00:00Last season on Dead Man's Curse.

00:03This is a 130-year search for a legendary lost gold mine.

00:07If you find that gold, it'll change your life.

00:11Everything is pointing east to Harrison Lake.

00:13This might be the missing piece of why nobody's found the mine yet.

00:17They're looking in the one lake.

00:19Oral history tells us that people from Harrison Lake directed Slumac to the gold.

00:24He went up, up, up, up, and there it was.

00:28The nuggets are good.

00:29There's a trail between Pitt and Harrison.

00:31Anyone coming from the Pitt would have come through here.

00:34Oh, that's insane.

00:35Oh, we got pictographs.

00:36Spanish on the Harrison.

00:38Spanish.

00:39Spanish made a mine there?

00:41Who says Slumac didn't come across it?

00:43Just like the clues state.

00:45We have a landslide that's covered the opening of the mine.

00:49We have golden boulders colored right through.

00:52The legend of the lost Spanish mine and the legend of Slumac both point here.

00:56Winter's rolling in.

00:57Which means storms.

01:01We have less than a day to figure this out.

01:03If we're going to find something, we need to find it now.

01:05Look at those boulders.

01:07The heck?

01:08Where are we?

01:10Oh, my God.

01:13Adam!

01:13We've found it!

01:16Look at this!

01:17Hello?

01:17And now, the legend continues.

01:29This ain't just a mine.

01:32It's a gold mine.

01:34Oh, man.

01:36Look at this place.

01:40When was the last time someone was in here, man?

01:43I've been searching for this thing for 20 years, and here I am, walking into it.

01:47I don't see that.

02:02Oh, man.

02:02It's that log.

02:03It's so old, it's rotting right through the middle.

02:05I ain't doing nothing anymore.

02:07Just be careful, man.

02:08This whole thing could come down right here, bro.

02:13You know it's old right away by the smell, by the feel, by the sound.

02:16This could be hundreds of years old.

02:20Still more passage.

02:22I think it's huge.

02:26Oh, look at all that rust.

02:28This looks good, man.

02:29See what they were chasing right here?

02:32This is scraps of it.

02:33You can see some of the scraped tool marks here, too.

02:35That means that we're using hand tools.

02:38This is all done by hand chisels, hammers, manual labor, right into the side of the mound.

02:43This is way too much work for one man.

02:47Even with the equipment I have today, it would have taken me a lifetime.

02:51I mean, this is old.

02:52This is far older than Slumac.

02:54Somebody had to do it before Slumac.

02:57In my opinion, I think he came across a Spanish mind.

03:01This is a big vein.

03:03Think about that.

03:03If we got it from here all the way to here, we're talking a good four feet at least.

03:09Probably an extra foot on each side.

03:10That means we're literally standing in an old quartz vein.

03:14The legend of the lost Spanish mind and the legend of Slumac both point here.

03:18This could be where Slumac found his gold.

03:22That's a good piece.

03:23You see right here, we got the quartz.

03:25We got that thin black iron line, and then we got all this sulfur here.

03:28But you know what's next to sulfur?

03:30Gold?

03:31That's right.

03:32So imagine how much quartz was here.

03:34This was wall-to-wall quartz vein.

03:36Never finding this much here.

03:37Imagine what's down at the end.

03:39Let's keep going.

03:40Oh, it keeps going, dude.

03:49This is a good find.

03:54There's a split up here.

03:58Where do we go?

04:01Oh.

04:04Going that way?

04:05It's down that way.

04:0950-50.

04:10Let's go right.

04:11I like our odds.

04:13Let's keep going.

04:16Oh.

04:17Oh, the ceiling's coming down.

04:20Man, be careful.

04:20We don't even have helmets.

04:22Nobody even knows we're here, dude.

04:26Oh, man, it's getting tight.

04:27Adam, this is looking sketchy.

04:31Dead end.

04:33Oh, man.

04:34This is the last.

04:35This ain't stable, bro.

04:36Look at this.

04:36This part collapsed.

04:37The whole ceiling collapsed right here.

04:40See how low?

04:40Look how low this is.

04:42Yeah.

04:42See the ceiling compared to the floor?

04:44Yeah.

04:44I mean, look, man.

04:45It's falling from the ceiling everywhere here.

04:48Not, not, not while I'm here, man.

04:49Come on.

04:49We're already in the back of the mine.

04:51Let's get out of here.

04:52Let's go to the next one.

04:54Ow!

04:55Ed, smack right in.

04:57Watch yourself, man.

