Dustin: THAT IS EXCITING.
HOLY ! YEAH!
THOSE ARE SOME GOOD PIECES, MAN.
THERE'S GOLD THERE. THERE'S GOLD THERE.
THIS IS A LOT OF REALLY GOOD GOLD.
AWESOME!I'M EXCITED.
NUGGET HEAVEN.
Narrator: HIGH IN THE CHILKAT MOUNTAINS OF ALASKA,
HOME TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST GOLD STRIKES
IN AMERICAN HISTORY,
DUSTIN HURT IS HUNTING FOR BIG GOLD
BENEATH A 25-FOOT WATERFALL.
NOW, NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS INTO THE SEASON,
HE'S FINALLY ON THE GOLD.
Wes: THERE'S LIKE 12 OUNCES THERE OR SO.
THIS IS MORE THAN WE'VE EVER FOUND.
THAT'S REALLY GOOD GOLD, MAN.
BUT I WAS HOPING TO GET A GOD DANG COFFEE CAN FULL, MAN.
DO YOU THINK YOU CLEANED THAT HOLE OUT?
THE GOOD PARTS OF IT, YEAH.
MY OPINION -- THAT'S THE BEST IT'S GONNA GET.
LOOK AT ALL THAT GOLD.
OUR LITTLE PIECES AND PICKERS THAT WE'RE GETTING.
ABOUT DAMN TIME, MAN. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
Dustin: THAT WAS JUST IN THE INSPECTION MAT.
NICE LITTLE CLEAN-OUT RIGHT THERE.
Narrator: BUT HIS 12-OUNCE PAYDAY WORTH $18,000
MAY BE HIS LAST FROM RAINBOW'S END.
THE WAY THAT CARLOS MADE IT SOUND
IS THAT HOLE IS EMPTY, MAN.
COMPLETELY DONE.
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT DOWN THERE.
HUH.
Carlos: THIS HOLE IS FINISHED,
AND NOW WE GOT ENOUGH TIME
TO GO SET UP ANOTHER HOLE AND GET A CHANCE
TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE GOLD, YOU KNOW?
I WAS THINKING OF JUST GOING DOWN THERE
AND MAKE AN ASSESSMENT. YEAH.
GOING TO GO FIND OUT IF WHAT CARLOS SAID WAS TRUE,
IF HE THINKS IT'S JUST COMPLETELY CLEANED OUT.
AND, FOR SOME REASON, IN MY MIND,
I CAN'T SEE IT BEING COMPLETELY CLEANED OUT
BECAUSE JUST LIKE TRYING TO CLEAN-OUT THIS GOLD HERE,
I MEAN, THAT HIDES.
I'LL GO LOOK AROUND BY MYSELF, FIND OUT WHAT'S DOWN THERE.
ALRIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.
SO FAR, I THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL ON THIS SITE.
THIS IS THE MOST GOLD WE'VE FOUND ANYWHERE
IN, LIKE, SIX YEARS THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS.
SO, YOU KNOW,
IT'S WORTH A BIT MORE TIME, I THINK.
IF RAINBOW'S END IS FINISHED,
IT WILL COST DUSTIN TIME AND GOLD
TO SET UP AN ENTIRE NEW OPERATION...
AH, IT'S, LIKE, A WEIRD RITUAL GETTING DRESSED HERE.
ALRIGHT. LET'S HAVE A GOOD DIVE.
WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU TO BRING US SOME GOLD UP TODAY.
Narrator: ...ON THIS "GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER."
YOU GET UP.
GET THE OUT OF HERE!
I NEVER FELT LIKE FRED HURT MORE IN MY LIFE.
YEE-HOO-HOO-HOO! NICE.
DUSTIN MAY BE AHEAD NOW,
BUT HE AIN'T AHEAD FOR LONG.
-HE'S CAUGHT UP.
FRED'S UMBILICAL IS CAUGHT UNDERNEATH THE HOSE.
COULD BE AN ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE.
Woman: ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU TELL ME!
WOW! THAT'S AWESOME.
I THINK WE'RE GETTING INTO THE BIG TIME.
Woman: OH, MY GOSH!
LOOK HOW BIG THOSE ARE.
WE'RE IN THE BIG KAHUNA NOW.
--Captions by VITAC-- www.vitac.com
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
Narrator: 76-YEAR-OLD FRED HURT
SPENT MORE TIME MOVING THIS SEASON THAN MINING,
AND SO FAR...
HIS PLAN HASN'T PAID OFF.
Fred: IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK.
WITH LESS THAN AN OUNCE OF GOLD MINED TO DATE,
HE GATHERS THE CREW
FOR THE NEXT PHASE
OF HIS MASTER PLAN.
Fred: I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE BEEN ITCHING TO GET UP THERE,
AND WE'RE FINALLY JUST GOING TO GO AHEAD
AND MOVE INTO THE BIG WATERFALL.
-ALRIGHT. -YEAH!
-I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT. -LET'S GET TO WORK.
COME ON, GUYS. -ABOUT TIME.
-YEAH.
Fred: THINK Y'ALL HAVE BEEN AFTER ME TO MOVE UP THERE
SOONER THAN I WANTED TO.
NOW, I WON'T SAY I SHOULD'VE, COULD'VE, WOULD'VE.
SO...
Narrator: BUT WITH WINTER ONLY A LITTLE OVER A MONTH AWAY,
FRED IS GAMBLING
THEY STILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET DOWN TO THE GOLD
BEFORE THE FREEZE.
Kayla: HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE DREDGE UP THERE?
CABLE. CABLE?
NEW CABLE SYSTEM?
THERE'S QUITE A FEW OBSTACLES.
FIRST OF ALL, WE GOT JAGGED ROCKS.
THEN WE GOT TO GET IT UP OVER THE LITTLE WATERFALL.
SO, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK OUT SOME KIND OF SYSTEM.
I GUESS WE COULD SPLICE SOME CABLE TOGETHER
TO RIG UP SOME KIND OF EXTENSION
AND WINCH IT UP THERE.
