(Transcrito por TurboScribe.ai. Atualize para Ilimitado para remover esta mensagem.) On this Gold Rush, we asked you, the fans, to tell us your favorite moments from 15 years of gold mining.

Hit the button!

It's damn tough.

Make it f***ing happen.

Hey!

Get out of my f***ing way.

Now, we count down your top ten unforgettable...

I can't wait to take your hundred ounces, kid.

Jaw-dropping...

Give me one good reason not to tell you to go f*** yourself.

Most emotional moments...

Yeah, I'm back.

From the greatest treasure hunt of all time...

You're all millionaires. The only thing is, you gotta get it out of the ground.

What will be your number one moment?

Plants on fire!

Tony beats.

In Gold Rush history...

There's gold everywhere.

We got all that good stuff.

That's just mind-blowing.

That's a hell of a result.

Oh, my God!

Welcome to Alaska.

First up, on your ultimate Gold Rush countdown...

Feels like I'm coming home.

In 2010, a group of down-on-their-luck men from Sandy, Oregon, arrived in Alaska.

There isn't one man in America who wouldn't want to be here with us.

That flag means freedom.

The Huffmans' mission? Find a life-changing fortune in gold.

It looks like a big piece of junk.

And from the moment their 15-year-old neighbor laid eyes on them, he had them figured out.

I just sell firewood on the side.

I charge them double what I usually do.

Coming in at number 10 on your Gold Rush countdown...

Parker Schnabel schools the Huffmans.

After weeks of setup...

Turn the jig on!

The Huffmans finally get their wash plant running to capture their gold.

It's not working right.

They quickly run into a problem.

Anything coming out?

Yeah, we're all plugged up.

Mine boss Todd has no choice but to ask his neighbor for help.

A little embarrassing, you have a 15-year-old kid telling you how to mine,

but he's got a lot more experience than I do.

He's been mining since he was six years old.

Todd. How are you, buddy? Pretty good.

I want you to take a look at my jig.

Something's wrong. I don't know what I'm doing with it.

So there must be really something plugged up in there.

Yeah, I piped them both together with one valve.

So you need more water pressure.

A valve on each of those, and then you can adjust how much comes out through the bottom.

I got to do them separately.

Shoot.

That's where I screwed up.

I'm going to have to cut it off.

I think this whole pipe is just plugged up with gold.

Dude, you are ****** me.

Look out, look out!

Whoa!

I see gold on my fingers.

I'm going to get you in there.

When they open the valve, there's gold everywhere.

It's covered in gold.

Look at my hands.

I saw three little tiny flakes.

It's just gold fever.

That's all it is.

You know they're amateurs when they dig through with their fingers and look for it.

Don't know what they're doing.

Next, on your ultimate gold rush countdown.

Let the game begin.

Now that's some glory.

Veteran miner Dakota Fred Hurt and his son Dustin believe the deepest ground on Porcupine Creek holds millions in gold.

Ah, the hoppins.

We're digging basically the same material I am, except it's not quite as deep.

That's all.

Your pick for number nine on the countdown.

Dakota Fred gets to the bottom of the glory hole.

I'd be highly embarrassed, highly embarrassed that I don't wind up with at least 100 ounces of gold out of this place.

The Dakota boys believe there's a massive fortune in gold at the bottom of an ancient waterfall's plunge pool.

To pull it out, they need to dig a 100-foot deep hole to bedrock, nicknamed the glory hole.

Scary, huh? Because any rock could come off of there at any time.

It's dangerous as hell down here.

We can't go any deeper, more than about 20 feet.

The bottom nowhere in sight, they hire a drill to find out if glory hole gold is within reach.

Time to find out.

Right here.

Wish me luck.

If the vibrations shake the unstable wall loose, it could trigger a catastrophic collapse.

Right now, I'm probably about 16 feet down right now.

I'm going to go a little bit more.

Go ahead and just keep on drilling, doing good.

