00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:27,200
[Chris exclaiming]

00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:33,600
[Chris speaking]

00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,500
[Wilson speaking]
5
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:37,800
It's good ground, huh?
6
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:39,333
[Chris speaking]
7
00:00:45,066 --> 00:00:46,700
[motor whirring]

00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,800
[motor sputtering]

00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,400
[motor turns off]
10
00:01:00,867 --> 00:01:01,467
[Chris bleeping]
11
00:01:02,667 --> 00:01:04,700
Oh. [breathing heavily]
12
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:12,233
[Wilson]
Air compressor shut off.
13
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,834
[Chris breathing heavily]
14
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:17,333
[Chris speaking]
15
00:01:17,867 --> 00:01:19,500
[breathing heavily]
16
00:01:20,967 --> 00:01:22,700
[motor sputtering]

[breathing heavily]
18
00:01:34,467 --> 00:01:35,900
[Chris groaning]
19
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,367
[narrator] In gold mining,
striking the mother lode
20
00:01:52,367 --> 00:01:55,266
is a fabled dream
as old as time.
21
00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:59,166
[Shawn] Yeah, there's, like,
$5,000 right there.
22
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:01,100
[laughing]
23
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:04,367
[narrator]
And in the fleet's quest
for those untold riches,
24
00:02:04,367 --> 00:02:06,266
there's a lesson to be learned
25
00:02:06,266 --> 00:02:08,233
in every ice mining tale.
26
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:15,400
[enthralling instrumental
music playing]
27
00:02:27,166 --> 00:02:29,500
Price of gold is skyrocketing.
28
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:32,100
Can't complain about that.
29
00:02:32,367 --> 00:02:33,700
It adds up quick.
30
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:37,266
At the end of the day,
it adds up to be thousands.
31
00:02:37,266 --> 00:02:39,233
I'm excited to get down there.
32
00:02:39,867 --> 00:02:42,200
Gold's looking
really good down there.
33
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,433
Hell, we're ready
to rock and roll.
34
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,767
[narrator]
Nome's resident king
35
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:49,100
is ready
to get back to mining,
36
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,166
and score big
at just the right time.
37
00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:55,000
We're almost at the end
of our free royalty,
38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,800
so if we don't put
gold in the box,
39
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,233
then we lose 15%.
40
00:03:02,166 --> 00:03:05,000
Hopefully, it will be
a smooth day.
41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,867
We got seven more days
before our royalty-free window
42
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:11,867
closes with Vern,
so it's time to make
every minute count.
43
00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:13,700
We were on hot gold
the last dive,
44
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,400
before the pump engine
quit on us.
45
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:16,900
Now we have a new one.
46
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:19,767
I'm ready
to pound this paystreak.
47
00:03:19,767 --> 00:03:23,634
And today
should be the biggest payday
of the season thus far.
48
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,433
Beautiful day to go diving.
49
00:03:37,166 --> 00:03:38,300
Let's do this.
50
00:03:39,567 --> 00:03:40,533
Damn it!
51
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,667
Get this water nice and hot,
52
00:03:43,667 --> 00:03:46,100
pile this umbilical up in here
to thaw it out.
53
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,800
They don't pay to be up top.
54
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,233
We gotta get down below.
55
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:52,867
[man speaking]
56
00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:57,133
[Shawn]
Hopefully sooner than later.
57
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,233
[man laughing]
58
00:04:04,767 --> 00:04:05,900
[man] There she goes.
59
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:08,333
Got hot water.
60
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:11,233
One step closer.
61
00:04:12,367 --> 00:04:14,900
Get the box set up,
get the pump primed.
62
00:04:40,467 --> 00:04:41,800
[Shawn breathing underwater]
63
00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:46,333
[Shawn] Wow.
64
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,100
Mother Nature's
chandeliers, eh?
65
00:04:57,767 --> 00:04:58,967
[Shawn] Oh, yeah.
66
00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:22,500
Yeah. There's all these
nice big rocks here.
67
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:26,500
Lovin' it.
68
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,500
Beautiful-looking
material here.
69
00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:34,400
I'm gonna find the nozzle
and get it over here.
70
00:05:35,867 --> 00:05:37,433
[man 2]
Let's fire this pump up.
71
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:43,333
[Shawn] Got suction now.
72
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:47,433
I see a few little pieces
here and there.
73
00:05:48,166 --> 00:05:50,066
Hasn't turned
into anything yet.
74
00:05:50,066 --> 00:05:54,500
When we move into
this rock a little bit,
see if gets any better.
75
00:05:56,667 --> 00:06:00,467
Well, we're running out
of days off free royalties.
76
00:06:00,467 --> 00:06:03,700
I want to put
some gold in the box.
77
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:08,000
[narrator] While the king
looks to fund his empire
across the ice...
78
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,133
[enthralling instrumental
music playing]
79
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,567
[Chris] Wilson.
Thanks for coming.
80
00:06:21,567 --> 00:06:23,066
And I think the trick is,
we'll just...
81
00:06:23,066 --> 00:06:26,000
get rid of the smudge
and snow.
82
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,567
And then, uh, I'll thaw out
the carburetor with the gun.
83
00:06:29,567 --> 00:06:32,066
[narrator] Nome's young gun
Chris McCully
84
00:06:32,066 --> 00:06:35,367
has added some firepower
to his armory.
85
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:38,600
We'll just fire everything up
and with the box in there,
86
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,967
the heat
of the muffler will...
87
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:42,000
-[Wilson] Saturate the stuff.
-Yeah.
88
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,867
[narrator] Bringing on
a trusted friend and diver
89
00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:48,100
to get his team
back up to full strength.
90
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:50,400
[Wilson] The box should go
over this motor.
91
00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:53,000
[Chris] It fits.
92
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,634
Sweet. Now we just
gotta cut the window.
93
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,367
I started the winter
with hot gold,
94
00:06:58,367 --> 00:07:00,567
but things fell apart
real quick.
