Narrator: ON THIS EPISODE
OF "PARKER'S TRAIL"...

OH, MY .
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Narrator: THE TEAM HEAD
TO NORTH QUEENSLAND...

Parker: HAVE WE COME
TO THE RIGHT PLACE?

Man: DEPENDS
WHAT PLACE YOU LOOKING FOR.

Narrator:
...IN SEARCH OF A CLAIM PARKER
CAN MINE ON HIS OWN.

I WANT TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE LOTS OF MONEY.

-Tyler: WOW.
-Parker: HOLY COW.

Danny: IT'S ALL REFLECTING
ON YOUR FACE, PARKER.

Narrator: BUT WITH TEMPERATURES
AND TEMPERS RISING...

I'M NOT OVERLY HAPPY
WITH THIS SO FAR.

I DON'T THINK PARKER IS
EITHER.

SHE'S NEW TO WORKING WITH ME,
BUT THIS IS HORSE .

Narrator:
...THE NEW PROSPECTING TEAM
START TO FEEL THE PRESSURE.

THE MINING DEPARTMENT.

IT'S JUST BULL .
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE.

-TERRY!
-OH,

--Captions by VITAC--
www.vitac.com

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

OH, WOW. THIS LANDSCAPE'S
CHANGING NOW, ISN'T IT?

YEAH, IT'S GETTING
REALLY DRY.

HANG ON! BRACE FOR IMPACT!

-WHOA!
-OH!

-OH, HOLY .

-OH. OH.
-OH,

Narrator: PARKER SCHNABEL IS ON
A LIFE-CHANGING MISSION

TO FIND A CLAIM IN AUSTRALIA
TO EXPAND HIS YUKON BUSINESS

INTO A GLOBAL OPERATION.

HELPING HIM ARE FRIENDS FRED,

DANNY, AND NEW TEAM MEMBER
TYLER MAHONEY.

Tyler: I BASICALLY HAVE TO
FIND HIM SOME GOOD GROUND.

I'M HOPING TO USE MY CONTACTS

AND MY LOCAL
PROSPECTING KNOWLEDGE

TO HELP FIND A BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY FOR PARKER.

Narrator:
IN VICTORIA, THE TEAM FOUND
GROUND WITH MORE GOLD PER YARD

THAN ANYTHING PARKER
HAS SEEN IN THE YUKON,

BUT TYLER BELIEVES
THERE ARE RICHER CLAIMS

FOR SALE FURTHER NORTH.

NOW THEY'RE FOLLOWING
THE OLD-TIMERS' GOLD TRAIL,

2,000 MILES TO THE PALMER
GOLDFIELDS IN QUEENSLAND,

HOME OF THE 1873 GOLD RUSH.

I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
THE PALMER GOLDFIELDS,

AND I THINK
YOU'LL LIKE IT, PARKER,

BECAUSE IT'S QUITE SIMILAR
TO THE KLONDIKE.

IT'S A GOLD-BEARING AREA
WITH LOADS OF HISTORY.

LOADS OF HISTORY.
THERE WAS LIKE

50,000 PEOPLE HERE IN THE FIRST
GOLD RUSH IN THE 1870s.

HOW MUCH GOLD DID THEY FIND? LOAD.

-IS THAT METRIC OR STANDARD?
-STANDARD.

Narrator: IN 1873,
PROSPECTOR JAMES MULLIGAN

FOUND 102 OUNCES OF GOLD
ON THE PALMER RIVER.

IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS,

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
FLOODED THE REMOTE REGION.

LIVING IN TENT CITIES,
THEY USED HEAVY MACHINERY

TO RECOVER 1 MILLION OUNCES
OF GOLD

WORTH $15 BILLION TODAY.

I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH,
BUT IT'S FRICKIN' HARD UP HERE.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF LEADS.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF GROUND
AVAILABLE. IT'S ALL TIED UP.

BUT I HAVE FOUND US
A LEASE THAT IS FOR SALE.

THE AD, IT SAYS, ABOUT 60
HECTARES OF GOLD-BEARING GRAVEL.

-WHOA.
-$110,000 NEGOTIABLE.

THE LEASE IS FOR SALE
BY A GUY CALLED JOHN WITHERS.

MY ONLY CONCERN IS THAT
I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE

TO GET
IN CONTACT WITH HIM.

MYSTERIOUS.

SO WE'RE JUST CHASING DOWN
AN ONLINE AD?

YEAH.WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

YOU NEVER KNOW WHETHER AN AD
LIKE THIS

THAT YOU FIND ONLINE IS GOING
TO BE SOMETHING FOR REAL

OR SOMEBODY STAKES SOME GROUND
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

WITH NO GOLD ON IT AND IS JUST
TRYING TO CON PEOPLE, RIGHT?

IF IT'S NOT --

I MEAN, THERE'S DEFINITELY
SOME PRESSURE ON TYLER HERE.

SHE'S BASICALLY BROUGHT US
ACROSS AUSTRALIA

FOR AN ONLINE AD
FOR A PIECE OF GROUND,

SO HOPING IT'S FOR REAL.

SO WE'RE GOING OFF-ROAD.

-WE'RE GOING INTO THAT?
-YEAH.

OH, .

IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BUMPY.
HOLD ON.

Narrator: THE REMOTE
AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK

IS ONE OF THE DRIEST PLACES
ON EARTH,

SPANNING OVER 2.2 MILLION
SQUARE MILES.

IT'S MORE THAN HALF THE SIZE OF
THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.

TYLER, ARE THERE
SNAKES OUT HERE?

YEAH. HEAPS. GREAT.

Narrator: THRIVING
IN THE ARID LANDSCAPE,

THE OUTBACK IS HOME TO SOME OF
THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST SNAKES,

INCLUDING THE INLAND TAIPAN.

WITH JUST ONE BITE,

IT RELEASES ENOUGH VENOM
TO KILL A HUNDRED PEOPLE.

THERE'S A HOUSE DOWN HERE.

Danny: FEELS A BIT LIKE WE'RE IN
THAT MOMENT IN A HORROR FILM

WHERE WE'RE ABOUT
TO GET MURDERED.

