1
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,000
[James Hamm]
Four days into the season,
we're running out of time.
2
00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:13,480
We're onto the gold,
couldn't be happier right now.
3
00:00:14,370 --> 00:00:15,680
It's up in that cave area.
4
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:18,370
That's where all
the big gold's at.
5
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:22,380
But it's very, very dangerous.
6
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:25,170
I need to stay away from
that big-ass boulder there.
7
00:00:26,930 --> 00:00:28,690
It's halfway undermined,
8
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:31,380
and if I start getting greedy
and poking around over there,
9
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:35,170
that thing comes
crashing down,
smash me, uh...
10
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:38,690
That's not the way
I wanna go out.
11
00:00:38,890 --> 00:00:40,820
I don't wanna...
I don't wanna die
in Nugget Creek.
12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,170
Just don't go
too [bleep] far, man.
13
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:49,860
[Carlos Minor]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14
00:00:50,060 --> 00:00:52,340
[Dustin Hurt]
If this comes down,
it's gonna fall right in here.
15
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:54,580
Boom!
16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,380
Not trying to get
inside your head,
17
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:00,680
I'm just giving you,
trying to keep you prepared.
18
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:04,480
You get it?
I say move, you move.
19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,650
You hear me?
If somebody's pulling you,
20
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:10,580
you move without
any hesitation at all.
21
00:01:10,780 --> 00:01:12,370
At all.
22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,580
- [Dustin]
Here she comes. Check.
- [James] Yep.
23
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:19,790
[Dustin] Check gear.
24
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:23,580
[James on radio] All right.
25
00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:25,820
- [Dustin] Ready to go?
- [James] All right.
26
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:31,370
[James] Let's go
find some gold.
27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,790
[dramatic music playing]
28
00:01:38,990 --> 00:01:41,270
[Fred Hurt] They're dredging
right into that area,
29
00:01:41,470 --> 00:01:44,580
where a 100-ton rock can just
flip off on top of us.
30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,760
You gotta climb in the mouth
of a dragon to get gold.
31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,140
- [rumbling]
- [Paul Richardson]
The [bleep] was that?
32
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:54,650
We don't know if it's gonna
hit flood stage,
33
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:56,580
but it's very possible
that it could.
34
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,860
[Fred laughing] Whoo!
35
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:05,580
- Doing things
an old man don't do.
- [laughs]
36
00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:08,240
- [Dustin] Can't believe
how brave you are, man.
- [laughs]
37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
[Dustin] On the point
of death like that.
38
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:16,070
Think I see a piece already.
There's chunkies in there.
39
00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,860
[Carlos cheering] There it is!
40
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:20,140
[laughs]
41
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:22,480
We're getting down
to the bottom of this thing.
42
00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:24,620
It's finally our time.
43
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:39,000
[Carlos] Ooh, yeah!
44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,000
Dan's getting some
[bleep] gold right there.
45
00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:46,380
Every time that box
turn dirty, cha-ching! Gold.
46
00:02:46,580 --> 00:02:50,550
[narrator]
Deep in the southeast
Alaskan wilderness,
47
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:53,170
Dustin Hurt and his crew
are on the gold.
48
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:57,550
But time is not on their side.
49
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:59,480
[Dustin] The jackets
are getting bigger out here.
50
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,580
This snow is creeping
down the mountain
51
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:03,790
right now as we speak.
52
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:05,650
But, we're finding gold.
53
00:03:05,850 --> 00:03:07,380
The bottom of this,
54
00:03:07,580 --> 00:03:09,900
I have no doubt
that it's gonna be
55
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,170
absolutely amazing.
56
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:16,580
[James] Those some
pretty rusted rocks.
57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,270
Everything that we've heard
when you get into this
red hardpack,
58
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,900
you start getting gold
when you get under it
on the bedrock
59
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:28,030
in the deep areas
where there's anomalies
and stuff,
60
00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:29,170
you get large nuggets.
61
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:31,790
That's just the money pot,
right here.
62
00:03:32,890 --> 00:03:34,310
But what's holding us back?
63
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,270
Big-ass boulder.
64
00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:41,380
You gotta climb
65
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:44,170
in the mouth of a dragon
to get gold.
66
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:48,270
We're getting into
a scary area.
67
00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:51,030
They were warned, though.
68
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:54,580
[narrator] Five weeks ago,
a major storm ripped
through Nugget Creek,
69
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:56,690
threatening to end
Dustin's season.
70
00:03:56,890 --> 00:03:58,900
This place is destroyed.
71
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:00,690
Everything we have
is underwater right now.
72
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:02,170
[narrator]
But in a stroke of luck...
73
00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:04,580
[James] Hey, Dustin,
come look at this.
74
00:04:04,780 --> 00:04:07,340
[narrator] ...the storm surge
uncovered an anomaly...
75
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:10,140
- [Carlos] Has anybody been
underneath that rock?
- [Dustin] I doubt it.
76
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:12,550
There's gonna be some
huge risk involved.
77
00:04:12,750 --> 00:04:15,690
[narrator] ...that could lead
to a massive deposit of gold.
78
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:18,030
- [Dustin] I'm seeing
gold, guys!
- [Carlos] Yeah!
79
00:04:18,230 --> 00:04:19,580
- [Dustin] Whoo-hoo!
- [Carlos] Oh, my [bleep]!
80
00:04:19,780 --> 00:04:21,890
[bleep] right, hell yeah!
81
00:04:24,270 --> 00:04:27,890
[narrator] But their
good fortune comes
with a 50-ton risk.
82
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:33,030
If you look at it,
it's completely undermined.
83
00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:35,140
There's nothing
left to it, so.
84
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:37,140
James, you gotta try
to stay back here.
85
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:40,170
I don't think it's gonna
fall on him back there.
86
00:04:40,370 --> 00:04:42,100
I don't think, anyway.
87
00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:46,450
[James] The hardpack
is like cement.
88
00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:48,140
We're gonna need
a pressure washer,
89
00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:49,510
something with really
good pressure.
90
00:04:50,890 --> 00:04:52,060
[Wes Richardson]
Got you, got you.
91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Um, just trying to rig up
a spray hose
92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,860
with just this water jet
that's coming off the pump.
93
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:02,450
We don't have a high-pressure
sprayer here right now,
94
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:04,580
but we do have this
and it'll jet.
95
00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:06,060
I think it'll work.
96
00:05:06,930 --> 00:05:09,000
It takes this gravel out
like nothing.
97
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:14,270
[James] Thank you.
98
00:05:18,580 --> 00:05:20,380
[narrator] Using the pump
from the dredge,
99
00:05:20,580 --> 00:05:23,270
Wes has created
a high-pressure gold blaster.
100
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:27,070
James will attempt
to punch through the hardpack
101
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:28,790
to get to the gold layer.
102
00:05:28,990 --> 00:05:30,900
But if he goes too far,
103
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,480
he will bring
50 tons of boulder
104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,580
down on top of him.
105
00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:41,480
[James laughs]
106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,030
This is awesome.
107
00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:49,480
[Dustin] Just gonna
be tearing it up today.
108
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,650
He'll be digging a bunch.
109
00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:55,270
He's looking
for nuggets right now.
I know what he's doing.
110
00:05:55,470 --> 00:05:58,480
If there's any gold in there,
he's gonna pull it all out,
I promise.
111
00:06:06,170 --> 00:06:07,480
[Wes] Ooh!
112
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,000
[Carlos] Holy [bleep],
they're wet!
113
00:06:12,270 --> 00:06:13,690
That [bleep] rock!
114
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:15,480
- [Wes] I knew it was haunted.
- [Dustin laughing]
115
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,100
[Dustin] That boulder moved.
116
00:06:18,580 --> 00:06:21,000
It just did that.
