We have to shut Bob down now

until we get a stockpile, a bit of pay build up.

Unfortunately, we're now out of pay here at sulphur.

The last bucket of pay.

Let's shut this down.

Parker schnabel's season is on a knife's edge.

I mean, that's it.

We're shut down now.

It's the right thing to do, but it's pretty up, you know.

With his crew spread thin

after just one week running sulfur creek's pre-stripped ground,

Parker's smash and grab gamble for fast gold

is already on pause.

Time is not our friend this year.

It's been a rough one.

We're well short of that 10,000-ounce target I set this spring,

and it's a little disheartening.

It's a bit scary.

So far this season,

Parker's cuts have delivered less than 3,500 ounces,

way off his gold target.

10,000 ounces this spring is now 8,000,

but we're still nowhere near even 8,000,

so that's a problem.

With sulphur shut down,

Parker's only running two wash plants at dominion creek,

where he's still trying to figure out where the good gold is,

but the young mine boss has a plan.

So, big red moving.

So that's gonna go upstream,

where we have this red gravel

that goes to the white channel gravel,

kind of intermediate level of pay.

To the best of my knowledge,

nobody's ever sluiced that red gravel before.

At the southern end of the 114-acre bridge cut,

big red has sluiced the top pay dirt layer for seven weeks.

Parker now wants to move the wash plant half a mile upstream

to a new spot in the middle of the cut,

where he's already stripped 16 feet of overburden

and found a layer of red gravel

- which Parker thinks could bank him $1. - 5 million in gold.

He's dug out the red 15-foot layer

and stockpiled it ready for sluicing,

leaving a layer of frozen white channel pay

to thaw for next season.

Hey, Jacob, looks like you're at the last bit of pay there,

so let's get this wash plant shut down and get her moved.

Copy that.

It's on plant boss Tyson Lee

to move workhorse big red.

Moving upstream in the bridge cut,

so we have a lot to do and not much time

because Parker wants it running tonight

'cause all it takes is one thing to go wrong

and everything's thrown out of whack.

We are moving big red,

so hopefully that means it's gonna give us a lot of gold,

but we won't know until we start sluicing the red gravel.

All righty, nice and smooth here.

In the 480 excavator, Parker's new hire,

30-year-old Yukon-born Cole Anderson

dregs 50-ton big red.

I grew up gold mining with my grandpa.

But, yeah, I've never moved big red.

It's definitely a little stressful for sure.

Just a lot of weight, and up here it's just super soft.

If the plant tips over or is damaged in the move.

Parker's new plan is dead in the water,

so to help the new young hire,

Tyson jumps in with the loader.

Watch yourself here, Cole.

We're just going across the narrow spot.

You know, that's a long ways down to the bottom there, that's for sure.

Yeah, it would take a lot to stop it

with this little 480.

Just wanna move this thing nice and slow and steady here.

Easy there.

Holy.

That was definitely close there.

I think the loader bucket slipped off,

but we're back in action now.

It's all you, man. Bring her home.

Yep, keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling.

I'd say that's pretty good, Cole.

- Nice job, Cole. - Yeah.

I'm gonna go check with Alec and see how he's making out with the feeder.

Wash plant in place,

with night shift imminent and temperatures dropping,

it's time to move big red's hopper feeder.

We're ready to roll. What do you guys think?

Shall we get her into place?

I don't think we're gonna make it, man.

This tail drum here is.

Man.

It's, like, crumpling in from the outside fins.

Crazy thin and worn, and they're really sharp.

Pretty, putting it gently.

The tail drum being worn out will catch the belt seam

and it'll just rip it apart.

A hopper feeder's tail drum

rolls the belt around the conveyor,

but its worn out jagged edges

will tear the belt if it's not replaced.

How long do you guys figure you need with her?

We actually don't have a backup.

Parker really wanted this thing running for night shift tonight.

Without this feeder, we're not gonna be sluicing.

