Original subtitles

oh, there's dave.

- he ain't gonna be happy. -No.

He ain't going to be happy at all.

it's getting towards the end of the season.

We got really good gold.

But we're having a major problem.

Roach is dead.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

- what's up, dave? -Hi.

roach is shut down right now.

-Really? -It's non-stop fumes.

Looks like we got an injector going down.

It scares the hell out of me when those injectors start going out like that.

Well, if we keep on running it, we could blow up the motor...

-Yeah. -...So I wouldn't run it anymore.

But that's probably the best-looking box

-We've seen all season. -It looks good.

I don't know if it's worth the risk, though.

That's the thing.

You say go, *bleep*, we'll roll the dice.

Okay, chris. Here's another big load of pay for you, brother.

Right on. Right on. Bring it on.

-Good job, mr. Morgan. -We're working it.

You know, we're putting a lot of blood, sweat, and tears in this.

with two weeks of mining left before they head home,

It's another 5:00 a.M. Start for team turin,

Closing in on their first-ever

Million-dollar season.

You know, it's nice being back here at lynx creek.

But you know what? I'm ready to go home

And see my family.

All we got to do is get 100 ounces

And I think we can do it, you know.

We got two weeks, then we're done.

last week...

I'm excited, buddy.

...Dave was in montana attempting

To secure the team's future...

that's what I'm looking for.

...But he struck out.

Not a speck of gold.

And in arizona...

How about we cross the north side?

...After a week of futile searching...

It's time to move on.

...Casey finally landed on good gold at the north cut...

-We did it. Business. -We're in business.

...Steering their season back on track.

25.05.

Now, everything points to the crew reeling in its remaining

Target of 55 ounces.

I know dave and his guys have had a hard season,

But the north cut is paying out,

And, honestly, casey knocked it out of the park.

They found that great cut and it's paying out well.

in three weeks at lynx creek, casey and the crew have been

Chasing flood gold in rich but short-lived channels.

The crusher and jesse cuts are now mined out.

But in its first two days,

The new north cut has smashed the 4-ounce daily target,

Delivering an average of 11 ounces each day.

there's plenty of gold in these canyons,

But it can be spotty at times.

So I got to go out and do a proper prospect.

Be really smart, fast, methodical in testing.

for the north cut to keep paying, casey must constantly

Read the changes in the ground

To keep them on the gold.

jason's going up the tributaries like we do.

Chasing the good gold.

Still main channel.

We kind of test as we go, see what's going on.

A lot of people told me I was full of *bleep* about lynx creek,

That there wouldn't be a lot of gold left and they were wrong.

You just got to pick the best richest gold.

They'll see you fill up a full jar of gold.

That's great and all,

But you always want to go hunt for more.

I love that feeling of that hunt.

I am looking for a minimum of 15 colors

And good particle size.

Seeing like three medium-sized colors in here, jason.

three medium?

Yeah.

Damn it.

Trying to find stuff nobody mined

Takes me a while to figure it out.

It's not a perfect science.

If it was, they'd have already over-mined it.

And right now, there's still pay at the plant,

But I don't think it's enough.

Every minute that goes by is another minute

They're putting dirt through that plant.

Pretty soon it's going to run out.

1,000 miles north, in beaverhead county...

I'm looking for a future for my guys, my team.

Right now, we don't have ground for next season.

dave is on the trail of a potentially life-changing

Opportunity at a secret hard rock mine.

You know, there's still a lot of gold

Left underneath the surface of this planet.

And I'd like to have a little bit of it.

So, hopefully we find gold, it's good for team turin.

last season...

Open it up, jim.

...Dave went all in on a hunt

For the perfect hard-rock opportunity.

maybe this is the place.

Go underground and come out with a bucket full of gold.

Fire in the hole.

mining underground is costly and dangerous.

Whoa.

That right there could have been a serious headache.

But the right mind could be the path to a golden future.

I like that one.

That was amazing.

We put maybe a teaspoon of ore

And got almost a gram of gold out of it.

Earlier this season...

-Hey, john. -Hey, dave.

