00:00Over 15 years, the miners of Gold Rush have discovered gold all over the world.
00:09There's some gold right there.
00:12Now, I'm the ultimate guide to where to find gold.
00:16Here we go.
00:17Every gold miner's looking for stuff like this.
00:21Oh, my God.
00:23The miners follow a trail from the Earth's core.
00:31I think the gold's over there.
00:33To the ocean floor.
00:35There's a shock above us. Oh, it's coming right at me.
00:39From Papua New Guinea's fiery volcanoes to the alluvial plains of the Klondike,
00:47we reveal where the gold is.
00:50Well, let's see what we're going to find down here.
00:53Boom! Look at that.
00:54How it got there.
00:56Telling you, Dustin, that's where the gold's at.
00:59And how to find it.
01:01People searched their whole life for this.
01:13Fire it up.
01:18Woo!
01:20Here we go.
01:21In the Yukon, for six short months, the hunt for gold is a frenzy to strike it rich.
01:30Let's get that gold!
01:31But this rare, precious metal has been mined for over 6,000 years.
01:39Have a look at the size of that, mate.
01:41Jeez.
01:42And in that time, more than 170,000 tons has been discovered.
01:49Yee-haw!
01:49Yeah!
01:51It's the backbone of the world's economy, and is used in nearly every piece of modern technology.
01:58But its journey to your phone began billions of years ago.
02:06The Earth's gold formed when a gigantic star exploded.
02:12Four and a half billion years ago, dust and debris of the dead star combined together to form the Earth.
02:20With molten minerals, iron and gold at its core.
02:25This hot liquid is known as magma.
02:29When molten magma is ejected through volcanoes, it cools and hardens into veins of quartz and gold, known as mother
02:40loads.
02:41These are the source of gold, and are found worldwide.
02:45Over time, glaciers, rain, and rivers erode these veins, carrying gold down the mountains and into valleys below.
02:57Depositing it as it travels, until rivers finally carry any remaining gold out to sea.
03:06Hey, let's get some gold!
03:12There's still an estimated 50,000 tons left to be found.
03:17But the hunt to find it is anything but easy.
03:27Wow!
03:28All right, well, shall we go hike a volcano?
03:30In 2019, Parker Schnabel goes looking for gold at its source on the slopes of an active volcano, Mount Tverver,
03:41in Papua New Guinea.
03:43Yeah, it's good to figure out what's going on around here.
03:45Basically looking for any excuse for climbing an active volcano.
03:48Oh, yeah.
03:51Every year, this remote island nation produces over $2.6 billion worth of gold.
04:02Holy...
04:03Holy cow!
04:04Holy cow!
04:04Ho-ho-ho-ho!
04:05Look at that!
04:07This is awesome!
04:09I hope you've got your, like, learning cap on.
04:15Papua New Guinea is located in a region known as the Ring of Fire, and has more than 60 volcanoes,
04:23the most in the southwest Pacific.
04:27When tectonic plates covering the Earth's surface collide, earthquakes force mineral-rich magma up through the Earth's crust.
04:38The magma crystallizes, becoming a silica-rich fluid that pushes through cracks and forms veins of quartz and gold.
04:49Mining these is known as hard rock mining.
04:55Wow!
04:57Oh, my God!
04:58It's huge!
05:00Three years later, still searching for a mother load, Parker and his team travel to the other side of the
05:08Ring of Fire, to La Rinconada in Peru.
05:14Located over 16,700 feet above sea level, this remote mining town produces almost 80,000 ounces of gold a
05:24year, worth more than $260 million.
05:34Hola!
05:35Que tal?
05:35Buenos dias!
05:36Oh, are we here?
05:43It's definitely something out of another world.
05:47All right.
05:49Here we go.
05:51Tunnel shafts are dug a mile into the mountain, where the crew search for the mother load veins.
05:58Es esta la vena.
06:00Es esta la vena.
06:01Es esta la vena.
06:01Es esta la vena.
06:02La vena.
06:02La vena.
06:03Es esta la vena.
06:03La vena.
06:04Es mineral, que contiene oro.
06:06Vamos a...
06:07Sí, dile.