See it up there?
117
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:23,860
[Carlos] Holy [bleep], dude.
118
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:25,790
Holy [bleep]!
119
00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:29,380
[narrator] Blasting his way
towards the gold layer,
120
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:31,960
James has undermined
the massive boulder,
121
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,580
causing it to shift.
122
00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:37,580
[Dustin] Hey, watch yourself.
Get the [bleep] out
of the hole.
123
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:39,480
I thought it was,
I thought the rock
was gonna come down.
124
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,820
If that rock comes down,
we're dead.
125
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:44,170
[James] Holy crap, dude.
126
00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:47,340
[Dustin] We're so far
underneath that rock that
127
00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:49,170
if something
happens, it slips,
128
00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:52,000
I'll never forgive myself
for letting anybody get hurt.
129
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,340
So we're gonna have
to figure this out.
130
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:55,960
[narrator] Until Dustin
and his crew
131
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,240
secure the 50-ton mammoth,
132
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,000
all dredging is off.
133
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Just 600 feet up creek...
134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,380
[Kayla Johanson]
Look how nice that water is.
135
00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:13,930
[Paul] I know.
136
00:07:14,130 --> 00:07:16,270
[narrator]
...Kayla and her crew
have managed to tame
137
00:07:16,470 --> 00:07:17,890
the raging whitewater.
138
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,480
But with winter
just weeks away,
139
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,070
they are desperate to get
their hands on Nugget Creek's
legendary gold.
140
00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:27,340
[Kayla] On my last dive
I found some
pretty good pickers,
141
00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:28,960
so hopefully we'll find
more gold today.
142
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,380
Should have some
good visibility,
143
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:33,170
the water's really low
and it's actually
pretty clear.
144
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:35,170
That diversion wall,
working really well.
145
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:37,900
[narrator] Two weeks ago...
146
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:39,760
[Kayla] I am tired of your
[bleep] attitude.
147
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,450
How about you [bleep]
go back to camp?
148
00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:42,790
[Scott Allen yelling]
What the hell?
149
00:07:42,990 --> 00:07:45,720
[narrator] Scott Allen quit
with less than a month left.
150
00:07:47,060 --> 00:07:49,070
But the three-man crew
pushed on
151
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:51,480
and built a diversion wall
to protect them
152
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,550
from the raging torrent...
153
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:56,790
What that's gonna do
is help it be a lot easier
for the divers, so they're not
154
00:07:56,990 --> 00:07:58,450
fighting that current
the whole time.
155
00:07:58,650 --> 00:08:01,690
[narrator] ...which led
to the discovery
of a gold-rich red layer.
156
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:04,170
We got gold. Finally!
157
00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:11,070
The water current
is nice and low
158
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:12,930
after we did that
diversion wall, so...
159
00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:16,170
...Justin's gonna have
a really good dive today.
160
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:20,380
[Justin Peterson]
Feeling really good
about today's dive.
161
00:08:20,580 --> 00:08:22,030
This is the first dive
I'll get to do
162
00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:24,790
with the diversion wall
and the calm water.
163
00:08:24,990 --> 00:08:26,620
I think I'll be able to move
a lot of material today.
164
00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:30,100
All it is, is put in the time.
165
00:08:30,930 --> 00:08:32,370
[Paul] You about ready?
166
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,580
All right, how's that feel?
167
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:41,060
[Justin] Feels good.
168
00:08:41,930 --> 00:08:42,930
[Paul] Think you're
good to go.
169
00:08:44,270 --> 00:08:46,690
Good luck. Find some gold.
170
00:08:46,890 --> 00:08:48,690
[Kayla on radio]
No gold, no dinner.
171
00:08:48,890 --> 00:08:51,070
[Justin] Okay-doke.
172
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:53,580
- [Justin] Good thing I have
reserves attached.
- [Paul laughs]
173
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,200
[Justin] Wow.
174
00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:03,580
This hole is awesome, guys,
you've done amazing.
175
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:04,790
I mean, it's great.
176
00:09:07,370 --> 00:09:09,680
May I please have
that yellow pry bar?
177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,580
[narrator]
Justin is seven feet down
178
00:09:13,780 --> 00:09:16,310
powering through
a gold-rich red layer.
179
00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:18,900
Without a gold blaster,
180
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:20,790
he'll have to use brute force
181
00:09:20,990 --> 00:09:23,580
to break his way through
to bedrock gold.
182
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:31,620
[Justin] Oh, thank you.
183
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,680
[Paul] All right.
Ready for this beast?
184
00:09:41,170 --> 00:09:43,680
This late in the season,
we gotta do everything we can
185
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:45,820
to get to bedrock.
186
00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:49,510
[Justin] Bingo. We can
get to dredging.
187
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:52,820
[gravel crackling]
188
00:09:54,310 --> 00:09:57,000
[Paul] He's into something
good right now.
I mean, look at that.
189
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Right now, he's probably
got the best visibility
we've ever had.
190
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,790
Now, if he can stay focused
and just keep
moving materials,
191
00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:09,070
we'll get a lot of stuff done.
192
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:10,790
I don't know how much time
we have left.
193
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:13,340
It would be nice to know
that we got enough
bedrock cleared off
194
00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:16,000
that, uh, we'll have
a decent season.
195
00:10:18,930 --> 00:10:21,680
[loud rumbling]
196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,170
[Paul] The [bleep] was that?
197
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:29,580
Hey, did you just
hear that rumble?
198
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:31,380
That almost
sounded like a jet,
but it wasn't a jet.
199
00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:33,100
It was a real quick rumble.
200
00:10:34,170 --> 00:10:35,200
Almost like thunder.
201
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,370
Something let loose upstream.
202
00:10:41,270 --> 00:10:43,760
We got some chocolate water
coming down.
203
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,760
[narrator] After weeks
of the worst rain
204
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,070
Alaska has seen in 30 years,
205
00:10:48,270 --> 00:10:51,550
the 500-foot cliffs
are saturated with water
206
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:53,070
and are collapsing.
207
00:10:53,270 --> 00:10:55,270
[Kayla on radio]
Something broke free upstream,
208
00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:57,240
so you're about to have
some brown water.
209
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,890
[Justin groaning] Aw.
210
00:11:01,370 --> 00:11:02,370
Man.
211
00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:06,100
That's some brown water.
Dang it.
212
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,820
[bleep]. [laughs]
213
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,270
This visibility sucks now.
214
00:11:16,170 --> 00:11:18,170
Had a big one
fall in the hole.
215
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,820
Hey, swamp-cud chucker.
216
00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:31,270
All right, let's play
Where's Waldo. [sighs]
217
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:36,100
[bleep]. [laughs]
218
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,890
Ugh. It's proving
to be a little troublesome.
219
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,650
Yeah, it's hard when you can't
see what you're doing.
220
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:46,510
[Justin groaning] Yeah.
221
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,620
All right, hopefully it
doesn't slip.
222
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,170
It did.
223
00:12:01,580 --> 00:12:03,270
I had it in a good groove.
224
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,510
All right, let's give this
another go.
225
00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:10,580
Oh, ugh.
226
00:12:12,370 --> 00:12:14,170
But if I had
gotten to it earlier,
227
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:16,650
I could've actually seen it
228
00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:19,000
and this would've been
not so difficult.
229
00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:24,480
[Paul] I give you five minutes
underwater and you'll have
that rock slinging out.
230
00:12:26,510 --> 00:12:28,410
[Kayla] That's definitely
not his strong point.
231
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,060
[Justin groaning]
Try this again.
232
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,270
[bleep] dang it.
233
00:12:44,170 --> 00:12:46,270
[Kayla] We do not
have time for this.
234
00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:48,100
He needs to pick up
the pace just a little bit.
