Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,068 --> 00:00:16,724
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, boss.
2
00:00:16,758 --> 00:00:19,103
-Ready to move this stuff?
-Let's do it.
3
00:00:19,137 --> 00:00:22,310
All right.
Well, I'll pull the pump up
and I'm gonna set it up here.
4
00:00:22,344 --> 00:00:24,172
And then, probably,
have you jump in the loader.
5
00:00:24,206 --> 00:00:26,586
- Sounds good.
-And I'll get tied
to the bucket.
6
00:00:26,620 --> 00:00:28,724
I'm gonna just have you run
it down there all the way
with a loader.
7
00:00:28,758 --> 00:00:29,931
Oh, yeah.
8
00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:31,310
And then, after that,
we'll just get
the generator.
9
00:00:31,862 --> 00:00:33,275
Sweet.
10
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:34,413
And if we all work together,
it should go pretty
smooth.
11
00:00:34,448 --> 00:00:35,344
Okay.
12
00:00:35,379 --> 00:00:36,310
-We ready?
- Yep.
13
00:00:36,344 --> 00:00:37,482
All right, I'll move this.
14
00:00:38,689 --> 00:00:41,448
Forty-two-year-old
Rick Ness
15
00:00:41,482 --> 00:00:43,655
is a man with a plan,
16
00:00:43,689 --> 00:00:48,379
determined to bring in
1,000 ounces of gold he needs
17
00:00:48,413 --> 00:00:50,620
to stay in the game.
18
00:00:50,655 --> 00:00:53,379
I do have
a lot on the table this year.
19
00:00:53,413 --> 00:00:57,103
Right now, I'm trying to build
my business back up after
taking a year off.
20
00:00:57,137 --> 00:00:59,275
One way or another,
I'm gonna
make it work.
21
00:01:01,344 --> 00:01:05,448
For two months,
Rick has sluiced
stockpile paydirt,
22
00:01:05,482 --> 00:01:08,172
banking 140 ounces.
23
00:01:08,206 --> 00:01:09,586
Now that it's gone,
24
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:13,034
he's making a quick move
to get back on the gold.
25
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,275
It is a big day, you know,
we're finished running
the stockpile,
26
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:20,689
we finished running
Monster Red for a while.
27
00:01:20,724 --> 00:01:22,655
We're moving upstream
to where Rocky's set up,
28
00:01:22,689 --> 00:01:24,965
you know, we're doing
a 500-yard test on
the Bacon Strip.
29
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,482
Uh, the ground seems
good enough to mine,
30
00:01:26,517 --> 00:01:28,448
so we're on our way down there
to mine it.
31
00:01:30,137 --> 00:01:32,931
Rick's first major
decision of this season
32
00:01:32,965 --> 00:01:36,586
is to pivot
to the 1.4 acre Bacon Strip,
33
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:38,448
where last week's test run
34
00:01:38,482 --> 00:01:41,000
yielded almost an ounce
per 100 yards,
35
00:01:42,965 --> 00:01:44,793
sweetening the pot.
36
00:01:44,827 --> 00:01:47,758
The cut was stripped down
to pay two years ago
37
00:01:48,378 --> 00:01:50,033
and is ready to sluice.
38
00:01:51,655 --> 00:01:55,413
Rick's hoping it will deliver
a quick 300-ounce score
39
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:57,310
and keep his comeback dream...
40
00:01:57,862 --> 00:01:58,862
alive.
41
00:02:01,206 --> 00:02:03,344
Told the guys, I said,
I only want to be down one day
42
00:02:03,379 --> 00:02:05,310
'cause we got
a 1,000-ounces to hit.
43
00:02:05,344 --> 00:02:07,000
And we've got a small crew.
44
00:02:07,034 --> 00:02:10,000
You know, minimal equipment,
I can't afford anything
to break on this move.
45
00:02:11,827 --> 00:02:14,275
Working on
the slimmest of margins,
46
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:17,896
Rick can't even
afford to truck the pay
to his main plant,
47
00:02:17,931 --> 00:02:19,586
Monster Red.
48
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:24,827
So, he's moving
his entire operation
to his old wash plant, Rocky.
49
00:02:24,862 --> 00:02:27,137
This is a lot to do.
We need to get pump
down there.
50
00:02:27,172 --> 00:02:29,310
We need to get the generator
down there.
51
00:02:29,344 --> 00:02:31,517
Get all my people,
all my machines down there.
52
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:33,241
And we need to get
set up quick
53
00:02:33,275 --> 00:02:35,103
'cause I don't wanna lose
more than a day of sluicing.
54
00:02:37,517 --> 00:02:41,000
The pump is gonna
power little Rocky and uh,
55
00:02:41,034 --> 00:02:42,689
we're gonna start mining
up there,
56
00:02:42,724 --> 00:02:44,310
hopefully, starting
this afternoon.
57
00:02:45,137 --> 00:02:47,344
Every minute that we're down,
58
00:02:47,379 --> 00:02:49,827
we're losing money, so...
59
00:02:49,862 --> 00:02:52,620
we just wanna get this all
this stuff up there as soon
as possible,
60
00:02:52,655 --> 00:02:55,067
so we can start putting gold
in the box.
61
00:02:55,103 --> 00:02:57,206
To get Rocky
up and running,
62
00:02:57,241 --> 00:03:01,758
Rick's crew need to transport
their only pump
and a generator
63
00:03:01,793 --> 00:03:05,172
from Monster Red,
a mile down the valley,
64
00:03:05,206 --> 00:03:06,896
to the smaller plant.
65
00:03:06,931 --> 00:03:10,310
So, now, we're just
disconnecting this suction
line from the pump.
66
00:03:10,344 --> 00:03:12,241
This here, is a lot of weight.
67
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:14,586
It can hurt
any of us easily.
68
00:03:15,931 --> 00:03:17,413
Just gonna get it off,
69
00:03:17,448 --> 00:03:18,689
get it on its way.
70
00:03:20,931 --> 00:03:23,206
This machine
should be able to lift it,
but it's a heavy pump.
71
00:03:23,241 --> 00:03:26,724
It's about 15,000 pounds dry
and it's got a full tank
of fuel right now.
72
00:03:28,034 --> 00:03:30,068
The bad thing is we don't have
a whole lot of room down here,
73
00:03:30,103 --> 00:03:33,137
so we're gonna have
to swing it over the river.
74
00:03:36,172 --> 00:03:37,137
Stand back!
75
00:03:41,172 --> 00:03:43,930
We're gonna need it
to make it in one piece,
or we're gonna be in trouble.
76
00:03:47,724 --> 00:03:49,344
Oh, yeah, if we drop it
in there, we're
77
00:03:49,379 --> 00:03:52,930
because that's the only pump
we have and we need it to run
Rocky downstream.
78
00:03:52,965 --> 00:03:56,344
Any damage
to the $200,000 pump,
79
00:03:56,379 --> 00:03:58,137
could sink Rick's season.
80
00:04:01,137 --> 00:04:03,344
I just wanna try to get
it over the water and back
81
00:04:03,379 --> 00:04:05,241
onto dry land
as quick as I can.
82
00:04:15,172 --> 00:04:16,379
Better be careful.
83
00:04:20,757 --> 00:04:25,344
I've just gotta roll
a little way to go,
set it on flat ground.
84
00:04:29,827 --> 00:04:32,241
All right. Well, got it.
85
00:04:32,275 --> 00:04:35,241
Got it safely for now,
but we still got a lot of ways
to go and get to Rocky though.
86
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:37,620
We're gonna have to pull...
lift it with a loader.
87
00:04:37,655 --> 00:04:39,482
Um, it should be fine,
the loader can handle it.
88
00:04:39,517 --> 00:04:40,931
But it does have to go
through the river once.
89
00:04:42,655 --> 00:04:44,551
Just keep an eye on it,
with him going through
the river and all,
90
00:04:44,586 --> 00:04:46,655
I'll meet you guys
on the other side.