I'm kind of worried watching him right there with all this vibration.

So I'm trying to drill and keep an eye on him.

Only go down about a foot at a time.

We're 17 feet down right now.

How deep is the hole down there?

I'm at about 24.

We can't dig any more than that.

So we'll call it.

Pull it out.

As they pull out of the glory hole...

Check that out.

...a brown liquid emerges.

It's getting a different color.

Some real fine sandy soil.

We are on bedrock.

Good job, Fred.

If I'm right there, believe me,

I'll step down and try to get another five feet out of that excavator.

Fred is convinced the sandy soil layer is sitting on bedrock.

I hope there's gold just dripping off that stuff.

So don't spill a drop of it.

After three years, they finally bottom out the glory hole,

pulling in over 300 ounces of gold.

Yeah!

Next up, on the countdown of fan-favorite moments...

A few flakes is all we got.

I doubt if we made a dollar.

Yeah.

...on the bumpy road to becoming a mine boss...

Holy...

Uh-oh.

Trouble.

...Parker Schnabel had his share of mentors.

Parker is 17, and I'm his mother.

Whether it was his mother, Nancy...

I am concerned about you.

And I'm telling you I'm fine.

Hey, Parker.

...or his father, Roger...

You got fuel in it now?

Yes.

I wouldn't be screwing around with it there.

Don't be smart with me.

I'm here to help.

If you don't want my help at all,

I just get my arm and we'll go home.

I knew this s*** was gonna happen.

But your fan-favorite mentorship moment

comes in at number 8 on the countdown,

the advice that 91-year-old John Schnabel

gives to his 16-year-old grandson.

In 2012...

Ready, Dad?

Find the hole!

...Parker was making big moves

on his family's big nugget mine...

We're going big on Smith Creek.

...spending $200,000 to open new ground.

Heavy rain damages Parker's haul road,

making it too dangerous to pass.

That don't look solid to me.

I see the water coming through the rocks.

Well, can we clean it up and use that same road?

No.

The hill is dangerous.

You shoot down there like a toboggan,

flop into this river

and join the rest of the people wherever heaven is.

What, now we have no way of getting up there,

no dirt to run through the plant?

It's damn tough...

to see someone die because of your judgment.

I've had a dozen people killed

working for me.

I don't want to see you have to go through that.

No way.

You don't know how you're going to feel

when you go up to somebody's wife

and tell her there's been an accident.

I love you.

I don't want you to have to walk through

some of the miseries that I've had to walk through.

Responsibility is a burden, really.

Let's build a safe road

and take that out of the picture.

And whatever it costs,

it's damn sight cheaper than somebody

being hauled out of here on a stretcher.

You're right.

Parker takes Grandpa's advice,

spending weeks to rebuild the road.

And at the end of the season,

weighs up Smith Creek Gold.

Whoa, look at that.

192 ounces.

So you've got two ounce profit.

Yeah.

My grandpa's probably

the most important person in my life.

He's taught me a lot.

I've learned a lot more in the last two years

than anything else in the world

could have ever taught me.

Coming up...

Easiest hundred grand of the season.

...we get closer to finding out...

Well, guys, that's it.

Just taking a break.

...what will be your pick

for the number one moment

in Gold Rush history.

Yeah!

You know what's funny, though,

is that's not even it.

We're gonna drop down here.

We'll bug them.

We're getting closer to number one.

Oh, s***.

As we continue your countdown

of the top ten biggest moments

in Gold Rush history.

I now pronounce you married.

I'm pretty good on a rock truck,

pretty good on an excavator.

Coming up next on your countdown...

Crank her up.

...everyone's favorite Viking...

I like to be captain on this ship.

...the king of the Klondike...

You can't put an old hat on young shoulders.

...Tony Beetz...

I'm not a bad man.

I'm a businessman.

...he's never been afraid to splash the cash

on brand-new big iron.

$1.4 million.

Look what it scoops up.

