1
00:00:03,241 --> 00:00:04,896
You're gonna
come on to here.
2
00:00:04,931 --> 00:00:08,862
Just stand up and
then bring your left foot.
3
00:00:08,896 --> 00:00:11,586
I've learned so much on
these trips,
4
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:14,275
like, about mining, about people, about myself.
5
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:18,482
This one more so than
any other country
that we've been to.
6
00:00:18,517 --> 00:00:20,137
Shouldn't get released,
should it?
7
00:00:20,172 --> 00:00:21,448
[instructor] No.
8
00:00:21,482 --> 00:00:24,000
I have a lot riding on this ground in Fairbanks.
9
00:00:24,034 --> 00:00:26,896
We have to do it
right the first time.
10
00:00:26,931 --> 00:00:28,689
All right, get your toes
all the way to the edge.
11
00:00:28,724 --> 00:00:30,137
Hands off.
12
00:00:30,172 --> 00:00:33,103
Arms out to the side.
13
00:00:33,137 --> 00:00:36,517
[Parker] This is the time when your mind likes to play tricks on you.
14
00:00:36,551 --> 00:00:37,965
Is it the right decision?
15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,758
Is it the wrong decision?
16
00:00:39,793 --> 00:00:41,620
Try looking up
instead of looking down,
17
00:00:41,655 --> 00:00:42,862
that's going to
happen anyway.
18
00:00:42,896 --> 00:00:44,931
[Parker] The problem is you paralyze yourself with that.
19
00:00:44,965 --> 00:00:46,241
Huh.
20
00:00:46,275 --> 00:00:48,206
[instructor]
Stop overthinking things.
Just get it done then.
21
00:00:52,896 --> 00:00:55,620
No decision is always the worst decision.
22
00:00:55,655 --> 00:00:57,482
I'm not sure
I want to do this.
23
00:00:59,931 --> 00:01:02,586
[theme music playing]
24
00:01:13,793 --> 00:01:16,379
[Tyler] Feels like
we've been on the West Coast
for ages, doesn't it?
25
00:01:16,413 --> 00:01:17,965
I know.
26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,620
[Daniel] Look,
he's already asleep.
27
00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:21,448
[all laughing]
28
00:01:21,482 --> 00:01:23,275
He's got his fingers
in his ears now.
29
00:01:24,482 --> 00:01:26,586
[bleep]
30
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:28,000
[narrator] For five weeks,
31
00:01:28,034 --> 00:01:31,241
27-year-old Parker Schnabel and his team
32
00:01:31,275 --> 00:01:33,862
have traveled nearly 900 miles
33
00:01:33,896 --> 00:01:36,103
searching for the perfect wash plant
34
00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:38,103
for his new ground in Alaska.
35
00:01:38,137 --> 00:01:40,275
[Daniel] Now we're chewing
through these gearings now.
36
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:41,655
Yeah.
37
00:01:41,689 --> 00:01:45,586
[narrator] To realize the ground's $11 million potential,
38
00:01:45,620 --> 00:01:48,620
Parker needs to risk at least $5 million.
39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,965
[Parker] It's not about money, not about power,
40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,344
not about control.
41
00:01:54,379 --> 00:01:55,862
It's what I was bred to do.
42
00:01:55,896 --> 00:01:57,862
[narrator] At just five years old,
43
00:01:57,896 --> 00:02:03,172
Parker was panning in the creeks of Haines, Alaska, with his grandpa, John.
44
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:05,689
He has a vision that
he's going to make
45
00:02:05,724 --> 00:02:08,482
thousands of dollars every day
and I hope he's right.
46
00:02:08,517 --> 00:02:11,655
[narrator] 18-year-old Parker, struck out on his own
47
00:02:11,689 --> 00:02:14,448
to chase his dream of mining in the Yukon.
48
00:02:14,482 --> 00:02:16,034
Pick this spot, my man.
49
00:02:16,068 --> 00:02:17,758
[narrator] And over nine years,
50
00:02:17,793 --> 00:02:21,620
he's pulled $70 million of gold from the ground.
51
00:02:21,655 --> 00:02:25,206
8,309.75 ounces.
52
00:02:25,241 --> 00:02:27,586
[cheering]
53
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:31,620
[narrator] But on the brink of his biggest bet ever, he's wavering.
54
00:02:31,655 --> 00:02:33,068
[Parker] I don't experiment.
55
00:02:33,103 --> 00:02:35,275
I don't like doing
things that don't work.
56
00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:37,689
As far as owning a business goes, that's a flaw.
57
00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:39,034
You have to
be willing to fail.
58
00:02:39,068 --> 00:02:40,448
I don't like doing that.
59
00:02:40,482 --> 00:02:42,137
Don't you think sometimes
you might have bitten off
60
00:02:42,172 --> 00:02:44,241
a little bit
more than you can chew?
61
00:02:44,275 --> 00:02:46,517
I haven't pulled any triggers
62
00:02:46,551 --> 00:02:48,586
on any big-ticket items
for Fairbanks yet,
63
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:52,551
because I'm like,
[bleep] do I really want
to spend the $5 million?
64
00:02:58,793 --> 00:03:01,689
[narrator] Now with just two weeks left in New Zealand,
65
00:03:03,275 --> 00:03:07,068
Parker needs to pull the trigger on his biggest purchase...
66
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:12,344
a wash plant, or he risks derailing his Alaska operation.
67
00:03:13,965 --> 00:03:17,724
Feels like we've been to
every bloody mine settlement
everywhere possible.
68
00:03:17,758 --> 00:03:18,689
Yeah.
69
00:03:18,724 --> 00:03:19,724
[Tyler] To be honest,
70
00:03:19,758 --> 00:03:21,517
all the miners that'll have
wash plant to sell
71
00:03:21,551 --> 00:03:22,931
have pretty much dried up.
72
00:03:22,965 --> 00:03:24,482
Right.
73
00:03:24,517 --> 00:03:27,827
[narrator] The team leaves the gold-rich West Coast behind
74
00:03:27,862 --> 00:03:30,034
and head 300 miles south
75
00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:34,689
to the historic gold-producing region of Otago.
76
00:03:34,724 --> 00:03:36,379
[Tyler] It's a bit nerve-racking for me to leave
77
00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:38,551
the gold mining hub of New Zealand.
78
00:03:38,586 --> 00:03:40,103
I am worried from
here on out
79
00:03:40,137 --> 00:03:41,896
that there won't be any
wash plants for sale.
80
00:03:43,758 --> 00:03:45,103
- [Daniel] Really?
- Yeah.
81
00:03:45,137 --> 00:03:48,482
Contacts wise,
I have nothing in Otago.
82
00:03:50,344 --> 00:03:52,000
[Daniel]
Blimey, this is serious.
83
00:03:53,758 --> 00:03:55,724
So what's the plan?
84
00:03:55,758 --> 00:03:57,862
[Tyler] Yeah,
I'm winging it day-to-day.
85
00:03:57,896 --> 00:04:00,862
So basically my sole process
is head to Arrowtown,
86
00:04:00,896 --> 00:04:02,482
which is a historic
gold-mining town.
87
00:04:02,517 --> 00:04:04,137
The best place to start
in a new town
88
00:04:04,172 --> 00:04:06,517
when looking for gold mining
is just the gold shop,
I think.
89
00:04:06,551 --> 00:04:08,034
Right.
90
00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:10,241
To be honest, if he
doesn't have anything for us,
91
00:04:10,275 --> 00:04:11,724
I'm, um...
92
00:04:11,758 --> 00:04:12,827
You're done.
93
00:04:12,862 --> 00:04:14,137
Yeah. I'm at my end.
94
00:04:14,172 --> 00:04:15,448
Wow.
95
00:04:17,275 --> 00:04:19,793
You know,
let's hope he does.
96
00:04:19,827 --> 00:04:21,724
It could be
the last throw of the dice.
97
00:04:21,758 --> 00:04:23,000
Definitely could be.
98
00:04:34,896 --> 00:04:37,586
[Tyler] It looks like a true old little mining town.
99
00:04:37,620 --> 00:04:39,206
[Parker] Tyler, it's got
some history, you know?
100
00:04:39,241 --> 00:04:41,068
[Daniel] Yeah, totally.
101
00:04:41,103 --> 00:04:43,517
[narrator] Established in 1862,
102
00:04:43,551 --> 00:04:47,482
Arrowtown was at the center of the Otago Gold Rush.
103
00:04:47,517 --> 00:04:50,241
Over 292 tons of gold
104
00:04:50,275 --> 00:04:52,275
have been pulled from the region
105
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:55,965
worth over $15 billion in today's money.
106
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,724
But its gold reserves have largely been mined out
107
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:03,413
and the town now welcomes more tourists than miners.
108
00:05:03,448 --> 00:05:05,000
[Parker]
There's a gold shop.
109
00:05:06,655 --> 00:05:07,758
Hello.
110
00:05:07,793 --> 00:05:09,206
- [Justin] Good day.
- I'm Parker.
111
00:05:09,241 --> 00:05:11,000
- Parker, Justin.
- Justin. Nice to meet you.
112
00:05:11,034 --> 00:05:12,724
- Tyler. Nice to meet you.
- Tyler.
113
00:05:12,758 --> 00:05:14,137
- Hello, mate. I'm Danny.
- Danny.
114
00:05:14,172 --> 00:05:15,413
- Hey.
- Nice to meet you.
115
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:16,827
- [Tyler] We're in the right spot.
- [Parker] There's some gold.
116
00:05:16,862 --> 00:05:17,896
[Jeff] Holy, look at that.
117
00:05:17,931 --> 00:05:20,689
Your guys' gold
is just so much nicer looking.
118
00:05:20,724 --> 00:05:22,793
It's beautiful.
