The only thing we can do is
just try to make as much
money as we can and...

and have a good
war chest built up.
So, you start in Alaska.

After securing
new ground in Alaska,

27-year old Parker Schnabel
is heading back to the Yukon

with his season now resting
on his deepest claim ever,
Mud Mountain.

You know, this season we put
a lot of our eggs in the
Mud Mountain basket

and hopefully there's
tons of gold in there.

Parker has gambled
$4 million on the claim

and the team has already
spent ten weeks tripping
and prepping the site.

Everybody over there,
they should be sluicing in
Mud Mountain when I get back.

So, we'll see what
ends up happening.

The strip cut
is done and

we can get Big Red packed up,
moved over to Mud Mountain.

Just one piece at a time here.

At Indian River,
the moment the crew's been
waiting for is finally here.

Wash plant, Big Red, is ready
to take on Mud Mountain.

And here comes
the trucks, so our timing's
real good here.

Tests showed
Mud Mountain could hold
8,000 ounces of gold

worth $14 million.

If Parker's new cut delivers,

it could be his
biggest payday ever.

But so far...

What I'm seeing here,
looks like *bleep*.

...all the pans
have been poor.

Despite that,
Parker's pushed ahead

determined to mine out
the cut in just one season.

We've moved Big Red
so many times

but this time is different.

We still gotta do a lot
of maintenance on Big Red

once we get it over
to Mud Mountain.

And we want this setup
to be perfect.

It can't just be close.
It's gotta be
right on the money

because we're putting the
best dirt we've ever seen
through this wash plant.

Now, we're out here today,

well, it's kind of like
a symphony of heavy machinery.

You just gotta have
all the right pieces
in the right place.

Otherwise, it's no good.

You know,
down here in the good cut,

we're nearing the bitter end.

Four miles away,
at the Promise Land,

plant boss Tyson Lee is down
to the last of the pay
in the good cut.

When we fire off
Mud Mountain,

hopefully it frees up
some more people but

you never know until
you're into the thick of it.

We are close.

At the air strip,

Mitch's crew load the 50-ton,
21-foot high shaker deck
onto a lowboy.

It looks like it might be
a little bit heavy on the
right side of the trailer here

but we won't know till
we get it leveled out.

To deliver Big Red
to Mud Mountain,

they'll have to haul it down
an untested new road.

We'll just check the chains,
make sure they're tight
and we'll head over there,

get this thing
put back together.

- All right,
see you over there.
- Let's do it.

Houdini himself couldn't have
made that wash plant
disappear that fast.

Let's get this thing
headed over to Mud Mountain.

We're uh...

...heading over to what's
supposed to be the best dirt
we've ever put through it.

So, I'm really excited
to see what it looks like.

That plane's really slant.

See how much
that thing is leaning?

Now, this corner up here,
it's going to really
want to lean.

Don't stop on any
corners which leans.

That thing's really slant.

He's got his hands
full right now.

Oh.

She's leaning.

Go, Stevie, go.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Go. Don't stop.

They got it.
They got the big lean there.

We could've gone
a little bit more
to your driver's side there.

We made it.

And that's gotta be
record time.

Everybody killed it today.

Good job.

They have so much
maintenance to do on the plant

but, man, this is a big moment
for the company.

Let's, uh,
put her together and see
what's in all this dirt.

- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.

After failing
to secure a license
at Indian river,

King of the Klondike,
Tony Beets, is gunning for
a season total of 4500 ounces.

But his success relies
on his only running
wash plant Mike's trommel.

Tony Beets,
do you copy?
Tony Beets?

There is no pay.

Okay, sounds like
a plan. Meet you there.

Can you shut it off, please?

This stuff was
basically pure liquid mud.

Can't sluice like that.

Son, Mike,
has run out of dry pay dirt
from the wall cut again.

Tony has been battling
the soggy cut for weeks.

Each time it floods,
the gold-rich white channel
pay dirt he's chasing

becomes too wet to run,

forcing Tony to deploy
a fleet of excavators

to find a dry patch
further from the plant.

