For this trip to be a success,

I really want to find A piece of ground

That either has Lots of gold on it

Or some really big gold on it.

This off-season, parker schnabel

Is looking to expand His horizons in australia.

Australia has the biggest Gold reserves in the world,

And they're producing More gold than they ever have.

I mean, take a look At the nuggets

That come out of australia And tell me

That you wouldn't Want to come here.

It's just gonna be A whole new world.

These are the two largest Nuggets I have ever found.

Where we get frozen out Of the yukon after six months,

Here, you don't Have that problem.

Look at that. -no. Three?

Just pulling gold Out of the wall.

You can mine here 12 months a year.

This is a new team,

And I don't know What that dynamic will have.

Yes! You're a hero.

Have a great teacher. Thank you.

I'd like to think that we'll Come out of here smiling

And having fun and laughing.

Good job. You did great.

But I'd be lying if I said It was gonna be

That way the whole time.

Every single thing Is broken.

This is bull That should have been done.

We can't mine at all.

I'm done. I'm just done with it.

-jerry! -aw

-ohh! -parker!

Smoking up a bit.

What the Is that?

-whoa! -oh!

brutal.

Well, I know we'll have Some hard times.

what the Is it doing?

I know australia is gonna be Hotter than hell.

Look at the fire.

There's the five most deadly Snakes and spiders in the world.

Aah!

-whoa! -aah!

But none of that matters

If you find A good enough piece of ground.

Holy

Are you kidding me? Shut up!

I will mine in hell If the ground's good.

the freezing yukon Winter is shutting down

Parker schnabel's mine site

And with it any means He has of mining for gold.

We're all done sluicing.

It's pretty much Last couple things to do

Before we shut down camp.

we've been very Successful in the yukon,

But we have massive limitations Up here

As far as The length of our season

And just the amount Of ground we've got.

You know, if we mine 7,000 Ounces worth of gold every year,

Well, we need to find A new piece of ground

That has at least That much in it every year

Or else you're gonna Go out of business.

You can be the best gold miner In the world,

And if you're on ground, You're gonna go broke

Just as fast as anybody else.

Running a mine site Is difficult.

Every season up here Is a big challenge.

Definitely a very weird decade I've had.

What's up?

Since the age of 15...

Let's go for an adventure.

...Parker has been dreaming

Of making it big gold mining.

After years Of taking huge hits...

More like Klondike

...He's established himself

As one of the best In the klondike.

Ooh.

That's $3 million Right there on the table.

Now at only 25 years old,

He's ready to expand His business.

Man, australia, I might go

Try and find Some ground over there.

You could go and talk To this guy, though.

This ted fella.

adrian has contacts In australia,

And I know there's a hell Of a lot of gold there

And a lot of production, So let's go find some gold.

hi, ted?

Good. How are you doing?

Yeah, he recommended

That I talk to you About mining in australia.

We're hoping to come over And kind of,

I guess, As you guys would say,

Suss out the mining situation In australia,

So we need A pretty good local guide.

Would you be interested In doing that?

Right.

yes?

Hi.

Awesome.

Yeah, not too bad. It's starting to get cold.

It's, what, I don't know, Minus 5.

So I was just telling Your dad here we're planning

On making a trip Over to australia,

And I don't really Know anybody

That has a good shoe Into the industry

And so we need A local guide.

What part of the country Are you guys in?

So it's something You do?

Good.

Well, why don't Why don't

I prefer dealing With things face-to-face.

Would you be interested In coming over here

And checking The yukon out?

On your way Through vancouver,

You might want To buy a coat.

she seems definitely The type of person that we need

For getting into those mine Sites and finding those areas.

Come on, get in. Let's go.

Right now, I feel good about the trip.

I really want to just be there

And get on the ground And start exploring.

And hopefully we can get The whole team on board.

I'm late to the airport To pick up danny.

He's flying in.

I think his plane Already just landed,

So...

I'm a ways from town.