04:59Let's go check out the other one.

05:09Oh, whoa, dude.

05:12What the hell?

05:13Oh, we got a little bit of a blockage here.

05:15The whole thing came down.

05:16Can you see back?

05:18It keeps going.

05:20This is old.

05:21Like, look.

05:22It's rotting from the inside.

05:24It's like pulp.

05:26Look at that.

05:27It's like slime.

05:29Well, this is all the shoring.

05:30It's collapsed.

05:31In one spot?

05:32I think somebody put this here.

05:34When I'm panning, if I hit a hot spot and I gotta go,

05:37I cover it back up with some rock so at least nobody knows where I was at.

05:41What if somebody did that with this?

05:43Like, think about it.

05:44Look how this is stacked, man.

05:45Like, things don't collapse together like this.

05:49I don't like this.

05:51We should get out of here.

05:53There's the weather coming in.

05:54We're getting picked up on a boat.

05:55It's a long, steep hike down to the lake.

05:57We don't get out now.

05:59We're stuck here.

06:01Move a couple out.

06:02No, I wouldn't.

06:02Let's see if we can get through at least.

06:03I wouldn't move anything.

06:06It's gonna come down on you.

06:08See, I told you.

06:08It's right there.

06:10Right there around that corner.

06:11You can see the vein going right through there.

06:13You've got the mineral zone.

06:14Go through this stuff.

06:15You're not coming out.

06:15So you want to quit?

06:17No, I'm not saying that.

06:17I'm just saying we come back.

06:19Finding this mine requires a little bit more preparation, a little bit more gear, and we

06:23don't have the time right now.

06:25What if somebody else gets here first?

06:26No one's gonna get here.

06:28In a couple days, in these mountains, there's usually 10 feet of snow on the ground, and

06:32that's it.

06:32These mountains are buried in snow.

06:35You don't want to wait a whole year to come back to just see what's around that corner.

06:38This is something we've been waiting for our whole lives.

06:40We can get through here.

06:41We didn't come here for nothing, dude.

06:43Look.

06:46Okay, okay, okay.

06:47Okay.

06:48Come on, let's go.

06:51To go this far and stop is unacceptable.

06:58I'm disappointed that we have to turn around, but we found it.

07:04We know where it is.

07:05We can come back.

07:07This is gonna take a little bit more preparation and a lot more gear.

07:11There's other prospectors looking for this gold, too.

07:14Time is of the essence.

07:17But, I mean, come on.

07:18We found a freaking gold mine, bro.

07:21So, I mean, at the end of the day, as long as we can get back first, that's all that matters.

07:28We found it.

07:43You found it?

07:47We found it.

07:48The legend says, somewhere out there is a creek full of gold nuggets.

07:55Slumac's gold.

07:57When Slumac was hanged, he uttered a curse.

07:59When I die, the mind dies.

08:02A death sentence to anyone that tries to find his gold.

08:05The thing about this curse, the more you look into it, the realer it gets.

08:09I'm the great-great-grandniece of Slumac, and it's my responsibility to find out what's truth and what's fiction in this legend.

08:18If the gold was easily accessible, there would be no legends.

08:22There's no better motivation than gold.

08:24Oh, my God, dude!

08:25I'm getting excited.

08:26On Seabird Island, spring has officially sprung.

08:37The lost mine is here.

08:42It's not lost anymore.

08:45We're going back.

08:46We really could be looking at the source of Slumac's gold.

08:50Spring is here, and we can't wait.

08:53Let's keep it real.

08:53We found it, we know where it's at, and now we've got to get it before someone else does.

08:58So what did you see in there?

09:00It's old.

09:01It doesn't look like anyone's been in there in hundreds of years.

09:03If you want to see what it looks like, you've got shots.

09:06Look at this.

09:07That's why nobody found it.

09:08Yeah, you can't even tell the entrance right there.

09:09It looked like half the mountain collapsed on it.

09:12But look what they did.

09:13You see that mining technique?

09:14Yeah.

09:15There's no modern tech.

09:16It was hand-picked.

09:17And you can see it.

09:18Modern tech, there'd be proper ventilation shafts, they'd be drilling.

09:22All this top would be chipped off.

09:24And look at this.

09:27Jeez.

09:27That's the problem.

09:29There's something behind that that we need to figure out.

09:32Yeah, it's either collapsed or it's been purposely blocked.

09:36I mean, it looks like a barricade to me.

09:38That doesn't just happen.

09:39Somebody constructed that purposely for a reason.