I have no dry dirt
to load trucks with

which kind of*bleep* sucks.

The weather being
so *bleep*,

we keep having to hop
from cut to cut

- Yeah.
-'cause you know,
one get full of *bleep* water,

we gotta go to another one.

Anyways, the excavators,
rattling back and forth
takes *bleep* forever.

So, we could speed that up
a little *bleep* bit.

What's that?

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that should be *bleep*
stronger for anything we're
gonna throw on there.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I see no reason why
that shouldn't *bleep* work.

Sounds good.

Tony built
the dolly to transport
a 10-ton trommel

but it's never been used
for a 78-ton excavator.

The concept:

Balance the excavator
on the dolly.

Secure the bucket
in a rock truck.

Then haul the excavator
with the truck at up to
15 miles an hour.

More than five times
its normal speed.

Righty-o.

Operator,
Ruby Mahoney, brings in
the rock truck.

Let's go.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh.

Do I still
have a tailgate?

At Paradise Hill,

Tony is testing a dolly
to haul excavators
around the claim.

he'll be able to move
the machines
to the pay dirt faster

and keep on the gold.

Daughter, Monica,
brings in an older model
of rock truck

without a tailgate.

Doing way better than
I thought she was gonna.

Tony puts the dolly
straight to work

hauling excavators
around the cut

where they can start digging
dry white channel pay
to feed the trommel.

We've gotta find a way
to squeeze some more gold
out of this puppy.

And that's just gonna be
refining our operation,
learning from our mistakes

and getting better.

Special forces
medic, Fred Lewis,

has invested his life's
savings into a new mining
operation in the Yukon.

But over half way
through this season,

he's only sluiced
for six weeks.

We're averaging
about eight to nine
ounces a week,

which honestly is
nowhere near our goal.

We need to be pulling
ten ounces a week.

So, in order for us to get
to where we need to be,

to our minimum 100 ounce goal,

we're gonna have to
pick it up somehow.

Right now,
we're crawling.

We're gonna transition to a
walk phase soon

but at the end of the season,
we need to be running

and that's just
the name of the game.

That's how gold mining goes.

Can't keep up?
You get left behind.

The pressure
that I feel to make
this happen is immense.

in his second season mining
with Fred is digging out pay.

I've been working for
pretty much 40 days straight.

What keeps me going
for this whole amount of time

is people nowadays are working
just to get by and that's not
what I want for my family.

I can't express how much
that this needs to pan out.

No pun intended.

It's been a long
*bleep* shift.

Fred's son,
Christopher Parker, who
trained as a cavalry scout

trucks pay dirt to the ...

But,
the one thing that motivates
me with all of this

is just *bleep* get money
'cause without money,
we can't do this.

I think morale amongst
everybody is pretty good.

Special forces
sergeant, Rick Douglas,
feeds the plant.

The thrill behind it
is, you work harder and

hopefully it pays off
in the long run.

That's the gold fever
and that's the rush from gold.

And no matter what
gets in our way...

We'll be ready.

Over by the creek,

*bleep*

So many little wonky
parts on this machine.

Fred's wife,
Khara, is cleaning concentrate

from the wash plant's past
week with a gold cube

to recover fine gold
and nuggets.

Today I'm supposed to
get this bucket

completely finished
all the way through this cube.

Um...

Hopefully catch
some gold in there but
it's getting pretty clogged.

And that's not good.
It's clogging this easy.

It's definitely not working
the way it's supposed to.

When a cube gets
clogged, there's nowhere
for gold to settle.

And the gold washes back out
into the river.

That's not good.

Our whole season rests on
this little, frickin',
jinky water pump,

jinky everything,
I, I don't know.

It's just,
it doesn't make sense.
There has to be a better way.

It's losing half our gold.

I remember thinking
it was slow last season
and we had

not even a fraction of
the amount of pay dirt that
we're running this season.

I'm frustrated.
I'm just going to take it.
I'm going to turn it off.

I'm going to go talk to Fred.

because this doesn't work.
There has to be
a different solution.

