13x17 - Mammoth Mess

[bunniefuu]

It's a good day to pull pay.

Most of it's on thoughts
or it's nice pulling.

And, uh, after that,
we're onto Golden Acres.

Two-thirds
of the way through
their season,

21-year-old Brady Clayton

and 23-year-old
brother Brandon

are gunning for a big payday

to pull their family
out of crippling debt.

After a series of breakdowns,

they're finally
gaining momentum.

We're going pretty good,
we're in the gauntlet,

and the gold seems
to be getting better.

We got two sides,
so they're a lot of pay there.

And we got some we need
to keep moving forward
to Golden Acres.

Road's being built,
so it's working out good.

The boys have
pulled in 58 ounces so far.

enough to fund their road
to Golden Acres,

virgin ground they're gambling

will deliver
a 500-ounce payday.

It's gonna
be huge for us,
we've tested it,

it contains two ounce
a hundred.

If we have any
fighting chance of paying
that family debt off,

it's gonna be Golden Acre.

So I'm gonna go down
in the 'dozer

and start stripping
Golden Acres
and building a road,

so once the gauntlet's done,
we can start pulling pay,

'cause that's what
we've waited to do all season.

Well, pretty big day
today, fellas.

- Yeah.
- You betcha.

Breaking ground
in Golden Acres, finally.

We've been working
for this all season.

Yeah, I'm excited.
All hands on deck today.
Let's start stripping away.

Yeah, sounds good to me.

- Let's do it.
- Good job, fellas.

Onto Golden Acres,
man, this is a big moment.

[bleep] yeah,
you're right, buddy.

It's all in my name,
I can tell you that.

It's a good day,
long time coming!

With just a third
of the season left,

the crew needs to start
sluicing right away

to have any hope
of hitting their target.

What's the plan?

- Okay, Brady, knock these
trees down right here,
- Yeah.

then pull that ledge in
and give me a slope,

so I can back down and push.

And I'll grab it
with the 'dozer.

Try and get this
whole section here open.

- Okay? Okay.
- Sounds good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, it's time to go
strip some virgin ground.

Yes, sir, I can smell
our pockets getting heavier.

This kind of makes us feel
like we've achieved something
over the year we've had.

As far as I'm concerned,
Golden Acres is just

gonna help our family
out tremendously.

I'm hoping for 500
ounces out of it.

We fought a lot of adversity,
but, you know,
we're still going.

So that's good.

Why am I not
going in reverse now?

What the [bleep]?

Of course,
now that I just spoke,
I got no [bleep] reverse.

Oh, the
is going on now?

Ah, [bleep].

Can never [bleep] win.

Brady, do you have a copy?

Yeah, go ahead.

I need you to come
down to the D8,
can't get it to shift.

Oh, [bleep], okay,
I'll be right there.

The [bleep] did you do?

I don't know what
the [bleep] happened,

it literally just
stopped shifting.

Didn't have reverse.

Now I don't have
a [bleep] forward.

Well, have you checked
the fuses?

It probably won't
be a fuse problem,

but that'd be our
lucky day, of course.

It wouldn't show shifting
on the dash.

Nothing looks burnt, Brady.

Disaster.

Like, what the
is going on? Just our luck.

- Yeah, it [bleep] sucks.
- Never win this year.

Nope.

We're not even mining,
we're just fixing.

Pointless.

We ain't getting 500
at this rate.

So we're just running
tailings at the moment.

And, yeah,
it's going pretty well.

We're just cranking material
to get it up

to the wash plant here
as quick as we can.

It's just a team
effort right now.

With less than
a couple of months left
in the season,

28-year-old Parker Schnabel

is feeling the pressure
to make his new
Alaskan mine pay out.

Running two operations
is definitely a bit
of a struggle.

It's really good that
we've got Mitch and Tyson
over in the Yukon,

and that's given me some time
to spend here in Fairbanks.

You gotta keep your mind
on the future.

And as we run out of ground
on the Yukon,

be nice to know where
we're going next

After months of delay,

Parker's Alaskan crew
is finally on the gold,

banking 14 ounces

from easy-to-mine
old timer tailings

in the drift cut.

It looks like
the drift tailings will
be worthwhile running,

but kinda just barely.

Really, what we're here
for is the good ground
that Liam drilled.

By the square foot, it's like
five times better than what
we're mining in the Yukon.