06:08Sí.
06:08La idea es reventar eso.
06:10La vamos a reventar.
06:11La idea es to detonate this one.
06:16To remove a five-foot square area of gold-rich ore, the crew drill a network of 12 holes, four
06:25feet
06:25into the rock.
06:28Each hole is then filled with 190 pounds of dynamite.
06:38Now we're going to load the hole.
06:40We're going to blow it up.
06:42Yeah.
06:43And when you push, it has to be very careful.
06:48Yeah, your first mistake is your last mistake.
06:52Boom.
06:53Máximo tres minutos.
06:54Three minutes to get out of the front door?
06:56Yeah.
07:00You ready, Dan?
07:01I'm ready, man.
07:03This seems so wrong with the lighter.
07:06Listo.
07:07Fuego, fuego.
07:08What the ****?
07:08Vamos nosotros, vamos.
07:09Vamos, vamos, vamos.
07:10Let's go.
07:11Vamos, vamos, vamos.
07:12Fuego, fuego.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:16We should...
07:24That was not that long.
07:27We literally just got here.
07:29That does not feel like it's a very long way away.
07:35Once all 12 explosions detonate...
07:42the **** out that one.
07:44The crew retrieve the blasted ore.
07:48This is like the veins that they're looking for.
07:50That's what they'll take and crush up and get gold out of.
07:54There it is.
07:55Let's have a look.
07:57One there and one there.
08:00Very cool.
08:02Awesome.
08:02Because you are new to this mine, you need to carry your ore.
08:12That was gold, dude.
08:16After the ore is crushed and processed, the crew are left with pure gold.
08:22Oh, look.
08:23Whoa.
08:25I'm not sure I can do it as a business, but, like, that was an experience like none other.
08:31Almost 17,000 feet, unventilated mine site, all by hand.
08:36Yeah, I think the most hardcore people we've ever met.
08:39Yeah, I reckon.
08:44Still to come...
08:45The claim starts right here.
08:48The crew find gold as it journeys away from the motherlode.
08:53The big gold that we're looking for is going to be up one of these tributaries.
08:58That's it!
08:59What?
08:59I got some gold!
09:07Holy...
09:08Holy cow.
09:09On this guide to finding gold, we've followed its journey from the Earth's core to quartz veins deep inside mountains.
09:20Your first mistake is your last mistake.
09:23Boom.
09:25If miners can't access the gold-rich veins, they must follow gold's journey as it travels away from the motherlode.
09:35And the closer you are to the source, the richer the ground should be.
09:48Tell me again where we're going.
09:50A place called Keno City.
09:53In 2018, Rick Ness searches for a fortune in gold, high up in the Yukon Mountains.
10:04I did okay last year, and it was all right.
10:07And, like, that's just not good enough for me, you know what I mean?
10:11Like, I want something better than okay.
10:14He's on the hunt for the region's legendary big nuggets.
10:20Howdy fellas.
10:21Hi there.
10:23Interesting place you got here.
10:26It's beautiful, that's for sure.
10:27Yeah.
10:28The claims on Rick's potential new mine site lay close to a massive motherlode.
10:36Well, basically, Mount Hinton is the mountain at the very tops of our claims.
10:40Yeah.
10:41And it's a known gold source for this entire area.
10:45Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a giant glacier eroded Mount Hinton's exposed gold veins,
10:53plucking up debris and large gold nuggets.
10:58The ice sheet bulldozed down the mountain, carrying the gold with it.
11:06When the ice melted, it deposited pockets of coarse gold in the valley below.
11:15Wow.
11:17Holy .
11:18No way.
11:21What the hell?
11:22Holy .
11:24Any geologist will tell you by looking at some of that, that we're not very far from the source.
11:28Some of it might not have moved 50 feet.
11:31Each of these nuggets is worth upwards of $20,000.
11:37This is just part of our collection.
11:39They're probably twice as good when you get down there.
11:42No, that's, that's, that's...
11:44I wasn't expecting this.
11:45I wasn't either.
11:46It's like finding that in a sluice box like that'll drive a guy nuts.
11:50So now that you've got my interest.