235
00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:52,480
Winter's definitely
moving in on us,
236
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,170
we've already seen
termination dust on the peaks.
237
00:12:54,370 --> 00:12:57,380
There's snow up high,
it's only a matter of time
238
00:12:57,580 --> 00:12:59,340
before it hits us down here
at the lower levels.
239
00:12:59,540 --> 00:13:01,510
So we are definitely
running out of time.
240
00:13:09,270 --> 00:13:11,900
[Dustin] Right now it looks
like a rat trap, doesn't it?
241
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:15,170
So, my idea is to go up
with two cables,
242
00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:18,450
goes up the two pipes.
243
00:13:18,650 --> 00:13:21,370
It might be enough
to slow her down enough
to not crush us.
244
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,650
We got three options,
one of them is to just
chance it.
245
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:29,790
Doesn't seem like
the right thing to do.
246
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,930
Second thing is,
we can crack that rock,
247
00:13:33,130 --> 00:13:36,100
but it'll set us back another
two weeks that we don't have.
248
00:13:37,170 --> 00:13:39,580
Or we could tie it off
in a day
249
00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:42,580
work under it,
and hope that tie-off works.
250
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,170
So we're gonna tie it off.
251
00:13:45,370 --> 00:13:48,580
It's basically
a time crunch right now.
252
00:13:49,510 --> 00:13:51,100
I mean, what's the worst
that can happen?
253
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:56,070
[narrator] Dustin's quick fix
to secure the 50-ton boulder?
254
00:13:56,270 --> 00:13:59,580
Drill anchor bolts
and use steel-braided cable,
255
00:13:59,780 --> 00:14:03,060
attach to the rock wall
and big boulders upstream.
256
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:06,140
At over 100,000 pounds,
257
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:08,930
the anchors may not stop
the boulders from falling,
258
00:14:09,130 --> 00:14:12,720
but could give the diver
enough time to escape.
259
00:14:14,370 --> 00:14:16,380
This is the strongest
point right here.
260
00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:18,000
It's gonna go here
to right there.
261
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,140
[Wes] If I'm guessing,
this boulder's probably
been here for
262
00:14:24,340 --> 00:14:26,550
no telling how many
thousands of years.
263
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:28,380
That tells me nobody's
been underneath it.
264
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,480
Once we get this
big boulder secured,
265
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,860
it's gonna be absolutely
chock full of gold.
266
00:14:33,060 --> 00:14:34,480
We're making it happen,
so, soon,
267
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,310
really soon, we're gonna start
finding some good gold here.
268
00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:41,480
That's tight, man.
That's tight
as you need to go.
269
00:14:43,790 --> 00:14:46,930
We got a cable that's helping
to hold up
270
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:49,960
the giant boulder
that could possibly
fall on us,
271
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,520
but we need to do more.
272
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,380
Carlos, can I, uh,
get you to tie this off
back here over to this wall
273
00:14:55,580 --> 00:14:58,580
and over the top
and into the face?
274
00:14:59,310 --> 00:15:00,860
[Carlos] Yup.
275
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,270
[Dustin] Hey, if it looks like
it's gonna start moving
or something,
276
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:05,340
[bleep] stop.
277
00:15:05,540 --> 00:15:07,680
[Carlos] Got you, I got you.
I hear you.
278
00:15:24,410 --> 00:15:26,580
[Dustin] Be careful you don't
hit that thing too much,
279
00:15:26,780 --> 00:15:28,030
'cause, you know,
it has moved.
280
00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:30,690
[laughing] I know! I know.
281
00:15:30,890 --> 00:15:34,860
[Dustin] The only thing
I believe holding this
entire rock up right now
282
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,240
is that jammed piece
of granite right there.
283
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,000
You hit that with a hammer,
and it might come
straight down, right down.
284
00:15:47,170 --> 00:15:49,480
[Carlos] Heavenly Father,
please protect us,
please keep us safe.
285
00:16:01,790 --> 00:16:04,000
Heavenly Father,
please protect us,
please keep us safe.
286
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,650
I'm getting every prayer
up in there.
287
00:16:05,850 --> 00:16:08,900
[narrator] At Nugget Creek,
all diving is off
288
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:12,030
while Dustin and his crew
secure the 50-ton boulder
289
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:14,270
looming over their dive site.
290
00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:15,720
[Dustin] Crazy how
brave you are, man.
291
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,170
- [Dustin] Yeah.
- [laughs]
292
00:16:17,370 --> 00:16:20,860
[Dustin] On the point of death
like that, like, geez, man.
293
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,380
This should be enough.
294
00:16:30,580 --> 00:16:32,790
You wanna hook it down there
and tighten it up top?
295
00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:34,580
[Carlos] Yeah.
296
00:16:38,890 --> 00:16:40,900
[Dustin exclaiming]
297
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,030
Do not want
to be standing right here
298
00:16:43,230 --> 00:16:44,900
when this thing
starts to move.
299
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,960
Biggest rat trap on Earth.
300
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,580
This is the part where
301
00:16:48,780 --> 00:16:52,410
the Coyote finally
gets the Roadrunner.
302
00:16:57,170 --> 00:16:59,680
- [Carlos] All right, ready?
- [Dustin] Yeah, go ahead.
303
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:11,890
[Carlos] I'll take it.
304
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:14,060
[Dustin] Got it.
305
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Well, I won't say
this is safe,
306
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,890
but it is definitely safer
than it was a minute ago.
307
00:17:24,170 --> 00:17:26,100
Ah, I can live with that.
308
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,000
[Dustin] You good to go?
309
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:31,680
[James] I'll get to work.
310
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,170
Oh, yeah.
311
00:17:43,170 --> 00:17:45,240
[Carlos] Look for the dirty
box of gold.
312
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,270
Right there, look.
There it goes, gold.
313
00:17:48,890 --> 00:17:50,060
Couple of nuggets in there.
314
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:54,890
[James] I got a lot
of basket rocks in here.
315
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:02,830
[Wes] We're getting further
up underneath this
big-ass boulder.
316
00:18:03,030 --> 00:18:05,340
I'm predicting pretty soon
here in the future,
317
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:07,690
we're gonna get into
some of those large nuggets.
318
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:10,790
[Carlos] Whoo!
Lot of red rocks, dude!
319
00:18:10,990 --> 00:18:12,380
Lot of red rocks.
320
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:16,340
More red rocks coming out,
that means more gold.
321
00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:18,030
[James] Yeah!
322
00:18:19,580 --> 00:18:22,480
[narrator] James puts in
another two hours
in the kill zone,
323
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,690
and is now running on fumes.
324
00:18:26,890 --> 00:18:30,070
- [Dustin] And he is just
cooked out, he is...
- [Carlos] Yeah.
325
00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:33,620
- He's so motivated to get gold
he's dying, look at him.
- [Carlos] Yeah, I know.
326
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:35,480
[Dustin] Hey, let's pull
him up, man.
327
00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:37,650
He's too far.
328
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,550
[Carlos] Hey, dude.
You know what, man?
329
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:42,380
Let's call it a day
right now, dude.
Let's call it a day.
330
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:45,620
- Diver up!
- Diver up.
Let's call it a day.
331
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:47,650
[Carlos] Let's get
all your tools out
and all that good stuff.
332
00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:49,100
Good dive, bro, good dive.
333
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:52,620
- [Dustin]
He's exhausted, dude.
- [Carlos laughs]
334
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:55,620
[Carlos] Good dive, James.
335
00:18:57,310 --> 00:18:59,170
All right, go check out
that box, man.
336
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,000
[sighs]
337
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,370
Crossing my fingers.
338
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,830
- [all cheering]
- [James] Holy [bleep]!
