1
00:00:04,066 --> 00:00:05,467
[narrator]
On the Bering Sea...
2
00:00:05,467 --> 00:00:09,266
[man over radio] I don't like
the ice here.
It's really sketchy.
3
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:13,100
[narrator] ...the season
has been upside-down
from day one.
4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,567
[Shawn]
There's ice jumbled up
everywhere.
5
00:00:15,567 --> 00:00:17,233
This is not good.
6
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:19,600
[narrator] Now...
7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,066
[Chris] Nothing's
gonna stop us.
8
00:00:22,066 --> 00:00:24,900
[narrator] ...as the midpoint
of winter closes in...
9
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,300
Are you ready
to suck today's gold?
10
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:29,767
[narrator] ...it's time
to place your bets.
11
00:00:29,767 --> 00:00:30,800
[Shawn] Time to get work.
12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,367
We're in the money.
13
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:36,000
[narrator] Who will end
the first half
on the road to riches...
14
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:40,767
Yeah!
15
00:00:40,767 --> 00:00:42,266
[Sam] We're on the gold.
16
00:00:42,266 --> 00:00:45,266
It's working!
It's working!
17
00:00:45,266 --> 00:00:47,266
[narrator] ...and who
will go bust?
18
00:00:47,266 --> 00:00:49,467
This claim's
starting to get real small.
19
00:00:49,467 --> 00:00:51,700
I got neighbors
closing in on me.
20
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,133
[wind howling]
21
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,100
[Shawn] Oh, yeah.
Hang on.
22
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:18,867
[narrator] As winter mining
races toward the midway point,
23
00:01:18,867 --> 00:01:20,934
Mr. Gold is on the move.
24
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:23,834
[Shawn speaking]
25
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:33,467
[Shawn] I need gold
this winter
26
00:01:33,467 --> 00:01:35,967
to help get
my inland mine started.
27
00:01:35,967 --> 00:01:38,700
And I'm out
on Vernon's Claim 56
28
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:41,200
since Tomcod was a no-go.
29
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,367
But I really haven't been
blown away by the gold here.
30
00:01:44,367 --> 00:01:46,100
The gold dried up
in this direction,
31
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,133
so we've got to head
a new direction
and start a new hole.
32
00:01:53,266 --> 00:01:56,166
Vernon gave me two weeks
of royalty-free mining.
33
00:01:56,166 --> 00:01:59,100
But now we're already down
to the last four days.
34
00:02:00,266 --> 00:02:03,400
So the clock's ticking
and I have to turn this around
today.
35
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,567
We'll see, maybe Vernon's
gonna have a heart attack
or not.
36
00:02:32,567 --> 00:02:37,400
[narrator] Shawn's move
has taken him right up against
landlord Vernon Adkison.
37
00:02:38,066 --> 00:02:40,500
I got neighbors
closing in on me.
38
00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:44,066
These guys
are a little bit close.
39
00:02:44,066 --> 00:02:46,967
I'm collecting the royalty
from a lot of people
this winter,
40
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:49,367
including Zeke
and very soon, Shawn.
41
00:02:49,367 --> 00:02:51,900
But this is getting a little
too close for comfort.
42
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:59,400
[Vernon] We wanted a spot
that yielded some gold,
but not much.
43
00:03:00,266 --> 00:03:02,500
Jerry said the trail
leads in this direction.
44
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:07,233
And now we end up here,
ass against Shawn.
45
00:03:08,467 --> 00:03:10,266
This is where
the gold led us.
46
00:03:10,266 --> 00:03:12,200
Things could get interesting.
47
00:03:12,967 --> 00:03:14,000
[man speaking]
48
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:31,166
[man laughs]
49
00:03:31,166 --> 00:03:33,500
[comical explosion]
50
00:03:42,867 --> 00:03:45,700
-[Shawn] Let's go.
-[excavator roaring]
51
00:03:49,367 --> 00:03:51,266
[Shawn] They're saying
there's all kinds of gold
on this claim,
52
00:03:51,266 --> 00:03:53,300
but I'm starting
to have my doubts.
53
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,233
Hopefully, this is the hole.
54
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,400
[Vernon] Hey, Shawn.
You guys don't waste any time.
55
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Yeah.
How's it going, Vern?
56
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,100
All right. Yeah.
57
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:11,867
Quick moves.
I like it.
58
00:04:11,867 --> 00:04:13,800
[Shawn] Yeah,
we'd rather be on gold,
59
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,567
but if movement
is what we've got to do,
60
00:04:15,567 --> 00:04:17,300
it's what we're gonna do.
61
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,567
I just wasn't seeing
any color.
62
00:04:19,567 --> 00:04:21,467
You see a piece here,
a piece there,
63
00:04:21,467 --> 00:04:23,500
but nothing
that will pay the bills.
64
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,400
Hopefully,
there's some gold down here,
and that's all, I hope.
65
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,233
It would be nice to see
some [bleep] gold in the box.
66
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,667
[Vernon] I don't know
what Shawn is crying about,
but 56 is loaded.
67
00:04:34,667 --> 00:04:38,066
And since,
now he's creeping up
on my paystreak,
68
00:04:38,066 --> 00:04:41,000
the last thing I need
is for him to get too close
to my gold.
69
00:04:45,967 --> 00:04:49,066
[narrator] And now it's time
to place your bets.
70
00:04:49,066 --> 00:04:53,266
Who will get the most gold
on this paystreak,
71
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:56,934
Mr. Gold
or the Salty Skipper?