But your favorite Tony Beetz moment

comes from his obsession with antiques.

Every Viking needs a ship,

well, this s*** thing is mine.

Coming in at number seven,

Tony Beetz resurrects a Gold Rush icon.

Well, guys, that's it.

That's the dredge.

I threw a million bucks in this.

In 2014, Tony gambles big

on a 75-year-old relic

that hasn't produced gold in over 30 years.

What the f*** did you do?

This thing's older than we are, Tony.

It takes five long months

to break the 350-ton dredge

into thousands of pieces.

How's that speed, Mike?

Truck it over 150 miles...

Come on.

For f***'s sake.

...and reassemble it piece by piece.

The ship is ready to sail,

so let's put it in the f***ing water,

see if we can dredge some gold with it.

Let's fire it up.

Go!

There it goes!

That thing's f***ing awesome.

It's been 30-something f***ing years.

There's no gold or what.

That's the first bunk in the dirt, guys.

Look at that.

We've got a nice, big, full bucket.

Isn't that awesome?

The monster comes alive.

No kidding.

Well, let's check if there's any gold in the bucket.

Oh, wow.

That's pretty cool, Tony.

Is there gold in there?

This is the only gold bucket

that's running in North America.

This is the beginning of likely years and years of dredging.

Next, on your ultimate gold rush countdown...

Every now and then, you just got to kind of pick your balls up

and put them on the table and risk them, I guess.

...Rick Ness risks his mining career

to uncover what he believes

is a massive gold deposit

formed by an ancient river,

now buried under 190 feet of worthless dirt.

Number six...

Rick Ness gets to the bottom of Raleigh Valley.

This is definitely a gamble,

but it's a gamble in a different way.

The gold is there.

The biggest part of the gamble is if we can get down to it.

Supposedly, at the bottom of this

is three, four, five-ounce nuggets.

I want that.

With just a skeleton crew,

Rick spends over a million dollars

removing millions of tons of dirt.

Is Raleigh Valley a guarantee of success?

No, but nothing out here is.

All I know is it's our best f***ing shot,

and that's what I'm going for.

Risking life and limb...

F***ing buddy, that f***ing wall's caving in!

...to get to the bottom of Raleigh Valley.

There could be a f***ing life-changing amount of gold in there,

but if it doesn't pay off,

ah, f***.

That's man to me.

Finally, after three seasons,

they hit bedrock.

Well, that's it.

I'm either going to smash it out of the park,

or I'm going to go home bankrupt.

Make sure you get every last bit.

Hell, yeah.

Here it is, last f***ing bucket of Raleigh Valley.

Drop her in, bud.

Got her down.

We got 100 ounces right here.

And we got another 200 ounces right here.

F***. F***.

So that's 300 to start with. You ready?

Yep. Let's do this.

In 2024, Rick tallies up his final gold haul

from the bottom of Raleigh Valley.

15, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,

80, 90...

92.13.

392.13.

Whoo! Oh, f*** yeah!

That was 10!

Oh, yeah!

You know what's funny, though, is that's not even it.

What do you mean?

You guys can all just come up here and take a look at this.

You ready for this?

Check this out.

Oh!

F***, that's another 40.04.

432.17 ounces.

F***ing awesome.

Jeez Louise, man.

It's Rick's biggest-ever gold weigh-in.

That's the highlight for me of 13 years of mining,

and the fact that we did it with just f***ing seven of us,

like, that's honest to God.

Like, I can't thank you guys enough.

Like, this is the reason we come up here,

and when we put up numbers like this,

we all go home real f***ing happy.

Over three seasons,

Rally Valley produces almost 2,700 ounces of gold

worth $8.7 million.

Rally!

All right, here comes Tony Beetz.

Coming up...

This right here is what I need.

Which of your moments comes out on top?

Well, it appears the shoe's on the other hoof.

We're deep in it now.

We've reached the halfway point of your countdown

of the biggest moments in gold rush history.

