Ken: maiden voyage.

-We're finally going out!
-Oh, yeah.

Let's see if we can put
some gold in that box.

Hammer down.

Kris: we're heading out today
in a bad-weather situation.

We know where the gold is.
We just have to get there.

We're not leaving
without some gold. Go!

Shawn: there's nothing like this
on the bering sea.

The wash plant is the first
major piece of the mega dredge.

Today is the day
we put it all together.

Here we go.

We'll work the mouth

That is pretty

Get on! Let's go!

Kris: if I die in the ocean,
I'll be happy.

Go, go!

Now I got to work at it.

All right.
We're out of here.

Just left the christine rose,

So now I'm going to go focus
on the wash plant.

By the end of today,
the wash plant should be

Fully assembled.

This is the first major piece

That's coming together.

What's up?

So you can kind of see.

We got to mount the sluice boxes
to the skid plates.

Narrator: the towering

of the mega dredge.

Its sole purpose is to filter
gold out of the sediment

Carved from the ocean floor.

We've got the big red hopper.

We got to get that
mounted up on top,

And then we'll worry
about the rest of it.

To get the wash plant
up and running,

Shawn is creating
four custom-built


Sluice boxes

And attaching a newly
constructed hopper to the top.

When it's done, it'll be
the biggest of its kind

In nome.

Looking good.

One sluice box,
two sluice box.

I need four sluice boxes so
I can push 100 tons per box.

Shawn: to the right.

Narrator:
to put the processing power

Of these four sluice boxes
into perspective...

To the right.
Yep.

...shawn's current dredge,

Uses just one single

Ruby up ahead.

When I planned this trip,
I specifically marked ruby

As the best prospect
for finding gold.

So right up there, ruby.oh, really?

Mm-hmm.do they have showers there?

I don't know.

Narrator: ruby, alaska,
was the site of one of

The biggest gold rushes near
the turn of the 20th century,

And vernon hopes
his modern mining techniques

Will uncover any secrets
this land may have left.

The largest gold nugget
in alaska

Was discovered here in

We'll work the mouth

And see if we can
get some gold.

Yeah.
This might be good.

Yeah. This is gonna be
a big test for the gold ship,

And I'm looking forward
to putting it through its paces.

We're getting ready
to deploy the dredge,

Do a little prospecting.

Some good rocks over there,

Stratified bluff face.

You could tell that material
has washed down

From those bluff faces
and through these little streams

Along here
that flow into the water.

So, you know, fingers crossed,
we're going to give it a shot.

Narrator: ever the innovator,
vernon has just the tool

For a quick
prospecting venture.

Vernon: we just got a small


It's got it's own
flotation system.

I think the whole thing
probably weighs,

I don't know, 120 pounds.

It's just the right size
for what we're doing here.

Narrator:

We're not worried about having
any dive gear on

Or anything else right now.

We just want to get this thing
tested out...

Do a little sucking here,
check out the box,

And see if there's
any gold in it.

It's got material flowing
through the sluice box,

So that's always a good sign.

A kick in the nuts,

But it's a slap in the face.

I'm not out here to live
with the grizzly bears

In harmony with nature
and eat canned foods.

I'm out here to make
a lot of money in gold

And go home a success.

You know, it's been
a battle uphill.

Every day, we've been
battling the seas,

And at least we have
a little bit of gold,

So, you know what?
This is hard-earned gold.

No matter what we got,
we earned it.

Narrator: back in nome...

See what we got.

Narrator: ...while shawn
assembled the wash plant

For the mega dredge,

His crew stayed on the gold
with the christine rose.

Shawn: well, we got 30 hours
on the box.

Doesn't quite look like

We need every little
bit of gold

To keep building
on the mega dredge

If we want to get
that thing done,

So every little bit helps.



This is not looking good.



[ Tapping on pan ]




That's just north of $25,000,

A decent showing for now,
but more will need to roll in

If the mega dredge is going
to hit the water this year.


Not the best cleanup.

We just got to get back out
and do better.

Narrator: across town...

Howdy, boys.
What's going on?

Dave: hey!
We're ready!

You got the gold
cleaned up?

-Huh?
-Yes, we do.

Narrator: captain ken kerr
is back on dry land

After the myrtle irene'sfirst
day of mining for the season.

Feels pretty good.

Basically 20 hours
on the box for this.

Ken: since we started so late,
we got to do good.

Narrator: ken, along with
business partner dave young

And operations manager
george young

Are hoping to kick off
the season with a bang.

We're on a roll to beat
mr. Gold this year.

So let's see what we got.

We should have a bet
on who guesses.

I say 85, 85.


All right.

Okay, you ready for this?

I've been born ready.

George: I think you're
going down, kenny kerr.

This is the kind of bet

Keep going.

Holy cow.

You won.
You got me.

Man, I haven't felt gold