OH, HELLO, ARE YOU JOHN?

SORT OF?

YEAH.
SORRY --

-YOU'RE THE CARETAKER?
-YEAH.

-I'M PARKER.
-PARKER.

-I'M FRED.
-WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?

-JORDAN.
-JORDAN, NICE TO MEET YOU.

HEY, JORDAN. I'M DANNY.
YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE

YOU'RE FROM AUSTRALIA.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

-OH, COOL.
-OH, WOW.

OKAY.

-YOU RAN AWAY?
-YEAH.

SORRY, SO YOU'RE
CARETAKING FOR JOHN?

-YES, ACTUALLY.
-OKAY.

WHERE'S JOHN?

HE'S PLAYING POKER?YEAH.

-ACTUALLY IN VEGAS?
-YEAH. YEAH.

Fred: WOW.

DO YOU HAVE A MAP
OF THE LEASE OR ANYTHING?

OKAY. DO YOU KNOW ROUGHLY
WHERE THE BOUNDARIES ARE?

-YEP.
-CAN YOU SHOW US?

LET'S GET LOOKING.

IS THIS EVEN LEGIT?I HAVE NO IDEA.

I FEEL LIKE HE'S JUST A GUY
LIVING IN A SHED,

AND HE'S PUT AN AD
FOR IT ON GUMTREE.

Parker:
DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR ROUGHLY?

-OKAY.

I'M NOT LOVING THIS.
THIS IS BAD.

I THOUGHT JOHNNY WITHERS
WAS GOING TO BE HERE

AND BE REALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE
ON THE GROUND,

BUT I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT NOW
BECAUSE THIS BLOKE'S HERE.

NO MAPS, NO NOTHING.

MY PLAN IS GOING TO .

OH, MATE, LOOK AT THIS.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?
NO.

THERE'S HEAPS OF CROCODILES,
HE RECKONS.

OH, . JUST IN CASE
IT COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE.

HOW BIG?

OH...

WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THEM?

GREAT.

SO CAN WE DO SOME TESTING HERE?YEAH.

WHATEVER YOU LIKE TO TEST.

IF YOU WANT TO BRING THE TROMMEL
DOWN AND SEE

IF YOU CAN GET
A ROUTE IN HERE, FRED.

YEAH, JUST TELL ME
WHERE YOU WANT IT.

YEAH, I'M NOT OVERLY HAPPY
WITH THIS SO FAR.

I DON'T THINK PARKER IS EITHER.

YEAH, I DON'T THINK PARKER
IS AT ALL.

I'M A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS.

WHERE DID TYLER BRING US?

SHE'S NEW TO WORKING WITH ME,
AND I DON'T WANT TO GO

FULL PARKER ON HER RIGHT NOW,
BUT THIS IS HORSE .

Tyler:
I'M A LITTLE BIT STRESSED.

HOW ABOUT ME, PARKER,
AND FRED, WE'LL GO AND START

PULLING THE TROMMEL OFF.YEAH.

AND YOU GO AND HAVE A CHAT
WITH JORDAN.

-YEAH. OKAY.
-COME ON THEN.

THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS
THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED, HEY?

MM.

HELLO.

HELLO, HELLO.

SO I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU SOME
QUICK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LEASE.

I REALLY NEED ALL THE RED TAPE
TO BE DONE,

EVERYTHING TO BE CLEARED
FOR US TO START MINING.

SO PROBABLY MY FIRST QUESTION
WOULD BE,

HAS THERE BEEN
A CULTURAL WALKTHROUGH?

Narrator:
CULTURAL WALKTHROUGHS

ARE SITE INSPECTIONS
REQUIRED BY LAW.

THEY'RE CONDUCTED
BY INDIGENOUS ELDERS

TO PROTECT ANCIENT ARTIFACTS
BEFORE LAND IS MINED.

AS FAR AS I KNOW,

BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN
A CULTURAL WALKTHROUGH DONE,

WE CAN'T RUN MACHINERY.

SO, YEAH, WE CAN TEST
WITH DETECTORS AND PANNING,

BUT WE CAN'T RUN A TROMMEL.

OKAY. WELL, YEAH, I'M GOING
TO GO CHAT TO PARKER

ABOUT THE MINES DEPARTMENT
AND THE TROMMEL.

OH, YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, WELL,
THANKS FOR THAT.

I'LL CHAT TO YOU
IN A SECOND, OKAY?

SO I JUST FOUND A NICE LITTLE
SPOT OVER THERE.

-OKAY.
-TO SET THIS THING UP AT.

Tyler:
IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO HAVE
THE CULTURAL WALKTHROUGHS DONE,

BUT HE'S LIKE,
" ALL THE RULES,"

WHICH YOU CAN'T DO
IN THE MINING INDUSTRY.

IT'S THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS WORTH OF FINES.

READY? LET'S MOVE.

UGH, I'M FEELING REALLY ANXIOUS
TO TALK TO PARKER ABOUT THIS.

-GUYS?
-Parker: WHAT?

I DON'T THINK WE CAN
RUN THIS TROMMEL.

-WHAT?
-WHY NOT?

WELL, I WAS JUST TALKING
TO JORDAN,

AND HE HASN'T HAD
A CULTURAL WALKTHROUGH DONE.

HE THINKS THAT YOU CAN
RUN THE TROMMEL,

BUT THE FOCUS IS MACHINERY.

YOU CAN'T USE MACHINERY,
I THINK.

THIS IS HORSE .

SORRY, GUYS.
I UP.

SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED
TO DO HERE?

I DO KNOW AN INDIGENOUS ELDER
THAT WE COULD PROBABLY TALK TO

ABOUT IT
TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

WHY DON'T WE JUST GO AHEAD
AND DO THAT?

Danny:
YEAH, WE COULD SET UP CAMP.

WE CAN DETECT AND WE CAN PAN,
CORRECT?

YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT IT.

YEAH. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

I MEAN, I WAS KIND OF HOPING
THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE

A SETBACK OF THIS SCALE
QUITE SO EARLY ON IN THE TRIP.