You know, I was really hoping to get big red up and running,

and, you know, Parker's not gonna be happy about it,

but we're definitely not sluicing tonight, that's for sure.

This cut is a gamble.

We gotta get back where we know the good gold is,

and, you know, it's gonna be a risk.

We've got a limited amount of time this season,

and if this water license doesn't get renewed, you know,

this will be our last chance here,

so I gotta get to pay.

Rick ness is making the greatest gamble of his mining career

in what could be his last season ever at Duncan creek.

Rick's taking out 400

of the 900-plus ounces he made from rally valley

on his new cut, Vegas valley.

I know the guys trust me.

They're gambling their gold bonuses on this.

As expected, they were all in.

Everybody's behind this, and that's what we need to get this done.

But at the end of the day, we gotta haul ass.

We don't know if there's gonna be

a million dollars' worth of gold down there or nothing at all,

so it's a big chance that we're taking to get to the bottom here.

It's a gamble, but Rick seems to like to gamble,

so it should hopefully pay off for us.

We could have all gone home with money in our pockets

and all been doing extremely well,

but we came here to conquer.

Rally valley took me two years to get to the bottom,

and this cut's just as deep as that.

I mean, it's 210 feet to bedrock,

and I've only got two months to get to the bottom, not two years, so

I mean, right now, these trucks are setting the pace, you know,

they're hauling about 10,000 yards of overburden a day.

You know, these guys are making great progress,

but there's a lot riding on this.

It's gonna be a stretch.

At Duncan creek,

half a mile downstream from rally valley,

sits Vegas valley, where Rick's risking it all

to find the same nugget-rich pay streak

that lies under 160 feet of overburden.

To dig down, he's bench cutting,

carving step-like zones into the hillside

to reduce the risk of landslides

and reach the 50-foot pay layer

that Rick hopes will deliver over $2 million in gold.

80-plus degrees.

It's not my kinda day.

It's dusty as out here right now.

It's just a dust bowl,

so it makes for a long day when you're chewing on dust.

To hit pay

and run it all before the end of the season,

Rick's crew must haul at least 230 truckloads of overburden daily.

Despite the heat right now,

everybody is doing a really good job.

To be as efficient as possible,

Rick's sending the full truckloads downhill

to dump the overburden,

while empty trucks make the uphill run,

cutting fuel costs.

We'd actually like to come in here

and not spend very much money.

The less we spend, the better it is.

It makes a good, efficient operation.

We're trying to keep the roads as good as we can,

but, I mean, they get pretty beat up.

We are pushing these rock trucks pretty hard.

In Rick's Vegas valley cut

the operation is at a standstill.

Are you all right? Are you okay?

All right. I'll be right up there.

Sounds like Jason rolled a truck.

Timing.

Holy...

Right on the edge.

This ground's really, really soft.

This edge is a little too dangerous.

The whole machine's just gonna slide where it wants to.

We need this truck rolled back onto its tires

and hope that there's no damage to it.

We just gotta get it done quick.

I'm just getting all the weight out of the box, I'm scraping the dirt out.

To set the 30-ton truck back on its wheels,

Rick uses the 460 excavator,

pushing from the back of the box

to avoid damaging the hydraulic lift cylinders.

Holy.

Watch my side.

Whoa, now. Hey.

Lower it down.

- Whoa! - Easy.

Forward.

There we go.

Yay!

The truck went back over pretty easily.

We got lucky.

I mean, we lost a little bit of time, but the truck's not down,

it's back on the road, we're back in business.

Everything's okay. Nobody's hurt.

No damage to the truck.

We'll start hauling some more loads down here.

Well, back to stripping Vegas valley.

We've still got a long ways to go.

It's gonna take everything we've got.

It's good to finally be sluicing.

It's been a long time coming,

but at least now we're loosening.

100 miles away, Kevin beets, first-year mine boss

and eldest son of "king of the klondike" Tony

has finally hit gold.

