00:17morning guys you see how snowy that is man that's not a dusting that's not a dusting that's a snow
00:26cap is it earlier than normal it's way early feels like an early winter the hourglass is ticking
00:35almost five months into their season dustin hurt is running out of time deep in debt with almost
00:43nothing to show for all their investment he needs to find gold and fast
00:52it's not looking good snow's about to hammer us down run us out of here but when you get a
00:57day
00:57like this you gotta take advantage this year it's a financial disaster i made a lot of mistakes
01:11it's not raining for the first time in a while so uh let's take full advantage of this today
01:17and let's get up there and dive as much as we can paul you and james are going down today
01:23yeah
01:25please find bedrock for me i'm begging you man i'm trying man he's killing us
01:34stop stop stop stop stop stop stop oh
01:38which is a bird
01:41i don't know if you're just afraid of being down there i wasn't or there's an actual problem
01:47i wouldn't do anything
01:51that little piece came up from whatever danielle did awesome it's gotta be more we're going into the
01:57midnight shift it's getting dark now that we found bedrock the hunt is strictly for gold
02:22all right look how low it is wow that caved in
02:29i'm gonna have some work for you today look at the blood debris you know what else is probably down
02:36there bedrock bottom uh let's suit up and see what we can do y'all monopolize on this clear water
02:47this year is going to be the make it or break it we have to get a jackpot of some
02:52sort it has to
02:53happen if we don't get a bunch of gold then there's just no way we could do this again
02:59in a season where dustin was banking on a massive payday he now finds himself in a fight to save
03:06his
03:07claim we just dug a 20-foot hole why i mean
03:16we're done with this dig needing at least a hundred thousand dollars in gold
03:22to pay off his mounting debt dustin's crew have staked everything on finding nuggets at the golden
03:29straits no sign of that run whatsoever nothing nothing so no walls no nothing no walls nothing
03:38finally last week a hard part like a greenish looking claim you get into clay after that gold
03:46they had a breakthrough it's very promising if we actually make it to the bottom now 12 feet down
03:52all the signs point to the jackpot they've been dreaming of there's a decent little picture right there
03:58that looks like gold to me the closer we get the bedrock the better it should get
04:04we know there's gold down there this is awesome but a man down i got to travel all the way
04:10to
04:10seattle for injuries i sustained while i was in service and they need to get checked up on
04:17it will be a fight to the bitter end
04:24today is gonna be our day the sun is out the water's beautiful it's low there's no raging water
04:30taking our stuff i love it paul and uh james are going down and all i can do is hope
04:38that we're in the
04:39right spot and this gold i'm already celebrating in my head right now you're setting your expectations high
04:47so if they're not met you're gonna be upset and that's right everybody gets fired
04:56oh man what the we got going on here what's going on that rock right there is is gonna be
05:02a stopper for
05:03us really yeah right now we're gonna have to pick that rock up because this won't fit because of that
05:09one rock
05:12some of our weird collapsed at the end right here some of the bigger rocks collapse right where
05:17the dredge is gonna be sitting so we have to move them out how about a cable
05:25that'll work hopefully all right everybody back the up
05:35what the hell is making all the squeaking nothing squeaking like crazy dude
05:47stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop oh
05:51winch is on fire
05:58god dang one more problem holy
06:05it's hot now it's hot it's
06:08that motor's toast
06:11what's going on the motor's going out yeah i think the motor's toast
06:16this year has so much rain just fine gravel and everything here i've got a feeling it got inside
06:21of there corroded it up and killed it
06:26it's not what i needed
06:29the downstream winch is the powerhouse that does all the heavy lifting without it they can't lift the
06:37monster dredge or haul boulders and rock baskets out of the raging white water
06:43and they'll have no hope of reaching bedrock gold
06:50solutions what do we do i don't know what options we have right now i know i'm talking options yeah
06:55that's what we're talking about is options right yeah sort of changing the motor out i don't know
07:03would you feel comfortable pulling the motor up here
07:08i have to pull the case off i have to pull the gears out and then have to get inside
07:12there
07:12i can't do it i don't i don't see any way we need to dredge today so let's dredge and
07:19then we'll
07:19work on this after the fact we need to get in the freaking water because getting way late in the
07:26season
07:27and we don't have enough gold to even talk about so let's get the dredge in get the divers in
07:34out of time and money dustin has no option other than to push forward
07:41but this means all the heavy lifting must be done by hand
07:47well right now the winch is down and uh we got a rock in the way the dredge it's too
07:53heavy to lift
07:53so my plan is to try to blow this rock up i just want to keep moving because today's
07:59a day where we need to get in the water now now now now
08:09james you got me copy copy i got a chart set
08:13i was about to ask you to do that thank you yeah he's quick he's ready to pop it copy
08:21that
08:22this winch is toast so get that rock blasted let's get it out of the way and then we're
08:28gonna dredge all right going hot