Fred!

- Can we have a chat?
- Of course we can.

- That gold cube,
it's not going to cut it.

I'm barely putting
anything in it
and it's already clogged.

And it's like,
tubes are falling out,
the water pump's not working,

everything else,
on top of the fact
it's slow as hell.

- We're not doing that.
- The problem is
I spent most of our budget

getting the equipment
that we need besides recovery
because I figured we'd just

limp through the gold cube
for the rest of the season.

But that's what you do
and it doesn't work.
Not everything works that way.

I'm running bare bones
right now.
These guys are buying

their own fuel and food, like,
I'm not even providing
any of that stuff.

See what you can find.
Do the research,
see what you can find,

as far as, some sort of
better piece of equipment
for me to use.

We'll go with the most
cost effective
and we might just have to

bite the bullet and finance
a little bit more.

- It's getting me
so nervous.
- I know.

I just...
God, it makes me sick.

You might not think
it's in the budget,
but we're going to have to

pull it out of somewhere
and you're going to have to
figure it out, like,

that's all we can do.

*bleep*

If we could get a good
recovery system, that would
boost our productivity,

and it's going to give us
a lot more gold at the end.

Fred's headed
to Dawson City on the hunt
for a new gold table.

Uh, right now I'm on my way
to see Joel.

Joel's the gentleman
that fabricated
our wash plant.

He's created a gold room,
based on a recovery device
called the...

It's a very good
recovery system for
this type of gold.

Right now,
I'm worried about losing gold
and that's what we're doing.

We need to up our game
and our recovery.

It's going to save us
an average of 20 hours
every time we clean up.

And we're going to lose
way less gold.

Always working, Joel,
how you doing?

Yeah good, Fred,
how you doing?

I was hoping I could
get a look at that, uh,

gold recovery system
you said you had.

Yeah, it's just over here.
We can go
have a quick look at it

Whoa! This is nice.

The custom-built
gold recovery system
was designed by a local miner

35 years ago.

Vibrating riffles
and hydraulics separate gold
from the concentrate.

Man, I'm going to tell you,
this blows my mind,

at how efficient
this could be.

Yeah,
that self-feeding hopper
makes it easy.

You just, you know,
put four pails of dirt in it
and, almost, walk away.

That is really cool.

It does look pretty expensive.

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot
of work hours in this thing
and, you know,

- nice, brand new seed can.
Fully, you know...
- Yep.

Lights, heat, and it's, uh,
priced accordingly so,
cost figure, at a guess,

- give or take a few.
- Yep.

- It'll be about 30 k.
- Okay, all right.
Well, I like what I've seen,

but, um, my budget's not huge,
um, so that may be something
we need to talk about.

I don't know if, maybe,
we could work a deal out on
some, kind of,

a royalty or a payment.

I don't know how you work,
uh...

Yeah, I mean, possibly.
I'm open to it.
It would have to...

- be something
we'd have to discuss.
- Okay.

If Fred can
land a deal, he'll need to
return to Dawson City

with a trailer to collect
the gold room.

I think the most
important thing now is just
to put my head together

on the budget
and then we can go from there.

- Sounds good man.
- Sweet,
really appreciate your time.

- Pleasure doing business
with you.
- Yeah, I really do too.

Hopefully get back
to work.

Now,
the million dollar question.

Is there enough gold
in this ground to make
this cut worthwhile?

On Indian River,
Parker's foreman, Mitch,
and the rest of the crew

are eager to start
chewing through pay dirt
at Mud Mountain.

Well, we are ready to,
finally, do this.
We got Big Red setup here.

Here we go!

This is the first dirt from
Mud Mountain going through
Big Red.

Yeah, I don't know,
if you're the first-year guy
being tasked with

operating Big Red at, uh,
with such high stakes
at Mud Mountain here,

it's definitely stressful.

Rookie miner,
Justin Fraser,

feeds the plant
for the first time
at Mud Mountain.

It's still running and we're
making it work and, uh,
so far so good.

We just got to keep it up.

It's super hectic
and everybody is
feeling the pressure.