On the other side
of the claim,

Parker is chasing a pay streak
in the four-acre wolf cut,

which he hopes will deliver

1,000 ounces this season.

If we can get
a nice-sized pit down,

the gold should
be really good.

Kinda late
in the year, so gotta
get going on this.

To get to pay dirt
30 feet down,

the crew must haul out

100,000 yards of overburden.

So we'll take, like, four more
feet off this and get us down
to water level,

and then it's like 30 feet
to bedrock from there.

We want to sluice
the bottom six.

Working right next
to this pond,

water's gonna be the number
one problem in here.

The perfect situation
is partially frozen mud,

because it, um,
keeps the water out.

I'll do whatever it takes
to get everyone
some gold here.

New recruit
Michael Bodri

spent his childhood working
on his parents' farm.

Growing up, uh,
having cerebral palsy,

uh, there'd be a lot
of people, uh, say,
you know,

"Oh, you shouldn't do that,"
and, uh, what I'm trying,

I never liked, uh,
anyone else's words
define me.

This cut's getting muddy.

The biggest thing is just
trying to keep from
getting stuck,

like, I can't sit in one spot
for very long,

uh, kinda like I am now

before the track
starts sinking away.

Kinda like dealing
with, uh, um,

a bad custard.

Hey, Parker, you got a copy?

Yeah, what's up?

- This cut's
getting pretty wet.
- I'll, I'll come over there.

[bleep] things

The more area we open up,
the worse the mud gets,

and we haven't even gotten,
like, a fifth of the cutout.

The wolf cut sits
alongside an old dredge pond

with just a narrow berm
separating the two.

As the crew dig down,

they expose frozen permafrost

holding back the water.

Now it's thawing,
allowing the pond water

to seep through the berm
and flood the cut.

There's gonna
be a lot of water soon.

Yeah, the best thing to do
is get a sump in there.

Yeah, I'll give it a try.

We'll put up pumps
sitting right there, right?

With the discharge
going up there?

- Yup.
- Perfect.

Parker's plan
to conquer the water,

dig a sump pond
at the deepest point
in the cut...

And hopefully we'll
have a deep enough hole here

pretty quick where all
the water can collect.

...and install
an eight-inch pump
to drain it.

- Can you get at it?
- Yeah.

It's really cool
to see Parker being hands-on

and wanting to get this cut,
uh, opened up as about
as the rest of us.

There you go.

Now, all that's left to do...

- Thanks, Mike.
- I'll see
you tomorrow.

...is wait.

Ohhh.

Where's our pump?

I stayed out late last night
'cause we, like,

had in our pump
and everything was
going very good,

and then the pump
stopped pumping

and we have a lake
instead of a cut now.

Overnight,
the pump system failed,

flooding the cut
and submerging the pump

under four feet of water.

Yeah, [bleep] us.

We just put half
a million dollars into this.

Probably have better odds
going to Vegas
with all the money.

Tony Beets,

do you copy, Tony Beets,
do you copy?

Two-thirds
of the way into his season,

Klondike Kingpin Tony Beets

is still 2,500 ounces short

of his 5,000-ounce target.

Tony has mined out
the last fog pay dirt

in the nine-acre Cold Cut.

He's down to the final
scraps of pay

in the seven-acre Blue Cut...

...and has drained
the Eighty Pup Cut...

...to chase gold-rich
White Channel pay...

Which should deliver
2,000 ounces of gold.

While the trommel runs
the last of the Blue Cut...

...Tony heads back
to the Eighty Pup Cut

to locate the White Channel
pay streak.

Uh, yeah?

This season,
Tony has put
youngest son Mike

in charge of the cuts.

Mike has convinced Tony

to return to the Eighty Pup.

Lot of pay there, eh?

Eh, it's what you pay me for.

Oh, I've been
doing a good job, Dad!

The Beets now face
a race against time

to expose the White
Channel pay dirt

before they run out
of Blue Cut pay.

Ooh.

Two months ago...

A gold mine
in northwest Canada

has stumbled upon
an incredible,

as well as unexpected find,

a mummified
baby woolly mammoth,

thought to be more than
30,000 years old.

The discovery in Yukon's
Klondike gold fields

is the first near-complete
and well-preserved
woolly mammoth found

in North America.

The baby mammoth
was unearthed

just 40 miles
from Paradise Hill,

and isn't the area's first
groundbreaking discovery.

Sure do.

Hmm. Interesting.

- Wow.
- Holy [bleep].

