We ain't making a painting.

We're only moving gold.

I'm this. Gold rush.

Woo! All right.

Web move.

Parker's crew runs into double trouble.

Trying to do all this with a few people is pretty ridiculous.

More power. More power.

Oh, you see that? That is a sluice box. They did that 80

years ago. So I think it'd be more defensive.

Tony B.

goes on a treasure hunt for lost gold.

All we got to do is just take it out.

Here we go again.

Misfits, are we ready to rumble? And Fred Lewis.

Hi, we're about to witness history.

With his rookie crew. Yeah!

Finally gets loosey.

I'm pretty sure this is gold mining.

Woo! Let's get some gold, boys!

Let me know when you got the last bucket. We're up here ready to shut

All right, let's go, folks.

All right, we got it. We got it up here.

That wouldn't be a plant move without some corn rain.

At Indian River, Parker Schnabel is over a third of the way into the short

season.

But he's making up for lost time with a hot start.

We're definitely trying to take a new approach this year with moving the

more often.

and trucking a lot less pay.

So Luther's just finishing up. We're about to start a plant move.

I'm just looking forward to doing this with you in October.

Oh, yeah, when it gets cold.

Yeah, can't wait.

Parker's new strategy is working.

The team has been getting 100 ounces more gold per week than last season.

He always started cleaning up with a cigar.

After running for just 10 days at the current location, Lucifer is ready to be

cleaned and moved.

I'm hoping there's good gold in there. We will find out quite shortly here.

Are you here to help or just visit?

Visit.

I can feel you spraying me with water.

I've been holding off.

I've been holding off.

Rookie plant boss Tyson Lee loads the first tank of concentrate.

Want to make sure that that's level in there?

It doesn't need to be level in there. Well, I mean, so it's not spilling out

that side. He just means so it's not spilling out, Nick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.

We ain't making a painting.

We're only moving gold instead.

Those are in the back.

Four miles away in the last cut, co -foreman Mitch Blaschke and Brennan

Ruhl are running wash plant Big Red.

How's it going?

Oh, not too bad.

We're ready to move the wash plant again.

You guys have a plant move coming up tomorrow then, huh? Yep, for sure.

And if that can't find the other plant to plant, I'll move it.

What's our game plan for tomorrow? I mean, if we're trying to move both

at the same time, that's going to be a handful.

Okay.

We're going to both need the rigging.

Rigging, yeah, that's going to be a problem.

There's going to be a few things that have to get juggled, but it should be

the usual.

Perfect.

Let's do it.

To get ready for the move.

Brennan builds a wash plant pad.

Part of all this is, we've never had two plants ready to move at the exact same

time. You know, we're already stripped thin with people not being here, and if

anything is wrong in either plant move, you know, it's really going to set us

behind.

Mitch starts the teardown.

Hey, Chris, you got a copy?

Yeah, Mitch, what up?

Everything's done sleuthing, and we just need to clean this up so we can move

these around.

We're landing up Sluicifer. Full box.

You're still at Sluicifer.

I got my whole crew. I can't move them now.

We're going to be waiting on you.

Sorry, bud.

All right. We'll just get here as soon as we can. We'll figure something out.

Talk to you later.

If we're already starting the morning this way, I hate to see how the rest of

the day is going.

Next morning, in the lay -down yard, mechanic Shane Smith arrives in search

equipment for the slucifer move.

We're a little short on rigging here. I'm trying to beat Mitch and Brennan to

the punch because I think we're going to be ready to move slucifer before they

are. I just care about having the rigging before they come and get it.

Then we'll have no choice. We get to move first.

Well, we got a big day then, both watch plants, same time. We've never had to do

this before.

I mean, you guys got the 750, so you got some horsepower down there for dragging

sluice first.

We got 480 is the only thing.

It's going to be a challenge for sure.

Who's going to be up first?

Yeah, I bet you it's going to be us there.

Oh, yeah?

Well, we'll see.