I have had no reservations

that I was going to succeed and do this

because I've been doing this for 20 years at Tony's camp.

The only difference since last year

is that it's now all my money.

Kevin's invested nearly $2 million of his life savings

to get his mine up and running,

but so far he's produced just 33 ounces

of his 1,000-ounce target.

But the rookie mine boss has a plan

to double his weekly gold hauls.

We're gonna have to run night shift

if we wanna get 1,000 ounces this year.

So we're gonna kick that off tonight.

And if night shift goes well,

then we're running double the hours,

so that should mean double the gold.

Fingers crossed.

So, all that's gonna matter getting all the hours on the wash plant

as we possibly can to hit our target.

Anything to keep that wash plant running full tilt.

With Brennan digging pay nonstop,

Kevin's tasking two new young hires

with keeping the plant running 24/7.

First up on night shift,

Kayden foot, who's been on the crew just two weeks.

- Howdy. - Hey.

22-year-old Kayden is from a mining family

and has five years' experience running wash plants.

You ready for your first night shift?

Looking forward to it, you know.

Liar.

Hopefully, it's a nice, boring night.

We'll have a radio in the trailer,

so if anything happens, just give us a call.

We should be able to hear you.

And yeah, anything up, let us know.

Sounds like a plan.

- All right. Well, have a good one. - Yeah. Thanks.

So, Kevin's given me a big responsibility

on night shift here.

Gotta keep an eye on the plant,

keep an eye on the pumps.

I've gotta make sure that the conveyors are running nice and smooth

and there's always water going to the plant.

It's a lot to take on.

To keep the plant sluicing at 150 yards an hour,

Kayden has to feed pay dirt into the hopper

and clear the tailings every eight minutes.

It's a little stressful.

You can't see for half of your shift with how dark it is.

And I'm all by myself,

I don't have anyone to help me make certain decisions or anything.

And there's lots of wildlife out here,

so you just gotta keep your head on a swivel

and make sure that you stay safe

because, if something happens to you out here on nights,

no one will find you until the morning.

Long days for sure.

I'm pretty tired.

How come there's no material coming off of that?

On the brink of Kayden ending his first night shift,

the conveyor has broken down...

It's not good.

Preventing the gold-bearing pay dirt

from reaching the wash plant.

Hey, Brennan?

Kev? Got a copy? Anybody?

Anyone?

Kev? Got a copy? Anybody?

Anyone?

Kevin's gonna be pissed.

On his first night shift for Kevin beets,

young hire Kayden has shut down the wash plant.

Thank.

Hey, Kayden.

I came to look at the feeder

and the drive wheel was moving...,

but the belt wasn't.

Let's see.

The belt is split.

Right in the middle too, isn't it?

Torn apart at the zipper.

Well, this sucks.

A hopper feeder's 12-foot belt has split

under the weight of pay dirt piling up in the hopper.

Was there anything I did wrong with that?

There's not really anything you could have done

to have foreseen this happening, honestly.

I've known the belt has had a couple of cracks in it for a while now,

and it finally went.

So, we have a project on our hands.

Do you want me to, like,

get set up to start shoveling? Like...

No, no. We don't wanna you for night shift.

You should head to bed, Kayden. I'll line some folks up.

Okay.

It's a really thing to happen.

That's gonna be a lot of shoveling for the guys on day shift.

Hopefully they get it fixed today.

Everybody watch out in case that falls.

Before Kevin can repair the belt,

the day crew will have to dig out 12 tons of dirt

blocking the hopper.

Hard work.

I don't wanna be shoveling all day.

It's just like, night shift comes through

and it's kind of chaotic

and then I have to clean it up.

Job.

How's it going, you jagaloon?

I see I missed a lot of the hard part I'm excited about.

Someone was grumpy this morning about shoveling.

When I woke up and I was like, "are you serious?"

The guy that done this gets to go home and go to sleep.

- Well, it's an accident. - I know, but...

It's definitely a big blow to us.

