55
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:47,060
[Payson] Let's do this.
56
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,100
[narrator] clearing out an area
the size of four football fields.
57
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:52,500
[Parker] Now we're moving
some dirt.
58
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:00,340
[metal clanging]
59
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,480
[Payson] Uh-oh.
60
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:06,810
Holy crap.
61
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,080
Are you [bleep] kidding me?
62
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:13,320
Stuck in a mud hole.
63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
You've gotta be [bleep] me.
64
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:26,800
[narrator] At this rate, it'll take three
weeks to get down to the creek bed,
65
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,040
and winter could freeze
them out at any moment.
66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,010
[Parker] We really need to do
something different.
67
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:34,440
When I was up in the Yukon,
68
00:03:34,580 --> 00:03:37,710
when we really needed to move a
lot of dirt in a short amount of time,
69
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:40,880
we brought in
a water monitor, and...
70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,120
you know,
you spray the stuff down
71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,250
and it makes a slurry
and runs down the hill.
72
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:47,350
Let's hope
it's not a big huge mess.
73
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:53,830
[narrator] The monitor fires
a high-pressure water jet...
74
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:55,430
[Payson] She's flowing.
75
00:03:55,430 --> 00:03:59,600
[narrator] that washes mud and
loose material into the drainage ditch,
76
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,440
and out of the cut.
77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,070
- Looks like this thing's working pretty well, huh?
- [Payson] Yeah, it is.
78
00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:05,570
It's moving dirt.
79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,040
[narrator] But it's also
washing away their access road.
80
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,620
[Parker] This is tight.
81
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,160
[Payson] All right,
here he comes.
82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Look at that [bleep]. It's a
long way down from up here
83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,300
and that's gonna hurt
if he falls down that.
84
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:32,130
[engine spluttering]
85
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:36,970
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa [bleep].
86
00:04:36,970 --> 00:04:38,910
It slipped away
when you rolled over it.
87
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:40,340
[bleep].
88
00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:44,140
[narrator] The road is collapsing
under Parker's rock truck.
89
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:45,450
[Payson] I've got you.
90
00:04:48,020 --> 00:04:49,550
[engine whirring]
91
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:55,090
Pull forward, pull forward.
92
00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:59,930
[Payson] We can't run the
monitor and the rock trucks
93
00:04:59,930 --> 00:05:01,530
at the same time,
it's just not safe.
94
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:03,100
It's flushing our road away,
95
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,130
I mean [bleep], you almost went
off the edge right here, Parker.
96
00:05:05,130 --> 00:05:07,170
I won't say we stop monitoring,
97
00:05:07,170 --> 00:05:09,370
- then we're just back to what we've been doing.
- [Payson] I know.
98
00:05:09,370 --> 00:05:12,070
And that's not going to work, we're
never going to get to the bottom.
99
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:14,140
The only option I see is
100
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:18,350
trying to reduce the area that
we're trying to work on, you know.
101
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:24,620
[narrator] Narrowing the search
means they'll get to the bedrock faster,
102
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:28,760
but if they've picked the
wrong spot, they'll miss the gold.
103
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,090
[Payson] We're going from a
pretty wide area that we started with
104
00:05:32,090 --> 00:05:35,960
to a very narrow,
pinpointing location.
105
00:05:37,130 --> 00:05:38,870
[John] Through the river gravel.
106
00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:40,570
[Payson] You think so?
107
00:05:40,570 --> 00:05:43,600
Yeah, I think it's worth
panning that. [laughs]
108
00:05:43,610 --> 00:05:45,140
[narrator] Rounded stones
could prove
109
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:48,280
the boys have reached
the ancient riverbed.
110
00:05:54,950 --> 00:05:58,790
- Oh look at that, you got some color.
- [Payson laughs]
111
00:05:58,790 --> 00:06:01,820
[John] Just think, as you
get down towards the bedrock,
112
00:06:01,820 --> 00:06:04,060
The gold's going to get bigger
and bigger, bigger.
113
00:06:04,060 --> 00:06:05,760
- [Parker] Yeah.
- [John laughs]
114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,630
- Hurry up.
- [all laugh]
115
00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:11,670
[narrator] Parker and Payson
116
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:14,430
truck the first of
the paydirt to the plant.
117
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,140
The boys are finally in with a
chance of finding Smith Creek gold.
118
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,050
Overnight, the temperature
drops to 20 below.
119
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:33,120
[Payson] This little plant
looks a little froze up.
120
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,090
I didn't know it was going
to get that cold last night.
121
00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:36,360
[Parker] Me neither.
122
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,300
- Oh, that's froze solid.
- [Payson] That's not good.
123
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,600
[narrator] The wash plant
is frozen.
124
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:49,140
Their season is over.
125
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:53,340
John checks their concentrate
for nuggets.
126
00:06:55,140 --> 00:06:57,440
I'm getting down to
where I'm getting nervous.
127
00:06:57,910 --> 00:06:59,180
Oh!
128
00:07:02,450 --> 00:07:04,950
[Parker] Certainly isn't
any nuggets, that's for sure.
129
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:14,830
I think we should take a look at
the jig and see if something is there.
130
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:17,260
[Payson] I'll take a look.
131
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:21,740
[narrator] Their last hope is that
the gold has blown out of the sluices,
132
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:23,140
and into the jig.
133
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,010
[Payson] You see anything
in here?
134
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:26,440
[Parker] I don't see
a whole lot.
135
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,280
[Payson] Looks like
pretty [bleep] up.
136
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,850
Holy crap! [chuckles]
137
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:35,380
Look at that. [bleep]. Whoo!
138
00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:36,520
[Parker] Look at that!
139
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:40,220
Oh my!
140
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,990
Whoo, that is beautiful.
141
00:07:44,260 --> 00:07:45,960
[Payson] Here's another one!
142
00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:50,100
- Isn't that awesome?
- [Parker] That's insane.
143
00:07:52,030 --> 00:07:56,740
- I won't be able to sleep.
- [John and Payson laugh]
144
00:07:56,740 --> 00:07:58,840
[narrator] Parker and Payson's
treasure hunt
145
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,080
has proved Grandpa John right.
146
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,250
This ancient creek bed could
hold millions in gold nuggets.
147
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:13,520
You've proven to me that
there is gold in Smith Creek.
148
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:16,120
Congratulations.
149
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,030
- Thank you.
- Handshakes?
150
00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:20,690
[John and Payson laugh]
151
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,060
- [Payson] I agree.
- Payson.
152
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:27,430
[John] My faith that there
was going to be gold there
153
00:08:27,970 --> 00:08:30,200
has turned out to be true.
154
00:08:31,570 --> 00:08:36,140
- [laughs] - [John] And it's
probably the highlight of my life.
155
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:42,950
[narrator] In the original
gold rush,
156
00:08:42,950 --> 00:08:46,490
miners could pick chunks of
gold right out of the ground.
157
00:08:47,090 --> 00:08:49,760
To find such rich ground today,
158
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360
prospectors must travel
deep into the wilderness,
159
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:04,470
which is where the hunt for
treasure took Todd Hoffman in 2013.
