"On this Gold Rush" "What would grandpa say if he saw this, huh?" "He'd be pretty proud of you, kid." "Parker:" "Running a new plant is always a little stressful." "How come there's no fuckin' water?" "We need to start producing some gold." "We've got work to do." "We're gettin' our ass kicked pretty good up here." "Everybody's reputation's on the line on this hill." "Todd:" "This is real fuel we're burning." "These are real salaries we gotta pay." "Where is it?" "Where is the gold?" "I don't know." "Hammer time." "Turin:" "This is your call, Todd." "Whew." "Monica:" "So what, it's a Flying Dutchman now?" "This is spectacularly fucked up." "I don't know what Tony was thinking." "No one can push your buttons like family can." "We're working 12-plus hour days." "And the bummer part of it all is we're not getting gold." "Narrator:" "At the High Bar mine, Kevin Hiatt feeds pay into the plant." "I have mouths back home to feed." "I have a pregnant wife." "And right now, there's no paycheck waiting for me." "Narrator:" "Todd Hoffman has moved his entire mining operation from the Klondike, 2,000 miles south to the Blue Mountains of Oregon." "For over 100 years, people have tried and failed to mine the legendary nuggets at the High Bar." "Last year, the Hoffman crew's scout revealed game-changing gold nuggets." "Look at that one." "That's one of the best nuggets I've ever seen." "Todd was inspired to go for his highest ever season goal." "I want 5,000 ounces." "I wanna see a miracle on this mountain." "Narrator:" "But their first week produced a disappointing 38 ounces." "Just 15% of what they need each week to hit Todd's goal." "We're getting our ass kicked pretty good up here." "This isn't turning out like I dreamed." "This isn't, you know, the bill of goods that we were sold up here." "This is real fuel we're burning." "These are real salaries we gotta pay." "Hopefully this thing can turn around." "But right now, it's not going good." "Narrator:" "Claim owners William and Jarrod Wirth are also feeling the pressure." "We know this place." "We know there's good gold here." "But it comes in strings of good days and bad days." "And we got off to a pretty bad start." "And the whole Hoffman crew right now is really discouraged." "Narrator:" "With the stakes so high, down in the gold shack, Jack Hoffman is doing an early cleanup after 3 more days of running." "Oh, my gosh." "After running 4,500 yards, I would expect a whole lot more." "That's not worth running." "I can do that in my backyard." "Narrator:" "To stay on target, they need this cleanup to be around 125 ounces." "What do you got?" "12.35 Ohh." "Narrator:" "Worth less than $15,000." "12.35." "Big deal, -[ groans ]" "I mean," "To do a cleanup for 12.35, it's, it's hardly worth doing." "I mean, seriously, that is terrible." "So much for 5,000 ounces, guys." "We'll be damn lucky if we can pull out 1,000 this year." "Guys, this ain't even covering our fuel." "It'd be nice if we could get the, if we could get the cameras outta here." "You and you, out." "Get out." "Out, out, out." "Shut the door." "So here's the deal." "Last year we tested." "We were at $20 plus a yard." "And here we are at 4 bucks a yard." "I am pissed off." "We must have hit a couple good spots when we were prospecting." "And now we've missed 'em." "I don't get it." "Where is it?" "Where is the gold?" "I don't know." "How 'bout the Wirth boys?" "They got any idea?" "They've mined it." "Yeah, but they just mined this one little section up here." "And maybe that's where all the gold was." "I don't know." "Well, let's get Freddy." "We've still got a lot of ground that's untested." "Let's get him out there, get his nose to the ground, find that gold." "I'm gonna go talk to William and Jarrod." "How's it goin'?" "Well, not good, man." "We got another bad cleanup." "It's really bad." "To be honest with you, I'm feelin' sick inside." "We need to get that gold." "I'm losin' money." "And this ain't going like we were hoping." "You're not gettin' gold, we're not gettin' gold." "Bottom line." "Right." "I mean, I can't stress enough." "When we were up here mining," "You know, those results that we had were real." "Well, here's the deal though." "I can't sit here and