Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,872 --> 00:00:06,473
We think there's a grave.
2
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:09,042
We're gonna first figure out
if it is a crime scene.
3
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:12,846
Obviously, if it is,
the whole world's gonna change.
4
00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:15,382
- Is that a bone?
- Yeah.
5
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,384
I'm bringing in
all the equipment,
6
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:18,385
because we found some
really hard evidence
7
00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:19,987
that the Spanish were here.
8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,723
A little tricky to get
this thing up in this pit.
9
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:34,134
Today we're bringing
in a geophysicist.
10
00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:36,937
So what we found is an area that
could potentially be a chamber.
11
00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:38,105
This is big.
12
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:41,375
This looks like it right here.
13
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:43,148
Hey, Dad, you want to come
check this out?
14
00:00:47,414 --> 00:00:49,816
500 years ago,
the Aztecs possessed
15
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:53,554
one of the greatest treasures
the world has ever seen.
16
00:00:54,922 --> 00:00:56,757
Word of this treasure attracted
the attention
17
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,493
of the Spanish conquistadors,
18
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:02,396
but when they came for the gold,
19
00:01:02,529 --> 00:01:04,064
it was already gone,
20
00:01:04,197 --> 00:01:06,300
hidden by Emperor Montezuma
21
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:11,305
in locations throughout what is
now the American Southwest.
22
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:14,174
Now,
three treasure hunting teams,
23
00:01:14,308 --> 00:01:16,543
all with different approaches,
24
00:01:16,677 --> 00:01:19,279
are closing in
on what they believe
25
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,616
is the location
of the lost Aztec gold.
26
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:25,519
This right here, this is
definitely manmade activity.
27
00:01:25,652 --> 00:01:27,821
The Dillmans are following
a trail
28
00:01:27,955 --> 00:01:30,724
blazed by the research
of their grandfather.
29
00:01:30,857 --> 00:01:34,361
I believe it's my destiny
to find it for the family.
30
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:36,697
The Villescas
are treasure seekers
31
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:39,399
descended from
Spanish conquistadors.
32
00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:41,535
They believe the Spanish found
the gold...
33
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:42,536
All right. Here we go.
34
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:44,004
And melted it into bars
35
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:46,406
hidden throughout
the American Southwest.
36
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:49,142
If anybody's gonna
find it, it's gonna be us.
37
00:01:49,276 --> 00:01:51,044
And finally, Hoagland and Hegg.
38
00:01:51,178 --> 00:01:52,346
Fire in the hole!
39
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:56,683
They believe the treasure
is hidden inside mines
40
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,486
along well known
Aztec trade routes.
41
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:01,455
If anything happens,
be ready to go.
42
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:03,957
Decades of searching.
43
00:02:04,091 --> 00:02:04,958
That's old as hell.
44
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,526
Three different theories.
45
00:02:06,660 --> 00:02:08,362
That's what I do.
I go find stuff.
46
00:02:08,495 --> 00:02:10,964
Which one of these teams
will be proven right...
47
00:02:11,999 --> 00:02:14,434
and be the first to find
48
00:02:14,568 --> 00:02:17,471
the lost gold of the Aztecs?
49
00:02:35,689 --> 00:02:37,233
Clues and evidence
has lead us here.
50
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:39,059
Let's get after it.
51
00:02:39,192 --> 00:02:41,795
Gabriel Villescas
and his father Ramon
52
00:02:41,928 --> 00:02:44,931
are headed back
to the Fire Pits,
53
00:02:45,065 --> 00:02:47,167
this time with extra manpower
and equipment.
54
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:52,472
A discovery made at this site
55
00:02:52,606 --> 00:02:55,008
suggests the Spanish could have
melted gold here.
56
00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:58,154
You know, this is
a really big day for us.
57
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:00,947
You know, finding that crucible
here on this spot
58
00:03:01,081 --> 00:03:02,721
gave me the confidence
to pull the trigger
59
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:05,218
and bring in all this equipment.
60
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:06,853
This is a long time
in the making.
61
00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:09,523
We've spent years searching
for this place.
62
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:11,792
You know, we have a lot
of money invested in this.
63
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:14,365
We're all in. We're just gonna
go on ahead and keep on digging
64
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:16,696
till the last drop of diesel
is burnt.
65
00:03:24,337 --> 00:03:27,240
Come on in, everybody.
Let's gather around.
66
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:30,177
All right, well, first of all,
I'd like to thank all you guys
67
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:31,445
for making it.
68
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:33,578
As you guys know, me and my dad
have been searching
69
00:03:33,613 --> 00:03:35,949
for Spanish treasure
for quite some time,
70
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,351
and all the clues
have lead us right here.
71
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:41,254
We found evidence
of Spanish occupation here,
72
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:44,591
and we think somebody found
a bar of gold here a while back.
73
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,893
The Spanish wouldn't have went
through all this trouble
74
00:03:47,027 --> 00:03:49,229
just to bury one bar.
75
00:03:49,362 --> 00:03:52,666
So all we have to do
is dig and search for it,
76
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:53,943
and that's why you guys
are here.
77
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:56,236
You three gentlemen
will go with Jerome
78
00:03:56,369 --> 00:03:59,139
to Fire Pit number one,
which is directly behind us.
79
00:04:01,775 --> 00:04:04,177
Robert, you will go
to Fire Pit number two,
80
00:04:04,311 --> 00:04:06,746
which is gonna be on
the south side.
81
00:04:09,449 --> 00:04:12,018
And you two gentlemen will be
going to Fire Pit number three,
82
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:13,453
which is on the north side.
83
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:18,258
All right, you guys,
you all know
84
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,259
where you're supposed to be.
85
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,027
Let's have a good safe day.
86
00:04:21,161 --> 00:04:22,638
Let's get out there
and find some gold.
87
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:24,698
- Whoo!
- Let's go.
88
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:26,375
Gabe is working all three pits
89
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:27,567
using different methods
90
00:04:27,701 --> 00:04:30,637
to maximize his chances
of finding gold.
91
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:31,938
Jerome will use the excavator
92
00:04:32,072 --> 00:04:35,142
to break through the dense
layer of rock.
93
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,679
Another two-man crew will be
working with metal detectors...
94
00:04:42,582 --> 00:04:45,719
while Gabe and his father
resume sifting material
95
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:47,521
with the shaker box.
96
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:49,589
I think let's put this
right over here.
97
00:04:49,723 --> 00:04:51,992
This looks like as good a spot
as any. What do you think?
98
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,528
All right.
I'll get down and guide you.
99
00:04:54,661 --> 00:04:56,463
Our ultimate goal here
on this side
100
00:04:56,596 --> 00:04:59,232
is to locate a mass amount
of gold buried somewhere
101
00:04:59,366 --> 00:05:01,246
- within this soil.