I THINK PARKER'S KIND OF
HOLDING BACK A LITTLE BIT.

I THINK HE'S PRETTY
PISSED.

THANKS, FRED.

-GUYS?
-Parker: WHAT?

I DON'T THINK WE CAN
RUN THIS TROMMEL.

-WHAT?
-THIS IS HORSE .

Narrator: PARKER AND HIS TEAM
ARE PROSPECTING A CLAIM

IN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA,
BUT THEY'VE HIT A ROADBLOCK.

THE OWNER DOESN'T HAVE
A CRUCIAL PERMIT

NEEDED TO PROPERLY
TEST THE GROUND.

IN AN ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE
THE LOCATION,

TYLER'S REACHED OUT
TO A CONTACT OF HERS

TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY LEEWAY.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE HAD DONE
A LITTLE BIT MORE DUE DILIGENCE.

IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
ANY REAL SUCCESS HERE,

IT'S GOING TO BE
BECAUSE WE DO OUR HOMEWORK.

I'LL MAKE SURE
IT JUST HAPPEN AGAIN.

GOOD.

-OH, .
-WHAT'S GOING ON?

Narrator: FRED AND DANNY
CAN ONLY SURFACE MINE

WITH PANS AND DETECTORS

UNTIL THEY GET WORD
THEY CAN USE THE TROMMEL.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

I DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANY GOLD HERE.

COME ON, FRED.

-HOW'S SHE LOOKING, JORDAN?
-OH...

OH, YEAH?

-DANNY?
-YO.

UM...

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.

SECRET'S OUT, JORDAN.
WE'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT PANNING.

Fred: I SURE HOPE THAT TYLER
AND PARKER

ARE HAVING MORE LUCK FINDING
INFORMATION THAN WE ARE GOLD.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

Narrator: TYLER AND PARKER
ARE MEETING

JOHN MURISON, AN EXPERT
IN CULTURAL WALKTHROUGHS.

YEAH, G'DAY.
TYLER, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I'M PARKER.

PARKER, NICE TO MEET YOU, MATE.NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.

WE JUST WANTED TO BASICALLY
HAVE A CHAT

ABOUT CULTURAL WALKTHROUGHS
AND WHAT'S INVOLVED.

-YOU DO THOSE, DON'T YOU?
-WE CERTAINLY DO.

ONCE YOU'VE EXPRESSED
AN INTEREST IN A MINING LEASE,

I'LL GET SOME TRADITIONAL OWNERS
TO WALK OVER IT

AND TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
SIGNIFICANT CULTURAL ARTIFACTS.

BECAUSE OUR CULTURE'S
A BROKEN CULTURE.

IT'S BEEN SMASHED THROUGH
COLONIZATION

AND SO ANY LITTLE REMNANTS
THAT WE CAN GET,

WE CAN PASS ON THAT KNOWLEDGE
TO OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS.

AND IF YOU DO FIND THAT,
IS IT AN EXCLUSION ZONE?

YES. THE MINER WON'T BE ABLE
TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT

FOR 50 METERS.

Narrator: ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES
HAVE LIVED IN AUSTRALIA

FOR AT LEAST 60,000 YEARS.

CULTURAL WALKTHROUGHS SAFEGUARD
SURVIVING ANCIENT ARTIFACTS

AND ROCK PAINTINGS
FROM ANY MINING DAMAGE.

YEAH, WE WERE JUST LOOKING
AT SOME GROUND

THAT IT HADN'T
BEEN DONE ON IT.

SO, DOES THAT MEAN YOU CAN'T
USE MACHINERY

IF THAT HASN'T
BEEN APPROVED?

YEAH. IT'S JUST SOMETHING
THAT SIMPLY HAS TO BE DONE.

Narrator: GETTING CULTURAL
WALKTHROUGH CLEARANCE

CAN TAKE MONTHS,

TIME PARKER DOESN'T HAVE.

WELL, I THINK THAT REALLY
PUTS A NAIL IN THE COFFIN

FOR JOHN WITHERS'
PIECE OF GROUND.

100%. WE NEED
A PIECE OF LAND

THAT WE CAN START
MINING ON, LIKE, ASAP.

AND SO CONTINUES THE WORST
TESTING OPERATION

EVER IN HISTORY.

Narrator: WITH NO LUCK PANNING,
GOLD MINING GREENHORNS

FRED AND DANNY TURN
THEIR HANDS TO DETECTING.

MATE, THERE'S A FEW NUGGETS
DOWN THERE, LOOK.

HAVE YOU DETECTED
THIS BIT BEFORE?

-NO.
-OH, REALLY?

SO THIS IS A BIT OF VIRGIN
DETECTING WE'RE DOING?

YEAH.PRETTY COOL.

SHUT UP. GET OUT.

WHAT THE IS THAT?

JORDAN, PLEASE PULL OUT
A MASSIVE NUGGET.

YEAH, YOU GOT IT.

AH.COPPER WIRE?

STUPID THING.

IF I WAS IN VEGAS, I'D SAY
OUR ODDS ARE ABOUT 70-1.

DEFINITELY, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO GET RICH.

Both: OH.

OH, OH.

PROBABLY A BEER TIN
OR SOMETHING.

HERE?

NO, THERE. TOWARDS YOU.
YEAH, YEAH.

HOLY !
HEY!

-OH, MY !
-WHAT THE IS THIS?

-ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
-SHUT UP!

HOLY !

-SHUT THE UP!
-OH, MY GOD!

OH, YOU'RE KIDDING.

THAT'S MASSIVE.
LET ME FEEL THAT. MATE.

THAT WAS IN THE DIRT.
IT'S DIRTY.

THAT IS A BIG LUMP OF GOLD.

UNBELIEVABLE.

HEY, JORDAN, DO YOU NOT WANT
TO SELL THE LAND ANYMORE?

-NO.

YES, MATE.

I WON'T -- I WON'T
LET GO OF IT.

OH, THAT IS AMAZING.
WOW.

-WELL, GUYS?
-HOW'D IT GO?