11:56Let's find some nuggets.
11:58In the hopes of catching Mount Hinton's nuggets, Rick sets up what's called a placer mining operation.
12:06Let's go!
12:08Woo!
12:09First, he must dig out the glacial deposit of gold-bearing dirt.
12:16We're making money.
12:18We are making money.
12:20Then, use a wash plant and water to separate the heavier gold from the waste dirt.
12:28I'm a little bit happy.
12:37Just shut her down.
12:43What do you think?
12:44It looks really good.
12:47Oh.
12:47My.
12:48God.
12:49Look at this, it's sitting this loose.
12:52Holy , dude.
12:53I can't believe that, dude.
12:55Wow, look it.
12:57That's the heaviest nugget I've ever felt.
12:59People search their whole life for this type of material.
13:03Big smile on your face.
13:05No, you don't even know.
13:06You don't even, this is like, what dreams are men of?
13:09What?
13:10I know.
13:11Holy .
13:12Yeah.
13:14Christmas came early.
13:16That's like an ounce right there.
13:18That's a beauty.
13:19Like, that's worth some serious money.
13:23This here is one of the reasons I'm here.
13:24It's coming from right there, Mount Hinton.
13:28That's the source of all this big gold.
13:30As far as I know, that's bigger than anything Parker or Tony has pulled out of the ground.
13:35I'm here to hunt for these, and that's the first of many.
13:46The awesome power of glaciers played a crucial role in the distribution of gold across the legendary Yukon territories and
13:57beyond.
14:06Boulders are freaking huge.
14:08In 2016, a Huffman crew are trying to find their own glacial deposits of gold in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
14:18I've never really begun to see boulders this size.
14:22The Huffman's claim is littered with huge boulders.
14:30I got one down here that's even bigger than that.
14:38Big rocks can mean bigger and more gold.
14:41It's a good sign.
14:42But at the same time, those big-ass rocks slow us way down.
14:48Thousands of years ago, a massive glacier deposited these monster boulders and gold-rich dirt across the claim.
14:58Then, meltwater washed down dirt and gold, leaving behind valuable pockets of gold under the boulders.
15:10Come on.
15:12Come on.
15:13Come on.
15:16Before they can get to the gold, the crew have to clear the boulders.
15:31Whoa!
15:32Look out!
15:34Whoa!
15:36Whoa!
15:37Whoa!
15:37Whoa!
15:39Well, at this point, Todd, I am frustrated with this.
15:41I cannot get these boulders out.
15:43You want...
15:44What do you want to do, Freddy?
15:45I mean...
15:48Fireworks.
15:49Make big rocks into small rocks.
15:53Yeah.
15:53Let's frickin' blow them up.
15:59Freddy calls in master blaster, Mark Mayer.
16:04I love my job.
16:07Where else in the world do you get to go blow things up on somebody else's property, make a mess,
16:13and let them clean it up?
16:14To blast a 20,000-pound boulder, Mark will use a stick and a half of dynamite.
16:22The energy equivalent of this is on the order of about 100 million horsepower.
16:29Finish her up with sand.
16:31That'll do.
16:31Let's go.
16:33Let's get out of here.
16:38The detonator box is wired and ready to fire.
16:4610, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
16:56Blasting.
16:56Fire in the hole!
16:571, 2, 1, 2, 1.
17:02In the playbook on where to find gold, the Huffmans are chasing glacial gold deposits trapped under monster boulders.
17:12Fire in the hole!
17:14Fire in the hole.
17:16Fire in the hole!
17:22Cry by boulders!
17:23You kinda love blasting, you know?
17:25Mark, kick ass, man!
17:29No more big boulders.
17:32That'll work, that I can move!
17:34Good job, Mark!
17:35Mark's Pleasure!
17:36Bring it in! And you get the excavator, let's go!
17:43That's all I needed, just a little bit of help.
17:47Because it is loaded with gold.
17:51The pockets of gold found underneath the glacial boulders
17:56deliver the Hoffmans their best haul of the season.
18:01105.2.
18:02Whoa!
18:04Proving that big boulders really can mean big gold.
18:09That's a hell of a lot of gold in a short period of time.