I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO GET THAT DREDGE UP THERE,
BUT THAT'S WHERE THE GOLD IS.
Y'ALL READY FOR THIS?YEP.
LET'S GET IT.LET'S DO IT.
Narrator: THIS SEASON, FRED HAS DREDGED HIS WAY
150 FEET UPSTREAM.
NOW, HE'LL TARGET THE BIGGEST WATERFALL
WHERE HE BELIEVES THERE'S A HUGE DEPOSIT
OF BEDROCK GOLD.
FIRST, HE MUST EXTEND HIS SKYLINE,
THEN, USING TWO WINCHES,
LIFT 700-POUND DREDGE
AND HAUL IT UPSTREAM.
I'M GONNA NEED YOU BILLY GOATS TO GO UP THERE
AND SEE IF IT'S FLAT ENOUGH
AND SEE IF WE CAN ANCHOR A CABLE
UP AT THE TOP OF THE WATERFALL
ON THE LEFT SIDE, UP THERE SOMEWHERE.
Y'ALL BOTH GO UP THERE AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
WHAT YOU GOT UP THERE?
Rich: WE CAN MOUNT A WINCH SYSTEM
ABOUT ANYWHERE WE WANT TO UP HERE.
Paul: YEAH, WE CAN.
WE CAN PUT THE SHACKLE ON THE UPSIDE OF IT.
NOW THAT WE GOT OUR CABLE UP, WE NEED TO ATTACH OUR PULLEY.
Narrator: TO MOVE THE DREDGE UPSTREAM,
PAUL SECURES A PULLEY WITH A PAIR OF CABLE CLAMPS.
Fred: I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PUT AN EYE IN IT.
Narrator: DOWNSTREAM, FRED CONNECTS THE UPPER WINCH CABLE
TO THE TRAVEL LOCK.
Fred: AH, THERE'S NO REAL TRICK TO IT.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE AND ENGINEERING.
Paul: FRED, WE'RE GONNA GO UP AND TIGHTEN THE CABLE!
Paul: YOU KNOW, WE DON'T EVER GET TO TEST THESE THINGS OUT.
IF IT STAYS UP, WE'RE IN GREAT SHAPE.
TIGHTEN IT UP REAL NICE.
ALRIGHT! WE GOT IT!
IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY TO GET THAT DREDGE UP THERE!
Narrator: IT'S A 50-FOOT HAUL UP TO THE PLUNGE POOL.
IF THE $16,000 DREDGE
SMASHES INTO THE ROCKS,
IT COULD END THEIR SEASON.
Fred: YOU CAN KNOCK A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF ONE OF THOSE
PRETTY EASY WITH A SHARP ROCK.
NEW MINER KAYLA WILL OPERATE BOTH WINCHES
TO LIFT THE 700-POUND DREDGE.
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD AND PICK UP ONE
AND SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE,
WHAT KIND OF ORIENTATION IT'S GOING TO DO.
THERE YOU GO.
IT'S ALREADY PICKING UP A LITTLE BIT.
JUST GONNA DRAG IT UP OVER THE ROCKS THERE.
COMING UP.
OH, WHOA!
COME AHEAD WITH YOUR...
BLOCK.
ALRIGHT.
PICK UP ON YOUR FRONT LINE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.
FRONT LINE.
Kayla: THAT IS.NO, IT ISN'T.
THAT'S THE BACK LINE. THE FRONT LINE UP THERE.
LET'S MOVE THE BLOCK AHEAD.
ALRIGHT. IT'S MOVING.
WHOA! STOP, STOP!
Paul: OH, GOD! IT'LL FLOAT.
WATCH IT.
WHOA!
EASY, EASY.
ALRIGHT.
PULLING IT IN WITH THE UPSTREAM WINCH,
BUT IT'S NOT MOVING.
ALRIGHT.
WE NEED THE ROPE.
AND A COME-ALONG AND HELP HER PULL IT FORWARD.
OKAY.
Fred: IF WE GET IT UP HIGH ENOUGH,
WE CAN ASSIST THE WINCH IN PULLING IT FORWARD.
SLACK DOWN ON YOUR BACK LINE.
OKAY.
WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.
YO! YO!
OH, MY GOD.
Paul: OH, OUR PULLEY SLID DOWN.
OH, WOW.
IT SLID WAY DOWN.
HOLY .
BOTH CABLE PINS ARE RIGHT THERE.
THAT BOTH OF THEM?
YEAH. WOW.
Narrator: 10 FEET INTO THE MOVE,
AND THE CLAMPS SECURING THE PULLEY HAVE FAILED,
CRASHING THE 700-POUND DREDGE INTO THE ROCKS.
Fred: SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DROP THE WHOLE LINE DOWN
AND REHOOK IT.
-HEY, WHOA! -WHOA.
Fred: ALRIGHT. HOLD UP.
WHAT?
WE GOT A MESS DOWN THERE.
YEAH, WE DO.
YEAH, I MEAN, IT IS A MESS.
Narrator: UPSTREAM, AT RAINBOW'S END,
DUSTIN IS SEARCHING ON BEDROCK
TO PROVE THEY GOT ALL THE GOLD
BEFORE MOVING HIS ENTIRE OPERATION.
WOW! LOOK AT THAT.
THAT IS A NUGGET.
OKAY. THERE YOU GO!
TWO NUGGETS IN THERE.
THERE GOES ONE. THERE GOES TWO.
TAKE IT IN, BUDDY.
THEY WENT THROUGH THE DREDGE.
COOL.
I'M HAPPY NOW.
HOLY . A FULL-ON NUGGET.
YEAH. THAT'S PRETTY EXCITING.
MAN.
REALLY?
I CAN'T EVEN FIND BEDROCK ANYWHERE,
EXCEPT THIS...
ONE LITTLE AREA, MAN.
YEAH.
SO NOT ONLY IS THIS THING NOT CLEAN,
IT IS WIDER.
WOW.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A LOT MORE GOLD IN THERE THEN.
