1
00:00:13,344 --> 00:00:15,655
- There she is, Nate.
- Whoa.
2
00:00:15,689 --> 00:00:18,482
All the way
from Arizona,
our little baby Roach.
3
00:00:19,689 --> 00:00:22,517
All right.
Good to see it.
Whoo!
4
00:00:22,551 --> 00:00:26,103
This thing ran
great last year,
million-dollar season.
5
00:00:26,137 --> 00:00:27,793
And, guess what,
we're going to top it
this year.
6
00:00:31,137 --> 00:00:33,517
That little plant we have
right now came with the claim.
7
00:00:33,551 --> 00:00:34,931
This ain't going
to cut it for us.
8
00:00:34,965 --> 00:00:36,931
So we're going to get
past 600 ounce this year.
9
00:00:36,965 --> 00:00:38,724
We've got to hurry up
and get going.
10
00:00:40,172 --> 00:00:42,620
You know, we gotta fix
this thing up,
because this baby's got
11
00:00:42,655 --> 00:00:43,793
to make some money.
12
00:00:44,896 --> 00:00:46,413
It's our baby girl, it's here.
13
00:00:46,448 --> 00:00:47,655
I'm excited.
14
00:01:02,586 --> 00:01:03,758
Ready to go?
15
00:01:03,793 --> 00:01:04,965
Go.
16
00:01:06,655 --> 00:01:08,965
That's the sound of
money right there, baby.
17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,965
Gonna catch some gold,
start to turn
this thing around.
18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,241
There she goes.
19
00:01:13,275 --> 00:01:16,586
Morning in Alaska,
Dave Turin and his crew
20
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:19,586
are one week into their
Alaskan mining venture.
21
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:21,034
Come on.
22
00:01:21,068 --> 00:01:24,068
Now, it's time
to up production
with their bespoke
23
00:01:24,103 --> 00:01:27,448
100-yard-per-hour
money-maker, The Roach.
24
00:01:28,344 --> 00:01:29,448
Hold on, Nate.
25
00:01:29,482 --> 00:01:30,827
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa.
26
00:01:30,862 --> 00:01:33,413
*bleep*. Oh,
for *bleep* sakes.
27
00:01:33,448 --> 00:01:34,586
Back up.
28
00:01:35,793 --> 00:01:37,793
Let's throw some
blocks under there.
29
00:01:40,275 --> 00:01:41,517
Go ahead.
30
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,275
Easy.
31
00:01:45,758 --> 00:01:47,482
You're good, you're good.
32
00:01:47,517 --> 00:01:48,758
Bring her out.
33
00:01:50,413 --> 00:01:54,965
Now, if we run The Roach,
nine ounces a day,
six days a week,
34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,793
so we're over 50 ounces
a week, that's what
we need to hit our goal.
35
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:00,310
Time to start walking, baby.
36
00:02:00,344 --> 00:02:01,793
Come on, Nathan.
37
00:02:02,793 --> 00:02:05,000
Operated
by a cabled remote,
38
00:02:05,034 --> 00:02:09,517
Nate must walk The Roach
four miles across
fast flowing rivers
39
00:02:09,551 --> 00:02:12,344
and rough wilderness roads.
40
00:02:12,379 --> 00:02:16,586
But to reach its final
resting place,
the 17-ton machine
41
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:21,620
must cross the raging
Glacier Creek via
an old wooden bridge.
42
00:02:23,172 --> 00:02:25,172
It is what it is,
the road is pretty rough.
43
00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:29,034
The American dream
as a gold miner is Alaska.
44
00:02:29,068 --> 00:02:31,517
I mean, you always
read about it,
you hear about it,
45
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:34,310
you know,
and that's what always
wanted me to come up here.
46
00:02:35,482 --> 00:02:39,068
I knew it's gonna be
harder on our families,
47
00:02:39,103 --> 00:02:42,517
but they also are passionate
about what we do.
48
00:02:42,551 --> 00:02:45,000
It's an incredible adventure.
49
00:02:46,206 --> 00:02:47,931
We gotta cross. Find
somehow or another.
50
00:02:47,965 --> 00:02:49,413
So, we have to figure
that out next.
51
00:02:49,448 --> 00:02:51,000
We got to start
making some gold.
52
00:02:53,793 --> 00:02:57,551
Up at the claim,
the rest of the team
is hard at work.
53
00:03:04,655 --> 00:03:06,344
This is Old Dan's wash plant.
54
00:03:06,379 --> 00:03:08,137
She runs pretty slow.
55
00:03:08,172 --> 00:03:10,965
So I'm not used to that.
Usually I'm running
56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,172
and gunning all day,
but better than nothing.
57
00:03:15,068 --> 00:03:19,137
Last week, running
Old Dan at 35 yards per hour,
58
00:03:19,172 --> 00:03:21,206
the crew made eight
and a quarter ounces
59
00:03:21,241 --> 00:03:24,000
of gold from a 1,000 yards
of pay dirt.
60
00:03:26,896 --> 00:03:30,482
Seeing that gold just,
I think I have a little
bit of gold fever.
61
00:03:31,862 --> 00:03:35,827
I think I made
the right decision
by accepting this job.
62
00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:44,379
But overnight rain
and rising groundwater
floods the pappy cut.
63
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:50,137
Alaska has
so much water.
64
00:03:50,172 --> 00:03:53,379
In this site, we're right
down in the belly of a big-ass
draw,
65
00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:56,137
a river running
by us, waterfall coming in.
66
00:03:57,827 --> 00:04:01,275
Every morning we wake up,
it's the same damn
water situation.
67
00:04:01,310 --> 00:04:05,655
The lake that he's got
to be pulling
material out of.
68
00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:11,517
We want our pay as dry
as we can possibly keep it.
69
00:04:11,551 --> 00:04:15,689
Can't have your loaders
working in a frickin'
swimming pool.
70
00:04:15,724 --> 00:04:18,724
Don't want to dig in water,
you lose all your gold,
71
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,896
your material, up
out the sides.
72
00:04:20,931 --> 00:04:24,172
You got more water,
you get less pay.
73
00:04:24,206 --> 00:04:27,034
The pay
Andrew screens
through the grizzlies
74
00:04:27,068 --> 00:04:30,758
is saturated with water
from the flooded cut.
75
00:04:30,793 --> 00:04:35,655
Too much water in the pay
increases the risk
of washing gold straight
76
00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:37,862
out of Old Dan's sluice box.
77
00:04:41,896 --> 00:04:43,793
Andrew, you got a copy?
78
00:04:43,827 --> 00:04:45,241
Go ahead.
79
00:04:45,275 --> 00:04:48,034
I'm going to bring
that screen to me
80
00:04:48,068 --> 00:04:49,724
and we're going to raise
it up to higher ground.
81
00:04:49,758 --> 00:04:53,482
That would be a huge
help if you can screen.
82
00:04:53,517 --> 00:04:56,965
Been kind of a pain in
the ass with all this water.
83
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,379
Thinking the best bet
is going to be to clear
84
00:05:02,413 --> 00:05:04,620
this right here
in front of me.
85
00:05:06,034 --> 00:05:08,275
Have Andrew bring
that screen plant in.
86
00:05:09,517 --> 00:05:10,758
Ooh.
87
00:05:10,793 --> 00:05:12,103
There we go.
88
00:05:15,379 --> 00:05:18,586
Now, just nice and slow.
89
00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:21,379
Don't want this*bleep*
coming off.
90
00:05:21,413 --> 00:05:24,586
At my previous job,
I was a talc miner,
91
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:27,793
working at a big corporation
talc mine in Montana.
92
00:05:27,827 --> 00:05:31,862
This is the most
challenging mine
I've ever operated at,
93
00:05:31,896 --> 00:05:37,310
mostly because I'm a beginner
coming into Alaska,
first-time gold miner.
94
00:05:37,344 --> 00:05:39,793
It's... it's going to be
a steep learning curve.