I DON'T KNOW.
YOU GUYS CATCH US DINNER YET?

Fred: WORKING ON IT.

ON THE MINING FRONT,
WE'VE GOT BAD NEWS.

UH...

WE'RE PRETTY WELL DEAD
IN THE WATER HERE.

OH, REALLY?

THEY HAVEN'T GOT
THE PROPER CLEARANCES,

AND WITHOUT THAT,
WE CAN'T MINE IT.

-Danny: SO THIS IS A NO-GO?
-YEAH. YEAH. UNFORTUNATELY.

OH, .

IT'S A BUMMER
THAT WE CAN'T MINE HERE.

-Parker: WHY?
-THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND.

OH, WOW.

SERIOUSLY?YES!

DID YOU ACTUALLY...YES!

SO I SUPPOSE
THE PLUS SIDE IS, I MEAN,

THE GROUND IS GOOD AROUND HERE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

IT'S LIKE, I FEEL LIKE
WE'RE IN THE RIGHT AREA.

Parker:
I GUESS THERE'S GOLD HERE.

Danny: THAT'S A CROC.

THERE'S ANOTHER ONE RIGHT
OVER THERE.

OH.

DID IT JUST DISAPPEAR?IT JUST WENT LIKE THIS.

WHOOP. AND THERE'S ANOTHER ONE
RIGHT UP THERE.

OH, MY .
EVERYWHERE.

WELL, THAT WAS A BIT
OF A ROLLER COASTER OF A DAY.

I UP COMPLETELY
WITH THE...

JOHN WITH HIS LEASE.

I NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT I'M DELIVERING

AND PRODUCING
WHAT I SAID I WOULD PRODUCE.

NEVER EXPECTED TO COME BACK
TO FRED AND DANNY

HAVING FOUND A PRETTY DECENT
SIZED GOLDEN NUGGET.

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY
GOLD IN THIS AREA,

SO HOPEFULLY WE CAN FIND
SOME MORE OF IT

SOMEPLACE WHERE
WE CAN ACTUALLY MINE.

GOOD MORNING.

THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF
THE WORST NIGHTS' SLEEP

I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT CROCODILES,

I WAS WORRIED OLD-TIMEY MINERS
COMING TO STEAL MY NUGGET.

Narrator: PARKER AND HIS TEAM
WAKE UP TO A MINING BUST.

THE LEASE TYLER FOUND
LACKS CLEARANCE.

RUNNING EVEN THEIR TEST TROMMEL
MEANS RISKING HEAVY FINES.

Parker: TYLER SEEMS SMART,

BUT IF SHE'S GOING TO MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS WHOLE TRIP,

WE'VE GOT TO FIND ACTUAL
VIABLE PIECES OF PROPERTY.

Tyler: WE DEFINITELY DO NOT
HAVE TIME TO BE STUFFING AROUND

WITH RED TAPE.
WE NEED TO FIND GOOD GROUND

THAT'S READY TO MINE
AND TEST NOW.

SO I DO HAVE
SOMETHING TEED UP.

TODAY WE'RE GOING TO SEE
THE FITZGERALDS.

THEY'RE THE BIGGEST
MINING OPERATION

IN THE PALMER GOLDFIELDS,

SO I'M HOPING
THAT IT'S A GOOD LEAD

AND I'M GOING TO REDEEM MYSELF.

Narrator:
TO FIND THE FITZGERALDS' LAND,

THE TEAM NEEDS TO DRIVE
55 MILES WEST

ON DIRT ROADS DEEP
INTO THE REMOTE OUTBACK.

WHAT ARE THESE FITZGERALDS
GOING TO BE LIKE?

THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE
IN THIS AREA

THAT ARE DOING A DECENT SIZED
MINING OPERATION

AND THEY'RE GETTING
A LOT OF GOLD.

YEAH.

BUT THEY'RE A BIG
FAMILY OPERATION,

SO THEY DON'T TRUST
ANYONE OUTSIDE THEIR FAMILY.

Fred: THAT MAKES SENSE.

YEAH, AND THEN CHUCK GOLD
IN THE MIX.

Danny: YEAH, OF COURSE.MM.

-Fred: SOUTHERN CROSS MINE SITE.
-Danny: HERE WE GO.

HAVE WE COME
TO THE RIGHT PLACE?

-WOW!
-OH!

YEAH. IT DEPENDS WHAT PLACE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

ARE YOU GUYS THE FITZGERALDS?

YEAH. WHAT ARE YOU
DOING OUT HERE?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU GUYS.

SEE IF THERE'S ANY GROUND
AVAILABLE FOR US TO TEST

AND MAYBE DO SOME MINING ON.

THERE'S ALWAYS
GROUND AVAILABLE, EH?

YEAH, IT'S ALL A MATTER
OF WHO'S GOT IT, RIGHT?

IT'S ALL A MATTER OF WHO GOT IT
AND WHO YOU WANT HAVING IT.

IT'S THE SAME THING
IN THE YUKON.

YEAH, I KNOW THE STORY.
AND IS THERE SOME GOLD OUT HERE?

WE WOULDN'T STILL BE HERE
IF THERE WAS NO GOLD.

RIGHT. I THINK THAT MEANS
WE'VE PROBABLY COME

TO THE RIGHT PLACE,
IF YOU'LL HAVE US?

WE'LL SEE.

WANT TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND?I'D LOVE TO. YEAH.

Narrator:
JACK AND CHERYL ARE HEAD
OF THE FITZGERALD FAMILY.

THEY OWN MORE CLAIMS
THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE AREA

AND HAVE OVER 30 RELATIVES
WORKING THEIR MINES.

IT'S A STRICTLY FAMILY-ONLY
BUSINESS.

WE'VE BEEN MINING IN HERE
FOR 27 YEARS NOW.

AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
SET UP HERE?

IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE THEY'RE
NOT MASSIVELY COMFORTABLE

WITH THIS SITUATION,
WOULD YOU AGREE?

Parker: YEAH. I'M SURE THAT
THERE'S A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK

OF WHAT OUR INTENTIONS ARE HERE,

BUT FIGURING OUT WHO TO TRUST
ON BOTH SIDES IS DIFFICULT.