Narrator: ON THE LAST DIVE, CARLOS HIT BEDROCK
AND DREDGED UP A LARGE PILE OF NUGGETS
AND THOUGHT THE HOLE WAS CLEANED OUT.
NOW, DUSTIN HAS DISCOVERED THE WALLS OF THE PLUNGE POOL
AREN'T AT BEDROCK,
AND THERE'S MORE GOLD-RICH GRAVEL TO DREDGE.
Dustin: WE GOT SOME WORK TO DO.
♪ WE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO
OH, MAN.
HONESTLY, I LOVE HEARING THAT.
EVERYTHING IS LOOKING WELL.
EVERYTHING IS LOOKING UP, WHICH I FREAKING LIKE.
I LOVE IT.
YEAH, YOU GOT DARK MATERIAL COMING OVER AGAIN.
SO, THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD IN THERE
THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN SEEING, AS WELL.
THAT'S...
IT'S GONNA BE A GOOD CLEAN-OUT.
Narrator: AFTER THREE HOURS OF SUCCESSFUL DREDGING...
Dustin: AH, YEAH, MAN. THIS IS GOOD STUFF.
Narrator: ...DUSTIN CELEBRATES.
Dustin: ALRIGHT. I'M DOING A ROCK CLIMB.
UNDERWATER ROCK CLIMBING, HUH?
-THAT'S INTERESTING. -THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO DO.
UNDER THE WATERFALL, YOU KNOW,
THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT THING TO TRY TO DO.
AHH!
GOOD NEWS IS, THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
TO DIG DOWN IN THAT THING.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
COME ON, BABY!
SHOW ME SOMETHING!
I KNOW I SAW A COUPLE NUGGETS GO IN.
WOO!
Wes: GOOD JOB, MAN.
THERE'S GOOD GOLD IN THERE.
THERE'S GOLD THERE.
OH, YEAH.
OOH, IT'S SHINY.
LOOK HOW BIG THEY ARE, MAN.
THOSE ARE NICE.
HELL YEAH, FELLAS!
GOOD JOB, MAN.
THAT'S AMAZING.THIS WAS FUN, MAN.
THIS WAS... FINALLY FINDING GOLD.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
-YIP-YOO! -THAT'S AWESOME.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
Narrator: RAINBOW'S END STILL PRODUCING GOLD MEANS
DUSTIN COULD BE SET TO HIT THE JACKPOT THIS SEASON.
Dustin: SO, I THOUGHT THE HOLE WAS FINISHED --
COMPLETELY FINISHED IS WHAT CARLOS MADE IT SOUND LIKE
LAST TIME HE WENT DOWN.
HE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE IT WAS HOPEFUL AT ALL.
JUST NOW, I CLEANED OUT AN ENTIRE NEW SECTION
BIGGER THAN THE ONE THAT THEY CLEANED OUT,
AND WE'RE GETTING GOOD GOLD --
BIG, GOOD GOLD.
WOW.
WE GOT A MESS DOWN HERE.
YEAH, WE DO.
Narrator: THREE QUARTERS INTO THE MINING SEASON,
FRED HURT HAS BANKED LESS THAN AN OUNCE OF GOLD
ON HIS TWO FISH CLAIM.
NOW HIS PLAN TO DREDGE UNDER THE BIGGEST WATERFALL
IS GROUND TO A HALT.
THE PULLEY SLID DOWN ON OUR MAIN FLY LINE UP THERE.
YEAH, THAT'S CREATED A HUGE PROBLEM,
LINING UP WRONG ON THE WINCH,
PUT THE CABLE IN A BIND.
JUST NOT GOOD.
Fred: HOW MANY CABLE CLAMPS
YOU GOT ON THE FRONT END OF THAT THING?
Paul: RIGHT NOW, I'VE GOT TWO. I GOT ONE MORE I CAN PUT ON IT.
LET'S PUT ONE MORE ON IT.
ALRIGHT. YEAH.
Narrator: NOW THAT THE PULLEY IS SECURE WITH EXTRA CLAMPS,
THEY MAKE A SECOND ATTEMPT AT THE LIFT.
WE READY FOR THIS?
I BELIEVE SO.
ALRIGHT, KAYLA.
LET'S SEE HERE.
PICK UP ON YOUR MAIN LINE.
GO FORWARD WITH YOUR BLOCK.
HOLD TENSION ON IT.
HOLD IT STEADY.
PICK UP ON IT.
HOLD IT! WHOA!
HERE IT GOES.
Paul: OH, YEAH. ALRIGHT.
A LITTLE MORE, A LITTLE MORE.
THERE YOU GO.
WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!
ALRIGHT!
WE ARE IN THE WATERFALL!
-YEEHAW.
NICE JOB, EVERYBODY.
GREAT JOB.
WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS.
WE'RE IN THE BIG KAHUNA NOW.
Narrator: THE NEXT MORNING AT HIGH CAMP,
FATHER AND SON COMPARE PROGRESS.
Fred: HEY.WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON?
I MOVED MY DREDGE YESTERDAY.
YEAH? MADE IT TO THAT WATERFALL?
WE HAS A FEW LITTLE DRAMATIC MOMENTS, THOUGH.
WE MOVING THEM.
THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GREAT.
WE GETTING READY TO GET INTO THAT WATERFALL.
THE DEEPER THAT IS, THE BETTER.
OH, I KNOW.
I HOPE YOU GOT A CATCH DOWN THERE,
'CAUSE IF YOU DO, THE NUGGETS ARE COMING.
I'M HOPING THAT I GET ANOTHER COUPLE CLEAN-OUTS
WITH JUST NOTHING BUT NUGGETS IN IT AGAIN.
WE'RE HOPING OUR WATERFALL IS JUST AS PRODUCTIVE,
IF NOT MORE.
WE'LL SEE HOW IT TURNS OUT.
I HOPE YOU GUYS FIND SOME NUGGETS, MAN.
HAVE A GOOD DAY.YEAH, YOU TOO.
SEE Y'ALL LATER.