- Yeah.
- I think so.

- Needs some polish
right there, too.
- Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'm always the one
on a piece of equipment.

That's 'cause
you're the best.

Not too close,
not too close.

- Hey, Dad!
- One sec.

Let's see.

I think you might
be right on that.

That's another [bleep],
might even be in there.

I think that's
probably a smarter idea.

You might have a whole
skull in there

if you're pulling out
pieces like that.

I think you should
definitely call them.

And especially
coming off, like,

them finding that
baby mammoth.

Nothing else besides it's good
for the scientific community.

And [bleep] like this,
you don't find all the time.

Mmm-hmm.

Yup.

Tony must now
stop all mining
in the Eighty Pup Cut,

to bring in a team
of paleontologists

to examine
and remove the tusk.

His plan to stockpile
White Channel pay

before they run out
of Blue Cut pay dirt

is at a standstill.

Don't know
what it is yet,
but it's not looking good.

The linchpin of the Clayton
brothers' operation,

the D8 'dozer, is down.

We need to get it fixed
or we're [bleep].

Their dream
of hitting it big
in Golden Acres

is turning into a nightmare.

Been sitting here
and [bleep] with it all day,

and I don't know if I'm
gonna get anywhere.

So we just need to get it
out of this [bleep] hole,

and get it up to a place where
we can actually work on it.

I'm gonna go talk to Fred,
see if we can get another
piece of machine

to help get it out of here,
'cause I can't pull it
with my hoe.

Hi, neighbors.

Uh, I came over 'cause I...
my 'dozer's stuck.

- Oh, [bleep].
- It's dead.

Where is it stuck?

Uh, way down in Golden Acres.

- Ohhh.
- Yeah, it's a ways
down there.

So I'm just wondering
if you guys would
be able to help me

use, uh, I can use
a 'dozer or something.

All right, well, have it
over there pretty soon.

Yeah, I just have
to warm it up, man,

- I'll come right over.
- Yeah? You'd do that?

Okay, sounds good.

Buzz puts
his work on hold

to drive a mile down the creek

and rescue
the stricken 'dozer.

Somebody call
for a tow truck?

Yeah.
A big one, yeah.

That's one
rough road, man.

Yeah, man, it's not ideal.

So, obviously we're in
a [bleep] hole here of muck.

I think Brady will just grab
my blade and give me a turn,

and if you can get behind me

- and just try and push me.
- Yeah.

And then we'll try
and get it out of here.

Brady can kind of steer me
when we have to.

There's only a small berm
in the creek
for holding it in.

And Fred's 'dozer
is pretty big, so,

don't wanna take
that berm out,

knock the water into the cut

and completely
the cut.

We'll see how she goes.

Just got 1.5k to go,
so let's get it out of here.

Brandon's plan,

harness the power
of Fred's D355 'dozer

to push the dead D8
clear of Golden Acres'
thick mud,

then carefully steer it
through the Narrow
Gauntlet cut,

back to his laydown yard,

nearly a mile upstream.

All right,
let's get in position.

Brady, go ahead, just try
and grab my corner.

All right.

horsepower mode, baby.

Okay, Buzz, you're ready
to come give me a push.

Steer it, just, uh, let him
know how close he is.

You guys, you got
about ten feet.

Are you sure your 'dozer's
not, uh, too small
for this job, Buzz?

I don't think that
has, uh,

power to push me.

Hell, man.

My blade is two-thirds
the size of that thing
you got there.

And you're on.

Nice and easy, boys,
nice and easy.

That's what I like to see.

Might've actually only
did the easy part now.

We gotta drop down in
into the Gauntlet Cut that's

currently wet, muddy,
and slippery as [bleep],

so, I mean, this is where
it's gonna get difficult.

The combined crew
must now navigate the 97 ton
dozer train

along a 15ft wide dirt road
through the Gauntlet Cut.

Hey, just be aware
that on the left side
of this ground

there's a decent hole,

so try to stay
on the far right side.

Try not to slip
into that [bleep].

The blade on the Komatsu
is 14ft wide,

leaving just
a 1ft margin for error.

If they hit the berm
they could unleash the creek
and flood Golden Acres.

I mean, one wrong move,

this berm is so fragile
that they got going on
right here,

and it'll definitely
set them back.

I don't know
if this even a good idea.

If Clayton
flooded his whole cut
that'd really suck.

We'll have to really watch
what we're doing.

