13x20 - Washed Out

[bunniefuu]

We're running out of ground,
we gotta know

where we're going next.

Putting a lot of my eggs
in the Fairbanks basket.

If there's lots of gold
down there, it doesn't matter.

[Paul]
Mine boss Parker Schnabel

is readying himself
for judgment day,

after sinking hundreds
of thousands of dollars

into a new claim in Alaska.

The young miners
banked 108 ounces

from tailings left behind
by old timers.

But the real score
is the Wolf Cut,
virgin ground,

which could hold
over 2,000 ounces worth

more than $3 million.

This Wolf Cut
is a really important pit,

maybe the most important
one of the whole season

in terms of what information
we get from it.

[Paul] Just to get down
to the Wolf Cut's pay layer

has taken Parker's crew
more than two months.

That Wolf Cut, it's been
an absolute [bleep].

With the amount of water
that's coming in at us

and just the conditions
are brutal.

[bleep] things.

[bleep]

[Paul] Three weeks ago,
a devastating flood

turned the Wolf Cut
into a lake.

Probably would have
had better odds
just going to Vegas

with all the money
rather than drowning it here.

[Paul] After battling
back the water,

foreman Mark Forrs
is finally down to pay dirt.

And Parker's determined
to discover

if there's enough gold
to go all in.

- [Parker] Hey, man.
- [Mark] Hey. What's going on?

- How you been?
- Good. Good.

What you got going on?

So we just got down
to gravel here
and got the mud off,

and I think it's a good spot
to test it, right?

Because this would be
the lowest gravel

right now in our cut.

[Parker] I'm just gonna work
my way up panning.

Yeah.

[Parker] If there's gold in it
we'll sluice it.

Yeah.

So that just had
two tiny little fly [bleep]
in it.

[Mark] Too small.

[Parker]
Where were you panning that?

It's right over there.

[Parker] Yeah.
That's more like it.

That's super fine.

But there's 35...

And like 35 even tiny colors
is a really good pan.

[Mark] Yeah.

Because we're panning
some gold in it

and some of
it doesn't have gold in it,

just haul a couple
of thousand yards up.

Okay.

So I'm just gonna rip out
of here.

Be back in two days.
And I want to see
what's in it.

Yeah. Sounds good.

- All right.
- All right.
I'll just tell Mike.

[Parker] Let's go ahead
and take this down
to the plant.

Okay.

[Paul] In the 480 excavator,

operator Michael Bodri
digs pay dirt.

I think that

Parker is pretty
excited to see

what's in the bottom
of this hole.

Most definitely.

I don't know
who's more excited, him or us.

[Paul] Rock truck driver
Phill Wickert

and trainee mine boss
Tyler Mahoney

haul the pay to wash plant,
Red Rocket.

Feels good that we're finally
in the Wolf Cut

all in this payoff.

I know. I'm so excited.

I feel like we're so close.

This is what we're mining for.

And if there's gold here,
it's gonna be a great sign
for next year.

Let's go. Fire it up.

Ready for water.

We got our first bucket
of that virgin pay here.

[Paul] For the first time
in a decade,

Parker's sluicing
virgin Alaskan pay.

[Parker] Sluicing, what
they're hauling out right now,

it's either a good thing
or a bad thing.

But I'm hoping to see
lots of gold.

[Tony speaking]

[Paul]
Over three quarters of the way
through the season,

king of the Klondike,
Tony Beets,

has ripped through
two of the deepest cuts

ever on Paradise Hill,
banking $5 million in gold.

Now,
with winter around the corner,

he's churning through
the Eighty Pup cut,

hoping to bring in
as much gold as possible.

[Tony speaking]

[Faith]
Tony? Do you copy, Tony?

[Tony speaking]

[Faith]
There's someone in the office
here waiting for you.

[Tony speaking]

[Shane]
Hey, Tony. How are you?

[Tony speaking]

I got a couple of questions
I've got to ask you.