95
00:07:00,567 --> 00:07:03,100
I put the spark plugs
in here last night
96
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:04,600
and the threads are stripped.
97
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,900
Look, you guys don't even know
how to put a spark back on.
98
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,233
Idiots.
99
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:11,133
I've dove solo once,
100
00:07:11,133 --> 00:07:13,567
but this is not gonna
work out in the winter.
101
00:07:13,567 --> 00:07:15,867
I need a full team
for the rest of the way.
102
00:07:15,867 --> 00:07:17,500
And I lucked out
getting Wilson.
103
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:18,767
He's a great diver,
104
00:07:18,767 --> 00:07:21,333
and a great tender,
and that's what I need.
105
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:31,066
I got a lot of dramas lately.
106
00:07:31,066 --> 00:07:33,200
It's time for me
to make money now,
107
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,233
and I got the good diver.
108
00:07:35,967 --> 00:07:37,567
This is for the better.
109
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:39,367
We're on a hot
paystreak right now,
110
00:07:39,367 --> 00:07:42,867
and the deeper it goes,
the better the gold.
111
00:07:42,867 --> 00:07:46,800
So today we're gonna go deeper
than we've gone all season.
112
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,500
Almost 40 feet.
113
00:07:50,266 --> 00:07:52,667
All I gotta do now
is just get on my wet suit
114
00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:55,900
and [bleep]
go get some gold, man.
115
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:58,767
All right, G.
It's showtime. Yeah.
116
00:07:58,767 --> 00:08:03,266
Most guys out here
would only go 15
to 25 feet deep.
117
00:08:03,266 --> 00:08:06,567
'Cause it's super dangerous
to go under the ice this deep.
118
00:08:06,567 --> 00:08:07,867
But the gold is so good,
119
00:08:07,867 --> 00:08:09,400
I'm gonna take that risk.
120
00:08:11,667 --> 00:08:13,000
Whoo! Yes!
121
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:15,000
All right.
122
00:08:17,066 --> 00:08:19,800
Whoo! [bleep] yeah, dude.
123
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,600
Time to get some gold, baby!
124
00:08:22,700 --> 00:08:26,867
[narrator] Divers build up
nitrogen gas with every dive.
125
00:08:26,867 --> 00:08:29,767
The deeper the dive,
the faster it builds.
126
00:08:29,767 --> 00:08:30,700
[Shawn groans]
127
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:33,700
Too much can cause
decompression sickness,
128
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,100
known as "the bends."
129
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,333
So, for dives over 33 feet,
130
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,767
divers are limited
to three hours.
131
00:08:43,767 --> 00:08:47,667
And on the way up,
they perform a three-minute
safety stop
132
00:08:47,667 --> 00:08:50,000
to eliminate excess nitrogen.
133
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:51,934
Too quick of an ascent...
134
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:55,900
can cause tissue damage
or even death.
135
00:08:57,667 --> 00:08:59,133
[Wilson]
Comm check, comm check.
136
00:08:59,467 --> 00:09:00,467
[Chris speaking]
137
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:02,500
[Wilson] Yeah, I can hear you.
138
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:19,333
[Chris breathing underwater]
139
00:09:34,467 --> 00:09:35,567
[Chris speaking]
140
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,800
Yeah. Don't wanna
push it too hard.
141
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:43,800
[Chris speaking]
142
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,700
Okay, I got to the bottom.
143
00:10:04,967 --> 00:10:06,400
Nice, sandy bottom.
144
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,100
Yeah. [chuckling]
145
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,900
All right. Copy that.
146
00:10:19,367 --> 00:10:21,233
[motor revving]
147
00:10:28,367 --> 00:10:29,200
[Chris speaking]
148
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,900
How's the ground?
149
00:10:33,266 --> 00:10:34,133
[Chris speaking]
150
00:11:03,166 --> 00:11:04,700
It's good ground, huh?
151
00:11:05,066 --> 00:11:06,634
[Chris speaking]
152
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,667
[Wilson] Yeah.
Chris just got down there,
first dive of the day.
153
00:11:10,667 --> 00:11:12,500
But we're at, like,
almost 40 feet.
154
00:11:19,767 --> 00:11:21,567
[motor sputtering]
155
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:23,133
[motor turns off]
156

[Chris bleeping]
157
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,433
Oh. [breathing heavily]
158
00:11:35,467 --> 00:11:36,800
[Wilson]
Air compressor shut off.
159
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:43,300
[Chris] Oh.
[breathing heavily]
160
00:12:05,967 --> 00:12:08,000
[Wilson] Come up. We're having
air compressor issues.
161
00:12:09,266 --> 00:12:10,300
[Chris speaking]
162
00:12:11,967 --> 00:12:14,333
[breathing heavily
and bleeping]
163
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,700

164
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:26,900

[Wilson speaking]
171
00:12:57,467 --> 00:12:58,867
[Chris speaking]
172
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,133
[Wilson] We're having issues
with the air compressor.
173
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:06,900
We just need a new spark plug.
174
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,500
Should be able to clean it up.
175
00:13:10,767 --> 00:13:11,734
[exclaims]
176
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:13,800
Whoo!
177
00:13:15,266 --> 00:13:17,700
This is why diving deep
is so dangerous.
178
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:20,967
If you're at 20 feet
and your air compressor
goes down,
179
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,000
it's a lot easier
to get to the top.
180
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,467
But when you're at 40 feet,
181
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:26,367
it's a long ways down there.
182
00:13:26,367 --> 00:13:30,300
But the [bleep] part is, uh,
I have a three-minute
safety stop,
183
00:13:30,300 --> 00:13:32,634
so I wasn't able
to complete that.
184
00:13:33,667 --> 00:13:36,200
Um, that's kind of
dangerous too.
185
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,800
So our manager selected
to call it.
186
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:40,467
And, uh...