95
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:43,137
Go back a little bit.
96
00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:46,413
- Down. You're out. You're out.
- Whoo!
97
00:05:50,620 --> 00:05:53,413
Now we'll see how that works.
98
00:05:53,448 --> 00:05:56,068
Jason will now
screen the pay directly
99
00:05:56,103 --> 00:05:59,586
through the grizzlies,
freeing up Andrew to load.
100
00:06:01,379 --> 00:06:02,793
Yeah.
101
00:06:02,827 --> 00:06:06,206
So, we're going
to make it happen, cap'in.
102
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:11,103
So much better.
We'll be *bleep* cruising
now in no time.
103
00:06:16,413 --> 00:06:17,517
Good job, guys.
104
00:06:17,551 --> 00:06:19,206
Way to adapt on the fly.
105
00:06:19,241 --> 00:06:21,034
I think we can move
some dirt now.
106
00:06:25,896 --> 00:06:28,862
Moving the grizzlies
keeps the pay pile dry
107
00:06:28,896 --> 00:06:33,896
and Old Dan in business,
but it's a temporary fix.
108
00:06:36,724 --> 00:06:39,931
I've only got three
six-inch pumps. So what
we've been doing
109
00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:43,413
is, to keep up, we put two
six-inch pumps de-watering.
110
00:06:43,448 --> 00:06:46,586
We're down to one pump
on Old Dan's wash plant.
111
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,000
Well, guess what?
112
00:06:48,034 --> 00:06:51,000
I need one of these
six-inch pumps to get
water to The Roach.
113
00:06:51,034 --> 00:06:54,517
So I'm really robbing
Peter to pay Paul.
114
00:06:54,551 --> 00:06:57,931
I pull the second pump
from over there in the pit,
115
00:06:57,965 --> 00:07:00,275
and they can't dig
the pit deeper and get down
116
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:03,103
to the good gold
because I need it to run.
117
00:07:03,137 --> 00:07:08,034
So, long story short,
I need new pumps.
118
00:07:10,586 --> 00:07:13,000
[dramatic music playing
119
00:07:16,275 --> 00:07:17,862
Track's just
a little loose on it.
120
00:07:17,896 --> 00:07:19,241
Kicking over on me.
121
00:07:20,413 --> 00:07:21,724
Try turning this a little bit.
122
00:07:22,931 --> 00:07:24,689
Got that one back on.
123
00:07:24,724 --> 00:07:29,655
After three hours,
The Roach is just a mile
into its four-mile crawl.
124
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:32,862
That part there
was real rocky.
125
00:07:32,896 --> 00:07:34,068
It gets worse.
126
00:07:35,517 --> 00:07:36,862
*bleep*
127
00:07:36,896 --> 00:07:38,620
The tracks
are kicking over on me.
128
00:07:42,103 --> 00:07:43,310
Damn it!
129
00:07:46,172 --> 00:07:47,448
Hey, Dave.
130
00:07:47,482 --> 00:07:49,758
I'm not going to walk
it no more,
because I tried it twice.
131
00:07:49,793 --> 00:07:53,413
If it happens again,
next thing you know, you got
a track on the ground.
132
00:07:53,448 --> 00:07:54,586
All right, buddy.
133
00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:56,344
See you in a little bit.
Thanks. Bye.
134
00:07:57,482 --> 00:07:59,172
Every time it hits a rock
or something like that,
135
00:07:59,206 --> 00:08:01,241
it kicks it out
from the bottom rollers.
136
00:08:01,275 --> 00:08:04,379
The last thing we need
is a track falling off, so,
it's gonna take probably
137
00:08:04,413 --> 00:08:07,000
20 minutes to get a truck,
so we can take the cover off,
138
00:08:07,034 --> 00:08:09,206
put some grease in it,
tighten up a little bit.
139
00:08:09,241 --> 00:08:11,241
I just don't want
the track to fall off, so--
140
00:08:16,724 --> 00:08:17,793
*bleep*.
141
00:08:17,827 --> 00:08:18,965
Just this side?
142
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,586
Yeah. It came all way
off the bottom rollers.
143
00:08:23,448 --> 00:08:27,793
This thing's really
not designed to walk
for four miles down
144
00:08:27,827 --> 00:08:30,310
an Alaska bush road.
145
00:08:31,482 --> 00:08:32,517
What do you think?
146
00:08:32,551 --> 00:08:33,724
Look in there.
147
00:08:35,379 --> 00:08:38,344
Oh, *bleep*.
That's a button fitting.
148
00:08:39,275 --> 00:08:40,827
I didn't expect that.
149
00:08:40,862 --> 00:08:42,241
I didn't expect
it either.
150
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:45,310
That sucks.
151
00:08:45,344 --> 00:08:46,931
You know,
on the Lower 48, you know,
152
00:08:46,965 --> 00:08:50,379
you can get anything
you want readily available.
Here, you can't.
153
00:08:50,413 --> 00:08:51,931
Sometimes, you just
have to make it work.
154
00:08:53,103 --> 00:08:56,413
Well, the problem
is this track,
see how loose it is?
155
00:08:57,586 --> 00:08:59,827
We've got to get this
piston pushed out
156
00:08:59,862 --> 00:09:02,275
and you've got to grease it,
but we got the wrong grease fitting.
157
00:09:04,862 --> 00:09:06,413
This is the grease button.
158
00:09:06,448 --> 00:09:08,896
It's got a little sleeve.
It kind of goes over this,
then it greases it up.
159
00:09:08,931 --> 00:09:10,586
But we don't have one,
160
00:09:10,620 --> 00:09:13,379
so we're going to, basically,
just put this on there
and make it work.
161
00:09:13,413 --> 00:09:16,482
We'll be good to go here
in just a few minutes.
162
00:09:16,517 --> 00:09:19,655
It's not ideal,
but you gotta do
what you gotta do right now.
163
00:09:21,827 --> 00:09:24,965
As The Roach crawls,
the adjusters in each track
164
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,482
give the exact amount
of tension for any terrain.
165
00:09:28,517 --> 00:09:31,965
But now the left hand
adjuster has lost pressure,
166
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,103
forcing the track
to loosen and buckle.
167
00:09:35,137 --> 00:09:39,275
Nate's challenge,
re-pressurize the adjuster
with grease.
168
00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:42,379
But without the right fitting
for the European machine,
169
00:09:42,413 --> 00:09:47,000
the mechanic must force
a connection with
the American-made grease gun.
170
00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:50,862
It's getting tight.
171
00:09:52,137 --> 00:09:53,275
I agree.
172
00:09:53,310 --> 00:09:54,620
I think you're in business.
173
00:09:54,655 --> 00:09:56,551
Because I'm telling you,
it's only got
a fewer threads on there.
174
00:09:56,586 --> 00:09:57,862
It could pop off.
175
00:09:58,862 --> 00:10:01,379
If Nate's bush fix fails...
176
00:10:01,413 --> 00:10:04,586
We put a little tension on it,
so it doesn't lose it.
177
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:08,448
...The Roach
could be stranded for days
until parts arrive.
178
00:10:09,379 --> 00:10:10,586
There you go.
179
00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:12,275
Keep that tension on it.
180
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,172
Keep it going.
181
00:10:14,206 --> 00:10:15,793
And this is going
to start happening,
182
00:10:15,827 --> 00:10:17,655
it starts kicking these
rocks up out of the ground.
183
00:10:18,241 --> 00:10:19,413
Keep it going.
184
00:10:21,103 --> 00:10:22,827
Come on, baby.
Come on.
185
00:10:22,862 --> 00:10:23,931
Good.
186
00:10:23,965 --> 00:10:25,103
You got it, buddy.
187
00:10:25,137 --> 00:10:27,655
Yeah, it ain't too loose.
188
00:10:27,689 --> 00:10:28,724
Pretty tight.