09:41The shoring up on this passageway could be one of two things.

09:45Either it's a blockade or it could be a trap.

09:48That is what Spanish are notorious for.

09:51This is a death trap.

09:53BC's hidden history of gold suggests secret Spanish exploration inland.

09:58And, as documented throughout the American Southwest, a quest for gold marked by symbols and protected

10:05by traps designed to kill.

10:10Every single step you take in there could be your last.

10:13So this thing is completely blocked off.

10:15How are we going to get past this blockade?

10:17Well, I got a plan.

10:19You're going to like this one.

10:20Oh, my gosh.

10:23An RC car?

10:25Oh.

10:28I took an RC car from a kid's bedroom.

10:30We're going to send this truck past the barricade.

10:32My kid will never know his RC car is missing.

10:34I'll have it back before bedtime.

10:36We mount a camera here.

10:37We mount a camera there.

10:38It's remote controlled.

10:40We'll see exactly what it sees.

10:42How are we going to get there this time?

10:43I don't really want to go over that glacier again.

10:45I know I got a shortcut.

10:47Heard that before.

10:48It's not short, but it cuts off a lot of times, so it's kind of a shortcut.

10:53I'll show you.

10:54We boat up the lake.

10:55We get off at this creek, follow that creek up and over, and the mine is right there.

11:01Yeah, it sounds simple on paper.

11:03We just got to cross that one little creek there, and then we're home free.

11:07So what do we need for gear?

11:09Everything.

11:11Oh, jeez.

11:12We just showed up with flashlights last time.

11:15We weren't ready.

11:16But this is a whole new day.

11:18We're going to go back and do it the right way.

11:20We have tons of rope and also a snake cam.

11:25XRF gun.

11:26It's going to tell us what mineral content is in that rock.

11:30This is definitely high-tech gear.

11:32The team moves north, 23 kilometers up Harrison Lake, to Adam's access point, and shortcut to the mine.

11:54We're back, baby.

12:02Yeah, this is perfect right here.

12:06Beautiful.

12:07You got this.

12:15Easy, crew.

12:17Yeah.

12:18How are we going to do this?

12:19Very carefully.

12:20Why do we need this bag full of rope?

12:27We'll find out soon enough.

12:29I can hear rapids.

12:31We can get down this way.

12:32Okay.

12:32Oh, my gosh.

12:36What is that, man?

12:37That ain't no creek.

12:41Oh.

12:42Whoa.

12:43It's a long way down, bro.

12:44Adam, why are you taking us this way?

12:54If you find a better way, let me know.

12:57Deep in the mountains of Harrison Lake.

13:00This is a shortcut, but it's a quick way to die.

13:04The route to the mine finds a bump in the road.

13:08Let's just take a look, see if we can get across.

13:10We gotta find a place to get down.

13:13Ooh, it's so slick, bro.

13:14Watch out.

13:17Don't go forward anymore.

13:18This is just straight down.

13:19Like, for real, for real.

13:21That's an understatement.

13:28This is so treacherous, especially, you know, now that it's wet, eh?

13:33Yeah, now that it's so slick.

13:42This looks like a death trap, man.

13:45Could we cross somewhere else?

13:47I don't think it's gonna get better than this.

13:49You know, I brought the team this far, so it's my responsibility to get them across.

13:53Tyrolean Traverse.

13:54That way you guys don't have to climb up.

13:56A what?

13:56Tyrolean Traverse method of using pulleys and ropes to get yourself freely across a gap.

14:03We anchor here.

14:04I take the ropes across.

14:06Once I get them across, anchor on the other side, and then you come across.

14:10You gotta get across before the storm blows in.

14:13You feel it.

14:13Like, seriously.

14:14Oh, you can feel it.

14:15Smells like rain.

14:16It's gonna be one hell of an ice bath, bro.

14:25That's glacier fat.

14:27Thanks for pointing that out.

14:28All right, let's do this.

14:30Step one.

14:32Gear up.

14:32Can I get down there?

14:33Pass this to me, Jake.

14:35Ready?

14:37All right, man.

14:38Last chance.

14:40You sure this is the only way?

14:42Yep.

14:42I'll pass it to crew.

14:45So you're gonna take both ends, and we're gonna feed it to you, eh?

14:49Don't let it get caught on anything.

14:51We're gonna set up the red rope as the traverse line, and the green rope we'll use as rappelling.

15:04Adam.

15:04Ready?

15:05Yep.

15:07All right, this is it.