187
00:13:42,367 --> 00:13:44,900
Yeah, and then we'll have
Wilson back down there.
188
00:13:46,266 --> 00:13:47,934
[motor whirring]
189
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:53,367
It really sucks
that I had to come out so fast
190
00:13:53,367 --> 00:13:56,467
and I was not able to do
my decompression stop.
191
00:13:56,467 --> 00:13:59,066
So it's not safe
to dive again right now.
192
00:13:59,066 --> 00:14:02,367
But even though
we're diving deep,
Wilson can handle it.
193
00:14:02,367 --> 00:14:04,000
He's got the experience.
194
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,900
That's why
having him on the team
195
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,333
is a game changer.
196
00:14:08,767 --> 00:14:11,066
Yeah, we'll just keep
the ball rolling from here.
197
00:14:11,066 --> 00:14:14,100
I feel pretty confident
for him to go back down there
198
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:15,867
because everything
is running smooth.
199
00:14:15,867 --> 00:14:18,500
Uh, the compressor
just had a little issue,
200
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:20,500
but I got that fixed
right away.
201
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,400
He's gonna do just fine.
202
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,700
Get money.
203
00:14:29,967 --> 00:14:31,400
[breathing underwater]
204
00:14:55,767 --> 00:14:57,834
-[Chris] Got to the bottom?
-[Wilson speaking]
205
00:15:01,066 --> 00:15:02,133
[Chris] Copy that.
206
00:15:02,867 --> 00:15:05,233
All right. He's ready. Ready!
207
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:08,400
[breathing underwater]
208
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,600
[motor revving]
209
00:15:19,066 --> 00:15:20,400
[Wilson speaking]
210
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:37,367
And there we have it.
Wilson's back in the water.
211
00:15:37,367 --> 00:15:39,433
And we're making money, baby!
212
00:15:40,367 --> 00:15:41,033
Whoo!
213
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:43,900
That's the greatest feeling.
214
00:15:48,367 --> 00:15:49,700
[enthralling instrumental
music playing]
215
00:15:49,700 --> 00:15:51,000
[narrator] Seven miles east.
216
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,100
[Kris] Okay,
let's break in the action.
217
00:16:04,667 --> 00:16:09,567
The plan right now
is to get Andy in the hole
as fast as we can.
218
00:16:09,567 --> 00:16:10,667
We're on gold,
219
00:16:10,667 --> 00:16:12,266
we're following in a line,
220
00:16:12,266 --> 00:16:15,467
and now we've got to track
it down like wild hounds.
221
00:16:15,467 --> 00:16:17,367
[narrator] Since the beginning
of the season...
222
00:16:17,367 --> 00:16:19,867
[Kris]
I'm gonna, like, concentrate
on keeping it cheap,
223
00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:22,367
making our dollar holler,
you know?
224
00:16:22,367 --> 00:16:24,367
Like, I'm not spending
any money.
225
00:16:24,367 --> 00:16:26,800
And I don't want to hear
any complaints.
226
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,367
[narrator] ...Captain Kris
has concentrated
on keeping it thrifty.
227
00:16:30,367 --> 00:16:32,266
John, status report.
228
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:34,367
[narrator]
And after a rough start...
229
00:16:34,367 --> 00:16:35,900
[John laughs mockingly]
230
00:16:36,667 --> 00:16:37,500
[John speaking]
231
00:16:38,900 --> 00:16:40,500
Yeah!
232
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,000
[narrator]
...the threadbare operation
finally bore fruit.
233
00:16:44,367 --> 00:16:45,834
[John speaking]
234
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,767
[Kris] And this is where
the skill comes in.
We got this.
235
00:16:50,767 --> 00:16:53,100
[narrator] Now,
Reaper Nation is ready
236
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,100
to finally rack up
big numbers.
237
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,700
[Kris] Okay.
You ready to rock and roll?
238
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:00,967
Arms out.
239
00:17:01,567 --> 00:17:04,433
I took a gamble on this claim
nobody else cared about.
240
00:17:05,266 --> 00:17:07,166
It looked like
a dumpster fire at first,
241
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:09,300
but we tapped
into a hot paystreak.
242
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,033
Okay. You ready?
243
00:17:11,767 --> 00:17:13,400
Let me look. Hold on.
244
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:15,767
I need Andy to feed on it.
245
00:17:15,767 --> 00:17:17,834
We're way behind
at this point.
246
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,900
All right!
247
00:17:28,900 --> 00:17:30,467
You know the job.
248
00:17:30,467 --> 00:17:32,100
You know what to do.
249
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,100
Make that money at all costs.
250
00:17:58,667 --> 00:18:01,500
Andy's like a whale.
Terrible on land,
251
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:05,033
but underneath the water,
that mother [bleep] can move.
252
00:18:15,166 --> 00:18:16,033
[Andy speaking]
253
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:18,000
[Kris] Okay.
254
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:20,734
Idle up.
255
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,867
I know you
just got down there, homey,
256
00:18:27,867 --> 00:18:30,800
but what
do you think we're seeing
for a dollar figure?
257
00:18:32,066 --> 00:18:33,233
[Andy speaking]
258
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,934
Okay. Well, keep up
the good work, then.
259
00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:40,600
[Andy speaking]
260
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,200
[Kris] Okay, that's good.
261
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,233
I like a little bit more
of a chipper attitude.
262
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,100
[Andy speaking]
263
00:18:58,867 --> 00:19:01,500
So I can hear
you're in a good mood.
264
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:03,033
[Andy speaking]
265
00:19:05,467 --> 00:19:06,567
[Kris] Andy's in a good mood.
266
00:19:06,567 --> 00:19:08,000
That means he's seeing
a lot of gold.
267
00:19:12,367 --> 00:19:14,467
So, you see
we're on some gold, huh?
268
00:19:14,467 --> 00:19:15,300
[Andy speaking]
269
00:19:18,266 --> 00:19:19,767
[Kris] Yeah, baby!