189
00:10:30,103 --> 00:10:31,206
Whoa!
190
00:10:31,241 --> 00:10:32,379
Yeah!
191
00:10:32,413 --> 00:10:33,586
Good job, Nate.
192
00:10:34,344 --> 00:10:35,724
Little bush fix.
193
00:10:35,758 --> 00:10:37,137
Tighten it up on there.
194
00:10:37,172 --> 00:10:39,344
It ain't ideal but, look,
195
00:10:39,379 --> 00:10:41,000
we're moving in.
196
00:10:41,034 --> 00:10:44,206
Once we get it in there
and get it set, I don't care
about the tracks no more.
197
00:10:44,241 --> 00:10:45,379
If she's set, she's home.
198
00:10:48,241 --> 00:10:49,379
Coming up...
199
00:10:49,413 --> 00:10:51,689
The 17-ton Roach...
200
00:10:51,724 --> 00:10:53,689
If this bridge collapses...
201
00:10:53,724 --> 00:10:57,000
...reaches its final hurdle.
202
00:10:57,034 --> 00:10:58,862
Scaring the *bleep*
out of me right now.
203
00:10:58,896 --> 00:11:00,413
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
204
00:11:06,931 --> 00:11:10,137
This is a totally different
set up than
what I'm used to.
205
00:11:10,172 --> 00:11:13,896
In a remote valley,
deep in the Chugach Mountains,
206
00:11:13,931 --> 00:11:16,793
the crew faces a daily
battle with water.
207
00:11:18,241 --> 00:11:20,758
We're fighting
ground water,
we're fighting river.
208
00:11:20,793 --> 00:11:22,827
We got wet pay.
209
00:11:22,862 --> 00:11:25,620
There's a fine line
where it's too wet.
210
00:11:25,655 --> 00:11:27,034
We're just losing gold.
211
00:11:27,068 --> 00:11:28,241
It's not worth it.
212
00:11:30,689 --> 00:11:33,034
I need
this water to go away.
213
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:37,517
And if we don't get pumps,
it is going to be our issue,
214
00:11:37,551 --> 00:11:42,000
over and over and over again.
215
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:45,896
Dave inherited
three six-inch military
surplus pumps
216
00:11:45,931 --> 00:11:47,724
when he purchased the claim.
217
00:11:47,758 --> 00:11:51,034
But as the operation grows,
the crew can't keep up.
218
00:11:52,758 --> 00:11:54,034
I got to get pumps.
219
00:11:55,655 --> 00:11:57,551
Dang!
220
00:11:57,586 --> 00:12:01,034
Just-- this season is just
costing me a lot of money.
221
00:12:01,068 --> 00:12:05,448
I'd love to go full speed,
but I don't have
222
00:12:05,482 --> 00:12:07,586
a bank account
that can keep up with it.
223
00:12:11,241 --> 00:12:13,172
To get a jump
on the water issue...
224
00:12:14,034 --> 00:12:15,344
Oh, there's bear.
225
00:12:16,517 --> 00:12:18,448
Cute little guy.
226
00:12:18,482 --> 00:12:23,034
...Dave heads
into the town of Valdez
to meet a local miner.
227
00:12:24,689 --> 00:12:26,965
Hopefully, this guy
Don can help me out.
228
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,793
He's a miner.
229
00:12:28,827 --> 00:12:32,000
I know he's underground,
but he's an electrician.
230
00:12:32,034 --> 00:12:36,862
Hopefully he's got some pumps,
because right now I got
a lot of water to get rid of.
231
00:12:36,896 --> 00:12:40,241
It's what you have to do
when you're in Alaska.
232
00:12:40,275 --> 00:12:42,793
You got to make do
and try to make it work.
233
00:12:42,827 --> 00:12:47,379
You never know what you get
with these old-timers here
in these small Alaska towns.
234
00:12:47,413 --> 00:12:48,896
We'll see what happens.
235
00:12:52,551 --> 00:12:54,034
It's kind of interesting.
236
00:12:54,068 --> 00:12:55,206
We've got everything here.
237
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:57,586
Ooh!
238
00:12:57,931 --> 00:12:59,000
Don.
239
00:12:59,034 --> 00:13:00,137
Yeah, that's me.
240
00:13:00,172 --> 00:13:01,551
Yeah,
how are you doing, man?
241
00:13:01,586 --> 00:13:02,965
- Good to see you.
- You too.
242
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,724
Trying to stay dry,
you know, typical weather.
243
00:13:04,758 --> 00:13:06,000
This is Valdez, right?
244
00:13:06,034 --> 00:13:07,758
Yes, I hear you're up there, doing
a little work, huh?
245
00:13:07,793 --> 00:13:08,896
On Glacier Creek.
246
00:13:08,931 --> 00:13:10,034
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Nice, nice.
247
00:13:10,068 --> 00:13:11,275
- Have you been up there?
- Oh, yeah.
248
00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:12,724
- Many times over the years.
- Good.
249
00:13:12,758 --> 00:13:14,172
Yeah, I kind of grew up
around here, so I--.
250
00:13:14,206 --> 00:13:15,931
And then you worked
out at the cliff mine?
251
00:13:15,965 --> 00:13:18,344
Yes, sir. I did.
Yeah, I went out there,
trying to seal it up.
252
00:13:18,379 --> 00:13:20,448
The mine's full of water,
where the old-timers
253
00:13:20,482 --> 00:13:22,689
had busted the seawall
originally and worked
the trustee vein.
254
00:13:22,724 --> 00:13:24,034
They busted through?
255
00:13:24,068 --> 00:13:25,413
Well, they busted the seawall.
256
00:13:25,448 --> 00:13:26,724
Got into fractured rock.
257
00:13:26,758 --> 00:13:28,482
- Oh!
- Way down.
258
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:31,344
Three hundred plus feet down
below sealevel, underneath
the bay, underneath the bay.
259
00:13:31,379 --> 00:13:32,862
How can you keep up
with that?
260
00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:34,241
Well, they couldn't.
They flooded it...
261
00:13:34,275 --> 00:13:36,241
Anybody lose
their life in that?
262
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:37,551
I'm not sure of it.
I don't think so.
263
00:13:37,586 --> 00:13:38,620
I'm not sure.
264
00:13:39,896 --> 00:13:42,586
The Cliff mine
was one of the most successful
265
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:44,758
hard rock mines in Valdez.
266
00:13:44,793 --> 00:13:49,068
In just 36 years,
it produced gold,
in today's money,
267
00:13:49,103 --> 00:13:52,482
worth over $93 million.
268
00:13:52,517 --> 00:13:58,413
In 1914, while chasing
a deep vein, miners broke
through the seawall,
269
00:13:58,448 --> 00:14:01,413
flooding the mine,
forcing them to abandon
270
00:14:01,448 --> 00:14:04,344
an underwater
motherlode of gold.
271
00:14:04,379 --> 00:14:09,448
Don returned
in the 1980s to fight
the flood and find gold,
272
00:14:09,482 --> 00:14:11,862
but was ultimately
unsuccessful.
273
00:14:13,344 --> 00:14:15,034
Well, I'm dealing with
the water right now and...
274
00:14:15,068 --> 00:14:16,241
Yeah.
275
00:14:16,275 --> 00:14:17,689
- You need some pumps, don't you?
- I need some pumps.
276
00:14:17,724 --> 00:14:19,965
- I need an eight, a couple of eight-inch.
- Okay.
277
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,965
'Cause I've got three
six-inches and they're just
not keeping up.
278
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,275
- Yeah. Okay.
- Right now, I'm... I'm hurting.
279
00:14:25,310 --> 00:14:26,620
Well, I'll see
what I can come up with.
280
00:14:26,655 --> 00:14:30,241
I'll make a couple phone calls
and do some research for you.
281
00:14:30,275 --> 00:14:32,103
I can't guarantee anything,
but I'll damn sure try.
