00:00Oh, my God, I'm way down there.
00:08That's scary, dude.
00:09He is freaking deep as hell.
00:13That's freaking burying your own grave, dude.
00:16Right now, I've decided to let James tunnel down to see if he can find a bottle.
00:25He is doing nothing to go.
00:27He can't go any deeper.
00:30I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.
00:33I'm just getting desperate at this point.
00:38Holy this is deep.
00:41Not what I wanted.
00:42That's dangerous, yeah.
00:44That's what I was afraid of.
00:47It looks like it's absolutely impossible.
00:50I don't know what to do.
00:53It would be great to get to the bottom of it, but I don't want to see anybody get injured.
00:56After digging for over three months at the wall, Dustin must make a season-defining decision.
01:06Getting dangerous.
01:08Risk the lives of his men in pursuit of the gold on bedrock, or cut his losses and run.
01:15What's going to happen is it's just going to fill in on top of him.
01:20So what you're saying is it's not safe?
01:21It's dangerous.
01:27I don't want to do this, but I'll have to.
01:30Just hang it up.
01:31This is done, done, and more done.
01:33All right, guys, I'm going to call it.
01:39Dive up.
01:39Dive up.
01:41God damn it.
01:43I'm coming up.
01:45Copy that.
01:51Oh, kick up.
01:54Good job, man.
01:57James?
01:58Yep.
01:59Diver up.
02:00Diver up.
02:01Real slow, like.
02:02Come up slow.
02:03All right.
02:12You got it.
02:18I think we're going to have to bandage ship on that one, bro.
02:22Thank you for your effort, though.
02:23I needed to know, and now I kind of do.
02:25Yeah.
02:26It's way too deep.
02:31Yeah, it's too deep.
02:33I got it.
02:34You just proved that.
02:37That's what you did.
02:39You good?
02:40Ah.
02:43I thought for sure I was going to find a bomb today.
02:46And who knows?
02:47I could have been within inches.
02:49Gosh.
02:54Gosh.
02:58We need to find gold, though.
03:02This ain't cutting it.
03:03That's way too deep.
03:10Wow.
03:11That's a thing.
03:12It's not our fault.
03:17We're trying.
03:19We're good at this.
03:21And this one's kicking our ass, so.
03:30I don't know.
03:32I don't know.
03:35I don't get that ton of gold right now.
03:37But no.
03:38We just got to dig across.
03:40It's as dumb as ever.
03:43We're not going back there anymore.
03:44That is in conclusion.
03:46That area is 100% tapped out.
03:49Too dangerous for our crew.
03:51That's it.
03:53Another race to day.
03:55I'm not having this anymore.
03:57And we're done with this dig.
03:59We're not finding gold.
04:00But it's not a lack of trying.
04:03We just dug a 20-foot hole.
04:06Why?
04:06I mean.
04:12I'm picking the bad spots for whatever reason.
04:16Nothing I've done has worked.
04:18So.
04:20I got to rethink this.
04:23It's a disaster.
04:25We're done.
04:26We're done.
04:26We're done.
04:36We actually have to hit the bottom in order to find gold.
04:52We haven't hit the bottom yet.
04:53This dig has become a nightmare for me.
04:58It took up half of my season without the show photo.
05:01There's no doubt that there's freaking gold there, man.
05:04But it's just too dangerous to get it.
05:05You know what I mean?
05:08Nobody's life is worth that.
05:10I got no hopes, bro.
05:16Not here.
05:18I'm sick of it, man.
05:21After abandoning the wall, the future of Dustin's mining career sits on a knife's edge.
05:28To pay off his mounting debts and hold on to his Nugget Creek claim, he needs gold and fast.
05:36Let's just open this up a new hole right up here.
05:40Where it's really wide?
05:42Yeah.
05:42I know we can find gold right here.
05:44I mean, so right in here would be like the start of Nugget Bend.
05:47Yeah.
05:49The guys are kind of pushing me to stay here.
05:53They want to see what's, what, 20 feet up or some nonsense.
05:58It's hard for me to plan more digging here when I'm already, my brain is already done with this dig.
06:03There's a waterfall that I'm almost certain has tons of gold in it.
06:09But truly what I want to do right now, I want to go check it out.
06:13I want to see if I can start setting it up.