lose my ass all summer." "We're in the same boat, man." "If you're not making money, we're not making money." "We're both losing our asses." "I'm not gonna throw in the towel yet, but at some point." "We gotta see some frickin' gold, you know?" "[ motor cranking, finally starts ]" "Let's go dredging again." "She's what makes the money." "Narrator:" "At Eureka Creek,Tony Beets is testing son Kevin by putting him in charge this season." "It feels good to be back here." "Oh, this is nice." "Narrator:" "Kevin pulled in a massive 258 ounce cleanup last week, worth $310,000." "And Tony finally paid off his million-dollar dredge." "Gonna drop my bucket line down to about level." "And off we go." "All profits will now go towards a second dredge." "Not too bad." "What's up?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I'd complain, but you wouldn't listen." "Narrator:" "Tony's plan..." "level out the old dredge tailings to build a 1,500-foot landing strip, in the next 2 days." "Narrator:" "Tony pulls Kevin off the dredge and Monica away from stripping overburden." "You know, you think you're doing everything okay and then he comes in and decides to change the plan on you." "It's just, you know, a pain in the ass." "It's frustrating is what it is." "Having to sit here and do these random jobs when there's other things I'd rather be doing." "There's a lot of things I'd wanna go fuckin' do." "Pretty much anything but this." "Narrator:" "Rather than haul the logs away, Tony orders the rock trucks to dump logs straight into the pond." "Tony is like a natural disaster." "You don't tell a hurricane to fuck off." "You just weather it." "Then once it's done, you get back to life as normal." "By the time Jason starts the night shift Tony's logs have drifted in front of the dredge." "Jason:" "Starting to get a little bit darker here." "And, uh, we got a lot of logs here floating' out in front of us." "You know, we gotta really pay attention to whether or not we're catching logs instead of rocks." "We got a big mess out there on the pond right now, and it's something we've really gotta keep on top of." "Oh, it's coming." "There it goes." "That's the kinda shit we gotta watch out for, eh?" "Oh, yeah." "That's what plugs up the trommel and stuff when it gets wedged in there." "Fuck." "Seems to be quite a pain in the ass here tonight." "More sticks coming up here." "[ grinding noise ]" "Fuck." "Shut it down." "Oh, man." "Our season starts now!" "Narrator:" "At Scribner Creek, Parker's new wash plant is running pay dirt for the first time." "The $600,000 one-of-a-kind is Parker's biggest ever investment in his future and his vision of the perfect plant." "With it, he plans to mine 3000 ounces this season." "Parker:" "This plant's a big investment for us." "You know, we've sunk all our savings into it." "Uh, it should be a real good, efficient machine and should help us, uh, should help us catch a lot more gold." "That side has a lot more water, huh?" "Look at all that water." "I know, fuck." "Parker:" "There's one big, big, big problem." "That's just too much water right now." "She has no water here, and we've got tons of water up here." "Houston, we have a problem." "Narrator:" "Just 5 minutes in, water is bursting over the sluice runs, taking gold with it." "Parker:" "Probably have him shut it down, huh?" "Yeah." "Shut it down." "Tyson!" "[ power stops ]" "This is a little depressing." "Gettin' antsy?" "I'm gettin' not antsy." "I'm gettin' scared." "I care about the gold." "I care if we're losin' it." "You know, everything looked great on this plant when it pulled into the yard, but you never know till you start runnin' it." "Really, that whole diverter system on each side is fucked." "How much can we tune where the water goes?" "We can't." "I think that's back to the drawing boards." "Yeah." "We've sunk a mountain of money into this wash plant and, You know, we should be able to crank it up and just start runnin' dirt." "So I'm not real happy about having to, uh, shut down and work on it first thing." "I hope that this is the only problem and not the first of many." "Mitch:" "Not exactly what you wanna have to do, you know, is start welding parts on your brand-new wash plant." "We're