- You need to drop it
102
00:05:01,334 --> 00:05:03,503
- a little bit more.
- Good? Okay.
103
00:05:03,637 --> 00:05:05,205
That'll work.
104
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,477
We got everything
invested in this.
105
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:14,581
I just hope that we're sitting
on top of something very huge.
106
00:05:16,449 --> 00:05:19,786
I just got to get this machine
in the pit and get to digging.
107
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:32,432
A little tricky to get
this thing up in this pit.
108
00:05:52,586 --> 00:05:54,754
So what I'm doing
is stretching the boom out
109
00:05:54,888 --> 00:05:56,098
and placing the bucket
on the ground
110
00:05:56,122 --> 00:05:58,024
so I can get this machine
stabilized.
111
00:05:58,158 --> 00:06:01,228
Just got to get it to stop
rocking and gather myself,
112
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:03,463
'cause this is a little bit
scary right now.
113
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:25,986
Oh, yeah.
Got her in there.
114
00:06:28,455 --> 00:06:30,557
Time to get to work now.
115
00:06:46,673 --> 00:06:48,575
- What've you got on your left?
- Oh, not...
116
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,477
- No. No, no, no, no, no.
- Not a lot?
117
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:52,121
Hard right. Hard right.
Hard right. Hard right.
118
00:06:52,145 --> 00:06:55,715
Yeah, we got ugly rock.
119
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:58,685
Miners
Kevin Hoagland and Chris Hegg
120
00:06:58,818 --> 00:07:00,453
are headed back
to an ancient mine
121
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:04,190
along an Aztec trading route.
122
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:08,194
Recently, they discovered
what may be a gravesite
123
00:07:08,328 --> 00:07:10,263
- near the mine.
- Oh.
124
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:12,032
I mean, it's the most
disrespectful way
125
00:07:12,165 --> 00:07:14,801
you could do this.
126
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:18,305
Their search for the treasure
is temporarily on hold
127
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,006
pending an investigation
128
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:22,142
by the Mineral County
sheriff's department.
129
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:25,278
We're on Rattle Snake Mountain
130
00:07:25,412 --> 00:07:26,680
just above the gravesite,
131
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:28,848
waiting on the sheriff's
department to get here.
132
00:07:30,884 --> 00:07:32,986
When they show up,
they're going to treat it
133
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:35,689
as a crime scene no matter what
134
00:07:35,822 --> 00:07:37,624
until they can prove it
otherwise.
135
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:42,028
So that puts us in a spot
of absolute limbo.
136
00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:44,397
We don't know
what's in that gravesite.
137
00:07:44,531 --> 00:07:47,968
It's going to be up to them
138
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:51,237
on whether we go back to work
immediately or not.
139
00:07:51,371 --> 00:07:53,807
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Morning.
140
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,175
Undersheriff Ferguson,
141
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:56,810
- this is Kevin.
- Nice to meet you.
142
00:07:56,943 --> 00:07:58,120
Thank you, gentlemen,
for coming up.
143
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,046
- Not a problem.
- Right down below us
144
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:02,582
is where we think
there's a grave.
145
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:05,185
What's your standard
procedure for this?
146
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:07,654
We're gonna first figure out
if it is a crime scene.
147
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:10,223
Obviously, if it is, the whole
world is going to change.
148
00:08:10,357 --> 00:08:11,400
We're gonna have to contact
149
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:13,126
Nevada Division
of Investigations.
150
00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:15,962
They'll exhume the body
and any evidence around.
151
00:08:16,096 --> 00:08:17,831
We have a lot
of Native American burials
152
00:08:17,964 --> 00:08:20,700
and different things found
in this area.
153
00:08:20,834 --> 00:08:22,869
So once we send it off
to a lab to be tested,
154
00:08:23,002 --> 00:08:24,682
if it comes back
that it's Native American,
155
00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:26,806
then we need to exhume
the rest of the bones up,
156
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:28,608
and then send them over
to the tribe,
157
00:08:28,742 --> 00:08:30,510
and then they'll do
a burial of it.
158
00:08:30,643 --> 00:08:33,380
Normally when we find old bones,
they carbon-date them.
159
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:36,649
The last ones we found
dated back to 1710,
160
00:08:36,783 --> 00:08:38,118
plus or minus 20 years.
161
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:40,353
What we're interested
in finding right now
162
00:08:40,487 --> 00:08:43,356
is just the skull
and probably the lower jaw.
163
00:08:43,490 --> 00:08:45,290
That way they can do
the testing on the teeth,
164
00:08:45,325 --> 00:08:46,926
- the dentures.
- Sure.
165
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:49,896
The general rule when you think
you've encountered a grave...
166
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:52,065
Well, here it is, guys.
167
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:55,235
Just treat it like
it's the worst case scenario,
168
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:57,437
like this could be maybe
a murder scene or something
169
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:58,705
that's been recent.
170
00:08:58,838 --> 00:09:00,673
What do you think?
Just right here below it?
171
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:03,943
So the downside of this,
calling the sheriff,
172
00:09:04,077 --> 00:09:05,612
is we could be shut down.
173
00:09:05,745 --> 00:09:08,248
We could be shut down for
a while, and that concerns us.
174
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,866
What are you guys seeing?
Anything?
175
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:18,925
Nothing right now.
Just a bunch of rocks.
176
00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:21,103
Bigger rocks we're trying
to get pulled out of the way.
177
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:23,830
If it is a body,
it's sad to think
178
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,566
that there's somebody
out in the middle of nowhere
179
00:09:26,699 --> 00:09:29,369
that may have never got a chance
to say their goodbyes.
180
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:34,541
It's somebody, and that somebody
had somebody else somewhere.
181
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:51,558
- Is that a bone?
- Yeah.
182
00:10:06,372 --> 00:10:07,852
So what are you guys seeing?
Anything?
183
00:10:07,974 --> 00:10:10,009
Nothing right now.
Just a bunch of rocks.
184
00:10:10,143 --> 00:10:12,188
Bigger rocks we're trying
to get pulled out of the way.
185
00:10:12,212 --> 00:10:14,114
While investigating
186
00:10:14,247 --> 00:10:16,516
a possible burial site
near the mine,
187
00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:19,018
the Mineral County
sheriff's department...
188
00:10:19,152 --> 00:10:20,653
- Is that a bone?
- Yeah.
189
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:23,156
Makes a disturbing find.
190
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:29,562
You want to take
a photo real quick, L.T.?
191
00:10:31,064 --> 00:10:34,067
- Here.
- Yeah, put 'em in the basket.
192
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:38,738
How about... real quick,
193
00:10:38,872 --> 00:10:41,107
how about we start digging
down deeper, Johnny?
194
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:45,778
We'll get that sifter in case
we got any more bones.
195
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,683
- How many bones have you found?
- Three.
196
00:10:50,817 --> 00:10:53,453
- So far.