SO I'M COMING HERE

TO REALLY ASSESS PIECES
OF PROPERTY FOR MYSELF

AND NOT JUST TAKING
PEOPLE'S WORDS FOR IT.

JUST WANT TO LEARN
WHAT THEY DO,

SEE WHAT KIND OF GOLD IS
IN THE GROUND

AND SEE IF THERE'S
ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR US.

Narrator: MINING THIS LAND
WOULD BE A LOT LIKE

MINING AT HOME FOR PARKER.

1.7 BILLION YEARS AGO,

A SUPER CONTINENT KNOWN AS NUNA
BEGAN TO BREAK APART

AND FORM NEW LANDSCAPES.

OVER A HUNDRED MILLION YEARS,

ONE PIECE OF LAND
DRIFTED FROM NORTH AMERICA

AND ATTACHED TO AUSTRALIA,

FORMING PART
OF NORTH QUEENSLAND,

MEANING THE ROCK FORMATION
AND MINING METHODS

ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL
TO PARKER'S.

THE ADDED BONUS, THE PALMER
GOLDFIELDS DON'T FREEZE.

YEAH, IT'S PRETTY NICE
TO ACTUALLY COME SOMEPLACE

WHERE THERE'S, LIKE,
A LOT OF SIMILARITIES

TO WHAT WE DO IN THE YUKON.

THIS IS FAIRLY SIMILAR BEDROCK.

BUT THE LACK OF PERMAFROST

PROBABLY MAKES IT
A LOT CHEAPER MINING.

TIME FOR CLEANUP.

SO IS THERE MUCH, LIKE,
REALLY FINE FLOUR GOLD HERE?

OH, YEAH.

HEY, PARKER,
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS ONE.

JUMP IN THERE AND HAVE A LOOK
AT .

Tyler: OH, !

THAT'S FULL OF GOLD.

-WHAT DO YOU RECKON, GUYS?
-YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

-IT'S LOOKING GOOD.
-YEP.

Danny: LOOK AT THAT. OH, WOW.

IT'S ALL REFLECTING
ON YOUR FACE PARKER, THERE.

IT MAKES ME MISS MY GRANDMA'S
PLACE 'CAUSE

THAT'S THE LAST TIME
I SEEN ANY KIND OF COARSE GOLD.

ONE DAY IN PARTICULAR WE WOULD
HAVE LIKE 45 OUNCES IN NUGGETS,

LIKE A LOT OF IT
THAT SIZE AND BIGGER.

-WOW.
-WHOO!

-HE WAS PUMPED.

Danny: PARKER IS VERY MUCH
AFTER A PIECE OF LAND

THAT HE CAN WORK WHEN IT'S
TOO COLD BACK IN THE YUKON.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS
AN AMAZING BIT OF LAND.

LOOK AT THAT.

OURS IS ONLY LIKE
BETWEEN 81 AND 84 PURE.

Cheryl: 98%.WOW.

IT'S ONE OF THE PUREST GOLD
IN THE WORLD, RIGHT.

RIGHT NOW I'M PICKING THAT HE'S
SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS SPOT.

OH, YEAH.
I TOTALLY AGREE.

Parker:
SO IS THAT A PRETTY NORMAL DAY,

ABOVE AVERAGE, BELOW AVERAGE?EH, THAT'S NORMAL.

-PRETTY NORMAL.
-NORMAL, YEAH.

THAT'S A GOOD NORMAL.

THEY'VE GOT PILES OF GOLD,

BUT IT'S ONE THING
TO SHOW US THEIR OPERATION,

BUT IT'S ANOTHER THING TO BE
ABLE TO TEST IT PROPERLY.

SO YEAH, I'LL BE INTERESTED
TO SEE WHAT THE FINAL TOTAL IS

AND THEN START TALKING
TO THEM ABOUT GROUND.

SO WHAT NUMBER ARE WE LOOKING
FOR THAT MAKES YOU FEEL

LIKE THIS
IS GOING TO BE A GOOD...

COMPARABLE GROUND WISE?YEAH.

WELL, OUR GROUND
WOULD NORMALLY AVERAGE

ABOUT AN OUNCE
PER HUNDRED YARDS.

Narrator: THE FITZGERALDS RAN
500 YARDS OF PAY DIRT.

TO BE AS GOOD
AS PARKER'S YUKON CLAIM,

THEY NEED
FIVE OUNCES OF GOLD.

7.2.

Narrator:
FOR EVERY HUNDRED YARDS,

THEY MAKE ALMOST $700
MORE THAN PARKER,

PLUS NO EXTRA COST
STRIPPING PERMAFROST.

Parker: AFTER SEEING ALL THAT,

I WAS WONDERING
IF WE COULD STICK AROUND

FOR A BIT AND TEST
SOME GROUND OUT.

I'M SURE WE CAN.

THAT'D BE GREAT.

I AM REALLY INTERESTED
IN THIS AREA,

BUT WE ARE A LITTLE HOMELESS.

I WAS WONDERING IF IT'S ALL
RIGHT IF WE CAN CAMP OUT HERE.

YEAH, ALL THE MINERS DO,
YEAH, $5 A HEAD.

-CHEERS, GUYS.
-CHEERS.

-THANKS.
-CHEERS. CHEERS.

CHEERS.

PHEW!
MIND BLOWN, RIGHT?

I MEAN, NOT ONLY
IS THERE GOLD HERE,

BUT THERE'S
REALLY GOOD GOLD.

Tyler: WOW.

Parker: HOLY COW.

Tyler:
WAS A BIT OF A CRAPPY START
TO THE PALMER GOLDFIELDS,

WITH THE JOHN WITHERS LEASE,
BUT THIS GROUND'S AMAZING.

IT'S ACTUALLY A VIABLE
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY.

Parker: WE'RE DEFINITELY GOING
TO PROBE THIS ONE,

BUT IN THE YUKON,
I HAVE FOUND THIS BEFORE,

WHERE GETTING ON GOOD GROUND
IN A FAMILY LIKE THIS

IS REALLY DIFFICULT.