15:10Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

15:12How's he doing?

15:13Yeah!

15:14You did, you did.

15:16Good.

15:19Okay?

15:20I can hear him.

15:20He's moving.

15:21I can hear him, yeah.

15:24That's crazy.

15:26Down across.

15:27Way to take it like a chill.

15:29So I have to climb up this canyon wall and build an anchor for the traverse line.

15:33It's, it's rubbing on that rock.

15:35Adam!

15:37Before you start climbing, you want to clear this rope?

15:39Because I don't want it to bunch you up when you're part way.

15:41Okay, okay, so I'm gonna bring the rope over the front of the rock here.

15:46Damn.

15:53Damn it.

15:54We got a bit of a rat's nest here, crew.

15:56Okay, I got a little slack here.

15:58Awesome, Taylor.

15:59Welcome.

16:00There we go.

16:01There we go.

16:03Yes!

16:04He's clear.

16:05He's got lots of lead.

16:06Just keep it tight.

16:07Right on.

16:08We all good?

16:09Yeah.

16:10All right.

16:10He doesn't have a safety line on him either.

16:20Nothing's safe about what he's doing right now.

16:22This is actually the most dangerous part.

16:23It's just soloing up this rock that's super slippery, super wet.

16:27If I fall, I'm gonna crack my head.

16:30All right, he's about to do the big push.

16:32That rope's heavy.

16:34The rope's totally soaked.

16:35It's hella heavy.

16:36I have the rope attached to me.

16:39The current of the river is pulling the rope down.

16:43In three, two, one, here it comes.

16:50Yeah!

16:51Yeah!

16:53Woo!

16:54Good one.

16:56Just let me know when he needs slack, please.

16:59No, you're feeding him.

17:00I don't want to get dragged in.

17:02Whoa!

17:03Whoa.

17:04You all good?

17:06Yeah.

17:07Okay, give him a little slack.

17:13Working.

17:14You trust your life, a parent?

17:16I got no choice.

17:18Good, there we go.

17:20Just got real.

17:22It's getting realer.

17:24Start coming across.

17:27Let's go time.

17:29Take you up first?

17:30Yeah.

17:31Taylor being the confident woman that she is, she stepped up.

17:34I supported that, but I don't want to add a shortcut to cut her life short.

17:39It's go time, girl.

17:41You got this.

17:43Let's go.

17:44You ready for this?

17:45Yeah, I'm ready.

17:47Let's do it.

17:50It's all you, Taylor.

17:51Let yourself go.

17:51What?

17:5150 feet above a glacial river.

17:56Nice.

17:57There you go.

17:58Look at you smiling.

18:00Oh, that's crazy.

18:01You're the frickin' here.

18:07Yeah.

18:08Yeah.

18:11I mean, she's confident in everything she does, so she's confident in herself and I'm confident

18:15in her.

18:15You made it.

18:17Brings tears to my eyes.

18:19It really does.

18:20Here we go, Tay.

18:23There.

18:24I'm just happy that I made you the cop.

18:28We got to get across before the storm blows in.

18:32Yeah, both packs coming in.

18:34Both packs.

18:37Adam, you ready?

18:38Yeah.

18:39Here we go.

18:40Let's get it.

18:43Yeah.

18:45Counting on you, Adam.

18:48Oh, yeah.

18:50I got backup now.

18:51Taylor, a lot of weight here, boys.

18:55Inch by inch, baby.

18:59All right, you're free.

19:01Nicely done.

19:02How was that?

19:04God, I love adrenaline.

19:07It's a hell of a drug.

19:09Proud of you.

19:11Yep.

19:11Never thought I'd see you do that.

19:14Ha.

19:15Now it's just me.

19:21I'm not a fan of heights, so let's keep it real.

19:24But if there's gold on the other end, I'm going to get there.

19:28Last man standing.

19:29I suddenly feel so alone.

19:33Oh, man.

19:35Oh, man.

19:45No.

19:47No.

19:47I'll just get this.

19:56I got some serious weight on me.

20:16All right, let's do it for the storm kicks in.

20:19Are you pulling?

20:21Yeah.

20:23Damn, I got a lot of trust in you, bro.

20:26Adam once told me it was strong enough to support an elephant,

20:29so I should be all right.

20:31I got it.

20:32I got it.

20:36Watch that line.

20:37Keep it tight.

20:38Whatever you do, don't look down.

20:42Damn.

20:43I shouldn't have looked down.

20:45I told you.

20:48Hold it.

20:49Hold it.