- What are you guys thinking?
197
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:56,556
Just from the size of
the bones I'm seeing now,
198
00:10:56,689 --> 00:10:58,825
they kind of indicate
they might be animal.
199
00:10:58,958 --> 00:11:01,394
Definitely looks like
a pelvis from an animal.
200
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:05,198
It's probably from a dog,
a smaller animal like that.
201
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,666
- Yeah.
- Whew.
202
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:09,168
All right. I can relax now.
203
00:11:09,302 --> 00:11:12,505
- You all right?
- Mm-hmm.
204
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:14,641
I'm relieved that
this is just a canine.
205
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:17,010
You know, I can take a breath.
206
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:19,245
It's definitely
not human remains.
207
00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:21,447
I really thank you guys
for coming out.
208
00:11:21,581 --> 00:11:23,182
Good thing is
it's not gonna stop you.
209
00:11:23,316 --> 00:11:25,552
- That's good.
- Yeah, so you're officially
210
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,487
releasing this site
back to us right now.
211
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,956
- It's 100% yours.
- Thank you.
212
00:11:30,089 --> 00:11:31,724
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
213
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:33,002
The entire team from
the sheriff's department
214
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:34,661
was absolutely phenomenal.
215
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:36,763
They came in.
They took charge.
216
00:11:36,896 --> 00:11:40,266
They treated it like
a true investigation,
217
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,267
which it should've been,
218
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:43,570
and it deserved
that type of respect.
219
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:46,406
Well, that was a relief,
honestly.
220
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:49,442
That was. It is.
That is a relief.
221
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:50,944
All right.
222
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:54,380
I'm eager to get back in the
mine, so let's get back to work.
223
00:11:54,514 --> 00:11:55,582
Yeah, we need to.
224
00:12:12,265 --> 00:12:14,834
The Dillman team are
continuing their exploration
225
00:12:14,968 --> 00:12:16,336
of the north side of the canyon,
226
00:12:16,469 --> 00:12:18,671
looking for a tunnel system.
227
00:12:18,805 --> 00:12:20,373
After discovering
a water glyph...
228
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:21,808
You got to be kidding me.
229
00:12:21,941 --> 00:12:25,244
Similar to the one
his grandfather found in 1982,
230
00:12:25,378 --> 00:12:28,915
Dan sent a rock climber
down to investigate.
231
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:31,551
But the footage didn't reveal
any hard evidence
232
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:33,252
of a tunnel or chamber entrance.
233
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:34,520
Let's get out of there, man.
234
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:36,356
- Good morning, Ryan.
- Morning.
235
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:39,559
So the Dillmans have hired
geophysicist Ryan North
236
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,894
to take their search deeper.
237
00:12:42,028 --> 00:12:43,863
Let's go check it out.
238
00:12:45,632 --> 00:12:47,266
Using the ERT technology
239
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,369
enables us
to really cover more ground.
240
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,204
All right,
just right over here, guys.
241
00:12:51,337 --> 00:12:53,039
Excellent.
242
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:54,741
It allows us to scan the canyon
243
00:12:54,874 --> 00:12:57,877
looking for tunnel systems,
caverns, cavities,
244
00:12:58,011 --> 00:12:59,421
things that you can't just
normally do
245
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,080
by walking around looking.
246
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:07,687
All right, so this is the north
end of Cave Lakes Canyon.
247
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:11,391
What I'm hoping for us to try
to prove today, that in fact
248
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:14,694
there are possibly
tunnel systems, caverns,
249
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:19,365
something that ties the south
side to the north side.
250
00:13:19,499 --> 00:13:22,502
We're gonna be using electrical
resistivity tomography.
251
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:25,471
So essentially, we lay out
a long line of metal stakes
252
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,707
that are put into the ground
at an even spacing.
253
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,375
We'll put a current
into the ground.
254
00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:30,843
And we're looking for areas
255
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,979
that are very resistive,
which are voids,
256
00:13:33,112 --> 00:13:36,015
tunnels, caverns,
anything like that.
257
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:40,286
Electrical
resistivity tomography, or ERT,
258
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,122
is the process of directing
an electrical current
259
00:13:43,256 --> 00:13:44,490
into the ground.
260
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:47,660
The electricity can only travel
through solid objects,
261
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:51,497
so any open spaces will show up
on the scans as voids.
262
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:53,800
Dan hopes that the chamber
and tunnels
263
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:56,302
mentioned in
his grandfather's tapes...
264
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:03,142
will show up on these ERT scans,
265
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:06,245
and perhaps even show the way
to get into them.
266
00:14:06,379 --> 00:14:08,057
All right, guys.
I'm gonna set all the stuff out
267
00:14:08,081 --> 00:14:09,716
that we're gonna need
to take down.
268
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,484
Do it.
269
00:14:11,617 --> 00:14:13,886
Four spools of electrode cable.
270
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,255
For me, I definitely feel
271
00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:18,157
like I'm earning my place
on the team.
272
00:14:18,291 --> 00:14:20,469
My dad gets the opportunity
to continue what he's doing,
273
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:22,528
which is out there researching,
which I don't mind.
274
00:14:22,662 --> 00:14:24,697
I really do feel
like I'm earning my keep.
275
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:26,332
Just set everything right here.
276
00:14:26,466 --> 00:14:28,668
Let's go grab a stake
277
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:31,671
and start laying out
the west end of the line.
278
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:33,172
Next step is we need to go
279
00:14:33,306 --> 00:14:37,143
and put an electrode
every four meters,
280
00:14:37,276 --> 00:14:40,012
connect all the electrodes
and the take-outs
281
00:14:40,146 --> 00:14:41,748
to the one next to them.
282
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,349
And not only just him,
283
00:14:43,483 --> 00:14:45,003
but those who came
before him and me...
284
00:14:45,118 --> 00:14:47,987
My uncle Johnny, my uncle Paul,
my great-grandpa.
285
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,161
And if it means me hiking
all throughout this canyon
286
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:52,492
and driving stakes in the
ground, then I'm all for it.
287
00:14:54,927 --> 00:14:57,087
All right, so we're gonna
the contact resistance tests.
288
00:14:57,163 --> 00:14:59,203
So we need to see if we can get
some data collected.
289
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:03,503
Let's fire it up.
290
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:10,710
All right, so there's fairly
high resistance.
291
00:15:10,843 --> 00:15:13,112
If there's any kind of tunnel
or a chamber under here,
292
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,681
the resistivity tomography
survey can find it.
293
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:20,219
As the Dillman team
waits for their ERT results,
294
00:15:20,353 --> 00:15:25,958
the Villescas team continues
their work at the Fire Pits.
295
00:15:26,092 --> 00:15:29,395
Get a little bit more.
296
00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:31,864
We got guys spread out
all over this place.