06:16I want to focus all of my energy into this waterfall.
06:23At the end of last season.
06:25Now that's a waterfall, man.
06:27Dustin discovered a waterfall high on Nugget Creek, which he's convinced contains a fortune in gold.
06:36It looks like a vertical drop, which is what you want in the plunge pool.
06:42For the last four weeks.
06:45Everything we've done that we thought was dangerous is a playground compared to this.
06:50Dustin and Paul have been attempting to build the half mile of access the site needs.
06:57You know there's gold in this waterfall, but it's going to take a lot of work to get access up here.
07:02But getting this site ready for diving operations is a massive undertaking.
07:09And will cost them valuable time late in their season.
07:12Where are you looking to dig, man? For real.
07:18Try to get all the gold up the middle right there.
07:20That's where it starts to widen out.
07:22I mean, my theory about the whole thing is it's five times as wide as where we're trying to dig right now.
07:28As we go upstream, is that bedrock going to come up then?
07:31Yeah.
07:32It's going to be just like starting at Nugget Bent when we found a six-ounce nugget.
07:36We're here already, man.
07:37We can have this ready in a heartbeat.
07:39That's where we need to be digging.
07:42The crew dug to a death-defying 20 feet at the wall.
07:48Now, they're trying to convince Dustin to move 30 feet up creek to where it widens.
07:55Which should mean shallower bedrock and a jackpot that's way easier to reach.
08:01Just like Nugget Bent where they found a huge nugget worth over $50,000.
08:07I got a lot of money involved in this spot now because this one didn't pay.
08:15So, basically, we have 10 years of holes in the creek that need to pay off.
08:23Yeah.
08:23If this doesn't work out, we are going to fail in the most miserable way ever.
08:29But this straight has got to be loaded.
08:32I think so.
08:33I think it's going to be golden.
08:35Golden straights.
08:36Is that what you're going to call it?
08:37Golden straights.
08:38Well, I hope y'all are right because I'm putting a lot of eggs in this basket.
08:43Give us three to four days and we'll find out.
08:46Yeah.
08:46Well, after that, I might push y'all off.
08:50I hope they hit the bottom and they find a ton of gold.
08:53That's my hopes and dreams.
08:55We're more than halfway through the season now and we dunk one hole with no gold.
09:01Not okay.
09:02This might be our last chance.
09:05This might be it.
09:07I'll give these guys 8 to 10 feet.
09:108 to 10 feet.
09:11If there's no bedrock and no gold, they're out of here.
09:16At first light, the crew make the 13-mile journey to civilization to collect vital reinforcements
09:33in their quest for gold.
09:40I'm back, Carlos.
09:42Yeah, you're back.
09:44Here to save the day.
09:46I'm pretty exhausted, though.
09:50I got my ass kicked back at home trying to rescue my house.
09:59Just a week after joining Dustin's crew...
10:02Devastating.
10:04...his long-term girlfriend, Danielle, was forced to return to Juneau to battle flash floods
10:10that threatened their home.
10:12There's so much water down here.
10:15I'm just standing over the pump.
10:19If I wouldn't have gone, my house would have been underwater.
10:24Hey, guys.
10:31Hey, you made it back.
10:33We need your help.
10:35To stand any chance of finding the gold they need to ensure their future on Nugget Creek,
10:42Dustin urgently needs a fourth diver on his crew.
10:45Let's see about...
10:47We're going to try to dodge, right?
10:50What if we do a test?
10:51A test for me?
10:52Yes.
10:53Just put her in.
10:54She's here to help us.
10:56So, what do you say?
10:57Yeah, I just want to get in the water.
11:01We were also thinking that it would be a good starter for you to see how you do, uh, instead
11:07of a 20-foot dive with death overhangs.
11:09Yeah.
11:09No fun.
11:10Yeah, I didn't want you down there.
11:12That's not a bad idea.
11:13All right, let's get out of debt.
11:15Suit up.
11:15Today's going to be Danielle's first dive day, ever.
11:20In my soul, I don't want this to happen.
11:22I'm bringing my loved one out, the person I love the most in life, and I'm putting her
11:26in the most dangerous situation you could possibly put a human.
11:30I don't want her to get injured or hurt.
11:32I don't like that this is happening, but it's a necessity at this point is what I feel like.
11:37We need some help.