160
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,840
[Todd] We pulled
$1.2 million out of the ground
161
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,280
at ten bucks a yard.
162
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,150
I'm not gonna make these guys
millionaires on ten bucks a yard.
163
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:18,320
I have got to go get us
better ground.
164
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,590
Even if I got to go to the
ends of the Earth, I'll find it.
165
00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:24,320
[engine whirring]
166
00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:30,500
Holy smokes! Look at the drop
on that falls.
167
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:35,000
Here we are in Guyana.
I think this might be it.
168
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,840
[narrator] Guyana,
South America,
169
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,610
produces over $1
billion a year in gold.
170
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:48,110
Gambling over $1 million
for a slice of the action,
171
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,350
Todd flies his crew
5,500 miles to the jungle,
172
00:09:53,890 --> 00:09:56,290
on a high-stakes treasure hunt.
173
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:01,330
[Todd] I think this ground's going to
be the best ground we've ever seen.
174
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:02,960
[engine whirring]
175
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:06,870
I don't care
how tough this road is,
176
00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:08,470
if there's gold
at the end of it,
177
00:10:08,470 --> 00:10:10,040
let's mine it.
178
00:10:12,970 --> 00:10:16,510
[Marshall] Another 200 yards, you
guys, and we'll be on the boundary line.
179
00:10:18,610 --> 00:10:23,850
- What the heck is this?
- [Todd] What the...
180
00:10:23,850 --> 00:10:28,190
[narrator] But the ground they've been
promised has been illegally mined out.
181
00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:30,090
[Todd] Holy crap!
182
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,190
[Dave] Is this
what we came to see?
183
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,100
There was good gold here
and somebody else knew it too.
184
00:10:38,970 --> 00:10:41,500
I don't know what to say, uh...
185
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,110
[Todd] Not much
to say, Marshall.
186
00:10:46,110 --> 00:10:50,040
[narrator] Gold mining in
Guyana can be a lawless business.
187
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,120
Around 15,000 ounces
are mined illegally each week.
188
00:10:59,050 --> 00:11:01,450
Rolling the dice one more time,
189
00:11:02,590 --> 00:11:05,960
Todd heads out to a
neighboring claim on his map,
190
00:11:06,830 --> 00:11:09,300
owned by a different landlord.
191
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,370
[Marshall] Just take it slow and
easy, watch your step for snakes.
192
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:26,010
Okay, guys, this is the boundary
line of the Q.O.D. property.
193
00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:30,050
I think we're into some
territory that might be virgin.
194
00:11:30,050 --> 00:11:32,020
[Fred] Let's set it up, huh?
195
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:33,550
[engine starts]
196
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:36,290
[engine whirring]
197
00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:38,830
I sure hope
there's gold in here.
198
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:40,390
[Todd] Start running material.
199
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,060
[Fred] Okay.
200
00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:42,630
[motor sputtering]
201
00:11:42,630 --> 00:11:46,230
[narrator] This yard of dirt will
tell the Hoffman crew if this claim,
202
00:11:46,230 --> 00:11:49,970
called the Queen Of Diamonds,
or Q.O.D.,
203
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:53,510
is rich enough
to move their whole operation.
204
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,180
[Dave] That looks good.
205
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,280
[Todd] I like seeing that, boy.
206
00:12:00,210 --> 00:12:02,020
[Dave] That's it, Freddy.
207
00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:08,090
[Todd] Be honest Freddy,
what do you think?
208
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,530
[Fred] That's some
beautiful gold.
209
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:18,160
I'm guessing about
50 bucks a yard.
210
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:21,430
- [Dave] 50 bucks a yard!
- [Todd] That's what we've been looking for, Fred.
211
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:23,170
Whoo!
212
00:12:23,170 --> 00:12:25,440
We're gonna go ahead
and lease the Q.O.D.
213
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,070
Guys, the journey starts
right here.
214
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,120
[engine whirring]
215
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,390
[horn honking]
216
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:43,120
[Todd] Yeah,
we're deep in it now.
217
00:12:43,130 --> 00:12:49,200
[narrator] In 2013, Todd Hoffman
and his crew have gambled $1 million
218
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,430
on a treasure hunt
in Guyana, South America.
219
00:12:53,770 --> 00:12:55,600
[speaking on radio]
220
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,280
[narrator] But before
they even reach their claim,
221
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,210
the tropical jungle throws
down its first challenge.
222
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:08,080
[Todd] Holy crap.
223
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:11,520
That's the sketchiest bridge
I've ever seen.
224
00:13:15,590 --> 00:13:21,030
[narrator] Unable to move their
23-ton trommel any closer to his claim,
225
00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:25,200
Todd's season looks like
it's over before it's begun.
226
00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:28,840
[Todd] We want to rebuild
this bridge.
227
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,570
- Will you guys help us?
- [man] You have the support.
228
00:13:31,570 --> 00:13:33,340
- Deal.
- [Todd] Deal.
229
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:36,340
- Right here, put a new board in here.
- [Fred] Yeah.
230
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:38,110
[saw whirring]
231
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:44,120
Board's coming your way, Jack.
232
00:13:45,050 --> 00:13:46,750
- [Todd] Clear?
- [Fred] Clear.
233
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,590
[rattling]
234
00:13:48,590 --> 00:13:51,460
We've done everything we
could do, now it's crunch time.
235
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:54,190
Here we go, guys.
236
00:13:58,170 --> 00:14:00,600
Take it easy, nice and slow.
237
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,074
Do you want subtitles for any video?
-=[ ai.OpenSubtitles.com ]=-
238
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:11,780
- [Dave] Woo-hoo!
- [Fred] Whoa!
239
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:17,120
Yeah! Oh, God. Yeah.
240
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,320
Out, right there was the
biggest thing we've done ever.
241
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,120
We did it, we did it.
242
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,960
- [Jack laughs]
- [Dave] Woo-hoo!
243
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,800
[Andy] Crank it up.
244
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,570
[narrator] Just six weeks after arriving
in Guyana, they are sluicing paydirt.
245
00:14:36,770 --> 00:14:38,040
[Andy] We know
there's gold here.
246
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,140
We're gonna give it our all
and see if we can get this done,
247
00:14:40,140 --> 00:14:42,940
get it accomplished and get
the dirt through the wash plant.
248
00:14:48,350 --> 00:14:51,250
- There's shoes in our tailings.
- [Dave] What the frick!
249
00:14:54,690 --> 00:14:56,460
This ground's not virgin ground.
250
00:14:56,460 --> 00:15:00,030
Oh [bleep].
This is bull [bleep].
251
00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:02,930
Todd said we're going to go off
to Guyana and find virgin ground
252
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:06,570
and now we're mining other
people's dump is what we're doing.
253
00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:08,900
[narrator] After running
1,500 yards,
254
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:12,710
they're questioning
if their test pan was a fluke.
255
00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:16,210
[Dave] I'm seeing no gold.
Zip, nada, nothing.
256
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,010
[narrator] With the crew
losing faith...
257
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,110
[Todd] You're quitting?
258
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,980
You find me some ground with gold
and we'll move mountains for you, Todd,
259
00:15:23,990 --> 00:15:26,250
but right now, I'm done.