Supposed to be
a really rich cut so,
hopefully,

it also lives up to
that expectation.

It's a real good feeling.
It's all hands on deck here.

You just got to act so fast
because Parker's
supposed to be back today.

It's been raining lots so,
the road got super slick
and gross and pot-holey

It definitely slows you down.

We're going in to Fall and,
uh, conditions are getting
pretty brutal.

That, along with Mud Mountain,
and hauling out muddy pay
all over the place.

*bleep* sake's,*bleep* mud.

Hey, Mitch, got a copy?

Yeah, man, what's going on?

Running some
pretty sloppy material
right now and I'm struggling

trying to get this pay
through the plant.

Yeah, man, I know,
it's nasty down here.

We're getting clogged up,
it's making a mess everywhere.

- Well just hang tight.
Give me a minute.
- Copy that, thanks.

Shut it down.

Shut it down.

On Indian River,
Mud Mountain is fighting back.

And Big Red is shut down.

Following heavy rainfall,
mud is now sloughing down

the 60-foot high walls
of the cut,

making the pay dirt
on the floor, wet.

Parker is due to return
any day.

Mitch moves fast
to solve the problem,
with operator, Shane Gallup.

We've got to fix the problem
of the mud oozing out
into the cut

and I think the only way
to fix this issue is,
dig some bedrock,

get the pay off the sides,

- and then we'll make
a nice burn.
- Yeah.

We'll catch that mud
and then that way
as we're digging

over on that side of it,
it's just going to be nice,
clean and dry.

Then this cut'll
actually calm down

- and be a lot easier--
- You can actually move forward

- instead of
two steps backwards.
- Yeah.

Exactly

The sooner we get
a wall in here,
contain this mud away from

the center of the cut,
the better off
we're going to be.

To stop mud
seeping into the cut,
Mitch and Shane will use

two 480 excavators
to shift the pay from
the muddy edges.

Then, build a barrier
to protect the cut
from further sloughing.

Hello, Mitch?

Yeah, roger that.

So, lots of things
stacked against us here.

And when it rains, well,
all that mud makes a mess.

And that's what we're
dealing with right now.

Just trying to get
a handle on it.

- Ooh.

Yeah, we got a problem here.

- Right now,
the bucket should be lowering.
-*bleep*

And it's not.

Come on, baby.

What that tells me is
we have an issue with
our accumulator.

When these go flat,
machine can act really erratic
because it doesn't have

a nice, smooth, constant,
uh, pressure.

So, we're going to grab
an accumulator and, uh,
swap it out on this thing

and see if it fixes
it's problem here.

Mitch's only hope
of drying out the cut,

and getting Big Red running
before Parker returns,

rides on finding
a replacement part
in the boneyard.

If this accumulator
fixes our problem,
this is going to be great.

But, if it doesn't fix
our problem,

we're going to have to
dive in deeper.

So, what I've got here
is the accumulator

and this helps keep
your hydraulics stabilized.

So, we're going to
spin this guy off here

and, uh, we're going to
take it over to
the other machine,

change it out,
to get us back going here.

Surprising the difference
that such a small piece
can make.

And something we've learned
over the years,
if this isn't right, uh, well

you're going to wish it was.

Here we go.

Really hoping this fixes
all of our problems here.

We will find out.

That's more like it!

We got it.

You know, Mud Mountain's
been a struggle from the start

and I am, uh, probably,
more mentally drained
than I am physically here,

just trying to keep the train
on the tracks.

And we're done here.

We've taken the bedrock here,
we've built this berm

and the whole length of this,
it's holding all this
mud back,

which is working really well.

Out here, the cut,
it's nice and mud free.

So, probably should have been
done a lot sooner.

But better late than never.

Mitch has that Berm
all finished up which means
trucks are hauling up

much drier material here
for us to sluice.

Definitely makes things easier
up here at Big Red.

What's happening,
man?

Glad you're back.

- This looks good.
- We've been busy, man.

Looks like that.

Well, we were able
to finish the airstrip
while you were away.