11:39I'm finally getting in the water, which is what I came here to do, is to dive to help
11:44relieve the guys from diving day after day.
11:48How did the first time you dove in whitewater make you feel versus diving in the ocean?
11:55All the dives that I did in the ocean never prepared me for this whitewater at five feet.
12:00It was scary, but just maintain the calm.
12:03Yeah.
12:04So did you freak out on your first dive?
12:05No, you can't freak out, man.
12:14I know myself, and I'll feel nervous until I actually do it.
12:23Are you ready to pull the dress board?
12:25I don't see why not.
12:27Along with 20 years' experience in the construction industry, Danielle is also a qualified ocean diver.
12:34But this will be her first time ever in whitewater.
12:46Should I suit up, or am I waiting a little bit?
12:49Everything we're doing, we're going to have to do a lot of checks and all that stuff, so why don't you get suited up?
12:54Hey, are you going to put Paul in there first to pave the way?
12:58No, you're going to put her first first?
13:00We're going to suit her up, and she's going to be ahead of it.
13:02Okay, copy that.
13:04Here I go.
13:06All right.
13:15Ah!
13:17I only got one hand.
13:19A hand is killing me, dude.
13:22This sucks, trying to work like this.
13:26I'll bend a little bit, but not too much.
13:29It does suck, though.
13:30I want my hand back.
13:34Us can't have it yet.
13:37We'll get there.
13:41Plan is, let her take some of the heavier water.
13:43It's a little bit fast for your first time, but shallow.
13:46Let's go ahead and piss Danielle off to start off with.
13:49Frustrate her.
13:51So, it's just gumption.
13:52Like, how much grit do you have to keep this going?
13:56That's it.
13:59To get Danielle up to speed and add a fourth diver to his crew as quickly as possible,
14:06Dustin starts her dive in the roughest section of the creek.
14:10I'm still feeling kind of nervous, but I just want to get in the water and, you know, get
14:16rid of those butterflies in my belly.
14:22Make sure your hair peels all the way back the best you can.
14:28Better.
14:29Don't lean your head back again.
14:30All right, we're going to pull you tight.
14:37It's going to be uncomfortable.
14:40How's that?
14:46Reach back with your right hand.
14:48Grab that umbilical.
14:50You're in control of it now.
14:51Now, you're going to walk out there to the nozzle.
14:59So, what you want to do is get that basket.
15:01We're going to get a basket close to you.
15:03And you'll pick up every rock that doesn't go in the nozzle and it goes in the basket.
15:09Get it?
15:13So, it's like hard to push against the current.
15:17Make yourself a hole.
15:18Make yourself a hole.
15:19It's really tough in the beginning.
15:21We all went through it.
15:24I can barely do this far right now.
15:36It kind of feels impossible.
15:49Start yourself a hole so you can lay down in this water.
15:53You hear me?
15:55This kind of feels impossible.
15:58At Nugget Creek.
16:00Just get used to it.
16:01To stand any chance of hitting bedrock gold before the end of the season.
16:06The courage is going to keep kicking your butt, all right?
16:12Dustin's counting on long-term partner Danielle to earn her spot on the crew as a fourth diver.
16:18And he's thrown her in at the deep end.
16:21And he's thrown her in at the deep end.
16:23She's in that pound zone.
16:25She is getting the full effect of a freaking washing machine.
16:32There's no certificate in the world that can get you ready for this.
16:36None.
16:37We just want to let her do this for a little bit by herself.
16:40Suit up.
16:41Let's go out there and do a lesson.
16:47So, it's like hard to push against the current.
16:54Right now, she's figuring out how hard this job really is.
16:58This is the moment where she's like, they do this all day?
17:02Every day?
17:05Hey, James, get her back over to the hole, please.
17:08If anybody looks at this and says, oh, I'd do it so much better, jump in this damn water.
17:17Come find out.
17:19Most people can't handle this.
17:22There you go.
17:23Yeah.
17:24I feel like I can't move in here.
17:27Ah.
17:28Ah.
17:30Would it be easier to land it?
17:32No wonder.
17:33See what you got.
17:34I know she's a certified diver, but she's never been in white water.
17:47I don't know if she's actually had a full face mask.
17:50So, this is a little bit new for her.
17:52It's going to be very claustrophobic for her time.