Things were set up for success

and then this happens today

and it just pisses me off to no end,

but it's nobody's fault. It's part of mining.

Now the hopper is clear,

Kevin can drag out the feeder and bush fix the ripped belt.

Coming down to about 11 hours now.

Still have to get to the actual repair,

so zoom, zoom, zoom.

To do a quickie, we've got the belt all lined up.

We shouldn't need to cut it.

- The next step is... - Put the belt clips on.

Okay, that's it.

Last ones in. Get sluicing tonight.

After losing 16 hours of sluicing,

Kevin and the day crew, have the hopper feeder's belt fixed,

just in time for Kayden to take on night shift again.

I feel a little guilty that everyone had to shovel that out

and I didn't have to,

but it's not my fault that it broke on me,

it's just part of how it goes.

Everyone's clear?

Yeah? Okay.

Starting.

Get ready to turn on the feeder.

Yeah, I just hope it doesn't break down tonight

because we need to keep sluicing to hit our target.

You know, it was great that Kayden spotted that, he keeps his eyes open.

So he did the best he could, and, I mean,

there's nothing else he could have done.

That's a long time to be down.

That is a lot of sluicing hours we lost,

but we think Kayden is still the best one for the job, so...

With a small crew, everyone is giving it their all.

We could have been sluicing

if the feeder didn't need working on,

but it's the cards we were dealt,

so we just gotta make the best of it.

Next door on dominion creek,

Parker schnabel's plan to bank some quick gold

from a new section of red gravel pay dirt in the bridge cut

is finally getting back on track.

We need to get that red gravel layer sluiced out,

gold in the jar.

After two down days

waiting for a new tail drum for the conveyor,

Tyson's pushing to get big red sluicing.

Night shift is supposed to be here any second now,

so we gotta get this wash plant up and running.

What we're gonna be waiting on

is Alec and Liam to finish off with the hopper.

Hey, Alec, I hope you're making good headway on that feeder

'cause we're needing it.

Yeah, copy that.

We'll do our best here.

Hey, he wants it now.

Let's get this thig together.

In the lay-down yard,

the new tail drum has finally arrived.

Let's just pull this guy out.

Ready, Liam? Here we go.

- Okay. - Heave.

Let's go.

Using a hoist to take the weight of the 200-pound drum...

Yeah!

Alec and Liam slide the old drum from the shaft...

We're doing this quick and dirty.

Then fit the new tail drum onto the shaft...

It looks pretty heavy.

Just slide it into it.

And hoist it back into position in the hopper feeder.

Here we go.

- Nice work. - Yeah.

It's taken forever.

Look at that. Our hopper feeder's here.

Looks like the guys already have the runs situated.

It's starting to look like a wash plant.

- Looks pretty dead-center, man. - -Yeah.

Here we go.

There we go.

Fire it up.

I see Alec's giving me the thumbs up there,

so I'm gonna go ahead and throw in the first scoop.

Here goes nothing.

Parker's gambling the red gravel will deliver enough gold

to stay on track for an 8,000-ounce season,

but it's a desperate roll of the dice into the unknown.

We have a lot of red gravel ahead of us to sluice here.

Maybe that's where all the gold's been hiding, under the bridge cut.

We need every flake we can get this year.

There's a lot of doubts of tackling this project,

such a big project here at the end of the season like this,

but with the way things are going,

I know I made the right decision.

Rick ness is digging for a $2 million gold bonanza

at the bottom of Vegas valley

on a mission to shift over 1,600 truckloads of overburden

by the end of the week.

Back to the top, big guy.

All the way to the top?

You guys are gonna come down this way.

Ten-four.

These roads suck.

Do you wanna know what it's like

driving a rock truck all day long?

Nothing but parking lot speed bumps,

like a mile of them straight ahead,

and you've got to hit every one of those speed bumps 20 miles an hour,

and you can't stop.

Hell on earth.