260
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:30,390
[narrator] and disasters
on the mine site...
261
00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:35,030
[Todd] Hey guys, we need
more material through here.
262
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:39,130
- So they got it, oh--
- [loud crashing]
263
00:15:39,130 --> 00:15:42,200
You are freaking kidding me!
264
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:47,610
[narrator] The Hoffman
treasure hunt comes to an end...
265
00:15:47,610 --> 00:15:49,510
This freaking jungle's cursed.
266
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120
[narrator] with just
two ounces to show
267
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,290
for their $1 million investment.
268
00:16:02,990 --> 00:16:04,520
[engine roaring]
269
00:16:08,230 --> 00:16:10,760
Guyana
is one of the most beautiful,
270
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:13,600
but unforgiving places
in the world.
271
00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:18,270
Anything I made last year,
I lost right down here.
272
00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:29,920
[narrator] In the United States,
gold-rich virgin ground is rare,
273
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,790
but what the old-timers missed
with their limited technology,
274
00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:37,220
could make
a modern-day miner's fortune.
275
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,170
In 2018, Dave Turin
strikes off on his own,
276
00:16:46,170 --> 00:16:49,970
hunting for the gold
the old-timers left behind.
277
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:52,840
[Dave] So I've been to Montana,
278
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,270
I've been in Nevada,
I've been to the Yukon.
279
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,980
I mean, I've been
all over the place.
280
00:16:56,980 --> 00:16:58,980
And now, here I am in Arizona.
281
00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:03,420
I'm scared, I'm anxious, I'm
really feeling the pressure right now.
282
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:07,990
[narrator] 80 miles
south of Flagstaff,
283
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:13,330
Dave is about to meet local miner,
Casey Morgan, at Lynx Creek mine.
284
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,360
He sent me pictures of a pan,
285
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:22,540
and he got, like,
2.7 ounces out of 30 yards.
286
00:17:23,170 --> 00:17:25,300
Like, come on.
287
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:27,710
So I'm excited. It's what
I've been looking for.
288
00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:30,040
Hopefully something
comes of this.
289
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,680
[narrator] Lynx Creek is
four miles of dried riverbed
290
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,520
running east
out of Prescott Valley.
291
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,720
Gold was discovered here
in 1853.
292
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:49,130
A massive gold strike in 1862
caught President Lincoln's attention.
293
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:53,100
He sent men to the Prescott
Valley to protect its riches
294
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:56,970
that he used
to help fund the Civil War.
295
00:18:00,270 --> 00:18:06,910
Leaseholder Casey Morgan believes Abe
Lincoln's miners left buried treasure behind.
296
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,580
- Hey.
- [Casey] How you doing?
297
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:09,980
- Good nice to meet you.
- Okay.
298
00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:11,720
How much gold you
get out of this, you think?
299
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,890
To be honest with you, Dave,
it's gonna shock you.
300
00:18:14,890 --> 00:18:17,990
- Up to an ounce for every ten yards.
- Come on.
301
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:19,390
Here's the big question.
302
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:21,760
If the ground's that good,
why aren't you mining it?
303
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Didn't have the money.
304
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,100
- Show me where you dug that sample up.
- [Casey] Yeah, I will.
305
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:28,070
Came right down through here,
306
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:29,670
cut right through the middle.
307
00:18:29,670 --> 00:18:31,640
[narrator] In the 19th century,
308
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,640
Abe Lincoln's miners made their
way down the creek's main channel,
309
00:18:37,650 --> 00:18:43,380
but Casey thinks they missed a cache
of gold in tributaries feeding the creek.
310
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:47,520
Casey mined
the easternmost tributary.
311
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,490
He pulled 30 yards of pay
from the bank and bed,
312
00:18:51,490 --> 00:18:56,460
and found $3,000 worth
of gold in less than a day.
313
00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:05,140
Dave only needs $25 a yard
for the mine to be profitable.
314
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,440
[Dave] This is the layer
that I'd be interested in.
315
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:10,580
It's a good sign.
316
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:14,210
It's a traditional plaster,
but here's the thing.
317
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:15,580
How much gold is in there?
318
00:19:16,620 --> 00:19:17,950
I'm a little skeptical.
319
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:20,950
I need to check out, see
how much good, mineable gold
320
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,490
is in this valley.
321
00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:26,030
So we're gonna run a little test
here and see if we can find some gold.
322
00:19:26,030 --> 00:19:30,700
[narrator] Casey wants Dave to test
some paydirt he pulled from the ground,
323
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:35,230
before he ran out of money and
was forced to abandon the mine.
324
00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:39,970
[Dave] If Casey's telling me
this is close to 100 bucks a yard,
325
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:45,210
I need to see at least 40 or 50
chunky flakes of gold in my pan.
326
00:19:45,910 --> 00:19:47,780
[Casey] All right.
327
00:19:47,780 --> 00:19:49,420
- Let me get this, I'll get
this one-- - [Dave] Wow,
328
00:19:49,420 --> 00:19:51,550
- look at all the black sand in there already.
- [Casey] Yeah.
329
00:19:57,290 --> 00:19:58,260
[Dave] Holy [bleep].
330
00:19:58,260 --> 00:20:00,060
- [Casey] Yep.
- [Dave] Look at that.
331
00:20:01,930 --> 00:20:06,070
There's at least
50 big colors in here.
332
00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:08,870
- [Casey] Yeah.
- [Dave] And it's good chunky gold, look at that.
333
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:10,670
[narrator] Fifty colors
in the pan
334
00:20:10,670 --> 00:20:14,340
indicates treasure
the old-timers left behind.
335
00:20:14,340 --> 00:20:17,340
For two years, I've been
looking for that pan right there.
336
00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:19,680
It looks
freaking awesome, Casey.
337
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,350
I've been traveling for two years
since I got out of the Hoffmans,
338
00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:27,990
and I've been all over this stinking
place looking for exactly this.
339
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,590
Come on man.
340
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,320
- [Casey] All right.
- [Dave] All right.
341
00:20:31,330 --> 00:20:34,390
I gotta see if I can make a
deal that works for everyone.
342
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:38,200
But I think
we just hit a home run.
343
00:20:38,330 --> 00:20:40,070
[metal clanging]
344
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:43,000
[narrator] Just a month later,
345
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,540
Dave has assembled a
small crew to mine Lynx Creek
346
00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:48,370
for a five-week trial.
347
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:55,150
But restrictions imposed on
his lease by the landowners,
348
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:59,320
prevented him from sluicing
the spot he and Casey panned.
349
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:03,320
[bleeping] Jesse.
350
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:06,890
1.2 ounces.
351
00:21:06,890 --> 00:21:11,160
Got some bad news. This ground's
not paying. I guess we go prospecting.
352
00:21:11,170 --> 00:21:13,700
[Jason] Dave,
no disrespect, none.
353
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,130
Since day one
we've pulled up here,
354
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:21,040
all I've heard about is this
magical, mythological east
355
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,910
that's supposed to have
this pan that brought you here.
356
00:21:23,910 --> 00:21:25,810
And we're not there, why?
357
00:21:25,810 --> 00:21:29,050
They said, "Stay west
of the pipeline."
