Narrator "Gold rush"...

We got water
Coming over the top.

Hit the water line.

I thought you knew
What you were doing.

Rick That's what I call dumb.

If these problems
Keep happening,

Then it costs us money.

I don't give much slack To guys.

That want more responsibility.

Hey, shut it off!

These fine tailings,
They're gonna back right up.

Parker comes here and sees this,
He's gonna lose his mind.

What the.

This isn't really how
We do things here.

Come up with another
Solution, brennan.

Sakes.

Man Holy.

Whoa, whoa, stop!

Parker This season's
Been pretty manic.

We're just over halfway
Through the year,

And everything's
Been a mess, a fight,

And we're still trying
Hard to get to 6,000 ounces.

Narrator Parker schnabel is.

Chasing a colossal
$7.2 million goal.

He's mined just
Over $3.7 million,

But he's struggling
To keep up the pace.

Yeah, we're pretty short-staffed
At the moment,

But these plants have to run.

Crank it up.

Narrator
At one end of his 61-acre cut,

Foreman dean is throwing
All available resources.

At running sluicifer.

Dean Get it done with
And get sluicing.

Parker It pretty much
Leaves brennan alone.

Down at big red, which is
A pretty big challenge,

But he'll just have
To make it work.

Narrator
Brennan, recently put in charge.

At big red, is keeping
The plant running.

By hot-seating between the
Rock truck and the excavator.

Brennan
Hot-seating the yukon crossfit.

Whoo.

That's exactly what the hell
I'm doing right now.

Narrator While his only crew
Member, bree, feeds the plant.

Pitbull, smokes, let's go.

Well, I don't run
Truck very often,

But when I do, I'll make
Sure I give it a workout.

Hey, bree, give me
One of your smokes.

Bree Off!

I really enjoy
Working with brennan.

Play jokes on each other,
Give each other.

But we're friends
And we get along.

Brennan Parker's already
Threatened to throw me back.

In the hose seat
If I can't hold up my word.

On this gold that we've set.

I've had enough loading trucks,
It's not what I want to do.

Aw.

Hey, brennan,
Can you come over here?

These fine tailings come up
Another 6 inches,

They're gonna back right up
This run.

When that happens,

The gold shoots right off
The end of this.

Parker comes here and sees this,

He's gonna Lose his mind.

I've got to get the loader.

Narrator Big red's pad was
Originally 80 feet high,

But the tailings have built up.

And have now reached
The sluice runs.

Brennan I got to keep digging
Us out, digging us out,

Digging us out.

It slows me down.

I can't go down and dig out
The pay I need to.

Narrator If the fine tailings
Back up into the sluice boxes,

They will clog the riffles.

And gold will pour out
Into the tailings.

Brennan's solution...
Use the loader to clear.

The tailings from the bottom
Of the sluices.

Brennan Every time I'm told
I'm gonna get some trucks,

They never show up.

So, here I am stuck In a loader,

Not doing what I need to do.

I'm getting a little bit
Pissed off here.

Here's Parker right now.

I have no idea what he wants,
But I'm preparing.

Myself for an ear
Full of right now.

What the?

What's going on here?

Fighting These fine tailings.

This isn't really how
We do things here.

The reason we put all
These conveyors in,

Is that one loader
Runs the plant.

I know we've sat in this
Spot for quite some time,

Sluicing, but you got
To get creative with.

Where you're Putting tailings.

And try to avoid this
As much as possible.

Like, you need to be Doing other.

Well, I'm trying my
Hardest here, you know,

I'm short-staffed
And I want to make.

This run like
A well-oiled machine.

You say that a lot, you
Say I'll get it done,

You say, "I'll make a plan,"
And here we are.

You have to come up with
Another solution, brennan.

I'll take matters in my own
Hands and figure something out.

This is Frustrating for me, too.

Sakes!

Narrator
Tony beets has been running.

Dredge one and
Monica's wash plant.

So when you're bringing
Pay right up here,

Line up and then
Go straight back.

But he's only mined
2,400 ounces...

Way behind his rival parker
In their race to 6,000 ounces.