To document the trip,

Parker has enlisted An old friend,

Adventure cameraman Danny etheridge.

So me and parker and I go back About seven or eight years.

I've got a lot of respect For him,

And I'd like to think

That he has got a bit Of respect for me.

About time.

Dude, really?

How long have You been sat here?

Landed at 1:00.

It's 4:00. It's 4:00.

Give me a hug.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

danny filmed parker And the team

In guyana and papua new guinea.

Are you nervous?

I'm for you.

Wow. This is awesome, mate.

I'm just waiting For a big ball

To start rolling down In front of me

And chasing us out The other end.

fire in the hole!

Oh, my god!

It's good to see you, man.

It's good To see you, too.

Oh

Ha! Dozer!

Dozer. Come on.

That would've been the icing On the cake.

Come on, doze-man.

Almost forgot him.

Yay. This is exciting.

I'm trying to get excited.

Why are you trying?

I haven't even really Talked to karla

And fred about it.

That's not good.

So right now, We don't even know

If karla or fred Are coming.

Well, You and I are going.

-karla! -hey, dude!

karla ann is finishing Up six months of mining

With rick ness

And is ready For her next adventure.

I know. Nice to see you.

She's a veteran Of all three trails.

Former special forces medic Fred lewis

Joined parker's team Last year in papua new guinea,

Risking his life To keep parker alive

And has been with him Ever since.

Thanks, fred.

Living the dream, huh?

Yeah, you too.

I love it. Do you?

Yeah. That's great.

I mean, I don't like The cold, but

Yeah. What about away From your family, too?

That sucks.

It's been causing A little bit of issues,

But we're working Through it.

Well, I haven't Really heard much.

Honestly, I haven't heard From parker since last year,

And I don't really know What the plan is.

I've got I kind of need Some information.

I think he just wants to kind of Go over everything

All at once with everybody Instead of, you know,

Having people find out here And there, so...

Well, Let's go figure it out.

-hey, hey. -hey.

How are you doing? Good, how are you?

Good. Good to see you. Yeah, man.

You good? How you doing? Been a long time.

Wicked To see you again, man.

so how are You doing, karla?

I'm good, man. I'm just kind of Waiting to hear from you.

Don't really know What we're up to

And just kind of Wondering what's going on.

This is what's going on Australia.

And so my plan right now Is to just follow

The kind of the history Of the gold rushes,

Which are on the map there.

Victoria, there's lots Of gold come out of there.

It started in 1851,

And then I was thinking We'd go up to palmer,

Where the next one was, And then over to kimberley,

And then over To western australia,

Which is where Western australia,

There's some huge mining Going on over there.

That's a lot of travel.

Yeah, It's a...Big old continent.

and australia Is actually full

Of, like, deadly animals And stuff, too.

So it's not just like

If we did go out And explore,

We'd probably Have to be careful

About being eaten Or bitten.

Sun exposure in The middle of a desert

That's 130 degrees.

What, you think I'm gonna cook?

I think You're gonna bake.

Fred! You're in the military.

Why are you acting like You're on the fence on this?

It's really not me You got to worry about.

It's my daughter, emma, And kara

Because She's already told me

The next place We go needs to be safe.

None of these trips Are particularly safe.

and that's why we need You there big-time.

I'm not gonna be like P and g or guyana.

We are going to be more focused On the mining side of things

And actually evaluating Pieces of ground

And looking at opportunities.

So you want To mine there?

I mean, I want to

I want to realistically evaluate The possibilities.

I think there will still be A huge amount of exploring.

But, yeah, the days of, like, Beating through a jungle

For weeks on end, I'm hoping, are over.

I love those days.

That's that's That's what I enjoy.

That's, like, what I love About these trails.

Yeah. I don't I don't I don't know what to tell you.

I want you guys to come.

I would hate to do a trip Like this without you three,

But at the same time, You have to want to, right?

I'm not gonna try To twist your arm.

You got to want to do it.

So are you guys in or out?

I belong In the mountains.