119
00:05:22,827 --> 00:05:26,413
[Justin] This is all locally
found, these pieces here.
120
00:05:26,448 --> 00:05:27,689
You see how smooth they are.
121
00:05:27,724 --> 00:05:29,103
That one had just
come out of the ground.
122
00:05:29,137 --> 00:05:30,275
See, it's still dirty.
123
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:31,379
[Parker] Whoa.
124
00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:33,034
[Tyler] That's
a really nice piece.
125
00:05:33,068 --> 00:05:34,551
[Justin] If you want
to come out the back,
126
00:05:34,586 --> 00:05:36,103
I'll show you some real gold.
127
00:05:36,137 --> 00:05:37,862
[Daniel] Yeah. Great.
128
00:05:37,896 --> 00:05:39,965
[Justin] Come
on through here.
129
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,034
This is where
all the gold miners come
to sell their gold.
130
00:05:42,068 --> 00:05:43,275
[Parker] Ah.
131
00:05:45,517 --> 00:05:47,689
[Justin] This is the largest
one we know of
132
00:05:47,724 --> 00:05:49,275
in existence in New Zealand.
133
00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:50,379
- [Tyler] Really?
- Really?
134
00:05:50,413 --> 00:05:51,448
[Justin] Yeah.
135
00:05:51,482 --> 00:05:52,620
[all] Wow!
136
00:05:52,655 --> 00:05:54,724
Big guy.
That was West Coast.
137
00:05:54,758 --> 00:05:56,241
- No way.
- Is it?
138
00:05:56,275 --> 00:05:58,172
Yeah.
It was found by a kiwi.
139
00:05:58,206 --> 00:06:01,206
He found 66 ounces
with a detector,
140
00:06:01,241 --> 00:06:02,206
just in this one spot.
141
00:06:02,241 --> 00:06:03,793
And that was, I mean,
25 years ago.
142
00:06:03,827 --> 00:06:04,862
[Parker] Wow!
143
00:06:04,896 --> 00:06:07,724
And this is what
sort of comes in
144
00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:10,241
- to this back room.
- Oh, yeah.
145
00:06:10,275 --> 00:06:13,689
Some of these guys are getting
some seriously fine gold
146
00:06:13,724 --> 00:06:16,275
with-- with a dredge,
all right.
147
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:19,068
- [Parker] Now that's some fine gold.
- [Justin] Yeah.
148
00:06:19,103 --> 00:06:21,137
[Tyler] We're actually in
New Zealand
looking at wash plants.
149
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:23,551
We have come from
the West Coast and, um,
150
00:06:23,586 --> 00:06:26,448
now we've made our way
down here and we're trying
to do the same thing.
151
00:06:26,482 --> 00:06:28,896
So, we thought we'd come
and see you, see if you
had any contacts at all.
152
00:06:30,034 --> 00:06:31,827
[Justin] There's not many
big wash plants left here.
153
00:06:34,517 --> 00:06:36,068
I've got one.
154
00:06:36,103 --> 00:06:37,931
I'll give the details.
155
00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:39,034
- [bleep]
- [Tyler] Thank you.
156
00:06:39,068 --> 00:06:40,241
- That'd be awesome.
- Sounds great.
157
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:41,551
[Justin] Yeah.
158
00:06:41,586 --> 00:06:43,793
This guy's plant,
it's just down the river.
159
00:06:43,827 --> 00:06:46,000
So I would head over
and have a look at that.
160
00:06:46,034 --> 00:06:47,620
[Tyler] Amazing.
Thank you.
161
00:06:48,758 --> 00:06:50,724
We better get
back on the road.
162
00:06:50,758 --> 00:06:51,965
[Parker]
Thanks for the contact.
163
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,034
- Justin, really appreciate.
- Hey. Nice to meet you guys.
164
00:06:54,068 --> 00:06:55,103
Thank you very much.
165
00:06:57,896 --> 00:06:59,517
That was awesome, wasn't it?
166
00:06:59,551 --> 00:07:01,068
[Tyler] Thank [bleep].
167
00:07:01,103 --> 00:07:02,172
[Daniel] Really good.
168
00:07:02,206 --> 00:07:03,310
I'm excited.
169
00:07:10,137 --> 00:07:11,931
[Tyler]
So I've made a call.
170
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:13,931
The guy's name is Andrew.
171
00:07:13,965 --> 00:07:16,413
He's got a wash plant
for sale.
172
00:07:16,448 --> 00:07:17,931
He's extremely busy.
173
00:07:17,965 --> 00:07:20,275
So this is why we're in
a little bit of a rush
at the moment.
174
00:07:20,310 --> 00:07:22,310
Basically just said to me,
"You've got to get here ASAP,
175
00:07:22,344 --> 00:07:24,310
I've got places to be."
176
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,103
Stressing me out
a little bit.
177
00:07:27,517 --> 00:07:29,344
[narrator] Wash plant owner Andrew
178
00:07:29,379 --> 00:07:33,206
is based 50 miles southeast of Arrowtown.
179
00:07:33,241 --> 00:07:35,448
[Daniel] Anything special
about this wash plant
we're gonna see?
180
00:07:35,482 --> 00:07:37,551
[Tyler] It's on tracks.
181
00:07:37,586 --> 00:07:39,206
We haven't seen that yet,
have we?
182
00:07:39,241 --> 00:07:40,310
- [Daniel] No.
- No.
183
00:07:40,344 --> 00:07:41,793
Do you like
wash plants on tracks?
184
00:07:41,827 --> 00:07:43,482
Is that something
that we'd consider?
185
00:07:43,517 --> 00:07:45,000
Yeah.
They're super mobile.
186
00:07:45,034 --> 00:07:46,344
You guys have built a few,
haven't you?
187
00:07:46,379 --> 00:07:47,448
Yeah.
188
00:07:47,482 --> 00:07:49,137
[Tyler] Could be
the perfect wash plant.
189
00:07:49,172 --> 00:07:50,344
Oh, there it is.
190
00:07:52,689 --> 00:07:54,000
[Daniel] The gate's closed.
191
00:07:55,034 --> 00:07:56,862
He just gonna
meet us here, or...
192
00:07:56,896 --> 00:07:58,103
[Jeff] You go open the gate.
193
00:07:58,137 --> 00:07:59,379
You got it?
Want me to get it?
194
00:07:59,413 --> 00:08:00,689
[Tyler] Oh, thank you.
195
00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:13,482
It's locked.
196
00:08:13,517 --> 00:08:15,620
[Daniel] Oh, [bleep].
197
00:08:15,655 --> 00:08:17,172
Calling Andrew.
198
00:08:21,482 --> 00:08:22,689
[Jeff] Can you
sneak through there?
199
00:08:22,724 --> 00:08:24,793
[Parker] I'm skinny,
but not that skinny.
200
00:08:24,827 --> 00:08:26,413
Andrew didn't answer.
201
00:08:26,448 --> 00:08:29,689
- [Daniel] Oh, my [bleep].
- [Jeff] Did we miss him?
202
00:08:29,724 --> 00:08:32,068
[narrator] With owner Andrew nowhere to be seen,
203
00:08:32,103 --> 00:08:36,344
the only wash plant on their list sits behind lock and key.
204
00:08:36,379 --> 00:08:37,896
- [Parker] Is this plant for sale?
- [Tyler] Yes.
205
00:08:37,931 --> 00:08:39,517
And he said
we could come look at it?
206
00:08:39,551 --> 00:08:41,310
But he was in a huge rush,
207
00:08:41,344 --> 00:08:43,172
and I said we'd be
there as quick as we can.
208
00:08:44,586 --> 00:08:46,000
I'm gonna look
at this wash plant.
209
00:08:48,379 --> 00:08:49,482
[Jeff] Me too.
210
00:08:51,655 --> 00:08:53,241
[Daniel] What are you doing?
211
00:08:53,275 --> 00:08:55,827
- Eh?
- [Jeff] Just take a quick look.
212
00:09:00,379 --> 00:09:02,068
[Daniel] Do you think he's
cool with this?
213
00:09:02,103 --> 00:09:04,206
[Tyler] I don't know.
But they already jumped over.
214
00:09:07,241 --> 00:09:08,344
Guys!
215
00:09:08,379 --> 00:09:09,448
[Parker] What?
216
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:13,896
[Jeff] That's a pretty good
conveyer on that.
217
00:09:15,241 --> 00:09:16,551
[Simon] Hey.
218
00:09:16,586 --> 00:09:17,689
[Tyler] Guys, guys.
219
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:18,758
[Daniel] Uh-oh.
220
00:09:18,793 --> 00:09:20,000
[Simon] What the hell?
221
00:09:20,034 --> 00:09:21,965
What are you guys doing here?
222
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,137
[Daniel] Oh, [bleep].
223
00:09:23,172 --> 00:09:24,206
[Tyler] Are you Andrew?
224
00:09:24,241 --> 00:09:25,827
- I'm Simon.
- Oh, sorry.
225
00:09:25,862 --> 00:09:27,655
Nice to meet you.
I'm Tyler.
226
00:09:27,689 --> 00:09:29,206
You're not meant
to be in here.
227
00:09:29,241 --> 00:09:30,586
The gate's locked.
228
00:09:30,620 --> 00:09:33,724
Sorry, that wasn't-- probably
the best way to go about it.
229
00:09:33,758 --> 00:09:35,793
[Parker] We talked to
the owner of this wash plant.
230
00:09:35,827 --> 00:09:37,068
Do you know Andrew?
231
00:09:37,103 --> 00:09:38,482
Do I know Andrew?
Yeah.
232
00:09:38,517 --> 00:09:39,896
Obviously, he's not about.
233
00:09:39,931 --> 00:09:42,000
No.