...Dave met john and andy ullery...

-How are you doing, man? -Good. How are you doing?

...Two brothers on the cutting edge

Of hard-rock gold recovery.

oh, my gosh.

John is amazing.

He's figured out a way to dissolve gold

Without using cyanide.

So now dave has invited the ullerys to help him

Prospect this intriguing opportunity.

-Hey, guys. -Hey, dave.

You made it to montana.

-How you doing, brother? -Good.

-Good to see you. -You, too.

We are going to meet the owner of the mine

That's going to show us around.

I don't know if I believe it, but I've been told it's there.

Large piles of gold bearing ore there's just sitting

Unprocessed on the site.

-Awesome. -Perfect.

If it's a true story, hopefully, we can pull some samples,

Take them back to arizona and run them.

-Sounds good to me. -You good with that?

-Yeah. -We're good.

You wanna jump in with me and we'll drive up?

-Sure. -All right. Let's go.

Dave and the ullerys are the first prospectors

To visit the property since the 1970s,

When a $15 million offer for the mine was turned down.

Now, it sounds like he's been sitting on this for

Two generations and nobody's done anything,

So let's really find out if it's worth some money.

Hi, jack.

Mine investor jack bosca is working

With landowner rory siaperas.

-It's nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

-So, where are we going? -We'll be going up there.

Up about 8,000 feet.

Gold ridge.

It's got a good name to it, doesn't it?

That does have a good name.

-I like that name. -Me, too.

But how many tons of ore do you think is out in front?

At least 10,000 or more.

I calculated it at 15 to 22.

Holy cow. Really?

That's a billion-dollar mine is what they said.

-Well, let's go look. -Yeah, let's go.

It's very unheard-of that you would have an ore dump

That's kind of like exactly what dave's looking for.

This is a big opportunity for dave because nobody's

Been up there since the '70s really looking at it.

It's been kept quiet in this whole valley,

In this county.

This is probably one of the biggest strikes of ore

That he's gonna find, that anybody's gonna find in the northwest.

back at lynx creek, as the roach

Chews through 90 yards of pay dirt an hour, there are signs

The north cut is running dry.

It's got gold, but not enough.

So now I've got to look at plan c.

D.

Maybe e, f. G.

casey, do you copy?

10-4, brother.

So, we have a window of roughly 40 minutes before

They're out of pay.

Oh, *bleep*.

So, I'm gonna go back. It's all I can do.

Gold mining.

as the pressure to stay on the gold increases,

Casey moves off the main channel

And searches the edges of the tributary.

And there is gold in all these sidewalls.

This stuff, right here.

Well, I've seen it before.

Could be really possible.

If it's got it, it's got it.

I don't know.

Gold fever.

I've seen it wipe out some friends.

People who really believed the mountain was full of gold

And then they lose everything.

We don't have time to dig and dig and dig, um,

Test pans all day long.

Looking for about 15 colors with good particle size.

That's a standard dave set.

But now.

Well, I mean, you got to get somewhat realistic.

Eleven colors.

Jason, you got a copy?

Yet, go ahead, casey.

You're good, bro.

Right on. We'll keep shipping it.

10-4, brother.

I'm sending casey ahead.

This is his home turf, I guess you could call it.

I don't think casey really has gold fever.

I just worry he's got lynx creek fever.

This tributary doesn't look like a lot,

But I got to trust him.

by sending a day's worth of pay on the strength of an

Eleven-color pan, casey is taking a massive risk.

I'm not worried about it.

It's getting to be marginal gold,

But if that's all we got, then we should mine it.

We will hit our goal. We'll make it happen, one way or another.

Okay, boys.

Here it comes.

You're trying to bury me completely, aren't you, boy?

these guys trust me.

Put gold in their pockets, they'll always be happy.

I stop doing that, I shouldn't be in the game.

Coming up...

Wow.

Dave's hunt goes high-tech.

14%.

that's pretty good.

That's very good.

but as the desire for desert gold heats up...

- you don't just send *bleep*, casey. -Excuse *bleep*.