20:52Hey, way to set the bar.

20:54Hey, just disconnect, but leave everything else.

20:57We need all that for coming back.

20:58Storm's coming in.

20:59Yeah.

20:59Got thunder and lightning coming in.

21:03Woo!

21:04She coming in.

21:06Yeah.

21:07Thunderbird.

21:08We can get to the mine from here now.

21:11All right, let's go.

21:12Okay.

21:13It's got to be easier than that.

21:16With the canyon behind them,

21:18the team must navigate 800 vertical feet

21:21through BC's backwards.

21:23Follow the creek and find the mine.

21:26You guys doing good?

21:28Better when we get there.

21:29Let's keep moving.

21:30You got this?

21:31Just a minute.

21:35Okay.

21:36Snap.

21:38Okay, I'm good.

21:39I'm good.

21:41Mud, mud, mud.

21:47Watch your footing over here.

21:48A lot of holes.

21:50Whoa!

21:51Slow down, slow down.

21:53Okay.

21:54Good.

21:54So the way crew and I found it the first time

21:56was just by accident, really.

21:59So now we're actually trying to get back there,

22:01but we're taking a totally different route.

22:03Okay, good.

22:04Six months later, the environment changes.

22:06I can hear the creek.

22:07It's not far.

22:10This is it, right here.

22:13Watch your step down here, guys.

22:15Maybe one at a time on this log, though.

22:18Yeah.

22:24It's on this slope.

22:28It's grown a lot.

22:29Follow the creek.

22:30Take us right to the mine.

22:35Hey, doesn't this look kind of familiar?

22:37I kind of remember this and that tree right there.

22:40This has got to be it, bro.

22:41It opened up, and I swear I remember those trees.

22:44You're right.

22:44That's it.

22:45Let's do it.

22:46Ha-ha!

22:46This is it.

22:48Look at those iron boulders right there.

22:50Wow.

22:51Yeah, you're right.

22:52It's right here.

22:53Ha-ha-ha!

22:54We're back, baby.

22:56Wow!

22:57Oh, that's so cool.

22:58We found it.

22:59For real.

23:00You weren't joking.

23:01Oh, it's for real.

23:05Look at the size of it.

23:06I mean, they meant business, right?

23:08Last time we just ran in there all willy-nilly style.

23:11Better do it right this time.

23:13Let's gear up and get in there.

23:17Lead on.

23:24Oh, my gosh.

23:39In the depths of a hidden, lost mind.

23:41To actually finally see it, it's, it's breathtaking.

23:47It opens up to almost a whole new world.

23:53And it looks like it goes much farther in the mountain.

23:55What else is going to be up ahead?

23:57This is what they took out of here.

24:03This whole place used to be a vein.

24:06You can see the remnants.

24:08This is what they're looking for.

24:10That's where the gold is.

24:11They found the vein going this way, so they follow it.

24:14We should do the same.

24:15Let's go.

24:25Whoa.

24:27It could have been the boot, though.

24:29I think that was the boot.

24:30That was a different sound.

24:31It was a totally different sound.

24:32Yeah, right there.

24:35Right there.

24:35You want to check it?

24:36Yeah.

24:39Whoa, it's everywhere down here.

24:40I'm getting it over here, too.

24:42Listen to that.

24:45Try now.

24:46Over there.

24:50Registering at eight, which is iron range.

24:57There we go.

24:58There it is.

24:59Oh, wow.

25:01There it is.

25:01Iron.

25:02Look at that.

25:04That looks like for the actual rail carts, rails to hold it down.

25:08Let me see.

25:09That looks hand forged.

25:10I could tell by the way it was formed, the age of the spike.

25:14Slumac, that nail would be from 1750 to the early 1800s, which predates Slumac.

25:22That is a real find.

25:24This is a big indicator that we're on the right path, big time.

25:29That's huge.

25:31This hand forged nail puts us in the right era.

25:34I think this mine started with the Spanish, and 100 years later, Slumac found it and took

25:39the leftovers.

25:40Let's keep going.

25:42Maybe they left something behind.

25:43I remember these.

25:48Wow.

25:49Almost there, guys.

25:53Hey, this is it.

25:58Whoa.

25:59Well, there's a reason somebody did this.

26:06Yeah.

26:07I mean, or it could have been in the flood.

26:08If it was flooded, could the water bring all this?

26:12No.

26:12This is man-made.

26:14Well, I mean, look at the rest of the mine.

26:15Nothing else is shored up.