What's going on,
What's happening?

If you're sure.

Here we go again.

Kevin What the hell?

Are you serious?

I remember feeding it on
A hill with the buggies.

Ngngngng!

Yeah.

Well, we have it.

Yeah.

Narrator
The pearson box is old school.

There are no moving parts.

Instead the monster's
Spray bars pound 9,000 gallons.

Of water a minute
Onto the pay dirt.

The water separates
Off the worthless rocks.

Through this center chute.

And sends the gold-rich
Material down.

Through the screen deck,

Where the gold settles
In the sluices.

The pearson box hasn't been used
In 15 years.

And is locked to the ground.

Tony's plan...
Pull it onto the trailer.

Using the winches
On the oshkosh.

Then take it 2 miles west,

To where tony has an already
Stripped 10-acre cut.

Mike It's as high as it goes.

This is not good.

Narrator
Tony will use the 245 excavator.

To lift the base
Of the pearson box...

Hold it.

While the winches Pull the top.

Easy.

Holy Pull out, stop!

Narrator Tony beets is
Attempting to resuscitate.

A 40-year-old wash plant.

Man Holy Pull out!

Got it!

Tony uses his 8-wheel,
18-ton oshkosh...

To haul the pearson box.

To an existing cut
Near the indian river.

Tony needs to set the box
At a precise 5.8-degree angle.

Yeah.

It's perfect.

I don't think you can
Get it much better.

Hey, guys, I've seen terry.

He takes a lot of leaks,

And he really doesn't
Have any privacy about it.

Terry, you got a copy?

He makes sure that
Everyone sees his manhood.

Why are we discussing This.

Can we talk about mining?

Narrator
Two thirds of the way through.

His rookie mining season,
Rick ness is 300 ounces.

From his 1,000-ounce,
$1.2-million season goal.

I feel like everybody's got.

Their eyes on the prize
Out here.

I want to do better.

My first year in the klondike
Than parker did, todd did.

I want to prove that
I'm better than them.

But we've got to keep our
Foot on the gas at this point.

There's no guarantee
We're gonna hit our goal.

The setup we have means

I have to just feather
An even flow of dirt.

To the plant,
Not to overwhelm it.

Just keep a steady pace.

Narrator Rick's pushing his
Wash plant, durt reynolds,

To the limit, running 160
Yards of pay dirt an hour.

Zee

Rick, do you got a copy?

We got water coming over
The top at the bypass.

The whole prewash was just full.

I mean, every one
Of these problems

I have to shut down for
Is costing us money.

I'll jump in.

Zee Problem is,
Some of the materials,

It doesn't break apart
That well,

And all it's doing is
Sticking to the metal.

On the inside of the prewash and
Then just causing havoc.

Definitely can't go the rest of
The season working like this.

Narrator Every hour
That durt reynolds is down.

Costs rick $1,000 in lost gold.

Yup, that will work.

Fire it up.

Zee Just gets Frustrating.

Rick This is crap!

Sweet, you're both here.
Yeah, hey, man.

So I've been thinking...
Feathering the dirt.

Into this wash plant
With the loader.

Just isn't working Anymore.

Freddy Good. Right now, you get
Those clumps of material.

That fall in there.

Then you got to slow down
And wait for it to clear out.

And the guys are climbing
Up and fishing around.

In there And getting frustrated.

So I had the thought
For quite a while.

About a hopper feeder.

That would help - yes!

I think that's about
The last thing you can do.

For this season to make
That more efficient.

But the biggest thing is where
Are you gonna find one?

I looked at a couple
Earlier this year,

But they are just too
Expensive, you know.

Yeah.

But there is a guy I know.
He's over by parker's.

And he said he'd lease me
His for 10 grand a month.

I love your idea, rick.
Go for it.

Thanks, buddy. Good luck, rick.

Narrator
The pad behind durt reynolds.

Is set up for the loader to
Feed directly into the prewash.

Rick needs to drop it By 3 feet.

Rick Just a little bit of dirt
Work to get it prepared,

Dig a big section out,
Because that feeder

I want it to sit lower, that'll
Feed right into the prewash.

