1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,640
This time on Aussie Gold Hunters...

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,280
Nothing in that at all.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,560
Nope, bust.

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,440
If we don't get onto something soon,

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,360
it's a waste of time
and money being out here.

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,760
..the Gold Devils search for gold
on new ground...

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,480
That's definitely gunshots.

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,080
You're not supposed to be here.

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,160
..but an armed man brings their
exploration mission to a halt.

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,680
I'm not stopping now.

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,760
Let's just get in there.

12
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,160
Jacqui and Andrew continue to fight

13
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,280
the punishing terrain
of the tropical Palmer river..

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,720
If the map's right, there's going
to be a lot of gold around here.

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,440
..pushing themselves to exhaustion to
produce a bumper haul of fine gold.

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,320
Oh, have a look at this.

17
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Yes!

18
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:43,520
Pressure is really on.

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,840
A lot of money going into this.

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,640
You guys need to get me 10oz a week.
Not negotiable.

21
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,200
..and the Ferals strike a new deal...

22
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,400
Whoa.

23
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:51,680
Let's go!

24
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,680
..but must fend off poachers

25
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,200
before they unearth the biggest gold
nugget of their mining careers.

26
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,280
(LAUGHTER)

27
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,480
That is gold!

28
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Unbelievable.

29
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,400
Alright, here we go.

30
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,600
I just picked a big load up.

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,520
So we are doing our first cut,

32
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,320
chomping at the bit to just push
this top off.

33
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,440
We are on gold ground now
so this is what you dream about.

34
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520
This is what you want to be doing.

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,040
In Western Australia's scorching
Pilbara region,

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,680
our guns for hire prospectors,

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,760
the Ferals - Levi North, Ryan
Peters and Nathan Moncrieff.

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,480
(MACHINE WAILS)

39
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,800
Oh, yeah.

40
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,640
You know when you come across
patches like this, it's insane, man.

41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,080
It's so much fun.

42
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,240
(LAUGHS)

43
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Yeah, look at that. That's a nice
little spessy, that one.

44
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,440
I'm stoked. We are on it,
mate. We are on it, baby. Ha ha!

45
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,440
At this point in time, we've got
7oz in our pockets.

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,920
That's not enough.

47
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Levi's just out the back there now
in the machine

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,840
and he's clearing some ground for us
to detect

49
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,000
but, with the machine,
comes conditions.

50
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,240
Kim is going to be coming out

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440
and letting us know so just waiting
to find out

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,320
what those conditions are.

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Normally with Kim,
you get the machine,

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,200
you need to find bigger gold.

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Looks like Kim is coming in, fellas.

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,880
If you fellas want to keep going,
I'll sort out the deal.

57
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200
Yeah, Roger, mate. We'll just keep
detecting, brother.

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,880
You let us know how you go.

59
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Always super nervous when Kim comes
over to the site,

60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,680
he wants to talk to us.

61
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Hopefully he'll come up with some
sort of good deal for us.

62
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Boys, I think your Christmases have
come early. I'm really excited.

63
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,800
We've picked up a nice piece of
ground for you to work.

64
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,720
This season, the Ferals struck a deal

65
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,960
with Levi's uncle, mining
magnate Kim North.

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,920
Probably an equal share'd be OK

67
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,760
but no gear, no machinery
until you guys find a patch.

68
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Then when we get a digger involved,

69
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,840
if we get a digger involved,
then re-negotiate?

70
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:06,640
Yeah, yeah. It all changes.

71
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,200
Kim hired the Ferals to locate
rich pockets of gold

72
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,240
across his 60 plus leases
which cover 30 square kilometres.

73
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Oh, my goodness.

74
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,640
(LAUGHS)

75
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,280
I reckon that's 20g club for sure.

76
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,080
And after promising results at his
Mount Shovel lease,

77
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Kim decided to
send bigger machinery to site.

78
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,080
But new machinery means the Ferals
must strike a new deal.

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,120
How are you going, young fella?

80
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Good, Kim.

81
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,360
Yeah.

82
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,760
What are you expecting gold wise?

83
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,120
The pressure is really on.
A lot of money going into this.

84
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,960
You guys need to get me 10oz a week.

85
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,480
Whoa.

86
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Alright, well, that's a bit
of a task.

87
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Not negotiable.

88
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,520
Are you happy with 70, 30?

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,560
OK, if you guys want 70, you're
paying the cost on that.

90
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,480
We'll take the fuel and stuff out
of your 70.

91
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,360
OK, if we cover the fuel,
we get 70, 30?

92
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,560
Done.

93
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Done. Alright, thanks mate.

94
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Kim set us quite a high target
with our first week out here.

95
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,640
It's a challenge.

96
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,520
So what's the deal, mate?

97
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,360
It's literally make or break
right now.

98
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,000
He wants 10oz a week.

99
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,600
70, 30 split.

100
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,520
70 our way and we've got to cover
the diesel though if we want 70%.

101
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,920
Wow.

102
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,480
You know, he set the bar high
but that was to be expected.

103
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Yeah, stakes are really high,
fellas.

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,040
We are on amazing gold ground.

105
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,200
Probably some of the best gold
ground we've been on.

106
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,280
We've got the loader.

107
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,280
We've got a really high gold target
so pressure is really on.

108
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,680
No worries, buddy. I'll start
heading your way no, mate.

109
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Let's get into it, eh?

110
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,920
With this big machine out here,
Kim obviously wants more gold.

111
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,440
10oz a week but we've got to produce
the gold first.

112
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,000
(MACHINE WAILS)

113
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,280
We got a target here.

114
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,480
In the scoop.

115
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Whoa, there she is.