08:34ready three two one
08:38get it nice that looks like it's small enough to move now
08:43that's out the way and now let's just focus on dredge and see we can find some gold
08:47without the winch it's going to slow us down in the hole because now we can't get basket rocks out
08:53let's see if we can get the dredge up
09:01today i'm going to try to find the bedrock that we've been looking for it's going to be the season
09:07where we uh gambled a little too much and didn't get paid back but hopefully that's not it hopefully
09:13i see some gold because uh we're out of time so we need to get the water and do what
09:19james does
09:21try to find gold
09:27just pile up the rocks behind you or inside of you or just keep digging down i don't know what
09:32else
09:33to do right now we don't have a winch yeah dig like a madman all right
09:38all right let's see what you can get done bro all right counting on you all right
09:49come on bedrock bottom get there get there this is crazy deep
10:01hey paul get as far as you can copy that i have a good feeling about today guys oh good
10:08i hope so something positive put in a good long dive see if it can't get down to that bottom
10:12yeah
10:21what's it look like it's awesome down here this is good that means i'll be able to dig a lot
10:27faster get to the bottom i agree i think as far as my basket rocks i'm just going to stack
10:33them over
10:33here against the wall so i got plenty to dress copy that
10:43the water is low and clear and beautiful it's only slightly jealous i don't get to dive today because
10:51there's not very many days like this definitely looks a little different yeah it's changing a lot
10:58a little bit more red what's your side like paul is it more like a hardback
11:02kind of look at it it's like a more of a clayish yeah it's got a mix of green and
11:07red in it i think
11:08these rocks have got to be sitting on bedrock i think they are too god i hope so this is
11:12telling me
11:13that we're close to the bottom old timers told tales of this green clay layer
11:19being the last obstacle before bedrock and the gold that dustin desperately needs to save his claims
11:27from the auction block
11:31you guys are painting a pretty picture down there yeah we're getting somewhere today guys
11:38over the next three hours i like how this stuff's breaking up
11:43paul and james dredge the hard pack we have got to be close
11:47but without the pulling power of the winch are forced to remove every rock by brute force
11:55punching around and down these boulders at least the materials loose around it
12:01they don't find bedrock today i'm gonna start drinking heavy probably
12:06holy got another boulder i've got some black white rock here
12:11this side is a lot of rock
12:36and a half feet into the hard pack we've got a wall of boulders
12:41at the golden straits the downstream winch is out of operation and james and paul have hit
12:48a field of impenetrable boulders the way i see it big boulders big gold it's a good sign i'm so
12:56sick
12:57of hearing it's a good sign what i need is a pile of gold that'll be a good sign
13:09crazy crazy deep isn't it it is it really is how's it going down there are you starting to feel
13:17a
13:17little cramped with all the basket rocks as long as i can find spots to stack it without a falling
13:25in i'm gonna dredge what i can get to okay well do the best you can and keep up the
13:31good work guys
13:33as soon as we hit bedrock it's gonna be great what do you think i think we're all why
13:43it just seems like it's gonna keep going down too many things are working against me for me to
13:48succeed right now winches down bank it to the bottom now with that attitude somebody once said to me
13:59it's hard to stay positive with all this bull over five hours into their dive there's still no sign
14:10of bedrock all right it's getting late nice and easy you've been down for a while good job man that
14:29was deep yeah it's uh crazy deep right now
14:36big high right now we'll pay the bills though no goal today but we haven't reached bedrock
14:43we've got to be getting pretty close right now how are we gonna pick this up i think i can
14:48take
14:49the cumball off and we can pick it up we've got to get the dredge up they're calling for more
14:54rain
14:55and the last place we want this dredge the deuce loose is sitting right down here so we're gonna do
14:59everything we can to keep this thing safe tonight without the winch 66 year old wes
15:07must hand crank the 2500 pound dredge to safety
15:15that's terrifying because that come along's not reading for that much weight
15:25success
15:27oh boy do we push things to the limb yeah buddy
15:36the dredge secure just in time before heavy rains descend on nugget creek all right james let's get the
15:45ladder off disassembled into place so we can go take that other winch off right let's figure that out
15:55right now we're taking the winch off and we'll get it fixed in the morning
16:00the downstream winch weighs over 70 pounds one slip and it could knock james into the raging water
16:12got some tension here it comes oh it's on you oh i got it djs beautimus
16:25plans is west is gonna fix the winch if they can't get that winch up and running we're gonna run
16:30out of
16:49space down
16:49danielle james you're down today west that winch went down i need you to find me a motor or some
16:56parts
16:56off of one of the old winches that we have make something work you're against the clock right now
17:02if we can't get the winch fixed before they get rock locked we have to pull them out of the
17:07water
17:07because they can't dig anymore yeah god i thought we had this on lock this year i thought this was
17:15gonna be an easy gimme and here i am having one of the hardest damn years of our freaking gold