358
00:21:29,050 --> 00:21:32,650
It's easier to beg for forgiveness
than it is to ask for permission.
359
00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:35,120
It's a lot easier to hand them
a jar of gold that's--
360
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,690
- No, I get it. I get it.
- [Jason] Substantial and go,
361
00:21:36,690 --> 00:21:39,930
"I apologize for going over there
but here, put this in your wallet."
362
00:21:39,930 --> 00:21:44,560
How about we go across that pipeline
and they say, "You guys are done."
363
00:21:45,770 --> 00:21:48,270
- You truly believe the gold's there?
- I saw it, it's there.
364
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:51,040
[Jason] So let's take the
land owners a fat-ass jar gold.
365
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,070
We're gonna do it,
let's do it right now.
366
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,040
[narrator] From his current cut,
367
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:01,810
Dave must drive a mile and a half
east through a power company's yard
368
00:22:01,820 --> 00:22:05,020
to get to potential gold
on the ground
369
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:08,320
his landowners warned him
not to mine.
370
00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:12,430
[engine whirring]
371
00:22:20,130 --> 00:22:22,400
Dave, is that a cop car?
372
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,110
[Dave] All right, we're just gonna
act like we're meant to be here.
373
00:22:26,110 --> 00:22:30,340
Let's just get this done. Don't even look,
just act like we know what we're doing.
374
00:22:33,110 --> 00:22:35,980
[Jason on radio]
375
00:22:37,220 --> 00:22:38,120
[Dave chuckles] Yeah.
376
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,250
And the five-0.
377
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,290
Looks good Jason, looks good.
Let me grab a sample.
378
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,000
[narrator] After striking gold
379
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,600
back in the eastern tributary...
380
00:22:55,170 --> 00:22:56,240
[Jason] Dude!
381
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,270
Dave, look at the size.
382
00:22:58,270 --> 00:22:59,940
- [Dave] Holy crap.
- [Jason] I didn't think this place had
383
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:02,010
gold like that anywhere here.
384
00:23:02,010 --> 00:23:04,180
[narrator] then getting
approval from his landowners...
385
00:23:04,180 --> 00:23:05,440
- Hey.
- Thanks, Brad.
386
00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:06,680
- Thanks for coming, appreciate it.
- Yeah.
387
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,020
[narrator] Dave is finally
on the gold.
388
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:15,120
Hey guys, I got good news. Whoo!
We got the ground east of the pipeline.
389
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,920
Whoo! Let's dig.
390
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:19,990
We're going for it now, boys.
391
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,660
[Nathan] Oh yeah, baby.
392
00:23:23,660 --> 00:23:27,270
[Chris] Hell yeah!
Bring it on, big daddy.
393
00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:31,140
[narrator] And the final days
of the season paid out.
394
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:34,840
Ooh yeah!
395
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,780
[all cheering]
396
00:23:36,780 --> 00:23:38,740
- [Dave] Two jars, gentlemen.
- Oh my [bleep].
397
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:42,450
- Whoa!
- We've got 59 ounces in this.
398
00:23:42,450 --> 00:23:47,320
- [Chris] Whoo!
- We did that in four weeks and five days.
399
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,460
Last day, 21 ounces.
400
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:53,090
80 ounces total, guys.
401
00:23:53,090 --> 00:23:54,830
- [Nathan laughs]
- [Dave] We did it.
402
00:23:54,830 --> 00:23:57,000
- Whoa, yeah!
- What?
403
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,870
[Dave] Not only did we get
80 ounces out of the ground,
404
00:23:59,870 --> 00:24:02,940
but we became
a legitimate mining group.
405
00:24:02,940 --> 00:24:06,210
[narrator] Lynx creek
held the old-timers' treasure
406
00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:08,740
Dave Turin went there to find.
407
00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:10,010
[Jason] Team Turin, gentlemen.
408
00:24:10,010 --> 00:24:11,940
- [Dave] We're there!
- [Nathan] Whoo!
409
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:21,050
[narrator] Since
gold mining began,
410
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:24,420
miners have hunted
for a sacred prize,
411
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:26,060
the mother lode.
412
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:37,770
In 2019, Rick Ness set off on
the biggest treasure hunt of his life,
413
00:24:37,770 --> 00:24:42,070
a nugget hunt near the
source of gold on Mount Hinton.
414
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,850
I did okay last year
and it was all right,
415
00:24:46,850 --> 00:24:51,150
and like that's... That's just not good
enough for me, you know what I mean?
416
00:24:51,150 --> 00:24:55,650
I just, I want something better
than okay, you know, and I think that,
417
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:58,720
I don't think I can get anything
better than okay in the Klondike.
418
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:01,490
My worry is that you could
very well go bankrupt.
419
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,230
[narrator] The "X"
on Rick's treasure map
420
00:25:06,230 --> 00:25:11,870
was a mountain claim on Duncan
Creek in Canada's Yukon territory,
421
00:25:11,870 --> 00:25:15,110
owned by Stuart Gray
and his son, Dean.
422
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:16,480
Wow!
423
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,910
- [chuckling] Holy...
- [bleep]
424
00:25:18,910 --> 00:25:20,480
[bleep]
425
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:23,780
[Stuart] The thing
is a treasure hunt.
426
00:25:23,780 --> 00:25:27,150
They're probably twice as good
when you get down there.
427
00:25:27,150 --> 00:25:29,020
[Rick] What's that phrase?
"Shut up and take my money."
428
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:30,820
[all laugh]
429
00:25:30,830 --> 00:25:33,160
- [Stuart] Well, it drives
the hunt and-- - [Rick] Yeah.
430
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,500
[Stuart] The potential
from what we know is huge.
431
00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:43,140
[narrator] Lured by the
promise of monster nuggets,
432
00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:46,040
Rick leases the claim
from the Grays.
433
00:25:47,670 --> 00:25:49,140
Two months into the season,
434
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:52,650
Rick has just 45 ounces of gold
435
00:25:52,650 --> 00:25:55,550
and has yet to find
a single nugget.
436
00:25:57,820 --> 00:25:59,990
Where we've been digging,
it's just not cutting it.
437
00:25:59,990 --> 00:26:03,790
I mean, it's just not giving us
the gold that we're going to need.
438
00:26:03,790 --> 00:26:07,960
We came here under the promise of, you
know, gold-rich pockets and big nuggets,
439
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,500
and uh, right now, that's what
we need to save our season.
440
00:26:13,970 --> 00:26:19,970
[narrator] Rick calls his dad, Rick Senior,
back to the Yukon to help track down the gold.
441
00:26:24,010 --> 00:26:24,910
[thuds]
442
00:26:24,910 --> 00:26:26,110
[bleep]
443
00:26:28,950 --> 00:26:31,150
[bleep] me,
right [bleep] runway.
444
00:26:31,150 --> 00:26:33,290
[laughs] Good to see you, dad.
445
00:26:33,290 --> 00:26:36,960
[narrator] Rick fills his dad
in on a new plan of action,
446
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,430
a treasure hunt for new ground.
447
00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:41,760
So, our wash plant's right here,
448
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,060
- and we're digging into this right side.
- [Rick Senior] Yep.