I'm out, man. It's just not my cup of tea.

It's gonna suck. I mean, this is bizarre.

It's my first trail That I haven't done.

You and I were the survivors.

I know. I know.

You know, life is short And just for this year,

My priorities are getting back To my roots and my true essence,

Which is out in the local Canadian wilderness.

I want to go,

But I also don't want my family To be unhappy with me.

So are you in or out?

up ahead, a new mining Prodigy braves the yukon.

I'm freezing cold. It's hit me hard.

Parker tries to build a team.

What are you expecting From me, parker?

First impression about tyler

Is that she's The girl version of parker.

and fred faces The biggest decision

Of his mining career.

I just want to do The right thing

For everybody, you know?

I really don't know, dude.

You're gonna have to come To that decision

Fairly quickly, Aren't you?

I've always said I'll go Where the gold is.

And if we find lots of gold,

Then you might see me mining in Australia the rest of my life.

You never you never know and I'm not gonna rule anything out.

25-year-old parker schnabel

Is preparing to leave The frozen yukon

In search of gold In australia.

His aim to prospect, Find gold, and stake a claim

That could keep him Mining year 'round.

But he's struggling To build a team,

And medic-turned-gold miner Fred lewis is on the fence.

Definitely was not expecting Karla to bow out.

And that kind of puts me In an awkward position now

Because I feel like If I don't go,

This thing kind of falls apart.

I have talked to my wife And figured everything out.

But as of right now, It's kind of,

I'm almost leaning a little bit Towards not going at this point.

so far only adventure Cameraman danny etheridge

Has committed To the 6,000-mile trail.

Yay. This is exciting.

Well, that was A little

I'll be honest, I was not expecting it

To go that way at all.

With karla, I kind of get it

In that, I don't know that, Like, being around mine sites

Anymore than She already is

Is a good Thing for her.

And with fred, It's like he used to go

To the middle east In the special forces.

Now he's got to check With his wife?

I mean, I'm guess I'm not married.

You're married, so I guess You probably understand how...

That's quite a powerful force He's got working

Behind in there, I can tell you that now.

I really feel like He can keep us alive.

You know? I trust his ability.

I mean, The fact of the matter

Is that fred saved our ass In papua new guinea.

Yeah. I mean, I trust him With my life,

And we definitely are not On the right start

With fred Being uncertain

And karla Having a hard no.

We could bring dozer.

arriving in dawson

After an 8,500-mile flight From western australia,

Tyler mahoney is On her way to meet parker.

The first thing that hit me Is the cold,

But also the scenery.

It is so beautiful.

a 24-year-old Prospecting expert,

Tyler has been mining Since she was 8.

Yes!

She's from a fourth-generation Mining family

Who have been hunting for gold For over a century.

I'd like to think I'm a little Bit of an entrepreneur.

I definitely can see An opportunity

When it comes around.

So I think we could probably Both benefit from this

If we can make it work.

Tyler has a network of mining Contacts throughout australia

That could prove key to parker Finding gold-rich ground.

I'm excited to meet parker.

I'm really hoping that We can form a relationship,

Especially trust.

You need a lot of trust In the gold game.

So I think we're just Rolling into camp now.

It's insane.

well, it looks like Somebody's here.

hello. Are you lost?

Yeah, it feels like it. How are you?

How was the flight? Yeah.

Probably a lot of them? A lot of them.

Took me a long time To get here,

But it's definitely Worth it.

Right. Good. You've got a big setup here.

Well, my truck's just over At the office here.

I can show you around. Yeah, that'd be great.

Sweet.

Are you interested to see

The difference In mining in aus?

Yeah, I think You'll really enjoy it.

That will be cool.

So in western australia, Where we're mining,

It's bone-dry, So we do dry-blowing mostly,

Which, yeah, it's like A wet plant but just no water.

Do they have very good Recovery rate?

They're not perfect, but You're gonna get a lot more

Compared To just using a detector

Because you're getting all The finds and everything.