So, that's all done.

We got some
Mud Mountain pay dirt

- going through Big Red.
- Good.

All right, well, I mean,
I'm here, is there anything
I can do to help out?

Well, right now we're supposed
to have our night shift here
and we have no operator so,

I was going to run back
to camp and see if they
slept in or where they're at.

All right, I can
hop in until they show up.

Man, if you can keep
the plant running,
that would be awesome.

No worries, um,
hope they didn't pull
a runner.

- Good to see you.
- You too.

Here we go.

It feels good to be back,
you know, I need to be
making money because

most of our costs this year
are in Mud Mountain

and we're going to find out
if she pays off.

- How you been?
- Good, man, good.

Fred Lewis
has returned to Dawson City

with local operator,
Buzz Legault,

to collect a custom-built
gold room,

which he's agreed to rent
for $10,000.

Can open her up
and see what we're looking at.

Yeah,
this is that new car smell.

Heck yeah,
it's ready to roll.

All right, let's get her done.

Sweet,
let's get her done.

All right, it's up.

All right, Buzz,
if I say stop,
stop immediately please.

All right, moving.

Here we go.

Hold it up.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Crossing under
the wires now. You're good.

If you could come
three inches, three inches.

Right there.

Right there.

That's it.

It's a little
ass heavy.

It's freaking me out too.

That's not good.

*bleep*

This thing weighs so much,
as it pushed down

it's lifting up
our trailer hitch.

Fred Lewis
is preparing to transport
a three and a half ton,

custom built gold room
to California Creek.

Looking at this trailer hitch,
there's almost no weight
on it.

I can lift it
with two fingers,
I can lift the entire trailer

so, there's
a severe imbalance.

Enough that if we're driving
and this latch
decides not to work,

poof, gold room's gone
and, uh, if we lose
the gold room

we're not getting it back,
so...

We just got to figure out how
we're going to make sure
it's secure.

- He's had an idea.
- What you got?

It's a good idea.

To balance
the container, Fred and Joel
remove the headache rack,

a frame between the cab
and the trailer.

Okay, let it come down.

Whoa!

Okay, you're up.

Okay, let me know
when to stop.

I think we're good,
man.

It's definitely got
a tongue weight.

Well, it's up to you guys.
Chain it down and I'll leave
you guys to that because--

- Yep, you got it.
Thanks, Joel.
- No worries.

- Thanks, bud.
- We'll be talking soon,
eh?

- Yeah, we'll see you soon.
- Talk to you later.

Chain, check. Chain, check.
Chain, check.
And chain, check.

Check.

If this thing falls off
or if anything
it's not because

we didn't put enough
chains on it.

You ready?

- I'm ready.
- All right, let's do this.

- Let's rock this *bleep*.
- I'm gonna pucker
the whole time.

Fred and Buzz,

must now cross the Yukon River

and drive the finely

calibrated gold room

over 40 miles up
the top of the world highway

to California Creek.

I don't like getting on
this little boat

with this big truck.

Stay steady now.

I'm excited
to set this thing up though,
man, because

it's gonna up
our recovery rate
by probably 30

or 40 percent.

So the gold room's essential
for our success.

Oh, no.

Man, this thing has shifted.

We're right here on the edge
if this thing shifts

any more and it comes off

the weight would be balanced
really horribly
and this thing could tip.

So it's shifted
about that much.

We'll just tighten
this one up

and keep on going, man.

And we're almost there.

That's right.

Tighten this chain
to make sure
it's as tight as it can be.

So hopefully,
it won't shift any more
'cause if

it falls off *bleep*.

So now I guess
we're going slower.

Buzz, this truck sounds
like a train.

It sounds like
it's about to explode.

I'm nervous, man.

Let's hope it doesn't
bounce off the hitch.

Well, the next part
is that steep downhill.

Once off
the highway

they have to navigate
a 2.5 mile

dirt trail down to the plain.

You sure it's gonna stay
on that trailer, right?

Oh, it's gonna stay
on the trailer.

- We just--
- Not sure this

trailer's gonna stay
on the track.