Ryan Kent uses the loader as a makeshift grater

to flatten the dirt road.

And nobody wants to bounce off the ceiling 12 hours a day.

Plus, I don't like to see my equipment torn up and I gotta repair it.

Don't know what that is.

Really loud noise that shouldn't be there.

Hey, Ryan, you got a copy?

Yeah, what are you doing?

I got a loud noise coming from this truck.

I don't know what it is.

It's kind of when it shifted,

it's making a big clunk.

Just give it a park over by my truck,

and I'll go and jump and look at it.

Okay, 10-4.

First thing I noticed,

we got a bunch of the drop box axle oil coming out.

The whole thing is...

Completely soaked in there.

This is going to make a mess. I feel it.

To figure out the problem,

Ryan will test the oil in the drop box,

which transmits engine power

to the six wheels of the all-terrain truck.

All right, now we are draining

the fluids out of the drop box.

That is ugly.

It's not a very good color.

Let me pull this plug out.

So that... Is big chunks of metal...

That stick to the magnet. That is a...

Pretty damn good-sized piece there.

This is nasty.

What are we looking at?

We are looking at a hurt drop box.

How hurt?

Drop that plug and we got metal on it.

I'd say it's time to put the new one in.

- That's an expensive job. - Well

we can't have a truck down.

If you want this thing going,

you're going to have to get one of those coming.

Then we don't have a choice, yeah.

I can get it done.

I'm definitely going to have to call somebody,

see if we can't borrow a crane,

'cause I don't have one.

If that's what needs to happen,

just make it happen.

- Yeah. - All right.

Make it happen.

- All right, dude. Moving on. - Thanks, man.

A drop box, that's a big job.

It's a big problem.

The 34-ton rock truck

has a drop box

located between the engine and the drive axles

that sends power

to all six of the machine's wheels.

Metal fragments have shorn off inside the box,

causing the gears to fail beyond repair.

Ryan will perform a precision maneuver

with a crane, threading its boom

through the door of the truck's cab.

Then lowering its block and line through its floor

so it can be attached to the 800-pound drop box.

Take its weight

and then lower it down to the ground

to remove it safely.

Finally, a new drop box will then be moved in,

craned up,

and bolted into place to complete the fix.

Right there.

To help fit Rick's new $35,000 drop box,

Ryan's called in crane operator Ryan brown.

Right now, Ryan's trying to get the crane lined up,

'cause you've only got a certain amount of room

to get into this hole right here.

So pretty tight fit.

Is that good?

- That's... That's right, dude. - Where you want it?

- That's in it. - Okay.

- That's perfect. - Excellent.

First try!

Things like these drop boxes, they're not cheap.

I mean, you're talking 30, 35 grand

for this part right here.

It's a hell of a gamble to spend this kind of money

and do this at the end of the season,

but, Rick wants to do this.

And we all got faith in him,

so I think he's making the right call.

All right, man.

- Okay. - There's tension.

Yep.

- Okay. - Okay, you ready?

Yep.

Coming down.

She's going down good.

You are touching the ground.

Excellent.

Sweet.

Now it's time for the new one.

So far, so good.

- Beauty, up, up, and away. - Yeah.

There we go. Easy.

I think we're ready to put the bolts through.

She's in.

Dropbox is in. Everything's mounted up.

Let's get it to work.

The truck's running great.

Gonna keep running as long as we have to

to get down to the pay.

The rock truck is back in the game,

but it's a race to make up lost time

to stand any chance

of shifting their 1,600 truckloads

by the end of the week.

Well,

I'm very relieved that we've got three trucks running.

Now we get back in track.

But it costs us time, and...

Time is what we don't have right now

to get down to the gold in Vegas valley.

So it's going to be tight.

Starting day shift now.

At scribner creek,

while foreman Brennan digs pay,

Kevin has tasked his young guns

with running his wash plant 24/7,

desperate to double his gold haul this week.

I think he's got the hopper full for me.