72
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,900
[Shawn] It's time
to get in the water.
73
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:04,400
[bleep]
74
00:05:06,667 --> 00:05:08,667
[both laugh]
75
00:05:08,667 --> 00:05:10,700
[Shawn] Vernon claims
there's gold in this area.
76
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:12,266
I sure hope he's right.
77
00:05:12,266 --> 00:05:14,600
Today's the day
we get on some gold,
78
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,200
because in a matter of days
that 15% is kicking in.
79
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,467
So right now is the time
to make it happen.
80
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:22,400
Let's see what you got, 56.
81
00:05:31,266 --> 00:05:33,300
[water gurgling]
82
00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,400
[inhales]
83
00:05:50,367 --> 00:05:52,533
[Joe speaking]
84
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:54,333
[Shawn speaking]
85
00:05:55,967 --> 00:06:00,567
-[whirring]
-[splashing]
86
00:06:00,567 --> 00:06:03,166
All right. He throttled up.
He's moving dirt now, boys.
87
00:06:03,166 --> 00:06:05,400
[splashing]
88
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,900
Let's see what's down there.
89
00:06:14,367 --> 00:06:15,634
[Shawn speaking]
90
00:06:19,867 --> 00:06:22,500
What kind of bottom
are you seeing down there?
91
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,600
[Shawn speaking]
92
00:06:31,166 --> 00:06:34,333
If we can see some rocks,
that means we don't have
to move any sand.
93
00:06:36,767 --> 00:06:38,533
[Shawn speaking]
94
00:06:54,266 --> 00:06:56,500
All those big rocks
resist movement,
95
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:58,000
like to hold the gold.
96
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,233
[Shawn] Yeah, they do.
97
00:07:37,266 --> 00:07:39,900
[narrator] While
the favorite's first round
in the ring
98
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:40,934
comes up empty,
99
00:07:42,467 --> 00:07:44,367
less than 80 yards away...
100
00:07:44,367 --> 00:07:46,567
Well, it looks like
we're just about ready.
101
00:07:46,567 --> 00:07:50,066
Let's get the pump going
and get the water flowing.
102
00:07:50,066 --> 00:07:52,900
I guarantee you
this site will be hot,
and it better be
103
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,967
because I'm paying for
a nitrox dive system
this summer,
104
00:07:55,967 --> 00:07:59,100
which will revolutionize
my operation.
105
00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:01,900
The gold we could get
will fund my retirement.
106
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:04,000
But it ain't cheap,
107
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,767
and so far, we're not on pace
to hit our number.
108
00:08:06,767 --> 00:08:09,500
But today is the day
we turn it around.
109
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:21,233
We know
there's gold down there,
so let's go get it.
110
00:08:22,567 --> 00:08:25,300
[Vernon] All right, Gary.
Get out there, buddy.
111
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:27,000
Put some gold in the box.
112
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:34,867
[inhales]
113
00:08:34,867 --> 00:08:36,800
[Gary exclaims graciously]
114
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:55,867
[man] Copy. Idle up, please.
Go ahead and idle up.
115
00:08:55,867 --> 00:08:58,400
[motor whirring]
116
00:09:04,867 --> 00:09:05,900
You got suction.
117
00:09:06,967 --> 00:09:08,100
[Gary speaking]
118
00:09:30,867 --> 00:09:32,300
[Vernon speaking]
119
00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:35,100
This might end up being
an extremely good hole.
120
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:36,767
[Gary speaking]
121
00:09:36,767 --> 00:09:39,367
[Vernon] I've said it before
and I'll say it again.
122
00:09:39,367 --> 00:09:42,400
56 is the gift
that keeps on giving.
123
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,000
We're in the money, baby.
124
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,333
And look,
Shawn may be Mr. Gold
over on Tomcod,
125
00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:49,700
but not on 56...
126
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:51,467
[Gary speaking]
127
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:53,266
[Vernon] That's what
I like to hear, Gary.
128
00:09:53,266 --> 00:09:54,934
...I am.
129
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:57,000
We're gonna crush him.
130
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:10,066
[Chris] We've got
lots of ground
to work on.
131
00:10:10,066 --> 00:10:12,500
About to tear this [bleep] up.
132
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:14,600
[narrator] As the first half
of winter closes,
133
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,100
no one is firing
on all cylinders
134
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,700
like Chris McCully.
135
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,667
[Chris] Trying to get
two dives today.
136
00:10:20,667 --> 00:10:22,000
That's the main goal.
137
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,567
[narrator] And,
not surprisingly,
138
00:10:23,567 --> 00:10:26,900
he sits atop the leaderboard.
139
00:10:30,066 --> 00:10:31,767
[Chris] We're ready
to put some water in it.
140
00:10:31,767 --> 00:10:34,300
And then, yeah,
fire this thing up.
141
00:10:35,166 --> 00:10:37,100
I'm starting to hit a groove
this winter.
142
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,867
I had to shake up my team
and I brought Wilson in,
143
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:43,133
but that's taken us
to a whole new level.
144
00:10:44,367 --> 00:10:47,600
We're on gold
and our cleanups keep getting
bigger and bigger.
145
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,700
Wow.
146
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:52,367
I'm building
this custom crawler
for the summer,
147
00:10:52,367 --> 00:10:54,600
and I have spent tons of money
into building it,
148
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,400
but I'm sure we'll make more
than enough to pay for it.