270
00:19:24,667 --> 00:19:27,900
Um, he's in a really good mood
because if he wasn't on gold,
271
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:30,467
he'd be in a whiny bitch mood
and he wouldn't let me
talk to him.
272
00:19:30,467 --> 00:19:33,000
But right now,
everything's going good.
273
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,900
[man 3 speaking]
274
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,200
[Kris] Everything okay?
275
00:19:41,767 --> 00:19:43,266
-[man 3 speaking]
-[Kris speaking]
276
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:44,133
[man 3 speaking]
277
00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:45,734
[Kris speaking]
278
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:48,734
[man 3 speaking]
279
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,700
[Kris speaking]
280
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,100
Andy's on great gold,
so we should be raking
in the ounces.
281
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:02,367
But I don't really know
if we are
282
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:05,400
because the sluice box
sprung a leak.
283
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,166
Some of the material
isn't processing through
the box.
284
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:09,567
It's just flying
out the front.
285
00:20:09,567 --> 00:20:11,567
And I'm sure gold is in it.
286
00:20:11,567 --> 00:20:13,367
Maybe it's a lot,
maybe it's a little.
287
00:20:13,367 --> 00:20:15,533
There's no way
to tell right now.
288
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,567
We're leaking holes
out of the front of the box.
289
00:20:19,567 --> 00:20:22,166
Right now, though,
we're not gonna
pick [bleep].
290
00:20:22,166 --> 00:20:24,066
We're gonna run
the rest of the day
291
00:20:24,066 --> 00:20:26,100
and just see where we come out
at the end of the day.
292
00:20:28,166 --> 00:20:29,900
I'm not into catch
and release.
293
00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:33,200
But you lose more money
when you don't mine.
294
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:34,400
[Kris] You know?
295
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,600
If we try to fix
that box right now,
296
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,166
we'd have to shut down
297
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:41,133
and it'll cost us
a couple of hours.
298
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,166
As a captain,
I'm making a judgment call.
299
00:20:45,166 --> 00:20:47,100
It's better to work
with a [bleep] sluice box
300
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:49,767
than try to take the time
to fix it.
301
00:20:49,767 --> 00:20:51,667
I'm guessing
the leak isn't too bad
302
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:53,266
and we'll still make money.
303
00:20:53,266 --> 00:20:55,767
I hope the gold gods
are with me.
304
00:20:55,767 --> 00:20:58,800
When you come out,
John jumped straight in.
305
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,433
I don't wanna [bleep] around
and waste any time.
306
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,900
[Andy speaking]
307
00:21:03,367 --> 00:21:04,333
Okay.
308
00:21:05,467 --> 00:21:07,667
Gold looks good down there.
309
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:10,233
I hope we have something
to look at in the back.
310
00:21:18,667 --> 00:21:19,567
[Joe over radio] Hey, Shawn.
311
00:21:19,567 --> 00:21:21,367
[Shawn over radio]
Yeah, go ahead, Joe.
312
00:21:21,367 --> 00:21:23,367
[Joe] What you see down there?
313
00:21:23,367 --> 00:21:24,467
[Shawn breathing underwater]
314
00:21:24,467 --> 00:21:26,567
I, I'm seeing a piece here,
315
00:21:26,567 --> 00:21:27,367
a piece there,
316
00:21:27,367 --> 00:21:29,700
trying to sniff it out
right now.
317
00:21:36,767 --> 00:21:39,000
[narrator] After long hours
under the ice,
318
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,667
the king's confidence
is slowly fading
319
00:21:42,667 --> 00:21:45,233
along with any sign of gold.
320
00:21:46,567 --> 00:21:50,467
-[radio static]
-[Shawn speaking]
321
00:21:50,467 --> 00:21:53,634
We're making just enough
to cover expenses.
322
00:21:54,767 --> 00:21:56,133
That's no fun.
323
00:21:58,767 --> 00:22:00,600
We might have to move.
324
00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:05,200
You're not seeing it,
you're not making it.
325
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:08,333
[Joe] All right.
326
00:22:09,567 --> 00:22:11,734
[Shawn over radio]
But I've had enough
for one day.
327
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:15,900
Get the hell out of here.
328
00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:18,800
-[radio static]
-[Joe over radio] 10-4.
329
00:22:41,967 --> 00:22:44,800
[Shawn speaking]
330
00:22:45,667 --> 00:22:48,800
[Joe speaking]
331
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:50,533
[Shawn speaking]
332
00:22:57,667 --> 00:22:59,867
[Joe] I think we'll find it
somewhere nearby.
333
00:22:59,867 --> 00:23:02,233
[Shawn speaking]
334
00:23:26,166 --> 00:23:28,100
I thought today
was gonna be massive.
335
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:29,700
Easily our best day
336
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,700
to start setting
this season on fire.
337
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:33,266
But I was totally wrong.
338
00:23:33,266 --> 00:23:35,400
Instead,
we probably need to move.
339
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,300
We only have a few days
of royalty free mining left.
340
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:40,667
So, I don't wanna waste time
right now.
341
00:23:40,667 --> 00:23:42,767
We'll see what the scale says.
342
00:23:42,767 --> 00:23:44,000
But it doesn't look good.
343
00:23:44,567 --> 00:23:46,000
That's the way it goes.
344
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,133
You win some, you lose some.
345
00:23:49,100 --> 00:23:50,600
It's not going well at all.
346
00:23:51,667 --> 00:23:54,200
[narrator]
As the king humbly retreats...
347
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:01,266
[Kris] Talk to me.
348
00:24:01,266 --> 00:24:03,233
[over radio] So,
how much money
are you making me?
349
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:05,233
[Andy speaking]
350
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:14,734
That's my dawg.
351
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,467
Go sniff that [bleep] out.