297
00:15:31,998 --> 00:15:33,966
I got Jerome
in Fire Pit number one,
298
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,500
and he's digging
with the excavator.
299
00:15:35,568 --> 00:15:37,770
All right, guys, I'm gonna start
digging right here,
300
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:40,273
and I'm gonna
put it over there, okay?
301
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:42,575
In Fire Put number three,
I got two other guys
302
00:15:42,708 --> 00:15:43,908
scanning with metal detectors.
303
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:47,947
Pretty strong signal here.
304
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,783
My dad and I are processing
Fire Pit number two.
305
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,024
We believe this is the spot.
306
00:15:58,157 --> 00:15:59,792
We're gonna dig until
the money runs out.
307
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:02,695
All right.
Let's see what we got here.
308
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:13,472
I'm not seeing nothing
too good yet.
309
00:16:13,606 --> 00:16:17,376
I like that it's dry.
It's sifting really easy.
310
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:19,946
- Yeah.
- Look at all these white rocks.
311
00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:23,482
- Look at that. Yeah.
- That looks like pottery.
312
00:16:23,616 --> 00:16:27,453
Almost like a piece of pottery.
313
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:33,793
We got to look at everything.
314
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:38,130
- Oh. Look at this.
- What is that?
315
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:41,634
Can you clean that up?
316
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:46,105
Yeah. Yeah, that's...
317
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:48,207
- That's a piece of iron.
- Let me see it.
318
00:16:51,611 --> 00:16:53,112
Couldn't be a nail.
319
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:54,823
- Has to be some kind of tool...
- Spike?
320
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:58,518
- Or spike or...
- Well, it's pointy.
321
00:16:58,651 --> 00:16:59,862
It's got a slit on the back.
322
00:16:59,886 --> 00:17:02,188
Well, it's not a nail, then.
323
00:17:02,321 --> 00:17:03,932
This large piece of wrought-iron
that we just found,
324
00:17:03,956 --> 00:17:06,292
to me it looks
like it's hand-forged,
325
00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:07,293
because it's got a crack
and it's starting
326
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:08,995
to split open on the side.
327
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:10,939
- It's got some kind of...
- Design, huh?
328
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:14,000
A fancy little design.
Look at that.
329
00:17:14,133 --> 00:17:15,668
The metal's, like,
shaped square.
330
00:17:15,801 --> 00:17:20,039
What about the back of it?
331
00:17:20,172 --> 00:17:22,475
I mean, it's some type of a,
332
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:24,143
- like...
- Like a spear?
333
00:17:24,277 --> 00:17:27,346
- Yeah, like a spear, exactly.
- Huh.
334
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,883
It would've had
a long pole, huh?
335
00:17:31,017 --> 00:17:34,820
Yeah, you know
what this looks like?
336
00:17:34,954 --> 00:17:37,356
- Kind of looks like a pike.
- Huh.
337
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:38,824
If I didn't know any better,
338
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:41,260
I would say that's exactly
what that is.
339
00:17:41,394 --> 00:17:44,130
Spanish conquistadors
attached pikes at the end
340
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:47,433
of long wooden shafts
for use in battle.
341
00:17:47,566 --> 00:17:49,602
They were sometimes used
to hold off attackers
342
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:51,604
while shooters prepared
their weapons.
343
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:54,607
This technique made the pike
a devastating weapon
344
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,208
in the conquest of the Aztec.
345
00:17:56,342 --> 00:17:59,278
- It was made to kill.
- Oh, that's a weapon for sure.
346
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,680
I mean, it's not super sharp,
347
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:02,291
but, I mean, it could've been
damaged, you know?
348
00:18:02,315 --> 00:18:05,384
It's been buried for many moons.
349
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:07,620
We're gonna continue
looking in this area.
350
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:08,621
You know, we might find
something else.
351
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:09,754
All right.
352
00:18:23,469 --> 00:18:25,938
- So I got the GPR.
- Yup.
353
00:18:26,072 --> 00:18:27,907
You'll radar the tunnel?
354
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,152
With the sheriff's
department clearing the way
355
00:18:30,176 --> 00:18:32,278
for work to continue
on the mine,
356
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:35,548
Kevin and Chris are preparing
to explore the pit
357
00:18:35,681 --> 00:18:37,116
that may have been created
358
00:18:37,249 --> 00:18:42,154
by local treasure hunter
Roy Ladd.
359
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:44,323
I'll grab the radar.
360
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:46,177
They're bringing in
ground-penetrating radar
361
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:50,162
to try to find out what
Roy may have been looking for.
362
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:52,331
If Roy was up here,
we'd both agree,
363
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:54,867
that pit is the key.
He was there for a reason.
364
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:57,570
- Come on, baby.
- All right.
365
00:18:57,703 --> 00:19:00,048
He was onto something, and I
think he was really close to it.
366
00:19:00,072 --> 00:19:01,974
That's a little slippery.
367
00:19:02,108 --> 00:19:04,677
Well, we're gonna use what Roy
couldn't use back in the day,
368
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:06,145
ground-penetrating radar.
369
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:08,681
So we can actually push
a signal into the ground,
370
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:10,216
and if there's anything
in there,
371
00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:12,685
we're gonna be able to see it,
like Superman vision.
372
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:13,996
We're gonna actually look
into the rock.
373
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:15,087
Got it.
374
00:19:15,221 --> 00:19:16,941
We might actually find
something down there.
375
00:19:20,626 --> 00:19:23,429
With all of the headframe
and all of the wood going down,
376
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:26,065
I really believe that there's
a lot more information there
377
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:28,234
than what we've even seen.
378
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:30,836
But it could be nothing more
than just a pit.
379
00:19:30,970 --> 00:19:32,471
All right, I'm ready.
380
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:34,340
Getting down there
and running the GPR,
381
00:19:34,473 --> 00:19:37,243
it's just another thing
that you check off,
382
00:19:37,376 --> 00:19:39,345
because if we walked away
from it right now
383
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:41,180
neither one of us would feel
good about it.
384
00:19:45,851 --> 00:19:48,721
Hey. Easy, slow.
385
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:51,090
Listen and look at everything
on your way down.
386
00:19:51,223 --> 00:19:54,293
If anything gets sketchy,
if anything gets weird,
387
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:56,629
if I don't like it,
I'm pulling you out.
388
00:19:56,762 --> 00:19:57,863
All right.
389
00:19:57,997 --> 00:20:00,466
I know you want
to get down there,
390
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,368
and I know you want to see
what's going on,
391
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,570
but it ain't worth it.
392
00:20:08,374 --> 00:20:10,676
All right, on rope.
393
00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:13,245
Okay, slack.
394
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:18,150
Oh! That was fast.
395
00:20:18,284 --> 00:20:20,052
- Are you all right?
- Yup. I'm good.
396
00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:22,455
- Okay.
- Little slack. Yup.
397
00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:24,423
You're on rope.
