Parker: HOLY COW!

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

OH, YEAH!

...KALGOORLIE,

THE MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR CENTER
OF GOLD IN AUSTRALIA...

Parker: THAT PIT PRODUCES
10 TIMES THE GOLD

ALL THE MINERS
IN THE YUKON PRODUCE.

Narrator: ...PARKER'S HUNT
FOR A NEW CLAIM...

GO NOW! GO!

...TURNS INTO A RACE
AGAINST TIME.

Parker: AND IT'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY EXCITING

THAT'S OUR PIECE
OF GROUND.

I'M SHAKING.

Narrator:
BUT HE'S GOT COMPETITION.

-HE'S A POACHER!
-THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE!

Parker:
SOME TRYING
TO STEAL OUR GOLD.

YEAH!

Narrator: AND AT THE END
OF THE EXPEDITION...

I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
I GAVE YOU GUYS A CALL

TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR GROUND.

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT
TO SEE SOMETHING.

Narrator:
...PARKER DECIDES

ON WHERE HE WANTS TO MINE
IN AUSTRALIA.

WE'VE GOT
A VERY GOOD START

TO SOMETHING THAT COULD BE
A GREAT THING.

-WHERE WE GOING?
-DO YOU REALLY WANT THIS CAR

TO TURN INTO A WATER PARK?

Fred: STOP ARGUING!

I'M GONNA PULL THIS THING
OVER RIGHT NOW.

ALL OUR FOOD --

YOU PIECE OF

NO!

YOU GUYS
ARE WATERBOARDING HIM!

Narrator: PARKER AND HIS TEAM
ARE ON A 6,000-MILE GOLD HUNT

ACROSS FIVE STATES.

THEY'RE ENDING THEIR JOURNEY
IN KALGOORLIE,

THE EPICENTER OF GOLD MINING
IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

SO, GUYS, I'M EXCITED TO
TAKE YOU TO KALGOORLIE,

TO MY HOMETOWN.

IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST MINING
TOWNS IN THE WHOLE OF AUSTRALIA.

ARE THERE MANY GOOD LEASES
THAT YOU KNOW OF AROUND HERE

FOR SALE?
-YEAH. THERE'S A FEW.

I'M STILL WORKING ON
TEEING IT ALL UP,

BUT WE'LL GET YOU
SOMETHING.

FRED AND I WILL
FINISH OFF THE RESEARCH.

SO, WE'RE GONNA BE
FOLLOWING LEADS, BASICALLY.

EXACTLY RIGHT.

-SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN?
-YOU GUYS ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY.

YOU ACTUALLY GET TO GO VISIT
THE SUPER PIT.

THE SUPER PIT IS INSANE.
-YEAH.

IT PRODUCES, LIKE,
700,000 OUNCES OF GOLD A YEAR.

LET'S GO CHECK OUT
THIS SUPER PIT.

Narrator: KALGOORLIE GOLD
WAS FIRST DISCOVERED IN 1893

BY OLD-TIMER PADDY HANNAN.

IT BECAME KNOWN AS
"THE GOLDEN MILE,"

AND WAS THE RICHEST SQUARE MILE
OF GROUND ON THE PLANET.

AND IT'S STILL
BEING MINED TODAY.

HOLY COW!

WHAT THE

THE MACHINES LOOK LIKE ANTS
OUT THERE.

Fred: THIS IS THE BIGGEST HOLE
I'VE EVER SEEN.

Narrator:
WHERE THE GOLDEN MILE ONCE STOOD
IS NOW THE SUPER PIT,

A 1,900-FOOT-DEEP HOLE
THAT'S STILL PAYING OUT.

Tyler: YEAH, YOU CAN SEE
DOWN THE SIDE OF THE PIT

ALL THOSE OLD HOLES FROM WHERE
ALL THE OLD MINERS' SHAFTS WERE.

AND THESE ARE ALL
OLD-TIMER WORKINGS,

THE TUNNELS
AND THE WALLS?

YEAH.

THE REMAINS OF 2,100 MILES
OF OLD-TIMERS' TUNNELS

STILL PEPPER THE WALLS
OF THE PIT.

-KELLY, THIS IS PARKER.
-HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

Tyler:
KELLY IS ONE OF THE MANAGERS
HERE AT THE SUPER PIT,

SO SHE'S ACTUALLY GONNA
TAKE PARKER AND YOU, DANNY,

INTO THE PIT TODAY.
-SWEET.

I'LL SEE YOU GUYS
ON THE FLIP SIDE.

-HAVE FUN. TAKE PICTURES.
-HAVE FUN.

-CATCH YOU LATER.
-SEE YOU, KEL. SEE YOU, DAN.

Fred: SEE YOU, BUDDY.
HAVE FUN.

SO, WE'RE NEARING THE END
OF THE TRAIL, HERE.

WHILE PARKER AND DANNY
ARE GETTING THE TOUR,

TYLER AND I ARE GONNA
FOLLOW UP ON SOME OF HER LEADS,

AND HOPEFULLY FIND
ANOTHER SPOT FOR US

TO CHECK OUT
WHILE WE'RE HERE.

-I GET FRONT SEAT.
-YEAH, RIGHT?

-YAY.

WE NEED AT LEAST
ONE MORE VIABLE OPTION.

Tyler:
IF I DON'T GET HIM SOMETHING
IN KALGOORLIE, ON MY HOME TURF,

HE'S GONNA THINK IT'S A WASTE
OF TIME AND MONEY,

ME BRINGING HIM HERE.

DIG DEEP INTO YOUR TANK
ON THIS ONE.

WE ARE WAY DOWN HERE,
HUH?

Narrator:
EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SUPER PIT
IS SUPERSIZED...

THIS IS A LOT
DIFFERENT-LOOKING

FROM DOWN HERE
THAN AT THE LOOKOUT.

YEAH,
SHE'S DEFINITELY DEEPER.

...INCLUDING HOW THEY EXTRACT
GOLD ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE.

FIRST STEP -- BLASTING.

WHAT WE'RE FIRING TODAY
IS HERE.

SO, THESE ARE ALL -- THESE ARE
LOADED HOLES ALREADY, HUH?

YEP. THERE'S A MIXTURE OF
AMMONIUM NITRATE AND FUEL OIL.

AND DO YOU MIX
THE EXPLOSIVES ON-SITE?

YEP.
THAT'S WHAT THAT DOES.

THAT'S A MOBILE
MANUFACTURING UNIT, AN MMU.

OH, IT DOES IT
RIGHT IN THE TRUCK.

YEP.