234
00:09:42,034 --> 00:09:43,275
[Parker] Do you
want us to leave?
235
00:09:50,034 --> 00:09:51,620
You're not meant
to be in here.
236
00:09:51,655 --> 00:09:52,862
The gate's locked.
237
00:09:52,896 --> 00:09:54,103
I realize that.
238
00:09:54,137 --> 00:09:55,586
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
239
00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:57,586
[narrator] In Otago, New Zealand,
240
00:09:57,620 --> 00:09:59,965
Parker and the team were trespassing.
241
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:04,000
Sorry, that wasn't-- probably
the best way to go about it.
242
00:10:04,379 --> 00:10:06,137
Um...
243
00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:08,379
It was a very rushed phone
call this morning with Andrew.
244
00:10:08,413 --> 00:10:09,965
So we legged it down
to get here in time.
245
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,827
You just missed him.
He left an hour ago.
246
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:14,379
[Tyler] Okay.
247
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:17,620
[Simon] Well, mate,
but perhaps you could
have a wee look around.
248
00:10:17,655 --> 00:10:19,068
[Tyler] Thank you.
249
00:10:19,103 --> 00:10:20,793
[Parker] Sorry
for breaking in.
250
00:10:20,827 --> 00:10:22,034
[Simon] We'll
forgive you this time.
251
00:10:22,068 --> 00:10:23,206
[laughing]
252
00:10:24,655 --> 00:10:26,482
[narrator] Foreman Simon Johnstone
253
00:10:26,517 --> 00:10:29,482
oversees all mining equipment on site.
254
00:10:29,517 --> 00:10:33,517
The plant for sale is a 6-foot trommel on tracks.
255
00:10:33,551 --> 00:10:36,379
We've only just mounted
this literally yesterday.
256
00:10:36,413 --> 00:10:37,482
- [Jeff] Oh, wow.
- Really?
257
00:10:37,517 --> 00:10:38,724
[Simon] Yeah.
258
00:10:38,758 --> 00:10:40,586
- [Parker] It's pretty long.
- [Simon] It is pretty long.
259
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,206
So it came off one
of the other plants.
260
00:10:42,241 --> 00:10:44,034
[Parker] Oh, got ya.
261
00:10:44,068 --> 00:10:48,620
[narrator] This customized plant can run 130 yards of dirt an hour.
262
00:10:48,655 --> 00:10:51,793
Its extra-long conveyor creates bigger tailings,
263
00:10:51,827 --> 00:10:55,344
allowing for longer run times between clearing it.
264
00:10:55,379 --> 00:10:59,448
And the tracks make it super mobile around a mine site.
265
00:10:59,482 --> 00:11:00,827
[Simon]
Track thing's pretty cool.
266
00:11:00,862 --> 00:11:02,655
You got to hook
a bulldozer on this end
267
00:11:02,689 --> 00:11:03,896
or a digger or whatever...
268
00:11:03,931 --> 00:11:05,758
- [Parker] Right. Just like a drag.
- ...to push it around.
269
00:11:05,793 --> 00:11:06,896
Yeah.
270
00:11:06,931 --> 00:11:08,379
- Mmm-hmm.
- [Tyler] Okay.
271
00:11:08,413 --> 00:11:10,551
[Daniel] Want to see
this moving about?
272
00:11:10,586 --> 00:11:12,517
[Parker] Yeah,
I'd like to test the track.
273
00:11:12,551 --> 00:11:14,655
[Simon] We haven't
actually moved this one yet.
274
00:11:14,689 --> 00:11:18,000
We're yet to find out whether
it falls on its nose or not.
275
00:11:18,034 --> 00:11:19,137
No, no.
276
00:11:19,172 --> 00:11:20,896
If they haven't-- if they just
put that conveyor on
277
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:22,724
and haven't moved it yet,
I'm not touching this thing.
278
00:11:22,758 --> 00:11:23,862
- [crew laughing]
- Come on, now.
279
00:11:23,896 --> 00:11:25,758
[Parker] Then
I will have to buy it.
280
00:11:25,793 --> 00:11:28,517
[narrator] To tow the custom plant for the first time,
281
00:11:28,551 --> 00:11:30,793
Parker hops behind the controls.
282
00:11:30,827 --> 00:11:33,034
Uh-oh, this--
what controls is this thing?
283
00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:46,379
[Daniel] Does not feel
like a comfortable
thing to be towing.
284
00:11:51,310 --> 00:11:53,275
[bleep]
285
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:55,827
[narrator] The 22-yard-long conveyor
286
00:11:55,862 --> 00:11:58,793
adds three tons to the far end of the plant,
287
00:11:58,827 --> 00:12:00,689
making it unstable.
288
00:12:00,724 --> 00:12:05,551
Any sudden jerks risk rocking it backwards onto its nose.
289
00:12:07,206 --> 00:12:09,448
Take the machine
back that way a wee bit.
290
00:12:11,310 --> 00:12:12,724
[Tyler] I think
the tracks are cool.
291
00:12:12,758 --> 00:12:13,896
[Daniel] Yeah.
292
00:12:18,103 --> 00:12:19,551
That there?
293
00:12:19,586 --> 00:12:20,758
Pretty good.
294
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:22,379
- Seems to work.
- [Jeff] Yeah.
295
00:12:22,413 --> 00:12:23,931
[Tyler] Yeah,
that seemed simple.
296
00:12:23,965 --> 00:12:25,206
[Simon] Yeah, I was getting
a wee bit worried.
297
00:12:25,241 --> 00:12:27,517
As soon as it's-- it got
a little bit of momentum
298
00:12:27,551 --> 00:12:28,586
and just off it went.
299
00:12:28,620 --> 00:12:29,586
[Tyler] With the tracks,
300
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:30,931
it's much easier to move it
this way, hey?
301
00:12:30,965 --> 00:12:31,931
Because without the tracks,
302
00:12:31,965 --> 00:12:34,000
you'd have had to drag it
all the way around.
303
00:12:34,034 --> 00:12:36,793
And I suppose you can
spin it on the spot
a bit easier as well, right?
304
00:12:36,827 --> 00:12:39,413
Yeah. Definitely
moves around super easy.
305
00:12:39,448 --> 00:12:40,931
See, on like big plants
306
00:12:40,965 --> 00:12:42,310
where it would make
a huge difference.
307
00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:43,827
Yeah. It's good, eh?
308
00:12:43,862 --> 00:12:45,137
[Parker] Yeah,
it's a nice machine.
309
00:12:45,172 --> 00:12:46,344
I really like it.
310
00:12:46,379 --> 00:12:48,275
But do you mind if we
have a little crawl around it?
311
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:49,344
- [Simon] Sure.
- All right.
312
00:12:49,379 --> 00:12:50,448
- Sweet.
- Awesome.
313
00:12:57,827 --> 00:13:00,586
So, to me,
this wash plant looks like
314
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,103
it would tick all
the right boxes.
315
00:13:02,137 --> 00:13:03,482
Honestly, though, we're in tight right now
316
00:13:03,517 --> 00:13:05,379
and I don't have anything else lined up.
317
00:13:05,413 --> 00:13:08,275
So, hopefully, this is the one he's going to buy.
318
00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:09,896
- [Jeff] What's that?
- [Parker] Come with me.
319
00:13:09,931 --> 00:13:11,206
[Jeff] Come with you.
I'm coming.
320
00:13:14,931 --> 00:13:16,448
[Parker] When you're moving
this around on the highway,
321
00:13:16,482 --> 00:13:19,172
- what do you take the hopper and the conveyor off?
- [Jeff] Yeah.
322
00:13:19,206 --> 00:13:21,137
[Parker] Because this problem
for us is getting Fairbanks
323
00:13:21,172 --> 00:13:22,758
working on different creeks
that are all connected
324
00:13:22,793 --> 00:13:24,068
by like public highways.
325
00:13:24,103 --> 00:13:25,827
So it's this weird thing where
we need to be both
326
00:13:25,862 --> 00:13:30,068
portable around one site,
but then also portable
from site to site.
327
00:13:30,103 --> 00:13:32,310
[Jeff] You're going
to be moving it down
the road,
328
00:13:32,344 --> 00:13:34,275
then, I mean,
size and height.
329
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:35,620
- That's always a thing.
- Right.
330
00:13:35,655 --> 00:13:37,689
Height wise with tracks,
there's no way
331
00:13:37,724 --> 00:13:39,793
you'd get it road legal
for sure.
332
00:13:41,172 --> 00:13:43,758
[narrator] Parker's new claims in Fairbanks, Alaska,
333
00:13:43,793 --> 00:13:46,275
are spread over 3,000 acres.
334
00:13:46,310 --> 00:13:50,103
Over time, he plans to mine multiple creeks.
335
00:13:50,137 --> 00:13:52,068
Any wash plant he buys
336
00:13:52,103 --> 00:13:55,758
will need to travel on public roads between the cuts,
337
00:13:55,793 --> 00:14:00,206
and so it must fit within road legal limits.
338
00:14:00,241 --> 00:14:02,724
So you're going to be
like tearing it down massively
339
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:04,172
to move it from site to site.
340
00:14:04,206 --> 00:14:06,275
And then perhaps without
any sluice runs or anything.
341
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:07,793
So that's a big
pain in the ass.
342
00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:13,206
[Simon] So what
did you think?
343
00:14:13,241 --> 00:14:14,482
[Parker] We're
gonna keep looking.
344
00:14:14,517 --> 00:14:16,620
- [Simon] No problem.
- Really appreciate it.
345
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:18,310
- [Tyler] Thank you.
- [Daniel] Thanks.