282
00:14:32,137 --> 00:14:33,965
Great.
Well, thank you very much.
283
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,689
- Pleasure meeting you.
- Pleasure meeting you.
284
00:14:35,724 --> 00:14:36,965
- Thanks, Don.
- Take care.
285
00:14:38,034 --> 00:14:40,137
Good contact.
Now I'm going to head back.
286
00:14:40,172 --> 00:14:41,310
Got to get to work.
287
00:14:43,103 --> 00:14:44,793
The search continues
for a pump.
288
00:14:54,172 --> 00:14:56,448
It's hard work hard
to keep this plant running.
289
00:14:56,482 --> 00:15:00,482
But if this thing
ain't running, none of us
are making any money.
290
00:15:00,517 --> 00:15:05,413
At Glacier Creek,
until The Roach is set up,
291
00:15:05,448 --> 00:15:09,206
it's on Chris and Andrew
to tag team Old Dan
292
00:15:09,241 --> 00:15:11,689
and keep the team
washing gold.
293
00:15:11,724 --> 00:15:13,586
Hey, Andrew, you got a copy?
294
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:15,172
Go ahead, Chris.
295
00:15:15,206 --> 00:15:17,344
Ready to play in this,
180 right here.
296
00:15:19,482 --> 00:15:23,517
Now we got about
15 minutes here,
and you've loaded before.
297
00:15:23,551 --> 00:15:24,689
- Yeah. Yeah.
- All right.
298
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,103
We're gonna have to watch
your tailings.
299
00:15:26,137 --> 00:15:28,896
Find you a nice little
cycle and stick to it.
300
00:15:28,931 --> 00:15:30,793
All right.
It's your time
to shine, buddy.
301
00:15:30,827 --> 00:15:31,896
Okay.
302
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,482
- Go to it, buddy.
- All righty.
303
00:15:39,965 --> 00:15:41,827
With team Turin,
we're such a small group,
304
00:15:41,862 --> 00:15:43,241
I mean, you've got to run
the loader,
305
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,068
run the excavator,
you've got to run the plant,
306
00:15:45,103 --> 00:15:46,689
you know, you've got to be
a utility player.
307
00:15:48,034 --> 00:15:51,000
Andrew must
load every 15 minutes
308
00:15:51,034 --> 00:15:54,551
and clear the tailings to stop
them overloading the trommel.
309
00:15:56,724 --> 00:15:58,724
We've got about
ten minutes now.
310
00:15:58,758 --> 00:15:59,862
All right?
311
00:16:00,586 --> 00:16:02,000
Copy that, bud.
312
00:16:10,034 --> 00:16:12,241
I'm coming in,
I have to prove myself.
313
00:16:12,275 --> 00:16:16,586
I want to come in,
make it a better season
this year and help them
314
00:16:16,620 --> 00:16:20,172
take that next step
to the next level.
315
00:16:20,206 --> 00:16:23,655
Old Dan continues
to slowly process pay.
316
00:16:25,241 --> 00:16:29,275
You know, Old Dan's
wash plant,
it's a good start,
317
00:16:29,310 --> 00:16:32,103
but this is what's gonna
turn this season around.
318
00:16:32,137 --> 00:16:36,620
The Roach
has just 250 yards
to arrive at its new home.
319
00:16:38,137 --> 00:16:40,586
The big thing I'm worried
about is crossing that bridge.
320
00:16:43,068 --> 00:16:47,758
But a 150
of these final yards is over
an old wooden bridge.
321
00:16:50,034 --> 00:16:53,793
I got a lot riding on that
thing, that's...
that's our baby.
322
00:16:53,827 --> 00:16:57,275
If this bridge collapses,
we lose The Roach.
323
00:16:57,310 --> 00:16:58,724
But we're
going to give it a shot.
324
00:17:00,275 --> 00:17:02,206
Hope and pray
this bridge holds up.
325
00:17:06,724 --> 00:17:08,413
Line it up now.
326
00:17:08,448 --> 00:17:12,241
Nathan, when you get on it,
try to go as straight
as you can.
327
00:17:12,275 --> 00:17:17,620
The more you jack back
and forth, I'm just worried
about the bridge.
328
00:17:17,655 --> 00:17:20,137
All right, Dave,
it deviates to the right,
so we got to be careful.
329
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:26,517
What I'm worried about,
KC, is that as he starts
trying to jockey for position,
330
00:17:26,551 --> 00:17:28,448
and he's on top of this,
this bridge starts to...
331
00:17:28,482 --> 00:17:29,827
- Wobble.
- ...to wobble.
332
00:17:29,862 --> 00:17:31,827
He gets too much dynamic
movement on it.
333
00:17:31,862 --> 00:17:32,965
That's what scares me.
334
00:17:33,655 --> 00:17:35,103
That is serious.
335
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,103
Are you ready?
336
00:17:38,137 --> 00:17:40,068
All right,
ready or not, here we come.
337
00:17:40,103 --> 00:17:41,724
Bring it on.
338
00:17:41,758 --> 00:17:43,000
All right.
Let's do it.
339
00:17:47,344 --> 00:17:49,379
Easy, easy.
340
00:17:54,103 --> 00:17:56,172
Oh, *bleep*.
Look at that bridge move.
341
00:18:02,275 --> 00:18:03,724
*bleep*
342
00:18:03,758 --> 00:18:05,448
Are we still good?
Are we all right?
343
00:18:07,241 --> 00:18:08,724
We gotta bump it over
a little bit.
344
00:18:11,551 --> 00:18:13,482
The less movement,
side to side,
345
00:18:13,517 --> 00:18:14,793
the better off we are.
346
00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:16,965
All right, Dave.
We gotta turn a little bit.
347
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,172
We gotta make it turn.
348
00:18:18,206 --> 00:18:20,206
It pulls to the right,
so we gotta be careful.
349
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:23,034
Okay.
Go ahead and turn.
350
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,931
It's scaring
the *bleep* out of me
right now.
351
00:18:41,206 --> 00:18:42,931
Full weight
on the bridge now.
352
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:51,827
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
353
00:18:55,586 --> 00:18:59,448
Every time you bump that,
man, that bridge is moving,
so one straight shot.
354
00:19:00,793 --> 00:19:02,724
Deep in the Alaskan
wilderness...
355
00:19:02,758 --> 00:19:04,275
Am I straightened up
right here?
356
00:19:06,448 --> 00:19:10,275
...the weight
of Team Turin's 17-ton Roach
is supported
357
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:12,482
by an old handmade bridge.
358
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:18,379
Once we get
past center,
she's pretty wobbly.
359
00:19:18,413 --> 00:19:20,586
So, best you can, nice
and smooth, Nathan.
360
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,931
*bleep*,
I can't believe it's holding.
361
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:36,275
Keep going, baby!
362
00:19:37,586 --> 00:19:39,172
Good.
Getting there.
363
00:19:42,862 --> 00:19:45,034
Oh, buddy,
you're safe and sound now.
364
00:19:45,689 --> 00:19:46,862
You got her.
365
00:19:46,896 --> 00:19:48,448
Good job, Nathan!
366
00:19:49,931 --> 00:19:51,344
We made it.
367
00:19:51,379 --> 00:19:53,137
That was, that
was a little nerve-wrecking.
368
00:19:53,172 --> 00:19:54,896
I didn't know if it was going
to hold it, you know.
369
00:19:54,931 --> 00:19:56,103
Wow!
370
00:19:58,310 --> 00:20:02,413
That was probably
the most nervous thing
I have to walk this
371
00:20:02,448 --> 00:20:04,827
equipment across,
that's by far.
372
00:20:04,862 --> 00:20:06,310
You got it across.
373
00:20:06,344 --> 00:20:07,482
Good job, Nathan.
374
00:20:08,896 --> 00:20:10,655
Tell you what?
I'm gonna sleep better tonight.
375
00:20:10,689 --> 00:20:16,034
I don't have to dream
about a Roach and a river
and bridge crossing.