26:17How the hell is this one spot got all the wood and the entire mine in it?

26:21I think somebody put this here for a reason.

26:24That's what you do to cover up your actual digging.

26:26If you haven't finished the entire vein, you don't want somebody else coming in.

26:30So they cover it back up.

26:31Well, they're hiding something.

26:32They're hiding something.

26:34Like a trap.

26:35See all these spikes in here?

26:36These are the same spikes that we just found back there.

26:38So, like, seriously, they don't want anybody in here.

26:41Hey, now look through that wood.

26:44Shine the light all the way down.

26:46Yeah.

26:47It looks like they left some of the vein there.

26:49Yeah, with my flashlight, I can see a little bit of a shimmer.

26:51The light picks it up.

26:53It looks like they left in a hurry.

26:55They took what they could and booby-trapped the rest.

26:57Careful.

26:59Hey, you don't want to do that.

27:01That's super unstable.

27:02For real, though.

27:03Okay.

27:04And that's why we planned for this one.

27:05We got the cameras this time.

27:07This is the most unstable mine I've ever been in.

27:10Adam.

27:12All right.

27:13You ready?

27:14Yep, ready to go.

27:15The plan is to get this rover through the barricade.

27:18This little opening in this passageway, we're going to send the rover through it.

27:22Easy, Adam.

27:23Easy.

27:24How's it going, Adam?

27:25You getting it?

27:26Okay, ready?

27:28Whoa.

27:29Whoa.

27:30There goes that idea.

27:31No, no, I got it.

27:32Actually, I can prop it up with this.

27:34Okay.

27:37Almost.

27:38Oh, you pushed it.

27:39Try to flip it.

27:39It's the big board that's in the way.

27:41You almost got it.

27:41I see it.

27:42Okay, ready?

27:43Yeah.

27:44Okay.

27:44Hey, hey, hey.

27:45We're back in business.

27:48I'm going to control it and try and get a better look at whatever the shiny stuff is at the other end.

27:56You stuck?

27:57No.

27:57I got it.

28:00Nice.

28:01Go, go, go.

28:01Yeah.

28:02Nice.

28:03Keep going.

28:03Up that hill.

28:04Up the hill.

28:05Sending that through was a brilliant idea.

28:08Gave us the opportunity to see if it's even worth going forward.

28:14What's that there?

28:15Look, look.

28:17You see that, Don?

28:17Yeah.

28:18Now, you see that color change inside those sulfides right there?

28:22That could be a stringer just bleeding out.

28:26Stringers can be attached to main quartz veins.

28:30It's like finding a hot slot machine.

28:32It means you've got really good odds to get gold.

28:35See if you can get around that corner, Tay.

28:37Come on.

28:38How does it look over there?

28:40It looked really good right there, but I want to see around that corner.

28:43Okay, hold on.

28:44Like 10 feet up.

28:44I'm going to try.

28:46Good job, Tay.

28:47Nice.

28:52See if you can get up to that left side.

28:54I'm trying.

28:57Keep going.

28:58Keep going.

29:00I'm coming up to a little bit of mud here.

29:01Keep pushing.

29:02Gutter.

29:03Give her.

29:03Tire's going to make it.

29:05Hopefully.

29:06Go get stuck.

29:07Go, go, go, go.

29:08Gun it.

29:11There we go.

29:12Look at that, Dawn.

29:13You guys see something?

29:14Yeah.

29:15Yeah.

29:15Keep going.

29:16Keep going.

29:16Try to make it around that corner.

29:17Some good color.

29:19You can see a stringer vein.

29:21There was rust red.

29:22This is what we're looking for.

29:25Okay, I'm just going to gun it here.

29:26You're almost there, Tay.

29:31A little faster.

29:34Just gun it.

29:37This might actually work.

29:41I flipped it.

29:44Now what?

29:45I can't do anything.

29:51I can't do anything.

29:51Deep in the mine.

29:52It didn't make it.

29:54We're about 10 feet short.

29:56Oh.

29:57It's the end of the road for the rover.

29:59And possibly the team.

30:01Everything else is picked clean.

30:03And you can see that's a lot of mineralization left.

30:05So somebody was coming back for it.

30:07You betcha.

30:07That's to stop us.

30:09The Spanish, if there was a source that they wanted to come back to that was really rich,

30:13they're not going to make it easy for anybody to get in there and mine.

30:17This is not just a simple wall.

30:19This is...

30:21You got to pick and choose what you cut.

30:22Exactly.

30:23I mean, you cut the wrong piece of wood, and you've got a header coming down on you.