17:54Ready to get in?
18:05Here we go.
18:06Dive in!
18:07What does it feel like to you?
18:22It's just...
18:23Every time I start working, I just feel like I can't breathe, right?
18:30Oh.
18:33Just relax for a second.
18:35You're doing great.
18:36She's working hard.
18:38She's breathing.
18:39Heavy.
18:47You've got to calm down.
18:48This is a marathon, not a sprint.
18:51Relax.
18:51You've got all day.
18:53All day.
18:58It's like breathing in the goddamn paper bag, man.
19:01You're going to freaking, like...
19:02You're going to pass out.
19:03And it sounds silly.
19:05How can somebody get in trouble at three feet of water?
19:08I've seen it happen.
19:09It's when you freak out.
19:10And when you start hyper-vinylating and you're not getting all oxygen, you're done for.
19:15Way harder than I thought it would be.
19:19What do you think?
19:23She could quit?
19:24She wouldn't quit by now.
19:25It's the worst job in the world, man.
19:30I don't know if I'm going to be any good at this.
19:33You mean you're not pro first day?
19:36Look, you're just struggling and tired.
19:38Just keep at it.
19:40See how it goes.
19:42Hey, Paul.
19:43Yeah.
19:43Is there any way she can join you in that dig you're doing right there?
19:47Because she's getting hit with so much white water, it's just putting a stop to it.
19:52Hey, make a swap.
19:53Your legs will feel wobbly.
19:58You're going to be tired.
20:00Got a deep little hole right there.
20:02Yeah.
20:02Yeah, it's nice to calm there.
20:04Right there.
20:04There you go.
20:11That's good breathing.
20:24My left hand is getting swollen as hell, even on the poem.
20:29That's new.
20:30I'm complaining about it quite a bit, but it's still going.
20:36Hands.
20:37I've been swollen up on the inside.
20:40I've never seen that before.
20:53Over the next four hours...
20:55Damn, y'all are just down there now.
21:00That's so much better.
21:04They're making damn good progress, man.
21:08Danielle knuckles down and dredges three feet deep at the Golden Straits.
21:14Somewhere in there, that's pretty good for our first dive, man.
21:18It's really good.
21:20Hey, I think that's a long enough dive for your first time.
21:24How about you come on up?
21:26Okay.
21:28I'm not arguing.
21:29What do you want me to do?
21:34My legs don't work.
21:39I know.
21:41Welcome back to gravity.
21:48How are you feeling?
21:50Not so fresh.
21:51Good job.
21:52You killed it.
21:53I don't know about that.
21:54You did great.
21:55You did really good.
21:56That was ridiculous.
21:57That's the best.
21:57You guys are ridiculous.
22:00That was like being thrown into the gates of hell.
22:05It's really hard, especially right from the start.
22:08But once I got under the water a little bit, it was so much better, for sure.
22:13That was a lot of work.
22:14These guys are impressive.
22:15You did about a four-foot hole on her first dive, in white water.
22:23Yeah.
22:24My girlfriend's a badass.
22:25That's what's up.
22:32Up ahead.
22:32We're running out of time, so we need some gold.
22:36We're past midway in the season right now.
22:38This could be the end of us.
22:41Got to get a hole again.
22:42Find them nothing.
22:44Got to keep digging.
22:45What did you get?
22:47Oh, my God!
22:48Danielle, had a good dive yesterday.
23:02Got a butt kicked a little bit.
23:03How do you feel?
23:05I didn't feel like it was a great dive, but I survived.
23:09You didn't quit, so that's...
23:10Yeah, well, I didn't hesitate to get out as soon as he asked me to.
23:13So, I did a lot of rock moving, guys, and I didn't sleep all night.
23:19My hand is swollen in a way that is freaking me out a little bit.
23:23It actually swole on the inside of the palm.
23:27I saw that yesterday.
23:28You showed that to me.
23:29It puffed up so damn big.
23:30It throbbed all night.
23:32It was just pounding.
23:34It's getting to our next level, and there's nothing in town here that can help me.
23:38It feels like I did something permanent, because it's on fire.
23:43At the start of the season, Dustin tore a tendon in his hand while setting up their Skyline police system.
23:57It hurts so bad.
24:02Since then, he's been relying on a homemade brace to prevent further injury.