Narrator: LARGE BLASTS
AT THE SUPER PIT

USE THE EQUIVALENT OF UP TO
150 TONS OF TNT.

SO, THE RADARS WILL BE
ON THAT WALL.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT
IS THAT WE HAVEN'T

GOT ANY WALL MOVEMENT,

AND THAT WE CAN GO BACK
INTO THE PIT QUICKLY,

AND GET BACK INTO IT.
-GOT YOU.

SO, IF THAT ALARM GOES OFF,
WE'VE GOT TO WAIT TWO HOURS

BEFORE WE CAN GO BACK IN.

GOT YOU.

IT MAKES OUR PROCESS
LOOK PRETTY SIMPLE.

WE JUST DIG SOME DIRT
OUT OF THE GROUND,

AND WASH IT
WITH SOME WATER.

RIGHT, BEN.
YOU CLEAR TO FIRE?

RIGHTO. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS,
WHEN HE SAYS, "FIRE NOW,"

JUST PUSH THE TWO
FIRE BUTTONS,

HOLD THEM DOWN UNTIL IT BEEPS.
AND THAT'S IT.

LOOK UP, OR YOU'LL MISS IT.
-ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU KNOW WHICH TWO BUTTONS
YOU'RE PRESSING?

BEN: Firing now.

ALRIGHT.
HERE WE GO.

FIRING UP!

HOLY CRAP!

OH, YEAH!

THAT WAS A WICKED DELAY
ON WHEN YOU SEE IT

TO WHEN YOU HEAR IT,
HUH?

THANK YOU, GUYS.

THANKS.
-WELL DONE. CHEERS.

THAT'S AWESOME.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST GOLD-MINING
OUTFIT HE'S EVER SEEN,

AND THAT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE
EXCITING FOR HIM, FOR SURE.

ALRIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.

Narrator:
NEXT STAGE OF THE OPERATION --
REMOVE THE BLASTED ROCK.

PARKER RIDES SHOTGUN
ON AN $18 MILLION EXCAVATOR.

WE ARE NOW IN THE LAND
OF DINOSAURS.

THE AMOUNT OF ROCK YOU GUYS MOVE
MUST JUST BE CRAZY.

GOT TO KEEP THOSE BLASTERS BUSY,
RIGHT?

EXACTLY.

THAT'S A BIG LOAD.

IT IS.

EVERYTHING HERE
IS JUST GINORMOUS.

THIS THING'S HUGE!

70 TO 80 TON, HUH?

WOW.

RIGHT.

Narrator: 423-TON ROCK TRUCKS
HAUL THE ORE.

TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA,
PARKER'S ROCK TRUCK IS 40 TONS.

THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I RECOMMEND EARPLUGS.

AWESOME.

WHAT'S THE PAYLOAD
OF THESE?

THESE SCOOPS ARE,
LIKE, CRAZY.

THIS IS JUST
A WHOLE DIFFERENT SCALE.

Narrator: THE LAST STOP
IS A COLOSSAL MILL,

WHICH, AT ITS HEIGHT
IN 2017,

EXTRACTED 700,000 OUNCES
OF GOLD,

A RECOVERY RATE
100 TIMES GREATER

THAN PARKER'S
IN THE YUKON.

THE SCALE OF THIS PLACE
IS INSANE.

THIS USES AROUND 12 MEGAWATTS
OF ELECTRICITY,

SO THAT'S ENOUGH
TO POWER 12,000 HOMES.

THAT'S JUST THIS THING?

JUST THIS MILL ALONE.

Parker: THE PIT'S HUGE,
BUT THIS MILL --

I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PIPES,
AND SO MUCH CABLE,

AND SO MANY TANKS
GOING EVERY POSSIBLE DIRECTION.

THAT PIT ALONE PRODUCES,
LIKE, 10 TIMES THE GOLD

THAT ALL THE MINERS
IN THE YUKON PRODUCES.

IT'S PRETTY COOL.

SOMEDAY, I HOPE TO BE INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Narrator:
OUT OF LEADS TO FIND GROUND
FOR PARKER TO MINE,

TYLER HAS ONE MORE TRICK
UP HER SLEEVE.

SO, THIS IS TENGRAPH.

THIS IS, LIKE, THE
WEST AUSTRALIAN

TENEMENT-MAPPING SYSTEM.

SO, IT'S GOT ALL THE LEASES,
AND TENEMENTS,

AND EVERYTHING
ON THIS WEBSITE.

THIS IS ALL THE LEASES.
GREEN MEANS LIVE LEASES.

BLUE MEANS PENDING.

YOU CAN GO IN,
AND IF IT IS EXPIRING --

YOU NORMALLY PLAN IT, LIKE,
A COUPLE WEEKS OR A MONTH AHEAD.

SO, YOU GO, "OKAY, THAT ONE'S
EXPIRING IN A MONTH.

I'M GONNA TRY
AND GET THAT."

-BUT ANYBODY COULD DO THAT?
-OH, ANYONE CAN DO IT.

YEAH, DEFINITELY.

WHAT'S THE DATE TODAY?

16th.

HANG ON.

THIS IS EXPIRING
AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT,

AND ANYONE
CAN GO STAKE IT.

WHY WOULDN'T THEY
JUST RENEW IT?

WELL, CLEARLY,
THEY'RE NOT RENEWING IT

'CAUSE IT WOULD'VE
BEEN DONE BY NOW.

OH. SO, JUST SO I'M CLEAR
ON THIS,

IF IT EXPIRES,

ANYBODY CAN THEN GO AHEAD,
AND TAKE THAT CLAIM?

YES. YOU HAVE TO
GO OUT THERE,

AND YOU HAVE TO PUT A PEG
IN THE GROUND,

LODGE YOUR APPLICATION.

AND IF YOU DO EVERYTHING
CORRECTLY, IT'S YOURS.

THIS IS NOT
VERY MUCH TIME.

I NEED TO SPEAK TO
MY MOM AND DAD,

JUST TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S OKAY.

I WANT TO CHECK WITH THEM,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE
PARKER A LEASE.

WE HAVE TO GO.
WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

SORRY, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO LEAVE THAT.

ONE MORE.
I'M COMING.

Narrator: PARKER SCHNABEL
IS IN KALGOORLIE,

THE RICHEST GOLD FIELDS
IN AUSTRALIA.

Parker:
SOMEDAY, I HOPE TO BE INVOLVED
IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Narrator: TYLER MAHONEY
HAS ONE LAST CHANCE

TO FIND PARKER
VIRGIN GROUND TO MINE.

THIS IS EXPIRING
AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

WE HAVE TO GO.