149
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,367
The amount of ground
that the crawler can cover,
150
00:11:00,367 --> 00:11:02,033
sky's the limit.
151
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,367
[motor sputtering]
152
00:11:19,367 --> 00:11:22,266
All right,
well, looks like this could be
the end of this motor
153
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:24,567
because we keep having
this problem.
154
00:11:24,567 --> 00:11:28,367
You know, it's taking us
three or four hours
just to get fired up.
155
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:33,066
So, I think that we'll do
one more last try on this one.
156
00:11:33,066 --> 00:11:35,300
And then, uh,
we'll go from there.
157
00:11:39,467 --> 00:11:41,467
[motor sputtering]
158
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:46,400
-[motor whirring]
-Yeah! Whoo!
159
00:11:47,767 --> 00:11:50,166
I got the pump engine started,
and I hope she holds
160
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:52,967
because we're diving deep,
over 33 ft.
161
00:11:52,967 --> 00:11:54,800
That's where the gold is at.
162
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,767
So when you dive,
nitrogen builds up
in your blood.
163
00:11:58,767 --> 00:12:01,500
The deeper you go,
the faster it builds up.
164
00:12:02,166 --> 00:12:04,567
So Wilson and I
are gonna dive today,
165
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:07,700
but we're gonna limit
to three hours each.
166
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:10,667
So this pump engine's
got to last
for six more hours,
167
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:11,967
but we'll see.
168
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,400
We're gonna get gold, baby.
Let's get some gold.
169
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,867
Are you ready
to suck today's gold?
170
00:12:18,867 --> 00:12:21,600
-Suck today's gold.
-Suck today's gold, buddy?
171
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,233
[narrator] Now it's time
to place your bets.
172
00:12:26,767 --> 00:12:30,100
Will the pump engine hold out
for both dives?
173
00:12:32,567 --> 00:12:34,834
Roger that.
Get money.
174
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:47,000
[inhales]
175
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,900
How goes the battle so far?
176
00:13:17,367 --> 00:13:18,400
[Wilson speaking]
177
00:13:23,667 --> 00:13:25,367
Your suction is good, eh?
178
00:13:25,367 --> 00:13:26,533
[Wilson speaking]
179
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Copy that.
180
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,233
[Wilson speaking]
181
00:13:46,567 --> 00:13:48,200
[Chris speaking]
182
00:13:50,667 --> 00:13:52,567
I've done
and crossed this job today,
183
00:13:52,567 --> 00:13:54,233
getting Wilson in the water.
184
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:55,767
Everything's good.
185
00:13:55,767 --> 00:13:58,467
Wilson is my gold dog
this year.
186
00:13:58,467 --> 00:14:00,200
He's after it. He's hungry.
187
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:05,367
[Wilson speaking]
188
00:14:05,367 --> 00:14:07,700
Shake and bake, baby.
189
00:14:08,667 --> 00:14:10,233
Damn, I'm good.
190
00:14:13,867 --> 00:14:15,000
[narrator] Across the ice...
191
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:19,667
[Sam] It's time to mine.
192
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:21,000
[Zeke] All right,
we're in business.
193
00:14:23,767 --> 00:14:26,266
We need to stock up
some G.
194
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:30,367
[narrator] ...Zeke Tenhoff's
in a make-or-break situation.
195
00:14:30,367 --> 00:14:34,266
After making a deal
with Vernon
to mine Claim 56...
196
00:14:34,266 --> 00:14:35,767
-I'll see you out there.
-Yep.
197
00:14:35,767 --> 00:14:40,800
[narrator] ...the mad
scientist and his team
have yet to find any gold.
198
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,100
I'm not even seeing
any specks of gold.
199
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,166
I'm just seeing layers
of boring gravel.
200
00:14:45,166 --> 00:14:46,700
It's not good enough.
201
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:48,700
We need to be seeing
specs of gold, like,
202
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,400
every time we clear away
some sand.
203
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,133
-Yeah.
-We can do better.
204
00:14:55,066 --> 00:14:58,166
[narrator] Now armed
with coordinates from Vernon,
205
00:14:58,166 --> 00:15:00,767
the team's trekking
nearly two miles,
206
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:03,934
desperate
for a golden victory.
207
00:15:05,266 --> 00:15:06,567
Get our drive hole here,
208
00:15:06,567 --> 00:15:08,700
tailings hole
right back over there.
209
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:10,667
I'm in a tough spot.
210
00:15:10,667 --> 00:15:12,300
I need to stack up some gold
211
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,500
to get my yurt ready
for my family to move into.
212
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:15,834
But I'm coming up empty.
213
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,567
So we've traveled across
the entire lease
to get to this new spot.
214
00:15:21,567 --> 00:15:23,767
It was a huge move.
215
00:15:23,767 --> 00:15:25,867
But we're gambling
that the gold that's gonna be
over here
216
00:15:25,867 --> 00:15:28,000
is gonna turn
our whole season around.
217
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,433
If not, it might be time
for us to pack it in.
218
00:15:41,667 --> 00:15:43,133
[narrator] Place your bets.
219
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Will the massive move pay off,
220
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,400
or is this a trip to forget?
221
00:15:50,266 --> 00:15:52,233
[inhales]
222
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,734
Real nice and clear
down here.
223
00:16:22,567 --> 00:16:24,467
How are we looking
down there?
224
00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:27,900
I'm just, kind of,
scouting it out
and see where it looks best.