Narrator: AFTER STRIKING OUT DOWNSTREAM,
THE PRESSURE IS ON FRED AND HIS LARGEST WATERFALL
TO TURN HIS SEASON AROUND.
Fred: DUSTIN HAS BEEN FINDING A LOT OF GOLD.
WELL, I THINK WE'RE GETTING INTO THE BIG TIME NOW.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF GOLD
OUT OF THAT WATERFALL.
Narrator: OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
THE RAGING WATER CRASHING DOWN THE 40-FOOT FALL
COULD'VE CARVED A PLUNGE POOL DEEP ENOUGH
TO CATCH A LIFE-CHANGING AMOUNT OF GOLD.
WE HAVE, ALL AS A TEAM, WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT,
I THINK, SINCE WE GOT HERE.
I'M EXCITED TO BE PART OF THIS.
Ryan: I'M EXCITED TO GET IN THERE, MAN.
WHO KNOWS WHAT I'M GOING TO FIND?
Narrator: NEW HIRE RYAN WILL BE THE FIRST
TO DIVE THE PLUNGE POOL.
HE'S DREDGED FOR SIX YEARS
BUT NEVER WORKED BENEATH A POUNDING WATERFALL.
Fred: YOU KNOW THE DANGERS DOWN THERE.
YOU SEE THAT WATERFALL COMING DOWN 40 FEET RIGHT THERE.
IF THEY WASH A BIG ROCK OVER THAT THING,
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU BE SAFE DOWN THERE.
GIVE US A GOOD JOB, MAN.ALRIGHT.
I'M GONNA FIND US SOME GOLD.
ALRIGHT. GO AFTER IT.
FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO THE MOON.
GOOD LUCK DOWN THERE, RYAN.Kayla: GOOD LUCK.
I HOPE YOU SEE SOME NUGGETS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
Fred: FIRST TIME.
YEEHAW!
INTO THE POUND ZONE.
Ryan: ALRIGHT.
WHAT I'M SEEING IS A LOT...
A LOT OF HEAVY ROCK.
I DO NOT SEE ANY GRAVEL SITTING DOWN HERE.
IT'S ALL JUST ROCK, YEP.
ROCK, YEP.
NOTHING.
ZERO.
Narrator: LARGE ROCKS BLOCK RYAN'S WAY
DOWN TO THE BEDROCK GOLD
THAT COULDBE OVER 20 FEET DEEP.
Fred: WE'RE GETTING YOU A SLED,
A CLEAR PATH TO PULL THROUGH HERE.
Narrator: TO GET ANY DEEPER,
HE MUST HAUL THEM OUT USING A CUSTOM-BUILT SLED.
Kayla: FURTHER UP.
ALRIGHT, KAYLA. PULL THE BLOCK UPSTREAM.
PULL YOUR BLOCK UPSTREAM.
YOU'RE WORKING THE DIVER TO DEATH DOING THAT.
PULL THE BLOCK UPSTREAM.
PLEASE!
YEAH, THE REMOTE IS NOT RESPONDING AT ALL.
DIVER IS WAITING ON HIS SLED.
COME ON NOW, KAYLA.
MOVE THE BLOCK UPSTREAM, PLEASE.
KAYLA!
YEAH, I HEAR YOU. THE REMOTES AREN'T RESPONDING.
SO CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING TO ME?
THIS IS -- THIS ONE RIGHT HERE,
JUST PICK IT UP AND MOVE IT TOWARD HIM.
YEAH, I HEARD YOU THE FIRST 30 TIMES!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
BATTERY OUT.
IS THE MAIN WINCH LINE OPERATIONAL?
NO, THEY'RE BOTH DOWN. IT'LL BE LIKE TWO MINUTES.
BOTH OF THEM? OH, MY GOODNESS.
ALRIGHT.
Paul: YOU READY?YEAH.
THEY ARE READY?
YEAH. ALRIGHT.
WINCH IS WORKING.
GET THE SLED IN THE WATER.
Ryan: THAT BASKET IS IN MY FACE,
AND I CANNOT SEE IT ALL.
SOMETIMES, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE DISRESPECT
THAT COMES FROM FRED.
IT'S A LOT OF INSTRUCTION
WITH NOT A LOT OF LEEWAY.
Fred: GET OVER IT, KAYLA.
PEOPLE THAT DON'T DO WELL
AT THEIR JOB...
THEY IRRITATE ME,
AND I WILL EXPRESS THAT.
AND I GET SHARP.
Narrator: TO AVOID THE FIERCEST CURRENT,
RYAN HEADS TO THE SIDES OF THE PLUNGE POOL
TO REMOVE THE BOULDERS.
RIGHT NOW, HE'S JUST TAKING OFF THE TOP LAYER.
HE'S HOGGING UP A BUNCH OF ROCKS RIGHT NOW.
FRED, YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT'S DOWN HERE.
THERE'S A CAVE.
OH.
WOW!
YES, SIR. I WAS CLEARING UNDERNEATH.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
WHEN A WATERFALL COMES DOWN VERTICAL,
IT EATS UNDERNEATH THE ROCK A LITTLE BIT.
IF YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF CAVE UNDERNEATH THAT,
MORE THAN LIKELY, IT'S GOT GOLD IN IT.
I'M EXCITED.
Ryan: OH, YEAH. THERE'S A BIG OLD GIANT HOLE RIGHT HERE.
WOW.IT'S A MONSTER.
I THINK WE'RE IN FOR A HELL OF A PAYDAY HERE.
FROM WHAT I'M SEEING, I AGREE WITH YOU.
ALRIGHT.
WOW.
GOD .
GETS A LITTLE OBNOXIOUS UP THERE.
YEAH, I GET NEAR THAT POUND ZONE,
AND IT'S JUST TOSSING ME EVERYWHERE.
BOY, THIS THING IS VICIOUS.
I'D SAY THAT IT PICKED UP QUITE A BIT.
YEP. YEAH.
WOW.
ALL I SEE DOWN HERE IS WHITE BUBBLES.
YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS IS TOO MUCH.
ALRIGHT. YOU CAN COME ON OUT.
TOO DAMN DANGEROUS.
I'M GOOD.
Narrator: AFTER TWO HOURS TAKING ON POUND ZONE,
THE RAGING CURRENT PROVED TOO MUCH FOR RYAN.
UGH.
BOY, THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE UNDER THERE,
I MEAN, EXTREME TO SAY THE LEAST.
I'M DOWN THERE GETTING BEAT UP BY THE POUND ZONE CONSTANTLY,
BUT I FELT GOOD ABOUT WHAT I SAW DOWN THERE,
GOT RID OF A LOT OF OVERBURDEN AND FOUND THAT CAVE,
SO GOOD DAY.
I THINK THERE'S A GOOD PILE OF GOLD
UNDERNEATH THAT THING.
WE'RE AFTER IT. WE'LL FIND OUT.
STARTING TOMORROW, WE WILL FIND OUT
JUST HOW MUCH GOLD IS UNDER THERE.
I WISH I COULD TAKE ALL THIS WATER
AND SHOW EVERYBODY...
WHAT THE HELL IT LOOKS LIKE DOWN THERE.
THIS HOLE IS SO FREAKISHLY WIDE.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
Narrator: DUSTIN HURT HAS DISCOVERED
THE BOTTOM OF THE PLUNGE POOL IS WIDER THAN EXPECTED,
AND THERE'S EVEN MORE GOLD-RICH GRAVEL TO DREDGE.
Carlos: LET'S GO. LET'S DO THIS THING.
FIRST IN IS CARLOS MINOR.
WITH 15 YEARS AS A COMMERCIAL DIVER,
HE'S THE MOST EXPERIENCED ON THE CREW.
Carlos: LET'S GO TO WORK.
THERE IS A LOT MORE WORK TO BE DONE HERE.
LOT OF POTENTIAL GOLD DOWN HERE.
Narrator: JOINING HIM IS NEW CREW MEMBER, JAMES HAMM.
ALL AT ONCE. WHOOP.
YOU GOT ME? YES, SIR.
ALRIGHT. GOOD JOB.
WELL, IT'S GONNA BE NICE SITTING IN THERE.
Dustin: YEAH, THERE IT IS.
GOOD DIVE.
♪ MAN UNDER WATER
DIVER TWO DOWN.
Carlos: ALRIGHT, MAN. LET'S GO GET SOME GOLD, AMIGO.
James: YEAH! LET'S GO DIVING, DUDE!
Narrator: BOTH DIVERS WEAR 30-POUND WEIGHT BELTS
TO KEEP THEM SUBMERGED.
THEIR GOAL -- MOVE ROCKS AND GRAVEL TO WIDEN THE HOLE
AND EXPOSE MORE GOLD
ON THE BEDROCK.
ALRIGHT. THERE'S NO SUCTION.
Dustin: COPY THAT.
NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL CAME OUT YET.
HOLD ON A SEC. I'M CHECKING THE NOZZLE.
JUST LET IT DRAIN FOR A MINUTE.
NO SUCTION WHATSOEVER.
COPY THAT. WE'RE GOING TO SNAKE IT.
HOW'S THAT?
OH, YEAH. TH-THAT'S IT.
CARRY ON.
ALRIGHT.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MOVE A LOT OF YARDAGE TODAY.
SO THE LESS STOP-UPS WE HAVE, THE BETTER OFF IT'LL BE.
Narrator: TO CLEAN OUT THE HOLE,
CARLOS AND JAMES EACH RUN THEIR OWN DREDGE.
WHEN ONE BECOMES CLOGGED,
IT SLOWS DOWN THE OPERATION
AND COSTS THEM TIME AND GOLD.
CLOGGED.
YOU SERIOUS?
YEAH, I THINK.
SON OF A BITCH.
ALRIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO SNAKE IT,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO BEAT IT AT THE SAME TIME.
Narrator: NORMALLY, THE TENDER KEEPS
THE DIVER SAFE AND MANS THE ENGINES,
BUT DUSTIN IS ALSO CLEARING BLOCKAGES
BY SNAKING A 20-FOOT CABLE INTO THE SUCTION HOSE.
Dustin: , MAN!
HOLY . HOLY .
THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST ROCKS
WE EVER PUT THROUGH THAT LITTLE DREDGE.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
LOOKS LIKE HE'S STOPPED UP AGAIN ALREADY!
James: NOT GETTING SUCTION.
I'M GETTING PISSED OFF ABOUT IT.
Carlos: HEY, HOW YOU DOING, JAMES?
HEY! GO BACK TO YOUR NOZZLE,
HOLD IT UP, AND LET IT DRAIN, ALRIGHT?
ALRIGHT. I HEARD YOU.
AT THE SAME TIME, MAN.
HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS THESE TYPES OFF STOP-UPS, MAN.
MAN, I KNOW.
WES! GET THE OUT OF HERE.
YOU SEEING THIS ?
ALRIGHT. YOU SENDING SOME HUGE .
ARE YOU PUTTING THEM BEHIND YOU
INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM THROUGH THE NOZZLE?
SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE SUCTION ON IT.
VERY FRUSTRATING.
I'M ACTUALLY LOSING MONEY HERE RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS MY...
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH STOP-UPS FOR IT" FACE.
Narrator: JAMES IS SO CLOGGED UP,
DUSTIN IS FORCED TO PULL OUT THE HOSE
AND REMOVE THE ROCKS BY HAND.
HEY, YOU'RE IN A BAD SPOT RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE GONNA GET UP.
GO B-- GO BACK.
THAT WAS A LOT OF IN THERE.
GO DOWN WITH THAT.
OH, YOU ARE WORKING ME TODAY.
THAT BOY IS WORKING ME RIGHT NOW.
HOLY .
LOSING MY .
Wes: ARE YOU STOPPED UP AGAIN?
James: YEP.
OH, OH, GOD.
I'M GETTING SICK OF THIS RIGHT NOW.