FOR AN EXPERT OPINION, SHE RUNS
THE LEAD PAST HER MOM AND DAD.

FRED, IF THIS IS A "NO,"
I'M STUFFED. I'VE GOT NOTHING.

I HAVE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT.
I THINK YOU GOT IT.

-HI, PRINCESS. HOW YOU GOING?
-GOOD. I MISSED YOU GUYS.

-HOW YOU BEEN?
-GOOD.

Narrator:
TED AND LECKY HAVE PROSPECTED
THE AREA FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

OKAY. I NEED HELP.

-OH, GEEZ.
-WHAT?

FRED AND I HAVE DONE
SOME RESEARCH.

BASICALLY, I'VE COME ACROSS THIS
LEASE, WHICH I THINK IS AMAZING.

BUT I NEED TO KNOW FROM YOU
THAT IT'S GOOD

BEFORE WE RUSH OUT
AND GO PEG THIS LEASE.

AND THIS LEASE IS
EXPIRING TONIGHT.

-TONIGHT?
-TONIGHT.

-OKAY.
- ME.

I KNOW. AND LOOK AT THIS.
I'VE GOT THE GEO-MAP.

Ted: OH, I THINK
I KNOW THE SPOT.

THERE WAS, LIKE, NEARLY 1,000
OUNCES RECOVERED OFF THAT HILL.

-1,000 OUNCES?
-SO, THIS IS SOMETHING
WE COULD JUMP ON, THEN.

Ted: YOU'RE TALKING A REALLY
HOT PIECE OF GROUND.

WE'VE DONE A FAIR BIT
AROUND THAT AREA.

WE NEED TO PEG A LEASE.

Narrator: PEGGING A LEASE

IS THE AUSTRALIAN WAY
OF STAKING A CLAIM.

IT STARTED IN 1855,

WHEN OLD-TIMERS LEASED LAND
BY STAKING SET BOUNDARIES.

LEASES EXPIRED
EVERY EIGHT YEARS,

AND MINERS RACED TO BE THE FIRST
TO CLAIM THE GROUND.

THE RULES SET BY THE OLD-TIMERS
ARE STILL IN OPERATION TODAY.

FRED AND I WILL GO GET
PARKER AND DANNY,

AND THEN, WE'LL MEET YOU THERE.
-RIGHTO.

TIME'S A-TICKING,
PARTNERS.

FRED, I'M NERVOUS.

ALL I WANT NOW IS
A MASSIVE HOLE IN THE GROUND

THAT I CAN CALL
"PARKER'S PIT."

ALRIGHT,
LET'S GO FIND FRED AND TYLER.

-LET'S FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE.
-LET'S JUST WAIT OVER THERE.

Danny: YEAH, MAN.

SO, WE'VE GOT A BIG DRIVE
AHEAD OF US.

-WE NEED TO HURRY.
-YEAH.

Narrator:
THE LEASE EXPIRES IN SIX HOURS,
BUT IT'S 140 MILES AWAY.

-THERE THEY ARE.
-OH, YEAH. THERE THEY ARE.

PERFECT.

HEY, WE GOT TO HURRY!

WE GOT SOMETHING GOING ON.
WE GOT TO GO.

-TO WHAT?
-WE'VE GOT A LEAD,
BUT WE NEED TO GO NOW.

Danny:
WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT'S UP?

Tyler: WE MANAGED TO FIND
AN AMAZING LEASE.

IT'S EXPIRING AT MIDNIGHT,
SO WE'RE GONNA GET OUT THERE,

STAKE IT, AND THEN,
HOPEFULLY, MAKE IT YOURS.

GOOD NEWS.

YEAH, NO KIDDING --

ESPECIALLY IF WE
DON'T HAVE TO, LIKE,

PAY SOMEBODY
A PILE OF MONEY.

EXACTLY. YEP.

NO ROYALTIES.
IT'LL BE YOURS.

Fred:
BASICALLY GOT LUCKY.

YEAH, SUPER LUCKY.

DAD ACTUALLY KNOWS
THE LEASE, AS WELL.

-THAT'S AWESOME.
-BUT WE'RE IN A RUSH.

LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT.

I CAN SEE LIGHTS.
I CAN SEE LIGHTS DOWN THERE,
DOWN TO THE RIGHT.

-YEAH.
-OH, OKAY.
-YOU GOT HIM?

-YEAH, WAY UP THERE?
-YEAH.

2:00?

-WELL, G'DAY, GUYS.
HOW WE DOING?
-HEY.

-I'M TED, MATE.
-TED, NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'M PARKER.

-FRED. HOW YOU GOING, MATE?
-HOW'S IT GOING? GOOD.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU GUYS,
ANYWAY.

SO, HERE WE ARE,
MIDDLE OF THE BUSH, HEY?

-WHAT A WAY TO MEET YA.
-YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

YOU WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE
A RUNDOWN?

YEAH, NO DRAMAS.

SO, BASICALLY, WHAT WE'RE GONNA
TRY AND ACHIEVE TONIGHT IS,

WE'RE GONNA GO
AND PEG A LEASE.

WE'RE BASICALLY GONNA NEED TO
DRIVE FOUR PEGS IN.

SO, WE CAN SPLIT INTO FOUR,
SO WE CAN DO IT NICE AND QUICK.

Narrator:
STARTING AT MIDNIGHT,

THE TEAM WILL ALLOW THEMSELVES
FIVE MINUTES

TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS.

EACH PEG MUST BE
1 METER HIGH.

THEN, TWO TRENCHES,
1 METER LONG,

POINT TO THE
ADJOINING PEGS.

THE FIRST THREE PEGS
WILL BE KNOCKED IN

BY LECKY, FRED,
AND TYLER.

THEN, PARKER WILL SINK
THE FINAL DATUM PEG,

WHICH HOLDS THE PAPERWORK
FOR THEIR CLAIM.

Ted: NOTHING STARTS
BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

WHEN I SAY "GO," GO.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DID
START BEFORE MIDNIGHT?

-WELL, YOU'VE JUST BONED IT.
-OH, REALLY?

YEAH. IT'S

'CAUSE YOU'VE PRECEDED
TO MARKING OUT

BEFORE THE TENEMENT
HAS BECOME AVAILABLE.

RIGHTO, GUYS.
WE'RE READY TO GO.

Narrator:
TYLER'S MOM, LECKY, HEADS TO
THE LOCATION FOR PEG NUMBER ONE.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL
WHEN YOU'RE IN HERE.

THERE'S SNAKES, SPIDERS,
MANY THINGS THAT CAN BITE YOU.