116
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,600
There it is.

117
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Look at that.

118
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,600
Nice little piece of reef gold.

119
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,840
That's only a small bit.
Probably close to a gram.

120
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,280
It would be nice to find some bigger
stuff but it all adds up.

121
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,000
The beautiful geology here.

122
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Really good signs.

123
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,720
Starting to get into some gold
down the bottom.

124
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,280
Millions of years ago collisions

125
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,400
in the Earth's tectonic plates forced
gold deposits upwards.

126
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Over time, weathering caused the gold

127
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400
to be washed down and collect on the
gullies below.

128
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,280
Right down the bottom here,
could be quite full of gold.

129
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Probably only been doing
this for about 20 minutes, right.

130
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,160
Check this out already.

131
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,680
All gold, baby.

132
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,360
That's all about 20 minutes.

133
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,200
(BUZZING)

134
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,560
Check that out. Hey, boys.

135
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,680
Do you see that there?
There's a drone up there, bro.

136
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,160
Yeah, man.
That's definitely a drone.

137
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,920
What's it doing?
Is it buzzing yous?

138
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,720
No, mate. They are checking us out.

139
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,560
Keep an eye on it.

140
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,360
Yeah, bro. I got him.

141
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560
We haven't got time to be dealing
with drones.

142
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,680
This drone coming out has put
the willies up us.

143
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,600
We are going to be finding 10oz

144
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,160
a week and we've got people like
this coming out, flying drones

145
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,720
and poaching our gold

146
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,960
but if they are stupid enough to fly
the drone back

147
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,720
in the same direction as through
they are,

148
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,960
then we are going to get them.

149
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,360
(BUZZING)

150
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,440
There you go, he's heading
back that way.

151
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,960
Let's go get him.

152
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,360
That's not just a weekender, man.

153
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,960
They are here to steal our gold.

154
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,720
Yeah, they're not doing that
on our watch.

155
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,040
Let's go. Let's get...

156
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,160
It's another big bit of tin.

157
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,120
The old-timers strike again.

158
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,720
It's all hands on deck
at the moment.

159
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,560
Alex is digging up round
the old shafts.

160
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,160
Paul is looking at the geology of
and everything

161
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,600
and smashing some rocks
to see what's in there.

162
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520
I'm trying to look for some nuggets,

163
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,720
start getting some money in

164
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,400
and hitting that 1,000oz target.

165
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,560
On the outskirts
of the historic mining town

166
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,840
of Yerilla Western Australia,

167
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Gold Devils Paul Mackie, Melanie Wood

168
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,400
and partner Alex Stead are excavating
a series of old mine shafts

169
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600
they hope will lead to a gold reef

170
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,560
on their 3.1 square kilometre
Fair Lady lease.

171
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,320
We're at Fair Lady and digging
between the old workings.

172
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Historically, the amount of gold

173
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,360
that came out of where we are now,
it was tens and tens of kilos.

174
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,640
If we can dig between
the old workings,

175
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520
we got a chance that we could hit
something that they never found.

176
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
The Gold Devils plan is to connect
the dots

177
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,800
between dozens of old mine
shafts on their lease.

178
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,160
Old-timers sunk vertical shafts
down to the quartz reef below

179
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,280
where they extracted
millions of dollars worth of gold.

180
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440
The team are hoping the areas
between the shafts

181
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,640
may hold gold the old-timers missed.

182
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,280
So for us to make our 1,000oz
target this year,

183
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,760
going to need multiple
projects on the go at the same time.

184
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,960
If we can prove up a good
asset here,

185
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,720
we'll split the team in two and run
both projects at the same time.

186
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,520
1,000oz target for the season,
it's (BLEEP) huge.

187
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920
To reach their ambitious 1,000oz

188
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,200
$2.6 million target, this season,
the team cast their net wide.

189
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,320
Searching for the most profitable
ground across their ten leases.

190
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,800
If we don't start seeing gold soon,
pretty much finished.

191
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,000
And with the setup of their Phoenix
project is still underway...

192
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,800
The samples that have come back from
Fair Lady was 0.1oz per ton.

193
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
That's almost four times what we got
from Eldorado.

194
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:58,480
The team decided to focus their
efforts on their Fair Lady lease.

195
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Lock it in.

196
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Let's organise it then.

197
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,080
The bills are adding up.

198
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Especially the diesel bills
so if we don't get onto

199
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,840
something soon, it's a waste of
time and money being out here.

200
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,240
(MACHINE WAILS)

201
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,320
That one seems
a little bit different.

202
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,800
(MACHINE WAILS)

203
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720
Oh, I can see it.

204
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,680
That's good news.

205
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,720
That looks like it's travelled
off the reef.

206
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,200
Couple of grams there.

207
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,000
It's good to find these

208
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760
but the real success out here is
when we hit the reef.

209
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,240
I'm not looking for a couple
of specs in the pan.

210
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,880
I'm looking for a decent tail.

211
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Nothing in that at all.

212
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,920
Found no gold there.

213
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,200
We found no gold here.

214
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,520
We will just keep moving along.

215
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Just keep trying.

216
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,560
That's what gold hunting
is all about.

217
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,600
(DISTANT GUNSHOT)

218
00:09:58,680 --> 00:09:59,920
Did you hear that?

219
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,720
I think that was a gunshot.

220
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,080
(GUNSHOT)

221
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,440
It's pretty close too.

222
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Just hold up there for
a second, mate.

223
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,640
(GUNSHOT)

224
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,720
Jesus...

225
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,640
I don't know where that's coming
from but that's definitely gunshots.

226
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,200
I just heard
three consecutive gunshots

227
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,120
and they're pretty close too.