449
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:46,570
[Rick] I think the biggest
stuff is going to be high up.
450
00:26:46,570 --> 00:26:48,030
[Rick Senior] We should
probably jump in the airplane
451
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,000
and just have a look overhead
at all these valleys.
452
00:26:51,010 --> 00:26:53,070
- You think you can fly your plane in there?
- Oh, hell yeah.
453
00:26:53,070 --> 00:26:54,240
- [Rick] Really?
- Yeah.
454
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,240
I mean, this is like
way more of a treasure hunt
455
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,780
than any gold mining
I've ever done.
456
00:26:57,780 --> 00:26:59,480
- [Rick Senior] No [bleep] right?
- [laughs]
457
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,580
- We're gonna fire up.
- [Rick] Go.
458
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,450
[engine sputtering]
459
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:08,420
[engine revs]
460
00:27:19,970 --> 00:27:22,170
Oh my [bleep],
look at this up here.
461
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:24,500
[Rick] Mount Hinton right there.
462
00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:27,040
Wow.
463
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,170
- [Rick Senior] Going down.
- [Rick] Holy [bleep].
464
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,110
[Rick Senior laughs]
465
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:35,850
The big gold
that we're looking for
466
00:27:35,850 --> 00:27:38,080
is going to be up
in one of these tributaries.
467
00:27:38,090 --> 00:27:39,520
We got to get higher up,
you know.
468
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,290
So, the farther down they come,
469
00:27:41,290 --> 00:27:45,960
the more opportunity they had to
break up into smaller pieces, you know?
470
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:49,160
I'd like to look for that one.
471
00:27:49,630 --> 00:27:51,430
I really think that's the spot.
472
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,840
[narrator] After spotting
the tributary from the air,
473
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:02,340
Rick and Rick Senior need to work
their way up Mount Hinton to run a test.
474
00:28:04,110 --> 00:28:05,580
[metal clanging]
475
00:28:05,580 --> 00:28:08,150
[Rick] Watch out. Easy.
476
00:28:09,950 --> 00:28:12,080
[narrator] If Rick's hunch
is right,
477
00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:16,290
he could be hot on the trail of
monster nuggets from the mother lode.
478
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,300
[Rick] See that?
Like that's...
479
00:28:24,030 --> 00:28:26,200
- That's pieces of bedrock.
- Yeah, yeah.
480
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,570
[Rick] I'm gonna go
straight to the creek.
481
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:38,480
[narrator] This pan could turn
Rick's whole season around.
482
00:28:39,980 --> 00:28:41,410
[Rick] It's not happening.
483
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:46,120
- [Rick Senior] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is that?
- [Rick laughs]
484
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:47,420
Whoa.
485
00:28:48,250 --> 00:28:49,490
[laughs]
486
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,990
[Rick Senior] That's more
like it.
487
00:28:52,990 --> 00:28:54,290
[Rick] What the hell.
488
00:28:55,030 --> 00:28:56,430
That's incredible.
489
00:28:57,030 --> 00:28:59,630
I've never been able to pick
a piece out of a pan.
490
00:28:59,630 --> 00:29:02,600
I'm gonna have to have a
picture of that, that's a [bleep] first.
491
00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:08,110
[Rick Senior] If we lucked out
with that, there's gotta be more here.
492
00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:09,910
This is gold country.
493
00:29:09,910 --> 00:29:10,980
Yeah.
494
00:29:11,410 --> 00:29:13,580
[Rick Senior] It's crazy.
495
00:29:13,580 --> 00:29:18,580
[narrator] Rick wastes no time in
digging more holes in his new hot spot.
496
00:29:18,590 --> 00:29:21,020
The whole season's
riding on this right now.
497
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,560
Uh, I need a... break here
is what I need.
498
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,330
I mean, I need to leave here
with some big nuggets
499
00:29:27,330 --> 00:29:29,030
and that would be
a huge success for me.
500
00:29:29,030 --> 00:29:32,260
[narrator] To help, he's
brought in gold recovery experts,
501
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,970
Freddy Dodge and Gene Cheeseman.
502
00:29:35,970 --> 00:29:37,840
[bleeping]
503
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,870
[narrator] But Mount Hinton
doesn't give up its nuggets easily.
504
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,410
[Fred] Froze, huh, Rick?
505
00:29:44,410 --> 00:29:47,010
I'm just going to go up a little
farther and I'll just dig right there.
506
00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:48,280
[Fred] Okay.
507
00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:57,590
Yeah, that's just as [bleep]
frozen as the last spot.
508
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,730
Just like the other, huh, Rick?
509
00:30:04,730 --> 00:30:07,370
Oh, she's pretty [bleep]
frozen right there too, yep.
510
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,240
[narrator] Rick's treasure
hunt has hit a dead end,
511
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,940
and he's no closer
to finding big gold.
512
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,110
It's a big [bleep]
waste of time.
513
00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:22,080
I mean, it don't matter how much
gold's down there we ain't gonna get it.
514
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,150
Yeah, this really sucks.
515
00:30:25,150 --> 00:30:27,290
[Rick] Back
to the drawing board.
516
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:34,930
[narrator] Rick is forced
to rethink.
517
00:30:34,930 --> 00:30:38,930
[Rick] There is gold here, it's
just a matter of figuring out where.
518
00:30:38,930 --> 00:30:44,770
[narrator] The following year, he moves
eight miles south to lower Duncan Creek...
519
00:30:44,770 --> 00:30:48,240
Hoping for a quick smash and
grab, you know, dig a little pit, test it
520
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,980
and, uh, hopefully
find my future.
521
00:30:51,980 --> 00:30:55,580
[narrator] and carries on
the nugget hunt.
522
00:30:55,580 --> 00:30:58,580
[Rick] It's a little bit deeper
than I thought it would be.
523
00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:02,220
But that's definitely
the stuff we're looking for.
524
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:06,790
[Rick] There's a smile
on your face.
525
00:31:06,790 --> 00:31:08,230
- [Karla] You don't even know.
- No?
526
00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:10,200
This is like
what dreams are made of.
527
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:11,930
[squealing] What?
528
00:31:11,930 --> 00:31:15,270
- [Karla] I know!
- [Rick] Holy [bleep]. Yeah!
529
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,570
[all laugh]
530
00:31:19,570 --> 00:31:23,010
[Brian] Oh, snap [bleep].
Can you believe that?
531
00:31:23,010 --> 00:31:25,840
[narrator] After two seasons
of searching,
532
00:31:25,850 --> 00:31:30,750
a 1.54 ounce nugget
worth at least $4,000...
533
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:33,150
- Yeah buddy.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
534
00:31:33,150 --> 00:31:36,790
[narrator] which helps Rick
hit his season goal for the year.
535
00:31:36,790 --> 00:31:38,890
So, we're at just over
1,080 ounces.
536
00:31:38,890 --> 00:31:41,260
- [laughs]
- Whoo!
537
00:31:41,260 --> 00:31:43,760
[Rick] Well, I'm learning to
trust my gut out here,
538
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,600
and got good gold
and on top of that,
539
00:31:47,070 --> 00:31:48,700
got that bad boy to show for it.