Damn! Just doing the best I can.

...The pressure on the team...

I take my job seriously.

My gold don't go on no shelf, my gold goes to my dad.

And, by god, I'm away from my family,

I'm going to work my butt off.

...Reaches boiling point.

Okay.

Damn it.

almost 8,000 feet high on gold ridge,

Montana, dave is on the trail of a multi-million dollar

Opportunity at a secret hard rock mine.

you really do have to catch yourself

And be careful you don't get gold fever.

Yes.

Oh, I agree, 100%.

They've been offered $15 million and they said no.

He said no.

because he said it's a billion-dollar mine.

So let's really find out if it's worth some money.

the claim has been owned by rory's

Family for over 40 years.

So this is it, rory?

Yeah, this is it.

This is the mine?

This is the number one portal.

When we first started in the early '70s.

So, who did the timber sets here?

We did. When we were growing up.

How old were you when you guys did this?

Well, I first started when I was...

First time I come up there with them, I was 12.

I was 12 years old.

I just wanna say, that ain't normal.

12-year-old, go underground.

Go do the sets.

That's what you did, right?

Yeah. It kept me out of trouble.

As soon as school ended, I'd come up,

Dad says get your butt up there.

Learn how to use dynamite.

All that stuff.

That's an amazing story.

work in this area began in the 1860s,

When america's first gold rushers moved across from

California and into montana, hungry for new ground.

As placer deposits ran dry, the old-timers chipped

Away at quartz seams on the surface of the mountain.

They soon realized these seams

Led deep underground

To untold riches of silver and gold.

What makes the mine at gold ridge such an exciting

Prospect is that rory and his family have already extracted

The hard rock.

But unable to strike a good deal to process it,

Thousands of tons of ore remained piled by the mine.

wow.

Oh, wow.

Check that out.

this is amazing.

This is really unusual, the fact

He pulled all this ore out and it's never been tested.

You don't how much value's in it.

So, we are the first people that are really gonna say

Is it good, or is it bad?

How much value is in this?

When you are walking up and down these piles,

What you're looking for is host rock.

That's probably a host rock. It's just basalt.

It's volcanic stuff.

But you can start to see there's a quartz vein.

That quartz vein carrying lots and lots of minerals.

So that's what we look for.

We start to look for this.

There's tungsten, there's molybdenum, there's silver.

Copper.

It all come out of the earth's center.

So, we are checking to see if there's any gold or

Silver in this.

He's actually shooting it with an xrf gun,

Which tells you all the metals in there.

the handheld x-ray fluorescent monitor,

Known as an xrf gun, gives a snapshot of the rock's

Makeup and will determine

Which samples are worth taking

Back to the lab for more tests.

These are all just surface rocks.

So, off the bat, we are not showing any gold.

Just copper and cobalt.

I don't see any gold.

Anything in that?

Lead.

Lead and iron.

That's your silver, dude.

-Is that silver? -That's silver.

There's your gold.

That piece has .52% gold.

So, dave, if we get into those sources,

That's where your gold is at.

I'm excited.

There's gold, so, yeah, let's go take a look at that ore.

You wanna pop that off?

There it is.

-2-- -.2. That's your gold.

Wow.

0.2%.

that's pretty good.

That's very good.

So, for the size of that rock,

2% of it is gold.

the ullerys collect 30lbs of the best gold-bearing

Ore to test at their lab.

in my bucket, I'm taking a lot of sidewall pieces,

And a little bit of vein.

All in all, I think we found gold, we found silver.

The individual buckets, we'll crush those buckets.

And then can we put a dollar-per-ton price tag on it?

-Sure. -I mean, if it's worth millions of dollars

-Or thousands of dollars. -Exactly.

I think that we need a $600-per-ton cost.

Okay. Perfect.

All right, let's go.

Let's get 'er done.

Now the plan is we'll take the samples back to the lab,

We'll start breaking them down, digesting them,

And figuring out what the values are.

Hell, he might be sitting on millions of dollars,

Or he might be sitting on pennies.

It's hard to tell. Who knows?