228
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Hey, Mel. Are you on channel?

229
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,440
Mel, are you on Channel?

230
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,040
No, I've got to go find her.

231
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,120
OK.

232
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,440
I couldn't tell which way they were
coming from, mate...

233
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,680
I can't see her so she must
be a way off.

234
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,720
Let's get up to the higher ground,
see if we can see her.

235
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,560
Melanie, got a copy?

236
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Nothing.

237
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,640
There's a car behind us, mate.

238
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:52,840
You're joking.

239
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,480
What the hell is that out here?

240
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,040
Yeah, he's pulling up.

241
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,360
What the hell are you doing out
here, mate?

242
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,520
Are you shooting?

243
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,320
Hey!

244
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Hey, Andy.

245
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,520
I think I've just found where
Mulligan's camp is.

246
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,840
It's on this old map

247
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,680
and I've just been comparing that
to the satellite imagery.

248
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,520
I'm pretty sure we can get there.

249
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Well, let's have a crack because
he found these gold fields.

250
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,520
He wouldn't have camped there

251
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,240
unless there was
some good gold there.

252
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,160
It's little clues like this

253
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,480
that could change our season
and that could get us our 50oz.

254
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,120
I can't see any roads
but I can see where it was

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,880
and it lines up
perfectly with the satellite image.

256
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Let's get in there.
We'll pack the car, hit the road.

257
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:45,360
Yeah. Keen.

258
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Prospectors Jacqui Besetti
and Andrew Lane

259
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,120
are working one of Australia's most
rugged and remote goldfields.

260
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,680
The Palmer River in far north
Queensland.

261
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,480
Let's get out of here.

262
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:06,680
Find Mulligan's camp.

263
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,400
The bloke was a legend.

264
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,800
He found so much gold and he was
such an amazing explorer.

265
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,120
Let's do everything we can to clear
this path

266
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,600
and get ourselves in there.

267
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:22,360
Yeah, this could be the ground
that changes our season.

268
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720
Yeah, because we sure need
that extra push

269
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920
if we are going to get
anywhere close to this 50oz.

270
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,440
The tracks are gonna be tough.

271
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,760
We are going of a sketch map
from the 1800s.

272
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,120
Mulligan pushed in there 150 years
ago with a horse.

273
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,320
Surely we can do it with this car.

274
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,440
Yeah. Fingers crossed.

275
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,080
Irish explorer James
'Venture' Mulligan

276
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,880
emigrated to Australia in 1860
and in 1973, discovered gold

277
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,080
in the Palmer River

278
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,600
drawing hundreds of gold hungry
prospectors to the area.

279
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Using basic tools and techniques,

280
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,840
old-timers extracted hundreds of
thousands of ounces from its ground.

281
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,720
A figure worth billions of dollars
in today's currency.

282
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,440
I really am so excited about this.

283
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Mulligan's like a hero, you know.

284
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,200
I know. It's not just like you are
going to explore another gully.

285
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,760
We are exploring history.

286
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,480
We are going to be walking in
Mulligan's footsteps.

287
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Jacqui and Andrew's plan is to use

288
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,000
their modern technology to uncover
gold that Mulligan may have missed.

289
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,360
What's the map saying about this?

290
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,280
I think we go that way.

291
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Let's try and push this ridge
I reckon.

292
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Let's just have a crack

293
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,080
because this cuts off a heap
and we can push along that ridge.

294
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,160
It'll cut off a heap of ground.

295
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:53,760
Look at that.

296
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,040
How much does that weigh?

297
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,320
15oz. I will show you on the map
where I got it.

298
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
The pair venture deep into the remote
Palmer River

299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,920
on the hunt for big gold.

300
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,600
Probably close to $1,000 worth
of gold there.

301
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:07,120
That's why we do this game.

302
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,200
Oh, my god. Get out.

303
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040
And uncovered a series of
promising nuggets.

304
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Nice.

305
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,600
That's a good way in.

306
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:16,280
Yeah, that's another $9,000.

307
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,360
It really is good but we need more.

308
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,360
We need to punch more weight
if we're going to find 50oz.

309
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,720
But the pair still have over 40
ounces to find

310
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,800
to hit their 50oz season target.

311
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,600
This is pretty rough.

312
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,040
No one's driven this for
a long, long time.

313
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,440
Whoa.

314
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,120
It's pretty tough looking country.

315
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,480
I think we need to go down that
ridgeline there.

316
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,560
Down there? Are you serious?

317
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,560
That's a pretty serious drop.

318
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,640
Apparently Mulligan's camp is just
ahead of us.

319
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Let's go for it.

320
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,400
OK.

321
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Whoa...

322
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,520
Barely see ahead of us.

323
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,400
It's just sliding.

324
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Oh, gosh.

325
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,400
If this is where Mulligan's camp is,

326
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,840
we've pushed all this way,
I'm not stopping now.

327
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Let's just get in there.

328
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Whoa.

329
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,520
There's got to be gold in here.

330
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,760
This should be
where Mulligan camped.

331
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840
This is as close as we're going to
get in the car

332
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,240
so it's on foot from here.

333
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,360
Yep.

334
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Righto, let's find some gold.

335
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,600
If the map's right and this is where
Milligan camped,

336
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,960
there's going to be a
lot of gold around here.

337
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,480
Let's get stuck into it, I reckon.

338
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,840
Yeah, that's it.

339
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,840
Well, we made it.

340
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
It was a hard push in
but we got here.

341
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,480
What's the attack plan then
you reckon?

342
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,240
We can start detecting to see if we
can get onto something.