30:27So, I mean, this is something we've been waiting for our whole lives.

30:30Think it's worth getting in there?

30:31Yeah.

30:31I think so.

30:32We didn't come all this way for nothing.

30:34Let's just check it out.

30:35If we cut this one first, that'll be step one.

30:39And we'll just assess it after that.

30:41There's no proper shoring in this mine.

30:43What looks structural could also be part of the booby trap, right?

30:46Can you hand me the saw?

30:48Which one do you pull out and not have everything come tumbled down on you?

30:54Be careful, man.

30:55Last time, a lot of that just started coming down.

30:57Okay, I got to make one more cut here.

30:59Ready?

30:59Yep.

31:05You've got to be super careful in your ear.

31:07Here's another piece.

31:08Can you get through?

31:08It's tight, but it's passable, guys.

31:10All right, let's do this.

31:12Destiny or death, one or the other.

31:15Watch your shoulders.

31:18Am I clear?

31:23Yeah, good.

31:24It's tight.

31:25But it opens up.

31:27Oh, wow.

31:34Wow.

31:35You guys got to get in here.

31:36I'm coming next.

31:37Here, keep it coming.

31:42Watch your head.

31:43Keep it low.

31:46Nice work.

31:47Taylor?

31:48Watch your rear.

31:49Yeah, I know it.

31:51Look at what is stuck back here.

31:57Good job, champ.

31:57I'm not as bendy as you guys, so I'm just coming in head first here.

32:02Easy, easy.

32:05Just watch out for nails, too.

32:08Okay.

32:10Thanks, Adam.

32:11All right.

32:12Welcome to the other side.

32:13I made it.

32:15Let's go.

32:16All right.

32:16Excellent.

32:17Excellent.

32:27Oh, my God.

32:28Look at it.

32:31This is it.

32:33Look at it, man.

32:35This is what we saw on the camera.

32:37Look.

32:39Is there gold in there?

32:40Man.

32:40It looks shiny.

32:42You can see where they were mining, and they just, like, for some reason stopped here.

32:45We might get some nuggets out of this, man.

32:48You got a pick?

32:50Look at this.

32:51Look right here.

32:51Did Slumuck do this?

32:52Yes.

32:53Yes.

32:54Yes.

32:55Yes.

32:57Good.

32:57Come from this side, right here.

32:59If there's anything left, it'll be on the other side of this rock.

33:05Nothing's here.

33:05So, wait, wait, wait, wait.

33:06Let me check behind.

33:07Let me check behind.

33:07They've got to see something.

33:09There's got to be something behind here.

33:12Just the same one.

33:21The part that we're missing is the quartz.

33:23This is, like, literally the tail ends.

33:25This place has been picked clean already.

33:27It looks like whoever was mining here actually gutted this whole vein, and it's just the remnants left over.

33:32But that doesn't mean there's not gold in it.

33:35It just means somebody beat us to it.

33:37So, does it keep going down that way?

33:39Yeah, it keeps going.

33:41Why don't we just keep going?

33:42Look.

33:43It's what we came for.

33:45I'll go with them.

33:47There has to be a reason that this section of the mine is blocked off, and we need to figure out why.

33:52I'm not done yet, man.

33:53There's got to be something here.

33:55You got that gun?

33:56Yeah.

33:57The XRF gun gives a different readout for every single element in the rock, all the way down to the finest minerals.

34:03If there's gold here, it'll tell us.

34:07Is it me, or is this getting narrower?

34:10Yeah, this is getting narrower up here.

34:12What are you seeing, crew?

34:14A lot of iron.

34:1570% iron, nickel, and no gold.

34:19So then what's so valuable here?

34:21I don't know.

34:22They stopped for something.

34:25I guess all the glitters ain't gold.

34:29This ain't it.

34:33This thing just keeps on going.

34:35It's huge.

34:38I mean, for them to block it off like they did?

34:41Something has to be back here.

34:42Or something was, and they took it out.

34:48Hey.

34:49Adam, right here.

34:50Look at this.

34:51What is this?

34:55You know what that looks like?

34:58It looks like a drill hole.

35:00Is that what that is?

35:01Yeah.

35:02Hey, Don, crew.

35:03Yeah?

35:04You got to come look at this.

35:05Looking at this drill hole immediately confirms that someone was here after the Spanish.

35:09This is something you would find in the late 1800s.

35:12It's the Slumax era.

35:13Yeah.

35:16Drill hole, or what do you think?