17:22mining
17:22experience yep and i can't believe how much we're having to dig we just gotta move forward yeah all
17:30right let's get out of here y'all my key today is to try to keep the divers in and
17:37digging the snow
17:39is coming down the mountains in a very rapid fashion so we are out of time now we gotta hit
17:45bedrock
17:53danielle and james are gonna go down and they're gonna just move rocks as much as they can
17:57there'll be a moment where they can't go any farther there'll be too many rocks piled up around them
18:03and what we're doing right now is we're racing that clock hopefully by the time the winch is fixed
18:10they can still dig i've got west working real hard to pull some other machines apart and see what we
18:17can
18:26make work
18:26i know i've got old winches in here right now we're dead in the water with no way to pull
18:32boulders
18:37i'm just gonna take the motor off this one take it up to the site and get that thing working
18:41again
18:43the whole power plant for this winch right here is this motor
18:47so i'd have to take this off and then i can just pull this motor out it's imperative that i
18:53get
18:53this thing fixed so we can get back online
19:03you know your job let's do it that's it do what you can
19:08and when you can't do anymore we'll pull you out once that winch is good we'll be back to business
19:14all right you're good to go bro
19:18with almost no hope of hitting bedrock until wes fixes the winch
19:23james and danielle must remove every rock by hand
19:28that hole's really deep feels like i'm in the bottom of an ocean right now
19:33water looks like it's starting to get murky already
19:39today this will be my deepest dive yet
19:45i'm a little nervous about the depth guessing between 12 and 15 feet
19:51it's gonna be pretty much pitch black down there
19:56that's really what i dislike the most about diving here is not being able to see
20:09everything's okay you could be down there or you'd be up here with us i'd rather be down there if
20:15i were you
20:20all right i'm good on my side this side's good all right tighten her up everything's good
20:25all right hey james danielle's coming down watch yourself
20:32it's going to be a drop off
20:41hey james where you at trying to open up a hole back here i moved a lot of rock so
20:48i should be able
20:49to dredge is this the front wall yeah you can't really see anything smirking uh the police blackout
20:59do what you can
21:02with parts pilfered from their winch graveyard at camp wes can now begin performing backcountry surgery
21:12all right james and uh danielle down there they're digging so we're racing against the clock man
21:18let's see if they we can get this done before they can't dig anymore yeah i got this
21:24now all i got to do is the reverse of what i did at camp all the same steps just
21:28in reverse checking
21:29out the gears they look in good shape
21:35i thought there was a lot of room but you know there isn't i know it's tight down here
21:41but you know i don't know what to do james i'm sorry i have no access to the bottom to
21:48do any kind of
21:49suction dredging but it's different than the last guys i've done james can you give her some room
21:59uh i'll go over to danielle's side see if i could open up you're already on my side
22:06she doesn't know that we did on top of each other no i mean i am up against this wall
22:11that you guys
22:11told me not to touch i can't do anything just a pile of rocks man it's closing in on us
22:21it's not like before like when paul and i were on top of each other i don't know what to
22:29do is the
22:30problem come up whatever you want to do make a decision
22:40i don't know how to explain it i've been hitched in a corner
22:52i'm ecstatic right now
22:57problem is i know you don't want to be that deep so i can't tell if you're making up or
23:01not
23:01no i like being down if i have something to do it feels like torture if you're just sitting there
23:09you can't do anything down there come out of the water that's it yeah we're just not doing anything
23:16i'm trying
23:20give me a second
23:36i don't know what to do i have a problem
23:45i'm ecstatic right now at the golden straits dive site
23:50with the wind still inoperational boulders and emotions are boiling over
23:57i have nowhere to move to because i legitimately don't
24:06i understand this is not an emotional thing if you can't do anything down there
24:11come out of the water that's it
24:16there's no room so i don't know what to do
24:18if it's too tight it's too tight that's all there is to it there's no happy or sad about it
24:24this is just work that's it you're done
24:33i feel like i'm in disappointment not the first time this has happened what do you mean the hole
24:39gets narrow so you can't ask two people that's right deeper you go the more this happens that's how
24:45this works there's no way to widen it or you can't because there's too many rocks we'll figure it out
24:51don't worry about it good
24:56i feel like i'm a total lead down i honestly think that just one person working down there is all
25:02that's
25:02going to happen right now until we can get some rocks out of the way so hopefully west is close
25:09with
25:09uh with the wedge
25:14a little flake you see what you got a little bitty sucker but it's
25:18it's something that little piece came up for whatever danielle did
25:22all right her side that's on danielle's side huh awesome there's got to be more i think there is
25:35uh
25:35i'm happy now what we got to do is get it back on the wall i know the rocks are
25:40stacking up on james
25:40down there and uh we'll get this back on the wall here shortly and if it works we'll be back
25:46in business
25:52Beautiful.