339
00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:11,270
- [Carlos cheering]
- [James] [bleeping]
340
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,030
Good job, man!
341
00:19:17,230 --> 00:19:18,580
[James] Holy crap, dude!
342
00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:21,480
- Yeah!
- Whoo-hoo!
343
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,480
Every dive,
box is full of gold.
Every dive.
344
00:19:26,370 --> 00:19:28,790
Cha-ching, bro!
345
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:32,930
That's a great day. [laughs]
346
00:19:33,130 --> 00:19:35,830
[Carlos] There's a pocket
there we haven't
gotten yet, dude.
347
00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:37,380
- A pocket.
- Oh, man.
348
00:19:37,580 --> 00:19:40,720
Just wait till we get
to the bottom and get
those big nuggets.
349
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,030
It's only gonna
get way better.
350
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:45,450
[Carlos] This is just
the beginning, man.
351
00:19:45,650 --> 00:19:46,830
Three dives in!
352
00:19:47,030 --> 00:19:49,480
Hell yeah, man. Good job.
353
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,060
- You got it, brother!
- Yeah!
354
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,000
Once we get all the way
up underneath this
big-ass boulder,
355
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,200
get to the bedrock,
I got a feeling it's gonna
be a huge payday.
356
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,000
We've been striking out
for years and years.
357
00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:07,900
We're just getting to a place
where we're getting gold
every day.
358
00:20:08,100 --> 00:20:09,900
It's finally our time.
359
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:11,790
We're gonna get down
to the bottom of this thing.
360
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,900
I hope that there's
a huge payoff,
361
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:16,860
because it's time.
362
00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:26,790
[Kayla on radio]
Still working on that boulder?
363
00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:28,580
[Justin] Yeah.
364
00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:30,000
[narrator] At Kayla's
dive site,
365
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,030
Justin is four hours
into his dive
366
00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:35,480
and still struggling
to remove a boulder
367
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,070
standing between him
and bedrock.
368
00:20:38,270 --> 00:20:40,240
[Justin] So slick.
369
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,140
It is a race against time,
we know we got some weather
coming in,
370
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:46,170
so the more Justin
can get cleaned off,
the better it will be.
371
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,480
[Justin] All right.
Hopefully it doesn't slip.
372
00:21:06,270 --> 00:21:07,550
Perfect.
373
00:21:13,370 --> 00:21:16,000
- [Kayla] That's a big rock.
- [Paul] Yeah, it is. [bleep].
374
00:21:17,410 --> 00:21:19,170
[Justin] Now I can
follow the bedrock.
375
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,860
Oh, yeah.
We're getting it, guys.
376
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:30,070
[Paul] Now if he can just
stay focused and keep
moving material,
377
00:21:30,270 --> 00:21:31,760
we'll get a lot of stuff done.
378
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,060
Hopefully he'll get to see
some gold laying
on the bedrock.
379
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,030
Oh, look at the clouds.
The clouds are moving in.
380
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:49,960
We're not gonna be able
to see the top of the hills
here in a minute.
381
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:53,480
- [Paul] Oh, [bleep].
- [Kayla laughs]
382
00:21:54,410 --> 00:21:55,680
[Kayla] Those clouds
are dropping.
383
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,100
We're gonna be in the clouds
here in a second.
384
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,100
Water was getting deep
on the other side.
385
00:22:03,310 --> 00:22:05,550
[Paul] Damn. We started
washing all that gravel
386
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:07,450
- [Kayla] Yeah.
- [Paul] That thing
won't do it,
387
00:22:07,650 --> 00:22:08,860
it's got a channel over there.
388
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,720
- [Kayla] It's definitely
picked up.
- [Paul] Yeah, it has.
389
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,830
[Paul] What's scary is if that
diversion wall
390
00:22:15,030 --> 00:22:17,370
goes right there,
it's gonna wanna fill
the hole back in.
391
00:22:21,410 --> 00:22:24,340
With this rain
that's coming in,
the water's already picked up.
392
00:22:24,540 --> 00:22:26,170
We don't know if it's gonna
hit flood stage,
393
00:22:26,370 --> 00:22:29,170
but it's very possible
that it could.
394
00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:32,310
Hey, Justin, are you
at a good spot
that you can stop?
395
00:22:33,890 --> 00:22:35,960
[Justin] Yeah.
396
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,270
- [Justin] But I wasn't going
to until you asked.
- We're gonna call it.
397
00:22:40,790 --> 00:22:42,380
[Justin] Oh. [inhales]
398
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:44,060
[Paul] All right.
399
00:22:46,890 --> 00:22:48,000
Let me get back.
400
00:22:50,510 --> 00:22:51,510
[Justin] It's all right.
401
00:22:52,890 --> 00:22:54,690
[Paul] How deep does it go?
402
00:22:54,890 --> 00:22:56,680
[Justin] I would say
that I'm about...
403
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:00,650
...eight foot deep
right where the ripples
of the water...
404
00:23:00,850 --> 00:23:03,650
- [laughs]
- Wow.
405
00:23:03,850 --> 00:23:05,340
- ...come in this way.
- Yeah.
406
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:07,650
You had some really,
really dark material
407
00:23:07,850 --> 00:23:09,070
- coming out of that box.
- [Justin] Guess so.
408
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:11,830
[Paul] Sound like you need
to go check the box.
409
00:23:12,030 --> 00:23:14,650
[narrator] It's taken
Justin six hours,
410
00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:18,100
but he's managed
to carve a chunk out
of the red rust layer.
411
00:23:22,790 --> 00:23:24,270
[Kayla] I can't see anything.
412
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:31,000
Hang on. A little piece.
413
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,060
[Paul] Pretty good
sized piece.
414
00:23:38,510 --> 00:23:40,060
[Justin] That one
right there, too?
415
00:23:41,890 --> 00:23:43,960
- [Kayla] At least
it's a start.
- [Justin] Yup.
416
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,580
[Kayla] Hopefully it starts
getting better. This...
417
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,170
...is fun to see,
418
00:23:49,370 --> 00:23:52,860
but we need a lot more gold
this late in the season
419
00:23:53,060 --> 00:23:55,170
and if it doesn't
start picking up,
420
00:23:55,370 --> 00:23:58,380
I don't see this creek
being worth mining again
next year
421
00:23:58,580 --> 00:24:00,170
if we don't get better gold.
422
00:24:00,370 --> 00:24:02,270
- We're gonna find that pocket.
- We're gonna find it.
423
00:24:03,860 --> 00:24:06,170
- Takes a little while,
but we're gonna find it.
- [Paul] That's true.
424
00:24:06,370 --> 00:24:08,030
[Kayla] Hopefully tomorrow
we'll get some more.
425
00:24:08,230 --> 00:24:10,830
- Lots more.
- [Paul] Lots, lots more.
426
00:24:11,030 --> 00:24:12,480
Lots more.
427
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,680
- [Paul] Uh, go get
changed, man.
- [Justin] All right.
428
00:24:17,270 --> 00:24:20,620
[Justin] Don't get me wrong,
I always love to see gold.
429
00:24:20,820 --> 00:24:24,900
But "nice to see gold"
and "needing more gold"
are different stories.
430
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:27,380
I wanna just get more gold.
431
00:24:27,580 --> 00:24:29,170
[exhaling] Whoo.
432
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:33,690
[Kayla] Today went
a lot slower than
I would've liked it to go.
433
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:35,930
Justin had
a pretty rough dive.
434
00:24:36,130 --> 00:24:38,580
We don't have very long
left in the season,
435
00:24:38,780 --> 00:24:40,480
so we have to hit it hard.
436
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,480
If we don't find
something better,
437
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,620
this season's gonna be a wash.
438
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,720
[narrator] Up ahead...