346
00:14:18,344 --> 00:14:20,689
Yet again, we move
further into this trip
347
00:14:20,724 --> 00:14:23,103
where we're seeing more and
more wash plants
348
00:14:23,137 --> 00:14:26,103
and yet we're not
buying any of them.
349
00:14:26,137 --> 00:14:28,103
I think there's a bigger picture thing going on here,
350
00:14:28,137 --> 00:14:30,137
and that is the actual commitment to Alaska,
351
00:14:30,172 --> 00:14:32,103
which is a $5 million venture
352
00:14:32,137 --> 00:14:34,206
before you've even
pulled a single bit of gold
out of the ground.
353
00:14:47,344 --> 00:14:48,896
[Tyler] Good night, guys.
354
00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:50,172
[Daniel] Good night, Tyler.
355
00:14:50,206 --> 00:14:51,448
[Jeff] Good night, man.
356
00:14:51,482 --> 00:14:53,275
[Parker] Good night.
357
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:55,068
[Tyler] I feel like...
358
00:14:55,931 --> 00:14:58,103
I'm at like--
at the end of my--
359
00:14:58,137 --> 00:14:59,793
Well, I am at the end of
my contacts,
360
00:14:59,827 --> 00:15:00,931
to be quite honest.
361
00:15:00,965 --> 00:15:02,931
If I don't deliver
on this trip
362
00:15:02,965 --> 00:15:05,689
and we leave New Zealand
without a wash plant,
363
00:15:05,724 --> 00:15:07,275
that's not a good look on me.
364
00:15:07,310 --> 00:15:10,034
At end right now, I do not have a plan B.
365
00:15:10,068 --> 00:15:13,827
In hindsight, it looks
like [indistinct]
366
00:15:13,862 --> 00:15:16,827
are the places to, um,
get a deal done.
367
00:15:16,862 --> 00:15:18,724
So I don't know what's
gonna happen now.
368
00:15:18,758 --> 00:15:21,827
Timing wise, we're starting
to get in a pretty bad spot.
369
00:15:21,862 --> 00:15:23,827
Not a good way
to start a season.
370
00:15:33,965 --> 00:15:35,172
[Daniel] That's a vegan substitute.
371
00:15:35,206 --> 00:15:36,310
Really good.
372
00:15:36,344 --> 00:15:37,482
- Nice?
- You want some.
373
00:15:37,517 --> 00:15:38,586
No, I'm all right.
374
00:15:38,620 --> 00:15:40,275
I like something
with nutrition in it.
375
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:42,034
[chuckles]
376
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,586
So what are we doing today?
377
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:48,344
Still keep our eyes open for
something here,
378
00:15:48,379 --> 00:15:50,413
if you can find something?
379
00:15:50,448 --> 00:15:52,241
[Tyler] We're gonna
go prospecting.
380
00:15:54,206 --> 00:15:55,793
See what they're
doing around here.
381
00:15:55,827 --> 00:15:57,413
I'm scraping the
bottom of the barrel.
382
00:15:59,344 --> 00:16:01,206
But we could learn something.
383
00:16:01,241 --> 00:16:02,517
[Daniel] All right.
384
00:16:02,551 --> 00:16:05,724
Well, once you've had those,
I suppose
let's get on the road.
385
00:16:05,758 --> 00:16:08,655
[narrator] With no wash plants left to see,
386
00:16:08,689 --> 00:16:11,034
the team head north to go prospecting.
387
00:16:12,344 --> 00:16:13,931
[Daniel] Oh, my gosh.
388
00:16:13,965 --> 00:16:15,965
[Tyler] Wow, so blue!
389
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,275
[Daniel] I know, I know.
390
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:20,793
[narrator] Passing Lake Wakatipu, at 52 miles,
391
00:16:20,827 --> 00:16:22,862
it's New Zealand's longest lake.
392
00:16:22,896 --> 00:16:24,827
And the water is so
clear because
393
00:16:24,862 --> 00:16:27,206
it's glacial and it's so fresh
and clean and beautiful.
394
00:16:27,241 --> 00:16:28,620
And cold.
395
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:30,000
Seriously cold.
396
00:16:32,379 --> 00:16:34,310
Pull over here.
397
00:16:34,344 --> 00:16:35,931
I got an idea.
398
00:16:38,482 --> 00:16:39,551
Come on now.
399
00:16:39,586 --> 00:16:41,172
You're so slow.
400
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:47,379
Water feels nice.
401
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:48,482
[Daniel] Does it?
402
00:16:48,517 --> 00:16:49,689
Yeah.
403
00:16:49,724 --> 00:16:51,172
That's freezing.
404
00:16:51,206 --> 00:16:52,482
Are you actually going in?
405
00:16:52,517 --> 00:16:53,724
Yeah, we all are.
406
00:16:53,758 --> 00:16:54,862
- No, man.
- [Tyler] What?
407
00:16:54,896 --> 00:16:56,275
It's freezing.
408
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:59,482
[Parker] First one out owes
the group four rounds of beer,
409
00:16:59,517 --> 00:17:01,517
and the winner that stays
in the longest
410
00:17:01,551 --> 00:17:03,448
gets to drink all the beer.
411
00:17:03,482 --> 00:17:04,551
[Tyler laughing]
412
00:17:04,586 --> 00:17:06,551
[Parker] Yeah.
413
00:17:06,586 --> 00:17:08,310
[narrator] Glacial waters average
414
00:17:08,344 --> 00:17:11,689
an icy 48 degrees Fahrenheit year round.
415
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,413
Just 5 minutes in water this cold
416
00:17:16,448 --> 00:17:19,137
and hypothermia can begin to set in.
417
00:17:19,172 --> 00:17:20,275
[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep]!
418
00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:21,379
[Daniel] Oh, yeah?
419
00:17:22,275 --> 00:17:24,000
[babbling]
420
00:17:24,620 --> 00:17:25,931
[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep]!
421
00:17:25,965 --> 00:17:27,034
[Daniel] Oh.
422
00:17:27,068 --> 00:17:28,275
Hang away.
423
00:17:31,413 --> 00:17:32,689
[Tyler screaming]
424
00:17:34,275 --> 00:17:35,689
Oh, my [bleep]!
425
00:17:37,068 --> 00:17:39,103
[laughing] Breathe.
426
00:17:39,137 --> 00:17:41,034
Breathe, breathe, breathe.
427
00:17:41,068 --> 00:17:42,413
Long slow breath.
428
00:17:42,448 --> 00:17:43,551
Come on, stay.
429
00:17:43,586 --> 00:17:45,068
No.
430
00:17:45,103 --> 00:17:46,172
[Parker] Are you done, Tyler?
431
00:17:46,206 --> 00:17:47,965
- Are you done?
- I'm tapping out.
432
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,172
[Daniel] You're tapping out?
433
00:17:49,206 --> 00:17:51,206
[Tyler] [bleep] four beers.
I'll never do it in my life.
434
00:17:51,241 --> 00:17:53,379
[all laughing]
435
00:17:55,137 --> 00:17:58,517
[Daniel]
Oh, here comes the pain.
436
00:17:58,551 --> 00:17:59,965
[Parker] Do you feel it
in your armpits?
437
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,862
Let your arms down.
438
00:18:03,310 --> 00:18:04,931
[Daniel] My armpits are cold.
439
00:18:04,965 --> 00:18:06,655
Aah!
440
00:18:06,689 --> 00:18:08,137
Tyler.
Have you seen him?
441
00:18:08,172 --> 00:18:10,103
- [Daniel] She's on the phone.
- [Jeff] Get off the phone.
442
00:18:10,137 --> 00:18:11,172
[Daniel] Get off the phone.
443
00:18:11,206 --> 00:18:12,827
Amazing. Thank you.
Ping me the location.
444
00:18:12,862 --> 00:18:13,965
That's awesome.
445
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,206
Thank you.
446
00:18:15,241 --> 00:18:16,793
Guys, we've gotta go.
447
00:18:16,827 --> 00:18:19,551
Justin just gave us
a really great contact.
448
00:18:19,586 --> 00:18:21,034
We've actually gotta go.
449
00:18:21,068 --> 00:18:23,827
[narrator] Last-minute lead from the gold shop owner
450
00:18:23,862 --> 00:18:26,793
and their search for a wash plant is back on.
451
00:18:28,655 --> 00:18:30,344
- [Daniel] Thank you!
- You need to get out.
452
00:18:30,379 --> 00:18:32,379
[Daniel] You're
going to lose.
453
00:18:32,413 --> 00:18:34,241
Okay.
I'm going to go now.
454
00:18:35,413 --> 00:18:37,379
[bleep] I can't feel my feet.
455
00:18:39,310 --> 00:18:40,724
I can't.
456
00:18:40,758 --> 00:18:42,862
I can't feel my body.
457
00:18:42,896 --> 00:18:44,689
[Daniel] Well done, Jeff.
458
00:18:44,724 --> 00:18:46,758
That was wicked!
459
00:18:48,517 --> 00:18:50,655
All right, guys.
Gotta get back on the road.
460
00:18:53,965 --> 00:18:55,310
No, it's great.
461
00:18:55,344 --> 00:18:56,689
I'm-- I'm fine.
462
00:18:56,724 --> 00:18:59,206
[teeth chattering]
463
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:00,655
Look,
we've got an aggregate yard.
464
00:19:00,689 --> 00:19:02,862
- [Daniel] There could be something down there, right?
- [Parker] Yeah.
465
00:19:02,896 --> 00:19:04,931
[Tyler] I'm still really keen
to do some prospecting.
466
00:19:06,034 --> 00:19:07,724
[Parker] So why don't you guys
go check that out,
467
00:19:07,758 --> 00:19:09,482
and Dan and I will go
check out the aggregate yard.