25:53Well done.
25:55So where do you want me to bring it?
25:57I think I could hop around this and get it on that ladder.
26:00Just be careful right there.
26:07Come on.
26:16Right here.
26:17Slide, slide.
26:18Come on down.
26:19Yeah, you grab a rope.
26:20I got it, I got it.
26:21Go ahead.
26:22You got it?
26:24Yep.
26:27All right.
26:28I'm on.
26:29All right.
26:29You're gonna move so many rocks, you're gonna hate me, Winch.
26:40Hey, Paul, if you get a chance, can you check the hot water on my side?
26:44Get colder and colder.
26:46Copy that.
26:47You need more hot water?
26:48Yeah.
26:49I should have said something.
26:50Yeah, as soon as you start feeling cold, let me know and I'll take the foot valve.
26:55James.
26:56Come out.
26:57I'm gonna have to shut the engine down and clean the filter.
27:02James is having problems keeping this damn water.
27:05Because the water's coming up, it's spitting a whole bunch of debris into the foot valve,
27:10so it's shutting off the hot water.
27:12It's freezing, dude.
27:13Is it worth putting it back down with this dirty water?
27:17I'm starting to think we should bail.
27:19Yeah.
27:21After nearly six hours of backbreaking work in the icy 36-degree water, Dustin is forced to make a tough
27:30call.
27:31Yeah, you look like you're shaking already.
27:34Yeah, he is.
27:36I have been shaking for a while.
27:38I'm just toughing it, which is not very smart.
27:42Let's get him dried out and dressed.
27:44Let's pull it up.
27:45Come out.
27:46Okay.
27:49We're pulling the diver out.
27:50It's getting dangerous.
27:51There's so much debris coming down the river right now.
27:53The water's coming up, and it's just clogging its foot valve.
27:56So Dustin made the call to take James out and live to dive another day.
28:03That was a tough one.
28:04So they got the winch working.
28:06They're fixing to wind it up.
28:07I'll go get warmed up.
28:10We put it back together, and we're going to test this winch to see if it works.
28:15If it does, we're going to pick up the dredge because this is getting out of hand.
28:21Ready?
28:22Ready?
28:32There you go.
28:33I'll be talking.
28:37The winch fix worked.
28:39We're back in working order now.
28:41A little bit more.
28:43Come back up.
28:45Everything's working again.
28:47You're good.
28:48You're good.
28:49You're good.
28:49You're good.
28:50You nailed it.
28:54Hopefully it'll last the rest of the season.
28:56We've got to get these rocks out.
28:58Now that we have the winch working, we can make some real good progress.
29:02I'm happy with the dredge where it's at.
29:04The water's going to have to come up four feet to even touch it.
29:13Before you said you understood me, but now you're saying you think that I...
29:16I think we have different experience levels.
29:19I was explaining to you about what I felt under there and that you thought maybe I was chickening out.
29:27You're like, I'm uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable.
29:30So it's the crying wolf thing.
29:33F*** you.
29:35You told me there's a point where it's too tight.
29:37Yes.
29:38Absolutely.
29:38For everybody.
29:39Absolutely.
29:40You're saying it probably wasn't for me.
29:41I don't know that.
29:43What I've been trying to tell you is I don't know if you're just afraid of being down there or
29:50there's an actual problem.
29:51I couldn't do anything.