439
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,270
[Fred] Whoo! [laughs]
440
00:24:49,470 --> 00:24:53,000
I'm fresh back here,
all full of piss and vinegar.
441
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,960
[Carlos] Hey, Fred,
how's things going?
442
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,270
[Fred] Gotta be some
gold in there.
443
00:24:56,470 --> 00:24:58,480
[Carlos cheering]
444
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,580
That's gold.
445
00:25:13,170 --> 00:25:14,370
[Dustin] Just beat.
446
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,580
I feel like physical mobility
is leaving me right now.
447
00:25:19,780 --> 00:25:22,550
Oh, man, just walking up
those stairs just now,
448
00:25:22,750 --> 00:25:24,450
like, what is wrong with me?
449
00:25:24,650 --> 00:25:26,520
[narrator] At Nugget Creek,
450
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,410
after four months
of backbreaking work,
451
00:25:29,610 --> 00:25:32,450
Dustin and his crew
are running on fumes.
452
00:25:32,650 --> 00:25:34,790
[Dustin] My guys
are falling around. [laughs]
453
00:25:34,990 --> 00:25:37,070
We're exhausted.
454
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:40,650
There's only a certain limit
to physical abilities.
455
00:25:40,850 --> 00:25:43,310
We're not rock stars.
456
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:46,240
We need help, so a friend's
coming up to camp.
457
00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:48,270
I gave him a call.
458
00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:51,450
It would be nice to have
an extra set of hands up here.
459
00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:53,380
[narrator] In an act
of pure desperation,
460
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:57,790
Dustin has called in
the only person
with the right experience
461
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:01,380
to keep his crew alive
and finish the job.
462
00:26:01,580 --> 00:26:03,270
So, we got Fred
coming in today.
463
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:06,960
Dustin's gonna pick him up.
Us three, we got this thing
taken care of.
464
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,380
As long as that big-ass
boulder stays where
it's supposed to stay,
465
00:26:10,580 --> 00:26:13,550
and I stay where
I'm supposed to stay,
then we'll be frank about it.
466
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:17,960
[Wes] So, we keep working
closer to this boulder.
467
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,900
We're trying
to take precautions,
468
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:22,370
because that's a death boulder
right there.
469
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:30,000
[Carlos] Let's get some gold.
Let's get some red.
470
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,340
Sinking like crazy.
471
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:49,650
[Fred] I'm fresh back here
in southern Alaska,
472
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:52,480
all full of piss and vinegar.
473
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,900
[narrator]
After a two-month absence,
474
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,830
79-year-old mining veteran
Fred Hurt
475
00:26:58,030 --> 00:27:01,310
has dropped everything
to help his son
get to the gold.
476
00:27:01,510 --> 00:27:04,930
I just got into town.
Been a while since
I've been up here.
477
00:27:05,130 --> 00:27:06,930
I know they've
been struggling.
478
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:09,620
Sounded like Dustin needed
a little help up there.
479
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:12,450
Hey, they've been up here
for months and months
and months.
480
00:27:12,650 --> 00:27:15,270
Maybe I can just put
a fresh eyeball
481
00:27:15,470 --> 00:27:17,620
on the whole situation.
482
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:20,650
Whether they'll listen or not,
hey, that's a different story.
483
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:26,140
It's been years since
I've been down here
484
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:28,370
to Chilkat Landing.
485
00:27:31,860 --> 00:27:33,170
See what's going on out here.
486
00:27:33,370 --> 00:27:35,070
[motorboat humming]
487
00:27:35,270 --> 00:27:37,650
[Fred] I hear
him coming. [laughs]
488
00:27:44,750 --> 00:27:46,580
I don't know
if that's Dustin or not.
489
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,650
Ah, you [bleeping]!
[bleep] you.
490
00:27:54,850 --> 00:27:56,310
[laughs]
491
00:27:56,510 --> 00:28:01,000
It appears that he is stuck
over on a bar over there
in the river.
492
00:28:03,580 --> 00:28:06,890
It's an unexpected
little event. [chuckles]
493
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,790
90% land
all the way out there.
494
00:28:16,790 --> 00:28:19,170
A truck would go
right across there.
495
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,650
Hmm.
496
00:28:24,650 --> 00:28:26,100
Should I try that?
497
00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:31,170
I think I'm gonna try
to go ahead and run out there
with the truck.
498
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,930
Watch me get stuck. [laughs]
499
00:28:36,130 --> 00:28:39,580
I hope not, but whether I can
get all the way out there,
I don't know.
500
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,720
I'mma try it.
501
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,440
[laughs] You ready
for this adventure?
502
00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:52,340
[shouting] Fred, are you
crazy or what?
503
00:28:55,580 --> 00:28:56,680
[bleep].
504
00:29:01,270 --> 00:29:02,580
Oh, [bleep]. What happened?
505
00:29:06,790 --> 00:29:09,960
I gotta find a shallow spot
to get across this thing.
506
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,890
See if I can get
across up there.
507
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:15,890
You wanna be rough right here.
508
00:29:16,750 --> 00:29:18,100
Rough, right here.
509
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:22,550
There we go.
510
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,580
Better stop right here.
511
00:29:38,370 --> 00:29:41,520
Kinda look like you
got a little problem there.
512
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,270
First time you ever
drove that boat?
513
00:29:43,470 --> 00:29:44,790
- [Dustin] Yeah, well...
- [Fred laughs]
514
00:29:44,990 --> 00:29:47,310
[Dustin] I hit that edge
a little too hard and it
spun me around, is all.
515
00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:49,690
- [Fred] How you making out?
- Ah, well, been better.
516
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:51,760
[Dustin] Good to see you,
welcome back to Haines.
517
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,410
Let's see what
I can do with it.
518
00:29:53,610 --> 00:29:55,030
[Fred] I got over the back.
519
00:29:55,230 --> 00:29:56,140
[Dustin] See what
you got, Fred.
520
00:29:56,340 --> 00:29:57,550
One, two, three.
521
00:29:57,750 --> 00:30:00,200
[Fred] Okay, slower,
let me get another bite.
522
00:30:00,410 --> 00:30:02,270
[Dustin]
One, two, three. [grunts]
523
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:05,900
[grunts] Oh, yeah,
that's better.
524
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:07,170
[Fred] Let's go!
525
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,680
[grunts] Two, three.
526
00:30:10,370 --> 00:30:11,370
[grunts]
527
00:30:12,170 --> 00:30:13,170
[Fred grunts]
528
00:30:14,130 --> 00:30:15,520
[Dustin]
Nice, she's floating now.
529
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,370
Let's see if she's
stuck anymore.
530
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:22,790
You're gonna want
ear protection or something.
It's gonna be awful.
531
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:25,270
- And you don't want--
- [Fred] I'll just hold
my ears, that's all.
532
00:30:25,470 --> 00:30:26,760
[Dustin] You also don't
wanna stand behind me
533
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,900
- when I take off,
- I know.
534
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:29,830
- 'cause I gotta haul ass
through here.
- I know.
535
00:30:30,030 --> 00:30:31,580
[Dustin] [exhales] Come on.
536
00:30:31,780 --> 00:30:33,000
[Fred] Watch your ears.
537
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,680
[boat motor revving]
538
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,960
[Fred] Whoo-hoo! Got it.
539
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,240
All aboard.
540
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,200
[laughs] How's it going, Fred?
541
00:30:55,410 --> 00:30:56,720
All right, doing all right.
542
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,860
- Yeah, good to see you,
welcome back to Haines.
- Good to see you.
543
00:30:59,060 --> 00:31:01,620
- Up and running?
- Yeah, kinda.
544
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:03,650
[Fred] So we got
an adventure, waitin'?