398
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:25,958
More slack.
399
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:43,843
- Everything all right?
- We're almost at the bottom.
400
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:55,554
Okay, I got my feet on
the bottom. You can slack me.
401
00:20:55,688 --> 00:20:58,657
Before you go off line,
give me some air readings.
402
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:02,528
- I'm still at 20.9.
- Copy that.
403
00:21:05,431 --> 00:21:09,502
- I want to fire up this GPR.
- Copy that.
404
00:21:13,739 --> 00:21:16,542
Okay, Kevin,
I got this thing fired up.
405
00:21:16,675 --> 00:21:17,543
Ready to go.
406
00:21:17,676 --> 00:21:19,345
You're on it.
407
00:21:26,285 --> 00:21:28,354
Back there.
408
00:21:30,156 --> 00:21:33,192
By moving the GPR unit
along the edge of the pit,
409
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:36,028
Chris will be able to detect
if there are any gaps
410
00:21:36,162 --> 00:21:38,130
or openings behind the walls.
411
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:52,778
Oh.
412
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:15,134
All right, Kevin.
I'm about ready. How about you?
413
00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:17,436
I'm good. Let me know,
and I'll pull up slack.
414
00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:19,405
Man, this place
is really sketchy.
415
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,462
Okay.
416
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:50,903
- Whew. This thing's a bear.
- Yeah, I can imagine.
417
00:22:53,472 --> 00:22:55,341
Good to have you back, brother.
418
00:22:55,474 --> 00:22:56,675
Good to be back.
419
00:22:56,809 --> 00:22:58,649
Hopefully, we can see something
off the footage
420
00:22:58,777 --> 00:23:00,412
and get a better idea.
421
00:23:00,546 --> 00:23:01,946
If there's anything in there,
422
00:23:01,981 --> 00:23:03,682
especially
a cavity or something,
423
00:23:03,816 --> 00:23:07,253
it's going to reflect that
back to the machine,
424
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:08,954
and we think there's more
to this story.
425
00:23:09,088 --> 00:23:11,190
Let's get out of here.
426
00:23:22,101 --> 00:23:23,969
So we went out and surveyed
427
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:27,439
several approximately
300-meter long sections
428
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:29,441
of the north side of the canyon.
429
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:31,453
In one of them, I think
we saw something interesting.
430
00:23:31,477 --> 00:23:32,778
So let me pull that up.
431
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:35,648
The Dillmans
are getting the results
432
00:23:35,781 --> 00:23:38,851
of the ERT scan from around
the area of the water glyph.
433
00:23:38,984 --> 00:23:42,054
So what we have here
in this one section,
434
00:23:42,187 --> 00:23:43,587
this is the distance
along the line.
435
00:23:43,656 --> 00:23:46,659
This is our depth.
Down here is our resistivity.
436
00:23:46,792 --> 00:23:49,862
What we see is it's really high
across the whole site.
437
00:23:49,995 --> 00:23:52,731
But right here is an area
of interest.
438
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,301
Fairy large target
in the center here,
439
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:59,338
and a few smaller ones
off to the east there.
440
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:01,874
It's fairly interesting
based on what you've told me
441
00:24:02,007 --> 00:24:04,677
you're looking for
in the area we're looking.
442
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:06,912
Are you able to see how big
it is from here roughly?
443
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:08,647
We can make approximates.
444
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:11,216
It looks like it's somewhere
around 30 meters,
445
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:14,019
about 100 feet deep.
446
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:15,988
And it could be somewhere
on the order
447
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:19,892
of 30 to 40 feet in diameter.
448
00:24:20,025 --> 00:24:21,336
- That's amazing.
- I mean,
449
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,562
just looking at that...
That just...
450
00:24:23,696 --> 00:24:27,499
It screams to me
cavern or chamber.
451
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,968
That may be the chamber
that we're looking for,
452
00:24:30,102 --> 00:24:33,605
and these other anomalies may be
the tunneling to get there.
453
00:24:33,739 --> 00:24:36,475
And we just won't know until
we're boots on the ground
454
00:24:36,608 --> 00:24:38,811
and we start putting some
shovels in the earth.
455
00:24:38,944 --> 00:24:41,613
Hearing Ryan say that
we've got a massive chamber,
456
00:24:41,747 --> 00:24:44,283
to me is ground-breaking
in our research.
457
00:24:44,416 --> 00:24:47,086
Because my grandfather told us
to specifically
458
00:24:47,219 --> 00:24:48,754
find this chamber.
459
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:58,797
And now we believe we got it.
460
00:24:58,931 --> 00:25:01,133
So if this is the chamber,
461
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:03,502
what could these two voids be?
462
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:05,337
I mean, yeah, 'cause to me
looking at this,
463
00:25:05,471 --> 00:25:06,672
they're lined up.
464
00:25:06,805 --> 00:25:08,483
It looks like it's almost
in a straight line
465
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:09,718
leading straight to the cavern,
466
00:25:09,742 --> 00:25:12,444
so that could potentially
be a tunnel system.
467
00:25:12,578 --> 00:25:13,888
- It could be the entrance.
- Yeah.
468
00:25:13,912 --> 00:25:16,882
So how far from the top
do you think it would be
469
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:18,296
if we were to try to drill down?
470
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:20,552
It's gonna be at least
somewhere around 30 meters,
471
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:23,589
around 100 feet,
and it's almost inaccessible
472
00:25:23,722 --> 00:25:25,791
for drilling in that area.
473
00:25:25,924 --> 00:25:28,594
But I think we're fairly close
to the cliff face,
474
00:25:28,727 --> 00:25:32,664
so it might be a shorter path
to go in from the vertical wall.
475
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:34,967
The next step is getting
into this chamber.
476
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:38,137
We've got to move
a lot of earth and rock,
477
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:39,638
but we've got to get in there.
478
00:25:39,772 --> 00:25:43,442
This right here,
this may be everything
479
00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:45,778
that we've been looking for
at this location.
480
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:00,325
More?
481
00:26:00,459 --> 00:26:01,960
Get a little bit more.
482
00:26:02,094 --> 00:26:04,430
The Villescas team
are continuing
483
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,832
their accelerated search
of the Fire Pits.
484
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:11,170
While Jerome is working the
excavator in Fire Pit one...
485
00:26:11,303 --> 00:26:13,806
Hey, guys! I need you guys.
Look at this stuff right here.
486
00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:17,042
And I'll be... I'll spin back
around in a few minutes.
487
00:26:17,176 --> 00:26:19,578
And workers metal detect
Fire Pit three...
488
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:21,780
He's getting a pretty
strong signal here.
489
00:26:21,914 --> 00:26:25,084
Gabriel and his father
are searching Fire Pit two
490
00:26:25,217 --> 00:26:27,586
in hopes of finding
Spanish gold bars.