Well, we got the rig in, so they can have to.

Fight us for it.

All right. Well, see you at the end of the day. Which one's shaking first? Good

luck, guys. All right.

On Paradise Hill, Klondike legend Tony B is making up for a late start.

At the Mega Cup, which Tony believes could get him 3 ,000 ounces of gold.

Son Mike is chewing through 350 yards of pay dirt an hour. Yeah, James, how's it

going up there?

My day is going great.

Yeah, that's perfect, James. Keep it going, eh?

Another nice day of fluthing, which is good, since the only thing fluthing

now is a trommel.

To cash in on high gold prices, Tony's also been searching for other quick

scores on the hill.

So Mike is losing weight right now. It's not quite enough for what we want to

do. We got a lot of hunker cuts. We got 100 ounces out of the piggy bank.

So we kind of have a plan. I always wanted to check out the whole time of

sailing. And if there ever was a time, then today the gold price is high, fuel

price is low.

So let's see what we can find out then.

Half a mile away from Mike's promo.

Tony spotted a pile of rocks and gravel that he believes are tailings, left over

by old -timers, lying below the remains of an old sluice run.

Morning again, Kevin. Morning again, Kevin. Do you copy?

Yo, what's up?

Can you meet me at the old -timer's tailings place?

There's quite a bit of history on this hill.

This hill is the first hill that had mechanical mining in the Klondike. Oh,

yeah. They want to jump down in the gully. She was there. Yeah. But I didn't

think you guys ever seen this one before.

Nope.

Now, did you recently get told? No.

I've been wondering for 35 years.

Oh, you see that? That wooden thing here?

That is the spruce box.

They did that 80 years ago because they monitored that hill, and in those days

they had one wooden clues box. It was probably a couple hundred feet long, and

they cleaned that clues box up once a year in those days.

They quit in the end of the 50s. They probably started around when the gold

happened. Probably.

The remains of the old mine working date from the 1940s.

Old -timers used hoses to wash valuable pay dirt from the hillside into the

sluice rust.

Their basic technology only caught half the gold. But the ground was so rich,

they still pulled in thousands of ounces.

Now, Tony wants to find out what they left behind in their discarded tailings

pile.

It would be nice to get an excavator there because nobody had done that

And see what we've got. Yeah.

Today, it doesn't take much gold to make a living. No, not at the current

prices. So I think it'd be worth a venture. What do you guys think?

I'd like to check it out, see what's in there. Yeah, that as well.

Throw in some test with a little trommel maybe. Yep. And then we'll just take it

from there.

You see all them boards in the bank?

Oh, yeah. That's where the material used to come over the hill, right?

Oh, yeah. All the crap, they flew us over the top.

So we got to check all the way down.

Tony's located the old -timer's tailings pile halfway down the hill.

Now he must dig up a sample to find out if it contains lost gold.

know about it.

Monica, you gotta put more in than that.

He's not the one that has to lift them. Into the... Fill them up.

Fill them up.

Monica runs the tailings through the test trommel to send up to the gold room

where Tony Pens to concentrate.

Time will tell you shortly.

If it is good, we'll close it.

Look.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

You see that?

It's all over the pen.

That's a loaded roll.

And that's a very, very good indicator down there.

Hey, Mini Beats, do you copy?

I do.

Come have a look at your next project.

Be right out.

You know, it is all fine and fine and fine.

But, I mean, it's all through the thing.

Look.

See that?

Loaded with it. Look at it. There's a lot of gold in there.

It's actually exciting.

Oh, and you're so excited, though?

No, but you know what I mean, right? You look at this pile for 35 years and you

wonder. Oh, my God.

And now you finally win that, you don't feel too smart.

I think the next step will be we'll put them through the New Zealand plant.

That is all stripped, ready to go, been washed before.

We're likely to be sluicing there for three, four weeks.

That'd be kind of like free money. I like it.

You know, and whatever we get out of that, that'll make a difference to the

season, too.

Misfits, are we ready to rumble?