545
00:31:03,850 --> 00:31:06,170
Gonna be one hell
of a ride,
I hope you're ready.
546
00:31:06,370 --> 00:31:08,750
Well, I hope I got
the right gear.
547
00:31:10,270 --> 00:31:13,450
This is gonna be the wettest
boat ride Fred has ever
taken in his life.
548
00:31:13,650 --> 00:31:16,100
My boat is banged up
and it's running nose down.
549
00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:20,340
So, the water's literally
coming over the front
of the boat.
550
00:31:20,540 --> 00:31:22,930
If this wasn't such a damn
low-budget outfit,
551
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:26,170
he'd have put a fender skirt
all the way around
the front end of that boat
552
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,240
to stop all that.
553
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,860
Fred, you need one of these.
554
00:31:35,130 --> 00:31:38,550
[Fred] Well, almost feels like
I'm going diving.
555
00:31:38,750 --> 00:31:41,000
I feel like I'm in
the Christmas story.
556
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,380
[laughs]
557
00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:48,000
Let's get this show
on the road.
All right, Fred, you ready?
558
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,370
[motor revs]
559
00:31:56,170 --> 00:31:58,860
[Fred] Whoo! [laughs]
560
00:32:05,030 --> 00:32:06,030
Yee-haw!
561
00:32:18,790 --> 00:32:20,410
[Paul] Water looks amazing,
562
00:32:20,610 --> 00:32:22,900
our, uh, diversion wall
is holding up.
563
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:25,450
[narrator] After nearly
striking out,
564
00:32:25,650 --> 00:32:28,240
Kayla and her crew push
to get back on track
565
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,070
before winter
ends their season.
566
00:32:31,270 --> 00:32:34,030
Well, right now I've got
some good, uh, good clarity.
567
00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:35,760
I need to take
advantage of it,
568
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,480
see if we can't
find some bedrock.
569
00:32:41,030 --> 00:32:42,900
[Kayla] Today I'm gonna
have Paul get in the water.
570
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,960
We don't have much
to show for our work yet,
571
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,310
so hopefully Paul gets
a lot more today.
572
00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:49,790
Um, I'm glad that
we saw gold yesterday,
573
00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:52,580
but hopefully Paul can
bring up a little bit more
574
00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:55,060
'cause we definitely need
to add to the collection.
575
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,650
[Justin] All right,
tuck her in.
576
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,900
- [Justin] Everything
feel good?
- [Paul on radio] Yup.
577
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:07,270
[Justin] Sounds good.
578
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:18,030
[Paul] Better get to work.
579
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,270
[Kayla] Does it look like
you got much fill-in?
580
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,960
[Paul] There might be just
a bit down here.
581
00:33:25,890 --> 00:33:27,890
A few basket rocks.
582
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:33,000
[Kayla] Hey, Justin,
can you work on reinforcing
the main wall?
583
00:33:36,170 --> 00:33:39,030
Right now, we've just
barely started finding gold,
584
00:33:39,230 --> 00:33:41,580
so that's not the time
to have to start over again.
585
00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:43,380
So while Paul's in the water,
586
00:33:43,580 --> 00:33:45,550
we're gonna have Justin
work on reinforcing the wall.
587
00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:47,900
So hopefully if the water
comes up too much,
588
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:50,620
it still keeps most
of the current in the brunt
of the water
589
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:53,100
on that side,
and away from our holes.
590
00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:01,480
[Paul] What the hell?
591
00:34:04,370 --> 00:34:05,960
What was that?
592
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,170
[Paul] I am standing
on bedrock.
593
00:34:12,030 --> 00:34:13,480
- [Kayla] Really?
- [Paul] Yes.
594
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:15,310
[Kayla] Is it flattened out?
595
00:34:15,510 --> 00:34:17,030
[Paul] It's got
a bunch of, uh...
596
00:34:18,170 --> 00:34:19,380
...it is flattening out.
597
00:34:19,580 --> 00:34:21,450
It's got a bunch of cracks
and crevices, and it's thick.
598
00:34:21,650 --> 00:34:23,100
- [Kayla] Huh.
- [Paul] It's got a lot.
599
00:34:23,300 --> 00:34:24,750
But it's definitely bedrock.
600
00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:27,200
[Justin] Nice!
601
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000
[narrator] Nine feet down,
Paul has discovered bedrock
602
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,310
sloping towards the center
of the creek.
603
00:34:34,510 --> 00:34:38,450
Now he must follow
the bedrock down
to the deepest point,
604
00:34:38,650 --> 00:34:42,030
in the hopes it contains
an untouched pocket of gold.
605
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:48,270
[Paul] Definitely see
shiny flakes down here
on the bedrock.
606
00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:51,140
Don't know if it's pyrite
or it's gold.
607
00:34:51,340 --> 00:34:53,760
- You said "shiny flakes"?
- [Paul] Yeah.
608
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,270
Hopefully it's gold.
609
00:34:56,130 --> 00:34:57,270
[Paul] That's what I'm hoping.
610
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,550
Better get busy.
611
00:35:01,370 --> 00:35:03,860
[Kayla] Definitely makes me
feel a lot better
about this spot,
612
00:35:04,060 --> 00:35:05,520
there could be a lot
more on bedrock
613
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:07,340
and hopefully a lot
bigger gold on bedrock.
614
00:35:08,270 --> 00:35:10,520
Nugget Creek needs
to live up to its name,
615
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:11,900
and so far it has not.
616
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:14,890
So hopefully that changes
before the season
comes to an end.
617
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,100
[Fred] Yee-haw!
618
00:35:24,030 --> 00:35:26,200
[narrator] 79-year-old
Fred Hurt
619
00:35:26,410 --> 00:35:29,140
has survived his first
white-knuckle ride
620
00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:30,790
up the Tsirku River.
621
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:33,720
[Fred] Whoo, all right!
622
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,340
[Dustin]
What'd you think, Fred?
623
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:37,760
- [laughs]
- [Dustin] It's a hell
of a ride, huh?
624
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,580
What a ride,
what a ride! [laughs]
625
00:35:41,780 --> 00:35:45,000
[laughs] Whoo!
626
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,240
[Dustin]
That's different, right?
627
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,000
Oh, yeah, I've run boats
all my life,
628
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,410
- but nothing like that.
- [laughs]
629
00:35:51,610 --> 00:35:54,270
- It's more like, um...
- Flying!
630
00:35:55,340 --> 00:35:57,100
- Yeah. I had...
- It's like flying.
631
00:35:57,300 --> 00:36:00,170
It's like flying,
except wet and cold.
632
00:36:00,370 --> 00:36:03,140
Whoo! Doing things
old men don't do.
633
00:36:03,340 --> 00:36:05,240
[laughs]
634
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,370
Well, welcome to camp again.
635
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,240
All right, you wanna
go with me?
636
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:12,790
All righty.
637
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Little chilly up here.
638
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,440
Ah, back home.
639
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,410
You're perfect.
640
00:36:28,610 --> 00:36:31,620
[Dustin] All right, we did not
clean up Scott's stuff, so...
641
00:36:31,820 --> 00:36:34,650
[Fred] Whatever, I'll,
I'll fix it up.
642
00:36:36,370 --> 00:36:39,550
Last time I was here,
it was nice and warm.
643
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:42,140
I had jacket weather.
644
00:36:42,340 --> 00:36:44,790
I was sleeping on top
of this sleeping bag.
645
00:36:44,990 --> 00:36:46,580
[laughs]
646
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:49,030
I'm gonna be under
two of them now.
647
00:36:50,790 --> 00:36:53,000
Sleeping quarters, done.
648
00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:57,270
See what we got
going on up front.
649
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:00,480
All right.
650
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:14,170
Oh, yeah! Gold!
Gold, I tell you!