- Maybe you can help me out.
- [Tony speaking]

No.
I was gonna give you
some money.

[Tony speaking]

[Paul] For three seasons,
local miner Shane Smith

worked as a mechanic
for Parker Schnabel.

Now he's rolling the dice
on his own Klondike claim.

I got a bunch of pay
to sluice,

and our water license
is up next year,

so I'm looking for a plant.

I thought I'd give you a try,

see if you had anything
kicking around.

I saw your Kiwi plant sitting
on the side of the road there.

I know
it needs a little work,
but I can make it work.

Oh, yeah.

[Tony speaking]

No, that's...
that'd be awesome.

I would just love that.

I mean,
no wonder they call you
the king of the Klondike.

[Shane] Yeah.

Awesome.
That would be great.

Awesome.

Appreciate it.
Thank you, man.

[Shane laughs]

[Paul] Tony's 25-ton
Kiwi wash plant

has sat idle gathering rust
all season.

[Tony speaking]

- Yeah.
- [Tony speaking]

[Paul] To get the plant
hauled quickly

to Shane's claim 20 miles
away at Dominion Creek,

Tony assembles his best crew
from the Eighty Pup cut.

[Tony speaking]

[Len speaking]

[Tony speaking]

[Mike speaking]

[honking]

[Tony speaking]

[bleep]

[Paul] On the road
to Dominion Creek...

- Tony's youngest son,
Mike Beets...
- [Mike] [bleep]

...has dropped
the 25 ton

Kiwi wash plant
off the back of his lowboy.

Film that you might lose
the [bleep] camera,

I'm dead serious.

[man] Are you okay, Mikey?

I'm fine.

- [man] Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Can someone go get my dad?

We gotta call my dad
'cause this is a [bleep]
actual bad problem.

Nick, Nick, Nick,
come back, come back.

[Nick] Want me to wait
or to back up?

[Mike] Come back.
The [bleep] thing fell off.

Oh, [bleep].

[Mike] The worst part
is I wasn't even going fast.

[Len] Hey.

Must have just
had enough flex,

that the thing went...

and one of the chains
came off,

and the [bleep]
rest went over.

Yeah.

Disaster.

[Mike] It is.

[Len] [bleep]

[Tony speaking]

No, it actually didn't take
that much damage.

It's just [bleep] pain
in the a*s.

[Tony speaking]

[Mike] What's your plan, Dad?

[Tony speaking]

I was already thinking
that, too.

Because otherwise,
you're gonna [bleep].

[Tony speaking]

Yeah, throw it on the lowboy

or are we just
gonna drive it out?

[Tony speaking]

[Paul] What should have been
an easy money making
four-hour job

will now take
the Beets twice as long.

[Tony speaking]

[Dave] I started gold mining
in Alaska 13 years ago,
and I'm back.

And maybe
this is the place to end it.

I put us in a good spot.

But you know what?

Nothing lasts forever.

All good things
must come to an end.

[Paul] At Glacier Creek,
it's the end of an era
for Dozer Dave Turin.

[Dave] I don't know
what the future holds,

but I'm ready for
another chapter in my life.

[Paul] Before he hangs up
his gold mining boots,

Dave first needs
to secure the sale

of his $1 million
turnkey operation.

I came up here
to shut this thing down,

sell my equipment, and retire.

And now I'm mining
a brand-new cut,
the Three Amigos cut.

[Paul] To prove the ground
is worth the price tag,

the master prospector
is chasing a gold hot spot

in the Three Amigos cut.

[Dave] I've got
to get 30 ounces.

I've got to prove that
there's virgin ground

and I got to prove it
to Nathan and Jason

that's interested
in buying this.

[Paul] Dave wants 30 ounces
to cover costs

and send potential buyers
Nathan Clark

and Jason Sanchez home
with gold in their pockets.

[Jason] You know,
we're at 12 ounces right now.

But that's not
what we set out for.

I'd love to see


That way we can hit
that 30 we were hoping for.