468
00:19:09,517 --> 00:19:10,551
- [Tyler] Perfect.
- [Jeff] Cool.
469
00:19:10,586 --> 00:19:12,206
[Parker] Find us some gold,
Ty. Have fun.
470
00:19:23,586 --> 00:19:25,724
Just go buy
yourself a massive wash plant.
471
00:19:25,758 --> 00:19:27,103
How hard can it be?
472
00:19:27,137 --> 00:19:30,137
[narrator] In Otago, New Zealand, the team have split,
473
00:19:30,172 --> 00:19:33,275
while Parker and Danny head to an aggregate yard.
474
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:34,517
Right.
475
00:19:34,551 --> 00:19:36,586
Keep your eyeballs peeled.
476
00:19:36,620 --> 00:19:38,655
[narrator] 45 miles north,
477
00:19:38,689 --> 00:19:41,034
Tyler and Jeff head into the mountains
478
00:19:41,068 --> 00:19:44,965
to meet Rusty, a local gold miner to go prospecting.
479
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,275
[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep].
480
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:48,482
- [Jeff] Is this the-- Are you sure?
- That's a helicopter.
481
00:19:48,517 --> 00:19:49,620
[Tyler] That must be Rusty.
482
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:51,000
Let's go meet him, hey.
483
00:19:54,275 --> 00:19:55,172
I'm Tyler.
484
00:19:56,689 --> 00:19:58,068
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, Rusty.
485
00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:00,896
You know,
we're going in this to
and, um...
486
00:20:03,103 --> 00:20:04,896
Oh, my [bleep].
Amazing!
487
00:20:04,931 --> 00:20:06,344
Thank you.
488
00:20:06,379 --> 00:20:08,103
[Jeff] This is going
to be awesome.
489
00:20:08,137 --> 00:20:10,620
[Tyler] I feel like we got
the long end of the straw
as well with this.
490
00:20:10,655 --> 00:20:12,793
Parker and Danny are
going to be spewing.
491
00:20:12,827 --> 00:20:14,896
[laughing]
492
00:20:21,965 --> 00:20:24,793
[narrator] Rusty's claim lies in Skippers Canyon,
493
00:20:24,827 --> 00:20:30,413
a gorge carved out over millions of years by the Shotover River.
494
00:20:30,448 --> 00:20:35,068
In 1863, it became known as the richest river in the world,
495
00:20:35,103 --> 00:20:37,344
when 300 ounces of gold
496
00:20:37,379 --> 00:20:40,413
was found on its banks in a single afternoon.
497
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:44,896
Now a protected site, only a few miners are granted access.
498
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:48,000
[Tyler] Rusty,
this is amazing.
499
00:20:52,896 --> 00:20:53,965
Sounds like a plan.
500
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,724
Okay, so we better
get changed then.
501
00:20:56,758 --> 00:20:58,517
- Let's do it.
- All right.
502
00:20:58,551 --> 00:21:02,379
I've never dredged before,
but I'm excited to get in
and give it a go.
503
00:21:02,413 --> 00:21:04,862
I'm really hoping we do see some gold.
504
00:21:04,896 --> 00:21:09,206
If we go back
to Parker with nothing,
it might not go down too well.
505
00:21:15,137 --> 00:21:18,206
[Daniel] This is probably
the last place
we're gonna look at
506
00:21:18,241 --> 00:21:20,586
as far as assessing equipment.
507
00:21:20,620 --> 00:21:22,275
[narrator] 45 miles south...
508
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:24,034
[Parker] I think
when we're trying
to find wash plants
509
00:21:24,068 --> 00:21:26,724
and we end up at, uh,
sand and gravel pit.
510
00:21:26,758 --> 00:21:28,241
[Daniel] Yeah,
it was a little bit like
511
00:21:28,275 --> 00:21:30,137
we're coming
to the end of the road.
512
00:21:35,482 --> 00:21:38,448
[narrator] The Urns Clue aggregate yard produces gravel
513
00:21:38,482 --> 00:21:40,827
and sand for road construction.
514
00:21:43,068 --> 00:21:46,068
To screen out rocks used to build roads,
515
00:21:46,103 --> 00:21:50,310
they use similar processes and equipment to placer mining.
516
00:21:50,344 --> 00:21:53,517
It could be the perfect place to pick up a wash plant.
517
00:21:53,551 --> 00:21:55,482
- Hi, I'm Parker. This is Dan.
- Hey, Jack.
518
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,586
We got told you guys
might have some stuff
519
00:21:58,620 --> 00:22:01,206
for sale,
particularly wash plants.
520
00:22:05,034 --> 00:22:07,275
Sweet.
521
00:22:07,310 --> 00:22:08,517
There's a lot going on here.
522
00:22:10,862 --> 00:22:13,517
[Daniel] What the bloody
[bleep] is that?
523
00:22:13,551 --> 00:22:15,344
Something
out of Mad Max.
524
00:22:16,758 --> 00:22:20,172
How's it going?
I'm Parker. This is Dan.
525
00:22:20,206 --> 00:22:21,827
Hello, mate.
Nice to meet you.
526
00:22:21,862 --> 00:22:22,965
Nice to meet you too.
527
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,482
[Daniel] What is this thing?
528
00:22:25,965 --> 00:22:28,482
An all-in-one
dry screening plant.
529
00:22:32,448 --> 00:22:33,793
Thanks a lot, Jack.
530
00:22:33,827 --> 00:22:38,275
[narrator] Jack's plant is worth $250,000.
531
00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:39,586
But no washing
takes place in here--
532
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:41,275
- [Parker] No, it's all dry.
- It's all dry.
533
00:22:41,310 --> 00:22:42,827
[Parker] Super slick.
534
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:44,655
So they make these
that have 'em wet.
535
00:22:45,896 --> 00:22:47,379
[Parker]
I guess you can retrofit
one of these
536
00:22:47,413 --> 00:22:50,896
into a wet screen plant
that was washing gold?
537
00:22:55,551 --> 00:22:57,137
[Parker] All right, cool.
538
00:23:01,034 --> 00:23:03,620
- I mean, this is what... this is Gucci kit, right?
- Right.
539
00:23:03,655 --> 00:23:05,931
- Like something out of Star Wars.
- [Parker] Yeah, I love it.
540
00:23:05,965 --> 00:23:07,344
I mean, that's cool.
541
00:23:10,689 --> 00:23:13,862
[narrator] The dry screening plant has a feed belt
542
00:23:13,896 --> 00:23:18,310
running over the reverse shaker deck, making it small and compact.
543
00:23:22,103 --> 00:23:24,517
To run it as a wash plant in Alaska,
544
00:23:24,551 --> 00:23:26,724
Parker would need to add spray bars,
545
00:23:26,758 --> 00:23:32,206
creating a wet screen and replace the back conveyor with sluice runs.
546
00:23:35,724 --> 00:23:37,620
Oh, sweet!
547
00:23:37,655 --> 00:23:39,965
Being here definitely kind of
reminds me of my childhood.
548
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,724
My dad had a gravel pit.
549
00:23:41,758 --> 00:23:44,827
I grew up around crusher foremen and floaters.
550
00:23:44,862 --> 00:23:46,000
It's always kind of cool.
551
00:23:47,482 --> 00:23:50,000
Do you throw
a whole bucket at once
or do you kind of have to...
552
00:24:00,724 --> 00:24:04,034
[narrator] Currently running at 155 yards an hour,
553
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:07,241
once converted, it could hit 200.
554
00:24:07,275 --> 00:24:11,206
[Parker] Placer mining is such a specialized industry that nothing's made for it.
555
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:13,793
You know, like pretty much everything's custom.
556
00:24:20,620 --> 00:24:24,000
[Rusty speaking]
557
00:24:25,448 --> 00:24:27,448
[narrator] On the Shotover River...
558
00:24:27,482 --> 00:24:29,275
[Tyler] Guys,
I've got a good feeling.
559
00:24:29,310 --> 00:24:30,758
- Let's do it.
- All right.
560
00:24:32,827 --> 00:24:34,965
...Tyler and Jeff are suction dredging.
561
00:24:47,172 --> 00:24:50,551
[narrator] Rusty mostly catches fine gold with his dredge,
562
00:24:50,586 --> 00:24:52,620
but 3-ounce nuggets have been found
563
00:24:52,655 --> 00:24:55,068
in this section of the river in recent years.
564
00:25:08,758 --> 00:25:11,413
[Tyler speaking]
565
00:25:11,448 --> 00:25:12,724
[Jeff speaking]
566
00:25:12,758 --> 00:25:14,724
[Tyler speaking]
567
00:25:16,034 --> 00:25:19,448
[Tyler speaking]
568
00:25:27,482 --> 00:25:28,586
[Jeff] Oh, [bleep].
569
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:29,931
[Tyler] Oh, my [bleep]!
570
00:25:32,275 --> 00:25:34,068
[Tyler] I've had a lot of anxiety this trip
571
00:25:34,103 --> 00:25:35,896
that I'm not going
to be delivering
572
00:25:35,931 --> 00:25:37,965
the right kind of wash plants
and people.
573
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,310
So today's been really good for that.
574
00:25:39,344 --> 00:25:41,000
We've been able to break away from the boys
575
00:25:41,034 --> 00:25:44,689
for a couple of hours
and managed to find some gold.
576
00:25:44,724 --> 00:25:46,344
To be honest,
I had so much fun today.
577
00:25:46,379 --> 00:25:49,655
I kinda forgot the fact that,
you know, we're under the gun
578
00:25:49,689 --> 00:25:51,172
and we need
to get this stuff done.
579
00:25:51,206 --> 00:25:53,172
We really should be just hunkering down
580
00:25:53,206 --> 00:25:55,206
and figuring out the wash plants.