18:12This is just fantastic, aren't I?
18:14I love it.
18:19Glaciers are nature's conveyors,
18:22slowly moving gold from the motherlode down the mountain.
18:28But when these enormous bodies of ice melt,
18:31they turn into fast-flowing creeks
18:34that can rapidly carry gold on the next leg of its journey.
18:48Raging whitewater creeks are some of the most inaccessible
18:52and dangerous places to hunt for gold in the world.
18:57Holy cow!
18:59And it takes a special breed of miner to take them on.
19:04Whoa, whoa, whoa!
19:06Get off!
19:07Get off!
19:07Ah!
19:08This is dangerous!
19:15So, there's four claims that I'd like to go look at right now.
19:19They're over the top of the mountains, zero access, middle of nowhere.
19:22It's pretty steep.
19:23Yeah, it does look steep, but...
19:26It's all there's good gold, isn't it?
19:29Daredevil gold miner Dustin Hurt is searching for gold
19:33in the nugget-rich creeks of Alaska's Chilkat Mountains.
19:39What do you think?
19:40Well, there's a lot of exposed water once you get out of that canyon,
19:44so it's workable.
19:48Gold has been brought down these mountains by slow-moving glaciers.
19:54These then melt, forming fast-flowing creeks
19:58that can erode even more gold from exposed motherlode veins,
20:04rapidly carrying it downstream
20:07and depositing it in plunge pools
20:10at the bottom of waterfalls.
20:13Big gold nuggets can be found sitting on the surface
20:17or just below the river bay.
20:19Now, here's the deal.
20:21You're gonna dredge.
20:22All right.
20:24You're gonna find gold.
20:26Dredge, find gold.
20:28All right, guys.
20:29Going in the water.
20:36Diver Carlos Menor must brave the whitewater
20:39using a hose to suck up pay dirt,
20:43sending it to a floating dredge
20:45where riffles in the sluice runs will catch the gold.
20:51We just gotta keep an eye on the watch
20:53on that one rock right there.
20:54I don't like that.
20:56The more he comes into the weir,
20:58the steeper the wall gets,
20:59the more chance of some of these rocks
21:02falling in on top of him, so...
21:04If they move, I'll get them out of the way.
21:08We do not want to crush the divers.
21:14That looks pretty good.
21:16This is a little bit deeper spot.
21:20Getting a lot of material out, for sure.
21:29Carlos, get out of there.
21:34What's up? Get him!
21:38You all right?
21:39Yeah.
21:40You get clipped?
21:42Yeah, clipped him.
21:44That was a close one, dude.
21:46Good time to double down and check the box, huh?
21:53I'm just curious.
21:54Did he get all the...
21:57Oh, my God!
21:58Carlos!
21:59Carlos!
22:01You ready for this?
22:03Look what you just found, buddy.
22:11Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
22:13Don't fall.
22:13Look at that big, beautiful sucker.
22:17That's at least four ounces, man.
22:19That's the biggest nugget in Gold Rush history right there.
22:22Prized for its rarity and collectability,
22:25this 5.8-ounce nugget is worth more than its weight in gold,
22:31valued at over $25,000.
22:36Holy stinkin' moly, man.
22:39You see the size of that nugget?
22:46These remote mountain plunge pools may still hold thousands of ounces of undiscovered treasures,
22:53but gold's journey doesn't stop there.
22:57When gold-bearing creeks discharge into rivers,
23:02the gold moves further downstream, spreading out into the valleys below.
23:10No matter what has to happen down here, I'm getting gold on Indian River.
23:14Nowhere is there a better example of this than the legendary Klondike in the northwest of Canada.
23:21Here, multiple ancient rivers converge to concentrate gold deposits,
23:27creating one of the richest regions in the world,
23:30where placer crew, like Parker Schnabel and Tony Beetz,
23:35recover thousands of ounces every year.
23:39Keep her going, keep her going!
23:42Woo!
23:42Hold on with it.
23:44I'll take it.
23:46Thousands of years ago, a river flowed through Parker and Tony's claims,
23:51depositing ground-down fine gold on the riverbed.