30:05You thought I was chickening out.
30:08I couldn't tell if you were just being claustrophobic.
30:11So it's the crying wolf thing.
30:13F*** you.
30:14I couldn't do anything.
30:16At Nugget Creek, the vital winch is fixed.
30:20But both James and Danielle were forced to end their dives before it came back online.
30:27The point was to get to bedrock to go down.
30:30So they went down, but it's two blocks.
30:35I didn't have enough information and I had a lot of things going on.
30:39All right?
30:40It had nothing to do with you or anybody else.
30:42I'm just trying to get this hole dug.
30:43That's it.
30:44You okay?
30:46It's not a problem.
30:47I promise.
30:52We're up there.
30:56I got a little out of control today.
30:58There's too many things happening.
31:00Hell of a day.
31:01Let's get out of here.
31:02It's not the safest place in the world right now.
31:05Yeah.
31:05So let's hop out of here, y'all.
31:09Wes fixed the winch.
31:12But not before James was freezing to death and Danielle got kind of pinched.
31:19We'll get to the bottom, just not today.
31:21More damn job here.
31:33Yesterday turned into a damn show.
31:36Our job is to find bedrock and find gold and we're not doing it.
31:40And it's breaking my heart.
31:43As winter threatens to end his season, Dustin's ownership of Nugget Creek rests on finding hidden bedrock gold.
31:55It's getting more and more dangerous, but we keep going because we're desperate at this point.
31:59I'm running out of money.
32:00I'm running out of time.
32:02We keep thinking it's one more foot, one more foot, one more foot, and hopefully things work out today.
32:09Beefcake!
32:11Got it?
32:12I'll take it from here.
32:14That's my strong woman.
32:16Strong woman!
32:20Now the heavy lift winch is fixed.
32:23The crew can remove the backlog of rocks blocking their path to gold.
32:30I know it looks terrifying going down 15 feet, but we just don't want to give up until we see
32:35bedrock.
32:36Gold fever make you do some crazy things sometimes.
32:42Yeah, buddy.
32:44How's your mask?
32:45Is it okay or are we going to tighten it?
32:47I feel good right now.
32:48You're good?
32:49Yeah.
32:49Yeah, there's a lot of freaking rocks down there, man.
32:52It's just going to be basket, basket, basket.
32:54I'm glad the winch is going.
32:56That'll just keep me busy.
32:57We got this.
32:58Okay, buddy.
32:59You're ready to rock.
33:00Copy that.
33:01Feels good.
33:02Alright.
33:07Elevator!
33:12Oh, y'all weren't lying.
33:13It got tight down here.
33:14Wow.
33:15Yeah, pretty tight though.
33:17Yeah, I see why y'all were on top of each other.
33:20Oh man, it is clear down here.
33:23Let's see what I can do.
33:26And I can use a basket.
33:27Okay, here it comes.
33:37It's a beautiful thing to have rock baskets.
33:41It means he's making more room down there.
33:43Getting closer to the bottom.
33:45Alright, baskets hooked up.
33:47You're clear.
33:48I'm clear.
33:50All right, Wes is coming up with it.
33:55Alright, the basket's all clear.
34:00I can use another basket.
34:03Okay, copy that.
34:07Coming in the water right now.
34:10Over the next three hours.
34:15So, what's that going on down there, bro?
34:17Right now, I'm trying to open this thing up a little bit more side to side.
34:21There's a lot of basket rocks.
34:23Paul removes over half a ton of rocks and boulders to open up the dive hole.
34:38I can't touch side to side anymore.
34:41It's getting deep.
34:43Now we have a working winch.
34:45Paul's killing it down there.
34:46He's peeling up one rock at a time and making baskets fly.
34:51So, that's pretty impressive because it's really hard digging down there.
34:56Now, let's see if we can punch down.
34:58Eventually, we're going to find the glory.
35:02I've got to get this one rock out.
35:06You can put a hook in it any time you want, bro.
35:08Copy that.
35:09I'll do it.
35:10Is it so big that the cable's going to snap or what?
35:13It's not big.
35:14It's just locked in.
35:15I can't get it tried loose.
35:18That's so locked in like concrete.
35:22I've got a couple of them down here.
35:23We get out, and it's going to really open this place up.
35:25All right.
35:26We've got a drill ready for you.
35:29Paul's got a big rock in the way.
35:31We're going to put a bolt in it, and we're going to try to pull it out.
35:36We're ready for a winner.
35:37We're going to try to lift this thing out with.