It was actually quite cool

Getting to be a little bit Of a nerd with parker.

Every single person I've had to do with

In the gold game is over 50, So it was great to have a chat

With a young person In the gold game.

It's so rare.

I complain about it a bit,

But really I like being up here.

I love the yukon. I love gold mining.

That's awesome. You have to, hey.

Yeah. You'd go crazy otherwise.

I'm the same. I love the red dirt.

I love being out bush. I love gold.

Tyler seems like A really cool gal.

Pretty switched on.

Definitely enthusiastic And passionate about mining,

Which is important.

On the other side of camp,

Fred is still undecided.

Okay, nice and quiet?

He checks in with his wife Of 13 years,

Kara, back In washington state.

Hey. Hey, how you doing, babe?

Oh, sounds like fun.

Glad I'm not a teacher. yeah.

So are you busy Right now?

I got a few things I want To talk to you about.

okay.

So we had a big meeting With parker.

Australia is where He wants to go.

okay.

I've been here for The entire summer

And basically I'd be leaving again.

is there anything In the middle?

No. No. Not worth your time.

No, this will be Your biggest one.

Yeah, there's a lot of gold That's come out of there.

And then the palmer is probably The one I know least about.

But I know there is miners There doing well.

Yeah. Gotcha.

Oh, big trip. yeah.

So what are you expecting From me, parker?

I want to make sure that We have the best opportunity

To get On the best ground.

Yeah. And so from your standpoint,

What will it take To make that happen?

Maybe if I do find you Some amazing ground

And you do really Well out of it,

Maybe just a spotter's Fee kind of thing.

Yeah, I think that seems More than reasonable.

I just think I'll need to trust you

And you'll need To trust me.

And the communication thing Will be important.

I would really like to do it. I love gold.

So I think it's gonna be A really good trip

If you'd have me on it.

Good.

Yeah. So I'm really excited.

Had a good chat with parker,

And we've kind of sorted out A plan, which is a good start.

And I've got a good Feeling about it.

tyler is definitely The type of person

That we need for finding Some good opportunities.

I hope he'll get fred on board And get this whole ball rolling.

I'll be honest with you.

I'm really on the fence On this one.

I guess I have a decision To make, then.

Thank you guys and I love you And I miss you.

I'll talk To you guys soon.

Wow.

Has that helped at all?

I don't know if that helped Or made things worse.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's hard to listen To your family

Tell you they miss you

And then tell you It's okay to go.

I just want to do the right Thing for everybody, you know?

25-year-old mine boss Parker schnabel

Is planning a 6,000-mile Quest around australia

Searching for gold-rich ground

That could change His mining operation forever.

So we've got real purpose And hopefully

We're gonna see serious Amounts of gold with this tyler.

Hopefully.

adventure cameraman And longtime friend

Danny etheridge Is documenting the adventure.

And new recruit Tyler mahoney

Is now the team's Australian mining expert.

They are pretty cool machines.

I'd actually love to get in one

And try and give it a go, To be honest.

Definitely not too often a girl Her age

Is just hopping in a loader And taking it for a spin.

Pretty cool.

doze-man! Dozer!

Whenever doze-man arrives...

That means he's near.

...Schnabel Is sure to follow.

-how's it going? -good. Good.

How's it going? -good. This is tyler.

Hi, guys. How are you?

Tyler. Nice To meet you finally.

Our aussie gold expert.

and how is it? Like, different from home?

Oh, amazing.

Yeah, the cold Is getting me a bit,

But the scenery And the mine site is insane.

tyler and danny Have committed to the trail.

Only fred's still undecided.

have you had Any more thoughts

About where you're at with it?

Australia is, like, immense.

There's just so much Involved in it,

And I don't know If that's the right way to go.

I just don't know.

What did kara had to say?

I was gonna say, I did have A chance to talk to her today.

So she's like, "If you're Happy, we'll be okay

Without you For a little while longer."

but she did say That she wanted you home.

Yeah. But she also said She wanted me home.