GET THE OUT.
Narrator: JAMES IS PULLED OUT OF THE WATER
FOR CLOGGING UP SIX TIMES IN THREE HOURS.
ALRIGHT. GET OUT OF THAT SUIT, MAN,
STUPID.
I'M DONE.
DONE.
CARLOS, WITH NO CLOG-UPS,
CONTINUES HIS DIVE.
Carlos: HEY, HEY, WHAT'S UP, MAN?
Dustin: I GOT A LITTLE FRUSTRATED THERE,
SO I HAD TO STEP OFF.
YEAH. I BET, MAN.
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN SOME OF THE STUFF
HE PUT THROUGH THAT DREDGE.
I GOT TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M DOING WRONG,
SO I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE JUST NOT USED TO NO BIZ.
I DON'T LIKE --THAT'S ALL IT IS.
I DON'T LIKE UP.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
WELL, IF HE WANTS TO, HE CAN SEND ME HOME.
I DON'T KNOW.HE WON'T.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
Dustin: HEY!
THAT WAS HARD.
GOT SUPER UPSET WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF STOP-UPS,
JUST LIKE YOU DID.
LET'S BE COOL ABOUT IT,
AND LET'S LEARN FROM WHAT'S GOING ON.
I HATE THIS.YEAH, I KNOW.
SO, MOST OF THESE STOP-UPS WERE HAPPENING
BECAUSE THE ROCKS WERE TOO BIG.
EVERY TIME I PULLED ONE OUT, I WAS LIKE, "HOLY ."
WERE YOU TRYING TO DREDGE UP ALL THE TIME?
James: WHAT I'M DOING IS, I'M LIKE, "WOMP!"
OKAY. ALRIGHT.
I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT.
YOU GO...
IT'S STOPPED UP. THAT'S IT.
THERE HAS TO BE AN IN BETWEEN.
SO, THIS RIGHT HERE IS A GOOD ONE.
YOU GET YOUR HANDS,
AND YOU CAN JUST PUMP IT IN THERE.
YOU JUST...
AND THEN AS SOON AS SOMETHING,
YOU FEEL LIKE, IS BIG, YOU STOP IT.
YOU PUT IT BEHIND YOU OR IN THE BASKET.
I'M NOT SAYING THIS WILL STOP ALL STOP-UPS.
WE NEED LESS.
ALRIGHT?
ANNOYING. IT PISSES ME OFF.
OH, YEAH.I DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL.
OH, I...
WELL, I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU FROM THAT RIGHT NOW.
I HAD TO SHOW HIM A FEW TECHNIQUES.
I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE FRED HURT MORE IN MY LIFE.
NEARLY BECAME MY FATHER FOR A MINUTE,
BUT I HAD TO REALLY PULL BACK ON THAT.
HE WOULD'VE BEEN A ABOUT IT.
"YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
LOOK, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE.
YOU BOYS DON'T KNOW NOTHING!
NOTHING! YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!"
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT JAMES DIDN'T GET ANY OF THAT.
HE'LL JUMP ON BOARD.
AS SOON AS HE TRIES OUR TECHNIQUE,
I THINK HE'LL FIGURE OUT THE STOP-UPS WILL GO AWAY.
WE'LL GET ALONG BETTER.
Narrator: DETERMINED TO PROVE HE'S LEARNED HIS LESSON,
JAMES RETURNS TO DREDGE IN THE PLUNGE POOL
ALONGSIDE CARLOS.
James: IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR ME.
BUT MY GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE I DON'T GET A TON OF CLOGGERS.
I'M GOING TO TAKE MY TIME.
BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO BAD DOWN THERE,
YOU GOT A BETTER LIGHT.
MAN, THAT'S A LIGHT, MAN.
WAIT UNTIL YOU HIT THAT SON OF A .
ALRIGHT. FREE TO GO.
Dustin: WHAT DID YOU DO?
James: THAT LIGHT IS BRIGHT!
IT'S AWESOME.
HOLY .
YEAH, DUDE. IS IT HELPING WITH VISIBILITY?
OH, YEAH. YEAH?
YEAH.THAT'S AWESOME.
GOT IT. Carlos: ALRIGHT, MAN.
WELCOME BACK HERE TO SUCK.
GOOD JOB ON NOT GETTING STOPPED UP.
YOU USING THE TECHNIQUES I SHOWED YOU?
SEEMS TO BE HELPING OUT QUITE A BIT.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.THANK YOU.
SO I SEE A NUGGET SITTING RIGHT HERE AND I--
YOU SEEING GOLD DOWN THERE, YOU SAID?
YEAH. THIS IS AMAZING,
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF GOLD RIGHT HERE.
HOLY .
GOT IT.MAN, CARLOS?
YEAH, YEAH. WHAT'S UP, BROTHER?
I GOT A SPOT FOR YOU,
AND IT IS LOADED WITH GOLD, ALL NUGGETS.
ALL NUGGETS, HUH? YEP.
I GOTTA SEE THAT.
HOLY CRAP. THERE'S GOLD!
LOOK AT THAT.
I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING, MAN.
OH, THIS IS .
LOOK AT THAT CREASE!
I'M PICKING NUGGETS OUTTA THE BOX RIGHT NOW, BROTHER.
-COME ON! -AMAZING!
THERE'S GOLD EVERYWHERE.
THIS IS CRAZY.
WE GOT NUGS.
YOU GOT BIG ONES. LOOK AT THAT.
Wes: TODAY IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME CLEANUP, FOR SURE.
Narrator: 76-YEAR-OLD FRED HURT
HAS LESS THAN AN OUNCE OF GOLD THIS YEAR.
NOW, HE'S BETTING HIS SEASON
THAT THE BIG WATERFALL ON HIS CLAIM WILL PAY OFF.
Fred: I'M TELLING YOU. THAT WATER IS RAGING.
WOO!
