Did it change? 643 00:29:31,551 --> 00:29:33,275 [Micah] Yeah. Has anybody touched the water? 644 00:29:33,275 --> 00:29:34,482 [Todd] No. Why? 645 00:29:34,482 --> 00:29:37,586 'Cause that one over there was at 12, 646 00:29:37,586 --> 00:29:40,000 this one over here was at nine. 647 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,896 -Why? -[Micah] I don't know. 648 00:29:41,896 --> 00:29:44,206 I've never had a jump like that. 649 00:29:44,206 --> 00:29:48,655 Anything over five pounds, we're blowing gold out of it. 650 00:29:48,655 --> 00:29:51,172 [Micah] I have no idea how long it ran like that. 651 00:29:53,206 --> 00:29:56,103 [narrator] Hydraulic riffles, or hydraulic nugget traps, 652 00:29:56,103 --> 00:29:59,724 are designed to inject a steady five pounds of water pressure, 653 00:29:59,724 --> 00:30:02,586 which prevents clay build-up and losing gold 654 00:30:02,586 --> 00:30:04,275 off the end of the sluice box. 655 00:30:06,103 --> 00:30:09,310 [Todd] This hydraulic on one side was 12 pounds, 656 00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:11,068 the other side was nine. 657 00:30:11,068 --> 00:30:12,551 [Todd] Yeah, I know. 658 00:30:13,586 --> 00:30:15,068 I quit doing those stuff. 659 00:30:15,551 --> 00:30:17,103 This really pisses me off. 660 00:30:17,103 --> 00:30:18,586 I don't know if we had an air bubble, 661 00:30:18,586 --> 00:30:20,344 something happened. 662 00:30:20,344 --> 00:30:23,413 We've already had a couple crucial errors... 663 00:30:24,103 --> 00:30:25,448 but this is a big one. 664 00:30:26,172 --> 00:30:27,586 Okay, let's shut it down. 665 00:30:27,586 --> 00:30:29,896 Everybody, shut it down. 666 00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:32,379 [narrator] With the risk of losing gold too high, 667 00:30:32,379 --> 00:30:35,551 Todd decides to shutdown the Holy Roller. 668 00:30:36,586 --> 00:30:38,862 [Todd] The first time they fired the plant up, 669 00:30:38,862 --> 00:30:42,206 and that'll blow up my distribution box. 670 00:30:42,206 --> 00:30:45,068 And now nobody's checking, uh, the freaking pressure's there, 671 00:30:45,068 --> 00:30:46,172 I'm feeding the plant. 672 00:30:46,172 --> 00:30:47,896 I can't do everything. 673 00:30:48,586 --> 00:30:50,310 It's all for nothing 674 00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:52,827 if you forget the little things. 675 00:31:04,206 --> 00:31:06,551 [Ron] This morning, there's a concern about the, uh, 676 00:31:06,551 --> 00:31:08,724 gauges that monitor the riffle pressure 677 00:31:08,724 --> 00:31:09,862 not being accurate. 678 00:31:09,862 --> 00:31:12,206 So, the discussion amongst the team 679 00:31:12,206 --> 00:31:15,206 was that we think that there might be some sediment 680 00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:17,344 or material building up in the gauges, 681 00:31:17,344 --> 00:31:20,103 and we just wanna pop them off real quick 682 00:31:20,103 --> 00:31:21,586 while the unit's down, 683 00:31:21,586 --> 00:31:24,655 and clean them out and see if there's anything suspect. 684 00:31:24,655 --> 00:31:26,655 Maybe a piece of dirt blocking the hole, 685 00:31:26,655 --> 00:31:28,068 or anything, so... 686 00:31:34,379 --> 00:31:35,448 Oh, yeah. 687 00:31:35,448 --> 00:31:37,896 The gauge is still reading just over half a pound 688 00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:39,758 or a pound of pressure, 689 00:31:39,758 --> 00:31:40,862 and there's nothing on it. 690 00:31:40,862 --> 00:31:42,586 The gauge might be stretched. 691 00:31:42,586 --> 00:31:44,586 So, I'm gonna go pull the other gauge 692 00:31:44,586 --> 00:31:46,724 and see what it looks like. 693 00:31:49,758 --> 00:31:52,344 This unit had a big over pressurization 694 00:31:52,344 --> 00:31:53,758 a few days ago. 695 00:31:53,758 --> 00:31:55,862 These are hooked into that circuit. 696 00:31:55,862 --> 00:31:57,172 And as a result, 697 00:31:57,172 --> 00:32:00,965 with these gauges only being good to 15 PSI, 698 00:32:00,965 --> 00:32:03,379 we suspect it got up to around 60 699 00:32:03,379 --> 00:32:04,758 and stretched these gauges out. 700 00:32:04,758 --> 00:32:06,310 So now, with the pressure off it, 701 00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:08,655 it's not returning back to zero. 702 00:32:08,655 --> 00:32:10,655 The gauge itself internally is stretched. 703 00:32:10,655 --> 00:32:13,586 These really haven't settled out very well. 704 00:32:13,586 --> 00:32:16,379 I got just under half a pound on this one, 705 00:32:16,379 --> 00:32:18,172 and this one's just over half a pound. 706 00:32:18,172 --> 00:32:20,068 So, we're just gonna have to get new gauges. 707 00:32:29,482 --> 00:32:30,655 [Hunter] The Holy Roller, 708 00:32:30,655 --> 00:32:33,103 you know, up until recently was running really good. 709 00:32:33,103 --> 00:32:37,000 You know, it's possible that they're just kinda getting a little bit complacent, 710 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,379 and it's kinda biting 'em in the ass. 711 00:32:39,379 --> 00:32:42,655 At the end of the day, it's like, you can't let your guard down. 712 00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:45,000 I mean, in my opinion, 713 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,206 when it comes to mining, 714 00:32:46,206 --> 00:32:48,827 it's better to just keep it simple, you know. 715 00:32:48,827 --> 00:32:49,965 The less moving parts, 716 00:32:49,965 --> 00:32:52,172 the less things you have that can breakdown. 717 00:32:52,172 --> 00:32:54,000 And, when it comes down to the end of the season, 718 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,482 you can't afford to have breakdowns, 719 00:32:55,482 --> 00:32:57,379 so that's why right now, 720 00:32:57,379 --> 00:33:01,482 maintenance, and being really perceptive and keeping a close eye 721 00:33:01,482 --> 00:33:03,655 on all of our equipment, the plant, the bearings, 722 00:33:03,655 --> 00:33:05,275 everything, making sure everything is greased 723 00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:06,448 at the end of the day, 724 00:33:06,448 --> 00:33:08,000 everything's shut down properly 725 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,620 is extremely important. 726 00:33:12,206 --> 00:33:14,586 But, sometimes things get overlooked, 727 00:33:14,586 --> 00:33:15,862 because people think 728 00:33:15,862 --> 00:33:18,793 that the next guy is checking in on that. 729 00:33:19,758 --> 00:33:21,103 The Black Pearl's a little different. 730 00:33:21,103 --> 00:33:22,758 I know this thing inside and out. 731 00:33:22,758 --> 00:33:24,655 I've never felt attached 732 00:33:24,655 --> 00:33:27,068 to a piece of machinery before, but... 733 00:33:27,586 --> 00:33:28,965 this is our baby. 734 00:33:33,103 --> 00:33:34,896 [Ron] Our gauges came in. 735 00:33:34,896 --> 00:33:36,862 [Todd] What do you think, Ron, is this gonna work? 736 00:33:36,862 --> 00:33:38,965 [Ron] This is gonna work.