352
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:20,767
[narrator]
Despite the loose sluice,
353
00:24:20,767 --> 00:24:22,867
the thrifty miner still feels
354
00:24:22,867 --> 00:24:25,300
he's on the winning side
of the ledger.
355
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:30,467
I really need this gold
to build up my crawler
356
00:24:30,467 --> 00:24:32,567
and keep making
my empire bigger.
357
00:24:32,567 --> 00:24:33,700
So, good job, buddy.
358
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:36,533
[Andy over radio]
359
00:24:37,467 --> 00:24:38,700
[Kris]
I'm rolling the dice here.
360
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:40,967
It's possible the sluice box
is so messed up,
361
00:24:40,967 --> 00:24:43,367
we're barely making
anything right now.
362
00:24:43,367 --> 00:24:45,000
But we can't afford
to stop mining
363
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,567
and jerry-rig something,
364
00:24:46,567 --> 00:24:47,767
Andy's on great gold,
365
00:24:47,767 --> 00:24:49,834
so I'm feeling good
about our chances.
366
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,900
[Andy speaking]
367
00:25:03,967 --> 00:25:05,233
[Kris] [bleep], man.
368
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:08,200
[Andy] Ah.
369
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:18,800
[Kris] Okay, you're done.
370
00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:25,467
[Andy] I'm coming up.
371
00:25:25,467 --> 00:25:27,767
So, he had a great dive.
He made a lot of gold.
372
00:25:27,767 --> 00:25:29,367
Everything's good.
373
00:25:29,367 --> 00:25:32,100
Um, he's-- uh,
gloves breaking apart.
374
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,467
Andy's at risk
of getting hypothermia.
375
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:37,467
We gotta get him up ASAP.
376
00:25:37,467 --> 00:25:39,567
But I'm still not stopping
to fix the box.
377
00:25:39,567 --> 00:25:41,400
We're gonna get John down
and keep going.
378
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,567
We need to make
every penny we can.
379
00:25:43,567 --> 00:25:45,800
And at this point,
we need a lot of pennies.
380
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:52,100
Yeah, baby.
381
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:56,567
-And that's how an orca
goes up on the ice to get...
-[Andy speaking]
382
00:25:56,567 --> 00:25:57,467
[man] Good job.
383
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,066
[Andy] I tried to go
as much as I could.
384
00:26:01,066 --> 00:26:02,433
[Kris] You did a great job.
385
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,233
[Andy] I got the two tone.
386
00:26:05,233 --> 00:26:07,133
-[Kris] Yeah,
you got a little frostbite.
-[Andy] Oh, boy.
387
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,900
[Andy speaking]
388
00:26:10,667 --> 00:26:11,834
Oh, [bleep].
389
00:26:13,567 --> 00:26:15,500
[Kris speaking]
390
00:26:20,567 --> 00:26:21,800
[John] All right.
391
00:26:30,867 --> 00:26:32,367
Andy found a lot of gold.
392
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:34,700
And we gotta keep going on
with this momentum,
393
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:36,500
we'll just see
what you can see.
394
00:26:36,500 --> 00:26:37,900
-[John speaking]
-Okay, good luck.
395
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,033
Hey, John.
How's it going down there?
396
00:26:53,467 --> 00:26:54,767
[John over radio]
397
00:27:00,967 --> 00:27:03,800
[Kris] Okay, sounds great.
Keep up the good work.
398
00:27:04,767 --> 00:27:06,333
We got a couple
of little problems.
399
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,834
But nothing I can't handle.
400
00:27:17,700 --> 00:27:19,333
[Kris] How's it going
down there?
401
00:27:21,367 --> 00:27:23,500
[John speaking]
402
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,467
Well, that's great news.
403
00:27:27,467 --> 00:27:29,667
[narrator] After six hours
and two dives,
404
00:27:29,667 --> 00:27:33,000
Kris is satisfied
with mining down below.
405
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,867
[Kris speaking]
406
00:27:35,867 --> 00:27:37,433
We gotta make sure
we get our goal.
407
00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,367
[narrator] But the money
conscious captain's
408
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:43,500
got a plan to do
a little mining topside too.
409
00:27:46,166 --> 00:27:47,700
[Kris speaking]
410
00:27:54,767 --> 00:27:57,200
[John speaking]
411
00:28:01,967 --> 00:28:03,867
PJ, drop that rope.
412
00:28:03,867 --> 00:28:06,266
John's done for his side
for the day.
413
00:28:06,266 --> 00:28:09,867
Right now,
we're gonna attach
the nozzle to a rope.
414
00:28:09,867 --> 00:28:12,166
We're gonna bring up
the nozzle to the top,
415
00:28:12,166 --> 00:28:13,867
we're gonna suck up that area,
416
00:28:13,867 --> 00:28:16,333
where the holes went
underneath the sluice box.
417
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,867
All day long,
418
00:28:20,867 --> 00:28:22,900
this sluice box
has been leaking material
from the front.
419
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:25,266
So, the gold should've
poured right next to it.
420
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:28,000
And I'm not leaving
a bunch of money
sitting on the ice.
421
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,900
We're gonna use the nozzle
to suck the gold off the ice.
422
00:28:35,567 --> 00:28:37,600
[Kris] I've never
done this before,
423
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,700
and I hope this goes
really good.
424
00:28:41,166 --> 00:28:42,266
The truth is,
425
00:28:42,266 --> 00:28:44,700
you should never use
the nozzle out of the water
426
00:28:44,700 --> 00:28:47,567
to suck up anything
off the ice.
427
00:28:47,567 --> 00:28:50,166
It can lead to a disaster.
428
00:28:50,166 --> 00:28:53,700
Like a [bleep]
fire hose disaster.
429
00:28:54,667 --> 00:28:57,900
The risk is if we suck up
too much air at once,
430
00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:01,467
it'll shoot a rooster tail
40, 50 feet away.
431
00:29:01,467 --> 00:29:04,600
Just stand by,
idle it up slowly,
432
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,934
and don't get crazy.