You're [bleep] sliding off.
Hang on, hang on.
Whoa, Buzz!

Whoa!

At California Creek,

Fred Lewis' crew are rescuing

the Clayton brother's
broken down Dozer.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, Buzz!

Whoa!

I don't want
to hit the wall of his cut.

For a second
I thought I was going
to cut that berm out,

and that would have been
a disaster.

All right,
you getting about
an inch away

because it's, like,
running right towards
the walls.

Brandon,
you think maybe next time

you could make it
a little more challenging?

Yeah,
I thought it was challenging
to begin with.

Definitely the right equipment
for the job.

We're on the final stretch.

Almost to a better place
that we can work on it,

hopefully
figure this [bleep] thing out.

Okay, Buzz, that's perfect.
That where we'll leave her.
Thank you, neighbor.

Always good
to help your friends,
your neighbors out.

- Appreciate it.
- Thank you.

- Good job, man.
- Yeah, [bleep] awesome.
Appreciate it.

Brady
and crew member Warren

rush to get back running
Gauntlet Cut pay.

Glad we got the D8 out.
A lot of overburden
to still push.

Got it parked over here.

It's a better place

for me to work on it,
for sure.

Get this thing running again, hopefully.

Family mechanic Shane Colliou
troubleshoots the D8.

If Shane
can't figure this out,
you know, I don't know.

This could be it.

I've pulled
a few connectors apart

just to make sure
everything's good inside,

but I haven't had
any luck yet.

I was able to rip her off
and all the lines
and pins out,

and everything's good there.

Sounds like
we're gonna be pulling
the transmission out again.

Oh, my [bleep].

At the start of this season,

the Claytons gambled $50,000
on a refurbished transmission

to get their D8 Dozer
up and running.

Ta-da.

We got to be
very delicate though.

We definitely
don't want to get it dirty
or break the housing.

Fit. She's there.

It's home.

Now they have to
take the one ton transmission
out again.

I wonder if we can pull it?

Yeah, it's moving pretty good.

She's out. Okay.

See if we can see anything.

Well,
hard to see anything in here,

but it doesn't look good
with the
that's in there.

Part of our problem,
I'm thinking.

That should be threaded
all the way to the end.

- That should hold that pin
in here in place.
- Oh, wow.

- It doesn't even
thread in, Shane.
- Yeah.

Yeah, so I imagine
the threads are

on the pinion gear inside
as well.

Shane's found a loose bolt
that's lost its threading.

Inside the transmission,

this bolt holds
the main pinion gear
tight in its bearing

allowing it to engage
all the other gears.

When dirt gets into
the transmission

it acts like sandpaper
rubbing the bolt smooth.

With nothing
holding it in place,

the pinion gear
could have caused
huge internal damage.

I think
it's gonna have to go home.

- It's gonna have to go home?
- Get opened up and torn apart,
see what we can find in there,

if there's anything
more severe, I guess.

Well, that [bleep] sucks.

Basically a season changer.

We don't even have
Golden Acres stripped yet

so I don't know
what the
we're gonna do.

Once we run out of pay
at the Gauntlet

that could be the season
at this point.

Running these drift tailings
is all great,

but I'm not up here
to run drift tailings.

I want to see
what's at the bottom
of that Wolf Cut.

At Parker's Alaskan mine,

the greenhorn crew are chasing
a quick score

running old-timer tailings
to bankroll the deep Wolf Cut.

But flooding
has forced them to shut down

before they've even
hit paydirt.

That's [bleep] kind of water.

The pump was, like,
completely underwater

and I couldn't get out to it
to walk to it.

Got a little kayak over here,

paddled out there
with a chain on the excavator,

and get it up on dry ground
so we could work on it.

It must have shut off
or the silk got in there
and clogged it up.

Foreman Mark Forrs
thinks the suction filter
at the end of the hose

became blocked with debris,

causing
the water level to rise
and submerge the engine.

In an attempt
to get it running again,

he's taken it
completely apart.

She's all dried out.

The next step
is get that big basket
in there.

It was kind of
buried in the brush.

This is kind of a gift
from the old timers.

To prevent the pump
from clogging up again,
should it fire up,

Mark plans to bush fix
an extra filter
for the suction hose.

We're gonna weld
this old trommel screen

on the top of this thing
so we have a lid

so sticks and debris
can't get into our pump.

With the customized filter underway,

Mark comes with a plan

to stop this
from happening again.