There may be a future for me and my guys here.

back in lynx creek...

it was hard getting here.

It could cost us $40,000, but hey, look, we broke even now.

We still got weeks to go, so we can hit that 100 ounces

And get that million-dollar season.

casey feeds the roach with marginal pay from

The north cut, based on the strength of weak pans,

A risk of the crew is unaware of.

you better go, go, go, and turn and burn, brother.

I'm getting farther and farther and farther up the cut.

The haul times are getting longer.

It's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.

Here you go, mr. Chris.

keep it up. Keep it up.

if there's gold there and there's proof of it,

The pan is there, and it's got good gold in it,

They just got to stay in that zone.

You might have found it, but you gotta stay on it.

as the day draws to a close,

The plant has run north cut pay for ten hours straight

With over 400 tons waiting in the wings.

you know, casey and jason have stopped hauling *bleep* of us.

We got us a big-ass mountain in front of chris,

So hats off to them.

Shut her down.

I don't see *bleep* here, guys.

looks like *bleep*.

Yeah.

Looks like *bleep*.

it's not even worth pulling, guys.

is it that bad?

it's that bad.

I don't see nothing. Not one speck of gold anywhere.

Well, your north cut's runnin' out, casey.

Jason is panning the pay that casey just brought up.

Let's see what old casey got me sending down to you guys.

This is just a random from the pile.

Couple of pieces in there.

Three pieces and a couple of microns.

*bleep* me.

You telling me that's what I've been

Sending from the north cut all day?

If you're gonna be on the front, you get a change in the dirt,

Brother, you pan it.

casey and jason's job is to keep us on the pay,

So we got a problem.

We got two weeks and we got 60 ounces to get.

So they better figure it out and figure it out quick.

I'm getting farther and farther

And farther up the cut

And haul times are getting longer.

And then we're trying to pan ahead.

And it's just a perfect storm disaster waiting to happen.

It's like we are trying to keep everything

Balanced for you guys, but it's hard.

The truth is, we need to run better material than that.

-I get it. -We are not going to hit a 30-ounce cleanup

-If we keep running material like that. -I get it. I get it.

We'll figure it out, jason.

I'll take care of it.

Y'all boys need to find something out.

the plant is on point. We are running great.

So one thing is going to happen.

Gold has got to be in the ground.

We are doing our part.

They got to do their part.

Pressure is on them.

You can't just emotionally mine, brother.

I'm not emotionally mining.

you don't just send *bleep*, casey.

You got it, morgan?

excuse *bleep* me!

I'm just doing the best I can.

Don't start getting all *bleep* pissy.

our living depends on this, so don't *bleep* start yelling at me.

No.

Good times.

I don't like to give up on tributaries.

It's an obsession. I never quite understood it.

But I think it's just the possibility of getting gold.

I said it was main channel, go ahead and mine it.

But he was right by saying, you know, emotional mine.

dawn at lynx creek.

Are we gonna shut down? What are we gonna do?

Just keep running that material?

chris and nate pick through the low-value pay dirt

Casey gambled on sending yesterday.

10-4.

but we're not losing on this deal.

it's junk.

with the team burning through colorado profits,

And a target of 55 ounces to hit in just nine days,

They can't afford any more mistakes.

we let casey take the front line on this.

But the thing is, we got to find something

Better than three to four ounces a day.

We can't be having that.

We got to get material, gold-bearing material,

To this damn plant.

huh. Woo!

God.

Hey, nate.

When we get done with that,

Go over by that exhaust.

The smell's coming from that exhaust.

-Yeah, no smoke or anything. -I know. It's weird.

It's just something not burning right or what.

It's oof...

It's killing me up here.

I take pride in what I do and whenever I see wasted effort

And wasted cost, I get fired up.

It's at the situation.

I can't stand complacency.

I just don't want nothing wrong with the plant.

with the north cut mined out, casey is back out

Prospecting at the western edge of lynx creek.

Bull *bleep*.

now under strict instructions from jason to get

Sign off before he runs any more dirt.

nobody is perfect. And we all make mistakes.