Let's get ready to rumble!

In Oregon's Elkhorn Mountains, rookie mine boss Fred Lewis has gambled his

$20 ,000, setting up a gold mine with a Greenhorn crew of combat veterans.

We've been here four weeks with only half an ounce of gold to show.

Problem after problem keeps plaguing us here on the claim. If we don't get it

moving today...

The rest of the season is going to be a washout, and we're going to go home with

nothing.

Stand by, stand by, stand by.

Fred's foreman, Kendall Madden, is the only member of the team with any mining

experience.

You ready?

Are you ready?

He's in charge of firing up the watch class, Colonel Nugget, for their first

full week of sleuthing.

Water's coming.

Water's coming!

We're actually giving it pager right now, so it's a victory.

This crew of veterans arrived three weeks ago on a mission to turn their

around.

You know, gold means a lot to all of us. Just another disabled bat who kind of,

you know, come on rough times and out of work for a year and a half.

Special Operations Sergeant Kyle Pletschke sees the plan.

We're here to dig. We're here to find gold.

Prove to ourselves, prove to the world that, hey, find yourself down in your

luck, it doesn't matter.

Pick yourself up, go again.

Go for the gold, baby.

I truly feel like I'm blessed with this group of veterans because we can trust

each other so much. We can rely on each other in some pretty significant ways,

and I'm expecting these guys to come out like rock stars.

Fred and I were both at the Special Operations Language School at Fort

North Carolina.

Less than two months later, we got married in Vegas.

Fred's wife, Kara, Army Psychological Operations Specialist, has come in to

manage the claim.

Fred might be the mine boss, but I am the mine manager.

He's going to have to deal with me telling him when things need to get

I have never managed a mine before. I've never actually mined before.

So it's definitely a hands -on learning experience.

But I've been ordering the books that we need. We need our surface mine daily

inspection book. We need our checklist for the vehicles.

Our MSHA certificates arrived because we just got done doing our MSHA training.

MSHA is the Mine Safety and Health Administration.

They give us what we need to be to be compliant for our safety. And if we

compliant, if we don't follow the rules, MSHA will come out here, and they will

tag us with massive fines.

There's a lot of stuff I'm seeing that I'm really nervous we might not be

compliant with.

We'd get hit with a fine big time if those inspectors came right now.

We'd be in a lot of trouble.

I knew that we were going to financially struggle just trying to get by. So I

came up with this. I honestly didn't think he could pull it together, but he

has.

However, we actually personally know the crew, and these aren't just his

friends. They're kind of our family, and you don't want to let family down.

If this collapses, if this doesn't work out, We're screwed. They're screwed too.

So there's a lot on the line. It's a lot of pressure.

So I can go a little faster.

Now we're running pay. We're catching gold.

That's why we're here.

Yep. Yep. That's perfect. Just like that.

Water flow is pretty good. Our feed rate is pretty consistent.

Just got to keep doing it thousands of times over.

So right now I'm going to climb up in the...

Colonel, and see if I can't put some of that stuff not meeting.

You are just standing up there with no harness, nothing, any little thing could

have happened.

We just have to stop to get everything intra -ready. We are not ready to be

running at all. We have a lot to do.

All right, listen, I've got this list in the truck.

I love you, babe. I know. You better take this serious.

I'm taking it serious.

If an inspector shows up, we are going to get hit with at least $100 ,000 worth

of fines. We're going to get shut down.

There are certain things I'm really glad to have Fred around in.

One of them is getting yelled at right now.

I mean, what does he really want, though? We got hard hats, right? What

we need?

We have to get a protective cage around the belt. We need rails on the catwalk.

We need a weatherproof power box to the generator in the plant.

So are you sure we have to do all this stuff?

I'm 100 % certain.

But if you don't want to take my word for it and you want them to come and

us down and send all these guys home with nothing, be my guest.

Because that's on you.

It's not going to be on me.