Narrator: HIS MISSION -- DIVE THE POUND ZONE
THAT WAS TOO FIERCE FOR RYAN,
FIND THE CAVE,
AND DREDGE IT OUT.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND STAY IN THAT WATER
AS LONG AS I CAN STAY,
TRY TO DREDGE UP AS MUCH GOLD AS POSSIBLE.
I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT.
Kayla: YOU REALLY WANT HIM TO GO DOWN TODAY?
WE'LL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HIM AND JUST MAKE SURE,
YOU KNOW, ALL SIGNS ARE GOOD,
AND IF THEY'RE NOT,
WE'LL JERK HIM OUT OF THERE QUICK.
YOU GET TO POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T TAKE IT,
LET US KNOW BECAUSE NOT GONNA JUDGE.
I'LL GO PAST THAT POINT. I'LL MAKE SURE THAT I DO.
OH, GET OUT OF HERE!
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY THEY CALL ME
A STUBBORN OLD GOAT.
I'D LIKE HIM TO HAVE A LOOK AT THAT CAVE I FOUND.
I MEAN... IT'S REAL STRANGE DOWN THERE.
YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH CRAWL RIGHT INTO IT,
SO NO TELLING WHAT LURKS BACK IN THE DARKNESS THERE,
HOPEFULLY A BUNCH OF GOLD.
YEAH.
LET'S DO IT.
WANT TO DO SOME DREDGING?
Ryan: THAT SOUNDS PRETTY EXCITING.
IT IS THUNDERING,
AND...
I THINK THAT'S THE NAME FOR IT RIGHT THERE,
THUNDER FALLS.THUNDER FALLS.
THUNDER FALLS, THAT'S RIGHT.
I NEED TO STRAIGHTEN THE HOSE OUT.
IT'S CAUGHT UP.
Paul: RYAN, PULL AT THE DIVE HOSE,
THE UMBILICAL.
OKAY.
I THINK WE GOT IT UNDER THE HOSE.
NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT
IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION OR SOMETHING.
BOY, WILL I BE HAPPY WHEN THIS DAMN WATERFALL
SLOWS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
FRED'S UMBILICAL IS CAUGHT UNDERNEATH THE HOSE.
SO, BASICALLY, HE'S STUCK DOWN THERE
UNTIL HE CAN GET IT UNTANGLED.
COULD BE AN ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE.
IT IS KICKING ASS RIGHT HERE.
HOLY COW.
Narrator: THE DEADLY CURRENT,
POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MOVE 1/2-TON BOULDERS,
HAS TANGLED THE SUCTION HOSE
AROUND FRED'S VITAL HOT WATER AND OXYGEN SUPPLY.
HE'S DOWN THERE TRYING TO WORK ON IT.
YOU GO UNDERNEATH THE HOSE.
PULL MY DIVE HOSE.
Kayla: ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU TELL ME.
I'M OKAY.HOW YOU FEELING?
YOU ALRIGHT? YOU CATCHING YOUR BREATH?
OKAY, OKAY.
Narrator: FRED SWIMS UNDERNEATH THE SUCTION HOSE
TO FREE HIS UMBILICAL.
Fred: OH!
GOD ALMIGHTY.
WHEN I GET OUT THERE, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING
UNTIL I GET DOWN DEEPER.
COPY THAT.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO JUMP UNDERNEATH THAT WATERFALL,
AND, BOY, IS IT EVER KICKING ASS.
YEAH. YOU GOT A NICE HOLE DOWN THERE.
GETS ME OUT OF THE CURRENT ON THE SIDE HERE,
BUT IT'S GOT THESE ROCKS,
PRETTY GOOD-SIZED STUFF.
I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING
2 1/2-FOOT IN DIAMETER, AT LEAST.
ONE OF THEM IS TOO DANGEROUS TO MARK.
I'M AFRAID IT WILL ROLL IN AND PIN ME UP AGAINST THE WALL.
GOT YOU.
Narrator: FRED'S COME ACROSS AN OVERHANGING ROCK.
TO GET DOWN TO THE CAVE,
HE HAS TO REMOVE THIS WIDOW-MAKER FIRST.
THAT'S NEVER -- NEVER FUN
WHEN YOU GOT A ROCK HANGING OVER YOUR HEAD.
SO IF WE CAN GET A DRILL,
GET A BOLT IN THEM, AND GET THEM OUT,
IT'LL BE A LOT SAFER FOR THE DIVER.
Fred: HANG ON A MINUTE.
I GOT YOU A BOLT.
Narrator: FRED ATTACHES A BOLT...
TAKE THAT HAMMER FROM YOU. THERE WE GO.
OKAY.
...IN ORDER FOR KAYLA TO USE THE WINCH AND HAUL IT OUT.
Fred: PULL IT OUT NOW.
PULLING.JUST PULL.
THERE WE GO.
Narrator: THE 1,000-POUND BOULDER NOW OUT OF THE WAY,
FRED CAN SAFELY START DREDGING THE CAVE.
Fred: YEAH, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,
ABOUT THE CAVE.
GETTING DOWN INTO SOME MATERIAL HERE.
Ryan: VERY NICE.
WOW. YEAH, IT'S SOME GOOD STUFF.
SOUNDS GREAT.
WE MIGHT SEE SOME GOLD IN THE BOX TODAY.
ALRIGHT.
KEEP OPENING UP MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
Narrator: VETERAN DIVER FRED HAS SURVIVED FOUR HOURS
DREDGING IN THE POUND ZONE.
THAT CURRENT IS SOMETHING ELSE, HUH?
TELL YOU WHAT -- I THINK I'M GONNA...
I THINK I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND GET OUT.
ALRIGHT, MAN. YOU DID A GREAT JOB TODAY.
Narrator: GOLD IN THE SLUICE BOX NOW WOULD BE A SIGN
THE BEDROCK BOTTOM COULD HOLD A BIG PAYDAY.
I'M HOPING WE GOT SOME GOLD IN THE BOX.
ALRIGHT. LET'S SEE.
Carlos: YEAH. IT'S EVERYWHERE.
OH, . SOMETHING...