AND I'VE GOT TO TRY
AND FIND THE RIGHT PLACE,

WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT,
TO GET THE PEG IN.

Narrator: THE TEAM ARE EQUIPPED
WITH GPS LOCATORS

THAT ARE LOADED
WITH THE COORDINATES

TO THEIR PEGGING POSITION.

Danny: STRAIGHT ON.

BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE
IS PEGGING AT THE SAME TIME?

WELL, WE PUT OUR TIME IN
AS 12:05.

WE GAVE OURSELVES FIVE MINUTES,
NO MATTER WHAT.

ABOUT ANOTHER 200 METERS
THIS WAY.

THIS WAY.

OH

AAH!

WHAT THE WAS THAT?
AAH!

SPIDERWEB!

IT'S IN MY BEARD!

UGH!

WHAT THE
IS THIS?

I'M JUST WALKING
TO MY GPS POINT,

AND THEN, I'LL WAIT
FOR THE GO FROM DAD,

AND GET THE PEG
IN THE GROUND.

WE'RE ACTUALLY JUST UP HERE,
I THINK.

RIGHTO, CREW.
WE'RE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES OUT.

WE'LL JUST DO
A LAST RADIO CHECK,

AND MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING'S SWEET.

RIGHTO.
LECK, YOU ON CHANNEL?

LECKY: Roger.

FRED, YOU ON CHANNEL,
MATE?

FRED: Roger that.

PARKER, YOU ON CHANNEL,
BUDDY?

PARKER: Yeah.

TY, ARE YOU ON CHANNEL,
SWEET?

TYLER,
ARE YOU ON CHANNEL?

ME.

BETTER GO AND MAKE SURE
SHE'S ALRIGHT.

OH.

TY, ARE YOU ON CHANNEL?

THAT'S GONE DEAD.

THE BATTERY'S GONE DEAD
WITH TWO MINUTES LEFT.

Ted: TYLER?!

YEAH?

WHERE'S YOUR
RADIO?

DAD, IT'S GONE FLAT!

UGH!

IT'S NOT
MY FAULT.

WELL, COME ON.
GRAB SOME BATTERIES.

GET BACK ON-SITE.

Righto, crew.
30 seconds out.

Danny: OKAY.
LET'S JUST GET THIS RIGHT.

CONCENTRATE.

I'M GONNA COUNT FROM 10 DOWN.
EVERYONE READY?

TYLER: Ready.

FRED: Fred's ready.

I'M READY.

Ted:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

GO NOW! GO NOW!

HERE WE GO, MATE.

IS THAT GOOD?

Ted:
TRENCHES, TRENCHES.

Narrator:
TO BE A VALID CLAIM,

EACH PEG MUST HAVE
1-METER TRENCHES

THAT POINT TO
THE OTHER CORNERS.

1 METER, 1 METER, 1 METER.

BOOM. NAILED IT.

Narrator: THE TEAM MUST SUPPLY
TIME-STAMPED VIDEO

AND PHOTO EVIDENCE
OF ALL FOUR PEGS

TO REGISTER THE CLAIM.

ALL DONE.

-IS THAT OKAY?
-THAT'S PERFECT.

I HOPE THE OTHER BOYS
ARE DOING IT.

RIGHTO. TY IS DONE.

PARKER, GO WITH THE MARKER
NOW, MATE.

-NO!
- HELL, MATE.

Narrator: A BROKEN PEG
WILL RENDER THEIR CLAIM INVALID.

CALL HIM, QUICK.
CALL TED ON THE RADIO.

TED, I
BROKE THE PEG.

-AW, MATE.

Narrator:
PARKER'S RACE TO STAKE A CLAIM

ON SOME OF THE RICHEST GROUND
IN AUSTRALIA IS IN TROUBLE.

-NO!
- HELL, MATE.

TED, I
BROKE THE PEG.

COMING NOW, MATE. COME ON.
COME ON, TY. LET'S GO.

QUICK.

WE'VE ONLY GOT A COUPLE
OF MINUTES TO GET IT THERE.

Narrator:
WITH A BROKEN CLAIM PEG,

PARKER NEEDS AN INTACT
1-METER STAKE

TO REGISTER
A VALID CLAIM.

I'LL MEET HIM
AT THE ROAD,

AND HE'S GOT ANOTHER ONE
IN THE TRUCK.

THERE'S HIS LIGHT,
DOWN THERE.

On the way now, matey.

GRAB A PEG OUT THE BACK, TY,
AND RUN LIKE MATE.

PARKER, WE'RE COMING IN
TO YOU, MATE.

RIGHTO, TY. GO.

TY'S REALLY CLOSE.

Tyler:
WE'VE GOT SECONDS.

COME ON. LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.

-WHAT HAPPENED?
-IT BROKE IN HALF.

Tyler:

-IS THAT, LIKE, ENOUGH?
-YEAH. THAT'S PERFECT.

Tyler:
JUST MEASURE IT QUICKLY.

YEAH. THAT'S A METER.

IS THAT OKAY?

Ted: HOW WE GOING, GUYS?
IT'S 12:04.

-WE DONE IT. WE DONE IT.
-IT'S IN. IT'S IN.
-OH

THANK FOR THAT
MATE.

OH, I'M TOO OLD
FOR THAT

-SO, WE'VE DONE IT.
-WE'VE DONE IT.

-AND FRED AND MUM ARE GOOD?
-YEP. THEY'RE ALL IN.

-OH.
-SWEET.

-WE DID IT, THOUGH.
-THANKS, TED.

-YES!
-PARKER!

Narrator: AFTER 6,000 MILES,
AND TWO MONTHS,

PARKER FINALLY HAS
HIS OWN GROUND.

Parker: AND IT'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY EXCITING.

IT'S OUR PIECE OF GROUND,
WHICH IS REALLY COOL.

TYLER -- YOU KNOW,
I'VE COME TO TRUST HER,

AND IT SEEMS LIKE
HER MOM AND DAD

KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT,

AND, LIKE, THEY ALL SEEM
PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT.

YEAH. I'M GLAD WE GOT IT.

WE'VE JUST GOT TO
GO TEST IT TOMORROW,

AND PROVE TO THE BOYS
THAT THERE IS GOLD.

BUT, YEAH, I'M EXHAUSTED,

SO I'M GONNA GO OFF TO BED,
AND GET SOME SLEEP.

-OH, TYLER!
-AAH! WHAT?

AAH!

OH
IT DIDN'T EVEN WORK.

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THEM.

YOU ALL.

Narrator:
TO VALIDATE PARKER'S CLAIM,

THE TEAM NEEDS TO PROVE
THERE'S GOLD ON THE LAND.