At Indian River, for the first time ever, Parker's crew is moving two watch

lines on the same day.

Both crews need to complete their move in a single step.

Right now, we've kind of got things going on that are all not the most

enjoyable.

Big rat's moving.

Sluicifer's moving.

And hopefully we can get it sorted out. It's catching up on us a little bit

because we're four -handed.

Well, do you want to hang that over?

Sounds good. I'll walk on over.

On the promised land... We might have to go this way.

...rookie plant boss Tyson will move Sluicifer with Parker's biggest

the 750.

We've got the cables all hooked up to Sluicifer and...

Going to drag her over there.

While at the last cut.

Woo! All right! Yeah!

Plant move!

Parker's trusted co -foreman Brennan must make do moving Big Red 140 yards

the smaller 480.

Dude, we want to show those boys up, right? Yeah, yeah.

Big Red, let's do this!

have a whole crew out here. Now we've done it fast, now we do it quickly.

I mean right now we're trying to do all this with two people, it's pretty

ridiculous.

I don't know, I've moved this thing a million times, it's not too bad.

Usually I have Mitch walk alongside me, guide me, but we got a lot to do today,

so the more he can do while I'm gone doing this, the better.

We're going to do everything we can here, just keep going.

Hopefully Brandon gets this over there without screwing anything up.

I'm a little bit nervous pulling it up that hill because it is pretty steep.

If we don't have our 700, the timing couldn't have been worse, but you know,

may be as low as it got.

It won't go.

You've got to be kidding me.

Whoa!

Over at the promised land, rookie plant boss Tyson is hauling sluiceable 120

yards to its new pad.

He uses the 750 to pull the 45 -ton plant to its new pad.

It's gonna be a one -shot deal.

What are you concerned about?

It's pretty soft.

If he sinks it in, we're just screwed.

Gotcha.

Everybody here knows what they're doing.

Hopefully we can get it sorted out.

You know.

The best we can.

Time for the uphill.

Yeah, okay. We can get this up the hill, okay.

Moving it with the 750, it's the biggest machine we got.

So it's the right one for the job.

He doesn't usually pull the loop spur that often.

So hopefully he'll get it right the first time.

We made the ramp out of quartz tail ends. It's pretty soft.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, hold it, hold it, hold it. Stop right there.

One mistake, and then we've got to pull it down and redo the whole ramp again.

Come on, you.

Come on.

This wash plant weighs 90 ,000 pounds and it's just pulling me down.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, get up this hill.

It won't go. It won't go!

At the promised land, rookie plant boss Tyson Lee is working against the clock,

struggling to drag Lucifer up a soft pan.

Man, this lock plant's heavy.

Tyson, come out and throw your bucket flat. Sit in there, and then just throw

your bucket out.

Okay. You don't get going. You just got to keep doing it until you get up the

hill.

There you go.

Come on, you.

Come on.

Let's go get up this hill.

Hey, Shane, how does it look?

You just got to keep doing it. It hits by hand.

Whoo!

How we looking, Shane?

We're going to make it. Things are coming pretty good now.

Somebody watch my back end. Half track.

Nice job, dude.

You're looking pretty.

Perfect. You happy?

Yeah, I'm happy. We're going to win this one.

That's good.

Thanks, man.

Back at the last cut, six hours into the move, Brennan has already got Big Red

onto its form.

How'd that go?

Told me winch cat.

I only see one problem.

What? Going the wrong way.

Back. Big.

We can spin it up here.

That's going to tear things up. You can already see how bad it's digging in.

The easiest thing would be to pull it back down the hill, bring it back up,

have it right where it needs to be.

It's all right.

We're just trying to win a race here and show the other guys up.

We're just doing things twice. It's pretty cool.

After half a day dragging the plant onto the pad, Brennan now has to spend

another two hours turning it around.

Now we wait.

We want to be up and running before Big Red is.

Lucifer's all set up. We got the feeder in, the super stacker in.

Water pump's in, pipeline's in. Ready to fire up.