491
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:32,791
So, Dad, I'm gonna grab
this pile and start building,
492
00:26:32,925 --> 00:26:34,626
like, a little wall
so I can back-drag it.
493
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,628
I'll guide you.
494
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:38,931
My Dad and I
are in Fire Pit number two,
495
00:26:39,064 --> 00:26:41,066
and we're gonna run dirt
from all different areas,
496
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,440
all different sides of the pit.
497
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:44,570
So what I'm doing is
I'm taking the loader
498
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:46,138
and I'm back-dragging
the material
499
00:26:46,271 --> 00:26:49,074
about six to eight inches deep.
500
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:50,318
That way we can run
the metal detectors
501
00:26:50,342 --> 00:26:52,022
and make sure we don't miss
a single thing.
502
00:26:59,551 --> 00:27:02,020
I'm looking for those nice
solid, solid tones.
503
00:27:10,896 --> 00:27:13,966
I got a little hit.
504
00:27:14,099 --> 00:27:16,335
Something there, huh?
505
00:27:22,541 --> 00:27:24,977
Shovel through there.
506
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:32,451
Wait.
507
00:27:32,584 --> 00:27:34,386
There's something here.
508
00:27:40,225 --> 00:27:41,627
Oh, yeah. Look at that.
509
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,195
It's, uh...
510
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:44,963
Well, I don't know what it is.
511
00:27:48,867 --> 00:27:53,038
I don't know, but it's got
a nice... a nice rounded edge.
512
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:55,207
Copper or bronze.
513
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:58,377
I mean, look at
the patina on it. It's...
514
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:02,714
Take that off very carefully.
I don't want to destroy it.
515
00:28:02,848 --> 00:28:06,084
Like a pin, huh?
Look at that.
516
00:28:06,218 --> 00:28:08,587
Oh.
I think you might be right.
517
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,190
It might be a pin of some sort.
518
00:28:11,323 --> 00:28:14,760
Maybe like a pin, like it goes,
519
00:28:14,893 --> 00:28:16,261
like, right in there
kind of thing?
520
00:28:16,395 --> 00:28:17,930
- Mm-hmm.
- Or a badge?
521
00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:19,741
- It could be a badge.
- Maybe a badge.
522
00:28:19,765 --> 00:28:24,770
- Who'd wear a badge like that?
- Maybe a lesser officer.
523
00:28:24,903 --> 00:28:26,948
I don't know if it's Spanish.
I don't know what it is.
524
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:30,275
I have no idea,
but definitely not gold.
525
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:31,743
Nope.
526
00:28:31,877 --> 00:28:33,688
You know, this
is a really interesting find.
527
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,914
You know, I don't know exactly
what it is.
528
00:28:36,048 --> 00:28:38,083
It's definitely a piece
of something larger.
529
00:28:38,216 --> 00:28:41,787
It's probably brass or copper
because it's tarnished green,
530
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,956
and that's indicative
of that type of material
531
00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:45,557
as it gets old and aged.
532
00:28:45,691 --> 00:28:47,659
But it's fascinating
and it's a great find.
533
00:28:47,793 --> 00:28:50,562
Same area, but we missed this
in the table.
534
00:28:50,696 --> 00:28:53,498
I think we should double check
this again.
535
00:28:53,632 --> 00:28:55,100
I mean, if we missed this,
536
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:57,069
- we need to keep on going.
- Scan it again?
537
00:28:57,202 --> 00:29:00,706
Let's keep on going on it.
538
00:29:07,746 --> 00:29:09,281
Man, I can't wait to look
at this data.
539
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:11,226
You want to tell me
what you're all excited about?
540
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:12,951
Wait and see.
541
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:15,387
Kevin and Chris have
just completed a GPR scan
542
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,790
of the section of the mine
known as the Pit.
543
00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:20,125
I think I've seen something.
544
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:22,298
Dude, you're awfully excited.
I mean, you're moving.
545
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:23,495
Yeah.
546
00:29:23,629 --> 00:29:25,197
They're hoping
this will shed some light
547
00:29:25,330 --> 00:29:28,133
on what local
treasure hunter Roy Ladd
548
00:29:28,266 --> 00:29:31,603
might've been looking for
so deep into the mountain.
549
00:29:31,737 --> 00:29:34,072
Okay. Look at that.
550
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:38,043
There's the face
we were against.
551
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:42,314
- Holy...
- Two feet in.
552
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:45,050
Remember, we're looking from
this side from the top down.
553
00:29:45,217 --> 00:29:47,152
So we're looking into
the cavity on the bottom.
554
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:50,355
We're looking two feet in.
There's a cavity in there.
555
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:52,791
I don't know
if it's natural or manmade,
556
00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:53,792
but it's big enough.
557
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:56,261
I think we can get in there.
558
00:29:56,395 --> 00:29:58,130
There's a cavity back there.
Two feet.
559
00:29:58,263 --> 00:29:59,464
Roy was two feet from it.
560
00:29:59,598 --> 00:30:01,300
That's spooky.
561
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:04,136
Either Roy knew it was there
or he had no idea.
562
00:30:04,269 --> 00:30:09,408
If it's a no, then he may be
just be lucking into it.
563
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:11,677
You know what?
I think Roy had a hunch
564
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,079
and he worked on that pit
till the day he died.
565
00:30:14,212 --> 00:30:16,214
I think he just ran out of time.
566
00:30:16,348 --> 00:30:17,588
We got to go through that wall.
567
00:30:17,616 --> 00:30:20,652
That can sit there for
the rest of our lives
568
00:30:20,786 --> 00:30:22,186
if it means bringing
that roof down.
569
00:30:22,287 --> 00:30:23,655
That's not gonna happen.
570
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:25,357
Finding it is one thing.
571
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:28,060
Getting to it is gonna be
a whole other challenge.
572
00:30:28,193 --> 00:30:30,162
And this is a shaky area.
573
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:33,332
We're gonna have to sit down
and really give a lot of thought
574
00:30:33,465 --> 00:30:35,667
on how we're going
to get from here
575
00:30:35,801 --> 00:30:37,636
through that two feet of wall.
576
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:39,838
We've got to figure out
a way to do it safely,
577
00:30:39,971 --> 00:30:42,841
to where neither one of us
end up dead.
578
00:30:45,043 --> 00:30:46,654
I don't want to collapse it
down on top of us.
579
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:48,758
I don't want to collapse it down
to where we lose it.
580
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,916
We've got to really think
this one through.
581
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:53,618
This is going to be
the biggest challenge
582
00:30:53,752 --> 00:30:55,787
that we've had to date.
583
00:30:55,921 --> 00:30:57,065
'Cause now we got to bring down
584
00:30:57,089 --> 00:30:59,391
an underground wall
in a bad spot.
585
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:15,440
The Dillman team
is headed to an area
586
00:31:15,574 --> 00:31:17,509
where their ERT scan
indicated the location
587
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:19,244
of a possible chamber.