225
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,333
There's a lot of patches
of frozen gravel
that are kind of difficult.
226
00:16:34,166 --> 00:16:35,133
[Sam speaking]
227
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:38,767
[whirring]
228
00:16:38,767 --> 00:16:41,400
[splashing]
229
00:16:47,667 --> 00:16:48,900
[Zeke speaking]
230
00:16:51,166 --> 00:16:52,934
How are things
down there, Zeke?
231
00:16:53,367 --> 00:16:54,700
[Zeke speaking]
232
00:16:57,867 --> 00:16:59,467
You just have to punch
a couple holes
233
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:01,500
-and see
where we can find anything.
-[Zeke speaking]
234
00:17:26,166 --> 00:17:27,567
Yeah!
235
00:17:27,567 --> 00:17:30,500
We're on the gold.
Yeah!
236
00:17:31,166 --> 00:17:32,533
[Zeke speaking]
237
00:17:33,166 --> 00:17:36,133
Whoo! All right!
238
00:17:37,867 --> 00:17:41,166
It's working!
It's working!
239
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:43,500
[laughs]
240
00:17:51,266 --> 00:17:53,767
[Kris] It's cold,
but as long as you have
the right gear,
241
00:17:53,767 --> 00:17:55,000
life is not that bad.
242
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,400
We're gonna have
a great day today.
243
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,500
There's a lot of gold
underneath our feet,
244
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,500
so that's gonna keep me
in a good mood.
245
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,500
[narrator] Captain Kris Kelly
is looking to get
back on track...
246
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:07,300
[groans]
247
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:15,467
[narrator] ...as the first
half of his season
sprung a few leaks.
248
00:18:15,467 --> 00:18:17,500
-[Kris] Damn.
-[Andy] Oh, that's bad.
249
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:20,000
[Kris] The plan today
is simple.
250
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,667
We're not gonna waste
any time.
251
00:18:21,667 --> 00:18:23,667
I'll be the first diver
underneath the water.
252
00:18:23,667 --> 00:18:25,400
Easy ground.
253
00:18:26,667 --> 00:18:28,600
This season's been rocky
so far.
254
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,200
It took us a while
to find gold,
255
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800
and when we did,
we still have problems.
256
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000
But we've got a quick fix
on the sluice box,
257
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,500
so hopefully it's not
gonna keep bleeding gold.
258
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:40,166
But we're setting
the bar high today.
259
00:18:40,166 --> 00:18:42,900
We're turning
our operation around
and getting some momentum
260
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:44,967
going in the back half
of the season.
261
00:18:44,967 --> 00:18:48,900
I'm going to get into my suit
and we're gonna get
three dives today
262
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:50,600
at the very minimum.
263
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,100
Three dives today.
264
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:12,166
[narrator] Now it's time
to place your bets.
265
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:16,033
Will Reaper Nation
actually get in
three dives today?
266
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,900
[water gurgling]
267
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:26,800
[inhales]
268
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,700
[Kris] Okay.
269
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:41,967
Okay. Idle up.
270
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:43,533
[Andy] Idle up!
271
00:19:47,066 --> 00:19:48,000
We're up and running.
272
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,133
How's your suction?
273
00:19:51,166 --> 00:19:52,800
[Kris speaking]
274
00:20:15,367 --> 00:20:17,800
Hey, it can always
be better, buddy.
275
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:25,600
[Kris] Okay, I'm on gold now.
276
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:29,734
-What was that, two seconds?
-All right.
277
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,767
[Kris speaking]
278
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:33,000
[Andy speaking]
279
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,400
[Kris speaking]
280
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,367
Hey, everything's going good.
281
00:20:40,367 --> 00:20:43,333
My brother's on gold.
[bleep] It's gonna be
a great day now.
282
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,000
All those years of teaching
my brother,
283
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,233
he's finally figuring out
how to find gold.
284
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:52,233
[narrator] Three miles west.
285
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:58,634
Still on the gold, huh?
286
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,867
[Wilson speaking]
287
00:21:01,867 --> 00:21:03,166
[Chris speaking]
288
00:21:04,467 --> 00:21:06,800
[narrator] As Wilson
nears the three-hour mark,
289
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,667
the McCully team is making
every minute count
290
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:11,734
while the pump engine
holds out.
291
00:21:12,266 --> 00:21:13,700
[Chris speaking]
292
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:15,767
[Wilson speaking]
293
00:21:15,767 --> 00:21:16,767
[Chris] Okay.
294
00:21:16,767 --> 00:21:18,767
While you do your safety stop,
295
00:21:18,767 --> 00:21:20,600
I'm gonna
go ahead and idle down.
296
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,767
[Wilson] All right.
297
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:28,867
[narrator] On dives
deeper than 33 feet,
298
00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:33,867
divers need to perform
a safety stop at 15 feet
for three minutes
299
00:21:33,867 --> 00:21:37,166
to allow their body
to eliminate excess nitrogen.
300
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:39,367
[Wilson speaking]
301
00:21:39,367 --> 00:21:41,500
[machinery buzzing,
sputtering]
302
00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:47,266
All right.
I'm ready to pound in
my three-hour dive.
303
00:21:47,266 --> 00:21:49,000
We're gonna
keep the ball rolling.
304
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:51,400
[Wilson speaking]
305
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,133
Oh, yeah. Wow.
306
00:21:55,967 --> 00:21:57,567
Whoo!