343
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Right, I might push across onto that
flat ground

344
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,440
and I'll check that
little side gully at the same time.

345
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Alright, well I'll stay down here,
just leave I can pick anything up.

346
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Excellent.

347
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Alright, good luck.

348
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,280
So I've just headed further down
the creek bend now to see

349
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,520
if I can find any good detectable
stocks while Andy is searching.

350
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,840
This part of the world has made
a lot of people rich.

351
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,520
The old-timers got a lot of big
gold in here.

352
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,880
I hope it's our turn next.

353
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,760
These hill patches can
seriously pay off.

354
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,600
There could be kilos here.

355
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,240
(MACHINE WAILS)

356
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,920
That's pretty loud.

357
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Righto. I got it out.

358
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,240
She's loud.

359
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Oh, look at that!

360
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,640
You beauty.
Mulligan's put us onto some.

361
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,160
That's a good chunk of gold.

362
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Probably half an ounce there.

363
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,880
$1,200 morning.

364
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,400
That's awesome.

365
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,880
Thanks, Mulligan.

366
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,680
That one's for you, mate.

367
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,760
Let's go. Let's get...

368
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,600
It's turned back that way.

369
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Let's go!

370
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Which way did it go, man?

371
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,880
It's that way, bro. You can see
the dust heading off that way.

372
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,880
Just keep an eye on him, man, eh?
Let's go, mate.

373
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,160
Not on our watch.

374
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,560
Not taking our gold.

375
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
In remote Western Australia,

376
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,800
the Ferals have given chase
to potential poachers

377
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080
flying a drone over their dig site.

378
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Are you kidding me?

379
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,400
They're gone, mate.

380
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,560
They are off the lease.
There's nothing we can do.

381
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,600
If we caught them on the lease,
we could get them.

382
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,200
We better get back.

383
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,920
Let Levi know what's going on.

384
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Righto.

385
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,960
I don't know what I'd do if we
caught them,

386
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,280
man, but I tell you what.

387
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:53,720
It would get messy.

388
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,560
At least now they know we're on
to them, mate.

389
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,240
Got a copy there, Levi?

390
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Yeah, mate. How did you guys go?

391
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,360
Mate, they took off.

392
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,480
They went off the lease
so we stopped chasing them.

393
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,840
Well, good effort anyway.

394
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,720
I think crew want to come out
and get gold themselves.

395
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,400
Yeah, we can't spend all our time
out there

396
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,960
chasing these fellas around.

397
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,360
No, we're better off on the ground
finding the gold.

398
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Time for us to go, get out
on that ground again

399
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,080
and get some gold in our pockets.

400
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Kim wants 10oz a week.

401
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,000
The split he's going to give us is
70, 30 and that 70% our way.

402
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,640
That's unheard of up here.

403
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,920
He's given us the machine...

404
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,480
(MACHINE WAILS)

405
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080
I'm on target here, boys.

406
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,160
Not 100% sure yet
but I'll have a bit of a dig.

407
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080
See if we can take 50 mil off
and we'll have a look.

408
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,280
We really need a lot of gold.

409
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:48,840
We need 10oz a week.

410
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,880
We need to get out here,
picking up nuggets.

411
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,400
(MACHINE WAILS)

412
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,480
Oh, yeah.

413
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,480
Wow, that sounds deep.

414
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Hey, Levi, I reckon I've got a good
run over here in the ground, buddy.

415
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,760
You little ripper.

416
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,000
I will open this hole up a little
bit more.

417
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,040
Oh, yeah.

418
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:10,600
Oh, yeah, Levi!

419
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,640
We are on the gold, brother.

420
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,200
Nathan, we're on a good target,
mate.

421
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,840
Come over and have a look, bro.

422
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,560
Got it, mate.

423
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Yeah, boys.

424
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000
(LAUGHTER)

425
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,200
Oh, look at that.
Bit of Pilbara gold.

426
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,480
Far out.

427
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,560
On the gold.

428
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,840
We are really on it.

429
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,440
Oh, yeah baby.

430
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,280
You're not supposed to be here.

431
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,920
Don't worry about them, mate.

432
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,320
Are you shooting?

433
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,880
Hey.

434
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Can you see the (BLEEP)
mining operation over here?

435
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,360
We've got signs up.
We are active mining in this area.

436
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,000
When I was in the (BLEEP) hole,

437
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,000
I could hear gunshots over
the excavator.

438
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Paul and Alex have confronted
an armed man on

439
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,440
their Fair Lady lease while searching
for missing team member Mel.

440
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,200
This is a registered mining
operation, mate.

441
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:03,920
You can't be here.

442
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,240
It just can't happen.

443
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,840
Well, they're going to have to stop.

444
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,920
No.

445
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,400
Get them on the radio straight off.

446
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,520
We've got other people out here

447
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,800
and make sure no one is firing
anything in this area.

448
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,560
You need to get on the blower,
find out where the other guys are...

449
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,680
Mel, are you OK?

450
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,560
I heard gunshots.

451
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,440
I don't know what's going on.

452
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,000
Get in your car, (BLEEP) off

453
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,640
and find the other blokes and tell
them to stop shooting.

454
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,720
Otherwise I'll be running straight
back into town

455
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,000
and dragging the cops out here

456
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,600
and having you arrested
for trespass.

457
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,360
Get his number plate.

458
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Yeah.

459
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,120
Sorry about that.

460
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,280
(BLEEP) attitude,
there's no doubt about that.

461
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:53,960
Anyway, let's go and get Mel.

462
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Make sure she's alright.

463
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,360
As part of land management
in remote areas,

464
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,800
exterminators are hired by
local shires for pest control.

465
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,560
What the hell happened?