588
00:31:19,378 --> 00:31:23,215
With the chamber being at least
95 feet below the ridgeline,
589
00:31:23,348 --> 00:31:25,951
Dan is trying to see
if there is an entrance
590
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:27,084
through the canyon wall.
591
00:31:27,185 --> 00:31:28,687
Derrick, you got that GPS?
592
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:32,257
Yup, I got it here.
Hold on.
593
00:31:32,390 --> 00:31:35,394
What this is saying,
we probably got about,
594
00:31:35,527 --> 00:31:36,962
say, 40 yards up ahead.
595
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:40,832
The discovery of this chamber
from this ERT data
596
00:31:40,966 --> 00:31:42,234
has got my excited.
597
00:31:42,367 --> 00:31:45,103
- Hold on, guys.
- Because my grandfather
598
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:48,406
constantly spoke about
a chamber that held treasure.
599
00:31:48,540 --> 00:31:50,408
This looks so cool.
600
00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:53,612
Could this be the chamber
601
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:55,213
that he was speaking about?
602
00:31:55,347 --> 00:31:58,150
All right, guys,
so based on this GPS here,
603
00:31:58,283 --> 00:32:00,161
we're standing right in front
of where this cavern is
604
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:01,420
based on the ERT readings.
605
00:32:01,553 --> 00:32:02,888
Right,
that's what Ryan was saying
606
00:32:03,021 --> 00:32:04,298
when he was showing us the data.
607
00:32:04,322 --> 00:32:05,600
- Yeah.
- That we've got to get back
608
00:32:05,624 --> 00:32:06,725
about 10 to 12 feet.
609
00:32:06,858 --> 00:32:09,861
You got Shadow Cave right there
in that direction.
610
00:32:09,995 --> 00:32:11,863
You got Weeping Cave.
611
00:32:11,997 --> 00:32:13,532
And then the marsh
is right there
612
00:32:13,665 --> 00:32:17,369
smack in the middle,
so this is really centralized
613
00:32:17,502 --> 00:32:19,838
amongst everything
we've already uncovered so far.
614
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:21,173
- Right.
- And this is the one
615
00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:23,508
- that's not a clear opening.
- It make sense.
616
00:32:23,642 --> 00:32:25,042
They wouldn't leave
the true opening
617
00:32:25,143 --> 00:32:26,583
just for anybody
to walk by and find.
618
00:32:26,611 --> 00:32:29,114
Getting yourself
in the mindset of Aztecs,
619
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:30,424
if they have something to hide,
620
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:31,926
they're not gonna leave
a clear opening.
621
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:33,885
They're gonna cover it.
622
00:32:34,019 --> 00:32:36,288
We need to get closer
to that and take a look at it.
623
00:32:36,421 --> 00:32:38,356
I'm gonna look here
a little bit,
624
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:40,210
but, Gina, why don't you go off
to the left?
625
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:46,932
We almost have
a little indent over here.
626
00:32:47,999 --> 00:32:50,068
- No?
- Yeah.
627
00:32:52,604 --> 00:32:54,415
Right, well, follow that.
Right here. You see that?
628
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:56,775
- Yeah, we do.
- Let me see.
629
00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:59,611
Let's dig this out a little bit.
630
00:32:59,744 --> 00:33:02,047
If we can just pull
a little bit...
631
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:05,517
- Skim the top.
- Of the dirt off of here.
632
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:07,061
- Grab a flashlight.
- All right.
633
00:33:07,085 --> 00:33:08,095
You want a shovel, too,
or just flashlight?
634
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:09,621
Grab a shovel as well, please.
635
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,160
Here. Dig a little bit
of that out.
636
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:16,895
Careful.
637
00:33:19,097 --> 00:33:20,899
Holy.
638
00:33:21,032 --> 00:33:25,103
- It almost looks like a...
- Hand me the flashlight?
639
00:33:27,973 --> 00:33:29,107
Dude, come look at this.
640
00:33:31,476 --> 00:33:33,778
That goes back pretty far.
641
00:33:36,147 --> 00:33:37,816
We got to get in here, man.
642
00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:43,488
This looks like
it's a massive chamber.
643
00:33:43,622 --> 00:33:46,825
A massive chamber. But there's
way too much dirt, man.
644
00:33:46,958 --> 00:33:48,660
We're not gonna be able
to do this by hand.
645
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:50,771
From what Ryan was
saying, 10 to 12 feet back,
646
00:33:50,795 --> 00:33:52,195
you gotta to figure
it's all packed.
647
00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:07,812
Hopefully we got enough light
648
00:34:07,946 --> 00:34:09,481
and we got enough generator.
649
00:34:09,614 --> 00:34:10,791
I think we got everything.
650
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:13,952
After their GPR scan revealed
651
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:16,688
that the Pit may lead
to a tunnel,
652
00:34:16,821 --> 00:34:21,626
Kevin and Chris have returned
with a plan.
653
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,862
This thing down here
where it's...
654
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,498
We're gonna go down.
I'm gonna drill four holes.
655
00:34:26,631 --> 00:34:28,509
Load the holes. We're gonna
hook the charges up,
656
00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:30,544
and hopefully blow down that
wall and see what's back there.
657
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:33,338
I'll be tethered up. Just
in case anything goes wrong,
658
00:34:33,471 --> 00:34:36,007
I'm gonna pull as fast as I can,
get out of there.
659
00:34:36,141 --> 00:34:37,451
It's kind of unnerving
to get down there
660
00:34:37,475 --> 00:34:38,610
and drill this thing,
661
00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,745
but we're just gonna take it
inch by inch
662
00:34:40,879 --> 00:34:41,913
and get it done.
663
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:45,984
Well, here goes nothing.
664
00:34:49,287 --> 00:34:51,489
Due to the fragile
nature of the mine,
665
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:54,626
Kevin and Chris settled on
a low impact explosive system
666
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,661
called SierraBlasters.
667
00:34:56,795 --> 00:34:59,030
They will first drill the rock
668
00:34:59,164 --> 00:35:01,333
and place blast rods
into the holes.
669
00:35:01,466 --> 00:35:02,968
The small charges
are coordinated
670
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:04,636
to fracture the rock face,
671
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:06,972
causing less shock
to the surrounding tunnel
672
00:35:07,105 --> 00:35:09,074
than a traditional explosive
would do.
673
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,281
You ready?
674
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:19,550
Ready.
675
00:35:19,584 --> 00:35:23,121
- Radio check?
- Check.
676
00:35:24,322 --> 00:35:27,292
- All right, man. I got you.
- Okay.
677
00:35:27,425 --> 00:35:32,030
Hey, anything looks sketchy,
if you're not comfortable,
678
00:35:32,163 --> 00:35:34,199
drop the drill,
drop everything, get out.