Well, we fired it up. I hope we won.

Hey, Brenda, you got a copy?

What's going on, Tyson?

We're up and running, man.

I think you might have beat us. We kicked your ass.

Good for you, bud. Good for you.

Man, like, if you would have brought the plan in the right way, we would have

beat them, even though they had the 750 and more help. Whatever. Come on, man.

Yeah, well, whatever.

We're back, Clewson.

A lot better than the other guy. We're up there backwards this morning.

A little bit of a brain fart going on.

On Paradise Hill, Tony Beetz has discovered gold in a monster pile of old

-timers' tailings.

The gold

-rich

tailings are lying right on the surface, so Tony can run them straight away.

With gold prices up and the cost of running the tailings so low, these

tailings could give Tony a massive extra payday.

Monica feeds the kiwi plant with 100 yards of pater an hour.

While rookie loader operator Desiree Likens... Hey, Desiree!

...clears fine tailings from the end of the spruce rug. Looks pretty nice on

there. Yep, everything's good.

Tony, there's extra pumps about what we can get from this old -timer cut.

because right now it's just the time we're going.

Hey, Desiree?

Desiree?

Look out!

It's off the plant! It's off the plant! Pull it!

so you can get this done, the better, because it just costs enough money.

On

Paradise

Hill, Monica B's loader operator has run into the wash plant.

I hit the cable and the tray fell.

Gavin, do you got the Gavin?

The loose run is off.

Every hour the plant is down costs Tony up to $2 ,000 in lost gold.

Yep.

How's that welded on that side? One sec.

Our hoe operator hooked the cable there, the bucket, when they were pulling out,

and that pulled this beam forward, and that caused this run to get pulled

forward, and that twisted our beam over here.

Fun, fun, fun.

All we're going to have to do is bend that bar back straight, weld the piece

back on relatively straight, and then reset the angle on the run.

Welder Cody Hunter removes the sluice run to get to the broken beam.

Pull that back there. Put a couple little tacks on it.

Split this, we'll be done.

He cuts a slot so he can bend it.

Yeah, we'll just pull that back there.

That's hot.

and then welds it back together.

Heaven. Beam's all straightened back out now. It's all welded up and ready for

the next time.

Beautiful. You like that?

Thanks.

Gonna put this run back on.

Reset the box.

That's the current plan. We'll see what blows up between now and the end of

that.

Ready now?

Another one bites the dust.

The fix has cost them eight hours.

Let's do this.

Fire it up.

Right when we started going, I think we were glistening for 15, 20 minutes.

We ran into a snake.

Now it's all fixed.

I'm excited to see what we're going to get there.

It is kind of nifty that the old -timers, they did a bunch of sleuthing,

they lost so much.

So it'll be very interesting to see what we're going to pull out of what all

they missed.

It did look good in the mini -trauma.

As for what we're going to get out, hopefully a lot more.

We'll find out when we put it on the table.

You know, since we've been here, we've had to shut down multiple times.

I know the guys are getting antsy, and I know they're biting at the bit to get

going, and this is just another letdown for them.

In Oregon, Special Forces medic turned gold miner Fred Lewis is at a

Just doing what I have to do, keep us running.

Wife and mine manager Kara has pulled the plug until they can meet safety

standards. I'm the one who is making sure that we are MSAW compliant and that

are following all the rules and doing everything that the state of Oregon

us to do in order for our mine to be safe, for our mine to be legal. We can't

afford any problems.

MSAW is the authority in charge of mining.

If they find violation of safety rules, they can shut down the mine and

fine the operator hundreds of thousands of dollars.

all i wanted to do was come out here get a little bit of gold while the world is

going crazy yeah this m shock is a lot more stringent than i expected

but it is crazy dangerous so we got to stay extra safe because we want to

make sure everyone comes out with all their fingers and toes to meet

Foreman Kendall needs to move the generator onto stable ground.

We got the generator all cleaned up, ready to go. We took the hood off so we

move her down into its permanent position.