307
00:22:00,166 --> 00:22:04,266
[narrator] And now,
the boss steps in
to close out the day.
308
00:22:04,266 --> 00:22:05,934
[Chris speaking]
309
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:10,000
[Wilson] Have a good dive.
310
00:22:13,767 --> 00:22:15,333
[Chris speaking]
311
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:21,200
[breath hissing]
312
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,133
[Wilson speaking]
313
00:22:57,166 --> 00:22:58,433
All right, we're idled up.
314
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,734
[Chris speaking]
315
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:15,000
[Wilson speaking]
316
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,400
[Chris speaking]
317
00:23:19,767 --> 00:23:21,500
Woo-hoo!
318
00:23:26,967 --> 00:23:29,834
[narrator] The McCully team's
not the only one getting hot.
319
00:23:33,767 --> 00:23:36,467
[Vernon] Okay, Gary,
everything's working
down there.
320
00:23:36,467 --> 00:23:38,834
-You're seeing
some good pieces?
-[Gary] Oh, yeah.
321
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,433
[Vernon] Right, Gary, right.
322
00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:49,667
[narrator] After four hours,
Vernon's team is still
hitting the jackpot on 56.
323
00:23:49,667 --> 00:23:51,233
[Gary speaking]
324
00:23:54,367 --> 00:23:55,700
[Vernon] All right, buddy.
325
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:58,300
[narrator] Less than
100 yards away,
326
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,300
Shawn Pomrenke's
been at it for hours, too.
327
00:24:01,300 --> 00:24:03,667
[Shawn] Come on, baby.
Where are you at?
328
00:24:03,667 --> 00:24:07,266
[narrator] But so far,
Mr. Gold is coming up
snake-eyes.
329
00:24:07,266 --> 00:24:09,100
[Shawn] I'm not seeing
a whole lot of color.
330
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,400
Where's it at?
331
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,066
[Joe speaking]
332
00:24:16,066 --> 00:24:17,200
[Shawn speaking]
333
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:20,734
He's looking, though.
334
00:24:21,467 --> 00:24:24,000
[Shawn speaking]
335
00:24:24,767 --> 00:24:26,467
Come on, baby.
336
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:30,667
Ideally, he'd be hooting
and hollering, and hardly
able to contain himself
337
00:24:30,667 --> 00:24:32,500
'cause there's so much gold
in front of him.
338
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,900
But... it's not the case yet.
339
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:37,000
[Shawn speaking]
340
00:24:56,667 --> 00:24:58,233
Come on, gold.
341
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,400
[Shawn speaking]
342
00:25:08,467 --> 00:25:10,300
We're [bleep], boys.
343
00:25:10,867 --> 00:25:12,400
No gold here.
344
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:14,166
[Shawn speaking]
345
00:25:14,166 --> 00:25:15,000
All right.
346
00:25:30,300 --> 00:25:31,667
[Joe speaking]
347
00:25:31,667 --> 00:25:33,200
[Shawn] Yeah.
348
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,233
[bleep]
349
00:25:37,367 --> 00:25:39,900
I'm not feeling
like Mr. Gold right now.
350
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:44,667
We're coming up dry,
and my royalty-free days
are almost up.
351
00:25:44,667 --> 00:25:48,500
56 seems like a ATM
for Vern, but not for me.
352
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:51,066
But that's how
it is sometimes.
353
00:25:51,066 --> 00:25:53,767
This guy could be on gold,
and you could be
right next to him,
354
00:25:53,767 --> 00:25:55,400
and there could be no gold.
355
00:25:56,967 --> 00:26:00,467
Something has
to drastically change
this season, or I'm screwed.
356
00:26:00,467 --> 00:26:01,934
[machinery whirring]
357
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:11,433
Nope.
358
00:26:12,567 --> 00:26:14,133
[narrator] Back on
Vernon's site.
359
00:26:14,133 --> 00:26:18,100
[Vernon] This is
exactly the kind of material
we were looking to get into.
360
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,400
[Gary speaking]
361
00:26:22,567 --> 00:26:24,000
Yee-haw!
362
00:26:25,066 --> 00:26:27,133
[Vernon speaking]
363
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:31,000
-Let's call it.
-[Gary groaning]
364
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,600
[Vernon speaking]
365
00:26:41,867 --> 00:26:43,233
[Gary speaking]
366
00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:48,000
[Vernon] Roger, Roger.
367
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,600
[machinery whirring
slowing down]
368
00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,066
[man speaking]
369
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,667
[man] You weren't done.
You're going back in.
370
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:11,066
[man 2 speaking]
371
00:27:11,066 --> 00:27:12,800
[man laughs] He's ready.
372
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,000
[Vernon] That's what
I want to hear.
373
00:27:15,266 --> 00:27:16,700
We're in the money.
374
00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:19,300
Today was
the best day bar none.
375
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,567
I'm sorry if Shawn
crapped out,
376
00:27:21,567 --> 00:27:23,767
but we're raking it in
on this spot,
377
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:28,100
and if it's this good
moving forward, we're
going to win big this season.
378
00:27:34,667 --> 00:27:36,700
Well, that was
a damn good day.
379
00:27:38,266 --> 00:27:40,934
I know damn well
there's some good gold
in that box.
380
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,233
How are things
down there, Zeke?
381
00:27:55,567 --> 00:27:57,400
[Zeke speaking]
382
00:28:00,367 --> 00:28:01,500
[Sam] Yeah, that's awesome.
