narrator: At a slower speed,

The roach will process
30% less dirt,

Meaning it will take almost
a third longer to recover

Box creek's gold.

Nathan: Might be good
for just a little bit,

But I don't want it
to last too damn long.

So, we've got to come up
with a solution here.

Well, we got to
up production, man.

We got to
figure this out.

I mean, last year,

We had the hopper,
and we had the conveyor.

You know, we could
tune it how we wanted it.

You had a lot
of time there.

I don't have a feeder.

What about rusty?
Where's that at?

It's in montana.

Narrator: Last season,
team turin's wash plant,

Old rusty, had a larger hopper
and grizzly bars,

Allowing the team to screen out
bigger boulders

And used a conveyor

To regulate the flow of pay dirt
to the plant.

Well, can somebody
go get it?

She was
a good ol' girl.

You know,
I put a lot of love

And sweat and tears into her,
and she did well on montana.

Yes, but let's
figure this out.

We go get that,
we got transportation costs.

We got a feeder,
a feed conveyor,

And then
remember that grizzly?

Those are all things
that cost money.

And if we can go another
30% production

It'd probably for it.
That's good.

I hate to say that,
but this machine is not designed

For what we're going to
put it through.

You know,

temperatures in box creek soared

To almost 100 degrees, 'causing
water sources to evaporate.

We're out of water.
Pretty much high and dry.

You know,
our pond just ran dry.

Box creek runs under the ground
through here,

And when the snow starts melting
up the mountain,

We get more water,
but right now there's no snow

On the mountains.

So, we ran low on water,
and the problem with low water

Is these little ruffles fill up
with black sand.

And what happens is
there's no place

For that piece of gold to fall.

In fact, you can see a little
piece of gold right there

That's going to skip over here.

It still didn't have a place
to fall, and it's going to surf

All the way down into our pond.
We lose gold.

We can pull

Either way,

Narrator: Dave plans to increase
their water supply

By taking recycled water
from their tailings pond

And pumping it 50 yards
to a t-junction,

Where it will be mixed with
fresh water

From their intake pond.

In theory, it should boost
the amount of water

Going through the wash plant.

So, why don't I go get

Let's send k.C.

Narrator:
The dairy dredge was one of
the most successful wash plants

In american history.
Weighing in at 50,000 pounds,

It used these solid steel spuds
to anchor and pivot itself

As it dragged its way up creeks
and rivers on the hunt for gold.

Dave: These old rivets are
the same way

They built battleships
in world war two,

The golden gate bridge,
the empire state building.

Same technology.

To regulate and increase

If it works,

Their gold production

Alright, we're ready to move

It's going to be tricky.

You got to talk to me

What we're going to do is lift

We're going to move it over

There you go.

...And the midsummer heat
is taking its toll.

Right now, we're losing gold.
We're not running.

So, it's time to quit talking
and start doing some walking.

Narrator: For the conveyor
to run smoothly,

It needs solid foundations.

Two 5-ton blocks of concrete
must be placed

In exactly the right position
in relation to the wash plant.

That looks pretty damn level
right there.

That'll do it.

Hey, jason,
swing your bucket over.

The next stage
of the operation

Requires total precision,
so jason changes his game plan.

Jason: So, the reason
I'm taking my bucket off

Is when you have a chain
coming off the back side

Of your bucket,
as you swing and go up,

You can only curl
your bucket so much

And you don't get
that same pivot that you need.

turns it with the loader

Before they lower it down
on the concrete blocks.