I'll be in the 700.
91
00:04:47,448 --> 00:04:48,448
Sure.
92
00:04:50,344 --> 00:04:52,206
Dude, I think
it's a two-kilometer walk
93
00:04:52,241 --> 00:04:55,896
with a $200,000 water pump.
94
00:04:55,931 --> 00:04:58,758
Charged with
walking the pump down
to Rocky,
95
00:04:58,793 --> 00:05:02,413
is new recruit, Trey Charlie.
96
00:05:02,448 --> 00:05:04,862
Yeah, I've got a guy.
His name's Trey. I've known
him for a few years.
97
00:05:04,896 --> 00:05:06,241
He's been mining up here.
98
00:05:06,275 --> 00:05:08,551
He knows how to run
a bit of everything,
so he's good.
99
00:05:08,586 --> 00:05:10,724
I need to have enough people
here to keep the plant going
100
00:05:10,758 --> 00:05:12,275
while I make
our next moves for us.
101
00:05:13,724 --> 00:05:16,034
Now, hopefully,
this goes pretty smooth.
102
00:05:16,068 --> 00:05:18,482
This is gonna be
a sketchy ride.
103
00:05:18,517 --> 00:05:20,482
Yeah, it's gonna be a little
front-heavy, huh?
104
00:05:20,517 --> 00:05:23,724
- This is gonna be
front-heavy, going downhill.
105
00:05:27,862 --> 00:05:30,068
-Better him than me!
106
00:05:31,896 --> 00:05:33,827
Yeah, I really don't wanna
anything up.
107
00:05:38,689 --> 00:05:42,000
The only thing I'm worried
about is the creek crossing.
108
00:05:42,034 --> 00:05:43,758
It might be
a little bouncy, but...
109
00:05:45,724 --> 00:05:47,862
you know, we gotta do it.
110
00:05:47,896 --> 00:05:49,482
But I don't know what's under
the water.
111
00:05:49,517 --> 00:05:51,172
I could hit a big boulder.
112
00:05:51,206 --> 00:05:53,241
Or maybe,
even snap our rigging.
113
00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:03,000
This is where it's gonna
get tricky.
114
00:06:14,655 --> 00:06:16,965
I can't see what I'm doing.
115
00:06:18,034 --> 00:06:20,137
You know, I could feel
I'm running over boulders.
116
00:06:29,517 --> 00:06:31,206
My
117
00:06:32,965 --> 00:06:34,551
Think we're
through that.
118
00:06:36,758 --> 00:06:39,620
Yeah, that was a bit...
119
00:06:39,655 --> 00:06:41,551
sketchy, but we got
through there.
120
00:06:41,965 --> 00:06:42,965
We're here.
121
00:06:43,655 --> 00:06:45,413
And I couldn't be happier.
122
00:06:45,448 --> 00:06:47,862
You know, this is gonna be
this water pump's new home.
123
00:06:48,655 --> 00:06:50,344
Back up, so we can unhook it.
124
00:06:51,896 --> 00:06:53,413
The pump's ready to go,
so we're swinging it in
125
00:06:53,448 --> 00:06:54,620
and hook up
the discharge line,
126
00:06:54,655 --> 00:06:56,862
so I can swing it into place.
127
00:06:56,896 --> 00:06:59,310
We're going to try
to make this pump up
to what's already there.
128
00:07:01,827 --> 00:07:04,310
Perfect.
129
00:07:04,344 --> 00:07:06,620
All we've gotta do now
is get the suction line
in there.
130
00:07:07,482 --> 00:07:08,689
Now, we got water
out of the plant,
131
00:07:08,724 --> 00:07:10,862
then all we gotta do
is worry about power.
132
00:07:10,896 --> 00:07:13,241
As Rick installs
the suction line...
133
00:07:13,931 --> 00:07:15,620
Bingo!
134
00:07:15,655 --> 00:07:18,103
...Trey returns
with the one-ton generator.
135
00:07:20,103 --> 00:07:22,103
We got
through there safely.
136
00:07:25,344 --> 00:07:29,551
This is definitely
the final piece of the puzzle
to get rocking and rolling.
137
00:07:29,586 --> 00:07:31,482
We can get this power
hooked up.
138
00:07:33,137 --> 00:07:34,586
Then, we're laughing.
139
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,344
Winner, winner,
chicken dinner.
140
00:07:39,034 --> 00:07:43,310
With Bacon Strip
paydirt already stockpiled
next to the plant,
141
00:07:43,344 --> 00:07:44,827
it's time to fire up.
142
00:07:46,517 --> 00:07:48,241
yeah.
Let's go drink some beer.
143
00:07:48,275 --> 00:07:49,413
I'm just kidding,
we gotta test it.
144
00:07:49,448 --> 00:07:52,310
-We gotta get
the plant going first, huh?
145
00:07:52,344 --> 00:07:53,827
All right,
let's do it.
146
00:07:57,758 --> 00:07:59,724
There we go!
147
00:08:01,379 --> 00:08:03,206
Let's sluice, boy!
148
00:08:05,103 --> 00:08:07,724
Rick just went over
there to fire up
the water pump.
149
00:08:07,758 --> 00:08:09,758
If Rick can get
this thing running,
150
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:12,655
we can start sluice
and put some gold
in the box.
151
00:08:13,413 --> 00:08:14,551
And we're good to go.
152
00:08:25,034 --> 00:08:27,448
Whoo! Holy cow!
153
00:08:29,551 --> 00:08:31,241
Isn't that
a little much water?
154
00:08:32,793 --> 00:08:34,172
That's way too much water.
155
00:08:34,206 --> 00:08:36,517
Hey, open the bypass out.
156
00:08:36,551 --> 00:08:38,586
Shut it down,
shut it down!
157
00:08:40,172 --> 00:08:43,586
It's way too much
water pressure.
158
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:45,413
The other way!
No, the other way!
159
00:08:50,068 --> 00:08:52,655
Still set up
for Monster Red,
160
00:08:52,689 --> 00:08:56,172
the pump has sent
twice Rocky's water capacity
161
00:08:56,206 --> 00:08:58,172
through the smaller
wash plant,
162
00:08:58,206 --> 00:09:00,206
flooding the generator.
163
00:09:00,241 --> 00:09:02,482
You'll have
to disconnect everything.
164
00:09:02,517 --> 00:09:05,137
There's nothing I can do,
you know what I mean?
165
00:09:05,172 --> 00:09:08,517
Until the generator
has time to dry out,
166
00:09:08,551 --> 00:09:11,551
Rick can't risk
firing back up.
167
00:09:12,862 --> 00:09:15,551
Electricity and water
don't work so well together.
168
00:09:32,517 --> 00:09:35,275
We have to get
5,000 ounces out this year.
169
00:09:36,896 --> 00:09:39,137
Or else, we're in some
big
170
00:09:41,344 --> 00:09:44,344
The conversation with Parker
has stuck in my head.
171
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,793
He just said,
"It's not a goal,
it's mandatory."
172
00:09:50,172 --> 00:09:52,758
So, it's just a matter
of trying to play catch-up.
173
00:09:58,379 --> 00:09:59,965
We're very spread out
174
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,068
and we're in a very deep hole,
it's kinda stressful.
175
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:06,655
This year, it started with
a pretty big downpayment
to Dean for Dominion.
176
00:10:07,655 --> 00:10:09,827
After spending
millions to buy
177
00:10:09,862 --> 00:10:11,827
the Dominion Creek Claims,
178
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:14,517
Parker Schnabel is deep
in the hole.
179
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,275
We're on the hook
for a lot more payments.
180
00:10:17,310 --> 00:10:19,344
That's $15 million total.
181
00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:21,310
Then, we have operating cost
on top of that
182
00:10:21,344 --> 00:10:24,965
and a lot of equipment repairs
on top of that.