It's hunter canning's turn

to run a 12-hour solo shift.

Morning.

How did everything go?

Everything went good.

No shutdowns last night.

- Hopper's fine and everything? - Yeah.

Yeah, no jam ups.

Well, I'm glad everything went smooth because

I don't want anything to happen.

Well, exactly.

Hopefully it stays that way.

Well, breakfast is waiting for you,

- so you're good to go. - -Perfect.

Well, have a great day shift.

All right. Thanks.

Another day, another dollar.

These long hours, some people can get complacent

and not paying attention to everything.

If I don't work fast enough

and I can't keep the plant going,

somebody else will be taking over for me.

It's the way this game works.

It's not all rainbows and butterflies.

Hey, Brennan, you got a copy?

Nothing's going into the plant.

Shut it down!

This is all I wanted.

I'm sweating.

So... Something jammed up there really good.

Now what's going on?

Well, there's obviously a rock or something jammed in there.

It's really bony material.

You can see it's sticking above the belt.

It's jammed in with another rock.

I don't know if we have to shovel all this again.

None of us want to do that again.

Hopefully we can get that one broke free

and then it'll all just start moving again.

I swear there's a curse

against the sluicing this year.

It's driving me nuts.

There we go.

Got it.

- Yeah. - Yep.

We'll turn it on

and then we'll just see if it starts to move.

Ready?

Looks like it's moving.

Yay!

Rock removed, hunter's quick spot means

they're back up and running

after less than an hour of downtime.

I'm glad everything went well.

I don't think I messed up at all.

The plant's going.

I'm feeding the plant.

And hopefully they keep me in this position.

As long as she does a good job

keeping an eye on it like that,

you know, we'll just keep running.

Any downtime sucks at this point.

Winter's on its way.

Ice cold at night already.

Kevin can't afford any more breakdowns

if he's to double his gold total this week.

With our late start to hit our 1,000 ounces, we...

We really got to hit her.

That's really rude.

At dominion creek,

Parker unwinds with his cleanup crew

before he weighs this week's gold.

- Hey, hey. - Hey, hey.

So how's the gold route?

Pretty good.

I think we're getting along.

I'm sitting right here

watching you say "the guy's a jerk."

You've been doing a great job.

You've taken to it really well.

And I really appreciate it.

Chris really appreciates the help.

I think he would be dead right now

if you hadn't stepped in.

So he made something for you.

For you.

Dog tag for nacho.

That's awesome.

- Thank you. I appreciate it. - You bet.

Well, we appreciate your help.

You've been a lifesaver.

Congratulations, nacho.

Wow.

It's amazing.

I'm just jamming, hauling some dirt.

Nice.

In Vegas valley,

in the push to move a mountain of overburden,

even the mine boss is getting his wheels dirty.

I'm very happy with the progress we're making.

We're such a small crew,

I think we're moving a lot of dirt very fast.

All the rock truck drivers are doing an amazing job.

They're moving along good.

And, you know, they don't complain too much.

There's no bitching.

Everything's rocking and rolling.

Everything's smooth. Everybody is

in a piece of equipment

and every piece of equipment's working.

We're moving forward.

After seven days of nonstop trucking,

Rick and his crew have shifted 1,890 truckloads,

acing their target by 290 loads,

removing over 80,000 tons of dirt

to get them closer to the gold.

Yeehaw!

There. Yeah.

That just goes to show

how hard these guys have worked.

I mean, we've moved a lot more dirt

than I expected to, and a lot quicker.

And we're gonna hopefully get

some more sluicing time out of it,

which means more gold,

you know, it's all gonna pay off.

In just two weeks, Rick's crew has removed

nearly 70 feet of overburden,

but still have another 90 feet to go

before hitting pay.

Their Vegas valley gamble

is far from a done deal.

Hopefully, we can get through this layer

before we break something or...

Before it slows us down too much

'cause we definitely got a lot of dirt to move

and not a whole lot of time to do it.