540
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,920
[narrator] The best miners will use
whatever means they can to find the gold,
541
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,050
including the latest technology.
542
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,690
In 2014, in the Yukon,
543
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:16,960
Freddy Dodge
and his brother Derek
544
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,330
are on a treasure hunt for a
life-changing amount of gold.
545
00:32:24,770 --> 00:32:27,070
This creek's
a treasure hunt for me.
546
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:30,680
It has the opportunity
to really bring in some gold.
547
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,420
Not just a little bit here
and there, but big nuggets.
548
00:32:36,420 --> 00:32:40,690
[Derek] It's a game of chance. It's
just like, you know, going to Las Vegas
549
00:32:40,690 --> 00:32:43,020
and rolling the dice.
550
00:32:44,060 --> 00:32:46,630
[narrator] Their season
is coming to an end,
551
00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:51,260
but they've only found
155 ounces of gold.
552
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:56,570
[Fred] Is it a treasure hunt or
is it a place to go bankrupt on?
553
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,770
[narrator] Desperate
to turn things around,
554
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:05,740
Freddy's taking their
treasure hunt high tech...
555
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,680
- [Fred] How are you doing, how is it?
- Good to see you.
556
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,350
[narrator] and into
the 21st century.
557
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:11,150
So, we're going to fly
the drone up above here.
558
00:33:11,150 --> 00:33:14,650
We're going to make a detailed map
of what this ground surface looks like,
559
00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:16,920
and then the radar is going
to make a detailed map
560
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,660
- of what the bedrock looks like.
- That's what I'm after.
561
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:20,960
- [Derek] Yeah. That's exactly what we're looking for.
- That's perfect.
562
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,400
-[Fred] It's amazing, huh?
-[drone operator] Put her in the air.
563
00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:28,430
-[Fred] There it goes.
-[drone operator] Now it's off to its mission.
564
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:33,970
[narrator] The drone
will fly up the creek,
565
00:33:33,970 --> 00:33:37,540
taking detailed aerial
photographs of the valley.
566
00:33:40,750 --> 00:33:44,580
Independently, the
ground-penetrating radar device
567
00:33:44,590 --> 00:33:47,650
moves from side to side
across the creek,
568
00:33:47,650 --> 00:33:51,090
sending out radio waves
from a transmitter.
569
00:33:52,930 --> 00:33:58,130
The radio waves bounce back
off the bedrock to a receiver.
570
00:33:58,130 --> 00:34:00,770
The time it takes
the signal to return
571
00:34:00,770 --> 00:34:05,000
gives the exact depth and
contour of the bedrock below.
572
00:34:05,010 --> 00:34:07,840
Hey, you know, I'm kind of
old-time miner,
573
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,010
so it's all-new technology to
me and I'll believe it when I see it.
574
00:34:12,010 --> 00:34:15,580
- [imitates shooting sound]
- [Fred laughs]
575
00:34:18,220 --> 00:34:23,460
[narrator] This new technology gives
Freddy a vital clue on his treasure map.
576
00:34:25,590 --> 00:34:26,960
[Fred] Have a look at this.
577
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,130
Look right here.
578
00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:31,260
See where it just fans out
right there,
579
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:32,860
that should be our alluvial fan.
580
00:34:32,870 --> 00:34:34,930
[narrator] An alluvial fan
581
00:34:34,940 --> 00:34:38,270
indicates a potential deposit
of gold-rich gravels
582
00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:41,370
spilling from a hillside
into a valley.
583
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,010
I think our best gold's
right here.
584
00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:51,050
That's a long damn way
from down here where we're at.
585
00:34:52,850 --> 00:34:55,450
Mine every inch
and wash every damn rock,
586
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,160
and take every speck of gold
587
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,560
from down here where we're at,
to up here.
588
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,260
That's how you
gotta do it, Freddy.
589
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:09,070
[narrator] There's 700 feet
of creek bed to mine
590
00:35:09,070 --> 00:35:12,240
before they'll reach the X
on Freddy's treasure map.
591
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,040
And winter is closing in fast.
592
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,750
[Fred] This is where
we want to get to this season.
593
00:35:20,750 --> 00:35:24,380
To me, this should be the
best gold, right under our feet.
594
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,620
My goal
is before this season ends,
595
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,960
to find out what kind of gold
is under this tree.
596
00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:36,130
We just got to get to it.
597
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,440
The more material we move
here, the faster we get up there.
598
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:51,910
[narrator] In the Yukon,
Freddy Dodge and brother Derek
599
00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:57,380
have reached an alluvial fan they
found using a ground-penetrating radar.
600
00:35:58,650 --> 00:36:01,290
There's my mark.
That's why I'm here.
601
00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:03,390
That's why we've worked
our ass off this season.
602
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,730
You know, you can see
how close we are.
603
00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:08,230
We're stripping right now.
604
00:36:08,230 --> 00:36:11,630
You know, so come hell
or high water,
605
00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:14,030
I want to see what's
in that fan, right there.
606
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:17,940
[narrator] They're in
the dying hours of the season,
607
00:36:17,940 --> 00:36:21,870
but are finally on the ground
they were aiming for.
608
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,380
This is where we were trying
to get all season.
609
00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:28,180
I hope there's a pot of gold
sitting under it.
610
00:36:29,180 --> 00:36:30,980
I want to see big nuggets.
611
00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:35,090
- Last bucket, Derek.
- A couple more.
612
00:36:37,060 --> 00:36:41,160
[narrator] The final cleanup
will show if the drone and radar
613
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,260
pinpointed treasure
in the creek.
614
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:44,600
[Derek] That's it.
615
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:53,000
[Fred] Last cleanup
of the year. [sighs]
616
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:54,270
Ten...
617
00:36:56,010 --> 00:36:57,110
Twenty...
618
00:36:57,110 --> 00:36:58,140
Thirty...
619
00:37:01,110 --> 00:37:02,110
Forty...
620
00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:05,620
42.14.
621
00:37:05,620 --> 00:37:07,920
[both laugh]
622
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,020
[narrator] The nuggets
from Freddy's treasure hunt
623
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:15,130
added to their fine gold, means
they've smashed their target...
624
00:37:15,130 --> 00:37:17,030
[both laugh]
625
00:37:17,030 --> 00:37:20,130
[Fred] We got 109.18 ounces.
626
00:37:20,130 --> 00:37:23,770
We had 296, we're over 405.
627
00:37:23,770 --> 00:37:27,640
[narrator] worth nearly
half a million dollars.
628
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,140
[Fred] Like, look at
some of those nuggets, boy.
629
00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:33,310
That's, that's the final
result of not giving up.
630
00:37:33,310 --> 00:37:34,480
This cleanup...
631
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,050
is the best of the year.
632
00:37:38,050 --> 00:37:40,620
- I love you, buddy.
- [Fred] Love you, brother.
633
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,890
[narrator] Remote
and hostile locations
634
00:37:47,890 --> 00:37:50,960
can pay out
the greatest deposits of gold,
635
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,970
but only for those daring
enough to try.