183
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,482
So, we definitely have
a lot of revenue that needs
to come in
184
00:10:28,517 --> 00:10:30,103
and a lot of gold that needs
to come in.
185
00:10:31,689 --> 00:10:34,137
Parker's light
at the end of the tunnel
186
00:10:34,172 --> 00:10:39,241
is a potential $160 million
payday at Dominion.
187
00:10:39,275 --> 00:10:40,793
But to get there,
188
00:10:40,827 --> 00:10:44,758
he needs to find a way
to keep the operation running
long enough
189
00:10:44,793 --> 00:10:46,931
to find the big gold.
190
00:10:48,517 --> 00:10:52,482
After sluicing a small section
of Dominion last week,
191
00:10:52,517 --> 00:10:54,241
he's back to stripping
192
00:10:54,275 --> 00:10:56,655
with no gold coming in.
193
00:10:58,586 --> 00:11:00,965
I'm definitely a bit
stressed out about it all.
194
00:11:01,827 --> 00:11:04,620
Like, we're massively
195
00:11:05,655 --> 00:11:07,413
in over our head.
196
00:11:07,448 --> 00:11:09,862
We'll see where things end up.
197
00:11:09,896 --> 00:11:14,517
But for the first time
in quite a few years,
I'm actually a bit, like...
198
00:11:16,068 --> 00:11:17,034
nervous.
199
00:11:18,758 --> 00:11:20,655
But hopefully,
Tyson can get up
and going soon,
200
00:11:20,689 --> 00:11:22,551
at Ken and Stuart's, you know?
201
00:11:22,586 --> 00:11:24,310
We need the money coming in.
202
00:11:24,344 --> 00:11:27,241
Get us up and washing rocks
and finding some gold again.
203
00:11:29,758 --> 00:11:33,206
You know, we really gotta
keep Dominion funded
and keep the whole
204
00:11:33,241 --> 00:11:34,931
company going.
205
00:11:34,965 --> 00:11:37,034
To
bankroll Dominion,
206
00:11:37,068 --> 00:11:41,965
Tyson Lee is mining ground
leased from Ken Tatlow
and Stuart Schmidt.
207
00:11:43,034 --> 00:11:45,448
The first cut
was disappointing
208
00:11:45,482 --> 00:11:47,827
and ran out faster
than expected.
209
00:11:47,862 --> 00:11:50,620
And now, he's prepping
the next one,
210
00:11:50,655 --> 00:11:51,931
El Dorado.
211
00:11:53,862 --> 00:11:57,620
Getting El Dorado ready,
I thought I had
a lot more time.
212
00:11:57,655 --> 00:12:00,517
Trying to get the next
plant pad ready.
213
00:12:00,551 --> 00:12:02,896
You know, I only have
a certain amount of people
down here,
214
00:12:02,931 --> 00:12:06,620
so it's a lot
of work doing this.
215
00:12:06,655 --> 00:12:10,206
Tyson needs
to move the plant
to the El Dorado Cut
216
00:12:10,241 --> 00:12:12,517
and get the gold
coming back in
217
00:12:12,551 --> 00:12:13,758
by the end of the week.
218
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,206
How's Dominion life?
219
00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:22,206
Not bad.
220
00:12:22,896 --> 00:12:24,275
Sunny skies?
221
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:27,620
- hot, isn't it?
-Yeah, it has been
the past few days.
222
00:12:27,655 --> 00:12:29,379
Get started sluicing
here tomorrow?
223
00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:31,275
No.
224
00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:34,862
I'd rather wait for some
more experienced help,
have to move the plant.
225
00:12:34,896 --> 00:12:37,000
Are you itching
to get sluicing?
226
00:12:38,034 --> 00:12:40,137
Yeah, I'd rather sluice.
227
00:12:40,827 --> 00:12:41,827
Okay.
228
00:12:43,448 --> 00:12:47,241
Parker wants
the plant up and running
by morning.
229
00:12:47,275 --> 00:12:49,896
So, Tyson will have
to move Slucifer
230
00:12:49,931 --> 00:12:51,620
with just a skeleton crew.
231
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:54,379
We're gonna fire up.
232
00:12:54,413 --> 00:12:57,482
Then, we'll get back
to our regularly
scheduled program.
233
00:12:59,482 --> 00:13:01,310
It's gonna be
damn near impossible.
234
00:13:14,275 --> 00:13:15,724
Although,
it looks like
235
00:13:15,758 --> 00:13:17,344
the wash plant's pretty much
ready to go,
236
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:19,620
there's still a lot
of work to be done, so...
237
00:13:19,655 --> 00:13:22,241
But he's really putting
us under the gun.
238
00:13:22,275 --> 00:13:24,793
Parker's left
plant boss, Tyson Lee,
239
00:13:24,827 --> 00:13:26,965
with a Herculean task,
240
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,310
get wash plant,
Slucifer, running
241
00:13:29,344 --> 00:13:31,034
in 24 hours.
242
00:13:33,344 --> 00:13:36,241
Last time,
I had Alec helping,
Liam helping and I guess
243
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:38,275
they're hung up at Dominion.
244
00:13:38,310 --> 00:13:41,827
Looks like Evan and I
are gonna be stuck
moving Slucifer.
245
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:43,172
To get it done,
246
00:13:43,206 --> 00:13:46,551
Tyson teams up with
operator, Evan Kurtz,
247
00:13:46,586 --> 00:13:48,482
who's never moved
a wash plant.
248
00:13:49,379 --> 00:13:51,068
Can't wait to get up
and going again,
249
00:13:51,103 --> 00:13:52,931
so we gotta get a move on.
250
00:13:57,862 --> 00:13:59,103
Slinging up
251
00:14:00,172 --> 00:14:01,413
these things
252
00:14:02,034 --> 00:14:03,448
to Slucifer
253
00:14:03,482 --> 00:14:06,034
and Tyson's gonna pull
her down to the new pad
254
00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:08,241
with the 750.
255
00:14:09,344 --> 00:14:11,517
Yeah, wash plant moves
these days are...
256
00:14:13,586 --> 00:14:17,068
getting to be fewer and fewer
people around to help
do them, so...
257
00:14:18,793 --> 00:14:21,965
One piece at a time,
we're ready to drag
the plant over.
258
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,448
Tyson's plan,
259
00:14:23,482 --> 00:14:28,551
use the 750 excavator to pull
Slucifer 300 yards
to the bottom
260
00:14:28,586 --> 00:14:31,344
of its new wash plant pad.
261
00:14:31,379 --> 00:14:36,034
Then, drag the 45-ton plant
up the 60-foot pad
262
00:14:36,068 --> 00:14:38,896
using the excavator's bucket
to anchor,
263
00:14:38,931 --> 00:14:43,275
and then, lever each step
up the 25-degree slope
264
00:14:43,310 --> 00:14:45,827
until it reaches
its final position
265
00:14:45,862 --> 00:14:46,862
at the top.
266
00:14:50,413 --> 00:14:52,448
There's a hole
on your back right.
267
00:14:56,862 --> 00:14:58,965
I've never moved
a wash plant with
268
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,551
these two guys here before,
269
00:15:00,586 --> 00:15:04,000
so, you know,
it's just a lot of...
270
00:15:04,034 --> 00:15:06,827
lot of moving parts
and a lot of things
I gotta keep my eyes on
271
00:15:06,862 --> 00:15:08,689
and a lot they gotta
keep their eyes on.
272
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:13,206
Turn more.
273
00:15:13,241 --> 00:15:15,344
Once I drag it
up there, it's up there.
274
00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:16,793
There's no pulling
her back down.
275
00:15:21,413 --> 00:15:24,724
So, Evan,
when we're doing this,
we wanna make sure the plant
276
00:15:24,758 --> 00:15:26,758
is right square
with our pad, right?
277
00:15:26,793 --> 00:15:28,206
So, we have one chance
to do this.