433
00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,100
The nozzle's designed
to suck up water.
434
00:29:09,100 --> 00:29:12,066
Our whole system
is designed to suck up water.
435
00:29:12,066 --> 00:29:14,066
If you start sucking up air,
436
00:29:14,066 --> 00:29:15,367
that could blast out the box
437
00:29:15,367 --> 00:29:17,266
and blast all the gold
out the back.
438
00:29:17,266 --> 00:29:19,233
So, hopefully,
that won't happen.
439
00:29:20,367 --> 00:29:21,300
Idle up.
440
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
[machine starts whirring]
441
00:29:29,166 --> 00:29:30,066
It's working!
442
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:34,333
-[man 2 speaking]
-[Kris] A little more.
443
00:29:38,166 --> 00:29:39,200
[man 2 speaking]
444
00:29:39,767 --> 00:29:40,800
[Kris] Idle up.
445
00:29:46,767 --> 00:29:49,100
[Andy speaking]
446
00:29:49,667 --> 00:29:50,934
[Kris speaking]
447
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:53,867
[explodes]
448
00:29:53,867 --> 00:29:54,834
[man] Oh!
449
00:29:55,767 --> 00:29:58,600
[Kris speaking]
450
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:05,033
[machine stops]
451
00:30:05,767 --> 00:30:07,133
[Andy speaking]
452
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:11,700
[Kris] Damn.
453
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:15,066
-[man 2 speaking]
-[Kris laughs]
454
00:30:15,066 --> 00:30:17,400
-Are you okay?
-[man 2 laughs] Yeah.
455
00:30:21,467 --> 00:30:23,000
Uh, that's bad.
456
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
We probably did lose
a little bit of gold
457
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,667
when the rooster tail
happened.
458
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:32,166
So, this idea
was not the best idea
I've ever had.
459
00:30:32,166 --> 00:30:36,567
Definitely won't go down
in the Hall of Fame
of great ideas.
460
00:30:36,567 --> 00:30:38,767
It blasted the sluice box
pretty good
461
00:30:38,767 --> 00:30:40,767
and material sprayed all over.
462
00:30:40,767 --> 00:30:43,867
There's a good chance
this idea cost us gold.
463
00:30:43,867 --> 00:30:45,867
Hopefully,
after six hours on gold,
464
00:30:45,867 --> 00:30:47,567
we still have
a strong cleanup.
465
00:30:47,567 --> 00:30:49,800
But now, I'm not so sure.
466
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,133
I'm gonna turn the air off.
467
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:56,266
At least we got the gold
468
00:30:56,266 --> 00:30:58,667
and hopefully we kept
most of it.
469
00:30:58,667 --> 00:31:01,500
It is--
Look, it is what it is,
at this point.
470
00:31:02,767 --> 00:31:04,066
Hopefully, we get money.
471
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:11,200
[narrator] As the sun sets
on the frozen land
of dreams...
472
00:31:18,767 --> 00:31:19,867
[Chris]
How we doing down there?
473
00:31:19,867 --> 00:31:22,133
-[radio static]
-[Wilson speaking]
474
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:31,567
[Chris speaking]
475
00:31:31,567 --> 00:31:34,166
[narrator] ...Wilson hits
the three-hour mark.
476
00:31:34,166 --> 00:31:35,967
And it's clear that today,
477
00:31:35,967 --> 00:31:39,700
the McCully team
was not out of their depth.
478
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:45,834
[Chris over radio]
All right, Wilson, uh, come up
whenever you're ready.
479
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,900
[Wilson speaking]
480
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,100
[Chris] Yeah, do your, uh,
481
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:56,500
do a three minute
safety stuff.
482
00:31:58,300 --> 00:31:59,400
[Wilson speaking]
483
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,200
[Chris] That's it, Wilson.
It's done.
484
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,133
We got all our dives in.
485
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:16,600
Wow.
486
00:32:17,266 --> 00:32:19,367
It's been a long day.
487
00:32:19,367 --> 00:32:21,400
I knew diving deep
could be risky.
488
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,266
And most teams
couldn't pull it off.
489
00:32:23,266 --> 00:32:26,000
But we are pushing six hours
and you know what?
490
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,767
And that box
is gonna get lit up.
491
00:32:27,767 --> 00:32:29,700
You gotta be in it to win it.
492
00:32:36,166 --> 00:32:38,300
We're making money.
We're crushing it.
493
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:41,500
And it's time for payday.
494
00:32:43,967 --> 00:32:46,000
Life could not get any better
than this.
495
00:32:50,834 --> 00:32:52,500
Hello and welcome
to another episode
496
00:32:52,500 --> 00:32:55,266
of Kris Kelly's Secret Guide
to successful mining.
497
00:32:55,266 --> 00:32:57,066
Today we're gonna be talking
about safety
498
00:32:57,066 --> 00:32:58,600
and cost of safety.
499
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,500
How much safety
can you afford?
500
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:02,867
-[Andy] None.
-You know, Andy, please stop.
501
00:33:03,133 --> 00:33:04,266
No talking.
502
00:33:04,266 --> 00:33:05,533
Here we go.
503
00:33:05,533 --> 00:33:10,166
A real reliable,
dependable snow machine
costs about 20 grand.
504
00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:11,033
That's a lot of safety.
505
00:33:11,033 --> 00:33:13,000
Andy, how do you feel
about 20 grand?
506
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,066
Way too much safety.
507
00:33:14,066 --> 00:33:16,133
That's too much safety,
Andy says.
508
00:33:16,133 --> 00:33:17,367
I like the $3000 safety.
509
00:33:17,367 --> 00:33:19,600
Andy likes the $3000 safety,
510
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,967
and bless his heart for that.
511
00:33:20,967 --> 00:33:23,767
Because that's the kind
of safety we can afford.