383
00:28:02,967 --> 00:28:05,367
[narrator] After four hours,
Zeke Tenhoff is enjoying
384
00:28:05,367 --> 00:28:08,700
the fruits of his labor
for the first time
this season.
385
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:12,300
[Zeke speaking]
386
00:28:14,066 --> 00:28:15,700
I'm so stoked
we got some gold.
387
00:28:17,667 --> 00:28:20,333
[Zeke speaking]
388
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:25,600
[Sam speaking]
389
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,900
I would say,
we had a win for today.
390
00:28:29,867 --> 00:28:32,133
[Zeke speaking]
391
00:28:42,767 --> 00:28:44,233
[Sam speaking]
392
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,500
Whoo!
393
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:56,266
All right, buddy.
394
00:28:56,266 --> 00:28:58,233
Found some gold. Toss them.
395
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:04,467
[Zeke] Finally, finally,
we're on some good gold.
396
00:29:04,467 --> 00:29:07,100
It can be really
easy to lose hope
in mining sometimes.
397
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:10,567
But now I feel like we're
ending the first half
of the season on a high note.
398
00:29:10,567 --> 00:29:13,567
As long as the gold stays
as good as this,
moving forward,
399
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:15,166
we're gonna
crush it this season.
400
00:29:15,166 --> 00:29:19,000
Tomorrow. I think
the game plan
is gonna be, like, fired up.
401
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,767
Doing a couple four
or five-hour stints,
402
00:29:21,767 --> 00:29:23,800
just explore
this area a little better.
403
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,100
[Sam] Yeah, I like that.
404
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:26,467
[bell dings]
405
00:29:26,467 --> 00:29:28,066
[Zeke] Our strategy
is working.
406
00:29:28,066 --> 00:29:29,500
We made a correct move.
407
00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:31,266
There's gold in this area.
408
00:29:31,266 --> 00:29:33,367
I just need to think
about how we can, like,
409
00:29:33,367 --> 00:29:36,000
chew into it efficiently,
and how we can produce
410
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,033
a consistent amount of gold
for the rest of the season.
411
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,867
I'm really stoked about this.
412
00:29:42,867 --> 00:29:46,300
[narrator] While Zeke
ends the first half
with a winning wager...
413
00:29:49,567 --> 00:29:51,300
[Chris speaking]
414
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:56,367
[narrator] On the cusp
of three hours,
415
00:29:56,367 --> 00:30:00,500
Chris McCully is
also about to cash in
a winning ticket.
416
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:02,800
[Chris speaking, whoops]
417
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,500
[machinery sputtering, stops]
418
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,233
[Chris speaking]
419
00:30:22,867 --> 00:30:24,300
[Wilson speaking]
420
00:30:27,567 --> 00:30:28,667
[Chris speaking]
421
00:30:28,667 --> 00:30:30,033
[Wilson speaking]
422
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:46,300
[Chris speaking]
423
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:53,800
[Chris] I knew that pump
was gonna be done anyways,
424
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,000
but it made it
until the end of my dive.
425
00:30:58,266 --> 00:31:00,500
So, we still got six hours in.
426
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:03,567
It'll cost me a lot of money
to buy me a new one.
427
00:31:03,567 --> 00:31:07,000
But if we have
a monster clean-out,
it'll make up for it.
428
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,834
[Chris speaking]
429
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,266
[Wilson speaking]
430
00:31:11,266 --> 00:31:14,667
-[Chris speaking]
-[both laugh]
431
00:31:14,667 --> 00:31:17,800
[Chris] That dive is
a big win for sure.
Big win.
432
00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:21,300
[narrator] Three miles east...
433
00:31:26,567 --> 00:31:28,000
You hear that sound?
434
00:31:29,367 --> 00:31:31,400
All those rocks going up?
435
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,467
That's the sound of money.
436
00:31:33,467 --> 00:31:37,000
[narrator] Reaper Nation
is aiming for
a three-dive day
437
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,667
to end a tough first half
on an upswing.
438
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:44,066
Okay, Kris, it's
been a couple hours.
How's everything going?
439
00:31:44,066 --> 00:31:46,033
[Kris speaking]
440
00:31:49,166 --> 00:31:50,900
[Andy] From the ground
and everything you see,
441
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:52,867
you think we have
a couple of days here?
442
00:31:52,867 --> 00:31:54,867
Or do you think
we're gonna moving soon?
443
00:31:54,867 --> 00:31:57,433
[Kris] Uh...
[breath hissing]
444
00:32:10,266 --> 00:32:13,100
[Andy] Everything's
going good. My brother's
pulling really good gold.
445
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,734
I can't ask
for a better day
than this, man.
446
00:32:16,900 --> 00:32:18,266
Everything's going perfect.
447
00:32:18,266 --> 00:32:21,500
We should have
a really good cleanup by
the time we actually do one.
448
00:32:23,667 --> 00:32:25,300
[machinery whirring,
sputtering]
449
00:32:30,066 --> 00:32:31,400
[Kris speaking]
450
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:46,700
[Andy speaking]
451
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:51,233
[Kris speaking]
452
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:08,233
[bleep]
453
00:33:12,367 --> 00:33:14,367
[Kris] We just can't get
momentum this winter.
454
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,467
I'm on great gold.
Everything's going good.
455
00:33:16,467 --> 00:33:18,500
And then, the air compressor
takes a dump.
456
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,767
So, there goes
the rest of our day.
457
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:24,300
Now, we have
to fix that machine.