679
00:35:34,332 --> 00:35:35,567
- I got you up here.
- Okay.
680
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:36,935
All right.
681
00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:40,538
All right.
682
00:35:54,185 --> 00:35:55,587
Anything looks sketchy,
683
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,555
drop the drill,
drop everything, get out.
684
00:35:57,689 --> 00:36:00,392
Chris is rappelling
down into the Pit
685
00:36:00,525 --> 00:36:02,260
to set a series of explosives
686
00:36:02,394 --> 00:36:05,797
in order to gain access
to a possible tunnel.
687
00:36:05,930 --> 00:36:07,842
I just got to watch
this drill on the way down.
688
00:36:07,866 --> 00:36:10,635
Yeah.
Please be careful of the drill.
689
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:16,984
I've got a couple
of concerns about this.
690
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:18,476
One is he's using
a hammer drill,
691
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:20,145
which not only is it spinning,
692
00:36:20,278 --> 00:36:23,148
it's also percussive
going into the rock.
693
00:36:23,281 --> 00:36:25,059
So my biggest concern is that
he's gonna start
694
00:36:25,083 --> 00:36:27,185
bringing material down
on top of him.
695
00:36:27,318 --> 00:36:29,421
Chris and I are gonna be
in a constant communication.
696
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:32,557
He's gonna have to talk to me.
I'm not letting him off line.
697
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:36,194
The moment that drill starts,
everything is in my hands
698
00:36:36,327 --> 00:36:38,129
to make sure that
he comes out of there.
699
00:36:38,263 --> 00:36:40,965
All right, slow.
It gets really steep here.
700
00:36:41,099 --> 00:36:43,001
Watch your head.
701
00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:45,737
You got the last overhang
before you drop.
702
00:36:46,771 --> 00:36:48,006
Okay. Right there.
703
00:36:48,139 --> 00:36:49,441
I'm almost at the bottom.
704
00:36:49,574 --> 00:36:52,177
I'm about 80 feet down.
Let me check the oxygen.
705
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:55,814
Okay. 20.9.
706
00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:58,850
Okay, slow.
This is where it gets steep.
707
00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:00,585
I got you.
708
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:07,225
- Okay, I'm on the bottom.
- Copy that.
709
00:37:07,358 --> 00:37:09,894
All right, Chris,
you're not coming off line.
710
00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:12,230
I just don't trust
the sketchiness of these walls
711
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:13,698
when you start to drill on it.
712
00:37:13,832 --> 00:37:15,276
You're gonna
have to give me enough slack,
713
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:17,635
and you're gonna have to pull
that slack if we need to go.
714
00:37:17,769 --> 00:37:18,970
Copy that.
715
00:37:19,104 --> 00:37:21,506
Okay, go ahead
and give me some slack.
716
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:24,209
100 feet is a long way
to be down for a decline
717
00:37:24,342 --> 00:37:26,478
that you can't get up
by yourself very easy.
718
00:37:26,611 --> 00:37:29,848
If anything happens down there,
it's all on Kevin,
719
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:31,392
and he can only go a couple
feet at a time
720
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:33,251
to shimmy me up.
721
00:37:33,384 --> 00:37:37,122
That's my biggest fear is how
fast I can get up this thing.
722
00:37:43,628 --> 00:37:45,530
I've got you
five by five on the walkie.
723
00:37:45,663 --> 00:37:47,665
I just can't hear anything
else down there.
724
00:37:47,799 --> 00:37:51,936
Okay, I'm ready to plug in
and try this out.
725
00:37:52,070 --> 00:37:53,280
Okay, let me know
when you start to drill.
726
00:37:53,304 --> 00:37:56,007
I just want to keep
an eye on the walls
727
00:37:56,141 --> 00:37:57,475
and ceilings I can see.
728
00:37:59,911 --> 00:38:02,680
Okay, Kevin, I'm ready
to make the first hole.
729
00:38:02,814 --> 00:38:04,849
Copy that. Go easy. Go slow.
730
00:38:04,983 --> 00:38:07,018
Keep an eye on your overhead.
731
00:38:07,152 --> 00:38:10,054
So I'm drilling holes
in this so I can actually
732
00:38:10,188 --> 00:38:12,223
put the Sierra charges in there
at the right spot.
733
00:38:12,357 --> 00:38:13,901
The worst thing
with this drilling process,
734
00:38:13,925 --> 00:38:16,094
of course, is bringing
a rock down on our head.
735
00:38:16,227 --> 00:38:18,496
Okay, here we go.
736
00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:36,614
So far. I don't have
any dust coming up,
737
00:38:36,748 --> 00:38:39,050
and I don't see anything
rocking out of the ceiling.
738
00:38:51,162 --> 00:38:52,363
Copy.
739
00:39:02,874 --> 00:39:05,310
Copy that. Kev, be careful.
740
00:39:17,021 --> 00:39:18,489
Take a breath.
741
00:39:33,471 --> 00:39:36,307
Didn't punch through?
Did it seem a little shaky?
742
00:40:16,481 --> 00:40:17,715
Get out. Get up.
743
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:29,961
Next on
"Lost Gold of the Aztecs"...
744
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:31,596
You gotta see this, Dad.
745
00:40:31,729 --> 00:40:33,531
We're gonna get
the drill rig in here
746
00:40:33,665 --> 00:40:34,766
and see what we can find.
747
00:40:34,899 --> 00:40:36,868
If we find a tunnel system,
748
00:40:37,001 --> 00:40:38,703
to me that says
the Aztecs were here.
749
00:40:38,836 --> 00:40:39,914
Does it mean
the treasure is here?
750
00:40:39,938 --> 00:40:42,740
I hope to God it does.
751
00:40:42,874 --> 00:40:45,043
Hey, uh, looks like
we have something here.
752
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:46,444
Come on!
753
00:40:46,577 --> 00:40:48,489
We've just got
poisonous gas that came up.
754
00:40:48,513 --> 00:40:50,148
You all right?
755
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:51,558
That's not gonna be where I die.
756
00:40:51,582 --> 00:40:52,960
So we're gonna have to
build something
757
00:40:52,984 --> 00:40:53,851
to get the air cleaned out.
758
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,520
It doesn't have to be pretty.
759
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:57,655
All it has to do is work.
760
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,191
- What you guys got there?
- Check this out.
761
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:02,427
This stuff looks like
it was just stacked in there.
762
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,800
I'm hoping to find
that this is a Spanish vault.
763
00:41:04,829 --> 00:41:06,764
This is really what
we're out here looking for.
764
00:41:06,898 --> 00:41:08,666
- Ready?
- Yeah, real slow. Real slow.
765
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,735
Oh! Whoa, whoa!
766
00:41:10,868 --> 00:41:12,637
Hey, take a look at this!
767
00:41:12,661 --> 00:41:14,661