23:55Over time, this was covered up by organic layers of dirt known as overburden.
24:00Trapping the gold below.
24:03We got loads of dirt to move, and we don't know if I do long as we go.
24:10Recovering tiny flakes of gold buried under thousands of tons of worthless dirt
24:17is no easy task, and crew must read the ground for clues on where to find it.
24:27At the rate we're going, we will not make it.
24:30We don't have the ground that's providing the amount of gold we need to reach our goal.
24:35In 2013, a young Parker is mining an ancient riverbed on Scribner Creek,
24:42a tributary of the Indian River.
24:45But he's struggling to find good gold.
24:53This ground we're on isn't quite doing what we need.
24:59See, the valley comes up this way and then it bends down, makes a big turn in here.
25:04You know, we're mining up on the outside of the turn, but heavy material is deposited on the inside of
25:08the turn.
25:12We could have the best wash plant in the world, but wash plant doesn't make gold.
25:16Good ground does.
25:18When fast-flowing water carrying gold hits the inside bend of a river,
25:25it slows, causing the heavy gold to sink and settle on the creek bed.
25:33We're not very far away from where we're sluicing right now,
25:37but, you know, that small of a distance can make a lot of difference in the gold.
25:42To mine across the creek, Parker will have to abandon the ground he's worked all season.
25:49It's a high-risk plan, and he needs his foreman, Gene Cheeseman, to buy in on his hunch.
25:55I think the gold's over there.
25:59You know, in my honest opinion about it, I think, you know, we need to stick over here.
26:01It's just we need to find some better ground, so...
26:03I think that's fantasy land, Parker.
26:06Yeah, well, we've got to do something, and fantasy land might just be our next cut,
26:10because if there's good gold over there, I'm not afraid to move this whole show over there.
26:14I hope your fantasies come true, then.
26:27This is what I was looking for.
26:30As we reveal the secrets on where to find gold,
26:35Parker Schnabel is on the hunt for a new pay streak.
26:41I'm going to grab a pan and do a test here and see what it looks like.
26:46He's trying to prove his hunch that the inside bend of an ancient river
26:51holds gold that will lead to a monster payday.
27:01Oh, God.
27:09That flake in here is probably the biggest one I've panned out.
27:12I mean, this is promising, though.
27:14It's not too often that you can come over into a completely new area
27:17and within two hours have a bunch of gold in your pan.
27:23Nice little flake popped out.
27:25It's never happened to me before.
27:30All right, Gene, have fun mining with the crew.
27:32I'm picking gold.
27:39Parker decides to move his operation to the inside bend of the river.
27:45This is the first scoop of our 1,000-yard test.
27:47I hope it's lucky.
27:51And it pays out big.
27:5475, 85.
27:58Delivering almost 500 ounces of gold in just four weeks.
28:09The gold mining prodigy shows how reading the lay of the land can lead to a big score.
28:17And it's a skill every miner must have as they track the ancient path of gold.
28:31Let's see if we got it here.
28:41What I'm looking for here is a bench up top where the creek ran at one time.
28:46Thousands of years ago, a glacial river carrying fine gold ran through Rick's claim.
28:53Over time, it eroded the ground, cutting a valley and leaving gold deposits on higher ground known as benches.
29:05Troy Taylor, who's family mined this before I did, they had really good luck up here.
29:10They spent a day mining in this one particular spot and hit 400 houses.
29:15There's no reason that there couldn't be another one of them days up here.
29:18So I am excited about this spot, this area.
29:25Hey, Troy.
29:26Hey, Rick.
29:27How you doing?
29:30I'm definitely on bedrock, but I don't see a whole lot of gravel.
29:35Yeah, it doesn't look too good, eh?
29:37No.
29:39I think we may be just a little too low is where we're mining.
29:42Just over there, there's a nice bedrock channel.
29:45Yeah.
29:45And it's at a higher elevation.
29:47So this is the section you guys did?
29:49Yeah.
29:50This is where we had 450-ounce cleanup.
29:53Yeah.
29:53Follow this as far as you can.
29:55Yeah.
29:56All right, thanks, bud.
30:04Troy showed me exactly where they left off, and the channel that in mine previously is
30:09actually visible.