581
00:25:55,241 --> 00:25:57,448
Is it okay if we catch
a ride back into town?
582
00:25:59,206 --> 00:26:01,034
- Awesome. Thank you, Rusty.
- Awesome.
583
00:26:09,137 --> 00:26:11,517
[narrator] Back at Urns Clue aggregate yard...
584
00:26:11,551 --> 00:26:13,172
- [Daniel] Pretty cool, isn't it?
- [Parker] Yeah.
585
00:26:13,206 --> 00:26:16,310
[narrator] ...Parker must decide if the plant is worth buying.
586
00:26:17,793 --> 00:26:20,172
[Daniel] Would you utilize
something like this?
587
00:26:20,206 --> 00:26:23,137
[Parker] It would be hard
to retrofit this to be wet,
588
00:26:23,172 --> 00:26:24,379
but you don't have
much tolerance
589
00:26:24,413 --> 00:26:26,655
for where the spray bars
would be, you know?
590
00:26:26,689 --> 00:26:29,448
[narrator] Complex plant conversions can take months
591
00:26:29,482 --> 00:26:32,068
and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
592
00:26:32,103 --> 00:26:34,034
Probably be better off
starting from scratch.
593
00:26:34,068 --> 00:26:36,241
[Craig speaking]
594
00:26:40,275 --> 00:26:43,586
You don't need us
holding you up anymore.
Appreciate it.
595
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:45,172
Thanks, Craig.
Take it easy, mate.
596
00:26:47,482 --> 00:26:50,344
[Daniel] We're here to buy wash plant, and that's not happening.
597
00:26:50,379 --> 00:26:52,344
I feel like we might need to start thinking about
598
00:26:52,379 --> 00:26:54,896
the new plant
because every second
599
00:26:54,931 --> 00:26:59,034
that we're wasting now
is a second wasted in Alaska.
600
00:27:00,482 --> 00:27:02,758
Feels like we've hit a, uh,
we've hit a dead end.
601
00:27:02,793 --> 00:27:03,896
Yep.
602
00:27:03,931 --> 00:27:05,517
And we have to decide
to either bite the bullet
603
00:27:05,551 --> 00:27:07,000
and buy one of the plants
that we didn't buy
604
00:27:07,034 --> 00:27:10,517
that we've already seen
or accept that
605
00:27:10,551 --> 00:27:12,379
we're never gonna find
what we're looking for
606
00:27:12,413 --> 00:27:13,896
that's already
built and out there.
607
00:27:13,931 --> 00:27:15,482
Yeah.
608
00:27:15,517 --> 00:27:20,482
I think that the four of us
need to get together
and put a bullet in this.
609
00:27:28,275 --> 00:27:30,034
Okay, we got one wine
with a fly in it
610
00:27:30,068 --> 00:27:31,551
and one without.
Which one you want?
611
00:27:31,586 --> 00:27:33,275
- [Tyler] I'll have the fly.
- Okay.
612
00:27:33,310 --> 00:27:35,620
[narrator] In Otago, New Zealand,
613
00:27:35,655 --> 00:27:40,137
with no wash plants left to see, it's decision time.
614
00:27:40,172 --> 00:27:42,517
Okay. I'm gonna be
brutally honest.
615
00:27:44,172 --> 00:27:45,689
I've got nothing left
in store.
616
00:27:49,827 --> 00:27:51,896
I mean, there's only so many
wash plants in a country.
617
00:27:52,931 --> 00:27:55,000
Yep.
We've seen a lot.
618
00:27:57,103 --> 00:28:00,689
[narrator] Parker's viewed 13 wash plants across New Zealand.
619
00:28:00,724 --> 00:28:03,103
- Plants everywhere really.
- Yeah, mate.
620
00:28:04,724 --> 00:28:07,620
It really is so impressive.
621
00:28:07,655 --> 00:28:10,724
[narrator] Ten trommels, two of them floating.
622
00:28:10,758 --> 00:28:12,448
It's just not
what we're looking for.
623
00:28:12,482 --> 00:28:16,241
[narrator] A dredge, a shaker deck and a dry screen...
624
00:28:16,275 --> 00:28:18,068
Really appreciate it.
625
00:28:18,103 --> 00:28:21,068
[narrator] ...but he still hasn't found the one.
626
00:28:21,103 --> 00:28:23,103
[Parker] By having, like,
seen so many plants
627
00:28:23,137 --> 00:28:27,344
and we're like trying
to find something
that doesn't probably exist.
628
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:28,965
Different things
that you want on it,
629
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,448
it's quite a detailed spec
you've got going on.
630
00:28:33,482 --> 00:28:35,551
Finding something
that's perfect,
631
00:28:35,586 --> 00:28:36,689
really, really hard to do.
632
00:28:40,517 --> 00:28:42,413
Well, that brings me
to, you know, we...
633
00:28:42,448 --> 00:28:45,758
we could go down the road
to designing a wash plant.
634
00:28:45,793 --> 00:28:49,965
To find the perfect plant,
the only way to do it
is just to [bleep] build it.
635
00:28:52,103 --> 00:28:54,586
I think we have enough ideas
from all the plants
we've seen.
636
00:28:56,448 --> 00:28:59,034
Something mobile
with a good pre-wash.
637
00:28:59,068 --> 00:29:01,137
I'll make sure
it's bang on 100%.
638
00:29:02,965 --> 00:29:05,793
If we build a plant,
even just the design
is gonna take some time.
639
00:29:05,827 --> 00:29:07,965
Yep. Yeah, it's definitely
gonna take a bit of time.
640
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,551
It depends on what road
we go down in.
641
00:29:10,586 --> 00:29:13,551
Critical factors for me
were trommel or shaker.
642
00:29:13,586 --> 00:29:15,655
If it's a shaker, what size?
643
00:29:15,689 --> 00:29:18,379
'Cause we can make
all the design in the time
that we order that.
644
00:29:19,931 --> 00:29:22,034
[Parker]
What kind of timeline
are we at right now?
645
00:29:22,068 --> 00:29:23,655
Three to four months.
646
00:29:23,689 --> 00:29:27,379
Well, that's already puts
into the season by a bit.
647
00:29:27,413 --> 00:29:28,689
Right.
648
00:29:28,724 --> 00:29:30,482
[Daniel]
The quicker you wanna
get this sort of thing
649
00:29:30,517 --> 00:29:31,965
going down the road,
the better.
650
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,137
We're at a stage now,
651
00:29:33,172 --> 00:29:36,206
it's the case of you literally
pressing go on something.
652
00:29:38,344 --> 00:29:40,241
So what are we doing?
653
00:29:40,275 --> 00:29:41,655
Building, buying?
654
00:29:43,206 --> 00:29:45,448
I... I don't know
what I wanna do.
655
00:29:45,482 --> 00:29:46,724
Okay.
656
00:29:48,586 --> 00:29:50,379
Yeah, I know, I know.
657
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:53,896
[Daniel] I think it is time
for you to start making
some decisions.
658
00:29:53,931 --> 00:29:55,206
It is time.
659
00:29:57,379 --> 00:29:59,137
[Parker] This some sort of...
660
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,000
- Intervention?
- ...intervention.
661
00:30:01,034 --> 00:30:03,172
We've checked you
into a center.
662
00:30:03,206 --> 00:30:05,068
- A decision-making center?
- Yeah.
663
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:06,379
Shut the [bleep] up!
664
00:30:06,413 --> 00:30:07,827
[Tyler laughing]
665
00:30:07,862 --> 00:30:10,206
I'm not being indecisive.
666
00:30:10,241 --> 00:30:12,896
Not knowing what you want
is different
than being indecisive.
667
00:30:12,931 --> 00:30:15,275
Yeah, it's not...
it's not indecision.
668
00:30:15,310 --> 00:30:17,482
It's just not pulling
the trigger.
669
00:30:17,517 --> 00:30:19,448
Your fingers like hovering
over the button,
670
00:30:19,482 --> 00:30:21,310
but you're just
not quite pushing it.
671
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:28,793
[Jeff] I would love to build a plant for sure.
672
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,827
We've thrown a few ideas
back and forth at each other
673
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:34,965
and I think he trusts me
and I'm pretty sure I know
what he wants.
674
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,379
But I'm not sure how we push him over the edge to get an answer.
675
00:30:39,413 --> 00:30:40,758
[Parker] Right now, I don't know that
676
00:30:40,793 --> 00:30:43,172
there's a way of telling
what is the right decision.
677
00:30:43,206 --> 00:30:44,620
Probably the most
dangerous things to do
678
00:30:44,655 --> 00:30:47,448
is kind of dance in between
those two things.
679
00:30:48,931 --> 00:30:51,034
[Jeff] If Parker doesn't come up with some answers,
680
00:30:51,068 --> 00:30:54,034
he's gonna be well
into his season
before he gets the plant.
681
00:30:58,586 --> 00:31:00,724
[narrator] To push Parker to make a decision,
682
00:31:00,758 --> 00:31:05,137
Jeff and Tyler hatch a plan and head out to the countryside.
683
00:31:05,172 --> 00:31:08,344
We don't have any time
left on this trip for Parker
to be indecisive.
684
00:31:08,379 --> 00:31:11,379
So Jeff and I have a super exciting surprise.
685
00:31:11,413 --> 00:31:15,068
I'm really hoping that today
is gonna reset the team,
reset Parker.
686
00:31:15,103 --> 00:31:16,689
He's gonna come out of it
with a clear mind.
687
00:31:16,724 --> 00:31:18,931
And we're gonna be
able to sit down
688
00:31:18,965 --> 00:31:20,551
and make the decision
and move forward.
689
00:31:22,862 --> 00:31:25,068
[narrator] 10 miles south...