466
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,680
Are you alright?

467
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,160
Yeah, we're OK.

468
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Some bloke out here reckons he's got
a contract to shoot feral animals.

469
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,320
Making out we are in the wrong

470
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,120
for being here working
on our mining lease.

471
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,520
That was a bit of excitement.

472
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Pretty intense.

473
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,240
It's not the excitement
we're here for.

474
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,320
No.

475
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,760
I'll come with you guys I think.

476
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,360
Back to work.
Yes.

477
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,960
Alright.

478
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,120
Back to digging.

479
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,800
Mel's hit a few little nugs.

480
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,680
It's a great sign but it's not
really what we need.

481
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,840
We are going to need a lot of
nuggets or need to find a reef.

482
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600
It's definitely different ground.

483
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,400
Worthwhile chasing.

484
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,320
As an old shaft, Paul.
Yeah.

485
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,560
We just dug right through it.

486
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,320
That's definitely timbers from
a shaft.

487
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,880
Definitely.

488
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,240
We broke through an old shaft
that is literally right here

489
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,680
and it's just hit this iron-rich
layer full of quartz.

490
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,560
This is obviously
what they were chasing.

491
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,960
The old-timers, they knew exactly
what they were doing

492
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,800
and if it crushes up and has
gold in it, then we can sample it,

493
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,720
hone in on if there is actually
gold coming out of this stuff.

494
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,160
Do a bit of crushing.

495
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,800
Hopefully we can find some colour.

496
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,840
If not, we're just going to have to
fill that hole in and keep moving.

497

498
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,600
She's dead.

499
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,080
Without this crusher...

500
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,280
..we are dead in the water.

501
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,360
Down in this gully, I've seen a lot
more rock

502
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,920
and now that I'm getting closer,

503
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,720
I can actually see
this as all river rock which means

504
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,040
there was an ancient river flowing
over these hills at one stage

505
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,360
and that is just one of the best
signs you can see

506
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,880
as a prospector on the Palmer.

507
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,320
(MACHINE WAILS)

508
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,960
Well, that one is loud.

509
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,880
Have a look.

510
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,360
There it is,
scraped out of the surface.

511
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,520
Look at that.

512
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920
That's the old matches tins
they used to carry here.

513
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,760
Normally it would be annoying
but when you think

514
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,680
it might be Mulligan's match tin,
I'm actually going to keep this one.

515
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,840
On the Palmer River goldfields in
northern Queensland,

516
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,440
Jacqui and
Andrew are targeting an area

517
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,520
they believe was once worked by
pioneering explorer James Mulligan.

518
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:44,600
So I'm just going to have a little
look around this bedrock here.

519
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,520
It's a good place for gold
to get trapped

520
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,720
when it's flowing through the creek.

521
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,280
Heavy water flow carries fine gold

522
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:56,320
downstream where it slows on the
river beds allowing it to drop down

523
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,920
and settle into the layer of gravel
between the riverbed and the bedrock.

524

(MACHINE WAILS)

525
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:05,640
There's a target already.

526
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,880
Just sitting here in this bedrock.

527
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,640
We are on already.

528
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,200
Come on.

529
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,200
Huh...

530
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,280
Yep, sweet.

531
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:21,080
So I got a piece of gold right
there.

532
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,840
That's exactly what we are
looking for.

533
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,440
Hopefully that means there
will be more.

534
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,920
There's junk here everywhere.

535
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,640
Old parts of a chisel
or something here.

536
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,640
Here we go.

537
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,160
One of their old boot heels.

538
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560
So that was what they would put on
the bottom of their boots

539
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,960
out here otherwise their shoes
would wear out too quick

540
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,160
so they actually had like a little
horseshoe

541
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,920
straight on the back of their boot.

542
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,080
So I'm off to a good start.

543
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Got one already in this bedrock
which is exactly what it should be.

544
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,600
I'm just going to go low and slow
now and listen out for any more.

546
00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:59,560
I've got another target here.

547
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,600
This one sounds alright too.

548
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,960
I haven't had any junk yet
so fingers crossed.

549
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Yeah, this path just keeps going.

550
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,240
There's heaps here.

551
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,880
(MACHINE WAILS)

552
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Yeah, awesome.

553
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,440
Check that one out.

554
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,080
That's a nice decent piece.

555
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,120
Problem one of the biggest ones
I've got along here so far.

556
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,840
They've all been quite small
but they're everywhere.

557
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,440
If we could just get into
that bedrock

558
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,520
and take it all apart, we might
actually find a fair amount of gold.

559
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,480
Hey, check this out.

560
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,880
I'm onto the golden run.

561
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920
That's a heap of little
nuggets, there.

562
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,160
They just keep coming.

563
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,600
How did you go?

564
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Think I found Mulligan's camp.

565
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,080
You found Mulligan's camp?!

566
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,320
Look at that.

567
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,600
Oh, that's 1800s.

568
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,920
One of those matches tins.

569
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,200
There's his boot heel.

570
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,360
No way.

571
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,440
His horseshoe.

572
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,560
But it gets better because he didn't
just leave junk behind.

573
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,600
Check these out.

574
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,080
Oh, my God.

575
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,480
I'm having so much fun today.

576
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,120
There's three grand there I reckon.

577
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,920
I picked them up almost as soon
as I got there

578
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040
and ever since then, the
rest of the day, nothing but junk.

579
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:12,920
Well, I know this spot's
really rich.

580
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,400
We've got really good paydirt.

581
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,000
We'll just bring in buckets,
collect as much as we can,

582
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,800
go and process that
then we can find out

583
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,360
how much gold is in there as well.