512
00:33:23,767 --> 00:33:26,266
Now we're gonna talk
about if there's four of us,
513
00:33:26,266 --> 00:33:28,967
we're 10 miles out of town,
the blizzard hits,
514
00:33:28,967 --> 00:33:30,767
what would you do if you knew
515
00:33:30,767 --> 00:33:33,734
that only one snow machine
was coming to save you?
516
00:33:33,734 --> 00:33:35,166
How are you gonna get
517
00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:40,300
a 1000 plus pounds
back to town?
518
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:41,567
This is what we would do.
519
00:33:41,567 --> 00:33:42,767
We would all get on
the snow machine,
520
00:33:42,767 --> 00:33:45,033
I tell you to go
get that shovel,
521
00:33:45,033 --> 00:33:47,967
-and we would drive away
while you go and get it.
-[all laugh]
522
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:58,133
[Shawn] I really don't see
a whole lot.
523
00:34:00,066 --> 00:34:02,000
[Joe] Pretty clean pan, eh?
524
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,867
A little bit
of fine stuff, but...
525
00:34:03,867 --> 00:34:05,834
[Shawn] I wanna see more gold.
526
00:34:05,834 --> 00:34:06,800
[narrator] As the king braces
527
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,834
for the looming unwanted
royalty payments,
528
00:34:09,834 --> 00:34:12,900
his once high hopes
have turned dim.
529
00:34:13,767 --> 00:34:15,367
[Shawn] Let's see
what we got here.
530
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:26,500
One, two, three, four, five...
531
00:34:30,367 --> 00:34:31,967
Six point one.
532
00:34:32,767 --> 00:34:33,700
Not good.
533
00:34:35,066 --> 00:34:37,367
Could be way better.
534
00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:41,367
[narrator]
Six point one ounces
brings in at over 14 grand,
535
00:34:41,367 --> 00:34:43,266
far from what Shawn was after.
536
00:34:46,734 --> 00:34:49,166
And the confident king learns,
537
00:34:49,166 --> 00:34:52,400
never to count his chickens
before they hatch.
538
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:57,767
Well, just have to get back
out there and get after it.
539
00:34:57,767 --> 00:35:00,500
Well, I think
I got ahead of myself.
540
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:02,967
We're at the end
of our royalty free days,
541
00:35:02,967 --> 00:35:04,600
and the gold's drying up.
542
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,867
We're gonna have to move.
543
00:35:05,867 --> 00:35:08,867
And this time,
I have to make sure
we're on killer gold.
544
00:35:08,867 --> 00:35:11,600
Otherwise, I'm not gonna hit
my goal for the season.
545
00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:22,600
We got a long ways to go.
546
00:35:26,467 --> 00:35:28,800
There's still a lot of gold
left in that ocean.
547
00:35:31,367 --> 00:35:32,500
[narrator] Down the road...
548
00:35:35,934 --> 00:35:37,300
[Kris] Are you seeing gold?
549
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:40,233
Lots of fines.
550
00:35:40,233 --> 00:35:44,266
[narrator]
...the thrifty miner is hoping
the gold was so good,
551
00:35:44,266 --> 00:35:48,467
he made the right call,
not fixing the loose sluice.
552
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:51,266
[Kris] Okay,
this is what we got.
553
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:57,300
The problem is,
I don't need a scale to know
I got [bleep].
554
00:35:57,300 --> 00:35:58,900
[narrator]
But that's not gonna happen.
555
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:03,166
[Kris] I knew
I was getting gold.
556
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:05,467
Andy, man,
Andy gets me all pumped up.
557
00:36:05,467 --> 00:36:06,667
John gets me all pumped up.
558
00:36:06,667 --> 00:36:08,467
Everybody's hooping
and hollering.
559
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:09,333
[Andy] We're all seeing it.
560
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:12,033
[Kris] Yeah, well,
it's not in the box.
561
00:36:12,033 --> 00:36:15,166
I kept telling myself,
"I hope it wiggled in there."
562
00:36:15,834 --> 00:36:16,700
So, I know gold.
563
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:18,600
And I'm looking
at this pile of gold
564
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,767
after two long days
of working,
565
00:36:20,767 --> 00:36:22,133
and it kinda blows.
566
00:36:22,133 --> 00:36:24,000
The leak in the box
probably killed us.
567
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,467
And honestly,
so did my plan
with the nozzle.
568
00:36:27,467 --> 00:36:28,800
Let's see where we end up.
569
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:31,000
Here we go.
570
00:36:36,266 --> 00:36:37,300
We're working hard.
571
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,867
We're moving a lot.
572
00:36:39,166 --> 00:36:40,367
That's two ounces.
573
00:36:40,967 --> 00:36:42,734
There's three ounces, come on.
574
00:36:42,734 --> 00:36:44,767
Gold just went up 10 percent.
575
00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:46,300
This is our chance.
576
00:36:46,300 --> 00:36:48,000
I got a lot of bills
this summer.
577
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,700
My baby needs new toys.
578
00:36:52,834 --> 00:36:55,166
A little over six ounces.
579
00:36:55,166 --> 00:36:57,567
Uh, like I said,
we can do better.
580
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:59,867
Let's just keep grinding away.
581
00:36:59,867 --> 00:37:03,233
[narrator] Six ounces is worth
a little over 14 grand,
582
00:37:03,233 --> 00:37:06,166
likely less than
they would've pulled in
583
00:37:06,166 --> 00:37:08,367
if they'd fixed the box.
584
00:37:09,767 --> 00:37:13,233
And the thrifty miner
finds the true meaning
585
00:37:13,233 --> 00:37:16,066
of penny wise
and pound foolish.
586
00:37:17,266 --> 00:37:19,166
We know we were on gold
though, right?
587
00:37:19,166 --> 00:37:22,000
We saw it.
Everything was going decent.
588
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,233
[Andy] I thought it was.
589
00:37:23,233 --> 00:37:24,934
-The hunches I was on
paid out pretty good.