It's gonna answer
whether we do
or don't buy this place.

Right now, we're getting
deeper and deeper

and it's hard
on the equipment.

[Dave] I believe that pay
is here somewhere,

but we just
don't seem to be
getting to the plant.

But I want to see
if there's, you know,

any better gold the deeper
we get here.

Let's see what this one does.

Well, that right there
is $10 to $15 a yard.

But I need to find
that $20 yard stuff.

So we're gonna go deeper.

I'm gonna try to pull a sample
right at the water level.

The material is changing.

It's getting to be
a lot more big rocks.

That's shows that
there is a lot of energy

to move these big rocks
down here.

Typically,
if there's a lot of energy,

it moves the gold too.

Oh, boy.

Here we're talking.

Boom!

There it is.

That's... that's over
$20 yard.

That's $20 to $25 yard.

That's what we're looking for.

That's what I need
to sell this ground.

Good news.

Now I know
where the gold is living.

Bad news,
right under the water.

[Paul] Downstream
of last year's cuts,

Team Turin had been
mining the 10,000 square foot

Three Amigos cut.

Now 20 feet deep,
Dave has found
a richer pay layer.

The problem is,
as the crew dig deeper,

they'll hit the water table,
which will flood their cut

and could stop them
from getting the gold.

Right now I'm at 20 foot
in depth,

the deepest that I've been.

We're gonna get down
and get into that good gold.

[Nathan] She's having
a little bit of fun
pulling up out of these hills.

You know, this is a claim
that we can buy,

but we've got to make sure
Dave does not have a dud here.

[Jason] We got
the flat turning
and burning.

We are swinging
and singing

and just flat kicking a*s
right now.

Life's good.

Dave, it is raining

harder than I ever seen
it rain here before.

It's crazy.

The water coming into the cut
is flowing like the river.

[Dave] It's flooding.

I mean,
we got a lot of [bleep] water
coming in.

Water is coming in
from my left and my right

behind me, in front of me.

[Dave] I think
what we ought to do

is go get that pump.

Ten-four.

[Paul]
Facing the double trouble
of groundwater

coming up through the floor,

and runoff flooding down
from the mountains,

Team Turin bring
in their eight-inch pump.

[Jason] All right.
Let's hook it up first.

[Paul]
To drain 270,000 gallons
of water an hour

into a nearby settling pond.

[Jason] I became
a much better miner last year

having to deal
with all this water.

[Nathan] Oh, yeah.

[Jason] Because when
you're 30 feet
below a river

and you're still
able to de-water,

you're doing something right.

[engine starting]

And we're de-watering.

Thanks, Nater.

Good job, man.

[Paul]
Crisis averted for now.

Team Turin can get back
running the deep
gold rich pay layer,

but if it doesn't pay out,
Dave's dream of selling

his $1 million mine
could be over.

So I want to give them
the best opportunity

to make a very good
intelligent decision
that's based on facts

rather than emotions.

But weather's setting in,
we're running out of time.

Now, this is the first plant
I see on the side.

Never seen it before.

[Paul] Two hours
after Mike Beets
flipped the Kiwi plant,

his father Tony
returns with two loaders

to get it back on the road.

[Tony speaking]

[Shane] Holy [bleep], Tony,

this isn't
what I expected to see.

[Tony speaking]

[Shane] That's unreal.

[Tony speaking]

- Yeah.
- [Tony speaking]

Yeah, we might have
a few things to straighten up.

[Tony speaking]

Hopefully, it's all good.

I was expecting it
just to show up in one piece.

[Tony speaking]

[Paul] Operator Brandon Carr
joins Mike in the loaders

to flip the plant back upright

ready from maestro
Tony's direction.

[Tony speaking]

Yeah.
Hopefully everything's good
with her.

We can fire it up
and test it out.

Then maybe we can wash
some gold.

We're running out of time.