I'm not gonna take any bulls*** from the little punk.

Chosen by you, the fans.

This f***ing means the world to me, man.

Next on your list...

I guess that's it. Everybody's gone.

I mean, I still got some fight left in me.

A moment from Parker's first season in the Yukon.

Are you in? I'm in.

1,000 ounces, baby. Let's do it.

Coming in at number five,

the gold rush all-stars assemble.

Right now, we've got two trucks,

and we've got two people.

So I'm kind of hot seat between shoes today.

At the end of the 2013 season,

Parker is 200 ounces shy of his 1,000-ounce target.

Two guys mining like this is just stupid.

You know, we have to find a couple people

if we're gonna make this work.

With his crew gone home for the winter,

Parker turns to the only miner

crazy enough to still be in the Yukon.

You know, we've got ground,

but we just don't have the people to keep doing it.

This time of year is not that simple.

And the minute they turn a cold eye,

they're gone.

Yeah.

I know somebody.

Who's that?

You?

Me.

Well, you're all done.

You sit on your butt all day.

You might as well give the kid a hand.

Give him a hand.

Now, here comes Tony Beetz.

Tony arrives for his one-day shift.

Yeah!

Hey, Rick, guess who's joining the crew?

Oh, really? That's awesome.

Glad you made it.

Well, I had to help, I guess.

That's what they want me to do.

So maybe you could run our hoe and load trucks.

Yeah, I'll run the hoe.

So I take another foot for you, then bingo.

All right.

Sounds good. I'm glad you made it, Tony.

Hey, me too.

I should have been on the road to ******, Arizona.

I'm glad you're not.

I just told Tony Beetz what to do.

To me, it looks like he's being

a little bit too soft on the ground.

So I'll dig out a little better

and show him how the ****** we do it around here, okay?

Very good.

Let's see if we can speed this up a little bit around here.

Tony Beetz is a pretty intense dude,

and he's kind of running around here like a madman,

and he's definitely bringing a lot of energy here,

and we needed him today.

We needed the help, and it's a good day.

We want 6,000 ounces.

Well, then, guys, you go as long as you freaking can.

There's no reason to shut down.

Now we're here, so may as well give it.

To make the most of the added manpower,

the trio work into the night.

It is the last load, so better make it a good one.

Well, that's it.

Yeah.

Let's have a look at the box, Parker.

All right.

Wow, we put a good day in today.

Yeah, well, I was glad I could give you a ****** day

It'd be sure nice to see if there's gold in that thing.

And there's some in there.

Yeah, there's some in there.

See there, there?

That looks pretty friendly, doesn't it?

There's a nice nest over there.

Yeah.

Parker, I'm out here in the morning.

If I were you, I wouldn't be too far behind

because she's going to get ****** gold, my man.

Right on.

I'm going where it's warm.

See you later.

The Gold Rush dream team propel Parker to his 1,000-ounce gold.

Big time.

1,029.

Oh, my gosh!

Wow!

I never have seen that much gold in my whole life in one time.

Next up, the friendship between Tony and Parker

turns into a heated rivalry.

Hey, Parker.

How's things, my man?

These increasing royalty rates just are killing us.

Sucks to be you, right?

I don't know who started calling him a Klondike legend,

but it's more like ****** Klondike ******.

Number four, on your countdown,

Parker turns the tables on Tony Beetz.

Go get me some gold, would you?

Working on it.

Over five seasons, Parker leases Tony's ground.

Let's have a look at it.

Paying him millions in royalties.

But their relationship crumbles.

Whoa, there.

What are you doing now?

What the **** do you think I'm doing?

The contract states while you're leasing the ground from us,

that's the only material you're gonna lose.

If that's not good enough for you, you go somewhere else.

And you can go **** yourself.

In 2017...

It does feel good to not be mining Tony's ground this year.

We don't have a landlord for the first time ever.

Parker finally gets out from under Tony,

but his new ground borders the Beetz.