The whole idea behind
Putting this hopper feeder in.

Is to make things more
Efficient and up the yardage.

So we're really hoping
For at least another

20-yard-an-hour gain
Out of this,

Maybe around 180-200 yards
An hour would be nice.

I hit the water line.

Narrator
Rick has ripped a 20-inch hole.

In the pipe that
Feeds the wash plant.

Rick Damn it! Shut it down!

That's what I call dumb.

Sweet!

Once that feeder's in place, the
Plant's gonna run more even.

Narrator Rick ness takes
Delivery of a $10,000.

Hopper feeder that
Could help him.

Mine an extra $7,200
Worth of gold every week.

Rick I really need to get up
And start mining.

I'd imagine it's gonna take
A few more hours.

To get it set up.

That's not counting the
Break in the water line though.

Narrator
But durt reynolds is shut down.

Till they repair the
Water supply rick broke.

Rick I'm pissed at
Myself right now that I hit it.

Just too much of A hurry.

Narrator Four hours later,
The machine they need arrives.

I woke bart up...
He's my night-shift guy...

Because I knew he
Could get in contact.

With a guy who had
That fuser machine.

He's a good guy to have around.

I'm glad rick did this
And not one of us.

Narrator First, they remove
The damaged section of the pipe.

To fuse the pipes
Together, both ends.

Needs to be perfectly aligned.

Man on radio
It's not gonna work.

Stick the whole up.

I thought you knew
What you were doing.

Rick Four guys standing
Around like idiots.

Ryan They say
The definition of madness.

Is doing the same thing
Over and over again.

And expecting
A different result.

I'm just wondering if we take
That hump that we moved over,

Put it straight,
If we'd get enough.

Rick There should be
Plenty right there.

Narrator
Rick attempts to align the pipe.

By lifting it
Further up the hill.

Whoa.
Now we're getting somewhere!

With the water supply fixed,

Rick can bring in his
New hopper feeder.

You ready, rick?

Let's give her hell. All right.

Narrator They need to align
The 15-ton hopper feeder.

So the conveyor sits precisely
Six inches above the prewash.

Go that way Just a hair, rick.

Yeah, that way, rick.

Perfect.

Good job, freddy.

- First shot.
- -hey.

Freddy I love doing
Like this, I do.

I love setting plants up,
Doing different...

Well, I'm glad you
Were here for this.

I'm glad I am here.
I'm glad to be here for this.

Yeah, buddy.

What do you think, guys?

- I think it's awesome, man.
- I want to see it work.

Yeah!

First bucket in the feeder,
See how she works.

Yee-haw!

This hopper feeder is going
To streamline everything.

It's gonna allow us to get.

Maximum yardage
Out of our plant.

Rick's right.
About 180 yards an hour.

Narrator If rick can keep
The plant running.

At 180 yards an hour,
His new hopper feeder.

Will net him an extra
$7,000 every week.

- Nailed it.
- Thanks for all your help.

One shot wonder.
Working perfect.

We're gonna be good.

Hell.

Fine tailings are
Building up like crazy.

It's just a nightmare.

Narrator If brennan can't fix
The tailings problem.

At big red, Parker risks losing.

Tens of thousands of dollars.

Parker
I don't give much slack to guys.

That want more responsibility.

You need to know
What comes with that.

And that means me having pretty
Damn high expectations of them.

Brennan As you can see,
Our fine tailings.

Just won't stop building up.

So my plan is to cut a hole
Through this road.

And send a moat in
To that end of the cut.

Narrator
The tailings pond is full.

Brennan plans to create
An opening in the berm,

Allowing water and fine tailings
To flow out into lower ground.

I just hope that parker sees
That I took on a challenge.

To get it done
And it's gonna work.

The reason why I asked
For more responsibility.

Is to prove that I can do it.

This is gonna get
Us one step closer.

To our 6,000-ounce goal
That we set.

What the.

Smoke coming out of the pump.

Mitch, mitch, got a copy?

I think the pump's on fire, man.

You better get Down there quick.

Hey, shut it off!