THEY'RE GOLD MINERS.

THEY DON'T WANT TO
GIVE UP GOOD GROUND.

-Danny: TYLER.
-YEAH?

CAN YOU COME OVER HERE?
PUT A LITTLE GAME PLAN TOGETHER?

SURE.

Narrator: PARKER AND HIS TEAM

ARE STAYING
WITH THE FITZGERALDS,

A FAMILY WITH 600 ACRES
OF GOLD-MINING PROPERTY

IN THE PALMER GOLDFIELDS.

I'D LIKE TO START GETTING A FEEL
FOR WHAT IT IS,

AND TEST AS MUCH OF IT
AS WE CAN.

Fred: OKAY.

SO I HAD A CHAT WITH JACK
AND CHERYL THIS MORNING,

AND THEIR SON TERRY
HAS AN OPERATION CALLED

8 MILE
THAT TYLER AND FRED,

I WAS HOPING THAT YOU GUYS
COULD GO CHECK OUT.

SOUNDS GOOD.

AND DAN AND I ARE GOING
TO TAKE THE TROMMEL

OVER TO ANOTHER SPOT
THAT THEY'VE GOT.

-AND WE'RE GOING TO MINE?
-YEAH.

I NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.

Narrator: TO DETERMINE IF THERE
IS ENOUGH GOOD GROUND

TO EXPAND HIS BUSINESS,
THE TEAM SPLIT UP.

-THAT'S GOOD.
-GOOD?

YEAH.

Narrator:
PARKER AND DANNY MEET

WITH JACK AND CHERYL
AT A POSSIBLE LEASE.

BUT UNLIKE THE VIRGIN GROUND
PARKER'S USED TO MINING,

THE SITE'S BEEN WORKED ALREADY.

-IS THERE SOME GOLD HERE?
-YEAH.

HOPEFULLY.

JACK SAYS THERE IS.

IF JACK SAYS THERE IS,
THERE IS.

GOOD.

Cheryl: THIS AREA HERE, SLEEPY
HOLLOW, WE HAVE MINED IT,

BUT WE BROUGHT PARKER HERE
BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD WAY

TO PICK UP GOLD
AFTER THE WET SEASON.

OH, YEAH. LOOK AT THAT.

Narrator:
BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND APRIL,

THE MONSOON SEASON BRINGS

OVER THREE FEET OF RAIN
TO THIS AREA,

TURNING THE NOW DUSTY ROADS
INTO TURBULENT CREEKS.

WATER WASHES GOLD DOWN
FROM THE HILLS,

WHICH GETS CAUGHT
IN CRACKS AND CREVICES,

CREATING MOTHER NATURE'S
OWN SLUICE SPOTS.

WHEN THE CREEK BED DRIES,
THE GOLD CAN BE MINED.

EVERY WET SEASON,
THE PROCESS REPEATS, IN THEORY,

LEAVING NEW GOLD
FOR THE TAKING YEAR AFTER YEAR.

THERE'S TWO THINGS
THAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS,

IS IT PROFITABLE
AND IS IT SCALABLE? RIGHT?

YOU GOT TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE MONEY

AND I WANT TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE LOTS OF MONEY.

ROCK AND ROLL.

MATE, I MIGHT GIVE UP THE
CAMERA WORK AND JUST DO THIS.

-UM...
-I'M GOING TO GO TO TONY BEETS,

SEE IF HE'LL HIRE ME.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE
A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.

AWAY SHE GOES!

COME ON.

HOW'S IT GOING, TERRY?HEY. HEY, FRED.

HOW ARE YOU, MATE?PRETTY GREAT.

Narrator: FIVE MILES NORTHEAST,
TYLER AND FRED

LOOK INTO ANOTHER CLAIM
RUN BY TERRY FITZGERALD,

BUT THIS HAS ALSO BEEN
PREVIOUSLY MINED.

FROM RUNNING TAILINGS THROUGH
FROM PEOPLE OF YESTERYEAR.

SO WHAT, THEY MISSED A BIT
OF GOLD, DID THEY?

YEAH. WELL, I THINK THEY PUT
TOO MANY YARDS THROUGH,

YOU KNOW,
TRYING TO GET THE BIG GOLD,

TRYING TO GET A LOT OF IT,
AND THEY LOSE THE FINER.

Narrator: TAILINGS
ARE THE WASTE ROCKS

OF OLD MINERS, WHICH TERRY
REPROCESSES TO FIND MISSED GOLD.

IT'S NOT AN OPERATION PARKER
RUNS IN THE YUKON,

BUT WITH NO NEED
TO STRIP GROUND,

IT'S CHEAP MINING,
IF GOOD GOLD CAN BE FOUND.

Tyler: AND YOU'RE DOING ALL
RIGHT RUNNING TAILINGS?

-YEAH, WE DO PRETTY WELL.
-WHO'S HELPING YOU?

-ME.
-IT'S A SINGLE MAN OPERATION?

SINGLE MAN OPERATION.
KEEP THE COSTS LOW,

BUT I CAN CERTAINLY PUT YOU
ONTO A FEW LITTLE JOBS.

JUMP RIGHT IN HERE, MATE.
AND WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO,

ANY ROCKS THAT ARE CAUGHT THERE,
PUSH THEM INTO THE TROMMEL.

LET'S DO IT. I'M READY.I'LL GO AND GET A BUCKET.

MY CONCERN IS THAT
HE'S USING LEFTOVERS.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT
I'M USED TO DOING.

I LIKED HITTING
THE VIRGIN GROUND,

BUT LOOK, APPARENTLY TERRY'S
FINDING GOLD IN IT,

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO STICK
AROUND AND SEE IF HE DOES.

ABOUT 120 DEGREES.

120 DEGREES
WE'RE LOOKING AT.

I CAN'T HOLD THE SHOVEL
ON THE END.

THAT BIT'S TOO HOT.

THAT'S WHY THEY GOT
WOODEN SHOVELS, I GUESS.

Narrator: WITH CREEK WATER
WASHING THROUGH ANNUALLY,

THE TOPSOIL IS VERY SHALLOW,
AND HARD BEDROCK

SITS CLOSE TO THE SURFACE.