636
00:38:00,170 --> 00:38:03,480
The Chilkat mountain range,
eastern Alaska,
637
00:38:05,610 --> 00:38:11,080
In 2019, Fred and Dustin Hurt
need a new spot to mine,
638
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,950
to see them through
to the end of the season.
639
00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:22,330
We got some good gold, can
we not go further up, I mean...
640
00:38:22,330 --> 00:38:25,960
I'd love to go upstream but it's
not my land, so we can't do it.
641
00:38:25,970 --> 00:38:28,070
Where are you gonna go now?
642
00:38:28,070 --> 00:38:31,570
[Wes] We're looking for something that
we can get done in a short amount of time.
643
00:38:31,570 --> 00:38:34,170
It's just gonna, it's gonna be
a challenge for sure.
644
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:37,210
[Dustin] Go down to McKinley.
645
00:38:37,210 --> 00:38:41,110
So, there's some areas
just above the big waterfall,
646
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:44,580
that we can hit
really fast, really strong.
647
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:47,550
- Everything else looks like it'll
take a half a season-- - [Wes] Yeah.
648
00:38:47,550 --> 00:38:51,360
[Dustin] And we don't have
a half a season left.
649
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,330
[narrator] Dustin wants to go
on a last-minute treasure hunt.
650
00:38:55,330 --> 00:38:58,000
High risk for high reward.
651
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,070
The hunt continues.
652
00:39:03,340 --> 00:39:07,110
[narrator] The X on Dustin's
treasure map could be perfect,
653
00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:09,410
but is dangerous to reach.
654
00:39:09,410 --> 00:39:11,040
[Dustin] Seriously guys,
be safe.
655
00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:12,840
[thudding]
656
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:14,080
Ooh.
657
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,050
[narrator] They need to
rappel down to McKinley Falls
658
00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:22,090
and then search the pools
above for a potential dig site.
659
00:39:22,090 --> 00:39:23,190
[James] There you go.
660
00:39:24,660 --> 00:39:26,090
[screams]
661
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,370
[narrator] Gold miners
like Parker Schnabel
662
00:39:33,370 --> 00:39:37,970
aren't short of motivation
for a treasure hunt,
663
00:39:37,970 --> 00:39:43,680
but sometimes a reminder of what could
be in the ground can renew their hunger.
664
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,140
[Parker] Did you find those?
665
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:49,280
Hey Parker, these are the two
largest nuggets I have ever found.
666
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:53,690
This one comes in
at 2.4 kilograms,
667
00:39:53,690 --> 00:39:56,790
and this one is 1.4 kilograms.
668
00:39:56,790 --> 00:39:58,090
- [man] Holy cow.
- Do you mind if I hold them?
669
00:39:58,090 --> 00:40:00,560
[miner] 77 ounces and 46 ounces.
670
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,990
- [Parker] Wow.
- [woman] That's amazing.
671
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,930
[man] This is like the
shiniest gold I've ever seen.
672
00:40:03,930 --> 00:40:05,230
- [woman] It's beautiful, isn't it?
- [man] Yeah.
673
00:40:05,230 --> 00:40:07,270
[Parker] You wouldn't take
less than a quarter-million for this.
674
00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:10,000
[miner] The premium would definitely be
a quarter of a million dollars, you know,
675
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,140
it's worth something like that.
676
00:40:12,140 --> 00:40:15,010
- There's a retirement fund.
- [miner] Yeah, exactly.
677
00:40:21,510 --> 00:40:23,080
[Dustin] Seriously guys,
be safe.
678
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,580
[narrator] Dustin Hurt and
his crew are on a treasure hunt
679
00:40:26,590 --> 00:40:29,020
that could cost them
their lives.
680
00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:31,990
[James screams]
681
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:35,290
[Dustin] You gotta step first,
there it is.
682
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:37,100
There you go, you're
all right, you're all right.
683
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:38,930
[James] I'm, I'm [bleep] uh--
684
00:40:38,930 --> 00:40:40,000
[Dustin] Terrified, I get it.
685
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,200
- [James] Terrified.
- [Dustin] I get it.
686
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,870
- [James] I'm trying.
- [Dustin] I know, no, no,
687
00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:45,570
you're [bleep] doing it.
You're doing great, man.
688
00:40:45,570 --> 00:40:47,140
You got to take a second,
take a second.
689
00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:48,670
Trust me on this.
690
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,810
[narrator] They're rappelling
down to McKinley Falls
691
00:40:51,810 --> 00:40:55,150
to search the pools above
in an end of season,
692
00:40:55,150 --> 00:40:58,580
last chance hunt for gold.
693
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,290
- [Dustin] Oh man, look at that!
- [James laughs]
694
00:41:04,390 --> 00:41:07,930
That's McKinley Falls.
695
00:41:07,930 --> 00:41:13,570
[narrator] Old-timers pulled around
4,500 ounces from beneath McKinley Falls,
696
00:41:13,570 --> 00:41:17,200
worth $8.1 million today.
697
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:19,770
[water splashing]
698
00:41:19,770 --> 00:41:24,710
Dustin is counting on them having
missed the plunge pools above the falls.
699
00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:26,880
And here we are,
trying to get gold, you know,
700
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,850
just the same thing that they
were trying to do 100 years ago.
701
00:41:28,850 --> 00:41:31,720
They were tougher
than we'll ever be.
702
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,090
[Wes] They did a lot of work.
That's pretty amazing.
703
00:41:35,090 --> 00:41:37,320
[Dustin] There's no telling
how much gold is still here.
704
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:42,330
Holy [bleep]. Don't fall
in this water, you will die.
705
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:45,560
It looks like a good pool.
706
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:47,500
Especially over there.
707
00:41:48,700 --> 00:41:49,930
[Wes] This is all bedrock,
708
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:52,970
and it's got a tight turn, so,
the water slows down.
709
00:41:52,970 --> 00:41:56,710
If it hits a slow area that gold
will drop out because it's so heavy.
710
00:41:56,710 --> 00:41:59,210
This is what is going to have
the nuggets in it.
711
00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:07,420
[narrator] Here the creek
is at its most powerful,
712
00:42:07,420 --> 00:42:09,950
as it rages
through a bottleneck.
713
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,090
Worse, the site is just feet
above the giant McKinley Falls
714
00:42:15,100 --> 00:42:19,460
and one mistake
could cost a miner his life.
715
00:42:23,140 --> 00:42:25,570
[Dustin] This is a gamble.
716
00:42:25,570 --> 00:42:27,840
[Wes] We can dig
or we can go home.
717
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,940
What I'm trying to get at is,
718
00:42:31,110 --> 00:42:32,210
are you in?
719
00:42:35,850 --> 00:42:36,550
I'm in.
720
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:38,380
I'm in.
721
00:42:38,980 --> 00:42:41,190
I vote... in.
722
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,590
[Dustin] This is soon to be
our next dig, man.
723
00:42:46,590 --> 00:42:51,100
Everybody, pucker up because
this is gonna be a scary one.
724
00:42:54,030 --> 00:42:55,500
Now the hard part.
725
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,040
[narrator] Before
they can mine for nuggets
726
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,640
in the lethal plunge pool
above McKinley Falls,
727
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,940
Dustin and his crew
must first figure out
728
00:43:05,950 --> 00:43:11,380
how to get a nearly half-ton
dredge 400 feet down a cliff.