TED AND LECKY ARE
SKILLED PROSPECTORS.

THEIR LIVELIHOOD DEPENDS
ON DETECTING BURIED NUGGETS.

SO, WE'RE GONNA
HEAD DOWN THIS WAY.

SO, IF WE SEND THE BOYS UP
THE OTHER END OF THE LEASE,

BASICALLY.
-YEAH. COOL.

-SOUND LIKE A PLAN, BOYS?
-ALRIGHT. WE'LL JUST DRIVE
OVER THERE, THEN.

PULL UP ON THE ROAD, FIND
THE NEAREST RISE THAT YOU CAN,

JUST WORK THE EDGE
OF THE HILL.

-AWESOME.
-PLAN?

RIGHTO, MATIES.
-LET'S DO IT.

LET'S PARTY ON, EH?

I'M EXCITED, GUYS.
THIS IS AWESOME.

YEAH, NO.
IT SHOULD BE

WE GOT LUCKY
TO GET THIS LEASE.

-YOU'VE DONE WELL, TY.
-YEAH.
-YEAH.

Danny: WELL,
LOOK AT ALL THIS.

WHERE SHOULD WE DETECT?

WE ONLY HAVE
ONE DETECTOR.

YEAH, I KNOW.
IT KIND OF BLOWS.

WELL, I'M FILMING.

I'LL BE
FINE.

HEY, THIS LOOKS LIKE
A BUNCH OF OLD WORKINGS.

YOU WANT TO
CHECK THIS OUT?

IT MEANS THERE'S GOLD THERE,
RIGHT?

-LET'S DO IT.
-LET'S FIND SOME GOLD.

FIND SOME NUGS.

I KNOW THERE'S GONNA
BE GOLD HERE.

I'M JUST A LITTLE
BIT CONCERNED

IF IT'S GONNA BE ENOUGH,
OR OKAY, FOR PARKER.

BUT I GUESS WE'LL JUST
HAVE TO GET OUT THERE,

SAMPLE IT, TEST IT,
AND SEE HOW WE GO.

Lecky: IT'D BE PRETTY
BLOODY EMBARRASSING

IF WE'VE DONE ALL THIS EFFORT,
AND THERE'S NO GOLD.

SO, HOPEFULLY,
A LOT OF GOLD COMES OUR WAY.

Ted: THE LEASE NEXT DOOR
TO THE ONE WE'VE JUST PEGGED

HAS HISTORICALLY PRODUCED
A HEAP OF ALLUVIAL GOLD,

SO WE'RE DEFINITELY
IN THE RIGHT AREA.

SO, IF WE CAN FIND A COUPLE
OF PIECES TO PROVE IT UP,

THAT'S GONNA PROVIDE
A REALLY FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY

FOR PARKER,
AND FOR TYLER.

ALRIGHT. GIVE THAT
A BIT OF A KICKOFF.

YEAH. THAT'S STILL
IN THE GROUND, AND...

...THAT SOUNDS PRETTY SWEET,
SO I'LL HAVE A BIT OF A DIG.

THAT SOUNDS BLOODY GOOD,
ACTUALLY.

COME ON, BABY.

AND THERE WE GO.
GOT A NICE LITTLE NUGGET.

THAT'S PROBABLY
A GRAM AND A HALF, TWO GRAMS,

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
WE NEED INDICATORS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT
THE SIZE OF THE GOLD.

ALL THAT MATTERS ABOUT,
IS THE GOLD IS RUNNING THIS WAY.

SO, THAT'S PRETTY
BLOODY EXCITING.

I'D SAY THAT'S
PRETTY BLOODY GOOD, TOO.

THERE WE GO.
LOOK AT THAT.

BLOODY RIPPER.

SOUNDS LIKE A NUGGET.
I THINK IT'S A NUGGET.

AND IF IT IS,
THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING.

ACTUALLY, IT'S VERYEXCITING.

THERE WE ARE.
GOT A PIECE.

PHEW.

AND I'M NOT TOO FAR
FROM TEDDY'S PIECES, TOO.

AM I SUPPOSED TO, LIKE,
GO IN SOME SORT OF PATTERN?

YEAH, A FIGURE EIGHT.

HOPEFULLY DETECTING SOME BIG
OLD NUGGETS OUT OF THE GROUND.

Narrator: 1 MILE AWAY,
PARKER PROSPECTS

THE WESTERN EDGE
OF HIS NEW CLAIM.

WITH NO DETECTOR,

FRED COMES UP WITH HIS OWN
THEORY FOR MINING NUGGETS.

Fred: I'M GONNA LOOK
FOR BUNGARRA HOLES,

'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE
THE GOLD IS.

Narrator: THE BUNGARRA IS
A FORAGING MONITOR LIZARD

NATIVE TO AUSTRALIA.

Fred:
THEY LIKE TO DIG IN THE GROUND,
AND THEY PULL THE NUGGETS UP.

YEAH, RIGHT HERE.
CHECK THIS OUT.

OH, YEAH, I GOT A FRESH
BUNGARRA HOLE OVER HERE.

-NO?
-NOTHING.

NOT EVERY BUNGARRA
HAS A GOLD NUGGET.

NOT A BAD SIGNAL.

OKAY. THIS IS GOOD.

AND THIS IS EXACTLY
WHERE THE GOLD SHOULD BE.

DAD'S GOT TWO ABOVE ME,

SO, IF THIS IS GOLD,

IT MEANS THE RUN IS
A VERY GOOD LENGTH.

Narrator: DIGGING DOWNHILL FROM
WHERE TED FOUND HIS NUGGETS,

TYLER WANTS TO CONFIRM THEY'RE
ON CONSISTENTLY GOOD GROUND.

Tyler: ALRIGHT.

I HOPE IT'S A DECENT-SIZED
NUGGET, ACTUALLY.

THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

THE DEEPER YOU GET,
THE CHANCES OF IT BEING RUBBISH

GET LESS AND LESS.

IF I CAN PULL OUT
A DECENT-SIZED NUGGET RIGHT NOW,

THAT WOULD BE
THE CHERRY ON THE CAKE.

THAT'S GETTING LOUD!

THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD.

COME ON!

I'VE NEVER BEEN
THIS EXCITED

ABOUT GETTING A NUGGET
OUT OF THE GROUND.

OH, THANK
OKAY, IT'S OUT.

THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS
REALLY GOOD.

IT COULD BE ON HERE.

HOLY

OH, THANK

THAT'S SICK.

I'M SHAKING.

THAT'S A NICE NUGGET.

THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT I NEEDED.