Hopefully this bed
of old pontoons will float it,

in case it does flood again,

and we don't have
to worry about it.

I think it'll work.

- Have you drained the fuel?
- I drained everything.

Well, I took
all the fuel lines off, turbo,
I took the manifold off.

- You are a mechanic.
Look at that.
- Well, I mean,

I did everything
but rebuild it,
so hopefully it lasts.

To have any hope
of getting down
to Wolf Cut paydirt...

Let's get the pump
back in the spot
it needs to be.

Mark's
bush fixed floating pump
needs to work.

I think this will take care
of our water problem.

Hey, hey, look at that.

Ready to fire it up.

Is it pumping?

Yeah, it's pumping.

Pump back in service.

Good job.

We definitely have
to keep an eye on it tonight.

Hopefully we can
get our cut dried out
and get back at it.

Cut's looking really good
this morning,

and I've been kind of
keeping an eye on it
all night.

So, yeah,
we're all up and running here.

At Cleary Creek,

Mark Forrs' bush fixed pump
has successfully drained
the flooded Wolf Cut.

Feels good.

We got it down to a point
where we can actually

get something done
in here again.

It feels good
to finally get back
into the Wolf Cut

so we get down
to that fresh virgin pay here.

Yep, I can almost smell it
and I can't wait to see
what it looks like.

Smell?
What does gold smell like?

If you've never smelled
drying gold

you're missing out.

There's not much time here
this season

for learning the ropes,

but, you know,
I think this crew's great

and getting the job done.

Two days ago,

Tony Beets was forced
to shut down

the newly opened
Eighty Pup Cut

after finding mammoth remains
buried in the bank.

Oh, I've never seen a tusk
quite like that before.

It looks quite cool, actually.

Now,
a team of paleontologists
have arrived to investigate

and determine
if there are any more
mammoth remains in the area.

This is one of the few sites

where we've gotten mammoth
mummified remains

so it's pretty exciting.

It's nice that we can
slowly expose it in situ

and it tells us a lot more.

We'll have to clear away
some of that material
to get a better sense.

Hopefully there's
a skull in there
but it's hard to say.

Until the excavation
is finished,

Tony's relying
on the last scraps of paydirt
from the Blue Cut

to keep the trommel fed.

We actually have
a lot of people in here.

Tony is loading trucks,
Mikey Beets is on the dozer,

and we're finally getting
the last bit of this pay
out of the Blue Cut.

Then it'll be all done
for the season.

Go ahead.

Well, that's it.
This is the last bucket
coming out of the Blue Cut.

The two biggest cuts
on Paradise Hill,

the Cold Cut and the Blue Cut,

are now cleaned out.

Until they can get back
into the Eighty Pup,

the pay pile
is all they've got
to keep the plant running.

You don't chew
through your stock pile
unless you're desperate.

We've [bleep] got to go back
to that Eighty Pup Cut.

We want to put it down
right here?

We followed
the rest of the tusk
to the back

and found the end of it.

It's just not attached
to the skull.

- Okay.
- 295.

295.

And that is... It's 53.

Based on the length,
and also the circumference,
we know that it's a male.

Probably 30 years old.

The team haven't found
mummified remains this time,

but they've unearthed
a 10ft long tusk

belonging to
a magnificent beast

that roamed Paradise Hill
over 30,000 years ago.

It's a good candidate
for further analysis.

We don't often find
a lot of big mammoth pieces.

There's Tony.

We were able to extract
this nearly complete tusk
from the section.

We found part of a skull
but it's not attached,

so you can start mining again.

Yeah.

Just hours before
he runs out of pay,

Tony can finally get back
to the Eighty Pup Cut.

- Is it John?
- Yeah,
that's John Reeves.

Okay, let's just make sure
we're doing everything
very well

so he doesn't have
anything to complain about.

- How you doing?
- Good.
How you guys going?

Real good.

Parker's Alaskan landlord,
John Reeves,

checks in on the crew
as they clean up
the old timer's tailings.

Just came out
to say hi to Tyler.

We like to visit everybody,
see how they're doing.

Any pickers?

Normally, there's some, like,
when I start scraping
that top bit.

I can already see
lots of color up there.

Parker's really gonna
be surprised

when he gets into
the virgin ground.

This is the richest creek
in the state.

He's ready for it.
He's ready for the big time.

- Tough week, dozer down.
- Dozer down, man.