You've got to remember, if you slip up, this thing full of oil and gas all

spills into our water and essentially ruins our season. So, no pressure or

anything, but... No, no, no, whatever.

You know.

Three weeks ago.

Master Sergeant Stephan generally's only experience of heavy equipment was in

the military.

For my first 10 years in the Army, I commanded a Bradley fighting vehicle.

Almost up off the ground.

Driving mechanized vehicles in the Army, it's a lot different.

I'll swing out.

All right, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Right there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Nice and strong.

There you go.

We only have one generator.

It glows.

Baby movement, feather hands, feather fingers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on to it. Stay there.

All right, we're going to chalk this generator. Hopefully, he never has to

again.

Next step, we're going to level this bad boy.

Get her set and ready.

Woo -hoo! That was a ride I did not want to take, brother. The damn thing tilted

up. Not only is the generator going into the pond, but we're going with it.

That just about scared the out of me. I actually feel my heart going just a

little bit above normal.

$10 ,000 worth of equipment could have been in that water. That could have

ruined us right there.

Okay, let's anchor this thing and get the hell out of here.

How's it sketchy?

Woo!

It also looks smart. I hope it looks too.

Kyle fabricates safety rails for the wasp flag alongside infantry scout

Stuart McKenzie. Good.

Nothing's going up.

After I was wounded, I medically retired.

I became a firefighter.

I've always kind of searched that out, you know, camaraderie, brotherhood, you

know, where your life is on the line and somebody else is holding it.

It's something that will always stay with me, kind of woven in the soul.

Looks like the guys have been pretty busy.

I am. We've got to weld that up.

And is that perfect or what?

How high is it?

Hit point inches.

Hip -tight inches.

That's how you guys measure that. Yeah, because we are 36 inches.

36? Yeah.

What made you 36 inches?

Fred just told us that it was like hip -tight. You guys need to come to me.

You've got to be at 42.

42?

He said basically as long as it's like you won't topple over.

Fred is just going to give you the answer that's going to get you going.

I mean, that's the answer we all want, though. We're trying to finish this up

we can get back to gold mining. We're here for gold. I want gold, too.

But let me ask you, what happens to us if MSCOT shows up tomorrow morning and

these are only 36 inches?

And then Fred's going to be like, well, guys, sorry, I don't have $40 ,000.

We're done for the season. In fact, we're done forever.

I think we have more work to do, man.

We're good.

It sucks. I'm the bad guy. I don't want to be the bad guy. I like to take crazy

risks sometimes too, but we have too much riding on this. We can't take any

risks at this point.

What's up, you goons? At Lower Duncan Creek, it's a big day for Rick Knapp. I

think it's probably time we rename him.

So you're going to name it after me?

It never works again.

You.

I think we just call it Rocky.

Yeah, I like that. I like that. That's not so bad. I like that.

Rocky was a pimp.

Exactly. Kicked everyone's ass.

Yeah.

Beat up the Russian and didn't give up. Let's rocky it out.

Fred Lewis and his crew are finishing the raft of safety measures they need to

get his claim compliant so they can get back to mining.

Trying to get it up.

So we've got the grate up on the kernel.

You want to hand that up to me?

Really?

This is awesome, dude.

We've got a weatherproof box. I think we're all up and running.

Can we go to Kara?

I want to see her, but I don't want to see her.

Kara, can you come up to the plant?

Things are looking a little different around here. I think we're ready.

Well, show me.

Mine manager Kara must sign off before Fred can finally start sluicing for

Hi fellas.

Looks like you guys have been busy. Busy with everything but mining.

Okay.

Let me see these rails.

These are perfect height.

Well, these are actually put in here really nice.

I'm very pleased.

Good job, babe.

I have to say, this is pretty impressive.

I am shocked at the amount of progress you guys were able to make.

So can we do it?

I'm going to give you the go -ahead. I'm going to say yes. Go, guys.

Go to the places.

Idol time.