376
00:20:16,068 --> 00:20:17,689
We're ready to rock and roll!
377
00:20:18,413 --> 00:20:19,724
Make some gold!
378
00:20:25,448 --> 00:20:26,827
Good morning.
379
00:20:26,862 --> 00:20:28,862
At Glacier Creek...
380
00:20:28,896 --> 00:20:32,724
I'm excited to be here
and I'm willing to do anything.
381
00:20:32,758 --> 00:20:34,241
All right, Andrew,
you got about a minute.
382
00:20:34,275 --> 00:20:35,275
Come on, buddy.
383
00:20:36,724 --> 00:20:39,379
As the rest of the team
focuses on preparing
384
00:20:39,413 --> 00:20:43,034
to set The Roach,
rookie Andrew loads Old Dan.
385
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,206
Try to just move, buddy.
386
00:20:51,724 --> 00:20:54,655
I know you're used
to running and gunning,
so am I, but you still
387
00:20:54,689 --> 00:20:56,689
wanna take a little bit more
time, Andrew.
388
00:20:56,724 --> 00:20:58,482
I don't think
she's quite ready yet.
389
00:20:58,517 --> 00:20:59,827
Copy that.
390
00:21:12,793 --> 00:21:14,379
Hey, Andrew,
you got a copy, bud?
391
00:21:14,413 --> 00:21:16,793
We got to get
on those tails, man.
392
00:21:16,827 --> 00:21:19,586
They're getting
a little close, brother.
393
00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:21,517
We need you at Old Dan.
394
00:21:21,551 --> 00:21:22,620
Copy that.
395
00:21:38,551 --> 00:21:42,793
So, when your
tails build up like this,
what starts happening
396
00:21:42,827 --> 00:21:45,344
is it starts holding
that material in the drum
397
00:21:45,379 --> 00:21:47,517
and you're putting
weight on that drum.
398
00:21:47,551 --> 00:21:49,137
The first thing's great.
399
00:21:49,172 --> 00:21:50,413
Exactly.
400
00:21:51,793 --> 00:21:54,241
You know, Andrew
is a good kid, but he's new.
401
00:21:54,275 --> 00:21:57,413
If we end up getting
a rock jam or one big
rock in there,
402
00:21:57,448 --> 00:21:59,034
that's going to shut
Old Dan down.
403
00:21:59,793 --> 00:22:01,103
That means no gold coming in.
404
00:22:01,137 --> 00:22:03,172
That just makes it that much
harder to hit our goal.
405
00:22:03,206 --> 00:22:05,000
It's the only wash plant
we got at this point.
406
00:22:08,068 --> 00:22:09,620
It's a lot to learn.
407
00:22:09,655 --> 00:22:15,310
Everyday I got to just
keep proving myself
erm, so I can stick around,
408
00:22:15,344 --> 00:22:17,344
because I'm really
loving this job.
409
00:22:23,482 --> 00:22:25,172
Ten-four.
410
00:22:25,206 --> 00:22:27,413
You're clearing so far.
411
00:22:27,448 --> 00:22:30,655
You know, once it's set,
it can be set for
three or four years.
412
00:22:30,689 --> 00:22:33,206
Nate test runs The Roach,
413
00:22:33,241 --> 00:22:37,206
as Dave sets up the most
crucial part of a gold
mining operation.
414
00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:44,103
This is where
we're going to get our gold,
415
00:22:44,137 --> 00:22:45,689
so I've got to make sure
I get this right.
416
00:22:46,793 --> 00:22:49,620
Keep going, keep her coming.
417
00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:52,310
You're good.
418
00:22:52,965 --> 00:22:54,724
Sluice is in place.
419
00:22:54,758 --> 00:22:55,931
Good job, man.
420
00:22:57,068 --> 00:23:00,241
This is critical to get
the pitch the right way.
421
00:23:00,275 --> 00:23:03,931
If I set it in the wrong spot,
wrong pitch and we lose gold.
422
00:23:07,344 --> 00:23:11,172
To effectively catch gold,
a sluice box must be set
423
00:23:11,206 --> 00:23:16,241
between five and eight
degrees. At this angle,
with the right pressure,
424
00:23:16,275 --> 00:23:19,517
water creates a vortex
behind the riffles.
425
00:23:19,551 --> 00:23:23,793
So heavier gold sinks
into the mats.
426
00:23:23,827 --> 00:23:30,275
If set too flat, pay dirt
packs the riffles until
they are unable to hold gold.
427
00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:35,241
But too steep, the stronger
current carries gold
straight out of the box.
428
00:23:40,344 --> 00:23:41,724
Right there,
I'm pretty close.
429
00:23:41,758 --> 00:23:44,862
That'll give us
enough velocity,
and then, that way,
430
00:23:44,896 --> 00:23:47,103
you get more opportunity
for the gold to fall in.
431
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:49,482
All right.
432
00:23:49,517 --> 00:23:50,758
I like it.
433
00:23:52,137 --> 00:23:53,931
Set it and forget it.
434
00:23:54,586 --> 00:23:55,793
You got a copy, Dave?
435
00:23:56,379 --> 00:23:57,586
Yeah.
436
00:23:57,620 --> 00:23:59,103
Can we start
walking it?
437
00:24:00,103 --> 00:24:01,586
Bring it on, man.
438
00:24:01,620 --> 00:24:02,655
I'm ready.
439
00:24:05,655 --> 00:24:07,758
Top of The Roach
where she belongs.
440
00:24:07,793 --> 00:24:09,034
We're making some money.
441
00:24:09,068 --> 00:24:12,620
This little plant over here
about to see real gold in it.
442
00:24:12,655 --> 00:24:15,689
Now, to line
it up with the sluice box,
443
00:24:15,724 --> 00:24:19,724
Nathan must delicately
maneuver the 17-ton machine.
444
00:24:20,724 --> 00:24:21,896
I'm center line, Nate.
445
00:24:21,931 --> 00:24:24,310
Go to your left.
446
00:24:24,344 --> 00:24:26,724
Just a little bit left,
straight, straight.
447
00:24:28,206 --> 00:24:29,172
Keep getting.
448
00:24:30,517 --> 00:24:31,827
We're close, man.
449
00:24:33,586 --> 00:24:37,172
I mean, we could, it
would probably help
to be up six inches.
450
00:24:37,206 --> 00:24:39,965
It'd be nice, in
case something does
happen underneath it.
451
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,482
Why don't you back up?
452
00:24:41,517 --> 00:24:45,689
We'll set the... the boards,
bring it on and then
put our piece in.
453
00:24:59,206 --> 00:25:01,000
I'll drop my end,
one, two, three.
454
00:25:01,931 --> 00:25:03,206
Nice.
455
00:25:03,241 --> 00:25:04,344
I'm ready.
456
00:25:04,379 --> 00:25:05,655
- Good job, buddy.
- Okay.
457
00:25:06,655 --> 00:25:08,034
All right, let's get her moving.
458
00:25:12,655 --> 00:25:14,482
Stay there, boards.
Stay there.
459
00:25:14,517 --> 00:25:15,620
*bleep*.
460
00:25:15,655 --> 00:25:17,068
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
461
00:25:17,103 --> 00:25:18,068
Damn it.
462
00:25:23,068 --> 00:25:24,482
Easy there. Easy.
463
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,172
Watch out.
464
00:25:29,586 --> 00:25:30,931
Come in now.
465
00:25:32,517 --> 00:25:33,551
Do what?
466
00:25:33,586 --> 00:25:34,689
I'm locked up.
467
00:25:36,034 --> 00:25:39,724
Pick up your pipe,
put it up here, right on.
468
00:25:43,413 --> 00:25:45,379
We got blood, sweat
and tears in The Roach,
469
00:25:45,413 --> 00:25:49,551
and we've been waiting
around for a year now
to get this thing going,
470
00:25:49,586 --> 00:25:53,344
and but once this Roach
goes in, we've got to go.