30:11So I can dig straight down right here.
30:15Looks like it might be big mound of gravel area down there.
30:21So that would be a good sign.
30:23Okay.
30:24It's definitely undisturbed gravel area, that's for sure.
30:36The first and thickest is the worthless overburden.
30:41The second is the rocky material known as gravels.
30:47Finally, the pay layer that sits on top of hard bedrock.
30:52Gold is concentrated between the bottom six inches of gravel and the top six inches of bedrock.
31:01I'm going to grab a pan and take it down the creek with me, see what we got in here.
31:12You're always waiting for that one time you pull a pan and it's just, the whole bottom's covered in gold.
31:18It's never happened yet to me.
31:21There's always that chance.
31:26Hey!
31:27Oh, you got some dirt?
31:30Hey, Buzz.
31:32Might be nice to see some gold in here.
31:43See any colors?
31:48Yeah, look at it.
31:49Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold.
31:52That's awesome.
31:54We're going to need a spot to go for gold.
31:55I think this might be it.
31:58Rick runs the pay dirt from the bench, and it delivers.
32:0562.46.
32:0775.46 ounces.
32:09Yes!
32:11Almost 600 ounces.
32:12Today, worth nearly $1.8 million.
32:18That's a pile of gold, guys.
32:20Nice.
32:20Yeah.
32:21Woo!
32:26From ancient riverbeds, gold's journey continues onwards to its final destination.
32:33Yeah, you know how these kind of problems in the Klondike?
32:35Oh!
32:37It's going to get interesting.
32:39Where crew, searching for a big payday, face their most unexpected environment yet.
32:46There's a shark above us.
32:48Right above us.
32:49Oh, it's coming right at me.
32:58Holy crap.
33:01In 2015, a creature that walked the Earth 20,000 years ago returns to help the Hoffman crew find gold.
33:11All right, no.
33:13Oh!
33:14Jeez.
33:15You know what they say, where there's a mammoth tusk, there's good gold.
33:19Did Jack tell you that?
33:21All the old miners say that.
33:23Really?
33:23Where you start finding mammoth tusk and you can smell that stinky, rotten smell.
33:28You're going to find good gold.
33:28You're going to start finding gold.
33:30Hoping for a monster payday, they put the old-timers' legend to the test.
33:36It's good.
33:37How good?
33:39Whoa!
33:41236 ounces.
33:43The old-timers said where you find mammoth tusk, you find big gold.
33:48And you know what?
33:50They were right.
33:57Come hell out of water.
33:59That's where we're going.
34:01For millions of years, water has transported gold from the high mountains.
34:08So that's your pay zone, right?
34:10Yep.
34:10To lowland valleys.
34:13Well, let's see what we're going to find down here.
34:17And all the way to the coast.
34:23Holy !
34:28In 2013, the Huffman's search for gold on Chapana Beach, Chile.
34:37Where do you want to start?
34:38Down by the water.
34:39Okay.
34:40Let's go.
34:44This will be a good spot to find color if this ocean brought stuff and washed it out,
34:49brought stuff and washed it out.
34:50It'll just tell us if there's color in it, not how much.
34:55Let's have a look at it.
34:56All right.
34:56Let's go.
34:58It's my first time ever panning in the ocean.
35:03What the hell is that?
35:04Jellyfish.
35:06Yeah, you don't have these kind of problems in the Klondike, huh?
35:11Oh!
35:14It's going to get interesting.
35:20One color.
35:21Two colors.
35:23Where?
35:24See it?
35:24Right there.
35:25Oh, yeah, yeah.
35:26Yep.
35:27Right here?
35:27Yeah.
35:28There's two of them there.
35:29Well, now we know it's here, so...
35:32There's gold in the beach.
35:38From the beach, gold comes to its final destination.
35:43Let's go.
35:47We haven't done a lot of prospecting this trip,
35:49so I thought we would do a bit of prospecting in the ocean.
35:51Something you'd ever be interested in?
35:54I mean, under the right circumstances, I suppose I'd be interested in anything.
35:58But the thing is, there's a chance there could potentially be sharks.