24:08I've got to channel my inner Fred.
24:11Just put some tape on it, keep going.
24:16It's not getting any time to heal, because you're just overworking it still.
24:19That's true.
24:20Well, I'm going to go get it checked out.
24:22So I made an appointment in Seattle, and I'm going to head out of here.
24:27And you guys are going to be on your own.
24:29I need some information, some more information on this thing.
24:33That's better if you do it now.
24:34You're not really replaceable.
24:35So Danielle's in charge.
24:37No, I'm just joking.
24:39Don't put that pressure on me.
24:41So yeah, I'm going to get out of here, and I need y'all to find some damn gold, for real.
24:46Like, it looks promising where y'all are digging right now.
24:50I think so, too.
24:50We're running out of time, so we need some gold.
24:53So, you guys ready to go dive?
24:55Yep.
24:55Yep.
24:55All right.
24:55We've got our plan.
24:56Let's do it.
24:57Oh, yeah, yeah.
25:01Sucks that I have to go, but this is what it is.
25:04We're past midway in the season right now, and we still haven't found gold.
25:08So, this could be the end of us.
25:22We've got to get some gold.
25:24The season's flying by.
25:26We have nothing to show for it.
25:27Today's the day.
25:29Today's the day.
25:29You guys need a pick-me-up, especially Dustin.
25:34The crew face an ultimatum.
25:36To convince Dustin to hold off on the time-consuming move to the waterfall, they must find bedrock
25:44or gold within 10 feet.
25:51I'm going to dig like a maniac.
25:53Hopefully I can get some gold today in the box.
25:56Hey, gents.
25:57All right.
25:58You got your fingers in all the holes?
26:03All right.
26:04Okay.
26:04Walk and roll.
26:14Ask what you can do, man.
26:19Hey, Danielle.
26:21Give me a basket right here.
26:24Where's this update?
26:24Well, Dustin, this is Seattle.
26:32I want to do something amazing today, like grab some gold at the bar and come up with it.
26:39James.
26:40He fills them fast.
26:42Damn.
26:45Pull out the nice rock, James.
26:46Good deal.
26:47We've got to get some gold.
26:53You know, I think right now, James is definitely in beast mode.
26:56He is so driven to find the gold that he moves some amazing-sized rocks.
27:03It's now a race to get down to what they hope is shallow bedrock as fast as possible,
27:11where the monster nuggets they need to ensure their futures may have settled.
27:17And over the next four hours of hard dredging,
27:26I feel my stomach muscles stay.
27:28They're down to almost six feet deep, heading towards the bedrock.
27:36Hold on a second.
27:40What are you seeing down there?
27:42I can't believe this.
28:12At the Golden Straits, James and Carlos may be close to proving their theory.
28:24They've hit hard pack at just six feet,
28:28usually the last layer before hitting bedrock and a jackpot in gold.
28:33Yeah.
28:35It's all nice hard pack, and it's going down,
28:38and there's a red rock down below the deepest point right here.
28:41You want to go ahead and get out?
28:44You've had a pretty good dive today.
28:46Got to get a hole again.
28:47Find them nuggets.
28:49Got to keep digging.
28:50We need to clear out this mess.
28:52Get back down to gold.
28:54How's it going down there, guys?
29:02How deep are you?
29:05A hundred feet.
29:08Well, they said a hundred feet, but I know they're pulling my leg.
29:11They're making a hole.
29:12I love it.
29:12Determined to break through the hard pack to reach gold,
29:21James and Carlos push into their sixth hour underwater.
29:27James, you starting to get tired?
29:29I can hear he's starting to labor right now,
29:35so it's time to get him out.
29:37Need a hand?
29:40You did awesome.
29:41Give me a second.
29:42I weigh like 400 pounds.
29:44I know.
29:45That's how I fell yesterday.
29:49How you doing, my friend?
29:51I'm tired.
29:57Is there anything in the box?
29:59I'm looking at one.
30:01I didn't see anything in this one.
30:07Nothing?
30:09I don't visibly see a speck.
30:12I don't know what to say.
30:14I mean, I'm not going to try to be negative about anything.
30:17I'm just going to continue to work.
30:23But what I'm not enjoying is not getting gold,
30:25because this is a problem.
30:35Is that gold or is that pyrite?