[Tony speaking]

Finally made it. [chuckles]

[Paul] Eight hours
after leaving Paradise Hill,

the Kiwi plant
finally arrives

at Shane's Dominion
Creek claim.

[Tony speaking]

[Shane] It's awesome.
Plant made it here finally.

That's gonna help me
out amazingly.

I'm so happy to have it here.
It's awesome.

You know, if we can get
a few solid days in here,

I think we can make
a lot of progress
in a hurry...

[Phill] Got to
keep that dirt moving.

Like I always say,
scoop the dirt.

Dump the dirt.
Scoop the dirt.

Dump the dirt.

[laughs]

[Paul] A year after
first testing the ground,

Parker's Alaskan crew
are finally
sluicing virgin pay dirt

from the gold rich Wolf Cut.

Yeah.
We're running tight
from the Wolf Cut,

which is very exciting.

Feel like it's been
a very long time coming.

But we're there.

[Mark speaking]

It is.

Okay, that does
not look good.

It looks like our good friends
Mother Nature

and Murphy's Law
are at it once again.

Oh, it's got
a big chunk coming up.

[Phill] Oh, she is
pouring out.

Wow!

[bleep]

[Phill on radio] Hey, Mike.
Let's get out of here fast.

It's come up eight inches
in the last ten minutes.

[bleep] me!

Zach, I don't have
[bleep] time for this.

Our cut's about to flood.

[Phill] Well, definitely
didn't expect this
to [bleep] happen.

Just gonna re-hook
the pump back up,

so we can try to at least

keep some of the water
out, hopefully.

[Paul]
At Parker's Alaskan mine,
a catastrophic flood

has once again
drowned out the Wolf Cut.

[Mark] There's a big
shaft pole there.

I think these old timers
kind of screwed us.

They came in here
and dug little holes
and tunnels everywhere

under there,
and nobody knows where.

[Paul] While digging for pay
in the bottom of the Wolf Cut,

the 480 excavator
struck the side of the pit

and uncovered
a water logged mine shaft,

flooding millions of gallons
of water

into the pit
covering the pay gravels.

Yeah, you can see
where all the water
that's coming out of here.

There's a lot of water
that's... that's probably

twice that going in.

[Paul] The crew already
have one eight-inch pump,

but it's not enough.

[bleep] Okay, Mark.

We're in the [bleep] here.
Do we have an extra pump
to put in there?

- Hey, Phill. Get a little
hustle going on.
- [Phill] Huh?

[Mark] We gotta
get these hooked up.

- [Phill] Good, Mark?
- [Mark] Yeah.

[Phill on radio] Yeah, we got
the second pump working,
but it's still flooding.

[bleep] There's water
coming in everywhere.

We're not gaining.

The two pumps
in there aren't working.

We need another pump
in there ASAP.

[Paul]
After firing up two pumps,

Parker's crew are still
losing their fight
with the water.

We're in the absolute
[bleep] now.
It's [bleep] chaos.

The two pumps we got in there
just aren't working.

They're not gaining
on the water.

I think we're just gonna
have to pull the pump
from the wash plant,

which I just don't know
if that's
[bleep] right decision.

I'm trying to call Parker,
but he's not answering me.

And I don't want to be
the one to make this decision.

This is his gold.
It's his mine site.

I just don't know
what to do.

This is a huge call.

I think I'm just gonna have to
pull that pump out of there.

It might piss Parker off,
but right now

we're about to lose
all the pay in the Wolf Cut.

[Paul] Tyler makes
the hard call and shuts down

wash plant Red Rocket to steal
its massive ten-inch pump

and double
their draining power.

[Mark] We got
three pumps going now.

We'll be here tomorrow
and we'll...

we'll see
where the level's at,

and we'll go from there.

Do you see
where all the bubbles are?

You can still see
the water perking
in pretty bad.

This is
an absolute nightmare.

- [Phill] Worst case scenario.
- Yeah.

Hopefully, it's not the end
of the season for us

and want to keep
attacking this

and get down
to that pay again.