THIS STUFF IS, LIKE,
PRETTY COMPACTED.

IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING

YOU SHOULD TRY TO DO
WITH A SHOVEL.

REALISTICALLY, HOW MANY YARDS DO
YOU THINK WE NEED TO RUN A BIT?

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO TWO.

THAT'S LIKE A YARD WIDE,

A YARD THAT WAY,
AND THEN, LIKE, HOW DEEP?

REALLY FAR.

YEAH, A YARD THAT WAY.

NO, A YARD BY
A YARD BY YARD.

A YARD DEEP?
OH, OFF, MATE.

-DUDE.
-COMING!

THAT'S JACKIE RAY.

-HOW'S IT GOING?
-OH, GOOD!

PROBABLY BETTER THAN US.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
JUST SCOOP ALL THAT STUFF UP

AND BACK IT UP
RIGHT NEXT TO THE FEEDER?

-YEAH.
-THANKS, MAN.

OH, MAN.

THAT IS MAKING
VERY SHORT WORK

OF WHAT WE WERE MAKING
VERY HARD WORK OUT OF.

WICKED!
THANKS, MAN.

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT,
ISN'T IT?

Narrator: WITH HELP FROM
JACKIE RAY'S LOADER,

PARKER AND DANNY PUSH
TWO YARDS OF CREEK BOTTOM DIRT

THROUGH THEIR TROMMEL
IN UNDER AN HOUR.

-TIME FOR A CLEANUP.

Narrator: IN THE YUKON, PARKER
TURNS A PROFIT MINING PAY DIRT

WORTH $15 TO $20 PER YARD.

HERE, WITHOUT THE ADDED COST
OF REMOVING PERMAFROST,

ANYTHING NEAR THAT AMOUNT

WOULD PRODUCE
A MUCH HIGHER PROFIT MARGIN.

THAT LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T IT?

I MEAN, THERE'S DEFINITELY
GOLD IN HERE.

WHOO! IT'S A LOT MORE
LABOR-INTENSIVE

THAN I WAS EXPECTING.

IT'S LIKE ROWING IN MUD.

Narrator:
AT TERRY FITZGERALD'S CLAIM,

FRED AND TYLER ARE THREE HOURS
INTO TESTING THE OLD TAILINGS.

I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO BREAK,

'CAUSE IF THESE ROCKS
GET CLOGGED,

PAY DIRT'S NOT GOING THROUGH,
SO...

IT'S CONSTANT.
WE JUST GOT TO KEEP GOING.

-TERRY!
-OH, !

SO, TYLER AND PARKER,
THIS IS A GREEN ANTS' NEST.

WE'LL JUST KNOCK AND SEE
IF ANYONE'S HOME.

Narrator:
FOR MORE THAN 60,000 YEARS,

THE ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES
OF AUSTRALIA

HAVE DEVELOPED HUNDREDS
OF BUSH MEDICINES.

WHAT WE USE THESE FOR
IS FLU TREATMENT.

YOU GET THE WHOLE NEST
AND MASH IT UP IN A BILLY CAN

AND THEN SIP IT
LIKE A LEMSIP.

WOW.THEY GET ANGRY, DON'T THEY?

MM.YEAH. THEY'RE FEISTY.

AH!

Narrator: GREEN ANTS HAVE
A SHARP CITRUS TASTE

AND CAN BE BOILED IN WATER,
CRUSHED,

AND INHALED LIKE A VAPOR RUB,
OR EATEN ALIVE.

TASTES LIKE LEMON.YEAH.

I THINK ONE BIT ME
IN THE MOUTH.

MM.

MMM!

JUST BITE HIM BACK.

WHOO! IT'S A LOT MORE LABOR-
INTENSIVE THAN I WAS EXPECTING.

Narrator:
TO DETERMINE IF THE FITZGERALD
FAMILY'S MINE SITE

IS AS RICH
AS THEY SAY IT IS,

FRED AND TYLER ARE RUNNING
185 YARDS OF TAILINGS.

-TERRY!
-OH, !

IT JUST --

I JUST GOTTA GO AND FIND OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON.

SHUT THE MOTOR DOWN, MATE.
SHUT THE MOTOR DOWN.

LET'S GO.

I DON'T THINK ANYTHING WENT
INSIDE OF IT TO HURT IT

OR ANYTHING --
IT JUST STOPPED.

RIGHT.

OOH.

FEEL IT, FRED. IT'S HOT.
BEARINGS AND PINS COME UP.

AH!IS THAT A BAD THING?

REALLY BAD?
YEAH!

Narrator: THE TROMMEL'S CYLINDER
ROTATES USING A GUIDE WHEEL

HELD IN PLACE
BY A LARGE STEEL PIN.

WHEN THE PIN COMES LOOSE,

THE WHEEL CAN FALL
OUT OF POSITION,

CAUSING THE TROMMEL TO JAM.

IF THE MOTOR ISN'T
SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY,

IT WILL DAMAGE
THE DRIVESHAFT AND OVERHEAT,

RESULTING IN HEFTY REPAIR BILLS
AND LOST RUNNING TIME.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUT
THAT PIN BACK DOWN.

WE'VE GOT TO GET IT
MOVING PRETTY QUICK

SO WE CAN GET THE GOLD
GOING BACK OUT THE OTHER END.

IF YOU CAN PUT A BIT
OF PRESSURE ON...

GOT IT.

...AND I'LL JUST SEE IF I CAN
MAYBE MOVE THE PIN

AND IT MIGHT FALL IN,
YOU KNOW?

NO! NOT YET, EH?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S MOVING.
IT'S JUST KIND OF...

AHH!

WELL, THEY DON'T SEEM
TO BE RUNNING.

I SEE IT MOVING A LITTLE.
IT'S MOVING.

WHOO-HOO-HOO!
OH, YEAH!

WE GOT THAT PIN!

HOW'S IT GOING, DUDE?
YOU GUYS BREAKING STUFF?

I THINK IT WAS FRED.