584
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,800
Bring in some buckets, process some
of this dirt, get some more gold.

585
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,200
So let's do it.

586
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,240
With the amount of small gold Jacqui
is getting,

587
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520
I reckon there's a lot of fine gold
in there as well.

588
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,080
Without this crusher,
we are dead in the water.

At their remote Fair Lady lease,

591
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,720
the battery that powers the Gold
Devils' portable crusher is flat,

592
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,880
preventing them from testing the
quartz reef for traces of fine gold.

593
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,200
I'm gonna try
and give it a quick jumpstart.

594
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,080
Manually.

595
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,840
Paul is hoping
that a bush fix pull cord

596
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,480
wound around the spring-loaded
hub will create enough rotation

597
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,920
to the flywheel and cause the spark
plug to fire starting the engine.

598
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,320
This is not ideal way
to start a motor.

599
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,520
The rope can get caught up and cause
more damage

600
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,120
but, at the moment,
it's the only option I've got.

(ENGINE STARTS)

602
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,720

603

start.

Alright, do a test on it.

605
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,760

Well...

607
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,520
There wasn't even
a speck down there.

608
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,680
No.

609
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,240
Alright, move along.

00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,880
So the boys aren't having much
luck taking over there

611
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,840
so I thought I'd come back to
some old mine shafts I saw earlier.

612
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,920
There's a lot of blue quartz sitting
around the old diggings there.

613
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,920
I'm going to take some samples
of this blue quartz.

614
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,760
My experience with blue quartz is

615
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,200
that it either has no gold in it
or it can have a lot of gold in it.

616
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,720
You just don't know until you put it
through the rock crusher.

617
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,760
Blue quartz is a crystalline mineral

618
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,440
high in manganese and copper which
gives the rock its signature colour.

619
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,160
Yeah, I want to get these back

620
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,920
to the boys and crush them up,
see if there's any gold.

621

00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Nope. Bust.

624
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,680
What have you got?

625
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,680
I found a whole heap of blue quartz
at the top of the mineshaft.

run it through the rock crusher.

Pretty good.

635
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,720
It'd be nice to know if there is
gold in that one

636

because maybe we
can move onto that one next.

Yeah.

641

Once we crushed it up,

642
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,320
to see that massive trail of gold
at the end of it

643
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,680
from such a small sample,

644
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,040
your spirits just get an extra lift
and it's like, we're on.

645
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,960
We are finding absolutely jack here.

646
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,280
We'll fill this hole in, go and
focus on this area.

647
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Awesome.

648
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,240
We've got work to do.

00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,680
Grab a sample bag.

650
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Now the real work begins.

651
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,840
Yeah, it's gonna be a hard slog
taking them back up here but...

652
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,160
It is.

653
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,120
If we want the gold,
it's what we've got to do.

654
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,560
I want the gold.

655
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,360
So we got everything we need now
to collect this dirt.

656
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,400
Now we've just got to pick it out of
the ground

657
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,960
and cart it back to the car.

658
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,320
We want to find out how much gold is
in that dirt

659
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,120
and there's only one way to do that.

660
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560
Collect it and process it.

661
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,760
I'll pick out if you want to
shovel it in.

662
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,200
Sure.

663
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,080
So this is the bedrock here.

664
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,720
This is the hard rock bottom
of the creek.

665
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,160
The gold will come down
and get trapped between

666
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,640
the different layers of bedrock.

667
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,840
You can see there's dirt in between
the bedrock

668
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,240
and it's that dirt we're after,
that's what holds the gold.

669
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,880
We'll just take everything
and process the whole lot.

670
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,000
That should nearly be enough, eh?

671
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,160
Yeah.

672
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,360
Oh, good.

673
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,080
Whoo.

674
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,080
We've got a good sample here.

675
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Lots of buckets full of this nice,
crumbly bedrock

676
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,560
with all of this clay attached to it
so we're gonna take it back

677
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,040
to the car and then track down
some water where we can process it.

678
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,160
I just don't want to be processing
this where all the crocodiles are.

679
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,160
There's a bit of water down here.

680
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,240
At least we know there isn't any
crocs in here.

681
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,080
Yeah, we can see the bottom
so at least we're safe here.

682
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,320
Let's grab that high banker
and get into it.

683
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,840
Yep, sweet.

684
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,320
We just found where the creek runs
into the lagoon

685
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,640
and the water is
nice and shallow there.

686
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,080
We can see what's going on

687
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,040
so nothing's gonna sneak up on us
and eat us now.

688
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,040
Alright, just grab all this
high banking gear out now

689
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,160
and go and set it up.

690
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,920
Get the pump set up
and get the water going

691
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,040
and then we can process
some of this dirt.

692
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,400
This is our high banker.

693
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,280
This will bring our water
into the system

694
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,040
then we'll drop the dirt in here.

695
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,520
We'll clean the dirt and it will run
down across this mat.

696
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840
All the fine stuff will drop through
this grid

697
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,320
and into the bottom sluice.

698
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,440
That will pick up all our gold
as we go

699
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,320
so it's a pretty basic system

700
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,560
but it allows us to wash paydirt
fairly quickly

701
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,000
and gets us a good
idea of how much is in the ground.

702
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,680
This is going great.

703
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,520
The machine is running really well.

704
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Now it's just a matter of getting
all the dirt through

705
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,160
and seeing how we went.

706
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680
I mean the amount of hard work we do
sometimes to find gold,

707
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,080
we could do
with some good luck right now.

708
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,200
The number one priority for us is to
find Kim 10oz a week.

709
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:43,760
That's gonna keep us on this lease.

710
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,000
The more gold we find for him,

711
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,840
the more gold that comes
into our pocket.