- I thought that would be
the last thing to break down.
- Right.

This week,

the Clayton brothers realize
their season dream

of reaching Golden Acres,

the promised land
that marks the end
of hand-to-mouth mining

and means
they finally turn a profit.

But their broken D8 dozer
put them back
to square one.

Well, that's a pretty big hit.

We were finally getting
steps ahead,

but now kind of set us back.

- Yeah,
just another breakdown, man.
- Yeah.

Aside from the dozer going
to the [bleep] graveyard,

I think we had
a pretty good week

- sluicing, man.
- Yeah.

It was pretty steady,
so, you know,

I have
pretty high expectations

for this goal weight,
to be honest.

Then we need
to be able to pay for
that [bleep] repair.

The Claytons
ran Gauntlet paydirt all week.

So far,
it's delivered 20 ounces.

Okay, here we go.

10, 12, 14, 15, 19...

21.

- Holy [bleep].
- Pretty good.

21.9.

That Gauntlet's
actually paying out
pretty good, man.

Worth over $37,000,
their biggest gold haul
of the season.

- I mean,
that's a decent amount of gold
- Yeah.

- to come out when
we had to deal with this week.
- Yeah.

That's not bad.

The brother's total
now stands at 80 ounces.

But, with winter
fast approaching,

it's a long way
from their 500 ounce goal.

It's gonna be pretty hard
to get to 500 with a dozer.

Yeah, I have zero solution
to that right now.

Shane's on his way
back to Alberta

with the transmission
in his truck,

but without a miracle

that dozer's
probably not with us
for the rest of the season,

so we're gonna
have to figure something out
on how to keep going.

We'll figure it out.
We've been through before.

I mean, we still got
a bunch of pay
in the Gauntlet.

It's ready to pull,
so we might as well
go full force in that

- until we figure out
what to do.
- Mmm-hmm.

- Totally agree.
- Yeah, let's do it, guys.

- Okay, awesome.
- Let's get back to business.

That face though
once he sees you, you know?

At Paradise Hill...

- How are you all?
- Present.

It's been a mammoth week.

That fossil we found
was actually pretty cool.

- That was a nice find.
- Honestly,
most of the time

I enjoy finding that stuff
more than gold.

I see gold
every [bleep] day.

You think so, yes.

Yeah, and it's got
that nice white channel.

Makes sense.

It's time to weigh up
the last of the gold

from the Blue Cut.

We did sluice the full way
so let's have a look.

Three, two, one, let's go.

20, 40, 60, 80.

To reach
his 5,000 ounce season goal,

Tony's gunning
for 350 ounces a week.

180, 200, 220, 240.

300, 323 point nothing.

Worth over
half a million dollars...

Yeah.

Yep.

Whatever.

Okay.

Okay.

Cheers.

- Oh.

- Cheers.
- The ring bump.

- What's up, guys?
- Parker, how's it going?

So, what did we get last time?

13.85 is where
we're sitting right now.

So far,
Parker's Alaskan venture
has brought in just $23,000.

After 15 days
running drift tailings,

he expects to see
over 150 ounces of gold.

- All right.
- Let's do it.

This is in grams.

- Do you have your calculator?
- Yeah.

3,000 grams almost.

Okay, so the total
is 94.4 ounces.

Worth $160,000.

- So, paying the bills.
- Okay.

Or some of them.

Parker's Alaskan total
now stands at 108 ounces.

He needs nearly 10 times that
to hit his 1,000 ounce
Alaskan goal.

Well, we'll just hope
the Wolf Cut then

- makes up for it.
- Yeah, exactly.

We'll probably
just start focusing
on the Cut

and not do anymore tailings
for the time being.

Like,
they're not going anywhere.

It'd be really nice
to know what's in the hole.

- Try and get some real money
for the season.
- Yeah, exactly.

That's the next challenge.

- Some nuggets.
- Yep.

We'll get there,
one way or another.

Cheers, cheers, cheers,
cheers, cheers.

- All right, thanks guys.
- Thank you.

- Let's go get some dinner.
- Sounds good.

A bit of
a disappointing result,
really, for me, you know,

to do that kind of gold
in 200 hours.

Like, in Dawson right now

we're averaging a little over
two ounces an hour,

and that stuff was, like,
0.6 or something

so that's lame.

But I guess that leaves
our hope for the season
on the Wolf Cut.

We'll give it
the old college try.