-YEAH. I USUALLY BLAME FRED.

SO WHAT'S HAPPENED,
PARKER,

THE PIN DISLODGED AND GONE UP,
WHICH STOPPED THE TROMMEL.

-DOES IT KEEP KICKING OUT?
-YEAH, IT DOES.

WE'VE HAD THAT KIND OF STUFF
HAPPEN BEFORE, AND...

-YEAH.
-I MEAN, IT'S A BUSH FIX,

BUT YOU COULD JUST THROW
A WELD OVER IT.

YOU KNOW, WHAT DIDN'T I THINK
OF THAT?

LET'S GET HER WELDED UP,
EH, TERRY.

Narrator: WITH SPARE PARTS
THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY...

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT,
CLEAR.

...JUST LIKE IN THE YUKON,

OUTBACK MINERS
NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO QUICK

BUSH FIXES
OR FACE COSTLY SHUTDOWNS.

-EXCELLENT.
-YEAH.

-DONE.
-OH, NICE.

LET'S TRY TO START IT, EH?

HEY, OH!

YEE-HEE-HEE!

NICE JOB, TERRY.

THANKS, GUYS.

LET'S GET MINING, EH?YEAH.

YOU KNOW, REALLY,
THIS IS A COOL LITTLE SETUP.

LIKE, TERRY MUST SPEND
NO MONEY DOING THIS.

THERE WOULD BE NOTHING WRONG
WITH IN THE OFF-SEASON

FINDING SOME GROUND

THAT YOU SPENT AN OUNCE A DAY
AND TRY TO FIND TEN,

THAT'D BE A PRETTY GOOD WAY
TO SPEND THE WINTER.

I THINK TERRY'S JUST ABOUT
TO SHUT DOWN.

BUT BEFORE THEN,

THERE'S ONE LAST FINAL MESSAGE
FOR YOU.

-NO! NO!
-AH!

WHAT THE ?

FRED!
YES!

SHUT DOWN!

ONCE WE GET THE NUMBERS
AND WE SEE WHAT WE GOT FOR GOLD,

WE'LL BE ABLE TO TELL IF THIS
IS A POSSIBLE INVESTMENT,

BUT I THINK ALL IN ALL
IT WAS GOOD.

HEY, PARKER. COME ON IN, MATE.
WE GOT A SEAT FOR YOU.

LOOK AT THIS.

Narrator: THE TEAM BRINGS
THE GOLD FROM BOTH TEST SITES

TO EVALUATE THE FINAL RESULTS.

DO WE WANT TO DO A LITTLE BIT
OF A TALLY UP?

-OH, DO WE? OF COURSE.
-YES.

-YEAH, YEAH.
-LET'S DO IT.

Narrator: PARKER AND DANNY
TESTED TWO YARDS OF PAY DIRT.

BACK HOME, THAT YARDAGE
WOULD CONTAIN

ROUGHLY $35 WORTH OF GOLD.

SO IT IS .05 OUNCES.

-OOH!
-AHH!

Narrator: WORTH $75, THAT'S MORE
THAN DOUBLE PARKER'S AVERAGE,

FROM GROUND THAT'S BEEN MINED
BEFORE AND REPLENISHES ANNUALLY.

YEAH, BROTHER.

TYLER AND FRED TESTED
185 YARDS OF WASTE TAILINGS.

IN THE YUKON, RUNNING THIS
AMOUNT OF TAILINGS

WOULD NORMALLY PRODUCE
SO LITTLE GOLD,

IT WOULDN'T BE WORTH DOING.

1.02 OUNCES.

Tyler: OH, FRED!

Narrator:
WORTH OVER $1,500,

THAT MEANS THE OLD TIMERS
LEFT HALF THE GOLD

THEY SHOULD HAVE RECOVERED
IN THEIR TAILINGS.

IF YOU'RE FINDING
THAT KIND OF GOLD

EVEN AFTER IT'S BEEN MINED,

THE MORE WE DIG INTO THIS PLACE,
THE MORE INTRIGUED I AM, TERRY.

WHEN YOU'RE MAKING MONEY
ON TAILINGS,

THAT MEANS THE GROUND
AROUND IS PRETTY GOOD.

Terry: YEAH, IT IS.

AFTER SEEING THE RESULTS,
IT'S MADE ME SUPER EXCITED.

THE JOHN WITHERS LEASE
DIDN'T WORK OUT,

SO I HAD A LOT RIDING ON THIS,

BUT I FINALLY FEEL LIKE
I'VE REDEEMED MYSELF

AND I'M REALLY KEEN
TO SEE WHERE IT CAN GO.

YOU KNOW WHAT, PARKER?
THANKS, MATE.

OH, THANK YOU, TERRY.
IT'S A REAL PLEASURE.

I AM REALLY IMPRESSED
WITH TYLER.

THIS IS A GREAT FAMILY
TO HAVE ENDED UP WITH.

YEAH, THEY'RE
REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.

BEER AND BARBECUES.

-BEER AND BARBIES, GUYS.
-EH? ROCK AND ROLL.

-CHEERS.
-CHEERS.

IF THE GROUND THAT'S BEEN MINED
BEFORE IS THIS GOOD,

THEN I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
GETTING ON SOME VIRGIN GROUND.

THERE'S A LOT
OF POTENTIAL HERE.

Narrator: NEXT TIME...

IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE
FROM HERE ON IN.

-ARE WE STUCK HERE?
-YEAH.

Narrator: PARKER AND HIS TEAM
FACE A BAPTISM OF FIRE...

THE YUKON'S TOUGH COUNTRY,
BUT THIS IS RIGHT UP THERE.

...VENTURE DEEP
INTO THE OUTBACK...

IF I GET THIS THING STUCK,
I'M GOING TO LOOK LIKE

SUCH AN IDIOT.

...IN THEIR QUEST...

OH, MY !

FEED THE LINE!

...TO FIND VIRGIN GROUND...

LOOK AT THAT.

Parker: WE'RE LOOKING AT
EXTREMELY RICH GROUND.

MAYBE MUM AND DAD
SHOULD KEEP IT.