278
00:15:28,241 --> 00:15:30,758
Then, we'll drag it up
and I have to go over
the bank backwards,
279
00:15:30,793 --> 00:15:32,448
so you really have to be
my eyes there, too.
280
00:15:32,482 --> 00:15:34,862
-I wanna land on
the super stacker pad.
- Yeah.
281
00:15:34,896 --> 00:15:37,172
-But we'll get her.
- Oh, yeah. Sounds good.
282
00:15:37,206 --> 00:15:39,448
- Thanks, Ev.
- No problem!
283
00:15:42,896 --> 00:15:45,034
You're pretty lined up
right now, you're good.
284
00:15:48,482 --> 00:15:49,862
This ramp
is pretty steep,
285
00:15:49,896 --> 00:15:51,724
we tried to make it
as gradual as we could,
286
00:15:51,758 --> 00:15:56,068
but we're on a time,
so, you know, the 750 is...
287
00:15:57,793 --> 00:15:59,689
the best excavator
we have on site,
288
00:15:59,724 --> 00:16:02,655
but Slucifer is also
really heavy.
289
00:16:04,689 --> 00:16:06,172
Steep
290
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:08,000
Okay.
291
00:16:08,034 --> 00:16:10,862
You're still on pretty
good track.
292
00:16:14,172 --> 00:16:17,275
Looks sketchy as
to be in the hole.
293
00:16:18,758 --> 00:16:22,482
Just using my bucket
as kind of a pry bar here,
294
00:16:22,517 --> 00:16:25,758
and also trying to prevent
the plant from digging
into the pad.
295
00:16:25,793 --> 00:16:28,275
Slucifer is one heavy
296
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:32,827
It looks like
we're almost there.
297
00:16:32,862 --> 00:16:36,655
Yeah, shoot
to your left a little bit,
right there.
298
00:16:36,689 --> 00:16:41,482
Tyson must now
guide the wash plant
to its final position
299
00:16:41,517 --> 00:16:47,517
by reversing the 72-ton
excavator off the edge
of the steep pad.
300
00:16:47,551 --> 00:16:50,000
You're gonna start
going over the edge after.
301
00:16:51,448 --> 00:16:54,034
As long as I'm squared of it,
that's all that matters.
302
00:16:56,103 --> 00:16:58,103
Oh
303
00:17:09,619 --> 00:17:10,964
Whoo!
304
00:17:12,655 --> 00:17:14,689
You wanna run
and grab that level, Ev?
305
00:17:16,689 --> 00:17:18,000
You wanna do the honors?
306
00:17:18,448 --> 00:17:19,517
Sure.
307
00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:21,448
If the plant's
not level,
308
00:17:21,482 --> 00:17:24,931
valuable gold could be lost
from the sluice boxes.
309
00:17:25,758 --> 00:17:27,241
It's in between
the lines.
310
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,931
- Perfect.
- yeah.
311
00:17:31,965 --> 00:17:34,586
- Like,
we've done this before.
- First try.
312
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:36,344
Let's get back out.
Nice work, man.
313
00:17:36,379 --> 00:17:38,793
For your first
wash plant move,
that wasn't bad.
314
00:17:38,827 --> 00:17:40,310
Oh, yeah, had fun.
315
00:17:42,413 --> 00:17:45,068
Plant safely
on the pad,
316
00:17:45,103 --> 00:17:49,896
Tyson and Evan can now
install the conveyor
and hopper feeder.
317
00:17:49,931 --> 00:17:51,620
Well, there we go,
we got our feeder in,
318
00:17:51,655 --> 00:17:53,689
super stacker in, plant in.
319
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:56,379
We have water flowing,
our water's re-circulating.
320
00:17:56,413 --> 00:17:58,482
We're about to fire up
in El Dorado.
321
00:18:00,206 --> 00:18:01,586
I've really high hopes.
322
00:18:02,137 --> 00:18:03,379
But time will tell.
323
00:18:05,448 --> 00:18:08,413
We don't have time
to mess around,
we gotta get back to sluicing.
324
00:18:09,275 --> 00:18:10,965
We're ready,
let's fire her up!
325
00:18:18,172 --> 00:18:20,206
It took a while to get
everything set up,
326
00:18:20,241 --> 00:18:23,620
so, you know,
it feels really good
to be back sluicing.
327
00:18:23,655 --> 00:18:26,310
And hopefully,
there's some good gold here
to come along with it.
328
00:18:55,931 --> 00:18:58,551
King
of the Klondike, Tony Beets,
329
00:18:58,586 --> 00:19:00,413
is in crisis.
330
00:19:00,448 --> 00:19:02,965
Over a third of the way
through his season,
331
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,724
he's only fired up
one wash plant,
332
00:19:05,758 --> 00:19:08,586
a shaker deck
at his Indian River Claim,
333
00:19:09,724 --> 00:19:13,758
which, so far, has delivered
barely 60 ounces,
334
00:19:13,793 --> 00:19:17,517
just one percent
of his 6,000 ounce goal.
335
00:19:29,724 --> 00:19:32,655
But the trommel
Tony wants to get running,
336
00:19:32,689 --> 00:19:35,551
is located
at his Paradise Hill claim,
337
00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:38,068
40 miles away.
338
00:19:42,931 --> 00:19:45,275
Before he leaves
the Indian river
339
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:46,965
to work on the trommel,
340
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,896
Tony puts one of the few
he trusts in charge.
341
00:20:06,551 --> 00:20:07,793
My circus, my monkeys?
342
00:20:12,586 --> 00:20:13,379
Perfect.
343
00:20:34,344 --> 00:20:35,103
Ah!
344
00:21:08,275 --> 00:21:13,241
Just minutes
after putting Monica
in charge at Indian River,
345
00:21:13,275 --> 00:21:16,827
the shaker deck conveyor belt
has ground to a halt
346
00:21:16,862 --> 00:21:19,103
causing a pile up of paydirt,
347
00:21:19,137 --> 00:21:22,275
shutting down the Beets'
only running wash plant.
348
00:21:23,758 --> 00:21:26,689
I don't know why it stopped,
It was doing so well.
349
00:21:39,724 --> 00:21:41,344
It's down to Monica
350
00:21:41,379 --> 00:21:43,482
to get the plant
back up and running.
351
00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:58,689
Well, I've already
got people getting shovels.
We'll get it shoveled off.
352
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:02,068
Yeah, it is.
353
00:22:05,931 --> 00:22:07,689
You can head of to the hill.
I got it covered.
354
00:22:09,689 --> 00:22:10,482
Yeah.
355
00:22:41,413 --> 00:22:43,758
Are the rollers
just not catching on the...
356
00:22:44,724 --> 00:22:45,896
on the track?
357
00:22:47,344 --> 00:22:51,310
You hear that clicking?
Can you see that
piece flicking out?
358
00:22:51,344 --> 00:22:52,724
That's not supposed
to be there.
359
00:22:55,896 --> 00:23:00,551
So, one of the pieces
on the main drive drum,
360
00:23:00,586 --> 00:23:02,068
they're all supposed
to be sideways,
361
00:23:02,103 --> 00:23:05,344
this one's kinda loose
and is hanging diagonal.
362
00:23:05,379 --> 00:23:08,517
That's that clicking
and that flicking you see.
363
00:23:08,551 --> 00:23:11,482
The shaker deck's
first belt conveyor
364
00:23:11,517 --> 00:23:14,103
feeds a second,
longer conveyor,
365
00:23:14,137 --> 00:23:17,000
that delivers paydirt
to the plant.
366
00:23:17,034 --> 00:23:21,448
The second belt is powered
by a drive wheel at its base
367
00:23:21,482 --> 00:23:25,344
where one of the metal rods
on the barrel of the wheel
has come loose,
368
00:23:25,379 --> 00:23:27,068
causing it to jam
369
00:23:27,103 --> 00:23:30,275
and paydirt to pile up between
the two conveyors.