I was wrong to go ahead and mine it.

That was my fault.

But I tell you what, if I don't deliver, I'm *bleep*.

Let's see if it's actually gotten gold left in her.

Never know until you pan it.

Come on. Give me something.

Not seeing anything.

That's not good.

*bleep* this.

I've brought the team here twice.

I've spent so many years studying,

Looking at lynx creek, testing it.

Now it's all got to come into play.

Do I have gold fever in lynx creek?

Yeah, sometimes.

So I have to learn to manage it and control it.

The pressure kind of comes back on me right now.

The clock is ticking.

I just know right behind me

That plant is coming down to their last few scoops.

I just can't make ground have gold.

after striking out in the west, casey passes the last

Few tributaries on his return to the roach.

This is right what I'm looking for right here.

Looks like this tributary's never been touched ever.

Let's go.

if he doesn't strike gold here,

The chances of a 30-ounce week will evaporate.

So the good news is, this pan works out,

Look how close I am to the plant right there.

That's a short haul.

I'm seeing micro-fines,

But I may need to have an excavator in here to double-check it.

Hey, jason, got a copy?

Yeah, go ahead, casey.

I'm thinking you need to bring the 480 over.

I thought the great thing about lynx creek was

You could always do it with a hand shovel and a pan, man.

Yeah, I just need you to rip a line across the old channel.

There's something about the ground that tells me there's a lot of

Material and a good possibility of getting gold.

Now, let's just hope there's something there worth digging.

I'm just excited to see how the test pans go.

If morgan would just do

The prospects right the first time,

I wouldn't have to be here.

We're in business.

Look at that. This pan is a badass plan.

holy *bleep* balls.

My confidence is 100% that this is going to be mineable

Just based on the particle size

That I am seeing in the first plan.

Hell of a pan, casey.

I think we're in business, brother.

Glad I showed up to find that for you.

Believe me.

It's like non-stop bull *bleep*.

You know what I'm noticing, though, morgan?

All I can see is big daddy dave's office.

Yeah. What you think about office cut?

It's not a bad name.

Call it the office cut.

Well, I'm gonna go to the office.

I like it already.

Where are you off to? I'm off to the office.

-That works. -I feel like a banker now.

I don't have gold fever. I have lynx creek fever.

I feel redeemed.

Million-dollar season, here we come.

the next morning, jason

And casey are on the trail of lynx creek gold.

this cut, it's pretty thick pay, but it's very, very narrow.

It's not gonna last forever.

But we do have enough that I think

That we can get ahead of that plant. Yeah.

jason, you're doing a great job.

Could you say it in my good ear?

I couldn't quite hear you there, jason.

Ow!

with a 30-ounce gold target this week...

Nathan.

The things bad.

I know.

Nate and juan investigate the smell of gasoline

Coming from the roach.

-I went over there right now. -Get your *bleep* eyes burned.

Oh, yeah. It's the coughing. Then your eyes burn.

Hey, chris. Got a copy?

Yeah.

Just to let you know, this thing just got an injector

Starting to go out in it. The roach does.

That's your smell.

Told them.

all right, boys.

Let's shut her down.

Told 'em yesterday I smelled something different.

Damn it.

They won't listen to me.

*bleep*

I'm concerned about our 30-ounce week.

I'm not a mechanic, but I can tell you what I do know.

When it smells different.

And it's been smelling different.

I've said it. I've said it. I've said it.

No. No. No.

Season's over.

It's frustrating, but I do pay attention,

Every movement up there.

When I smell something different, I make a call.

lynx creek.

After chris's early warnings about the roach were ignored,

And with just eight days of mining left,

The plant may now have a season-ending problem.

I take my job seriously.

My gold don't go on no shelf, my gold goes to my dad.

And, by god, I'm away from my family,

I'm gonna work my butt off.

It hurts to be dismissed.

the roach relies on fuel injectors

To power its engine.

Nate and juan believed that at least one injector is

Misfiring, flooding the engine with fuel.

Leaking fuel into the engine dilutes the oil

Needed for lubrication and can

Quickly lead to catastrophic

Engine failure.