Ugh.

Holy *bleep*.

*bleep* this road.

Thank God, we made it.

Made it through
the hardest part.

Ah, whew.

Okay, I'm gonna breathe now.

- Whew.
- Never mind.

You've got balls, man.

But this fantastic.
Yeah, we're gonna get

this thing probably tonight.

I'll get set up on my shift.

It'll be perfect, dude.
I think that

we're not going to
be losing gold for one,

it's gonna break
our clean up time
from 22 hours to about 2.

- Yeah.
- So that's huge.

And, uh,

it's on now.

If there's gold here
it's going

though this
it's gonna be caught.

- Yeah.

One more step.

Good job, dude.

At Paradise Hill,

Tony Beets is running
gold rich

white channel pay

through his only working
wash plant.

On six.

I don't know
they never told me
why it's on six.

The feeder
is running 200 yards of pay
an hour.

To stay on target

Tony needs at least 350.

Hey, Dad.

Um...

Get more pay to the plant.

You gotta a bit
of a bottleneck right there
when they come up the hill.

Maybe put
another road in?

Well you have a hillside
right next to it.

You can make a road right down
on that side.

So they can come up that one,

dump, and then drive
right down the other one.

They don't have to do
no hard turns.

Faster the trucks get here

the faster they can put
the breaker down.

Sounds like a plan.

If I, uh, fix
this bottleneck here

this will solve our problem
with a trucks not being able
to pass.

A bottleneck
in the road is slowing down

Tony's trucks.

Preventing them
from delivering pay
to the plant quickly.

And forcing the crew

to run the plant

at a slower speed.

Mike's solution?

A new road

and a one way system.

So by making two roads

one where they always go up
and one where they always
go down.

Should have a nice road
and settle the bottleneck.

So hopefully that'll help

get more and more pay
to the plant so we can

start sluicing
at a proper speed.

Beautiful.

The more we turn up the feeder
the more yardage

we're gonna run through
the trommel.

And that at the end of the day

equals more gold in the box.

So let's turn
the *bleep* plant up.

There we go up to
a *bleep* ten.

What do you think, Chris?

On Indian River,

Mitch has shut down
Big Red

after its first week running

at Mud Mountain.

We got a little bit
of gold here.

- Real chunky.
- Did you?

That's looking
pretty good, man.

It's doing its job.

There is some gold in it.

I'd say we clean it,
see what we got.

Yeah, for sure.

- Let's get her washed in
and we'll fire it back up.
- Yep.

- All righty, sounds like
a plan, man.
- Good.

- This is it.
- Oh, this looks
pretty good.

- Right?
- This is better
when I thought that

we're gonna get
some janky rickety thing.

- Come on, babe.
- Babe, it's you.

Fred shows Khara
their new gold room.

The system
that will save them time

and increase
their gold recovery.

So I just dump it in there.

- Yep.
- Full on.

Full on dump her.

Concentrate from
the plant is fed
into the hopper.

A vibrating screen
that separates out
waste material.

Then the concentrate flows
over hydraulic riffles

with a pulsating base.

Which traps the gold.

Now literally all you do,

stand here,
turn on the centrifuge,

watch those red bars.

All right, so that's
pretty much it.

So you got it?

Why don't you go ahead and run
the rest of that material.

Yeah.

Steady feed.

Do what you were taught
and you're good to go.

Run the rest of that.

All right.

Love you.

I'm really excited
about the new machine.

I think Fred did
an awesome job getting it.

This is definitely
what we needed.

It's an entire shift
I'm gonna save
every single day.

I couldn't be
more thrilled about it.

All right, guys.
This is a big week.

We had Khara in the gold room
this week.

So we'll probably have
a little bit

more gold than last time.

It looks good.

Looks really good.

You guys ready
for some weights?

- Oh yeah.
- Yeah.

To reach
his season goal of 100 ounces,

Fred needs 10 ounces a week.

One,

two, three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine,

ten,

- Oh.
- eleven.

11.48.