729
00:43:13,050 --> 00:43:15,850
All we got to do
is get it from over there
730
00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:18,220
down into that hole down there.
731
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,730
The last thing we want to do
is drop the [bleep] dredge.
732
00:43:23,730 --> 00:43:25,760
[Fred Hurt] Hey Dustin,
don't get in front of that thing,
733
00:43:25,770 --> 00:43:28,400
- I hear you, Fred.
- [Hurt] All right, go ahead.
734
00:43:29,940 --> 00:43:31,270
I just got to keep a pull on it
735
00:43:31,270 --> 00:43:33,000
so it doesn't just shoot away.
736
00:43:33,010 --> 00:43:34,310
[Dustin] Keep coming down.
737
00:43:34,970 --> 00:43:36,640
[narrator] Dustin's plan,
738
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,580
rappel down the 400-foot cliff,
739
00:43:39,580 --> 00:43:44,180
alongside the dredge to keep it
from getting caught on the rocks.
740
00:43:44,180 --> 00:43:47,020
[Hurt] All right,
this is beyond crazy.
741
00:43:47,020 --> 00:43:51,560
It is extremely, extremely
dangerous stuff.
742
00:43:52,690 --> 00:43:54,530
It's the wrong way
to do this [bleep].
743
00:43:56,930 --> 00:43:59,360
- [Wes] Dustin, you all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
744
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:00,260
[chuckles]
745
00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:02,230
Yeah! Come here.
746
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:06,440
It's almost vertical
right from here out.
747
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,940
Ten feet out there...
748
00:44:07,940 --> 00:44:09,840
[whistles] Straight down.
749
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,410
A life or death situation
right this minute.
750
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,250
[Carlos yells] Dustin
rock, rock!
751
00:44:20,590 --> 00:44:22,020
[Dustin] Ugh!
752
00:44:22,020 --> 00:44:23,290
[Carlos] Dustin!
753
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,530
You all right?
754
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:32,460
Dustin!
755
00:44:39,740 --> 00:44:43,010
Ah! A piece of slate
hit me in my face.
756
00:44:43,010 --> 00:44:46,280
Knocked me-- just knocked
this-- knocked me in the stars.
757
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:51,150
Keep coming.
758
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,390
We have to get some more gold.
I'm breaking even right now,
759
00:44:55,390 --> 00:44:59,890
but man it would be sure
great to have profit out of this.
760
00:44:59,890 --> 00:45:01,960
No, no, perfectly dude, watch!
761
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,360
- [Dustin] All right.
- [Carlos] Freaking effort dude.
762
00:45:05,630 --> 00:45:08,070
All right guys, what are we
calling this place?
763
00:45:08,070 --> 00:45:11,840
Since you got hit in the head, we're
going to call this Rockfall Ravine.
764
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,910
All right. Watch out for the
rocks, it is Rockfall Ravine.
765
00:45:15,910 --> 00:45:17,040
Let's get to work.
766
00:45:17,980 --> 00:45:19,940
Ready to dredge, man.
767
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:22,980
I love it when a plan
comes together. [laughs]
768
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:27,720
There's a lot of ways to die
or get hurt here,
769
00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,290
but I'm convinced
I'm gonna find the gold.
770
00:45:31,890 --> 00:45:33,520
I'm ready to start
diving out, man.
771
00:45:36,930 --> 00:45:38,930
Too bad. [laughs]
772
00:45:38,930 --> 00:45:40,230
[bubbling]
773
00:45:44,170 --> 00:45:46,340
Oh, bedrock already.
774
00:45:49,340 --> 00:45:50,410
There we go, James.
775
00:45:50,410 --> 00:45:51,580
Just stop over here.
776
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:53,480
[laughs]
777
00:45:56,050 --> 00:45:57,950
[laughs hysterically]
778
00:45:57,950 --> 00:45:59,380
Where you at? Come here.
779
00:45:59,390 --> 00:46:01,850
- Okay.
- [Carlos shouts] Come here!
780
00:46:01,860 --> 00:46:03,120
[Wes] What?
781
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,860
[Carlos laughs]
782
00:46:04,860 --> 00:46:06,560
That's for you, brother.
783
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,090
Get the [bleep] out of here.
784
00:46:08,090 --> 00:46:11,160
[James and Carlos shout]
785
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,630
[narrator] Within minutes,
Dustin's treasure hunt pays off.
786
00:46:14,630 --> 00:46:15,870
[Carlos laughing]
787
00:46:15,870 --> 00:46:18,000
[Dustin] If there was anybody
that dug here,
788
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,340
they've missed
that nugget, for sure.
789
00:46:20,340 --> 00:46:24,080
- What a great first dive.
- [James] It doesn't get any better.
790
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,980
To all you haters, [bleep] you.
791
00:46:29,010 --> 00:46:31,050
- [Carlos shouts]
- [Dustin] Holy!
792
00:46:31,050 --> 00:46:33,450
[bleep]
793
00:46:35,090 --> 00:46:36,550
[Dustin] Oh, my [bleep]...
794
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,920
Look at that, crazy.
795
00:46:38,930 --> 00:46:40,320
[James] Whoa!
796
00:46:40,330 --> 00:46:41,590
[all laughing]
797
00:46:41,590 --> 00:46:43,230
Dude, that's awesome.
798
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,060
[shouts]
799
00:46:46,300 --> 00:46:48,370
Woo-hoo!
800
00:46:48,730 --> 00:46:50,070
Whoa!
801
00:46:50,070 --> 00:46:52,740
That's a one-in-a-lifetime find.
802
00:46:52,740 --> 00:46:55,810
- You see how big that was? Oh.
- [laughs]
803
00:46:55,810 --> 00:47:00,550
[narrator] Rockfall Ravine has delivered
the bounty that Dustin believed in.
804
00:47:04,220 --> 00:47:06,850
At their final gold weigh
of the season...
805
00:47:06,850 --> 00:47:09,550
[Dustin] Look at
some of these nuggets, man.
806
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,160
[James] Can you still believe
we did all this by hand.
807
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,160
[Carlos] Twenty six, 27, 28.
808
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,190
[James] I would hope it would.
809
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,100
[Dustin] Thirty.
810
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,060
[narrator] the nuggets
from Rockfall Ravine...
811
00:47:20,070 --> 00:47:22,270
[Dustin] 33.64.
812
00:47:22,270 --> 00:47:26,770
[narrator] mean Dustin's
treasure hunt has paid out big time.
813
00:47:26,770 --> 00:47:29,570
[Dustin] About $50,000
sitting right there.
814
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,210
Way to end
the season, man, right?
815
00:47:32,210 --> 00:47:35,310
- [Dustin] Hell yeah.
- I'm glad to be a part of it, guys.
816
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,020
- [Carlos] Hey, man.
- [both laugh]
817
00:47:41,150 --> 00:47:46,090
[narrator] With more than 55,000
tons of gold left on the planet,
818
00:47:46,090 --> 00:47:48,960
the hunt for treasure continues,
819
00:47:51,130 --> 00:47:56,130
driven by men and women
willing to risk it all.