If the injectors damage the engine beyond repair,

It could result in a five-day delay and cost $20,000 to replace.

we're gonna check the oil right now.

There's a possibility that if one of the injectors

Let go, it might be going into the oil pan.

We're done, dude.

well, I think we need to let it sit overnight.

We can pull the dipstick out again.

If it's on the mark tomorrow morning, I wouldn't run it.

We're done until we get an injector or see exactly what dave wants to do.

-We may be done, dude. -Yeah.

I don't know if we stop the plant yesterday

And checked it out then, do we save it? I don't know that.

I'm not a mechanic. It's not my job.

But, hey...

I'm headed out to the ullery brothers' lab.

They are out here in the middle of the arizona desert

And they are able to extract the gold out of the ore that

Comes out of the hard rock mine.

Two days after his prospect at gold ridge, montana,

Dave arrives at rich hill to visit the ullery brothers'

State-of-the-art gold recovery plant.

here we are.

See if there's any gold in that montana ore.

We're just done the last bucket here.

All right.

I know how to move that material

And I know how to crush it.

These two guys, they know how

To get that gold out of that ore.

We gonna crush it down, telling us

How much precious metals are in this ore

And then we know what the value of this mine will be.

the first step, the 30lbs of ore

Are crushed to a fine powder.

We made it into dust.

Let's go screen it.

this is the stuff that's over my head.

So, now, from here on out, it's up to john.

the powdered ore contains nine precious metals.

But to discover the gold content,

John must run a fire assay.

When it starts heating up, all the lead will come together.

And the lead will gather all your precious metals--

All your gold and your silver and your platinum.

-Yes. -Into the lead.

-Into the lead. -Okay.

a fire assay combines crushed ore, lead,

And a chemical mix known as flux.

When heated to over 1,800 degrees, the flux helps the gold

Fuse to the lead,

Pulling it to the bottom of the solution.

The resulting button is heated again

This time to 2,100 degrees,

Melting away the lead, leaving pure gold.

There is a button in there.

There it is.

So we'll just let it cool off for a minute

And then we'll go upstairs and weigh it.

Okay.

So now we can determine the value of that little bb,

And then we relate that back to the ore.

We are looking for a dollar's per ton

Of the value of that ore.

We'll start with bucket number one.

Okay, so this bead is coming back at .0239.

-And that's gold. -Yeah. That's gold.

So, bucket number two is .0038.

And it's how much dollars per gram?

before dave calculates the gold content,

He estimates the capital he will need to extract it.

$600 per ton cost.

You know, which, I think

That's on the reasonable side for a hard rock mine.

-Sure. -Lemme just work this out.

Let me see if I can get dollars per ton.

These numbers say there is over $900 per ton of ore

For the gold and the silver.

You got $300 per ton profit coming back, not including all

Those other minerals you talked about, right?

-Okay. -Sounds good to me.

If there's $900 a ton just sitting there,

That's worth going after.

It is.

with over 20,000 tons of ore sitting at gold ridge,

At $300 of profit per ton, dave could

Be in line for a $6 million payday.

But it would require considerable investment

To get the project off the ground.

there's a lot of work left to do.

But at $900 a ton, it is worth investigating.

All right, guys. Take care.

It's a long-range, long-term project, but it is doable.

I don't know what our future is going to see,

But this could include hard rock mining in montana.

I'd love it.

How did the box look, guys?

Might be the last gold you see in that box for the season.

What you talking about?

Juano, he was filling up the water jugs there,

And he smelled the raw fuel.

*bleep*

Is that what chris was smelling?

Yeah.

with a suspected misfiring fuel injector,

The small amount of pay from the office cut could be

Team turin's last gold of the season.

I mean, it's got a lot of gold in there.

Piles of gold in here, man.

*bleep*

Looks pretty damn good, honestly it does.

Big, chunky stuff, too.

look at all this gold.

Box is packed.

Looks great.

Chasing the million dollar goal,

And all of the sudden, the plant can't run now.