458
00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:27,133
I just hope there's some
good gold in the box.
459
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:31,200
I can feel that air compressor
being a sack of [bleep].
460
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,233
My air was running out.
You know, I could feel it.
461
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:37,233
Let's shut everything down.
462
00:33:38,567 --> 00:33:41,967
It's depressing
and it's a letdown,
but it is what it is.
463
00:33:41,967 --> 00:33:45,033
Let's get the [bleep]
out of here.
What a waste of time.
464
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:48,500
This is [bleep] bull [bleep].
465
00:33:53,767 --> 00:33:56,900
[narrator] And now, it's time
for the Bering Sea Gold
midseason awards.
466
00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:01,000
In the category
of "Most heated words
on the ice,"
467
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,500
the award goes
to Vernon Adkison
and Gary Panos...
468
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:08,367
Tell you what,
if you don't want to do it,
then don't do it.
469
00:34:08,367 --> 00:34:09,867
[narrator] ...who never let
their age difference
470
00:34:09,867 --> 00:34:12,100
stand in the way
of a good fight.
471
00:34:12,100 --> 00:34:14,367
[Gary speaking]
472
00:34:14,367 --> 00:34:19,166
[narrator] The award for
most ill-conceived plan
involving a nozzle
473
00:34:19,166 --> 00:34:21,567
goes to Kris Kelly.
474
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:23,033
[Kris screaming, speaking]
475
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,100
[narrator] A man
always willing
to give any idea a shot,
476
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,166
no matter how dumb it may be.
477
00:34:30,166 --> 00:34:31,400
Oh, that's bad.
478
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,100
[narrator] And finally,
in the category of
479
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:37,066
craziest risk
to life and limb,
480
00:34:37,066 --> 00:34:39,767
the award goes
to Chris McCully...
481
00:34:39,767 --> 00:34:42,100
[Chris speaking]
482
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:46,066
[narrator]
...for diving under the ice,
alone, with no backup.
483
00:34:46,066 --> 00:34:47,567
[Chris speaking]
484
00:34:47,567 --> 00:34:48,500
[narrator] Thanks
for watching,
485
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:51,000
and congratulations
to all our winners.
486
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,266
[Vernon] It looks like
a nice pile there.
487
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:04,767
[Gary] We've got a little bit
of water left in there.
Cook that off.
488
00:35:04,767 --> 00:35:07,767
[narrator] Vernon Adkison
readies to weigh the results
489
00:35:07,767 --> 00:35:11,867
from what could be
his best day of winter so far.
490
00:35:11,867 --> 00:35:14,166
Hey, Gary, you got
that cooked off yet?
491
00:35:14,166 --> 00:35:17,066
[Gary] Yep.
Let's take it to the scale.
492
00:35:17,066 --> 00:35:19,967
Get it on, weigh it up,
see what we got.
493
00:35:19,967 --> 00:35:22,400
[Vernon] I've got miners
paying me royalties.
494
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,867
But that's just
a cherry on top,
as far as I'm concerned.
495
00:35:25,867 --> 00:35:28,567
My bread and butter
is my own operation.
496
00:35:28,567 --> 00:35:30,567
That's where
I've got to make my money.
497
00:35:30,567 --> 00:35:34,400
So far, this season
has been uninspiring
on that end.
498
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,066
But I'm hoping,
today we start our big run.
499
00:35:37,066 --> 00:35:40,500
Okay, guys,
let's see what we've got here.
500
00:35:40,500 --> 00:35:43,467
-[Gary] I'm gonna say,
at least 11.
-[man] At least 10.
501
00:35:43,467 --> 00:35:46,266
[Vernon] There's one. Two.
502
00:35:46,266 --> 00:35:49,200
Three. Four.
503
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,400
Five. Six.
504
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,634
Seven. Eight.
505
00:35:55,367 --> 00:35:58,133
Nine. Ten.
506
00:35:59,767 --> 00:36:01,600
Eleven.
507
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Eleven point nine seven.
508
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,500
-[Gary] That's
pretty good gold.
-Pretty damn decent.
509
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:11,266
[narrator] Eleven
point nine seven ounces.
510
00:36:11,266 --> 00:36:13,567
That's worth over $28,000,
511
00:36:13,567 --> 00:36:16,867
sending Vernon into
the back half of winter
512
00:36:16,867 --> 00:36:19,300
hotter than
he's been all season.
513
00:36:27,967 --> 00:36:30,100
I'll take that all day long.
514
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,567
Well, I'll be damned.
Look at us.
515
00:36:32,567 --> 00:36:35,000
This is the way
it's supposed to be.
516
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,667
We're dialed in
at just the right time.
517
00:36:37,667 --> 00:36:41,100
And we're going
into the back end
of the season with confidence.
518
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,467
-All right.
-Doin' good.
519
00:36:42,467 --> 00:36:44,333
-Good job, guys.
-Yeah, killed it.
520
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:48,900
[Vernon] Let's bag it, tag it,
go get a beer.
521
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:53,634
[narrator] Across town...
522
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:56,834
[Kris] We are cleaning gold.
523
00:36:57,900 --> 00:36:59,700
We're cleaning off
the gold cube a little bit
524
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:02,266
and just seeing what kind
of gold it's on there.
525
00:37:02,266 --> 00:37:06,266
[narrator] Reaper Nation
is hoping for a little magic
on the scale
526
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:08,900
to give their slagging
season a boost.