-[Kris] Uh...
590
00:37:24,934 --> 00:37:27,266
We gotta do something
about the box, right?
591
00:37:27,266 --> 00:37:28,500
-[man 3] Yep.
-Box?
592
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,667
New sluice box is, like,
$68,000.
593
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,667
You're gonna get it
sent up from California.
594
00:37:34,667 --> 00:37:38,567
It's a [bleep] nightmare, uh,
especially this time of year.
595
00:37:38,567 --> 00:37:40,500
The good news is
we're on great gold.
596
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,166
And that's the hardest part
of mining,
597
00:37:42,166 --> 00:37:43,300
and we've accomplished that.
598
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:46,133
The bad news is
we can't afford
a new sluice box.
599
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:47,266
So, we're gonna do a quick fix
600
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:49,000
and see if that does
the trick.
601
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,100
But we might be stuck
602
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:53,500
in a "need to spend money
to make money" situation.
603
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:54,333
We'll see.
604
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,700
-Anyways, let's go to work.
-[claps]
605
00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:08,300
Well, that was
a kick in the nuts.
606
00:38:11,266 --> 00:38:12,400
[narrator] By the harbor...
607
00:38:20,734 --> 00:38:22,166
[Chris] All right.
608
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:23,600
So far, it's looking good.
609
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:27,033
I wanna see
what we have today.
610
00:38:27,033 --> 00:38:29,033
[narrator] With the push
into deeper ground
611
00:38:29,033 --> 00:38:30,734
and the addition of Wilson,
612
00:38:30,734 --> 00:38:35,066
the young gun's deep dive
may yield deep pockets.
613
00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:37,133
[Chris] I'm diving deep.
614
00:38:37,133 --> 00:38:39,767
Not a lot of people
tap into the deeper water,
615
00:38:39,767 --> 00:38:42,767
because you need to
really be experienced,
616
00:38:42,767 --> 00:38:45,467
and, you know,
you really need to know
your stuff.
617
00:38:45,467 --> 00:38:46,767
You know, I, I lucked out
618
00:38:46,767 --> 00:38:49,367
because I got Wilson
right now.
619
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:51,233
And I think
we're gonna be golden.
620
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:54,000
All right,
let's lay it out on the scale.
621
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,233
There's 200 grams.
622
00:39:00,233 --> 00:39:01,734
Three hundred grams.
623
00:39:08,033 --> 00:39:12,367
Three hundred
ninety eight grams
divided by 31.1.
624
00:39:12,367 --> 00:39:13,400
What do you got?
625
00:39:13,767 --> 00:39:15,867
Ooh, 12.7.
626
00:39:15,867 --> 00:39:18,066
Wow.
This ground's really good.
627
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:20,233
Really, really good.
628
00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:25,767
[narrator]
Twelve point seven ounces
cashes in at over 29 grand,
629
00:39:25,767 --> 00:39:29,066
proving sometimes
the greater risk
630
00:39:29,066 --> 00:39:31,000
comes with a greater reward.
631
00:39:33,767 --> 00:39:37,500
And the young gun vaults
to the top of the gold count.
632
00:39:39,867 --> 00:39:41,667
[Chris] Yeah,
it's such a relief, you know,
633
00:39:41,667 --> 00:39:46,133
like, all that hard work,
all that risk that I've taken,
634
00:39:46,867 --> 00:39:48,233
now I'll pay you off.
635
00:39:48,233 --> 00:39:49,266
The sky is the limit.
636
00:39:49,266 --> 00:39:51,600
All I gotta do now
is just fine tune everything,
637
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,433
you know, and my numbers
will go up from here.
638
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:05,634
Gold price is skyrocketing.
639
00:40:06,166 --> 00:40:08,367
And wow, yeah, I'm just,
640
00:40:08,367 --> 00:40:10,767
I'm excited to go out there
again tomorrow
641
00:40:10,767 --> 00:40:14,066
and just sweep that ground up.
642
00:40:14,066 --> 00:40:16,367
All I gotta do is just go out
and get it.
643
00:40:16,467 --> 00:40:17,400
Wow.
644
00:40:18,967 --> 00:40:20,533
[narrator]
There's a new leader in town,
645
00:40:21,233 --> 00:40:24,166
while Mr. Gold
falls to second place
646
00:40:24,867 --> 00:40:27,133
and Kris Kelly inches up.
647
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:30,266
Next time...
648
00:40:30,266 --> 00:40:32,166
We got neighbors
closing in on me.
649
00:40:32,166 --> 00:40:33,867
[narrator]
...on Bering Sea Gold...
650
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:35,800
This claim's starting
to get real small.
651
00:40:37,767 --> 00:40:39,700
Maybe Vern's gonna have
a heart attack.
652
00:40:44,467 --> 00:40:46,867
-[man 4] Whoo.
-[man 5 laughing]
653
00:40:47,767 --> 00:40:50,266
Are you ready
to suck today's gold?
654
00:40:50,266 --> 00:40:51,467
[John over radio] Yeah!
655
00:40:51,467 --> 00:40:53,166
[Kris speaking]
656
00:40:53,166 --> 00:40:56,600
It's working. It's working!
657
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,867
-[sputtering]
-[Kris speaking]
658
00:40:58,867 --> 00:41:01,467
It looks like this could be
the end of this motor.
659
00:41:01,467 --> 00:41:04,367
-We're in the money.
-[Kris] Nothing's gonna
stop us.
660
00:41:05,367 --> 00:41:06,734
[John speaking]
661
00:41:06,734 --> 00:41:08,166
[Kris over radio] Yeah!
662
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:10,066
-[machine stops]
-[Kris speaking]
663
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,166
[Chris]
Time to get some gold, baby.
664
00:41:15,166 --> 00:41:17,100
Seven, eight...
665
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:17,967
Nice.
666
00:41:17,967 --> 00:41:19,867
[Vernon]
Looks like a nice pile there.