It was A good conversation.

But I've still been thinking Constantly the entire day

On what am I gonna do?

So I guess the big question I have is,

Is this a feasible Plan in your mind?

It's obviously Gonna be hard.

I don't want to say, "Oh, yeah,

100%, it will be the best Decision you've ever made."

But it's 100% doable.

I know for a fact There's gold there.

And we've got An amazing team

And a lot of knowledge Amongst us all.

So I think it's a great idea. I'm excited about it.

And I wouldn't waste My time if I wasn't.

I would love To have you on board.

So...

That's a good answer.

Well, I mean, ultimately It's up to you, fred.

I don't want you to go If you don't want to.

I told you when I met you

That I'm always gonna Have your back, right?

And I think one of The more important things to me

Is my integrity And my word.

And after talking to kara, I think that I am 100%

I'm gonna have to go. I want to be there.

I appreciate that. So I'm in.

-is that a yes? -I'm in.

Yeah!

Dude!

yes.

take your time.

We are going. Yeah. It's awesome.

Yeah.

What do you Think of that?

Most of the day I was nauseous Trying to figure this out

And now...

Now I know I'm where I need to be.

So I'm happy.

-where are those beers? -let's do it.

Beer time.

Fred is, like, a really big part Of this for me.

Cheers.

I really trust him, And I'm glad that he's on board.

Cheers.

At a dawson city watering hole,

The team gathers to initiate Their new member.

-cheers! -cheers!

-cheers. -cheers.

Good elf. Yeah?

and grill tyler, The team's only australian,

On what they'll be facing In the outback.

There is a spider That can kill you,

Like straight up? It bites you, you're dead.

Yeah, we've got The funnel web.

And are they gonna be Around the toilet?

When you come to australia And you're in the outback,

Lift the toilet seat up.

So what you're saying is, Is that

Taking a Is potentially deathly.

Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

At least the weather's Gonna be fine.

So it's gonna be,

Especially in the kimberleys, Around 130.

130?

That's pretty hot.

The worst will be halls creek That we're going to.

Everyone in australia Calls it hell's crack.

130?

To be completely honest,

I don't think they're going To be able to handle

I don't think they realize How hot it is.

So what about...

A bit of a drinking culture Over there? Right?

I'll drink you all Under the table.

Seriously? I don't know If you've seen

Should we make her do the...

It's like A rite of passage.

Terry, are you open For business?

Of course I'm open for business.

Feed her the toe.

the sour toe cocktail Is a dawson tradition.

Two shots of canadian liquor With a garnish of mummified toe.

I'm starting To get a bit anxious.

In 1973, Captain dick stevenson

Found an old pickle jar With a human toe in it

And came up with the idea Of the sour toe cocktail club.

Since then, a total of 10 toes Have been donated to replace

The ones that have been lost, Stolen, and swallowed.

You can drink it fast, You can drink it slow,

But your lips must touch This gnarly toe.

oh, my

This little piggy Went to market.

This little piggy Stayed home.

This little piggy Had roast beef.

This little piggy Had none.

This little piggy went, "Whee, whee, whee, whee"

All the way home.

Sláinte!

Okay.

Well done.

First impression about tyler

Is that she's The girl version of parker.

The first impression on tyler Is good.

She seems pretty cool actually.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom Really quick.

Danny, I've known for years, And he's a wicked guy.

Amazing.

Yeah. Thanks very much.

I'm pretty pumped That fred's onboard.

You got it.

Are you okay? I'm good.

Here's the evidence.

Thank you. I'll see you guys later.

It's a great group, And I'm glad we're together.

And I'm actually really looking Forward to what we can do

And what we can get Accomplished.

It feels like A lot of things

Are coming together On this one, doesn't it?

I'm really excited about The group that's coming.

It's like I want To see more gold.

I want to see bigger mine sites. I want to see some production.

Alright, let's do this. Let's go find some gold.

from the klondike, Parker and his team travel

8,000 miles to the state Of victoria in australia.