527
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,233
[Kris speaking]
528
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,934
Okay. This is what we got.
529
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,500
[Kris] Here we go, everybody.
530
00:37:19,567 --> 00:37:20,900
There's one ounce.
531
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,300
Two ounces.
532
00:37:25,266 --> 00:37:27,400
There's three ounces.
Come on.
533
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,800
Oh, my God.
Hopefully, we got four ounces.
534
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:37,467
Tapping it's not gonna
give you more.
535
00:37:37,467 --> 00:37:40,100
[Kris] Something
needs to give us
more at this point.
536
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:44,900
So, we got a little over...
and I mean a little
over four ounces.
537
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:48,467
[narrator] Four ounces
is worth over $9,000.
538
00:37:48,467 --> 00:37:53,233
And the Kelly clan
is limping into
the back half of the season.
539
00:38:01,767 --> 00:38:03,700
[Kris] We thought
we were on great gold.
540
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:05,867
I don't know
what happened there.
541
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:08,467
Well, the first half
was not what I hoped.
542
00:38:08,467 --> 00:38:10,166
I rolled
the dice on this spot.
543
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,700
Nobody else is out here.
Nobody believed in me.
544
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:15,300
We found gold out here,
and it's good.
545
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:18,667
We just need
to get our equipment going,
and get out of our own way.
546
00:38:18,667 --> 00:38:21,467
And if we can do that,
there's no reason
we can't rebound
547
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:23,133
in the second half
of the season.
548
00:38:23,867 --> 00:38:24,867
We can do better.
549
00:38:24,867 --> 00:38:26,800
Let's just keep grinding away.
550
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,333
This is our chance.
551
00:38:34,667 --> 00:38:36,000
[narrator] By the harbor...
552
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:38,834
[Chris] Oh, yeah, we
got some gold in there.
553
00:38:39,367 --> 00:38:40,233
Heck, yeah.
554
00:38:40,233 --> 00:38:42,600
You know,
every scoop I pour in there,
555
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,166
there's gold in it.
So, that's a good sign.
556
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:49,767
[narrator] Gold-count leader,
Chris McCully, is looking
to pull away from the pack
557
00:38:49,767 --> 00:38:52,900
as the first half
of the season
comes to an end.
558
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:55,000
[Chris] Oh, yeah, look.
It's already piling up.
559
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,400
I think we're making
money like a politician
at this point.
560
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:04,800
If I get eight ounces
off of this clean out,
I'll be really very happy
561
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,300
because that means that
I will have enough money
562
00:39:08,300 --> 00:39:12,500
to buy another motor
so that I can run
throughout my season.
563
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:17,166
Nice. Sweet.
564
00:39:17,166 --> 00:39:18,734
Let's weigh this thing up.
565
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,600
Here we go, pouring in grams.
566
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:28,734
One hundred.
567
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:31,100
Two hundred.
568
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,133
Three hundred grams.
569
00:39:36,867 --> 00:39:39,433
Four hundred
and thirty nine grams.
570
00:39:41,166 --> 00:39:43,100
Thirty one point one.
571
00:39:44,567 --> 00:39:48,200
We have 14.1 troy ounces.
572
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,500
[narrator] Fourteen
point one ounces
is worth over 32 grand,
573
00:39:52,500 --> 00:39:57,000
the biggest cleanout
by anyone in the fleet
so far this winter.
574
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,266
And Chris McCully,
he's heading into
the back half
575
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:02,033
with a full head of steam.
576
00:40:10,467 --> 00:40:12,367
[Chris] We did really good
on this round.
577
00:40:12,367 --> 00:40:16,867
So, I'm pretty confident
that it'll be good from here.
578
00:40:16,867 --> 00:40:21,600
If we keep doing this
for the rest of the season,
I will blow past my goal.
579
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,533
This could be
a record winter for me.
580
00:40:23,900 --> 00:40:25,000
Good job, man.
581
00:40:25,667 --> 00:40:27,233
Gonna keep piling it up.
582
00:40:28,367 --> 00:40:31,233
We are ahead of the game,
kicking ass.
583
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:34,166
[narrator] Chris McCully
ends a dominant
584
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:36,300
first half on top,
585
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:39,800
as Vernon starts
creeping up the board.
586
00:40:40,667 --> 00:40:43,767
Next time on
Bering Sea Gold...
587
00:40:43,767 --> 00:40:46,066
Plenty of gold right here.
You've just got to find it.
588
00:40:46,066 --> 00:40:47,600
[diver speaking]
589
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,300
I think he's gonna do okay.
590
00:40:49,667 --> 00:40:51,600
[diver speaking]
591
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
[Shawn] Special delivery!
592
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,300
Get the hose in the water.
That's the only way
you make money around here.
593
00:40:59,300 --> 00:41:00,800
[diver speaking]
594
00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:03,567
[Kris] We're making gold.
595
00:41:03,567 --> 00:41:05,467
Just go [bleep] find gold.
596
00:41:05,467 --> 00:41:07,000
[diver speaking]
597
00:41:07,667 --> 00:41:08,667
[Kris] Are you okay?
598
00:41:08,667 --> 00:41:10,066
[diver speaking]
599
00:41:10,066 --> 00:41:11,300
[Chris] We've got a new motor.
600
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:13,634
And if this doesn't work,
we're [bleep].
601
00:41:15,066 --> 00:41:16,800
[steam hissing]
602
00:41:19,266 --> 00:41:20,266
[bleep]