651
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,310
[narrator] Up at Nugget Creek,
652
00:37:16,510 --> 00:37:18,960
Carlos is three hours
into his dive,
653
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,930
dredging under the shadow
654
00:37:21,130 --> 00:37:23,720
of the 100,000-pound
granite monster.
655
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,130
[Carlos] This is scary.
656
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,580
[Wes] Carlos is in today,
657
00:37:27,780 --> 00:37:30,030
he's just moving forward
from where James was at.
658
00:37:30,230 --> 00:37:32,030
We think that's, uh,
that's where there's
659
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:34,860
a tremendous amount of gold,
is underneath this boulder.
660
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:43,480
[Fred] These stairs are harder
to walk on than anything else.
661
00:37:45,860 --> 00:37:47,240
[Dustin] Carlos is diving.
662
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,200
[Fred] That's a little-bitty
hole there, boy, that rock...
663
00:37:51,410 --> 00:37:53,790
that rock just moved!
664
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,060
Holy [bleep].
665
00:37:58,860 --> 00:38:00,960
We're going up
underneath there, Fred.
666
00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:11,890
Not without doing
something to that rock.
667
00:38:13,100 --> 00:38:14,930
- [Dustin] We did something.
- Yeah?
668
00:38:15,130 --> 00:38:16,890
It's got two cables
on it right now.
669
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,960
[Fred] Uh-uh.
670
00:38:22,370 --> 00:38:24,450
What does "uh-uh" mean?
671
00:38:24,650 --> 00:38:27,340
Uh, it's just not enough.
I mean, that thing has got...
672
00:38:29,790 --> 00:38:30,790
...50 tons.
673
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,690
And you only got,
uh, a little,
674
00:38:34,890 --> 00:38:37,900
dinky little [bleep] cable
and a one...
675
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:40,240
What is that?
Half-inch on there?
676
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,440
With two cable clamps,
hell, that ain't even
enough cable clamps.
677
00:38:46,270 --> 00:38:49,340
That's gotta be fixed
right away.
678
00:38:49,540 --> 00:38:52,690
The very factor that
it's, uh, moved...
679
00:38:52,890 --> 00:38:56,720
...makes it an emergency
as far as I'm concerned.
680
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,030
[Dustin] It'll be fine,
but I think it's fine already.
681
00:38:59,230 --> 00:39:00,900
I think our cables
are getting tight,
682
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,690
and we can screw it
out of there.
683
00:39:02,890 --> 00:39:04,900
No. No.
684
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:07,440
Especially if you take...
move any rock down there.
685
00:39:09,060 --> 00:39:10,480
If it moved any at all...
686
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:13,440
...that thing can go
at any second.
687
00:39:15,580 --> 00:39:16,960
- [Fred] Nope. [laughs]
- [Dustin] What?
688
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,480
[Fred] That is not enough.
689
00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:21,000
I mean, that's scary.
690
00:39:23,580 --> 00:39:26,030
[Dustin] I feel safe with what
we did already.
691
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:27,340
I think we're just
gonna keep digging.
692
00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:29,650
[Fred] Dangerous mistake.
693
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,060
Total disaster
waiting to happen.
694
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:44,790
That's just kind
of a common sense thing.
695
00:39:44,990 --> 00:39:47,690
Sometimes common sense
is just not too common,
696
00:39:47,890 --> 00:39:49,270
especially when you get tired.
697
00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:53,000
Mentally tired,
mentally wore out,
698
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,030
physically tired.
699
00:39:55,230 --> 00:39:57,580
I'm fresh on the job,
I'm looking at it,
700
00:39:57,780 --> 00:40:00,340
they don't seem particularly
that much problem with it.
701
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:05,000
That rock, that rock was level
when I saw it last.
702
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:09,030
Tons of disaster sitting there
waiting to happen.
703
00:40:12,130 --> 00:40:15,100
Fred wants to tie off
the rock more,
a lot, lot more.
704
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:18,580
What he's talking about
would take me several days.
705
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:20,650
What do you do?
706
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:24,890
Do you take that chance,
or do you back off?
707
00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:29,860
Apparently I'm a chance-taker.
708
00:40:45,060 --> 00:40:47,690
[Fred] Setting up
a nice little
sleeping situation here.
709
00:40:47,890 --> 00:40:50,310
[narrator] Fred Hurt
spent over a decade
710
00:40:50,510 --> 00:40:52,790
mining in the Alaskan
back country.
711
00:40:52,990 --> 00:40:54,720
And he's learned
a thing or two
712
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,480
about packing for life
off-grid.
713
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,580
[Fred] Gotta have hats,
of course.
714
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,860
Gotta have gloves,
but you also...
715
00:41:05,060 --> 00:41:07,900
you can't come empty-handed
into a camp.
716
00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:09,890
So you gotta bring
a little gift.
717
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:14,890
[laughs]
718
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,790
Gotta have
a little hooch. [laughs]
719
00:41:18,990 --> 00:41:21,440
They wanna have a little, uh,
nip every once in a while.
720
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,680
Sure enough.
721
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:37,860
[Paul] [bleep].
This earth's got so many
ups and downs in it.
722
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:40,000
It is far from flat.
723
00:41:41,060 --> 00:41:42,550
- [Kayla] That's a good sign.
- [Paul] Yeah, it is.
724
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:44,900
[narrator] It's taken
six hours
725
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:48,030
but Paul is on bedrock,
726
00:41:48,230 --> 00:41:51,100
chasing its slope down
towards the deepest point
727
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:55,410
in the hunt for a bounty
of gold nuggets.
728
00:41:55,610 --> 00:41:58,140
It sounds like the bedrock
isn't very flat,
which is really good
729
00:41:58,340 --> 00:41:59,720
'cause it makes
for good gold catches.
730
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,100
Now it's just a matter
of finding that
right gold catch,
731
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:03,900
finding that pocket of gold,
732
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:07,310
hopefully finding
several ounces instead
of just a few pickers.
733
00:42:10,030 --> 00:42:11,550
Paul, it's about 5:00.
734
00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:13,620
- You in a pretty good
spot to stop?
- [Paul] Yep.
735
00:42:14,860 --> 00:42:15,890
[Kayla] All right.
736
00:42:27,890 --> 00:42:30,380
That water looks like
it was super calm today.
737
00:42:30,580 --> 00:42:32,100
It was.
738
00:42:34,410 --> 00:42:36,030
Maybe we should go
check the box.
739
00:42:38,270 --> 00:42:40,000
[Justin] Ooh, let's see.
740
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:48,790
I think I see a piece already.
741
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:51,790
Oh, [bleep]. Paul, look.
742
00:42:53,790 --> 00:42:55,410
Oh, yeah,
there's a couple pieces
right there.
743
00:42:55,610 --> 00:42:58,240
- [Kayla] Look at that.
- [Justin] [bleep], yeah,
one's close to you as well.
744
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,960
- [Kayla] There's chunkies
in there.
- [Justin] Yeah.
745
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,890
That's definitely a good sign,
I mean,
746
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:04,830
bedrock's there.
747
00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:06,550
There are cracks
and crevices in it, so.
748
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,340
Damn, that's not bad.
749
00:43:09,540 --> 00:43:11,370
Starting to add up
a little bit.
750
00:43:13,270 --> 00:43:14,440
[Paul] Damn.
751
00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:17,240
[Kayla] Getting chunky.
752
00:43:17,890 --> 00:43:19,170
[Paul] I like that.
753
00:43:19,370 --> 00:43:21,830
- [Justin]
They've gotten character.
- [Paul] Yeah, they do.
754
00:43:22,030 --> 00:43:23,900
[Justin]
That's awesome. [bleep].
755
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:26,720
[Kayla laughs] That's a decent
little pile.