30:36That's gold, isn't it?
30:44That could be gold.
30:46It's been so long since we've seen any,
30:48I don't remember.
30:48It looks like it.
30:49What did you get?
30:53A little piece of gold.
30:54Holy crap.
30:55What?
30:56Oh, my God.
30:58Yeah!
30:59Pain goes away, bro.
31:03That's a start.
31:05I got goosebumps.
31:07That just means we're on the right path.
31:10Hey, that's our first gold at the Straits.
31:11That makes me happy.
31:13That makes me happy because we dug probably 20 feet right there,
31:17and there was nothing.
31:17After striking out for over two months,
31:22the first gold from the Golden Straits is a much-needed morale boost.
31:27That means getting a call home to my senorita and say,
31:32hey, yeah, this is not a waste of time.
31:35We're getting gold.
31:36The first thing I can tell her how big it is,
31:38just gold is gold.
31:40You know what I mean?
31:41Just one little picker is enough to bring everybody's spirits up.
31:45Whoever gets to the bottom first,
31:46whoever sees the bedrock,
31:48they're going to get the glory of finding some good nuggets.
31:50So the race is on.
31:57You guys are going to find more gold today.
32:02Yeah, because y'all got down at the hard pack.
32:04Hopefully. That's the plan.
32:05And Dustin is not here,
32:07and he trusts you guys with my life.
32:09So remember that.
32:11Jeez, thank you for that.
32:14I'm definitely excited to dive today,
32:15especially after seeing that little flake of gold yesterday.
32:17So hopefully, while Dustin's in Seattle getting his hand worked on,
32:21we can put a lot of gold in the box.
32:23It's all on you, Danielle.
32:25My life is all on you, Carlos.
32:28Let's get to diving.
32:31Don't let these be my last words.
32:33Oh, stop!
32:34Oh, you guys.
32:42It's down to Danielle and Paul
32:48to hopefully chase the gold down to bedrock
32:52and a pile of monster nuggets.
32:56Feeling a little nervous still.
32:58I'm going to take a little bit more time
33:00once I get in the water, I think,
33:02and just adjust.
33:04I thought I would have that first dive,
33:07but it was just too rough.
33:09I'm just going to get in and get my breathing down
33:12and then see what I can get done.
33:15Got a good dive site.
33:17Starting to get on the gold.
33:18I think it's going to be a golden day today.
33:23Yep, absolutely.
33:26There you go.
33:29Yeah, rock and roll.
33:30They're good.
33:31The season's running out.
33:42Dustin wants to move.
33:44All of us collectively
33:46have to work that much harder
33:48and dive maybe that much longer.
33:52I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up.
33:54I don't want to let him down.
33:55I don't want to let anybody down.
33:56When the boss is away,
34:13we might go play.
34:16You think we'll be doing that
34:17when Dustin's here?
34:18No.
34:18Oh, my gosh.
34:24Woo!
34:24Got a James Pinata
34:27on the way back.
34:28Let's take a look
34:29out of the water real quick.
34:30Don't tell Dustin.
34:31You're going to get me in trouble.
34:33Welcome aboard
34:34the Nugget Express Basket.
34:37One way to make me happy.
34:49I got your basket inbound, Daniel.
34:51I got your basket inbound, Daniel.
34:54I got your basket inbound.
35:09There's also some big rocks
35:11that I'm still working on right here.
35:15They're just kind of like everywhere.
35:17I'm almost full in a basket, I think.
35:22I need a headache ball.
35:26Danielle's been kicking ass.
35:30That's amazing.
35:30This is only her second dive in this creek,
35:32so that's the fastest way to learn,
35:34having to do what she's having to do,
35:37sling rocks, load baskets.
35:39That's a good learning lesson for her right now.
35:45Good basket.
35:46Good basket.
35:48Woo, first basket done, and that was in five minutes.
35:54Perfect.
35:55That's what we like to see.
35:57Basket come out every five minutes.
36:00She's gonna earn chow and sleep tonight.
36:05All right, Danielle, call is headed your way.
36:09Watch out for the big splash.
36:14All right, guys, let's fight for gold.
36:16Oh, yeah.
36:30Look at this, it's starting to come up.
36:32All right.
36:33Dude, that's the hard stuff I was in yesterday.