just gonna try and divide the top end of our sluice box here to try and..." "Uh, even out our water flow a little bit." "Narrator:" "Every minute, 3,300 gallons of water and gold-rich material pass through the plant into two diverter boxes." "The diverters should distribute the material evenly into the sluice runs below." "But the water is flowing down so fast, it's building up in the corner of the sluice runs." "causing the diverter box above to overflow." "Mitch's plan...add partition plates at the start of each sluice run to even out the flow." "Just, uh, getting these plates welded in." "So what's gonna happen is as the water's coming out of diversion shoots," "It'll hit this and then get redirected down the sluice run instead of it all sliding over to this far side." "We're also adding a piece of old conveyor belt here that's just gonna hopefully help, uh, any material that's splashing around." "Stay inside the sluice runs instead of ending up on the ground." "You wanna latch this...diverter?" "Well, let's turn the water on." "See how this works." "Parker:" "Fire it up!" "Firin' it up." "[ motor ramps up ]" "Here it comes." "Parker:" "I thought this would be a great design, but I'm not real impressed with it." "Mitch:" "That's much better." "We've got a nice, even distribution of our water now." "Looks 100 times better." "Well, we opened it up quite a bit." "Getting this backboard on here should definitely help keep it inside the runs." "Right on." "Should we have Tyson throw some dirt at it?" "Yeah." "[whirring ]" "This thing got built in the city." "They hauled it out here to the country and.." "Yeah." "We had to redneck it up a bit." "[ laughing ]" "Time to get some gold." "All the shit that they're dumping has trees in it." "Trees plus dredge is not a good fuckin' combination...clearly." "Narrator:" "At Eureka Creek, the dredge is shut down." "In his guerrilla attempt to build a runway, Tony Beets has dumped logs into the sluice pond that are clogging up the bucket line." "There's a 6-foot chunk just lined up right now." "Hey, wanna gimme a hand with this one?" "[grunting ]" "Honestly, I don't know what Tony was thinking." "I do know it fucks me up though." "Can't fuckin' dredge with that." "Narrator:" "As the new Dredge Master, Kevin should be mining." "But Tony's mistake has cost him 7 hours running." "And we're back to dredging." "Narrator:" "But the pond is still full of debris." "Uh, Tony has yet to come to a realization..." "That if he gives us a job, we'll do the job." "But he just likes to meddle too much." "[ thud, banging noises ]" "We got some logs jammed in there." "I'm gonna start losing' my cool here real quick." "[ grinding, squeaking, clattering ]" "Fuckin bucket line keeps slipping back." "Ah, fuck." "Shut her off." "I wonder, did it fuckin' come off entirely." "It is way over that spool there." "This is, uh, spectacularly fucked up." "Narrator:" "The bucket line is normally held in place by a large spool." "But a log that got caught under the line has forced it off." "She's jammed in real good from the looks of it." "She's bent pretty fuckin' good." "I'm gonna call on my professional, Mike." "Mike, do you copy?" "Yeah." "We got some great news for ya." "It involves the bucket line." "Shit." "Okay." "So just gonna walk over there." "Pop it back on." "Tell me when you want me to back it off." "Yeah, I'll let you know." "[ thud ]" "Narrator:" "The bucket line weighs 24 tons." "If one of the pins in the chain breaks," "It could put the dredge out of action for days," "Pushing Kevin's season even further behind." "(banging)" "Whoa!" "[ clicks ]" "Kevin:" "He's caught." "What's he caught up on?" "Kev, drop your bucket ladder." "[ winch whirring ]" "I don't like this." "[ THUD !" "]" "Narrator:" "Kevin has called Tony down to see the log problem for himself." "Okay, don't move anything." "Steady now!" "(squeal, bang)" "There you go." "Back in action." "Ladies and gentlemen." "We are dredging once again." "Okay." "Narrator:" "Tony's meddling and makeshift runway has cost Kevin a shift and a half." "That's around $20,000 in lost gold." "Trees." "Yeah." "With all those big sticks, we'd be watching the bucket line..." "About every 5 minutes have to