756
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:27,790
- [Justin] Yeah.
- [Paul] Not bad at all.
757
00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:29,720
- It's a good sign.
- [Paul] It's a good start.
758
00:43:31,890 --> 00:43:34,960
We've worked so hard
and have had no reward
759
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,310
for any of our efforts,
and to now start seeing
a little bit of gold,
760
00:43:38,510 --> 00:43:40,070
it definitely gives us
a lot of hope.
761
00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:42,070
The fact that we found gold
two days in a row
762
00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:44,960
is a really good sign,
hopefully it continues
to get better.
763
00:43:47,100 --> 00:43:48,860
[Paul] I mean,
we're on bedrock,
we are finding gold,
764
00:43:49,060 --> 00:43:50,340
but that deep pockets is...
765
00:43:50,540 --> 00:43:53,100
that's what's gonna have
everything in it, so.
766
00:43:53,300 --> 00:43:56,070
That pocket of gold
could be right upstream
from us right there.
767
00:43:56,270 --> 00:43:58,830
Only time will tell now.
Hopefully we can get to it,
768
00:43:59,030 --> 00:44:00,650
hopefully we don't get
flooded out.
769
00:44:00,850 --> 00:44:04,270
And, uh, hopefully
we all go home rich.
770
00:44:04,470 --> 00:44:06,510
That's what we're here to do,
find gold.
771
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,550
Yeah, from here
that looks sketchy as heck.
772
00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:18,310
[narrator] Carlos has spent
the last five hours
773
00:44:18,510 --> 00:44:19,900
dredging in the danger zone
774
00:44:20,100 --> 00:44:22,100
beneath the 50-ton boulder,
775
00:44:22,300 --> 00:44:23,900
risking certain death
776
00:44:24,100 --> 00:44:26,550
in his pursuit
of life-changing gold.
777
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:28,790
[Carlos] Just beneath,
taking it down
778
00:44:28,990 --> 00:44:30,930
one rock at a time
and hope this whole boulder
779
00:44:31,130 --> 00:44:32,790
don't frickin', uh,
come down on us.
780
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,380
It's a little dangerous.
781
00:44:35,580 --> 00:44:38,680
That's why I keep
watching up there to see
if anything moves.
782
00:44:40,510 --> 00:44:43,580
Two-thirds of that rock
is trying to fall
in that hole.
783
00:44:43,780 --> 00:44:46,620
Every time I look
at that thing, that thing
gives me the willies.
784
00:44:50,510 --> 00:44:52,000
[Carlos] Hope you're
still watching, man.
785
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,100
I had to come up
and look at it.
786
00:44:55,130 --> 00:44:56,690
I didn't want
to flex on it, man,
787
00:44:56,890 --> 00:44:59,960
'cause I'm not trying...
if I don't look at it,
it's doing a diss.
788
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,580
I think they're
worried about it.
789
00:45:06,100 --> 00:45:09,130
If they're worried about it,
you gotta pay attention to it.
790
00:45:10,790 --> 00:45:13,410
Particularly if it's a concern
of the diver, which it is.
791
00:45:15,860 --> 00:45:18,240
[Dustin] [bleep], man.
Diver up!
792
00:45:20,170 --> 00:45:22,070
[Carlos laughing]
All right, man,
diver's coming up.
793
00:45:22,270 --> 00:45:23,790
[James] Diver coming up.
794
00:45:27,620 --> 00:45:29,340
[Carlos] See that?
See how it's starting
to slip a notch?
795
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:31,790
[James] Dude, it looks more
and more sketchy every time
I look at it.
796
00:45:31,990 --> 00:45:34,070
[Carlos laughs] I know, man.
797
00:45:34,270 --> 00:45:37,240
Hey, Fred, you should
check out and see
what's in the box.
798
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,310
[Fred] Better be some
gold in there.
799
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,000
Hey, Fred, how's things going?
800
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,790
[Fred] How you doing, man?
801
00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:46,520
- [Carlos] I haven't seen you.
- Yeah, yeah.
802
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:47,830
- Good job, good job.
- I sure hope there's gold.
803
00:45:48,030 --> 00:45:50,680
[Fred] Come on, baby, come on.
804
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:55,060
I don't see
nothing down there.
805
00:45:57,100 --> 00:46:00,520
[Carlos cheering] There it is!
806
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,650
- [Dustin] That looks good.
- [Carlos] There it is!
807
00:46:02,850 --> 00:46:04,100
[Dustin] There's a lot,
I can see it from here.
808
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:05,650
- [James] I can, too.
- [Fred] All right.
809
00:46:05,850 --> 00:46:07,410
- [Dustin laughing]
- [Carlos] Look at this!
810
00:46:07,610 --> 00:46:09,030
[James] What you got?
811
00:46:09,230 --> 00:46:10,960
[Carlos] Ah, pickers.
812
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,580
- [James] Wow, look at that.
- [Carlos] Look at that.
813
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,210
- [Carlos] Look at that baby.
- [James] That's a cool
looking beast.
814
00:46:16,410 --> 00:46:18,310
[James]
Like, crystalline gold.
815
00:46:18,510 --> 00:46:19,750
Look at this.
816
00:46:21,170 --> 00:46:22,860
- [Fred] That's gold.
- [James] That's a rare
type of gold.
817
00:46:23,060 --> 00:46:24,130
Oh, [bleep].
818
00:46:27,580 --> 00:46:30,380
[narrator] Crystalline gold
is textured and jagged,
819
00:46:30,580 --> 00:46:34,200
indicating it's not
traveled far from its source.
820
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:42,520
That's gold. That's gold.
821
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,100
- [Dustin] See how weird
that looks?
- Looks like it.
822
00:46:45,410 --> 00:46:46,760
See how weird it looks?
823
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,830
I ain't never, uh...
oh, that's been smashed,
I can tell you that.
824
00:46:50,030 --> 00:46:52,860
[laughs]
825
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:55,720
[narrator] Somewhere nearby
lies the motherlode
826
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:58,070
that Dustin has
been searching for.
827
00:46:58,270 --> 00:46:59,760
[Carlos] Gonna be a frickin'
pocket in there, man.
828
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:01,760
- [James] Crazy.
- Underneath that boulder,
829
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,440
you're gonna get that
weird frickin' crusty gold.
830
00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:06,960
[Dustin] We're getting gold,
831
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,000
finally getting
gold somewhere, just...
832
00:47:10,550 --> 00:47:12,580
It's just big boulder
situation now.
833
00:47:13,580 --> 00:47:16,100
Not sure exactly
what to do about it.
834
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:20,000
The season's almost done...
835
00:47:21,100 --> 00:47:23,690
...and, uh, we just started
getting gold
836
00:47:23,890 --> 00:47:25,520
every day.
837
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:28,790
The only real problem
we have right now is...
838
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:33,270
...giant boulder
over our head that's gonna
smash us like bugs.
839
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:37,860
What do you do?
840
00:47:40,890 --> 00:47:44,100
[narrator] Next time on
Gold Rush: White Water...
841
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:47,510
We need to sew
the entire rock together
up on top.
842
00:47:48,650 --> 00:47:50,790
I would wait until
Fred put the chains on.
843
00:47:52,750 --> 00:47:55,030
[Dustin] Go get his
[bleep] thing.
Go get his thing.
844
00:47:55,230 --> 00:47:57,790
Take a minute.
We're gonna get killed
like that.
845
00:47:58,790 --> 00:48:00,310
Kayla's on
a mission right now.
846
00:48:00,510 --> 00:48:02,100
At the fast pace
she's working,
847
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:03,690
it's gonna work us to death.
848
00:48:03,890 --> 00:48:06,440
Damn! This is exciting.
We're getting it.