[Jarred] A little
heartbreaking when
the water started to come in.

Really don't want to leave.

Want to see
what's at the bottom.

But it's up to Parker.

[Paul]
Three hundred miles south.

[Jason] Weather forecast,


with 100% getting your a*s
whooped by water.

[Paul] Team Turin are fighting
their own water wars.

[Dave] And now that
we're going deeper,

we're gonna have to keep up
with the groundwater.

And raining
like a son of a g*n.

We've had six days
of rain in a row,

and so it's filling up
our cut.

[Paul]
After successfully draining

the Three Amigos cut
to run pay,

more heavy rain
and rising groundwater

threatens to wash away
their hopes of pulling out


You know, every day
is a flood warning.

Every day it's taking three
to four hours

just to get back down
to the good pay.

[Jason] This amount of water,
the problem is

I can't send
too wet a pay up to that Eagle

or it won't be able
to run it.

It just wants to wash
back down the conveyor belt.

[Dave] The deeper we go,
the groundwater
is just saturating our pay,

and it won't go up
the pay belt.

We're really struggling
to get through this.

I'm worried about high water.

Right now, there's no chance
of getting the Eagle
across the river.

I'm worried about getting
the two rented machines out.

If they remain in here
through the winter

and I have to pay rent on it,
that's gonna k*ll me.

This is a very
tough decision.

Hey, Nate, Jason.

I've got to get this
equipment across the river.

Meet at the sluice box.

Come here a minute. Um...

the water
is saturating our pay

and it won't go up
the pay belt.

You know, we can't sluice.

Is this enough pay
to get the 30 ounces, though?

Normally, I'd say sluice,
sluice, sluice.

But we've got to call it.

You know,
we're in quite a bit.

We'll have enough hours
in the box,

at least give us a judgment of
what we're actually getting.

We're at the 20-foot zone.

I mean, it should be
able to tell us
where we're at.

I'm thinking,
today is the day, season over.

I understand.

[Jason] I get that.

[Paul] There's just
one massive problem.

This might be
our only opportunity

to get this equipment
out of here.

[Paul]
$1 million of hired equipment

is on the wrong side
of the river.

It's now or never
to get it out.

All right, guys.

[over radio] Let's roll them
into the water.

Hope and pray
that they make it across.

Ten-four. En route, senor.

I'm gonna bring Jason
and the excavator
across first,

have him test,
see if there's any, you know,

deep holes or something.

And then
if he makes it across clear,

then Nathan with the loader
is gonna go.

All right. Here we go.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

[bleep]

There's some big rocks
under there, Nate.

So be careful.

Copy that. Copy that.

[Dave] Holy cow!

It's coming up
almost into your cab.

You got water
in your cab yet?

No, but I'm on the move.
I'm out.

[Dave] All right.
We got that one out.

Good job, Jason.
Good job!

Whoo!

[Jason] There's a lot
more water coming down

this river than last time.

That's for damn sure.

All right, Nater,

you saw there's a couple
of deep spots.

Just be careful.

Ten-four.

Come on, baby.

[Dave on radio]
Right in there.
Careful. Careful.

Come on, baby. Come on.

Oh, [bleep].

[bleep]

Okay. There you go.
Come on.

I think I got it.
I think I got it.

[Dave] There you go.
Yeah, buddy.

- Whoo!
- [Dave] There you go.

Good job, guys.

Got that across.

Way to go, Nater.
Good job, man.

Boy, there are some rocks
and holes in there, Dave.

My Lord.

[Dave] The Eagle's gonna stay
right where it's at.

That's...
that's the smart decision.

[Jason] I'm wondering
when it comes to deciding

whether this is our claim
or not,

with three of us,
I know we're...

we're doing small piece
of ground.

Exactly.

You start wanting to get
a full season opened up,

you're gonna get
cuts like this.

I mean, think about this.

I mean,
we're only three foot down.

We're de-watering.

You know how much money
that is in fuel and pumps?