THIS WHOLE WALL'S FULL OF GOLD.
Narrator: AT RAINBOW'S END,
DIVER CARLOS HAS BEEN IN THE WATER FOR OVER SIX HOURS.
I'M TIRED, DUDE.
Dustin: YOU TIRED?
I'M TIRED, MAN!
I AM TIRED, TIRED, TIRED!
YOU WERE ONLY DOWN HERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
OH, REALLY?
YOU KIDDING ME? HE'S TIRED.
WHAT?!
I'M JUST PLAYING.
TIME TO COME UP.
OH, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY,
WHAT THE IS GOING ON, MAN?
SORRY. I PLAYED THAT WAY TOO DIRTY.
I WAS SAD. I WAS LIKE .
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT THIS WEEK, MAN.
Narrator: AT TWO FISH, FRED HAS COMPLETED FOUR HOURS
OF DREDGING OF THE BOTTOM OF THE 40-FOOT THUNDER FALLS.
Fred: CHECK THEM SLUICES
AND SEE HOW MUCH GOLD WE GOT IN THERE.
OH, WOW.
A LITTLE BIT RIGHT THERE.
THERE'S A PIECE LOOKING AT ME RIGHT THERE.
Paul: THERE'S TWO NICE PIECES.
ONE, TWO -- GOT ONE NICE ONE RIGHT THERE.
FRED, IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE.
Kayla: WOW! LOOK AT HOW BIG THOSE ARE.
WOW.
ONE OVER THERE.
IT'S THE BIGGEST STUFF WE'VE HAD ALL SEASON, MAN.
I MEAN, IT'S -- THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.
Narrator: FINDING PICKERS JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE IS
A SIGN THAT THE GOLD ON BEDROCK COULD BE HUGE.
AFTER MONTHS OF SMALL FINDS,
FRED'S SEASON IS FINALLY TURNING AROUND.
TODAY WAS A PRETTY GOOD DIVE DAY.
GOLD-WISE, IT WAS GREAT.
WE'RE GETTING THE BEST STUFF THAT I CAN SEE,
AND I'M A LOT MORE IMPRESSED WITH THIS
THAN I AM WITH THE LITTLE WATERFALL.
FRED TOUGHED IT OUT, PUT HIS DIVE SUIT ON,
WENT IN, AND HE KILLED IT.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MUCH GOLD ALL SEASON.
THAT'S OUR SECOND DIVE,
AND WE'VE GOT GOLD IN THE BOX.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE CHUNKY GOLD, AND NOW WE HAVE IT.
WE'RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.
NOW WE HAVE SOME BRAGGING RIGHTS AGAINST DUSTIN'S TEAM,
AND IT JUST FEELS GREAT.
ALRIGHT!
DIVER ONE IS CLEAR.
Dustin: COPY THAT.
Narrator: DIVERS CARLOS AND JAMES
HAVE COMPLETED THE LONGEST DIVE OF THE SEASON,
DREDGING MORE OF THE GOLD-RICH GRAVEL ON BEDROCK.
Dustin: DIVER UP!
LET'S GO CHECK THE SLUICE.
Dustin: WELL-DONE.
GOOD DIVE, THOUGH, MAN.
I'M GLAD YOU SAW A BUNCH OF GOLD.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT IN THE BOX.
James: THAT LIGHT
MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE DOWN THERE TODAY.
I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE GOLD.
SO, YEAH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO A BIG LOAD OF GOLD IN THE SLUICE BOX.
I'M GOING TO GO CHECK IT OUT RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S GOLD ALL OVER. EVERYWHERE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE ABANDONED THIS?
OH, MAN. WE'D BE MISSING OUT ON ALL THAT.
LOOK AT THAT.
Carlos: WOW.
GLAD WE DIDN'T GIVE UP ON THIS PLACE, MAN.
Wes: NO, MAN.
LOOK AT THAT! THAT BABY RIGHT THERE.
AW, MAN. LOOK, LOOK.
LOOK AT IT.
WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE, MAN.
Narrator: IF RAINBOW'S END CONTINUES TO DELIVER BIG GOLD,
DUSTIN COULD BE SET
FOR THE BIGGEST CLEANUP IN THREE SEASONS.
Dustin: ABOUT DAMN TIME.
WE DESERVE THIS, MAN.
IF WE GET A CLEAN-OUT LIKE THIS EVERY DAY,
COME ON, MAN.
I NEVER, EVER SEE THAT MUCH GOLD
JUST WAITING TO BE PICKED UP.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE GOING HOME TO MY WIFE
AND TELLING HER EVERY WEEKEND,
"WE'RE GETTING MORE GOLD."
IT'S GOING TO BE A WARM WINTER FOR US.
DAMN! THAT'S SOME GOOD MEDICINE, AMIGO.
I LOVE SEEING THE GOLD IN THE BOX.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
Wes: WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE IT,
WHEN YOU SEE ALL THESE NUGGETS ON THE TOP,
AND THEN TO KNOW THERE'S THIS MUCH MORE IN THE MAT STILL
THAT WE HAVEN'T GOT OUT TODAY.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
WE GOT A HANDFUL OF NUGGETS IN A DAY,
AND THAT'S JUST OFF THE TOP, JUST PICKING OFF THE TOP.
THIS IS INSANE.
THIS IS WHY WE DO THIS, RIGHT HERE.
EVERY DAY THAT WE DIG, WE PICK OUT NUGGETS.
NUGGETS!
AH!
THAT'S AWESOME.
Narrator: ON THE NEXT "GOLD RUSH: WHITE WATER"...
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WITHOUT THAT, WE'RE KINDA DEAD IN THE WATER RIGHT NOW.
Dustin: GO, GO!
WE CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL WE GOT ALL THE GOLD.
Dustin: CAN YOU BEL--
Carlos: YEAH! HELL YEAH, MAN!
OUT OF ONE HOLE, GUYS. COME ON!
Fred: I'M OUT OF AIR.
PULL ME UP!
Paul: QUICK! BRING HIM UP! BRING HIM UP!