Australia covers nearly 3 million square miles.

This vast continent has The largest gold reserves

On the planet

And is home to The world's biggest nuggets.

Recent surveys estimate There is $450 billion

Worth of gold Still waiting to be found.

well, I've just landed In australia here, melbourne.

And it feels good.

There was a huge amount Of planning and effort

That went into this trip

And it's cool to finally Be here on the ground.

We're going up to ballarat First,

Which is one of the first places Mining started in australia.

The city of ballarat

Forms part of the legendary Golden triangle,

Where the first Major gold rush began

And the world's largest Nuggets have been found.

you look funny In the screen on the gopro,

Like up-the-nose angle Right there.

is it bad?

No, it's not that bad.

That's bad.

parker plans To travel 6,000 miles

Following australia's Historic gold-rush trail,

Starting with the rush to Victoria's goldfields in 1851.

Parker's team will then travel North to palmer river...

...Where in 1873,

Prospectors found Over a million ounces of gold.

Next, the kimberley's Goldfields,

Where heat and thirst killed

Hundreds of prospectors In the 1885 rush.

From here, parker will venture Further into western australia,

Ending the trail at kalgoorlie, Site of the 1893 gold rush

And the richest mile of ground Still being mined.

Alright, now we're just on Our way to go meet

Some prospectors That tyler knows.

It'll be Our first meeting

With australian Gold miners,

Other than tyler.

What are you expecting With these guys?

I don't know. I don't know What to expect.

Expect the unexpected.

Hey, fred.

Oh, was that fred?

Fred, answer the radio!

Yeah, Fred and tyler copy.

I think that Was someone else.

What was that?

What is this plugged into?

Sorry, it's all broken, We can't really hear you.

Is this plugged into that? But I can't hear.

Can you copy us?

We can. You should be on channel 2.

Hey, we are on channel 2, But I don't know

If you're not Holding your finger on the mic

Or your face Is too close to it.

Don't try to tell me how to use A radio, fred.

But you're coming in Like an elephant.

Maybe that's volume.

Hey, fred.

I had the volume And the channel mixed up.

I wanted to introduce parker To some local prospectors.

I thought it'd be a great Introduction to metal detecting,

Get him used to it And get him excited about it.

hi, fred.

What's going on?

How are you doing?

Good, how are you? Great.

hi. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? Yeah, not bad.

A little jet-lagged, But feeling good.

Yep.

I am extremely excited To get out here.

After parker's big flight, This is a nice activity

To ease him into the trip.

Yeah, it should be good.

-hey, guys. -hello.

How are you going, buddy? Neville.

Neville, nice to meet you.

Prospecting is a massive part Of mining in australia.

The biggest nuggets have been Found by the prospectors.

There's a lot of gold workings Down there,

And they're finding big nuggets The size of potatoes.

-oh, nice. -yeah.

metal detectors Are a vital tool

Used by australian prospectors To track down big gold.

Last year, not far from here, An amateur prospector

Found a 63-ounce nugget Worth over $100,000.

it's pretty exciting That you can go out there

With a detector and stumble Across hundreds

Of thousands of dollars Worth of gold.

Alright, so these guys Haven't detected before,

So we're gonna have To help them out.

In the yukon...

...Not...

Geez, fred, Sort that thing out.

there's a lot of metal Over here.

Turn the volume down.

I haven't found That button yet.

Do you need The instruction manual?

Yes.

Parker, you're gonna be With nev,

And I'm gonna take fred.

Alright, cool.

Alright, let's get into it. Alright.

You ready, fred? I'm born ready.

If I get something, Just say, "Hey"?

Shout me over. Okay?

Do you reckon, This is cool, right?

It's cool if we Don't get attacked

By some man-eating spider

Or beast-eating snake Or something.

21 of the world's Deadliest snakes

Are in australia,

Like the eastern taipan.

Its bite can kill in 30 minutes.

Aah!

Geez. Do not

That is not funny.

when I found The gold in ballarat,