Some really nice gold there.

Let's pull the top.

-Pull the top and see what we got in it. -Let's pull the top.

That way when dave gets here we can actually make

An educated decision.

gold fever can be real expensive.

You know it's times like this where you can lose your ass.

If this was my operation,

This was my call, I'd pull the plug on it right now.

There's dave.

He ain't generally happy.

after three weeks on the road,

Dave returns to a season-defining decision.

-What's up, dave? -Hey, dave.

Hey, dave.

We got an injector going down.

Chris started talking yesterday about a smell

And there's no smoke, but there's fumes like no other.

-But it ran all day? -It ran all day.

-Never stopped? Okay. -Never stopped.

It scares the hell out of me when those injectors start going out like that.

Done. 20 grand.

Yeah.

Well, if you guys all want to quit.

-And walk away... -No.

I don't mind running it all day.

I'm all for it.

We just don't make the call on it.

You say go, we'll *bleep* roll the dice.

The gold looks real good tonight, though.

We are on the biggest gold we've been on this season.

And sometimes boxes lie,

But that's probably the best-looking

Box we've seen all season.

I will gamble that engine.

yeah, buddy.

Because if it blows out,

I want to put the best gold in here as soon as we can get it.

-Absolutely. -That's it.

If you say do it, we'll *bleep* roll the dice.

I'm willing to risk that engine

For two good days of pay.

What I'm risking is possibly a $20,000 engine.

Yeah, that's a big risk, a big gamble.

But I'm going to go for it.

I'm not ready to give up.

I'm not leaving until we hit our million-dollar season

And I don't think we're there yet.

he made a call.

Let's go.

Baby doll, we're going to go.

-Right, guys. -All in, brother.

Let's do it.

One, two, three.

all in!

coming up...

With nothing left to lose...

You know, we need to go back to the basics.

...Nate hatches a plan to save the roach.

Chris, I'm going to rev it up real quick.

Go ahead.

so, this is where you guys live.

You and your brother.

we were growing up up here. Yeah.

Since '69, when we first started.

Wow. And did you build this or was it built?

This was built.

This was 18... Yeah.

This was one of the old miners cabins, back in the 1800s.

I don't know if we can get in here or not.

This is the old stove we used.

We have the floor fixed up nice.

We had a bunk there.

a guy could survive here, though.

Yeah, you just muck it out, clean it up.

If you want to try what we did,

And mine the way we mined.

-Live here. -Live here.

Get your bunk set up.

Muck this thing out.

Get the stove fixed.

I'll tell you what, I got a travel trailer

That I mine out of.

-A travel trailer. -Yeah.

I'm gonna stay with that.

This is nostalgic.

All right.

- last night... -There's dave.

He ain't going to be happy.

...Dave discovered the roach on its deathbed.

looks like we got an injector going down.

It's going to be all your call.

I will gamble that engine.

all in!

all I'm saying, I need to check some other things first.

now, with the roach on its last legs,

Nate clutches at straws

For a million-dollar solution.

You know, last night, I was lying in bed

Thinking about the engine and what's going on with it.

And really started thinking I need to go back to the basics.

The injector, it's burning hell of a lot of fuel,

But if the air filter is restricted,

It can cause the same thing.

unblocking the air filter could be all it takes.

We had real dusty conditions.

So the dust comes round here and sucks right up in here.

Start seeing a lot of clogged-up ports.

A lot of *bleep* coming out.

I need to blow it out.

So I can get it cleaned out.

Really not a big fan of blowing air filters out.

Usually gonna replace them.

But you ain't going to find the auto parts store,

I'll tell you that right now.

It's got to have fuel, it's got to have air.

If we don't have that, you got no compression.

After that you are *bleep*.

Chris, I'm just gonna rev it up real quick.

Go ahead.

Let's fire this bad boy up.

Damn it.

oh, boy.

All right, here we go.

if nate's bush fix has worked,

It means the injectors are operational

And the roach will run pay dirt

Without the risk of wrecking the engine.

Do you smell it over there or anything?

I don't.

Yeah, buddy.

