127 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:21,300 I've always been competitive. 128 00:05:21,332 --> 00:05:22,767 I played sports growing up. 129 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,233 But there's a lot of times where I could let things go, 130 00:05:25,267 --> 00:05:26,100 and let somebody else 131 00:05:26,133 --> 00:05:27,400 be right, or think that they're right, 132 00:05:27,433 --> 00:05:30,167 but when it comes down to me and my dad, 133 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,167 I got a lot of pent-up stuff inside. 134 00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,067 The only reason that this plant is running 135 00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,100 is because I needed to prove him wrong. 136 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:40,233 My dad, Andy, and Tater, 137 00:05:40,267 --> 00:05:41,533 I know that they didn't really think 138 00:05:41,567 -->

gonna keep plugging away, 142 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,400 and I think we're gonna prove the Black Pearl 143 00:05:48,433 --> 00:05:51,233 is an instrumental piece in us actually getting to our goal, 144 00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:53,332 and I think, in the end, everybody's gonna be happy 145 00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:55,067 that we put in the work we did. 146 00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:06,800 [narrator] With both plants running at full capacity, 147 00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:09,533 Andy and the rest of the crew work to deliver 148 00:06:09,567 --> 00:06:12,767 twice the amount of paydirt from the ancient river cut. 149 00:06:14,367 --> 00:06:15,267 [Andy] Now, it's our job 150 00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:16,733 to go get the gold out of the ground. 151 00:06:16,767 --> 00:06:17,733 That's what we're here to do, 152 00:06:17,767 --> 00:06:20,233 so we're gonna run both plants, some paydirt. 153 00:06:21,967 --> 00:06:23,633 I think we're going in the right direction. 154 00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:26,133 We keep feeling like we're getting closer 155 00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:29,100 to the source of where this gold is coming from. 156 00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:32,933 A lot of this gold is so jagged and rough, 157 00:06:32,967 --> 00:06:34,667 and it doesn't have a smooth edge on it, 158 00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:37,200 so it didn't travel from very far. 159 00:06:37,233 --> 00:06:39,400 It just indicates that you're getting closer 160 00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:40,332 to where it came from, 161 00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:42,733 so the more of that material we got, 162 00:06:42,767 --> 00:06:44,467 the more gold's gonna be in it. 163 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:45,667 We're just gonna keep digging, 164 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:47,933 and keep working our way upstream. 165 00:06:47,967 --> 00:06:50,332 One of the first cuts that we did up here, 166 00:06:50,367 --> 00:06:51,332 it was literally 167 00:06:51,367 --> 00:06:52,933 the richest gold pan we'd ever seen. 168 00:06:52,967 --> 00:06:54,667 You could actually make a living 169 00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,267 panning for gold here. 170 00:07:01,067 --> 00:07:02,800 [Cub] I'm really excited to see 171 00:07:02,833 --> 00:07:05,867 what kind of gold we can do with the Black Pearl. 172 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:07,067 We can run a lot of stuff 173 00:07:07,067 --> 00:07:08,467 that the Holy Roller just can't. 174 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,667 Ours was built for this material, custom. 175 00:07:12,633 --> 00:07:15,333 Nome is known for having a lot of clay, 176 00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:16,400 so The Holy Roller, 177 00:07:16,433 --> 00:07:18,700 they can't handle that amount of clay. 178 00:07:18,733 --> 00:07:20,800 Their trommel is like a Slip 'N Slide. 179 00:07:20,832 --> 00:07:24,067 Ours is like a torture chamber, 180 00:07:24,067 --> 00:07:25,067 so it'll beat the crap 181 00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,367 out of anything we put in there. 182 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,167 I don't think these old

00:07:51,067 I think we'll have some good gold in the box. 195 00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:14,467 [Todd] We ran the Holy Roller eight hours today. 196 00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,533 Andy literally was able