- Yeah.
- Pumps ain't cheap.

Fuel ain't cheap.

We gotta make actually
a business decision

and not emotional decision.

So, Mikey, how do you like

this last bit of pay
that we got here?

It's frozen.

Oh, yes.
I can hear that.

So how's your year
going this year?

Um, it's going
pretty good.

I mean, it's...
it's almost over...

we're like...
we see the light
at the end of the...

at the end of the trommel?
[chuckles]

How about you, Mikey?
How do you feel
about this season?

Long...
It was the long year.

[Ruby] Oh, felt that one.

[laughs]

Yeah. You're good to go.

Okay.

[Paul]
At Cleary Creek,

a devastating flood
has shut down

Parker's crew from running
the gold rich Wolf Cut pay.

How's that looking
down there?

I've been watching
Mark down in the hole,

playing with the pumps,
and looks like

he's winning
one heck of a battle.

They got some rivers
running through the cut
here now

and getting down
just maybe a small little pool

on the far end there.

[Paul]
The three pumps have removed


in 24 hours.

We're down to where we need
to get the muck out of it.

So we're trying to get the mud
out of this hole

that washed
in there when it flooded.

They're building
the road over here.

And it is blocking a big hole
that was coming up

out of the old
shaft underground.

[Paul] Now Parker's back
from the Yukon,

expecting to see
the Wolf Cut's first clean up.

[Tyler] You missed
the great flood.

We chucked three pumps
in there to try

and pump out
some of the water.

[Parker] That ain't good.

[Tyler] Yeah.
So much mud.

[Parker] Got a [bleep] mess
on your hands,

that's for sure.

[Mark] Yes. We have, like,
four foot of muck

in this last section
to get off.

[bleep]

What a pain in the a*s.

Why don't you go help Phill?

- I need a minute.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, good. All right.

[Tyler] It's a bit
of a [bleep] show, isn't it?

If I'd have known
I was sending...

sending you guys
into this mess,

I would have never done it.

When I showed up,
I was pretty ready
to pull the pin.

But, you know, we're
in a couple hundred thousand
dollar hole at the moment,

so it'd be kind of stupid
to give up at this point.

So we don't know,
there could be

just [bleep] buckets of gold
down there, right?

[Tony speaking]

[Monica] You did what?

Oh, my bind [bleep] snapped.

So the [bleep] thing went...

- [Minnie] I know.
- Right?

I mean, that's
terrible, but...

[Minnie] Yeah.

[Paul]
The Beets crew have been
running White Channel pay

from the Eighty Pup cut


So, Mike, that's quite a bit
of gold look right there.

I don't know,
if I take my cut.

[laughs]

[Tony speaking]

[laughs]

[Paul] To hit his


Tony needs to average


Oh, we're not
all here to talk,

so we might
as well start weighing it.

[Kevin] Everybody ready?

- Yep.
- [Tony speaking]















[Paul] Worth over $700,000.

- [Mike] Oh, that's perfect.
- [laughs]

[Tony speaking]

[Kevin] That's pretty good.
That'll pay a couple bills.

[Tony speaking]

- [Minnie] Yeah.
- [Kevin] Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.

[Tony speaking]

Whereabouts
are we towards that goal?

We're over 3500 ounces.

So we have about


So that's not bad.

- Yeah.
- [Tony speaking]

[Nathan] Shelly,
you got that gold ready?

- [Shelly] I do.
- [Nathan] Oh, Lordy!

[Shelly] Looks good.

- [Jason] Ooh!
- [Shelly] Looks good.

- [Dave] Oh, wow.
- [Jason] Oh.

[Nathan] That's better than
the other ones.

[Paul] Team Turin are gunning
for 18 ounces

to hit their 30 ounce goal,

which will cover costs,
send them home with gold,

and prove
Dave's Glacier Creek claim

is worth
its $1 million price tag.

All right.

So, you know, you guys came up
here to shut things down.

Well, you guys
had a better idea.