370
00:23:31,310 --> 00:23:33,586
Once Monica removes the rod,
371
00:23:33,620 --> 00:23:36,000
all she has to do
is clear the dirt
372
00:23:36,034 --> 00:23:37,482
and fire back up.
373
00:23:38,310 --> 00:23:39,655
Cut the power!
374
00:23:40,862 --> 00:23:41,689
Shut it all off.
375
00:23:42,172 --> 00:23:43,965
And so,
376
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,862
Evan's going
to try to remove it.
377
00:23:53,517 --> 00:23:54,758
The problem.
378
00:23:55,482 --> 00:23:56,689
Oh, that's exciting.
379
00:23:58,137 --> 00:23:59,724
Is that what you call that?
380
00:23:59,758 --> 00:24:00,827
Yeah.
381
00:24:01,517 --> 00:24:03,000
What would you call it?
382
00:24:03,034 --> 00:24:04,344
Pain in the ass.
383
00:24:08,172 --> 00:24:09,862
-Scared of heights?
- Nope.
384
00:24:11,586 --> 00:24:15,689
The dirt started piling up.
It got too heavy on the big
belt and it wouldn't go
385
00:24:15,724 --> 00:24:17,689
and so, we had to up.
386
00:24:17,724 --> 00:24:19,862
We don't really want
this kind of
387
00:24:19,896 --> 00:24:21,620
to happen, we just started up.
388
00:24:22,862 --> 00:24:24,241
It's not what we need,
it's, you know,
389
00:24:24,275 --> 00:24:27,551
half hour or an hour
of struggling before
we can start up again.
390
00:24:27,586 --> 00:24:30,655
And honestly,
the faster I can get back
to shoveling,
391
00:24:30,689 --> 00:24:32,068
the faster it will be
up and running.
392
00:24:36,931 --> 00:24:39,689
Obviously, it sucks when,
like, this happens.
393
00:24:39,724 --> 00:24:43,206
But Tony left me in charge
and at least,
I know what to do.
394
00:24:43,241 --> 00:24:45,034
And we got the right people
here to fix it.
395
00:24:50,103 --> 00:24:51,862
After an hour
of shoveling,
396
00:24:51,896 --> 00:24:55,000
it's time to find out
if Monica's fix has worked.
397
00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:57,551
All right!
398
00:24:57,586 --> 00:24:58,586
Stand back.
399
00:25:01,689 --> 00:25:02,689
Fire it up!
400
00:25:15,724 --> 00:25:16,862
Got it.
401
00:25:23,896 --> 00:25:28,551
It's nice if TB can trust me
out here to do the job
402
00:25:28,586 --> 00:25:31,172
and get it done,
so that he can get
403
00:25:31,206 --> 00:25:32,000
the trommel going.
404
00:25:33,551 --> 00:25:37,379
But we just got one place
going for the meantime.
405
00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:39,172
I mean, somebody's gotta
carry the company
406
00:25:39,206 --> 00:25:41,172
and I guess, it's me today.
407
00:25:52,655 --> 00:25:54,344
We hit the ground
running down here
408
00:25:54,379 --> 00:25:57,827
at Ken's the second Slucifer
was ready to go,
we fired her up
409
00:25:57,862 --> 00:26:01,103
and we're running
24 hours a day.
410
00:26:01,137 --> 00:26:06,275
Tyson Lee has
started bringing in the gold
Parker desperately needs
411
00:26:06,310 --> 00:26:10,724
to bankroll his $15 million
Dominion Creek gamble.
412
00:26:12,448 --> 00:26:15,103
This thing's washing
rocks and catching gold.
413
00:26:15,137 --> 00:26:16,896
You know, it's just
414
00:26:16,931 --> 00:26:18,482
a matter of trying to keep
the pay up,
415
00:26:18,517 --> 00:26:20,379
trying to keep it fed.
416
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:25,827
But we've really gotta get
that 5,000 ounces to keep
the whole company going
417
00:26:25,862 --> 00:26:27,103
until next season.
418
00:26:32,034 --> 00:26:33,172
Go ahead.
419
00:26:49,689 --> 00:26:53,724
You're gonna have to give
me a sec here to get
things sorted.
420
00:26:53,758 --> 00:26:55,793
I just gotta get Evan
set up here.
421
00:26:58,172 --> 00:26:59,137
Awesome.
422
00:27:00,482 --> 00:27:02,965
A loader has gone
off the road
423
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,689
four miles from
Tyson's operation
424
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:06,965
forcing him to leave.
425
00:27:08,034 --> 00:27:09,793
And
it's really bad timing.
426
00:27:09,827 --> 00:27:12,379
I'm gonna explain to Evan
what needs to happen.
427
00:27:13,862 --> 00:27:15,172
I'm gonna leave it
in his hands.
428
00:27:16,241 --> 00:27:19,517
-Have you fed with
an excavator before?
-No.
429
00:27:20,620 --> 00:27:22,724
Tyson needs
the loader
430
00:27:22,758 --> 00:27:26,724
that feeds the plant
to rescue the stuck loader.
431
00:27:26,758 --> 00:27:28,827
To keep Slucifer fed,
432
00:27:28,862 --> 00:27:32,758
Evan must use
the 750 excavator
for the first time
433
00:27:32,793 --> 00:27:34,482
in his young mining career.
434
00:27:35,482 --> 00:27:37,517
Uh, I've been
in it here and there,
435
00:27:37,551 --> 00:27:41,931
but not very often.
436
00:27:41,965 --> 00:27:45,137
So, when you're hole feeding,
really trying not to spill
over the front edge
437
00:27:45,172 --> 00:27:47,379
and just slowly trickle
it through, right!
438
00:27:47,413 --> 00:27:50,172
- Yeah.
-Just make damn sure
not to hit it.
439
00:27:50,206 --> 00:27:52,344
Make damn sure not
to pull off any of her wings.
440
00:27:53,068 --> 00:27:54,275
But yeah.
441
00:27:54,310 --> 00:27:56,965
-Don't anything up.
-I'll try not to.
442
00:27:58,482 --> 00:28:00,103
I hate to leave
the plant.
443
00:28:01,896 --> 00:28:04,103
The worst timing,
but when is it not, right?
444
00:28:05,310 --> 00:28:07,724
I have a feeling
today is gonna be a long day.
445
00:28:12,448 --> 00:28:14,758
That tree is definitely
gonna be a problem.
446
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,827
But I didn't think it would
be this bad.
447
00:28:35,551 --> 00:28:38,413
That tree
is definitely gonna be
a problem.
448
00:28:38,448 --> 00:28:39,827
But it doesn't look like
449
00:28:41,310 --> 00:28:43,275
there's any damage.
450
00:28:43,310 --> 00:28:46,137
So, we'll just try and keep
it that way getting it out.
451
00:28:46,172 --> 00:28:47,724
But I didn't think
it would be this bad.
452
00:28:48,793 --> 00:28:50,793
Plant boss
Tyson Lee,
453
00:28:50,827 --> 00:28:55,793
has left Parker's only running
wash plant in the hands
of a rookie crew member
454
00:28:55,827 --> 00:28:57,206
to rescue a loader
455
00:28:57,241 --> 00:28:59,206
that operator, Liam Pukila,
456
00:28:59,241 --> 00:29:00,931
has wrapped around a tree.
457
00:29:02,655 --> 00:29:03,931
That's not coming out.
458
00:29:05,068 --> 00:29:07,103
Every minute
that goes by,
459
00:29:07,137 --> 00:29:08,655
it stresses me out more.
460
00:29:11,241 --> 00:29:13,482
You know, I hope
things are going good
down at the Slucifer
461
00:29:13,517 --> 00:29:17,310
'cause I'm definitely
not there right now.
462
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:23,379
-How are you
making out so far?
-You tree hugger, you!
463
00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:27,000
I was backing up
to get out of the way.
464
00:29:27,034 --> 00:29:28,379
The edge was soft.