712
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,320
There's a target there.

713
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,760
Let's go.

714
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,760
That's a nice little piece
of Pilbara gold I reckon.

715
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,440
It's in the scoop.

716
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,600
In the hand.

717
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,720
Hey.

718
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Look at that one.

719
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,560
Nice little shiny bit.

720
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,240
There you go.

721
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,480
That's gonna go towards me helping
my kids out with their future.

722
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,760
Look at that.

723
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,040
And that is just from today.

724
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,880
I've got close to an ounce there
in my hand.

725
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,080
Sooner or later, we're going to come
across some big ones.

726
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,320
Right now, just trying to take off
maybe 50 mil.

727
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,720
Every push, we are finding 50
or 60 nuggets.

728
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,560
Some of them starting to get
a little bit bigger

729
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,240
so that's a really good indicator

730
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,760
that there's gold running
from the top to the bottom.

731
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,920
The Ferals are onto a run of small
nuggets on boss

732
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,640
Kim's Mount Shovel mining lease.

733
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:48,800
But with a huge 10oz weekly
target, they are relying

734
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,880
on their 28 ton loader to get them
to bigger gold

735
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,560
that may lie deeper down.

736
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,960
That's so good.

737
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,320
Loaded with gold.

738
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280
Come back down in here where Levi's
been pushing up

739
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,000
and finding quite a bit.

740
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,680
I know Kim wants 10oz a week

741
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,160
but right here finding gold for Kim,
I can't believe it.

742
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,760
You know, we find more than 10oz a
week, extra money in our pockets.

743
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,760
I've got you, baby.

744
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,360
Check this out.

745
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,960
I'm not saying it's huge
but so much gold in them.

746
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,840
Whoo!

747
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,680
Yeah, probably about 1.5g
but they're all adding up.

748
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Hey, Ronno.

749
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,120
We got another little nuggy.

750
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,800
Yeah, sweet, bro.

751
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Picking up lots of small ones.

752
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Hopefully we'll get some big
one soon.

753
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,680
This ground is just alive.

754
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,680
There's so much gold in here.

755
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,600
You can't put your detector down,
it just starts screaming at you.

756
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,640
Mate, all this hard work,
it will pay off in a second

757
00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:58,440
when you find that big chunk
of gold.

758
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,920
So exciting.
It just drives you on.

759
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,120
Whoa.

760
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,600
There it is.

761
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,880
(LAUGHS)

762
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,520
First scoop.

763
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,440
Oh, in the hand.

764
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,720
Oh, my goodness.

765
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,040
You little ripper.

766
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,160
Whoo.

767
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,480
Check that one out.

768
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,920
(LAUGHS)

769
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,800
Mate, we are on the gold.

770
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,440
That is a nice chunk of gold
so this is what we are looking for.

771
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,600
All those little crumbs we found
out here

772
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,640
are leading to this bigger stuff.

773
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:29,600
So the deeper we go,
fingers crossed,

774
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
we'll get a ton more of these.

775
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960
(MACHINE WAILS)

776
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:39,240
Wow.

777
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,040
If that's a bit of gold,
it is down deep.

778
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,160
There's a certain noise that you
hear with deep gold

779
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:53,720
and it's like a big growl.

780
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,680
Just draws you in.

781
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,360
(MACHINE WAILS)

782
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,960
Wow.

783
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,480
Hey, Levi.

784
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,280
Mate, I think I got something big
in the ground here, bro.

785
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,680
She is a growler.

786
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,240
What, deep?

787
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,480
Bro, deep.

788
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,320
Deep, deep and she's a big growler.

789
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,600
No worries, mate.
We are due for a big one.

790
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,760
Come on, baby, we need this.

791
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,400
We know there's big gold here.

792
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,040
There's been such big stuff found.

793
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,760
(MACHINE WAILS)
Whoa.

794
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,320
This is gold.

795
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,400
Should I do a cut or do you want to
hand dig it?

796
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,760
If you come in and do a little cut.
Maybe 300 mil.

797
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,240
Oh, mate.
You're getting me excited.

798
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,200
I reckon we might be onto
something here.

799
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,600
Alright, let's do this.

800
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,320
The moment of truth.

801
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,400
Yep.

802
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,440
The Gold Devils have spent the week
scouting their Fair Lady lease hoping

803
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:53,000
to prove profitable ground
to expand their mining operation.

804
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,080
Check out the pan.

805
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,160
Pretty impressive.

806
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:57,560
Oh, wow. That's a really long tail.

807
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:58,800
All from your blue quartz.

808
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,400
Oh, there's nice chunks
in there too.

809
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,520
It looks like a couple of ounces
to the ton at least.

810
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,720
That's good.

811
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,760
How many holes to dig over there
and get nothing?

812
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,280
The blue quartz
that you found, boom.

813
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,680
Every single piece is loaded
with gold.

814
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,800
Wow.

815
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:12,880
What have you got?

816
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,120
I've got some diesel tokens here.
Shall we have a look?

817
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,400
Yeah.

818
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,200
Alright. 1.496.

819
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,440
Mostly spessies though.

820
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:24,520
Yeah.

821
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,040
Bit of rock in them.

822
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,280
So call it an ounce for the week.

823
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,560
Yeah, I reckon.

824
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,760
What does that bring us to?

825
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,600
135oz.

826
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,040
BOTH: Long way off.

827
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,120
Yeah. What's that?

828
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,200
350,000?

829
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,320
Yeah.

830
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,400
Roughly, yeah.

831
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,960
If we hadn't found that blue quartz
and you hadn't put us onto that,

832
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,200
I'd be saying it's time to pack up
and go.