Let's fire it up.

I didn't think
it was possible.

Three guys and a gal,
and we're gonna move a plant,

build a pad, set pumps,
oh, and de-water.

- I loved it.
- Yeah.

- We wanted 30 ounces.
- [Nathan] Yeah.

[Dave] Right here is 19 hours.

- [Nathan] Virgin.
- Virgin ground,
you got on it.

We know where it's at.

We hit that $20 a yard
test number two,

and it's right here.

I think it looks
pretty good.

[Shelly]
So far we have 12.44.

[Jason]
That's looking pretty good.

And we'll add that,

see if we reached our goal.

[Dave] 13, 14,

- 15, 17, 18, 19.
- [Shelly] We're going for 30!

[Dave] There's 20.

- [Nathan] Come on.
- [Dave] 21, 22, 24.5, 26, 28.

[Nathan] Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Dave] 29, come on.

- [laughs]
- [Nathan] Get over.

- [Shelly] Really?
- [Dave] Oh, no.

No! [bleep]

Oh, my word!

So close.

- Point what?
- [Dave] 29.75.

- [Nathan] I'll take that
as a win.
- That's a win.

- [Nathan] That's a win.
- [Dave] That's a win.

[Paul] Worth over $50,000
and proving the deeper

Three Amigos virgin pay dirt
holds nearly an
ounce per 100 yards,

high quality ground
that could get richer

the deeper they go.



- 17.3?
- On hours, the 19 hours.

One more hour,
we'd have been over 30 ounces.

- [Nathan] Half an hour.
- Half an hour.

[Shelly] Yeah, right.

[Dave]
But it was raining so hard,

we're like, "All right,
we're done."

You made
the right decision, Dave.

That river is just getting
higher and higher.

We had to...
we had to pull the equipment.

We're walking away
with almost ten ounces apiece.

What we accomplished
with three people,
pretty amazing.

It is.

I'm offering
all these claims,

the equipment to you guys.

Is that enough gold?

After talking with Nate,
it's not a no from us.

It's just not yet.

We have to talk
to our families.

All right.

I get it.
Go talk to your families.

You're my first choice.

Appreciate that.

One final time,
Team Turin on three.

One, two, three.

[all] Team Turin!

- [Nathan] Whoo!
- [Jason] Whoo!

[Nathan]
I mean, my Lord, I mean,
we just pulled 56 hours,



I mean, that's like close
to $55,000 in gold.

Where else
can you do that at?

Man, I'm damn proud
what we've done,

and I wouldn't have done it
with anybody else.

I started my career
gold mining in Alaska.

That's every
gold miner's dream
is to come to Alaska,

have your own claims,
put a team together
and mine for gold.

I've learned a tremendous
amount from Dave.

And on top of that,

I've grown as a man,
not just a miner.

The biggest struggle I have

is that no matter what mining
I do in the future,

Dave's not gonna be
a part of that.

You know, 13 or 14 years
I've been mining,

I do have to say,
this was the funnest time
I've ever had.

Dave is a mentor.

Dave means a lot to me.

I mean, for him to give his
time up and,

you know, show us what to do
means a lot to me.

Kind of like
a father figure.

It's all I got.

All good things
come to an end.

- [Nathan] Yes, sir.
- Had a great time.

- Love you guys.
- [Nathan] Love you, man.

[Dave] Love you.

[Paul] Thirteen years
after first stepping foot

on a gold mine...

We're gonna get
you down there.

You got some work to do.

[Paul] ...Dozer Dave has gone
from a skilled operator.

[Dave] Say a prayer.

[Paul] To master prospector...

Boom! Oh, my [bleep].

That's a hell
of a nugget right there.

[Paul]
And successful mine boss.

It's way over
$1 million season.

[cheering]

[Dave] This might be the end
of my gold mining career.

It's okay.

Well, this is it.

Closing the gate.

I'm done mining here.

But mining is in my blood.

Don't know what's next.

We'll see what happens.