690
00:31:25,103 --> 00:31:27,448
[Daniel laughing] Man!
691
00:31:28,931 --> 00:31:32,517
This is like
real picture postcard stuff.
692
00:31:32,551 --> 00:31:35,103
[narrator] Parker and Danny drive to meet them,
693
00:31:35,137 --> 00:31:38,137
unaware that Tyler's sent them the scenic route.
694
00:31:41,931 --> 00:31:43,758
[Daniel]
Mate, look at the drop.
695
00:31:43,793 --> 00:31:45,586
[laughs]
696
00:31:46,586 --> 00:31:47,862
Yeah.
697
00:31:47,896 --> 00:31:51,689
[narrator] The treacherous 14-mile-long Skippers Road
698
00:31:51,724 --> 00:31:55,896
is perched 600 feet above the Shotover river.
699
00:31:55,931 --> 00:32:00,310
Built in 1883 to bring mining equipment into the valley,
700
00:32:00,344 --> 00:32:03,344
it took 17 years to complete.
701
00:32:03,379 --> 00:32:07,862
It's known as one of the most dangerous roads in the world.
702
00:32:07,896 --> 00:32:13,482
I look at what you're doing,
your dive into Alaska.
703
00:32:13,517 --> 00:32:15,448
And I just think, "Geez.
704
00:32:15,482 --> 00:32:17,379
So daunting."
705
00:32:17,413 --> 00:32:20,103
If this were our
mining operation in the Yukon
706
00:32:20,137 --> 00:32:22,448
and just another
old decision to make,
707
00:32:22,482 --> 00:32:23,793
it would have been made
long ago.
708
00:32:25,724 --> 00:32:27,862
To make decisions
without fear,
709
00:32:27,896 --> 00:32:30,241
that's definitely
a useful thing.
710
00:32:30,275 --> 00:32:31,724
- Yeah.
- You know?
711
00:32:31,758 --> 00:32:34,862
And then as you get older,
the fear starts to creep in
a little bit.
712
00:32:34,896 --> 00:32:36,862
And my reputation
is all built on...
713
00:32:36,896 --> 00:32:39,275
built on success
and what if I don't
maintain that?
714
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:43,931
And I can maintain that
as long as I don't take risks,
right?
715
00:32:43,965 --> 00:32:45,827
[Daniel] But you have to
take risks to be successful.
716
00:32:49,689 --> 00:32:53,172
If 20-year-old Parker knew
that 27-year-old Parker
717
00:32:53,206 --> 00:32:54,862
was sitting here
talking about fear,
718
00:32:54,896 --> 00:32:58,620
he'd be like,
"You weak [bleep]."
719
00:32:58,655 --> 00:33:00,655
He would. He so would.
720
00:33:02,413 --> 00:33:05,827
I'll pocket the 2 grand
and take the $1,500
worth of fuel.
721
00:33:07,137 --> 00:33:10,172
So that was easy.
722
00:33:10,206 --> 00:33:13,103
[narrator] Since a teenager, Parker has been fearless.
723
00:33:13,137 --> 00:33:16,241
At the end of the day,
something needs to change.
724
00:33:16,275 --> 00:33:18,724
Now's the time to be pushing
for everything we can.
725
00:33:18,758 --> 00:33:20,689
[narrator] Charging forward on instinct.
726
00:33:20,724 --> 00:33:23,551
Give me one good reason
not to tell you to go
[bleep] yourself.
727
00:33:23,586 --> 00:33:26,448
[narrator] And never shying away from bold decisions.
728
00:33:26,482 --> 00:33:29,206
I'm a real underachieving
21-year-old,
that's for sure.
729
00:33:29,241 --> 00:33:33,344
[narrator] An attitude that has earned him over 48,000 ounces in gold.
730
00:33:33,379 --> 00:33:35,931
[Chris] You guys,
you just broke another record.
731
00:33:35,965 --> 00:33:37,206
Free beer on Parker!
732
00:33:37,241 --> 00:33:39,758
[laughs]
733
00:33:39,793 --> 00:33:43,241
[narrator] Now, on the brink of his biggest endeavor ever,
734
00:33:43,275 --> 00:33:44,793
Parker is struggling.
735
00:33:44,827 --> 00:33:46,793
What on earth
are you scared about?
736
00:33:50,241 --> 00:33:54,103
Our pin appears to be
taking us nearer to that.
737
00:33:54,137 --> 00:33:55,241
Yeah.
738
00:33:55,275 --> 00:33:57,310
- What is that?
- [Parker] Isn't that a bungee jump?
739
00:33:57,344 --> 00:33:58,965
[Daniel] Oh, my [bleep].
740
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,931
Oh, my [bleep].
741
00:34:00,965 --> 00:34:02,068
[laughs]
742
00:34:02,103 --> 00:34:04,689
[Daniel]
If that's what we're doing,
I'm out of here.
743
00:34:04,724 --> 00:34:06,931
[laughs]
744
00:34:06,965 --> 00:34:10,586
[babbling maniacally]
745
00:34:12,793 --> 00:34:14,758
What's up losers?
746
00:34:14,793 --> 00:34:16,206
Are we gonna
do a bungee jump?
747
00:34:16,241 --> 00:34:19,655
[Daniel]
We saw one on the way in
on that old rickety bridge.
748
00:34:19,689 --> 00:34:21,034
Are you gonna
tell him or am I?
749
00:34:22,379 --> 00:34:23,517
[Daniel] Really?
750
00:34:23,551 --> 00:34:24,965
We're going bungee jumping.
751
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,068
[Parker] No!
752
00:34:26,103 --> 00:34:27,206
- Yeah.
- Oh, come on.
753
00:34:27,241 --> 00:34:28,275
[bleep]
754
00:34:28,310 --> 00:34:30,034
I just thought this would be
like a nice little
755
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:31,206
distraction for us.
756
00:34:31,241 --> 00:34:32,379
So then afterwards,
we can reset
757
00:34:32,413 --> 00:34:33,448
and kind of get
a plan together.
758
00:34:33,482 --> 00:34:34,793
[Parker] Nice little
near-death experience?
759
00:34:34,827 --> 00:34:36,241
Yeah.
760
00:34:36,275 --> 00:34:37,965
People don't die
bungee jumping, do they?
761
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,482
- [Tyler] Yeah.
- Yes.
762
00:34:39,517 --> 00:34:41,724
- Really?
- Definitely.
763
00:34:41,758 --> 00:34:43,586
I'm... I'm not making
a decision on this one
764
00:34:43,620 --> 00:34:44,827
until we get down there.
765
00:34:44,862 --> 00:34:46,068
Well, let's go
look at it then.
766
00:34:48,482 --> 00:34:50,034
My [bleep]!
767
00:34:51,586 --> 00:34:53,586
I don't wanna look.
I haven't looked.
768
00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:54,793
- [Jeff] You have to look.
- [Tyler] Look, Dan, look.
769
00:34:54,827 --> 00:34:56,896
- I don't wanna look.
- Look.
770
00:34:56,931 --> 00:34:59,862
Oh, my [bleep]!
771
00:34:59,896 --> 00:35:01,482
[Tyler] You're gonna
scream for Mommy again?
772
00:35:01,517 --> 00:35:02,620
Yeah, maybe.
773
00:35:02,655 --> 00:35:05,000
[Tyler] It's actually
an old miner's pipeline.
774
00:35:05,034 --> 00:35:07,068
They used to use it back
in the old Gold Rush days,
775
00:35:07,103 --> 00:35:09,275
and then they
built the bridge over
the top of the pipeline.
776
00:35:09,310 --> 00:35:10,931
[Daniel] I love getting
a bit of history off you, Ty,
777
00:35:10,965 --> 00:35:12,068
but to be quite honest
with you,
778
00:35:12,103 --> 00:35:13,724
that's the last thing
I'm thinking about right now.
779
00:35:13,758 --> 00:35:17,034
[narrator] The 340-foot-pipeline bungee
780
00:35:17,068 --> 00:35:19,827
is the second highest jump in New Zealand.
781
00:35:19,862 --> 00:35:21,793
This one feels a lot different
than skydiving.
782
00:35:21,827 --> 00:35:23,517
Right? You were just
strapped to somebody
783
00:35:23,551 --> 00:35:25,586
and they jumped out the plane.
784
00:35:25,620 --> 00:35:27,137
In this you actually
have to jump.
785
00:35:30,965 --> 00:35:32,413
There we go, [bleep].
786
00:35:38,689 --> 00:35:41,172
[Tyler] Is there anything
that I could do that
would [bleep] up everything?
787
00:35:41,206 --> 00:35:43,482
[instructor]
Don't go feet first,
go head first.
788
00:35:43,517 --> 00:35:46,275
With your arm tied up,
it will whip you out.
789
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:47,655
[Tyler] I'm sure that when we get to the edge
790
00:35:47,689 --> 00:35:50,068
and you have to make that
conscious decision to jump,
791
00:35:50,103 --> 00:35:52,103
there might be some
shimmer of fear
in his face.
792
00:35:52,137 --> 00:35:53,793
[Parker] You're gonna
stand there for 30 minutes
793
00:35:53,827 --> 00:35:55,137
trying to decide to jump.
794
00:35:55,172 --> 00:35:56,827
I bet I do it
quicker than you.
795
00:35:56,862 --> 00:35:58,034
That's what I thought.
796
00:35:59,344 --> 00:36:00,482
[instructor]
You guys are ready?
797
00:36:00,517 --> 00:36:01,689
Ah, no.
798
00:36:01,724 --> 00:36:02,793
I need... I should wee.
799
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:04,000
Go wee.
800
00:36:04,034 --> 00:36:05,310
She can't.
801
00:36:05,344 --> 00:36:06,931
Are we going...
are you going for wee
or are we doing it?