465
00:29:29,758 --> 00:29:31,413
I fell off of the edge,
466
00:29:32,379 --> 00:29:34,827
and now,
I'm blocking the road.
467
00:29:34,862 --> 00:29:36,689
It's just this tree.
If this tree wasn't here,
468
00:29:36,724 --> 00:29:39,241
-a guy would be able to drive
it right out, no problem.
-Yeah, all right.
469
00:29:39,275 --> 00:29:40,827
Taylor's got
eyes on you there.
470
00:29:40,862 --> 00:29:42,275
Okay.
471
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:47,206
Liam sank
the 39-ton loader sideways
into the ditch
472
00:29:47,241 --> 00:29:50,103
pinning the mid axle
around the trunk of a tree.
473
00:29:50,551 --> 00:29:52,068
One wrong move
474
00:29:52,103 --> 00:29:54,517
could tear
the axle off entirely,
475
00:29:54,551 --> 00:29:56,379
causing irreparable damage
476
00:29:56,413 --> 00:29:59,103
to the $200,000 loader.
477
00:30:01,103 --> 00:30:04,965
Let's get a chain on the end
and see if we can get
this thing out of this hole.
478
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Yeah.
479
00:30:07,793 --> 00:30:11,827
Tyson and Taylor
will use a chain to pull
the back end of the loader
480
00:30:11,862 --> 00:30:15,620
up the bank
and away from the tree.
481
00:30:15,655 --> 00:30:17,793
See,
I just chucked that on,
we'll see how it goes.
482
00:30:17,827 --> 00:30:20,482
Fine, we just wanna take
some weight
483
00:30:20,517 --> 00:30:23,344
and see if we can lift
this out of this hole.
484
00:30:23,379 --> 00:30:24,310
You'll be
in this loader,
485
00:30:24,344 --> 00:30:26,103
I'll be in that one
and Taylor will be
486
00:30:26,137 --> 00:30:28,517
kinda our eyes on the ground
while we're doing this.
487
00:30:29,793 --> 00:30:32,310
Are you able to come forward
right now, Liam?
488
00:30:40,620 --> 00:30:41,862
We're moving it.
489
00:30:47,068 --> 00:30:48,241
Keep going.
490
00:30:51,068 --> 00:30:53,586
Don't stop there.
Come forward, Tyson.
Foot on the brake, Liam.
491
00:30:57,517 --> 00:30:59,655
If it weren't for the tree,
we'd be out of this by now.
492
00:31:01,137 --> 00:31:04,965
The tree is jammed
so tightly inside the axle,
493
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,172
that the rear of the loader
is impossible to release.
494
00:31:09,206 --> 00:31:11,724
Right now,
I'm just clearing a bit
of room on the road,
495
00:31:11,758 --> 00:31:15,137
so I can get her around
front of Liam
496
00:31:15,172 --> 00:31:17,034
and we can try pulling
from the front.
497
00:31:18,275 --> 00:31:20,689
So,
they switch to Plan B.
498
00:31:22,724 --> 00:31:24,827
We're gonna try
and push from the corner
of the bucket
499
00:31:24,862 --> 00:31:27,413
and get these front tires
away from the tree.
500
00:31:27,448 --> 00:31:29,482
We have to shimmy
this loader away
501
00:31:29,517 --> 00:31:33,103
or else, we're just gonna
keep getting hung up on it.
502
00:31:33,137 --> 00:31:35,724
I've never seen a machine
get stuck quite like this.
503
00:31:40,206 --> 00:31:42,793
Careful, guys.
We got a lot of force
on the tires here.
504
00:31:45,827 --> 00:31:47,758
-She working?
-She's working.
505
00:31:47,793 --> 00:31:50,586
Keep going, Tys.
We're getting it,
we're shoving it over here.
506
00:31:51,413 --> 00:31:52,620
Keep going!
507
00:31:54,241 --> 00:31:56,000
Keep going, keep going,
keep going, keep going.
508
00:31:57,172 --> 00:31:58,551
Foot off the brake, Liam.
509
00:31:59,310 --> 00:32:00,689
Keep it
neutral now.
510
00:32:01,310 --> 00:32:02,517
There you go.
511
00:32:02,551 --> 00:32:03,689
There you go.
512
00:32:06,793 --> 00:32:09,034
Yeah,
I'm gonna set him down
and let's see what he can do
513
00:32:09,068 --> 00:32:12,896
'cause pretty soon we're gonna
end up committing to doing
a full 180 with this thing.
514
00:32:14,586 --> 00:32:16,448
An hour
into the rescue,
515
00:32:16,482 --> 00:32:19,413
the loader is finally
separated from the tree.
516
00:32:20,965 --> 00:32:24,034
Liam, first gear,
diff locks on!
517
00:32:25,241 --> 00:32:26,758
Let's go! Whoo!
518
00:32:27,517 --> 00:32:29,482
-Whoo!
-Nice work, buddy.
519
00:32:29,517 --> 00:32:30,793
Thanks, man.
520
00:32:30,827 --> 00:32:32,793
If all we lost was a little...
521
00:32:32,827 --> 00:32:35,241
a little bit of a mud guard,
I think we're in good shape.
522
00:32:35,275 --> 00:32:37,517
Oh, yeah. Look at that front
one. It's a little
523
00:32:37,551 --> 00:32:40,862
Ah I love you so much.
524
00:32:40,896 --> 00:32:43,068
In all seriousness,
I should get back down
to Ken's.
525
00:32:43,103 --> 00:32:46,137
Let's chuck all this rigging
back in your bucket
and you can hit the road.
526
00:32:48,379 --> 00:32:51,413
Tyson races back
to the El Dorado cut
527
00:32:51,448 --> 00:32:54,103
to find out
if rookie operator, Evan,
528
00:32:54,137 --> 00:32:55,931
is still bringing in the gold.
529
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:03,862
I am back at Slucifer,
it looks like Evan managed to
keep the wash plant running.
530
00:33:05,310 --> 00:33:06,551
Good job, Evan.
531
00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:10,137
- Yo.
- How's it going, Ev?
532
00:33:10,172 --> 00:33:12,655
Good. How are you?
Get that loader out?
533
00:33:12,689 --> 00:33:15,000
Managed to get her out
in one piece, yeah.
534
00:33:15,034 --> 00:33:17,344
Loader's all good
and Liam's all good,
so that's what matters.
535
00:33:17,379 --> 00:33:18,620
Yep.
536
00:33:18,655 --> 00:33:20,689
More importantly,
how are things going
down here?
537
00:33:20,724 --> 00:33:22,896
Ran like a dream,
no problems.
538
00:33:22,931 --> 00:33:23,965
Nice work.
539
00:33:37,827 --> 00:33:42,000
And it's just a reminder
of the fact that, you know,
I've fallen behind a bit.
540
00:33:42,896 --> 00:33:44,310
I need to put gold
in this box.
541
00:33:45,137 --> 00:33:46,655
At the Bacon Strip,
542
00:33:46,689 --> 00:33:48,965
Rick Ness is shut down
543
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,689
after his first attempt
to fire up wash plant, Rocky,
544
00:33:52,724 --> 00:33:54,137
flooded the generator.
545
00:33:55,620 --> 00:33:57,172
Start building this pile up.
546
00:33:59,482 --> 00:34:02,724
So close to being able to run
through this fricking plant
full time, you know,
547
00:34:02,758 --> 00:34:05,793
fricking load it up with some
gold and walk.
548
00:34:05,827 --> 00:34:08,551
The crew have been
stockpiling pay
549
00:34:08,585 --> 00:34:10,310
while the generator
drained out.
550
00:34:11,724 --> 00:34:13,137
There's always gonna
be water there,
551
00:34:13,172 --> 00:34:15,620
so we just put a big pile
of coarse rocks there.
552
00:34:15,655 --> 00:34:18,516
'Cause it's gonna keep filling
with water, but if it's rock,
it'll go onto the rock.