stop and move something." "Yeah." "He realized he fucked up." "So one of these years, maybe it'll click for him that if he backs off," "Stops meddling in everything we try to do," "Then he can, you know, just stay home on the couch." "But until then, he's probably gonna be flying in, flying out," "Raising hell, then leaving." "257 yards an hour." "I mean, it's just massive." "The only thing missing is gold." "Narrator:" "Parker's efficient new wash plant" "Runs dirt twice as fast as last season." "And he's cut back on crew." "So everyone's in the boundary cut, trying to keep it fed." "Even his new girlfriend, Australian veterinary nurse Ashley Youle is pitching in and hauling pay." "How's Ashley doin'?" "Good." "Super trucker.'" "'Cause they've got such a small team, um," "Parker came and asked me to see if I can help out and drive a truck." "She's gonna hate my guts by the end of this." "Hey, babe, I've got real...somethin' real fun, for you to do...haul truck." "Oh, you wanna come to the Yukon for an adventure?" "Here." "Do this 800 times." "A week." "Ha ha." "Parker doesn't give me any slack being his girlfriend." "When we're working, he just treats me like another crew member." "I like it that way." "We've...we've got fuckin' work to do." "Ha ha ha." "Parker:" "I was a little worried about her being up here, just because" "I'm a grumpy asshole." "And, uh," "I did make the mistake of telling her I generally don't like truck drivers." "And I was like, "Oh, you'll love truck driving."" "Oh, why'd you and Ashley get married?" "Oh, she's just such a good rock truck driver." "Gotta put a ring on that." "I'm loving it." "Hi." "Howdy." "How's it going?" "Alright." "How's your.." "Afternoon, your wonderful afternoon in a rock truck?" "Great." "Been great." "No, I've actually been really enjoying it." "Narrator:" "Parker heads over to check on his custom-designed wash plant." "Before the end of its second shift." "How come there's no fuckin' water?" "I have no idea." "Once again, there's a major problem." "We have hardly any water." "Oh, for fuck's sake." "Maybe it sucked somethin' up, um, when we fired it up." "But, yeah" "What's the deal here?" "I think we need to go pull the suction out." "Let's run down there and try to unbolt the hose, pull it off." "Hopefully it's an easy fix." "Think we found the problem." "Oh yeah." "They're in there pretty good." "Narrator:" "Rocks are blocking the pump." "So Mitch checks the other end of the suction hose." "You're free from your cage!" "Look." "The foot of the cage is over there." "That's the problem." "Narrator:" "The protective cage which filters out rocks from the pond has broken free from the hose." "You know, the cage was made outta old scrap that we had... kickin' around in the yard." "Narrator:" "Jordan welds the cage back on." "And Parker attempts to tighten the screw fitting at the end of the hose." "It's goin' a little bit." "Oh, yeah!" "Look at that." "Money." "[ laughter ]" "Yeah, Parker'd be super good at the fair where they've got the two dudes and the logs." "Log rolling..." "And you run on 'em." "Log rolling." "Yeah." "Somebody with some weight should do this." "I don't know why you're lookin' at me." "I'm on a diet." "[ laughs ] [ thunder rumbles ]" "We're good?" "Yeah." "Ready to try this again?" "Yeah." "We need to put some dirt in here." "Fire in the hole!" "There's five or six hundred thousand dollars in this wash plant, so." "We need to start producing some gold." "Hammer time." "[ hammering ]" "Narrator:" "After a disappointing 12-ounce cleanup" "Todd Hoffman is desperate to find good gold at High Bar." "He's sent Freddy Dodge to prospect the outer reaches of the claim." "We're just staking it in areas where we think has some potential." "So we'll punch some holes in it and see what lives underneath it." "You know, if anywhere where we're standing here is gonna have decent gold..." "That's got some...potential." "We aren't supposed to be prospecting." "We're supposed to be mining right now." "You always have to do some prospecting." "But uh, the amount of gold we've been getting at the plant isn't cutting it." "So basically it's turned us from miners into prospectors." "Over there." "Yeah, those are dredge