Let's get out of the way.
Turn the key off.

Whoo.

At least we caught it before
It did completely blow up.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

Brennan She was just
Spitting everywhere.

We just got to see exactly
What's causing this.

What'd you do?

Mitch Brennan definitely saved
The pump today.

If it would have kept running,

It would have burnt
To the ground.

What happened?

Started rolling coal,
So they shut it down.

It was overheating.

The exhaust stacks vibrated
And rolled over this way.

So then it was just with
The intake being right here,

It just sucked right back in.

So that will definitely do it.

Can we just light everything
On fire and walk away?

I think it was trying
To do that on its own.

First thing we need to do is
Get that exhaust straight up.

Get it back Where it belongs.

I think as long as this thing
Will fire back up, it'll run.

That's why we love it!

Brennan Dude.

It's a good thing that brennan
Caught that pump when he did.

Those are the little things
That when you catch in time,

It's not too big of a deal.

But if he wouldn't have
Caught that,

It probably would have lost
A lot of time,

A lot of gold.

Fire it up!

Narrator
Brennan has saved the pump.

Now he can get back to
Opening his tailings channel.

When I was younger, I couldn't
work under pressure.

For a second, I'd just
Get way too flustered.

The older I got, the more I
Learned to work under pressure.

And I love it because
It makes me want to.

Go as hard as I can
And do way better.

Whoo yeah!

It looks like it's flowing
Pretty nice right now.

Looks like it should work.

Parker Brennan's had his
Struggles down here.

But now he's dealt with
His fine tailing problems.

And whatnot.

He's definitely stepping up
At a time when we need it.

And doing a good job.

Narrator To keep his dream.

Of a 6,000-ounce
Season goal alive,

Tony beets is resurrecting
His 40-year-old pearson box.

I'm looking forward to
Seeing the pearson box move.

It's almost idiot proof, almost.

Yep!

Yes, we do.

Broken clock is
Right twice a day.

Kevin All right.
We got the water going.

I haven't seen this thing
Run in years.

Let's see what she does.

Y'all ready for this?

Narrator
For the first time in 15 years,

The vintage pearson box is back,
Running 250 yards an hour.

I haven't seen This thing go.

Since I was, like, 10 years old.

It's kind of cool.

Whoo!

Kevin
I think tony is very happy.

To have this Going finally.

Great.

Kevin What was that?

About yea big and,
Like, this skinny?

Yeah, I saw that one drop.

Our issue is that we have
A giant hole in the hopper here.

Well, idiot proof, yes,
Physics proof, no.

Narrator A large rock has
Made a massive dent.

In the rusted base
Of the old hopper.

Yep. Yep. We'll make it happen.

Put a new piece
Of steel in there...

Narrator Two hours later...

Good, that should do it.
Plate is in.

Narrator
Between monica's wash plant,

Dredge one, and now
The pearson box,

Tony's running over 500
Yards of pay dirt an hour.

You know, we kind of
Might need this box.

We're two-thirds
Into our season.

How many tonys
Are around though?

Okay!

Narrator After a hard week
For brennan at big red,

It's time for parker schnabel
To weigh some gold.

So, brennan, you having
Some fine tailings.

Problems down there?

Well, didn't you come
And yell at me this week?

All right, let's
Start with sluicifer.

"S" stands for

Mitch Here we go.

70, 150, 180,

200, 230, 250.

287.65.

Narrator $345,000.

- Nice job!
- Hopefully that keeps up.

If it pays off like that,

We'll be hitting that
6,000 ounces, easy.

- Okay, brennan.
- Get in there.

Narrator
To keep parker on track,

Brennan needs to produce at
Least 70 ounces from big red.

50, 80, 100, 120,

Buck fifty.

You gonna break 200?

It's gonna be close.

199.45.

That's a hell of a week.

Brennan's really been doing
Great with that little plant.

This week, it gives us
A 487-ounce week.

Nice.

Narrator Worth well over
Half a million dollars.

Parker Good job, brennan.

Thank you for putting
In a good, hard week.

When it comes down to it,

You look at what we put
Our effort into.