471
00:25:53,379 --> 00:25:56,551
It's going to be kind of
important that we get
a gold weigh in this week.
472
00:25:56,586 --> 00:25:57,724
It's what we dreamed about,
473
00:25:57,758 --> 00:25:58,931
and now we're finally close.
474
00:25:59,551 --> 00:26:00,724
Right here.
475
00:26:00,758 --> 00:26:02,103
Now, that will work.
476
00:26:02,137 --> 00:26:03,551
- That'll work.
- Perfect.
477
00:26:03,586 --> 00:26:04,724
Let's tighten it up.
478
00:26:04,758 --> 00:26:06,034
Hey, good job, you guys.
479
00:26:06,068 --> 00:26:07,793
- Yeah.
- Well done.
480
00:26:09,724 --> 00:26:11,034
That's what I'm talking about.
481
00:26:11,068 --> 00:26:12,551
Good job, guys.
482
00:26:12,586 --> 00:26:15,482
Gentlemen, The Roach
is going to live again.
483
00:26:23,034 --> 00:26:24,827
- You all right?
- Yeah.
484
00:26:24,862 --> 00:26:27,068
At Glacier Creek...
485
00:26:27,103 --> 00:26:30,206
I'm just more worried
about the bigger rocks
486
00:26:30,241 --> 00:26:33,551
that fall through
the grizzlies with Old Dan.
487
00:26:33,586 --> 00:26:35,103
I hear you.
488
00:26:35,137 --> 00:26:39,103
Until The Roach
is set, it's on Chris
and Andrew to keep
489
00:26:39,137 --> 00:26:41,137
the crew catching gold.
490
00:26:41,172 --> 00:26:44,103
Team Turin, remember
we're dealt with diversity,
491
00:26:44,137 --> 00:26:47,620
we tend to, you know,
dig deeper and press through.
492
00:26:47,655 --> 00:26:50,448
I believe that's what makes
our team so successful.
493
00:26:52,206 --> 00:26:56,241
There's bigger rocks
and more of them,
which we're getting right now.
494
00:26:56,275 --> 00:26:58,000
Take your time beating it.
495
00:27:12,862 --> 00:27:14,862
We have a boulder
jam at the plant.
496
00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:16,931
Oh, *bleep*.
497
00:27:16,965 --> 00:27:18,172
Dear Lord.
498
00:27:18,793 --> 00:27:19,862
We've got a rock jam.
499
00:27:19,896 --> 00:27:21,068
That's Old Dan.
500
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:24,482
Damn it.
501
00:27:26,551 --> 00:27:31,206
A flat rock
threatens to tear Old Dan's
main conveyor belt.
502
00:27:33,275 --> 00:27:38,103
Yeah, I got this one, it's...
it's just two bigger rocks wedged together.
503
00:27:48,655 --> 00:27:52,000
Nothing like
putting the new kid,
Andrew, on trial by fire.
504
00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:56,620
You want to start it up?
505
00:27:56,655 --> 00:27:57,965
Here we go.
506
00:28:02,655 --> 00:28:03,931
Good job.
507
00:28:03,965 --> 00:28:05,103
Keep moving forward.
508
00:28:05,137 --> 00:28:06,551
We ain't gonna
let no rock stop us.
509
00:28:10,137 --> 00:28:12,586
That grizzly bar is lightening
bigger rocks.
510
00:28:12,620 --> 00:28:15,000
Can't see everything
that goes in a loader bucket.
511
00:28:18,931 --> 00:28:21,344
I'm willing to do
just about anything.
512
00:28:21,379 --> 00:28:25,689
I'll even move a full
pile of pay dirt
with a shovel if I have to.
513
00:28:25,724 --> 00:28:29,689
It would be stupid to do that,
but I would if I was told to.
514
00:28:31,034 --> 00:28:32,482
Very happy with Andrew.
515
00:28:32,517 --> 00:28:36,275
You know, he stepped up
to the plate and right now
516
00:28:36,310 --> 00:28:39,724
he's knocking it
out of the park,
so great asset to the team.
517
00:28:44,137 --> 00:28:46,586
Across the claim...
518
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:50,931
So, our water source is
there. We need water
to feed that wash plant.
519
00:28:50,965 --> 00:28:54,724
The Roach is now
set at the northern edge
of Glacier Creek.
520
00:28:54,758 --> 00:29:00,413
The final job, connect
the plant to the site's
only clean water source.
521
00:29:00,448 --> 00:29:03,793
The problem is,
we're a long ways from
that pond.
522
00:29:03,827 --> 00:29:06,034
And what we got to do
is work with old equipment
523
00:29:06,068 --> 00:29:08,862
onto the claim, and then
I can't run over
it with loaders.
524
00:29:08,896 --> 00:29:12,965
So what we've got to do
is bury a culvert,
put the hose through it,
525
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,379
and then, that way,
we'd have a clear path
through.
526
00:29:23,379 --> 00:29:24,827
We're going
to have enough.
527
00:29:24,862 --> 00:29:26,379
I haven't...
I haven't measured it
528
00:29:26,413 --> 00:29:29,103
out yet. Just grabbed
all the hose we have.
529
00:29:29,137 --> 00:29:31,172
Go get that
wheel and wheel it off.
530
00:29:32,482 --> 00:29:35,206
Gotta put a lot of lay
flat down, the only problem
531
00:29:35,241 --> 00:29:39,103
with that, we've never
gone this far for water.
532
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,172
We're kind of in a tough spot
right now.
533
00:29:43,206 --> 00:29:46,000
I don't know if I have enough
hose to get from this pond,
534
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,724
I might be back
to the drawing board.
535
00:29:49,379 --> 00:29:50,482
All right.
536
00:29:50,517 --> 00:29:52,275
Hey, guys, here it is, 419.
537
00:29:53,482 --> 00:29:55,206
- That's a long run.
- We make that work?
538
00:29:55,241 --> 00:30:00,517
So, I got 350 of black,
that blue section
might be 75 or so.
539
00:30:00,551 --> 00:30:02,275
So, we've got it.
540
00:30:02,310 --> 00:30:05,172
So, what I'd like to do,
though, KC, is keep
as few bends
541
00:30:05,206 --> 00:30:08,379
in this as we can because
we need as much
pressure as we can get.
542
00:30:09,827 --> 00:30:13,241
The good news is
we've got enough hose.
543
00:30:13,275 --> 00:30:14,827
The problem
with it is you're pushing
544
00:30:14,862 --> 00:30:17,379
all that water uphill
through a hose.
545
00:30:17,413 --> 00:30:20,896
And as you do that,
you lose the efficiency
of your pump.
546
00:30:20,931 --> 00:30:26,965
So, I need-- really, we need
about a 1,000 gallons
a minute. With those pump,
547
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,137
I think we're probably
going to get 600
to 800 gallons per minute.
548
00:30:35,827 --> 00:30:42,344
To send clean water
419 feet to The Roach,
with maximum water pressure,
549
00:30:42,379 --> 00:30:45,965
they must use
old suction pipe
found on the claim
550
00:30:47,413 --> 00:30:51,137
and connect two
lay-flat hoses together,
551
00:30:51,172 --> 00:30:56,758
plus take the most direct
route under the hayl road
via a culvert.
552
00:31:02,931 --> 00:31:04,137
Okay, go on.
553
00:31:04,172 --> 00:31:05,379
Go ahead.
554
00:31:05,413 --> 00:31:06,896
All right.
555
00:31:06,931 --> 00:31:08,379
Good, good. Good.
556
00:31:08,413 --> 00:31:10,068
You like that, Case?
557
00:31:10,103 --> 00:31:11,793
I like that.
All right.
558
00:31:11,827 --> 00:31:13,000
Something's going our way.
559
00:31:14,965 --> 00:31:16,448
All right, Dave.