802
00:36:06,965 --> 00:36:08,689
No, I'm all good.
Thank you.
803
00:36:16,793 --> 00:36:19,379
[Daniel] Parker's gotta think on a lot of decisions.
804
00:36:19,413 --> 00:36:22,689
Thrown into the mix is
whether or not
he wants to jump off a bridge.
805
00:36:24,103 --> 00:36:26,620
[narrator] With time in New Zealand running out,
806
00:36:26,655 --> 00:36:28,413
Parker needs to pull the trigger
807
00:36:28,448 --> 00:36:31,000
and buy a wash plant he's already seen
808
00:36:31,034 --> 00:36:33,551
or take a leap and design his own.
809
00:36:33,586 --> 00:36:37,241
[Parker] In this business, the risk is always the thing that you're fighting.
810
00:36:37,275 --> 00:36:39,655
- [Tyler] Feel like we're walking to our death.
- [Daniel] To our death, yeah.
811
00:36:41,413 --> 00:36:42,724
It's a long way down.
812
00:36:45,034 --> 00:36:46,586
[instructor] We'll get you
on the edge.
813
00:36:46,620 --> 00:36:49,206
We'll give you the all clear,
and then it's up to you
to get yourself off.
814
00:36:51,206 --> 00:36:52,931
[Parker] Fairbanks is gonna be a huge challenge.
815
00:36:54,448 --> 00:36:57,172
You're gonna come under here,
816
00:36:57,206 --> 00:36:59,379
holding on nice and tight.
817
00:36:59,413 --> 00:37:00,724
[Daniel]
I've got you good, mate.
818
00:37:00,758 --> 00:37:01,758
[instructor] That's it.
819
00:37:03,379 --> 00:37:05,344
[Parker] We don't have time to get it wrong.
820
00:37:05,379 --> 00:37:07,137
[instructor] All right.
Get your toes all the way
to the edge.
821
00:37:07,172 --> 00:37:08,724
[Tyler] Almost [bleep] there.
He's on the edge.
822
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,482
Yeah. He's good.
823
00:37:13,517 --> 00:37:14,793
Arms out to the side.
824
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,137
[Parker] This is the time when your mind likes to play tricks on you,
825
00:37:22,172 --> 00:37:24,827
"Is it the right decision or is it the wrong decision?"
826
00:37:31,586 --> 00:37:33,172
[bleep]
827
00:37:33,206 --> 00:37:35,310
[Daniel] He's making it
way worse.
828
00:37:35,344 --> 00:37:36,793
[Tyler] Feel like
it's a bit of a theme
829
00:37:36,827 --> 00:37:38,206
this whole trip, hesitation.
830
00:37:40,344 --> 00:37:42,137
[Parker] The problem is you paralyze yourself with that.
831
00:37:44,310 --> 00:37:45,724
I'm not sure I wanna do this.
832
00:37:47,896 --> 00:37:49,655
I think sometimes you just
gotta take the leap, mate.
833
00:37:53,172 --> 00:37:56,206
[Parker] No decision is always the worst decision.
834
00:37:56,241 --> 00:37:58,517
[instructor]
Stop overthinking things.
835
00:37:58,551 --> 00:37:59,965
Take the leap, buddy.
836
00:38:08,344 --> 00:38:09,724
[bleep]
837
00:38:11,137 --> 00:38:12,482
Oh, my [bleep].
838
00:38:15,379 --> 00:38:16,724
That was horrific.
839
00:38:16,758 --> 00:38:19,206
Oh, [bleep].
840
00:38:19,241 --> 00:38:21,000
[Daniel] I've never,
ever seen him scared.
841
00:38:21,034 --> 00:38:22,379
Ever, no.
842
00:38:22,413 --> 00:38:24,137
He doesn't do scared.
843
00:38:24,172 --> 00:38:26,034
He did it, though.
844
00:38:26,068 --> 00:38:27,172
[man] Good times.
845
00:38:27,206 --> 00:38:28,620
[bleep]
846
00:38:28,655 --> 00:38:29,965
That's wild.
847
00:38:35,827 --> 00:38:37,586
Oh, my [bleep].
848
00:38:37,620 --> 00:38:39,448
All right. Let's do it.
849
00:38:39,482 --> 00:38:40,931
[yelling]
850
00:38:44,034 --> 00:38:45,206
Yeah.
851
00:38:45,241 --> 00:38:46,344
Oh, my.
852
00:38:46,379 --> 00:38:48,482
[Jeff] Yeah, Danny boy!
853
00:38:48,517 --> 00:38:51,517
Oh.
854
00:38:51,551 --> 00:38:53,034
[bleep]
855
00:38:53,068 --> 00:38:55,655
I thought my eyes were gonna
pop out of my head.
856
00:38:56,758 --> 00:38:58,931
[bleep]. This means I'm next.
857
00:38:58,965 --> 00:39:00,793
Oh, my, man.
858
00:39:02,068 --> 00:39:04,482
Oh, mate.
859
00:39:04,517 --> 00:39:06,793
I've never seen
you struggle so much,
860
00:39:06,827 --> 00:39:09,103
ever, on anything we've done.
861
00:39:09,137 --> 00:39:11,482
And nothing we've...
nothing we've ever done
862
00:39:11,517 --> 00:39:12,896
has made me feel that way.
863
00:39:12,931 --> 00:39:13,965
No, that did it.
864
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:16,758
[Daniel] Go on, Jeff!
865
00:39:20,862 --> 00:39:22,310
[yelling]
866
00:39:23,758 --> 00:39:25,793
Oh, my [bleep] Lord.
867
00:39:25,827 --> 00:39:27,551
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
868
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,241
And five, four, three,
two, one.
869
00:39:34,275 --> 00:39:35,379
Go on, girl.
870
00:39:38,862 --> 00:39:40,620
[Jeff] Oh, [bleep]!
871
00:39:40,655 --> 00:39:42,620
[Tyler screaming and laughing]
872
00:39:42,655 --> 00:39:45,896
Holy [bleep]! Oh, my [bleep]!
873
00:39:50,448 --> 00:39:51,517
Holy [bleep]!
874
00:39:51,551 --> 00:39:52,620
[man] Coming in hot!
875
00:39:52,655 --> 00:39:53,689
Oh, my [bleep].
876
00:39:53,724 --> 00:39:56,137
[indistinct excited chatter]
877
00:39:56,172 --> 00:39:57,896
How [bleep] cool was that?
878
00:39:59,103 --> 00:40:00,137
Good job, team.
879
00:40:01,482 --> 00:40:02,724
Let's go.
880
00:40:10,206 --> 00:40:11,310
[Parker] Yeah.
881
00:40:11,344 --> 00:40:13,137
I think that I'd like to have
a little bit more fun
882
00:40:13,172 --> 00:40:14,724
in the country
before we get out of here.
883
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,379
Tyler, you're up.
884
00:40:17,413 --> 00:40:19,862
Find us some more
cool stuff to do.
885
00:40:19,896 --> 00:40:21,068
Yeah, I'm doing it.
886
00:40:21,103 --> 00:40:22,344
We came here
to find some gold,
887
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:25,068
so let's go see
what we can come up
with on that front.
888
00:40:25,103 --> 00:40:26,206
[Jeff] Sounds like
a challenge.
889
00:40:26,241 --> 00:40:27,379
[Daniel] We can do that.
890
00:40:27,413 --> 00:40:30,000
But, yeah, I think it's time
to make a decision, right?
891
00:40:30,034 --> 00:40:31,448
- Yep.
- [Tyler] Yeah.
892
00:40:33,310 --> 00:40:35,448
We're on the...
on the back foot.
893
00:40:37,137 --> 00:40:39,034
I think we should design
and build a wash plant.
894
00:40:39,068 --> 00:40:40,103
Let's do it.
895
00:40:40,137 --> 00:40:42,517
- Oh, that's great.
- We did it!
896
00:40:42,551 --> 00:40:43,689
It's go time.
897
00:40:43,724 --> 00:40:45,068
[Parker] It's time
to start spending money.
898
00:40:45,103 --> 00:40:46,172
Actually, that's it.
899
00:40:47,655 --> 00:40:49,172
[narrator] With less than two months
900
00:40:49,206 --> 00:40:51,413
until they start mining in Alaska,
901
00:40:51,448 --> 00:40:55,172
Parker commits to building a custom wash plant.
902
00:40:55,206 --> 00:40:57,482
It's obvious
that we aren't gonna find
something in the country
903
00:40:57,517 --> 00:41:01,034
and that we're actually
now like really burning time.
904
00:41:01,068 --> 00:41:02,482
And if Fairbanks is gonna work,
905
00:41:02,517 --> 00:41:05,275
then we need to start moving quite quickly.
906
00:41:05,310 --> 00:41:08,517
And that starts
with getting this wash plant
build on the rolls.
907
00:41:08,551 --> 00:41:10,172
[Jeff] I've been taking note of the places we've been
908
00:41:10,206 --> 00:41:11,827
and some of the factors that he wants.
909
00:41:11,862 --> 00:41:14,172
We're really gonna
have to sit down
and hash it out.
910
00:41:14,206 --> 00:41:15,965
There's still a lot of work to do on this trip.
911
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,379
We're not done yet.
912
00:41:17,413 --> 00:41:20,034
It's taken us so much
to get to this point.
913
00:41:20,068 --> 00:41:21,827
Now that we've finally
got this decision,
914
00:41:21,862 --> 00:41:24,413
we can just enjoy
this last week together
and have some fun.
915
00:41:24,448 --> 00:41:27,275
I've still got one last thing up my sleeve.
916
00:41:27,310 --> 00:41:30,068
I have something bloody cool planned.