36:08Parker Schnabel's quest for gold has brought him to the coast of New Zealand's North Island.
36:18The Coromandel mountain range is historically rich in gold.
36:26Creeks have eroded this gold from quartz veins, discharging it into the Tyrua River.
36:35The waterway quickly hits the coastline, dumping gold on the ocean floor.
36:41All right.
36:43G'day, guys.
36:44How are we?
36:44Riley.
36:45Hello.
36:45How's it?
36:46Good to see you.
36:47Riley.
36:47Parker.
36:48Parker, good to meet you.
36:49Nice to meet you.
36:50There's a rich gold history around here,
36:51and why not go search where people haven't searched before?
37:16All right, Parker, we're going to try to sit down here, okay?
37:22We're going this way.
37:28Down here, there is a huge gold history.
37:31So there is every chance that we're going to be able to put a sample off the bottom of the
37:34ocean floor,
37:35pan it, and there's some gold in it, which would be an incredible thing.
37:41Yeah, what you got, Parker, get your sample?
37:48What's the technique that you try to go deeper into the substrate?
37:52Yeah, a little bit.
37:53It's just, like, a lot of these, like, shell fragments and stuff on the surface.
37:58You know what that is, uh...
38:00It's upside, Danny.
38:01We're just gathering a sample, but you can tell all the fish are getting very interested with the commotion.
38:08Yeah, we've got two large sharks just swimming around here, just off the stern of the boat.
38:12Just keep your eyes open, all right?
38:14Yeah, they can't see s***.
38:19There it is, right there, right in front of him, right bang next to him.
38:25There's a shark, Parker, over to our left.
38:27Holy s***.
38:30There's a shark above us.
38:32Right above us, Parker.
38:37Come on, it's coming right at me.
38:41Oh!
38:44S***.
38:45Help out underneath me, Parker.
38:50Whoa!
38:52All right, let's run out of here before we're going to let's get some fish.
38:57Yeah, let's head back.
38:58Let's go where we can.
39:12Good job, lads.
39:13Well done.
39:16Parker has collected test material from the seabed,
39:21the furthest place possible from gold source in the mountains.
39:26It's gone quite quiet.
39:27Don't, don't even.
39:30All right, here's the moment of truth.
39:34F***.
39:35There it is.
39:36Shut up.
39:37What is there?
39:39There is not, is it?
39:41I guess I've got a big one there.
39:43Are you serious?
39:47Yes, come on, bro.
39:49Golden sharks.
39:50You've got to sell it right there.
39:52That is f***ing wild.
39:54There's like seven or eight pieces there and a bunch over there.
39:58Hang on a minute, I'm shaking.
40:00Unreal.
40:01This is amazing.
40:03What the f***?
40:04That is awesome.
40:06Like, the whole valley was a huge gold mine for hundreds of years.
40:09And that runs out into the very waters that we dove.
40:13But like, is that a good yield?
40:15So if I were on our mine site and I panned that much dirt and got that much gold, I
40:19would
40:19be like, we're going to have a good f***ing week.
40:21Like, that's really good.
40:23Wow.
40:24This is like next level.
40:26This is Indiana Jones.
40:28There's actually gold.
40:30It's quite a bit.
40:32Like, you could work it out to a grade, but it's better than anything that we've ever mined.
40:38Including the 10 ounce an hour mud mountain.
40:42This is one that will go down in the books for me.
40:45Well, you need to keep that spot a secret, right?
40:47Just make sure you film the sign on the way out of town that says no mining in the coromandel.
40:50Yeah.
40:51They keep it pretty safe.
40:52They're pretty passionate about it here.
40:53So, yeah.
40:54Yeah.
40:54I need to assure you that gold will stay in the ocean, and that's probably where it should
40:58be, protected by the sharks.
40:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:04From gold bearing mother load veins.
41:07If we do it wrong, you'll never know.
41:09To ancient riverbeds.
41:11We're washing rocks, baby!
41:14And even on the ocean floor.
41:17That is the weirdest thing I've ever done.
41:19There is still trillions of dollars worth of gold.
41:24To be found.
41:25Woo!
41:27Yeah!