Drop it.

Drop it. Drop it.

Ey.

What a nice day for a fire.

- Beautiful. - Yeah.

You got steaks to cook up for us?

- I hope so. - You know how hungry I am all the time.

At scribner creek,

Kevin's worked day and night all week.

And it's time to find out if his 24/7 plan

has doubled his gold.

It's a little bit different?

Just having your first gold weigh all alone

without Tony and minnie anyway.

At least this way we can get some words in edgewise.

Yeah.

Pretty big week though, I guess?

Belt tear and shoveling the hopper out.

It's been pretty amazing

with the small crew we've had.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

It's very good. I think the crew is doing

- very well, honestly. - Yeah, me too.

- I mean... - yeah.

It's always nice to just let

competent people do their jobs.

Yeah.

Are we ready to weigh some gold?

Last week, Kevin's first gold weigh

delivered just 33 ounces.

Okay.

Four,

six,

21, 30,

50,

70, 80,

90,

115, 122.4.

Worth $306,000.

That's a good week.

Kevin's decision to run nights

has more than quadrupled his gold,

bringing his total to 155.4 ounces.

Coming off of a 30 ouncer to a 120,

that's beautiful.

Well, guys, high five on that.

Better.

We pull at least that out every week,

we're on a good stretch.

Yeah.

Okay, cool, guys. Well, I'm going to head back down

and make sure everybody's giving her hell still.

- And... - Sounds good.

I mean, that was almost 100 ounce difference

from our first cleanup.

So that means that we are doing things right.

It feels really good

to finally get some gold from the ground,

like a decent amount,

and start paying off some of the bills.

Now we just got to go to getting more,

'cause it's still a long way to 1,000 ounces.

Hi, buddy.

- Hey. - Bosco.

Hey, pup. You've been rolling around

in something.

This week, Parker's been running two wash plants

at dominion creek.

Time to find out

if his bold play to sluice red gravel

has paid off.

Red has moved.

We're running a red gravel.

We've got a good plant put together.

Want to see how we did?

Let's check it out.

First up, the bridge cut.

Parker's hoping its four-day run

will deliver at least 80 ounces.

- Ready? - Yep.

- Pour, pour, pour. - Ten.

Twenty.

Forty.

Eighty.

Is it going to break 100?

A hundred and ten.

One-twenty.

136.5.

- Holy. - There you go.

Worth over $341,000, the four-day red gravel run

has exceeded Parker's expectations.

You broke 100, buddy. You finally did her.

- Yeah. - Wow.

The red gravel is not worth throwing away.

Yeah.

- That helps a lot. - That's true.

Right.

So Mitch, you want to see how Roxanne did?

Yeah, let's check it out.

All right.

This season, the long cut has delivered

around 140 ounces a week.

Here we go.

Let her rip.

20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 140, 150.

Keep her going. 180, 190, 200, 230, 240, 270,

285.1.

Worth more than $712,000,

the long cut's best haul of the season so far.

Not bad, man?

Yeah, there's your almost 300, man.

Now it's starting to look

- like dominion creek. - Yeah.

- Wow. - There we go.

We may have hit a hot spot.

That's good.

The week's total,

it was 421.6 ounces,

gave us a season total,

3,867.8 ounces.

So the number's coming up.

You know?

Keep it coming.

Be nice to have three plants going,

but these two are performing real well right now.

All right.

- All righty, fellas. - Well

I'll bag this stuff up.

We'll try to get three plants for you again, Chris.

Great. Love it.

I'd hate for you to have idle time down here.

Thanks, man.

Parker's red gravel move has paid off,

boosting his dominion creek haul

and potentially putting him back on track

for his 8,000-ounce season.

And right now, Parker's working

on trying to work every angle he can here

to make money, produce gold,

while we're getting down to good material.

Didn't take me long after meeting Parker to realize

he is very good at business.

He is very sharp, and he knows numbers,

and he knows how to make money.