THANK

Narrator: TYLER'S FIND
WEIGHS IN AT 1/3 OUNCE.

BETTER YET, IT'S THE FOURTH
NUGGET OF THE DAY.

THIS MUCH GOLD NEAR THE SURFACE
BODES WELL

FOR A LARGE-SCALE OPERATION
ON PARKER'S NEW 494-ACRE LEASE.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE LOOK FOR
BEFORE WE MINE.

WE FOUND IT.

THERE YOU GO.

Tyler: GOT TO SEE GOLD.
I'M STOKED WITH THAT.

A FEW NUGS -- IT DOESN'T
GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

Narrator: IN THE WESTERN
AUSTRALIAN DESERT,

AFTER HELPING PARKER
STAKE A 494-ACRE CLAIM,

TYLER, WITH HER PARENTS,
STRIKE GOLD.

SICK!

PARKER, FRED, AND DANNY

ARE STILL HUNTING
FOR THEIR FIRST NUGGET.

THAT'S A BOOT MARK.

Danny:
THAT IS A BOOT MARK.

PARKER?
-WHAT?

HAS TEDDY AND LECKY
BEEN OUT HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

SOME PRETTY FRESH DIGGINGS
OVER HERE, AND A BOOT MARK.

Danny: STILL NEED TO
GET OUR HEADS AROUND

HOW TED READS
THIS GROUND.

IS THAT SOMEBODY,
OVER THERE?

THAT'S NOT TYLER
OR TED OR LECKY, IS IT?

NO. I CAN SEE THEM ON THE
CAMERA. THAT'S SOMEONE.

THAT'S NOT ONE OF THEM,
IS IT?

THEY'RE WAY THE
OVER THERE.

YEAH,
THEY'RE THE OTHER WAY.

THEY'VE GOT
A DETECTOR OUT.

GUYS, DID YOU GUYS
SEE THAT CAR?

-YEAH.
-THAT'S NOT A SEPARATE LEASE.

THAT'S NOT A DIFFERENT LEASE
FROM US, IS IT?
-NO.

WE PUT THE POST DOWN ANOTHER,
LIKE, 1/2 MILE THAT WAY.

IT'S DEFINITELY
ON THE LEASE.

Danny: WHAT DO WE DO?
SHOULD WE JUST --

DO YOU WANT TO
SPEAK TO THEM FIRST?

YEAH.
THEY SHOULDN'T BE HERE, RIGHT?

-NO.
-WE PEGGED THIS

HEY!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

HE'S TAKING OFF.
GET A SHOT OF HIS LICENSE PLATE.

FRED, GRAB THE TRUCK!

GOT IT!

DIGGING UP OUR GOLD.

RIGHT.
GET IN THE TRUCK!

GET IN! GET IN! GET IN!

Danny:
HE'S A POACHER OVER THERE!

SEAT BELT, SEAT BELT!

WE NEED TO GET A PLATE NUMBER,
OR SOMETHING.

WHERE'S HIS CAR AT?
-THERE, THERE, THERE, THERE!

-I'LL GET HIS NUMBER PLATE.
-THERE, THERE, THERE!

DUST.
-DUSTY!

UGH!

WAIT, WAIT, YEAH!

UGH! I CAN'T
SEE IT!

SOME
ROCKED UP IN HERE,

TRYING TO STEAL
OUR GOLD.

IT'S JUST DUST!

OH,

-NAH.
-THIS IS DANGEROUS.

LET HIM GO.
LET HIM GO.

-DON'T.
- THAT.

HE'S NOT COMING BACK, BUT WE
NEVER GOT HIS NUMBER PLATE.

THAT WAS
DANGEROUS.

GOOD DRIVING, FRED.

I ALMOST LOST IT
ON THIS DUST.

I BET THAT GUY
IS NOT COMING BACK.
-NO WAY.

WE SHOULD GO
AND CHECK THAT HOLE.

-WAS IT IN HERE?
-YEAH.

'CAUSE WE CHASED HIM
DOWN THAT WAY.

GOT TO BE RIGHT OVER IN HERE
SOMEWHERE,

'CAUSE THIS IS
WHERE HE LEFT.

YEAH, IT WAS -- OH, YEAH.
THERE'S HIS TRACKS.

YEP.
LIKE, WALK IN A LINE, MAYBE,

AND SEE IF WE CAN
FIND A HOLE.

-THERE HE IS.
-THERE HE IS.

HOLY

-MATE.
-THAT'S A BIG HOLE.

LOTS OF QUARTZ AROUND HERE, TOO.
LOOK AT ALL THE QUARTZ.

I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

HE MUST HAVE GOT IT.
-OH

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE IT WAS,

BUT DEFINITELY
A START.

I GUESS WE COULD KIND OF --
WE STILL GOT SOME TIME LEFT.

WE CAN KEEP LOOKING.

BUT THAT'S KIND OF TAKEN
THE WIND OUT OF MY SAILS.

WE'LL SEE WHAT TED AND LECKY
AND TYLER HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT.

-OH, THERE'S THE BOYS.
-YEAH, COMING BACK IN NOW.

-I HOPE THEY WENT WELL.
-YEAH, WOW.

-THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD.
-YEAH.

IF THEY PICKED UP GOLD DOWN
THE OTHER END OF THE TENEMENT,

THAT'S 2Ks LONG.

WELL, THERE'S ALL THREE OF THEM
IN THERE, ANYWAY,

SO THEY HAVEN'T GOT LOST.

-GOOD START.
-THAT'S A GREAT START.

-HELLO.
-HEY, GUYS.
-HEY, MATE.

HOW'D YOU GO?

WE HAD A VERY GOOD DAY.
DO YOU HAVE THE GOLD?

OH, COME ON.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK. YES!

-OH.
-WHAT'D YOU FIND?

HOLY...
-YEAH.

-FOR REAL?
-YEAH.

NOT BAD, HEY?
MOM AND DAD FOUND THE OTHERS.

DAD FOUND TWO OF THEM.
MOM FOUND ONE OF THEM.

THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

LIKE, I KNOW
THEY'RE NOT MASSIVE,

BUT IT JUST PROVES THAT
THE RUN'S STILL THERE.

Danny: OH, THEY'RE NICE, THOUGH.
THAT'S AWESOME.

-HOW'D YOU GUYS GO?
-NOT SO GOOD.

-NOT SO GOOD?

WE FOUND SOME DUDE DIGGING
A HOLE, LIKE A POACHER.

-YEAH, RIGHTO.
-WHAT'D YOU DO?

CHASED HIS ASS DOWN.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT IT?