And Tony's not happy with the arrangements.

Howdy.

What the **** are you doing in my backyard anyway?

I'm not trying to do anything without your permission.

Okay.

No more driving through my yard.

Keep everything on that side of the line.

I'll keep mine on this side.

Get it?

Because if we have it on a straight line,

then there'll never be any issues.

So you keep yours on that side, you keep mine on this side.

So I'm not gonna get your permission to pull water from your property.

You wanted to get out on your own, right?

Isn't that what you said?

You wanted to get out from underneath Tony Beetz?

Well, here is your opportunity.

Tony blocks Parker from drawing water from the river.

This mining season is gonna end before it started.

The next season, Tony needs access to water to run a new operation.

But he doesn't hold the water license.

That's underneath Parker's license.

We gave that to him.

You did that personally yourself.

We'll just have to see if we can make a deal with Parker one way or another.

Yeah.

Right?

And you have to be nice.

Seriously.

Knock, knock.

How's it going, Parker?

Not too bad.

How was your winter?

Oh, the winter was all right.

So how's things going for you here this year?

We're definitely up against it with these licensing issues.

That's why I'm here to see you today.

The only piece of ground that right now I got left of mine

is on the airport and is underneath your license.

And if you don't want to join the license with me,

we're basically out of it.

Yeah.

So we're gonna have to buddy up somehow.

Oh, and now we're buddying up.

What happened last spring, Tony?

That was last year.

You flip me off and you want something?

Well, it appears the shoe's on the other hoof.

It's gonna work two ways, always remember.

No, when I needed something was last spring, Tony.

Unless we make a deal somehow, we're out here, we're screwed.

What you're saying is that that...

Basically, I've got control whether you can mine it or not.

Give me one good reason not to tell you to go... yourself.

Unless I make a deal with you to share the license on the property,

I have to get out of here. That's quite simple.

There's been some bad blood at times, Tony.

But I'm gonna be calling in a favor one of these days.

And so, you know, right now we might not need anything,

but down the road here this season, I very well could.

And so I'm fine with it.

Good. Thank you.

Parker, thanks. That was good.

Not an issue.

You bet.

Have a good one, Tony.

Yeah, you too.

She stopped breathing!

Coming up...

Yeah, I'm back.

We move closer to your number one pick

for the biggest moment in Gold Rush history.

You have failed.

It's payback time!

We're down to the final three...

We're gonna die!

...of your top ten favorite Gold Rush moments.

It's good for you.

Now this is all mine.

Oh, my grandpa's here.

Now we've got the A-team.

American football!

He's kind of running it into the f***ing ground.

Yeah, I don't even want to go there.

So why don't you just tell me?

Coming in at number three,

Todd and Parker's 100-ounce bet.

He wants me to tell him how much gold I have.

Well, at this point, I'm not ready to do that.

Over the years...

He's being an a**hole.

...Parker and Todd go toe-to-toe.

Or is it just me?

And their rivalry intensifies.

You know what?

We're gonna come out here with the most amount of gold.

Well, how about you?

You better freaking mine hard.

Whatever.

Todd couldn't find gold in a jewelry store.

Part of me wants to kick his ass, let's be honest.

In 2017, Todd takes the competition to a whole new level.

What are we wagering?

100 ounces?

That's like $100,000.

You in?

You'd do that?

Yeah, sure.

Happy to take your money.

The wager...

See you later.

Good luck.

Most gold in the season wins.

Every time that I've crashed in my life is because I was arrogant.

You know what?

That kid is arrogant.

I'm gonna take him down this year.

He's putting his money where his mouth is, so...

I'm pretty surprised to see that.

But it doesn't make you a good miner.

Headline clear!

Todd thinks he's gonna get 5,000 ounces.

I don't think he'll get anywhere close to that, honestly.

But we're sure as hell getting 5,000 ounces.

First bucket, baby, first bucket.

Come on, come on!

101.9.