35:39OK.
35:40The headache falls in the water.
35:42Watch this rope when he starts pulling.
35:44You see how he's holding that?
35:45Yeah.
35:47If that thing pops under pressure, it's going to shoot out of your hands.
35:51And if you have your hand on it, just even loosely, your first instinct is to grab it.
35:55And it'll rip your hand off.
35:58All right.
36:01There it is.
36:02Whoa.
36:03That's one of my fingers.
36:07Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
36:09Rock clear.
36:12Can do a little clean up.
36:17Holy .
36:22I think I found bedrock.
36:24dang.
36:26Hell yeah.
36:28Music to my ears.
36:32Bedrock doesn't exist.
36:35I love it.
36:37Now we're getting somewhere.
36:41Yeah, Paul.
36:42That's badass.
36:43I never thought bedrock would look so beautiful.
36:46It looks like it's diving down.
36:48I want to see some gold now.
36:50Gone bedrock.
36:51Now I need to find gold.
37:03All right, so tell me the truth, am I looking buff today?
37:07You look buff every day, but especially now.
37:11There's a gym over there.
37:13You must have carried a lot of stuff up here.
37:15Sorry.
37:16Here, wait.
37:17There, right there.
37:19Bigger than my hand.
37:24Sorry, just found a bit sick.
37:25.
37:37This is definitely bedrock.
37:40I never thought bedrock would look so beautiful.
37:44After nearly five months and one abandoned dive site,
37:48Paul has finally discovered bedrock 14 and a half feet down.
37:54We're all ecstatic, Paul.
37:57This is amazing.
37:58God, you don't know how happy I am right now.
38:02This could be the start of a golden pastry that will save their season.
38:08Paul found a bedrock wall that's sloping down.
38:11Similar to that up here, like this here.
38:14We're looking for the bottom of that.
38:16This is a good start.
38:18We're going to keep going full steam.
38:21This is like checkpoint one.
38:23I wish we would have hit this a week into our start, but here we are.
38:27About to start snowing on us.
38:30Now let's find out how much gold we can find.
38:33Paul's found sloping bedrock.
38:36From here, he can follow it to the deepest point and a life-changing deposit of gold.
38:46I've had my hopes up four times than I can count.
38:49How vertical is it or is it starting to flatten out?
38:52You've got to see it with your own eyes.
38:54Can I get y'all to send me the underwater minicamp?
38:57Okay.
39:04It's got white lines, all kinds of in it.
39:07This bedrock up here has got white lines all in it like that, Paul.
39:16Oh, you can see it right there.
39:19The lines in it.
39:20Is that it?
39:22That definitely is it.
39:24That's bedrock.
39:26God, we needed that wind today.
39:28Yes, we did.
39:29We all did so much.
39:31I'm excited.
39:32Oh, I'm happy, man.
39:34That means we have a chance.
39:36We should be getting gold.
39:38How wide of an area do you have opened up?
39:41I've got at least two and a half to three feet of it exposed.
39:44Good job, bro.
39:46I'm so happy right now.
39:48Hey, this is teamwork, man.
39:49It took all of us to do this.
39:52It's definitely dropping down.
39:53It could be a pole right here.
39:56I like that.
39:57That sounds fun.
39:58So that means we can follow it and find the gold line now.
40:02This has been a long time coming.
40:04So I can see if I can dredge as much as possible.
40:08Next stop, Gold Town.
40:11You should see all the grins on everyone's faces up here.
40:16Everybody's smiling from ear to ear.
40:21Hey, Paul, how much you got left in you, bro?
40:25I can keep going.
40:27He's too excited to quit.
40:31Paul wants to hit the bottom.
40:33We've all been working towards this in a big way.
40:35This is our first break.
40:36And right now, he doesn't want to get out.
40:39I'm on his schedule now.
40:41Come on.
40:42Find some gold, boy.
40:46We're desperate right now.
40:48We're going into the midnight shift.
40:51It's getting dark.
40:54Now that we found bedrock, the hunt is strictly for gold.
40:59Holy cow.
41:01That's a big, big, big win for us.
41:03It's about to start.
41:05Things go faster, hopefully, from now on.
41:08Finally got there, but it took some damn work.
41:12We're going to get gold.
41:13There's going to be gold.
41:14This is celebration time.
41:17Big nugs.
41:18That's what we're looking for.
41:19Big nugs.
41:28Big nugs.
41:28Big nugs.
41:29Big nugs.
41:29Big nugs.
41:31Takahit.