tailings." "Question is, did they get all the gold?" "Narrator:" "Fifteen miles east, Dave's investigating a radical backup plan." "He's brought Todd to check out a separate claim called the Buckland." "Owned by the Wirth brothers' uncle, Marvin." "Let's give it a shot." "Let's just see what happens." "It's not...it's not gonna hurt us anything to go talk to this guy." "Marvin." "How ya doin' man." "Good." "So, uh,you got this claim down here that's a possibility." "And that's the reason why we're here, so..." "Yeah." "Are you interested in leasing it?" "Yeah." "A lease isn't out of the question." "Okay." "I mean, I see the dredge tailings." "It's been dredged." "Yeah, and they got some decent gold out of it." "The dredge ran basically the full length of this spot, right up till here, but." "No one's been in here, seriously, since the 20's." "How do we know they didn't just pick it clean?" "I mean, these old guys were pretty good." "I guess, to put it in a nutshell, Todd, um, the dredge didn't make it to the bottom." "I mean, the boulders are this tall down there." "Wait a minute, what do you mean, this tall?" "I mean, they're that tall or taller." "How do we know, Marvin, that the dredge couldn't go through those big rocks?" "Come on around here and I'll show ya something." "This is our dredge bucket graveyard." "This is what the boulders did to those." "Holy frig." "To those dredges." "Look at that, Dave." "This is basically evidence that, uh, they were chewing on 'em." "I don't see how they could've got past that boulder layer." "If the boulders did that, to that thick a bucket." "I mean, do you think we could even handle it?" "It's worth a try." "Those weren't very big machines." "It's old technology." "With our equipment, we might have a shot." "Tell ya what, Dave." "Let's just go walk it." "This is definitely dredge track, isn't it?" "Do you really think we should tackle this?" "Those old dredges only went 20 feet deep." "Maybe the gold's at 40 feet." "Narrator:" "Dave's research shows that almost 100 years ago, dredges mined the Buckland claim, but only reached 20 feet." "The dredge buckets were unable to penetrate a layer of large boulders." "And Dave believes there are rich gold deposits below the dredged areas." "Oh, I don't know what to say." "The High Bar." "I thought that we...we would be knockin' it dead by now up there." "We're gonna need some kind of a plan B." "We're Placer miners." "That's what we know." "That up there is a wild goose chase." "You can't tell where the gold is." "At least we know the gold is at bedrock here." "This is still a crap shoot." "If the gold's in here,Todd..." "We'll get it out." "I'm willing to take a gamble." "Start digging, Dan!" "Narrator:" "At the High Bar mine," "The Hoffman crew is still desperate to find gold." "So Freddy Dodge has been forced to prospect in a valley on the edge of the claim." "The reason we came in here is because if that material's in here," "There's a good chance it got re-concentrated." "What's a sluice box do?" "It concentrates material." "A valley can be nature's sluice box." "So over tens or hundreds of thousands of years," "It's a slow concentration process." "I wanna find where the bedrock starts." "Yeah." "And then just...we'll cut us..." "I'll trench in and see what the hell lives in there." "In my mind, if the gold's on this property, the best gold should be here." "Hey, Dan." "I just wanna look at it." "That feels virgin to you diggin', doesn't it?" "Oh, it's hard digging'." "Yeah." "I mean, if it was tailings, it'd be a lot looser than that." "Right." "Narrator:" "Freddy's looking for signs of an ancient riverbed." "What do you think?" "Does it look like a flow?" "From here, it does." "When water flows move rocks, your rocks'll be flat." "The thicker end'll be upstream." "It's called shingling." "And they'll lay on each other." "We're looking deep in a hole right now." "But it looks to me like we might have that goin' on in there." "And if that's the case, we've had some concentration going." "Where it should be better gold than up there." "Narrator:" "Millions of years ago, a river carried these rocks downstream." "The flat rocks settled on the creek bed, overlapping each other in a