560
00:31:16,482 --> 00:31:18,551
Whenever you're ready
to fire some water up,
I am ready for some water.
561
00:31:18,586 --> 00:31:19,620
See what she looks like.
562
00:31:19,655 --> 00:31:20,758
All right, here we go.
563
00:31:24,793 --> 00:31:26,000
Y'all doing okay
down there?
564
00:31:26,034 --> 00:31:27,482
Still waiting
for some water.
565
00:31:27,517 --> 00:31:28,586
Let's see it come.
566
00:31:28,620 --> 00:31:29,862
Oh, here she comes.
567
00:31:31,068 --> 00:31:32,758
I don't see
anything blowin' out.
568
00:31:36,068 --> 00:31:38,620
...muddy water,
there she is.
569
00:31:44,965 --> 00:31:46,379
Sprayin' good.
570
00:31:50,344 --> 00:31:51,620
*bleep*.
571
00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:57,310
Another blown hose.
572
00:31:59,931 --> 00:32:02,000
That was the best
looking blue hose up here.
573
00:32:03,517 --> 00:32:05,862
The old
blue plastic suction hose
574
00:32:05,896 --> 00:32:07,862
can't handle the pressure
from the pump.
575
00:32:09,379 --> 00:32:11,586
This is getting to be
a real pain in the butt.
576
00:32:11,620 --> 00:32:15,379
Dave's only
option, search through
the claim's junkyard
577
00:32:15,413 --> 00:32:18,379
for more of the reinforced
rubber-lined hose.
578
00:32:19,379 --> 00:32:20,551
Son of a *bleep*.
579
00:32:20,586 --> 00:32:21,862
He's long.
580
00:32:23,379 --> 00:32:25,310
What do you think?
581
00:32:25,344 --> 00:32:29,310
I say we cut it,
stuff it, clamp it, run it.
582
00:32:29,344 --> 00:32:30,448
All right.
583
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:32,137
Well, then let's pull those
clamps off, Nate.
584
00:32:32,172 --> 00:32:33,206
Okay.
585
00:32:34,689 --> 00:32:38,379
The last resort,
cut and clamp the rubber hose.
586
00:32:44,068 --> 00:32:45,241
Good enough.
587
00:32:45,275 --> 00:32:46,793
So, let's go put it on
and just try it.
588
00:32:49,379 --> 00:32:50,517
Just about it.
589
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:52,034
If this doesn't work,
we're screwed.
590
00:32:53,862 --> 00:32:56,137
All right, Nathan,
we are primed up,
ready to go.
591
00:32:57,241 --> 00:32:59,551
Let it rip, tater chip,
she's open.
592
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:01,103
Okay, here it comes.
We've got water coming.
593
00:33:07,172 --> 00:33:08,448
Looking good.
594
00:33:08,482 --> 00:33:10,344
Let's see if we got water
at the wash plant now.
595
00:33:15,172 --> 00:33:16,344
How are we looking?
596
00:33:18,172 --> 00:33:19,517
Kill the bypass.
597
00:33:30,206 --> 00:33:32,000
We got water
in the sluice box.
598
00:33:33,206 --> 00:33:34,620
Looks pretty good, don't it?
599
00:33:34,655 --> 00:33:35,827
It's all looking good.
600
00:33:36,689 --> 00:33:38,000
Better than I thought.
601
00:33:38,655 --> 00:33:39,862
Ooh, look at that.
602
00:33:39,896 --> 00:33:41,827
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I like it.
603
00:33:43,068 --> 00:33:45,172
Don't look bad at all, Nathan.
604
00:33:45,206 --> 00:33:46,344
It's a lot of water.
605
00:33:50,793 --> 00:33:53,482
First bucket going in
of Alaska pay.
606
00:34:00,344 --> 00:34:01,551
Here she comes.
607
00:34:01,586 --> 00:34:04,344
We got some Alaska pay
dirt going through.
608
00:34:04,379 --> 00:34:07,965
After 17 prospects
across five states...
609
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,448
Oh, yeah!
610
00:34:09,482 --> 00:34:12,379
...and over two months into the mining season,
611
00:34:12,413 --> 00:34:18,310
Team Turin is finally up
and running with its own
wash plant on its own claim.
612
00:34:18,344 --> 00:34:19,448
Yeah!
613
00:34:19,482 --> 00:34:21,689
Whoo!
614
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:25,689
Gotta make that money.
615
00:34:28,724 --> 00:34:30,172
Feels damn good,
don't it, Dave?
616
00:34:30,206 --> 00:34:32,758
I think we ran more than
they ran all day
in the last five minutes.
617
00:34:33,965 --> 00:34:38,793
Hats off to Dan and Old Dan
the wash plant, but...
618
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:42,413
you ain't gonna make no money
like that, not like we need.
619
00:34:42,448 --> 00:34:44,275
We need volume.
620
00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:46,068
And this is how it's going
to be done.
621
00:34:46,103 --> 00:34:48,655
And the Eagle is going
to even eat more.
622
00:34:49,275 --> 00:34:51,793
Do you hear that?
623
00:34:51,827 --> 00:34:54,275
That's a sweet sound
right there,
the Roach is running.
624
00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:57,517
We'll run one full day
and then we'll do
a gold weigh,
625
00:34:57,551 --> 00:34:59,758
start to get an idea
how much gold we're getting.
626
00:35:03,448 --> 00:35:07,344
Welcome to Jazz Alaska.
627
00:35:07,379 --> 00:35:09,206
Chris is kind of a funny guy
in the morning.
628
00:35:09,241 --> 00:35:12,000
He'll do a little radio blue
jazz voice.
629
00:35:12,034 --> 00:35:14,172
We're accepting calls
right now.
630
00:35:14,206 --> 00:35:16,241
We can talk about
your loved ones.
631
00:35:16,275 --> 00:35:20,310
We can talk about
the pain, the love, the highs
632
00:35:20,344 --> 00:35:24,827
and the lows and we'll be
killing them all day.
633
00:35:26,103 --> 00:35:28,275
So, just call in,
we'll help you out.
634
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:32,655
He's a silly man, silly man.
635
00:35:36,793 --> 00:35:38,103
At Glacier Creek...
636
00:35:40,758 --> 00:35:43,965
Right now, The Roach
is running nice and smooth.
637
00:35:44,793 --> 00:35:46,000
Loving it.
638
00:35:46,034 --> 00:35:48,000
Doing pretty good up
on this end.
639
00:35:49,206 --> 00:35:50,551
We're running.
640
00:35:50,586 --> 00:35:53,000
Rocks in the box, boys,
rocks in the box.
641
00:35:55,689 --> 00:35:59,241
Team Turin
runs its first eight-hour
test through The Roach.
642
00:36:01,275 --> 00:36:03,862
We had to shut down Old Dan.
643
00:36:03,896 --> 00:36:07,482
Because the beautiful
Roach over there is just
chewing through the pay.
644
00:36:07,517 --> 00:36:09,137
That's what it's made to do.
645
00:36:09,172 --> 00:36:10,413
That's what we want.
646
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,413
So far, so good.
647
00:36:14,448 --> 00:36:16,137
We're getting more gold.
648
00:36:16,172 --> 00:36:17,586
Exactly what we wanted.
649
00:36:18,793 --> 00:36:20,965
We've got to find
our rhythm right now.
650
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,068
Andrew's down there.
651
00:36:22,103 --> 00:36:23,862
He's got to deliver pay here.
652
00:36:23,896 --> 00:36:25,896
Chris is going to have
to keep this full.
653
00:36:25,931 --> 00:36:28,413
So, we're going to have
to try to get in step
with everybody.
654
00:36:28,448 --> 00:36:29,620
It's like a dance.
655
00:36:44,517 --> 00:36:47,827
Really starting
to get pay clicking.
656
00:36:48,586 --> 00:36:49,724
Everything's working.