Ted: MM. YOU'RE PROBABLY LUCKY
YOU DIDN'T CATCH HIM,

AND GIVE HIM A FLOGGING.
-WHY?

BECAUSE HE'S PERFECTLY ENTITLED
TO BE EXACTLY WHERE HE IS.

Tyler: WHEN YOU PEG,
YOU DON'T GET INSTANT --

IT'S NOT INSTANTLY YOURS.

THERE'S A PROCESS
IT HAS TO GO THROUGH.

AND WHILE THE PROCESS
IS HAPPENING,

THE GROUND IS PENDING, SO IT
MEANS ANYONE CAN COME ON IT.

SO, BASICALLY,
THE NEXT 9 TO 12 MONTHS,

ANYONE CAN COME OUT HERE,
AND IS LEGALLY ENTITLED TO --

-9 TO 12 MONTHS?
-YEAH.

SO, LIKE,
FOR THE NEXT YEAR,

PEOPLE CAN JUST COME HERE,
AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT?

THEY CAN'T BRING MACHINERY
OUT HERE,

BUT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DETECT,
BECAUSE IT'S PENDING GROUND.

IT'S NOT OURS.
-IT'S NOT YOURS

UNTIL IT'S BEEN
FINALLY APPROVED.

I'M SORRY. I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE,
LIKE, GIVEN YOU

A RUNDOWN
OF THAT PROCESS, MAYBE.

DON'T BE WORRIED, MATE.
WAIT A WHILE.

GEEZ.

THAT'S THE MINING INDUSTRY
IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

I GUESS THAT PUT THIS
ON THE OLD BACK BURNER.

IT MIGHT NOT BE THE ANSWER
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, BUT...

Fred:
THAT'S KIND OF

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
IT'S STILL YOUR TENEMENT.

Tyler: THAT WAS, LIKE,
MY LAST EFFORT, REALLY.

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE
FOR PARKER, NOW.

THAT WAS THE LAST ONE.

IT'S, LIKE, ALWAYS THE THINGS
THAT YOU DON'T EXPECT

TO BITE YOU
THAT BITE YOU.

I JUST HAD NO IDEA HOW DIFFERENT
IT WAS IN THE YUKON.

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT
OUR RULES AND REGULATIONS

WERE SO DIFFERENT.

Parker: I MEAN,
IT'S STILL AN OPTION, AND --

AND...

IT'S JUST GONNA
TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
IN THE MINING WORLD,

TIME IS THE MOST VALUABLE THING
YOU'VE GOT.

I GET PARKER'S FRUSTRATION,
BUT, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

THAT'S JUST WHAT IT'S LIKE
MINING IN AUSTRALIA.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT I CAN CHANGE.

YEAH.

AND TOMORROW IS THE END
OF THIS TRIP,

AND WE'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD
A LONG TIME,

AND THERE'S DEFINITELY
SOME BIG DECISIONS TO MAKE.

WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF GROUND --
SOME GOOD, SOME BAD.

BUT...

YOU KNOW, WHERE WE TAKE IT
FROM HERE NEEDS TO BE DECIDED.

Narrator: COMING UP...

Danny:
QUITE A TRIP, HUH?

Narrator:
...PARKER ENDS HIS TWO-MONTH

AUSTRALIAN GOLD HUNT...

THIS FEELS MORE
LIKE AMERICA!

...AT THE HOME
OF A U.S. PRESIDENT...

Tyler: SO, THIS IS
HERBERT HOOVER'S HOUSE.

Fred: MAYBE THIS MIGHT BE
JUST ONE OF THOSE SPOTS.

IT'S ALMOST
KIND OF MAGICAL.

WE'VE CRACKED THE EGG, AND THERE
IS GOLD ELSEWHERE TO BE FOUND.

Narrator: ...AND MUST MAKE
THE DECISION OF HIS LIFE.

WHERE TO FROM HERE?

REALLY, I WANT TO WORK
SOMETHING OUT WITH YOU GUYS.

WE'VE GOT
A VERY GOOD START

TO SOMETHING THAT COULD BE
A GREAT THING.

OH, THEY'RE LOOKING --
OOH, THEY GOT GUNS.

Narrator: WESTERN AUSTRALIAN
IS THE ONLY PLACE ON EARTH

TO HAVE ITS OWN
DEDICATED GOLD COPS.

-HEY, GUYS. HOW ARE YOU?
-HOW ARE YOU?
-HELLO.

-NICE TO MEET YOU. I'M PARKER.
-PARKER.

Narrator: THEY PATROL AN AREA
OF OVER 1 MILLION SQUARE MILES.

SO, ARE THERE VERY MANY,
LIKE, BIG THEFTS?

WE'VE HAVE THEFTS
IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS

UP TO $250,000
WORTH OF GOLD.

Fred:

-DID YOU CATCH THEM?
-YEAH.

-GOOD.
-YEAH. GOT MOST OF
THE GOLD BACK, AS WELL.

-WOW.
-WOW.

WHAT IF SOMEBODY
WERE TO STAKE A CLAIM,

AND THEN, THE NEXT DAY,
THEY CAME,

AND THERE WAS SOMEONE THEY
THOUGHT WAS A POACHER ON IT...

-THIS IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL.
-HYPOTHETICAL.

AND THEY CHASED THEM OFF.

-I WASN'T A PART OF THIS.
-IS THAT A CRIME?

PENDING GROUND,
IT'S OPEN GROUND.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

WELL, IF THERE'S
A PHYSICAL ALTERCATION,

THEN IT'S AN ASSAULT, YEAH,
OR IF THERE'S THREATS...

NO THREATS. I MEAN,
HYPOTHETICALLY.

Fred:
QUITE A TRIP, HUH?

Parker:
YEAH, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.

WELL DONE, EVERYONE.

Narrator:
PARKER SCHNABEL AND HIS TEAM

FINISH THEIR
6,000-MILE EXPEDITION

IN A MINE SITE WITH
AN HISTORIC LINK TO AMERICA.

Tyler: SO, THIS IS
HERBERT HOOVER'S HOUSE.

HERBERT HOOVER WAS THE 31st
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Danny: NO WAY!

HE WAS THE FIRST
MINE MANAGER HERE.

-OH, WHAT?
-WICKED!

LET'S HAVE A LOOK
AT THIS BAD BOY.

Narrator:
HIS HOUSE STILL STANDS RIGHT ON
THE EDGE OF THE HUGE OPEN PIT.

Parker: YEAH, THIS FEELS
MORE LIKE AMERICA!

YEAH!