process called shingling." "Their formation acts like riffles on a wash plant, catching gold between them." "Over time, these natural riffles could have caught a large concentration of gold." "Fire it up." "Trey and Freddy run half a yard of dirt from the new test hole through his mini trommel." "First bucket, Trey." "Here we go." "It'd be cool, Trey, if there was even $10 worth of gold in it." "That's 20 bucks a yard." "That beats the hell outta what's been goin'." "Yeah, absolutely." "Everybody's reputation's on the line on this hill, including mine." "If we don't find somethin' up here, we're not gonna look good." "Right now I'm excited and nervous." "I'm excited that there's a chance that could be one hell of a good spot." "And I'm also nervous I'm gonna look like an idiot for diggin' there." "[ clattering ]" "See anything, Trey?" "No, I"m not seeing anything, Fred." "Not on top." "Moment of truth, guys." "Yeah." "We got gold...for a half a yard." "Look at there." "Ha ha!" "Look at that...yellow gold." "Uh huh." "So far." "Uh huh." "So far." "You think?" "Yeah." "So far." "You think?" "Yeah." "Ha ha ha ha ha." "Nice, Trey." "That could be a serious game changer." "I think we're gonna be in pretty good shape." "[ men laugh ]" "Narrator:" "At Scribner Creek, Chris Doumitt has returned to the crew late." "Just in time for Parker's first cleanup of the season." "You almost gotta think..." "What would grandpa say if he saw this, huh?" "He'd be pretty proud of ya, kid." "It's a very weird thing slamming 220 yards an hour and 3,300 gallons a minute." "Of water and material at a plant like this that we've never ran." "And knowing that there should be about" "$3,000 or $4,000 worth of gold every hour comin' into it." "What percentage of that is goin' out?" "And until we get dialed in, it can be a very expensive learning curve." "Which I'm scared about." "How's she lookin' boss?" "To be honest, it doesn't look great." "There's no fuckin' gold in the box." "There really should be 60 ounces in here." "And I'm not seein' it." "You see those little bald spots in here?" "You can see the bare... miners moss." "Be nice if it was all evenly distributed." "Could be that gold's gettin' pounded into this moss and we just can't see it." "Yeah, keep 'er goin'."

"That's pretty damn good." "Narrator:" "That's over $150,000, a quarter of the cost of the wash plant." "I was getting a little nervous, running it through the gold room." "We all were." "Narrator:" "To hit Parker's 3,000-ounce season goal, they need to produce one and a half ounces an hour." "Three ounces an hour." "This is probably our best first cleanup we've had up here." "That's a smokin' start right there." "Yeah." "Yeah, it is." "So I guess the only thing left is, what are we gonna name this wash plant?" "Goldibox?" "[ laughter ]" "This bedrock is just right."

"In just two cleanups, new Dredge Master Kevin has already mined 536 ounces," "Three-quarters of last season's total." "That's really good." "That's pretty good for you micromanaging everything." "Well, every time we come up with a plan, you come up with something different." "Even when someone threw some logs in the water." "What is this about logs?" "Tony had the trucks dumping dirt into our dredge pond." "Yeah?" "The dirt was full of trees." "Oh." "So that kinda fucked up the bucket ladder a little bit." "Okay whatever." "But if that all happens and you still did pretty good..." "No, no, I think we did fuckin' great." "Probably another 50." "That's kind of a challenge, dude." "If it's in the ground and I can run for more hours, I can get it out of there." "There's only 24 hours in a day though." "I know." "But we keep having to stop 'cause someone wants to go do shit." "Now is that a fuckin' promise?" "'Cause I will hold you to that." "Tony has a trust issue." "It's clear that we are hitting our ounce an hour." "He doesn't need to be there at that point." "It's kind of a blessing and a curse to work with family." "I mean, you know you can yell at your family." "They'll be there the next day." "But then they're your family ...and no one... and absolutely no one can push your buttons like family can." "So, trade-offs." "Guys, let me show ya something." "Any good?"