It's smooth. No vibrations hardly.

It ain't rocking back and forth like it was

When it started smoking.

Sometimes you gotta take a step back,

Think basic and go on from there.

-Air filter. -Air filter.

-Yeah. -Oh, you are *bleep* me.

Good job, buddy.

We are back and running.

You smell anything?

I don't either.

great! Let's go move some dirt.

Yeah.

You got to have so much pressure

Going to the injectors in order for that to atomize.

Anyway, all it was was a simple fix.

Change the air filter and we are back running.

with the roach back in business

And the gold from the office cut flowing,

Team turin spends the next 12 hours chasing gold.

The office cut is definitely starting to thin out.

She's shallowing up. And right now,

It's a race to hit our goal for the end of the week.

we are all pretty excited about the gold weigh,

Kinda curious exactly how much we are going to get.

So hopefully it's quite a bit and hopefully it's paying

The bills and we are going to hit that million-dollar season.

at daybreak, the team gathers to pull the mats.

Looks pretty good.

I don't think there is 30 here, but...

Looks good, but it doesn't look great.

Yeah. Looks done, son.

I'd say that would be the end of the office cut, brother.

We'll be on it by this afternoon.

Office cut has already come to the end.

It doesn't have a lot of pay, so...

It's over.

I'm gonna have to find some more ground and quick.

-Hi, shell. -Hi, babe.

So, where are we at here in arizona?

We are at 45.5.

So we need 55 to reach our goal of 100.

It's possible.

when we talk about a million-dollar season,

It's not just for us.

You know, there's a bigger purpose.

If we can reach our goal, we are honoring jesse by

Taking care of his family.

Hey, guys. Come on over.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Hey, dave.

-How's it going? -What's up, guys?

That's pretty.

pretty gold, isn't it?

one week, boys.

We got one week left.

You guys set a goal for each week.

What was it?

30 ounces that we need to hit our goal.

And what did we get last week?

-25.05. -Yeah.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but we didn't reach 30.

We got 24.35.

So, what are we at?

What do we need?

What's our total here in arizona?

So, right now, we are at 69 with this.

So, we need 31 ounces.

-That's a tall order. -In one week.

The thing is, if we've got nowhere to go,

And no good ground, we ain't gonna get 31 ounces.

So, what have we got left in the office cut?

Scratching up the last of it, dave.

Well, we need to go find some ground

And we got to get out in front, guys.

I'm not done here.

This is lynx creek.

We now lynx creek.

It's time to put a shovel in the ground, pan in the water,

Find some gold.

unfortunately, we are out of ground.

So tomorrow we're gonna have to get together, all six of us, go prospecting.

We are going to find something.

There's one thing that I've learned about this crew is

They don't have a give-up.

We got one week.

31 ounces.

It's got to be our best week ever.

So it's all hands on deck.

I personally love the pressure.

We work better under pressure.

This whole team does. We've proven that.

I mean we blew colorado's goal out of the water.

That's a statement right there.

We're gonna do it here, too, damn it.

it's going to be a tall order finding

That much gold in just a week.

So, now it's time to dig deep and see what

We are made of and make this happen.

You guys in?

-Yeah. -Let's do it.

-Let's do it, man. -One, two, three.

all in!

Yeah, it will have to be our biggest week here in arizona.

But I still think we can do it.

Later, buddy.

We try to not get gold fever.

For all the world, gold has this mystique.

It's a treasure.

We seek it.

I believe in these guys.

I still think there's enough ground here

And enough gold in the ground to get us over 31 ounces

And we have a million-dollar season.

next time...

we are in business.

...On the season finale of dave turin's lost mine...

yeah, boys. Let's get it.

One last treasure hunt...

Big boulders equals big gold.

...Pushes machines...

shut it down.

Shut it down, chris.

*bleep*

...And men...

I never had a chance to mourn and weep for my dad and jesse.

...To their limit.

This is what we had up till today's cleanup.

...As team turin discovers...

we're getting close now.

...Their million-dollar fate.

Oh, you got to be *bleep* kidding me.