This has been a really brutal week.

I felt like I was the bad guy all week long, but ultimately Fred followed the

orders and...

We really came together as a team.

Almost ready!

I think it's a good thing that we bounced off each other, because I'm a

more risky, you're a little more nerdy.

Kind of a good combo.

I'm not a nerd.

Yeah, you're kind of a nerd.

You know, working as a team's tough, especially when you don't know exactly

you're doing, so there's a learning curve. But we're finding our groove now,

I think with the plan up and running, our next sites are on bedrock and the

mother load.

In the conduct, Parker's crew arrived for their weekly gold way.

Howdy, Dumit.

Hi, Shane.

How are you? Good, good. Good.

Thank you guys for getting that all moved. I know it was a lot of work.

Well, who would plan two plant moves in the same day? Really, the sluice for

moves went well.

Can't speak for big red ones. I wasn't down there.

It went pretty good.

Yeah? Yep. Dragging it up backwards worked well.

It went up there.

You never know.

It goes pretty good pretty quick when you only have to set the plant once.

Yeah, it was a big competition trying to beat you guys. We were a couple hours

behind you.

Are those plant spots, are they going to be solid?

Oh, yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Shane, you're happy with everything out there?

It's been going pretty good.

Good. We're going to look at some gold? Yeah.

All right, here you go. This is Lucifer.

So far this season.

Lucifer has averaged 280 ounces a week.

20, 40, 60, 100, 101

.35.

Worth $177 ,000.

Maybe it'll pick up.

100 ounces, 100 ounces, right?

And this is big red here.

Even though you start out backwards, Junior, here you go.

0 .1, 0 .2, 10, 20, 40, 60,

80, 89 .40.

Adding another $156 ,000 to the total. But way off Big Red's season average

of 240 ounces.

Not a lot of huge numbers.

It can always be more.

It can always be more, right?

It can also be a lot less.

Okay, so for the week we wound up with 190 ounces and a season total of 2 ,494

ounces. Yeah, it's not terrible.

Well, let's hope next week's better than that.

We'll see.

You know, there's a long way to go.

Well, should we get back out of there, boys? All right. Good job, Junior.

Thanks, Pop.

I'll drink it up right next time. Thanks, Junior. You bet. You guys are

crazy.

At Paradise Hill, the Beats family meet to find out if Tony's pressure hunt in

the old primer's tailing has paid off.

It would be kind of nice to see where that TV plant is going to weigh all

I mean, if it does as good as the pan, that would be kind of nice.

But first, the gold from running mega -cut pay dirt through Mike's promo.

So, how was your week there, Mike?

Oh, nothing bad. Moved quite a bit of dirt.

Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, cleaned up, done.

To hit his 3 ,000 -ounce season goal, Tony needs 177 ounces

a week.

Worth

$287

,000.

Next up, time to find out if Tony was right to run the old -timer tailings.

With the breakdown,

they only ran for four hours.

Normally, Tony looks for an ounce per hundred yards. With these tailings, Tony

can make a profit.

With half of that. If we can get one or two ounces out of that 400 yards, I'd be

pretty happy.

Got it. Let's weigh it.

0 .4.

0 .7.

1 .6.

2. 2 .5.

4 .22.

For $7 ,400.

Tony's hunch about the old -timer's tailings.

has paid off.

That means that's an ounce for every 100 yards.

That's very accessible.

That is very accessible.

Awesome, Wyatt. That was amazing.

The material that we ran of the tailings, they're doing better than what

doing on the hill.

Let's get out there and do some more.

You guys don't have to worry. There you go.

Next time, Rick Ness.

Follows his instinct.

If there's a pile of gold in there, that wipes out my late start.

But it could cost him his career. That's what I call dumb.

Veteran Fred Lewis.

We're running, Ted!

Gets back on the gold.

It's been a while, but this is it!

And Tony B.

Moves heaven and earth. Stop, stop, stop! Watch out! To set up a vital new

plan.