36:35Yeah, but it's got, uh, it's got granite rock stuck in it.
36:40Hard pack.
36:41I like to call it prehistoric concrete.
36:45Thousands upon thousands of years it takes to make something like this.
36:48Once you get to this, once you get to this, no one's been to the gold yet.
36:52This is a safety seal, man.
36:53Look at that.
36:57Danielle and Paul grind out the next four hours, breaking through hard pack,
37:02and get down to around eight feet.
37:05Looking at it like this, so far I'm at least a foot and a half down into this hard pack.
37:12So this dive is going flawlessly, man.
37:16They're getting dirty red water, and that's what we're looking for.
37:20Red water means they're digging in iron-rich material, a good sign they're close to gold.
37:32Diver one up.
37:33Diver one up.
37:36All right, Danielle.
37:38I'm going to pull up on your unbilliple.
37:39Just break it through the hard pack, and she's getting the rocks up.
37:46Definitely, definitely great progress.
37:50All right, Paul.
37:51You're good to go.
37:51You're free, amigo.
37:52Good job, man.
37:59Is that just a rock?
38:00It's hard to see from here.
38:01I can't get to it.
38:03Pull this up.
38:08What's that?
38:08Look at that.
38:09It's a little nub.
38:12Look what you found.
38:14That's really cool.
38:16That's what gold looks like.
38:19Danielle got herself a picker.
38:20Oh, yeah.
38:21That's pretty cool.
38:22That's a nice one.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24I'm getting the gold.
38:26Yeah.
38:27Second dive.
38:29Your first picker.
38:31I feel giddy.
38:33I feel just...
38:34Pickle pink.
38:37Danielle got her first gold.
38:38That is frickin' awesome.
38:40I knew once we moved up, got away from the wall, got in the Golden Straits, that we're just
38:44going to start getting on gold, and we're starting to get on gold.
38:47Wait till Dustin hears about it.
38:49Yeah, I can't wait to tell them.
38:50After months of disappointment, the crew are finally on the gold, and with two chunks in
38:59their first three dives, this should be enough to convince Dustin the Golden Straits contain
39:05the payday that will save his claim.
39:08If I didn't have gold fever this morning, I do now.
39:15It's a little nugget of hope.
39:18That's our name of the game.
39:21Gold!
39:21Gold!
39:22Gold!
39:22Gold!
39:22Woooo!
39:23On the season ahead...
39:30We are out of money.
39:33It's bad.
39:35So we're running out of season.
39:41If I don't go to where it's paying, if I don't go to where it's paying, I could lose everything.
39:48Whoa!
39:49Get out of there!
39:51That's the waterfall.
39:54This could be all the gold that we ever need, ever.
39:58Look, look, look, look, look, right here!
40:00This is a Russian roulette fight, bro.
40:03I want to live to enjoy gold.
40:05I don't want to die getting it.
40:08All right, Danielle?
40:09I'm having trouble.
40:10I'm freaking out.
40:12I don't know if you're just afraid of being down there or there's an actual problem.
40:17This could be all the gold that we ever need, ever.
40:21And we might skip over it because there's a couple of rocks over ahead.
40:24Is it worth the risk of somebody losing their life?
40:27I couldn't do it.
40:28I'm going to have to say no.
40:29Make no mistake.
40:30That's what this is.
40:31It's a mutiny.
40:32When your crew refuses to do the job.
40:38So the weather changed on us and it doesn't look great.
40:41It's like a ticking time bomb.
40:44Hey!
40:45We need to get the out of here!
40:47Turn that off!
40:48Turn it off!
40:49We got two rules here.
40:50Yeah.
40:51Don't get hurt.
40:52Don't die.
40:55We want to feel successful.
40:58Don't go down in history as the dumbest damn miners ever created on earth.
41:03Oh my God.
41:07What is it?
41:08Holy .
41:09I don't think so.
41:11Did you find gold?
41:13No!
41:14No!
41:15No!
41:16No!
41:17I don't think so.
41:18Why's the truth?
41:19No!
41:20No!
41:21No!
41:22No!
41:23No!
41:24No!
41:25Yeah!
41:26No!
41:27No!
41:29No!
41:30No!
41:31No!
41:32No!
41:33No!
41:34Can they get hurt?
41:35No!
41:36No!!!
41:37No!