AFTER A TWO-MONTH SEARCH,
PARKER HAS A HUGE DECISION --

GO BACK TO NORTH AMERICA
EMPTY-HANDED

OR FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS
OF A U.S. PRESIDENT,

AND RUN HIS OWN GOLD MINE
IN AUSTRALIA?

I'M THINKING MAYBE THIS MIGHT BE
JUST ONE OF THOSE SPOTS

WHERE BRILLIANT MINE BOSSES COME
TO MAKE BRILLIANT DECISIONS.

IT'S ALMOST
KIND OF MAGICAL.

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT
TO SEE SOMETHING.

I BET THERE'S BEEN SOME DEALS
DONE AT THIS TABLE.

-CHEERS, GUYS.
-CHEERS.

WHAT A TRIP.

-TO SURVIVING.
-WHAT A JOURNEY.

JUST.

TYLER, PROPS TO YOU FOR FINDING
THE OPPORTUNITIES HERE

THAT WE'VE SEEN.

BECAUSE, IN THREE YEARS
OF DOING THIS TRIP,

LIKE, WE'VE SEEN WAY MORE
REAL OPPORTUNITY

THAN THE OTHER TWO YEARS
COMBINED.

-OH, IT WAS A JOINT EFFORT.
-SO, THANKS FOR DOING THAT.

-THANKS FOR HAVING ME, GUYS.
-YOU DID A GREAT JOB, TYLER.

Parker: I WOULDN'T MIND
MINING IN AUSTRALIA.

BUT WHERE ON EARTH
ARE THERE MINING LAWS

WHERE YOU STAKE A CLAIM,

AND EVERYBODY KNOWS
YOU'VE STAKED A CLAIM,

AND ANYBODY CAN GO MINE ON IT
FOR, LIKE, A YEAR?

I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.

I DON'T AGREE WITH THEM, EITHER,
BUT THAT'S JUST HOW IT IS.

IT DEPENDS HOW MUCH TIME
YOU HAVE.

I GUESS IF THERE'S
MORE DEEPER STUFF...

YEAH.
WELL, THEY CAN'T GET IN THERE
WITH A LOADER AND EXCAVATOR.

THEY CAN ONLY
DETECT AND PAN.

I MEAN, THERE'S A COUPLE
OF REALLY GOOD OPTIONS.

WE'VE CRACKED THE EGG, AND THERE
IS GOLD ELSEWHERE TO BE FOUND.

I FEEL LIKE,
EVERYWHERE WE'VE BEEN,

WE'VE MET SOME REALLY COOL
PEOPLE, AS WELL, WHICH HELPS.

I MEAN, IAN HOLLAND
WAS A GREAT GUY

THAT I WOULD LOVE TO GO, LIKE,
NUGGET-HUNTING WITH.

AND THEN PALMER RIVER,
WITH FITZGERALD, RIGHT?

I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY
ALL AGREE ON THAT.

-YEAH.
-MM-HMM.

I THINK THE PALMER GOLD FIELDS
WOULD BE A GOOD BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY.

THE AMOUNT OF TRUST AND COMFORT
THAT I HAD WITH THE FITZGERALDS

IS HARD TO REPLACE.

SO, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE
PRETTY MUCH WHITTLED IT DOWN

TO JUST A FEW
FROM THIS ENTIRE TRIP.

WHERE TO FROM HERE?

I MEAN, IT'S A TOUGH CALL,
REALLY.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF
REALLY GOOD OPTIONS.

BUT FROM MY STANDPOINT,
GROUND THAT GRADES WELL,

AND I THINK THERE'S
LOTS OF VOLUME OF,

OR THE POTENTIAL
FOR LOTS OF VOLUME OF,

WAS IN PALMER RIVER.

SO, I'M GOING GONNA
GIVE JACK AND CHERYL A CALL,

AND SEE IF WE CAN EITHER
MAKE A DEAL,

OR SET UP A TIME TO MEET.

I PREFER DOING THINGS
FACE-TO-FACE,

SO I'LL JUST TRY TO SET UP A
MEETING, AND TAKE IT FROM THERE.

THERE'S STILL A LOT OF DETAILS
TO HASH OUT, BUT...

-DUDE!
-THAT'S EXCITING.

Parker: WELL, HOPEFULLY
THEY'RE GAME FOR IT.

I'LL DIG MY TEETH INTO IT,
AND SEE WHERE WE GET.

-AMAZING.
-THANK YOU, GUYS.
-THAT'S AWESOME.

-YEAH!
-YES!

-CHEERS.
-I'M GONNA GO CALL THEM.

I'M GONNA GO CALL THEM
RIGHT NOW.

-YES!
-YES!

Danny: GOOD STUFF, MAN.

SO THAT'S IT -- PALMER RIVER.
HE'S MADE HIS DECISION.

I THINK I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND
WHY HE'S CHOSEN THAT PLACE.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE METHODS THEY'RE USING,

THE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE MET,

IT'S ABSOLUTELY, I THINK,
THE RIGHT DECISION TO MAKE.

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

Tyler: I'M STOKED.

PALMER GOLD FIELDS IS A GREAT
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM.

I WOULD LOVE IF HE WOULD
CONSIDER WORKING WITH ME

AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

YEAH, JUST FINISHING THE TRIP
OFF, AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE

I GAVE YOU GUYS A CALL
TO TALK ABOUT YOUR GROUND.

Fred: THERE'S DEFINITELY A
FUTURE FOR HIM IN AUSTRALIA.

PALMER RIVER, TO ME,
WAS THE TOTAL PACKAGE.

I DON'T THINK
WE BEAT IT.

I THINK THAT WAS THE PEAK
OF THE ENTIRE TRIP.

REALLY, I WANT TO WORK
SOMETHING OUT WITH YOU GUYS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S --
A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO

WITH JUST
THAT KIND OF TRUST.

AND I GUESS
THE REAL QUESTION IS,

IS IT, YOU KNOW --

IS IT IN THE REALM
OF POSSIBILITY FOR US

TO GET THAT PIECE OF GROUND
THAT WE WERE TESTING?

CHERYL: Yeah.
We'll -- we'll be in touch.

Parker: ALRIGHT.

WELL, WE MAY NOT HAVE A SIGNED
DEAL ON A GREAT PIECE OF GROUND,

BUT WE'VE GOT SOME
REALLY GOOD CONNECTIONS

WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE BEST
PIECE OF GROUND AVAILABLE.

AND HOPEFULLY, WE CAN MAKE
SOMETHING WORK, YOU KNOW?

WE'VE GOT
A VERY GOOD START

TO SOMETHING
THAT COULD BE...

A GREAT THING.