833
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,000
But we can't leave that behind.

834
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,840
Don't stress about the
1,000oz target.

835
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:54,960
(LAUGHS)

836
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,320
Yeah, Paul, thanks for that!

837
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,000
It'll come. It'll come.

838
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,520
The last one.

839
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,240
Yeah, power it.

840
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,160
In Far North Queensland,
Jacqui and Andrew

841
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:15,280
have spent the last two hours
using their high banker

842
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,360
to extract fine gold
from buckets of paydirt

843
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,880
they gathered from a nearby
river bed.

844
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,200
Alright.

845
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,280
That's it?

846
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,360
It's done.

847
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,600
Oh, have a look at this.

848
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,720
Whoa.

849
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,360
You're right. There was a lot of
little nuggets in that dirt.

850
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,120
Oh, there's heaps.

851
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,680
And if that's what we can see,

852
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,120
there's going to be a fair bit in
there when we pan off.

853
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:44,760
Yes!

854
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,800
Alright well, let's strip it
all down.

855
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,640
Clean it out see how we went.

856
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,080
Perfect. I enjoyed that.

857
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,480
That was great.

858
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,040
Me too. Good time.

859
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,480
It made whole and all those
buckets worthwhile.

860
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,880
I'm excited for this.

861
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,760
Alright, time to find out
how we went.

862
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,480
Yeah, well, this is all fine gold

863
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,720
so all the high banking,
all those little guys.

864
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,200
Check this out.

865
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,520
Oh, just under an ounce.

866
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,680
0.99 of an ounce.

867
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:14,840
That's still pretty good.

868
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,920
That's 2.5 grand there.

869
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,360
Time to pour the chunky ones on.

870
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:19,480
Yes.

871
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:22,600
Alright, Mulligan,
what did you leave us?

872
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,560
4oz.

873
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,040
10.5 grand right there.

874
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,320
Smashed it.

875
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,400
Seriously, that's a wicked weigh-in.

876
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,320
If we pick punching numbers
like that,

877
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,160
we really could get
this target done.

878
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:36,960
I think we owe Mulligan a beer.

879
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,680
Alright, on to the next mission.

880
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,280
Let's go get some more of this.

881
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,640
I think I got something big
in the ground here, bro.

882
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:48,120
She's a growler.

883
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,400
Ryan's charmed up a big one

884
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,920
he reckons so I'm going to head down
there and have a push.

885
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,040
Right, mate keep coming.
Keep coming.

886
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,000
Yep, drive her down now, bro.

887
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,520
Drive her down deep.

888
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,480
Keep pushing.

889
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Scoop her up now, bro.

890
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,600
I'll leave the dirt in the bucket
if you want to check the hole?

891
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,080
(MACHINE WAILS)

892
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,520
(LAUGHS)

893
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,720
Yes!

894
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,200
This is it, man.

895
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,880
This will make our dreams come true.

896
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,600
Yeah, one big nugget can change your
life pretty quickly.

897
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,080
In the middle?

898
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Yeah.

899
00:41:23,240 --> 00:41:24,600
Oh...

900
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,120
I can feel it.

901
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,320
She is heavy. Oh, man.

902
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:32,960
What in the world...

903
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,800
Look at that!

904
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,680
(LAUGHTER)

905
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,240
Unbelievable.

906
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:40,600
You little ripper.

907
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,040
Look what we just found.

908
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,440
That's 10oz easy.

909
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,080
Bro, that is gold!

910
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,040
That's the biggest nuggy, man,
I've ever been involved in.

911
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,080
That's probably the 20, 30 grams
worth of gold there, fellas.

912
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,560
That takes a bit of pressure off.

913
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:54,800
Oh, bro.

914
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,040
I've got tears of happiness.

915
00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:00,240
That is the biggest piece of gold
that the Ferals have found.

916
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,560
Let's put that on the scales
and do a weigh up.

917
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,040
Here we go, baby.

918
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Well, I think this is probably going
to be our best weigh-in yet.

919
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,680
Look at that.

920
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,640
(LAUGHTER)

921
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,200
We might have to weigh it
separately.

922
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,600
A lot of blood, sweat and tears,

923
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,400
mate, getting that stuff out
of the ground.

924
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,280
Our biggest weigh-in
in Feral history.

925
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:23,920
Here we go.

926
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,600
Ooh.

927
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,720
Oh, my goodness.

928
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,080
So let's call that 8.5 ounces.

929
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,880
We'll take half ounce
for the quartz.

930
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,000
That's 8.5 ounces, fellas,
of small gold.

931
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,240
(LAUGHTER)

932
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Now for the big chunk.

933
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,680
The chunk.

934
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:41,920
Have a feel, mate.

935
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,760
That is our week's worth
right there.

936
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,880
Alright, let's chuck it on.

937
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,360
OK, let's go.

938
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,520
12.1oz.

939
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,560
(LAUGHS)

940
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,360
Wow.

941
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,000
20.5oz.

942
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,800
That's 50 grand.

943
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,200
There's more waiting to be found.

944
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,360
Well, Kim is going to be absolutely
rapt, fellas.

945
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,240
This takes a lot of pressure
off us and

946
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,800
it takes a lot of pressure off him
because he knows we're finding gold.

947
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,600
Yeah, it's really working out.

948
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,400
This takes us to the next level.

949
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,760
Good week, fellas.

950
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,720
Brilliant week.

951
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,840
Good stuff.

952
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,280
(LAUGHS)
Let's roll.

953
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,640
Blew the scales out, brother.

954
00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:23,160
Go, the Ferals.

955
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:24,720
Whoo.

956
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,360