- All right.
- Holy *bleep*

Worth over $20,000

almost double

their entire season total
last year.

Khar, I saw
a nuggie in there.

Yeah, that's, that...

- Yeah. I heard it.
- That cool clunk
that hit there.

Like right off
the bat.

Oh yeah. Look at that.

It's 11.48.

So we're getting there.

We're getting there.

We're getting gold
consistently now.

We're dialing
in our operation.

We're getting more efficient
as a team.

So I think our gold count's

gonna keep going up.

- All right, guys.
- We should put
this back in there.

You came, you saw gold,
now get back to work.

Good job team.

Yep.

After we cleared up
that bottleneck

Mike pointed out.

Get the trucks *bleep* zoom,
zoom, zoom, zooming.

Yep.

And then
you noticed

that the excavators
take too long to go from

crack to cut to cut to crack.

Oh, we've got to charge

the dolly out.

Yeah.

- That's fun.
- That was fun.

How about we weigh
all that gold up

because I want to see
what you did.

To reach
his season goal

of 4,500 ounces.

Tony needs

290 ounces a week.

The King of the Klondike

is hoping the white channel

pay hot streak continues.

Let's,
let's do this thing.

60, 80,

100,

150, 160,

200, 240, 250,

260,

280,

300,

313.70.

Worth over $560,000

it's their highest
weekly total so far
this season.

*bleep* yeah.

Maybe we can reach
our season

- total yet.

Yeah.

Yay.

- What up, what up?

- Hey, Mitch.
- Howdy.

- Hey, man.
- How's it going?

Welcome back, young man.

At Scribner Creek,

it's time to

find out if Mud Mountain

has finally delivered.

But first,

the final gold
from the good cut
on the promised land.

You've been
on sluicing
for all week then.

- Yes, sir.
- This is it.

T-bird, you ready?

Here we go,
last of the good cut

hopefully, it paid off.

20, 40, 80, 120,

150, 180, 200,

- Oh, yeah.
- 260. Yeah, keep her coming.

300,

310,

317.4.

Very nice.

Worth $570,000.

I should leave again.

It's a good run.

That's a really
good run, yeah,

Next up,

the first Mud Mountain gold.

You look at all
the troubles we've had

to get to this point, I mean,

all the hours we put
on the dozers.

Everything it took
to get all that mud moved.

We got Big Red over there
set up.

Finally got some pay gravels
through it.

Was there any gold in it?

Well, here you go
want to count it?

Yeah, what do we got here?

Parker is hoping

that Mud Mountain will deliver
10 ounces per hour
of run time.

Five times, what he usually

gets from his other
Indian River cuts.

All right.

40,

- 60,
- It wasn't very full.

I don't like your angle
that you're already at.

- Uh-oh.
- Yeah.

100,

120,

160,

165.45.

Worth almost

$300,000.

Well that's not bad actually
considering how much
bull*bleep* we ran.

Yeah,
I mean that's over

2 ounces an hour for the week.

But, I mean,
is it five times better?

We won't know
until we get into the heart

of it a little bit.

I mean, for an initial run?

Not bad if we didn't have
to move 60 feet

of mud, it'd be great.

- You know, but...
- It's not a bad
first clean up then.

So hopefully next week
it's a little bit better.

Yeah.

Let's hope so.

But actually we had

482 ounces for the week.

- That's not bad at all.
- No.

And for
our season total now
it's 4,251.

So we're getting there,
obviously,

behind last season, but

let's not worry
about last season.

Let's worry
about this season, and...

Yeah.

...just get what we can get.

That's a lot of gold
we're gonna have to find

- in a short period of time.
- Yeah.

Well, it should be
at the mountain.

According to jewelry reports,
there should be a ton of gold
in there.

Literally, a ton.

- Yeah?

We're all retiring after

- this cut.
- Yeah.

All right, well...

Okay.

We'll do it all again.

Well done, man.

T-Dog?

Go have some dinner.

- What's up, Dozer?
- Oh, yeah.

Thanks Doumitt.
See you, Parker.

- See you guys.
- Later.