553
00:34:20,516 --> 00:34:23,585
So, we're going to take
a bunch of tailings,
nice clean rocks,
554
00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:28,655
so that any water
that does go through here
can still freely flow,
555
00:34:28,688 --> 00:34:30,068
but we'll be able
to build it up
556
00:34:30,103 --> 00:34:35,034
so that our generator
is up above the water
instead of in it.
557
00:34:36,827 --> 00:34:39,241
To make it safe
from further flooding,
558
00:34:39,275 --> 00:34:42,413
Rick wants to build a pad
from coarse tailings
559
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:46,068
and lift the generator
on to higher, drier ground.
560
00:34:48,172 --> 00:34:50,137
Now, grab some
clean, clean rock
561
00:34:50,172 --> 00:34:52,447
and put it in the bucket
back in here.
562
00:34:52,482 --> 00:34:54,965
Then, we'll be free to put
the generator on top
of that.
563
00:34:55,655 --> 00:34:56,862
Yeah, sounds good.
564
00:34:59,793 --> 00:35:03,000
So, we fired up the wash plant
and we had
565
00:35:03,758 --> 00:35:05,758
way too much water pressure.
566
00:35:05,793 --> 00:35:07,620
Our generator was getting
567
00:35:08,482 --> 00:35:10,482
submerged by water.
568
00:35:10,517 --> 00:35:13,068
So, we had to shut down,
we're just taking
care of that.
569
00:35:13,103 --> 00:35:15,137
We're gonna get the generator
sitting a bit higher.
570
00:35:17,689 --> 00:35:19,310
Push it back this way
a little bit,
571
00:35:19,344 --> 00:35:21,448
and then, we'll set
the generator on there.
572
00:35:21,482 --> 00:35:22,482
Flatten it out.
573
00:35:26,413 --> 00:35:29,379
It's a thing of beauty.
We're ready to put
the generator back in.
574
00:35:31,068 --> 00:35:34,172
Get that hooked up
and everything to get
the show on the road.
575
00:35:36,862 --> 00:35:38,965
Now, we're gonna disconnect
this loader,
576
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,517
have the wires hook back up
and fricking
577
00:35:41,551 --> 00:35:42,586
run it.
578
00:35:47,172 --> 00:35:50,241
After laying
two tons of coarse tailings,
579
00:35:50,275 --> 00:35:53,931
the generator is on higher,
drier ground.
580
00:35:53,965 --> 00:35:58,241
And with the pump's pressure
settings now calibrated
for Rocky,
581
00:35:58,275 --> 00:36:01,586
Rick is finally ready
to fire up.
582
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:03,137
you wanna hit the generator?
583
00:36:06,344 --> 00:36:07,310
Oh, yeah.
584
00:36:10,241 --> 00:36:11,586
Now, this looks great.
585
00:36:11,620 --> 00:36:13,551
What do you think we should
probably throw some
water at it now?
586
00:36:14,620 --> 00:36:16,310
Hundred percent,
ready to go.
587
00:36:18,137 --> 00:36:19,655
Start kicking some ass.
588
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,172
Well, catastrophe
diverted there,
didn't blow any water lines.
589
00:36:30,206 --> 00:36:32,827
Plant is running.
You think we should put
some dirt through it?
590
00:36:32,862 --> 00:36:35,310
-What do you guys think?
- yeah.
591
00:36:35,344 --> 00:36:37,103
Trey, wake up!
592
00:36:37,137 --> 00:36:39,551
-Put some dirt
through it, buddy.
593
00:36:43,448 --> 00:36:45,448
Well, I'm pretty happy.
594
00:36:45,482 --> 00:36:48,413
Little I'm seeing.
I mean, this plant
has been down for two years.
595
00:36:48,448 --> 00:36:50,241
We got a few leaks
in some water hoses,
596
00:36:50,275 --> 00:36:53,275
but nothing major,
nothing to stop it
from working.
597
00:36:54,448 --> 00:36:57,827
After losing
half his week to the flooding,
598
00:36:57,862 --> 00:37:00,482
Rick needs the Bacon Strip
to deliver
599
00:37:00,517 --> 00:37:02,758
and keep his season alive.
600
00:37:05,206 --> 00:37:07,655
There's not a whole lot
of moving parts to it,
601
00:37:07,689 --> 00:37:09,344
you know, it's just one
electric motor,
602
00:37:10,655 --> 00:37:12,103
turning the shaker dock and...
603
00:37:13,275 --> 00:37:14,758
it's working like it should.
604
00:37:14,793 --> 00:37:16,034
I don't know, I like it.
605
00:37:16,068 --> 00:37:17,241
Everything is working good.
606
00:37:33,862 --> 00:37:35,827
Back at
Paradise Hill,
607
00:37:35,862 --> 00:37:38,344
the lack of gold
isn't the only thing
608
00:37:39,586 --> 00:37:41,310
...irritating
the king of the Klondike.
609
00:37:59,206 --> 00:38:02,000
So, I guess when we have
squirrels in the house,
610
00:38:02,448 --> 00:38:04,000
Tony gets the gun
611
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:05,896
and he starts shooting.
612
00:38:19,068 --> 00:38:22,379
It's Opa!
613
00:38:24,862 --> 00:38:26,344
Uncle Mike is gonna come.
614
00:38:27,068 --> 00:38:28,827
I can count.
615
00:38:28,862 --> 00:38:30,724
The Beets
family gather
616
00:38:30,758 --> 00:38:34,793
to find out what Monica
has brought in after
her first full week
617
00:38:34,827 --> 00:38:36,103
running Indian river.
618
00:38:42,206 --> 00:38:43,172
Yeah.
619
00:38:46,241 --> 00:38:47,275
Yeah.
620
00:38:56,551 --> 00:38:58,000
Okay,
let's pour this stuff.
621
00:39:01,068 --> 00:39:04,241
-You wanna help
mommy pour? Yeah?
-Yeah.
622
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:06,275
Come here,
you can help mommy pour.
623
00:39:07,344 --> 00:39:10,379
To hit Tony's
6,000 ounce target,
624
00:39:10,413 --> 00:39:12,931
and with just
one wash plant running,
625
00:39:12,965 --> 00:39:16,551
Monica needs to deliver
400 ounces a week.
626
00:39:18,448 --> 00:39:21,068
Ooh! All right. Ready?
627
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:28,827
Ten, 20, 30,
40, 50, 60,
628
00:39:30,034 --> 00:39:30,827
70,
629
00:39:31,620 --> 00:39:35,931
80, 90, 100, 110, 100...
630
00:39:36,482 --> 00:39:37,793
118,
631
00:39:38,655 --> 00:39:40,655
119,
632
00:39:41,448 --> 00:39:43,931
119.66.
633
00:39:49,206 --> 00:39:50,517
Monica's haul
634
00:39:50,551 --> 00:39:54,310
puts close to a quarter
of a million dollars
in the bank.
635
00:39:54,344 --> 00:39:56,310
But it's almost 300 ounces
636
00:39:56,965 --> 00:39:58,310
below target.
637
00:39:58,344 --> 00:40:01,517
Well, and this with
last week's, what,
180, all combined.
638
00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:04,827
No it doesn't.
639
00:40:09,241 --> 00:40:12,551
Like I always say, it's better
to have a bit coming in,
than just going out.
640
00:40:28,862 --> 00:40:31,137
-There's the guy
with the gold.
641
00:40:31,172 --> 00:40:32,655
He's not smiling.
642
00:40:32,689 --> 00:40:35,206
-He's not smiling.
-Couldn't be that good.
643
00:40:35,241 --> 00:40:39,517
Rick Ness is about
to discover if the move
to the Bacon Strip
644
00:40:39,551 --> 00:40:41,413
was the right call.
645
00:40:41,448 --> 00:40:42,965
Trey's first
gold weigh-in.