657
00:36:50,379 --> 00:36:51,551
Ha-ha!
658
00:36:54,206 --> 00:36:56,034
Perfect. I think
we might have it.
659
00:36:57,482 --> 00:36:58,655
Shut it down.
660
00:36:59,896 --> 00:37:01,413
Yeah, happy day.
Happy day!
661
00:37:02,896 --> 00:37:04,344
Somebody
go hit the pump.
662
00:37:23,068 --> 00:37:24,724
Well, you ready?
663
00:37:24,758 --> 00:37:25,862
Let's give it a try.
664
00:37:27,551 --> 00:37:29,000
It's been a while.
665
00:37:29,034 --> 00:37:31,724
After a three-day
run on Old Dan
666
00:37:31,758 --> 00:37:36,655
and an 800 yard test
from The Roach,
Dave fires up the gold table.
667
00:37:37,344 --> 00:37:38,448
We're in great shape.
668
00:37:38,482 --> 00:37:40,241
I mean,
we got gold on the table.
669
00:37:41,172 --> 00:37:42,724
So, yeah,
it feels really good.
670
00:37:42,758 --> 00:37:45,724
And you think about
it, in eight or nine
671
00:37:45,758 --> 00:37:49,862
days, we've set up a fully
functioning mine site.
672
00:37:49,896 --> 00:37:52,275
It's been quite a journey,
but we're doing it,
673
00:37:52,310 --> 00:37:55,793
and I'm proud of my guys
because they adapted.
674
00:37:56,827 --> 00:37:58,137
I am not *bleep* you.
675
00:37:58,172 --> 00:38:03,862
I have not seen that
compared to that little
black sand ever.
676
00:38:05,103 --> 00:38:08,448
Feels really good to see
this much gold
going through.
677
00:38:08,482 --> 00:38:12,034
If this did this for two hours
straight, whoa,
we'd have a good day.
678
00:38:26,448 --> 00:38:28,965
Morning
at the Gold Room.
679
00:38:30,068 --> 00:38:31,137
Hey, Dave.
680
00:38:31,172 --> 00:38:32,827
Well, here we go, boys.
681
00:38:34,724 --> 00:38:36,137
I don't want to get
all sentimental,
682
00:38:36,172 --> 00:38:40,413
but this is the week
my dad passed.
683
00:38:40,448 --> 00:38:47,206
And what my dad taught me
got me here, instilling in me,
684
00:38:47,241 --> 00:38:51,689
your friends treat them like
family and... and it works.
685
00:38:53,551 --> 00:38:55,689
You guys are friends
and family.
686
00:38:55,724 --> 00:38:57,103
- You too.
- Thank you.
687
00:38:57,137 --> 00:39:00,103
You're a new guy,
but you're right here
with us, so--
688
00:39:00,137 --> 00:39:03,413
Yeah, I was just
thinking about that,
that it's been a year.
689
00:39:06,310 --> 00:39:09,413
You know, it's been
a rough week, but we're here.
690
00:39:09,448 --> 00:39:10,965
We did it.
691
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,344
The Roach is running
and it's been a hell
of a journey, but here we are.
692
00:39:15,862 --> 00:39:17,517
We got some gold.
693
00:39:17,551 --> 00:39:21,034
What were we running
Old Dan's? About
30 yards an hour?
694
00:39:21,068 --> 00:39:22,724
Say about 25...
695
00:39:22,758 --> 00:39:23,862
25?
696
00:39:23,896 --> 00:39:24,931
Yeah.
697
00:39:24,965 --> 00:39:26,724
This week,
the team ran pay
698
00:39:26,758 --> 00:39:31,448
from both Old Dan
and The Roach,
totaling 1,700 yards.
699
00:39:31,482 --> 00:39:36,448
I think if we see
13, 14 ounces, we'll be happy.
700
00:39:36,482 --> 00:39:37,620
Let's see
what she weighs.
701
00:39:37,655 --> 00:39:38,793
Ready to weigh?
702
00:39:38,827 --> 00:39:40,000
- Count it up, Andrew.
- All right.
703
00:39:40,034 --> 00:39:41,206
Here we go.
704
00:39:41,241 --> 00:39:42,413
There is one.
705
00:39:43,413 --> 00:39:44,758
Come on, big money.
706
00:39:44,793 --> 00:39:46,862
Four, five.
707
00:39:46,896 --> 00:39:48,241
- There we go.
- Eight.
708
00:39:48,275 --> 00:39:49,620
Good deal.
Good deal.
709
00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:51,206
Ten, 11...
710
00:39:51,241 --> 00:39:52,724
Yeah...
711
00:39:52,758 --> 00:39:56,310
Twelve.
Oh, we almost hit 13.
712
00:39:56,344 --> 00:39:57,379
Almost 13 ounces.
713
00:39:57,413 --> 00:39:59,034
12.95.
714
00:39:59,068 --> 00:40:00,896
That'll work.
That's mine-able.
715
00:40:00,931 --> 00:40:02,344
1,700 yards.
716
00:40:03,137 --> 00:40:04,965
Almost 13 ounces.
717
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,034
That's what you
brought us here for.
718
00:40:07,068 --> 00:40:12,793
Team Turin
makes over $23,000 from
1,700 yards of pay.
719
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:16,379
But from here on out,
with The Roach on site,
720
00:40:16,413 --> 00:40:20,241
they can run
up to 1,200 yards every day.
721
00:40:20,275 --> 00:40:25,413
But you know what, you guys,
were doing four times
what Old Dan's wash plant did.
722
00:40:25,448 --> 00:40:27,586
- Yeah.
- So, that's good.
723
00:40:27,620 --> 00:40:29,620
And we... we get down
to the bottom,
724
00:40:29,655 --> 00:40:31,482
we're going to be killing it.
725
00:40:31,517 --> 00:40:32,931
I think better things
are to come.
726
00:40:33,758 --> 00:40:35,000
Bring it in, guys.
727
00:40:35,034 --> 00:40:37,000
Come on. Come on, red.
728
00:40:37,034 --> 00:40:38,655
It's been one heck of a week.
729
00:40:38,689 --> 00:40:41,206
We hit the claim running.
730
00:40:41,241 --> 00:40:44,655
We have made gold
every day, little by little,
by little, by little
731
00:40:44,689 --> 00:40:46,000
since the moment we rolled up.
732
00:40:46,034 --> 00:40:47,724
That's a huge feat
within itself.
733
00:40:48,379 --> 00:40:49,620
Amen, boys.
734
00:40:52,068 --> 00:40:55,103
Look around,
there's not been
many people here,
735
00:40:55,137 --> 00:40:58,586
and it's kind of fun because
we're the pioneers now.
736
00:40:58,620 --> 00:41:02,310
And I know that there's
better gold to come
and we're gonna get it.
737
00:41:06,068 --> 00:41:07,551
On the next episode...
738
00:41:07,586 --> 00:41:09,310
We can't be running, cert.
739
00:41:09,344 --> 00:41:10,758
He does not like that at all.
740
00:41:10,793 --> 00:41:13,344
In the battle
to increase production...
741
00:41:13,379 --> 00:41:15,931
Came here
with not enough pumps.
Not good.
742
00:41:15,965 --> 00:41:17,000
...miners...
743
00:41:17,034 --> 00:41:18,137
Dave, you got a copy?
744
00:41:18,172 --> 00:41:19,241
Go ahead.
745
00:41:19,275 --> 00:41:20,689
You got to see
it to believe it.
746
00:41:20,724 --> 00:41:23,517
...and machinery
are put under
maximum pressure...
747
00:41:23,551 --> 00:41:25,620
Press the bypass.
748
00:41:25,655 --> 00:41:26,965
Cut the water.
749
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,241
...forcing Team
Turin to dig even deeper.
750
00:41:30,275 --> 00:41:32,206
I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't worrying.
751
00:41:32,241 --> 00:41:34,000
I'm worrying.