And we have pretty damn
Good follow-through, really.

Like, when we go into
Something, we go hard.

- Good job, you guys.
- Cheers!

Let's keep that up.
All right, get out of here.

Narrator Parker's now mined.

Close to $4.5 million
Worth of gold.

Brennan You know, a bit
Of a tough week with big red.

Dealing with fine tailings.

And having to go down
And hot seat everything,

But those kind of numbers are.

Gonna keep us on track
For 6,000 ounces.

Parker Yeah, I mean that was
A good week, like,

Definitely a lot
Of gold came in.

If we can keep having
Weeks like that,

We'll have a damn good season.

Karla ann
Once this table is dialed in,

I kind of get a chance
To walk away,

I can go take
A two-minute break.

So I've got everything
I need for this workout.

I've got some scrap
Metal from over there.

I've got some gold concentrate
Right here in my hands.

Keep a little pressure on myself.

And add a little bit of weight.

Get a little, couple
Of squats in there.

Rick alert!

What are you doing?

I needed to take five
To do a little workout.

Is that my gold?

Yeah, I like a challenge.

It shouldn't be a challenge.

To keep it in the tent
Or in the safe.

You have to trust me!

She's out Of her damn mind.

Stay in there!

Narrator
For the first time this season,

Tony's running
Three wash plants.

Dredge one, monica's wash plant,

And the newly restored pearson
Box could just help him catch

Parker and hit his
6,000-ounce goal.

Minnie Pretty good, I think.

Monica Yep. Pearson box,
Dredge, and shaker deck.

Okay, well let's see what
The pearson box is bringing.

- 10...
- there we go.

20, 30, 50 Is a bit better.

61.94.

Narrator $75,000.

10, 20, 30...

50, 65, 70, 85,

91.14.

$110,000.

To stay on track,

Monica's wash plant needs to
Deliver 293 ounces of gold.

100, 160, 190...

210, 220, 230...

231.26.

A hefty $280,000.

But still 60 ounces short
Of what they needed.

Mike Hey, kevin,
On the bright side,

At least you didn't triple
Your number.

One for both y'all.

So, right now, our total is
At 2,814 ounces and a bit,

So we're getting
Closer to halfway.

Narrator But two-thirds of
The way through the season,

They should have 4,000 ounces.

Narrator At quartz creek,

Rick ness and his
Mom's dog, ruby...

Rick You finding gold? Is
That where the gold is?

Are hoping his newly
Leased hopper feeder.

Will increase the production.

Of his wash plant,
Durt reynolds.

What's up, nerds?

- Hey.
- Hey, richard!

- Ready for a gold weigh?
- Yeah.

- Karla, you ready?
- Yeah!

You got that?

Ooh, in a big pan.

Is it from croft And barrow?

Rick You guys don't hang
Around the gold room much,

But this is what
She dries it in.

Big, old specialty
Gold cooking pan.

That I stole From the kitchen.

- Shall we weigh this up?
- Yeah, let's do it.

All right.

Narrator To hit
His 1,000-ounce season goal...

Let's do this.

Rick needs
At least 37 ounces per week.

All right there,
We're over 10...

20, 30, 40.

We're over 50, 60.

Get in there, all of ya.

65.5 ounces.

- That's not too bad.
- Yeah!

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

There's over 75 grand
In that pan right there.

Another 65 ounces in
The right direction.

Narrator
And almost twice what he needs.

To stay on track.

Yeah, our grand total Is 766.87.

$920,000 worth of gold.

- Can't be upset about that.
- No, not at all!

65.5 ounces, let's celebrate it.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1, 2, 3.

All Ready!

Rick
Well, I'm actually pretty happy.

We've got everything in place.

I mean, we've got
A hopper feeder.

In front of our plant now.

And if we just keep
Bullying our way through, man,

We're gonna hit that
Gold, I know we are.

Narrator
On the next "Gold rush"...

Why would you only
Hook one leg up?

Put the other three on.

I'm not sure what's wrong, but
I've got a pretty bad pain.

This is not the area
Where you want to get sick.

Today is a celebration...

I now pronounce you married.