646
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,620
I trusted you to drive that
pump all the way down.
647
00:40:46,655 --> 00:40:47,689
We were just
talking about that.
648
00:40:47,724 --> 00:40:48,827
You got it done, buddy.
649
00:40:48,862 --> 00:40:50,206
We are down here now.
650
00:40:50,241 --> 00:40:53,000
Bacon Strip's right in there,
our wash plant's
right here, so...
651
00:40:53,034 --> 00:40:54,275
let's see what we got.
652
00:40:54,310 --> 00:40:55,793
Trey, you wanna
count this out?
653
00:40:55,827 --> 00:40:57,379
Being as it's your first
gold weigh-in with us.
654
00:40:57,413 --> 00:40:58,413
Please.
655
00:40:59,689 --> 00:41:02,931
This week,
Rick ran 30 hours
656
00:41:02,965 --> 00:41:06,379
which should deliver around
25 ounces of gold.
657
00:41:07,517 --> 00:41:09,000
- You ready, bud?
- All right, bud.
658
00:41:10,793 --> 00:41:15,965
All right. One, two, three,
four, five, six,
659
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,344
seven, eight, nine, ten,
660
00:41:18,862 --> 00:41:21,586
11.93.
661
00:41:22,275 --> 00:41:23,482
11.93.
662
00:41:25,068 --> 00:41:28,275
Worth just $24,000.
663
00:41:29,931 --> 00:41:32,827
It feels kinda light,
if I'm being honest.
I mean, we did test on it.
664
00:41:32,862 --> 00:41:34,482
It's half of what
I tested out as, so...
665
00:41:37,551 --> 00:41:39,000
I don't know, you know,
666
00:41:39,655 --> 00:41:40,482
it is what it is.
667
00:41:40,517 --> 00:41:41,793
Hopefully, it...
668
00:41:41,827 --> 00:41:43,965
hopefully, it'll average
it out close to an ounce
per 100,
669
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,793
but as of right now,
that's half
670
00:41:45,827 --> 00:41:48,517
of what I was expecting,
so it's not very good.
671
00:41:51,275 --> 00:41:53,896
I mean, we're moving along,
we're going, you know,
672
00:41:53,931 --> 00:41:55,758
our total's going north.
673
00:41:56,448 --> 00:41:58,482
It's just, it's moving slow.
674
00:41:58,517 --> 00:42:00,793
I mean, at a certain point,
you know,
675
00:42:00,827 --> 00:42:02,241
things are gonna
start clicking.
676
00:42:02,275 --> 00:42:03,758
We're gonna get more runtime.
677
00:42:03,793 --> 00:42:06,517
I still do need to get some
more people here.
678
00:42:06,551 --> 00:42:08,413
We need to get some
more machines here.
679
00:42:08,448 --> 00:42:10,275
Um, those totals
are gonna get bigger,
680
00:42:10,310 --> 00:42:12,931
so we got a lot
of season left.
681
00:42:12,965 --> 00:42:15,724
But we got a lot
of ground to cover
and get 1,000 ounces, so...
682
00:42:18,344 --> 00:42:20,137
- Can I catch a ride?
-Yeah, yeah.
683
00:42:20,172 --> 00:42:21,758
We gotta move down
to the Bacon Strip.
684
00:42:22,068 --> 00:42:23,551
But...
685
00:42:23,586 --> 00:42:25,689
little concerned that...
686
00:42:25,724 --> 00:42:27,862
the gold was only about
half as good as it should
have been.
687
00:42:40,586 --> 00:42:43,862
I wanna hear more about
the loader stuck
in a tree story.
688
00:42:43,896 --> 00:42:45,103
Who was there?
689
00:42:45,137 --> 00:42:47,034
-Were you there?
- There was a tree.
690
00:42:47,068 --> 00:42:48,965
Like, he was hugging it
pretty much.
691
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,896
That's a new one, man.
We've had a lot of equipment
get stuck over the years.
692
00:42:51,931 --> 00:42:53,206
We've never had one like--
693
00:42:53,241 --> 00:42:54,827
-Wrapper around a tree.
- Wrapped around
a tree.
694
00:42:54,862 --> 00:42:57,931
That's a problem around here,
you make a mistake.
695
00:42:57,965 --> 00:42:59,793
it is a goofy mistake,
696
00:42:59,827 --> 00:43:02,034
it's gonna follow you
for years.
697
00:43:02,068 --> 00:43:05,103
-Mine have.
698
00:43:05,137 --> 00:43:07,137
It'd be nice to get
a gold flow
699
00:43:07,172 --> 00:43:11,172
-going through here,
I know you got Slucifer going.
-You mean like make money?
700
00:43:11,206 --> 00:43:13,379
-Well, no?
-Why don't,
701
00:43:13,413 --> 00:43:15,379
why would we start doing that?
702
00:43:15,413 --> 00:43:17,172
Well, at least Slucifer's
703
00:43:17,206 --> 00:43:18,793
digging up something, right?
704
00:43:18,827 --> 00:43:20,724
Well, did it?
Did the plant get anything?
705
00:43:20,758 --> 00:43:23,620
-Oh, what the hell do I do
with that stuff anyway?
706
00:43:26,034 --> 00:43:28,586
Tyson, I think this
is your machine, isn't it?
707
00:43:28,620 --> 00:43:30,172
Let's see how she did.
708
00:43:30,206 --> 00:43:31,344
That say sluice?
709
00:43:31,379 --> 00:43:33,827
That says sluice.
710
00:43:33,862 --> 00:43:36,724
To keep
his operation
from going under,
711
00:43:36,758 --> 00:43:40,448
Parker is chasing
a 5,000 ounce season.
712
00:43:40,482 --> 00:43:43,827
To hit it,
he needs 300 ounces a week.
713
00:43:44,517 --> 00:43:45,931
All right, here we go.
714
00:43:50,551 --> 00:43:51,862
Sixty,
715
00:43:52,206 --> 00:43:53,241
a hundred,
716
00:43:53,517 --> 00:43:54,793
120,
717
00:43:55,172 --> 00:43:56,379
140,
718
00:43:57,275 --> 00:43:58,793
150,
719
00:43:59,517 --> 00:44:02,310
170,
720
00:44:03,689 --> 00:44:06,000
182.35.
721
00:44:07,724 --> 00:44:10,724
Over 100 ounces
below target.
722
00:44:10,758 --> 00:44:12,034
But still...
723
00:44:12,068 --> 00:44:16,103
worth $364,000.
724
00:44:16,137 --> 00:44:20,137
That gives us a season
of 732.75 ounces.
725
00:44:22,310 --> 00:44:25,206
-We got long ways to go.
- Yep.
726
00:44:25,241 --> 00:44:27,758
-We've really spread ourselves
out, haven't we?
- Oh, yeah.
727
00:44:29,241 --> 00:44:31,517
Thank you, guys, for taking
this seriously.
728
00:44:31,551 --> 00:44:33,103
I know,
with us being spread out,
729
00:44:33,137 --> 00:44:35,379
it puts a lot on
everybody individually.
730
00:44:35,413 --> 00:44:38,137
We got a lot left to do,
so we better go get
after it.
731
00:44:38,172 --> 00:44:39,551
- Yeah.
- Go get
something to eat.
732
00:44:39,586 --> 00:44:40,965
- All right, later.
-You're growing boys.
733
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:44,068
We're just
kind of like,
734
00:44:45,206 --> 00:44:47,862
barely keeping our head
above water
735
00:44:48,862 --> 00:44:50,379
and...
736
00:44:50,413 --> 00:44:52,620
we're used to being on top
of the mountain and now,
we're drowning.
737
00:44:53,275 --> 00:44:55,482
Gold keeps coming in, but...
738
00:44:55,517 --> 00:44:58,103
you know, when you spend
that kind of money,
it's never enough.
739
00:45:00,103 --> 00:45:03,241
But you just have to take
it one day at a time.