35:18Look at that.

35:20That goes back deep, too, man.

35:21That's right here.

35:22This is the main vein right here.

35:23Right?

35:23This quartz vein must have been mammoth.

35:26Let's have a look with the camera.

35:27Reach that out?

35:28Yep.

35:28You can put the snake cam through the drill hole and figure out who was here after the Spanish.

35:33Yeah.

35:34Keep going.

35:35You seen anything?

35:35See if you can see any teeth.

35:38There you go.

35:39There you go.

35:40Look at that.

35:41If it's smooth, it's bored in, and it's 1900s and above.

35:45If it's rough and raggedy looking, that's those hand drills from the 1800s.

35:50Well, that's rough.

35:53Could have been for dynamite.

35:54Oh, yeah.

35:55Really?

35:56In a place like this?

35:57That's how they blast the rock back in the day.

35:59And they didn't have safety regulations back then.

36:02Yeah.

36:03I mean, when did they start using it, though?

36:06Well, they definitely used it in Slumax time.

36:07Can't see Slumax using dynamite in here?

36:12No.

36:13Whoever did this came after the Spanish and after Slumax.

36:17Did someone find his gold source after he was hanged and clean it out?

36:22Someone else found his gold.

36:25They probably found this section of the mine and thought that, you know, if the veins ran

36:29this way, they could blast it open.

36:33Whoever was here must have got a major payday.

36:35Here, take this.

36:37I'm going to go check out that other passageway.

36:40The main shaft shows offshoots, so I want to keep exploring.

36:56And I come to a passage that actually is heading up.

37:00Hey, guys.

37:01Yeah.

37:01It goes up.

37:04It goes up?

37:05The mine?

37:06It goes up.

37:07Are you serious?

37:08It keeps going.

37:09To me, if you find a passageway that goes up, there's got to be a vertical shaft above

37:13that.

37:13They make a vertical mine shaft and they take the ore up, essentially like a mine elevator,

37:17and dump it.

37:18Which means you have a tunnel or an entrance on the surface somewhere.

37:22That's good.

37:23That means there's more.

37:27This thing keeps going.

37:29We've got to find out where it goes.

37:31We've got to chase this thing up.

37:32I think it looks good up here.

37:33I think it looks good up here.

37:38Let's go.

37:42Outside, the team searches the surface for evidence of a vertical shaft, a hidden opening

37:49to the mine.

37:51Ha, ha, ha.

37:53Oh, you were right, Adam.

37:55Dude, look.

37:55Oh, that's a pit.

37:57Oh, here's the shaft.

37:59Holy.

38:01So we're there cross-cutting the mine, trying to intersect the tunnel.

38:04Well, it's a long ways down.

38:08Whoever created the shaft was not Spanish.

38:12This was probably dug up a century later in Slumex time.

38:15If this was his gold, it looks like someone came in after him, found it, and cleaned it

38:19out.

38:20We're standing on a mountain created by the tailings.

38:23There's a lot of material.

38:25Tailings, discarded rock and debris, leftovers from the separation of precious metals from ore,

38:31remnant of a mining operation.

38:35This is a massive tailings pile.

38:37This is all the material that came out of it.

38:38This is where they're dumping the ore out.

38:40Whatever was in the mine will be in these tailings.

38:43Well, there's no doubt this is what we've been looking for.

38:46I think we should check this whole place out.

38:48I can start detecting.

38:50Big into the side of the pile over there.

39:01All the iron sulfides in there.

39:03If there's any gold, it's going to be trapped in those iron sulfides.

39:08See how heavy this one is.

39:11Ooh.

39:13That's got a different type of weight, dude.

39:18Okay, this is what we're looking for, man.

39:23Crew pulls out the XRF gun and scans one of the tailings.

39:26Because that tells us if it's gold or not.

39:31AG!

39:32What's AG?

39:35This is a silver mine.

39:37This is silver.

39:38This is valuable.

39:39This is ore.

39:40What about gold, Crew?

39:41Is there any indications of gold in there?

39:43Nothing.

39:44This is what they were mining here.

39:47Silver.

39:48Not gold.

39:50So this isn't Slumac's mine, then?

39:52No.

39:53But it's someone's silver mine.

39:54This could be the lost Spanish silver mine of Harrison Lake, but not Slumac's gold.

40:03If it's a silver mine, that just means that there's a gold mine somewhere else around here.

40:07They do grow hand in hand.

40:10Well, where there's one mine, there's more.

40:13That means Slumac's gold is still out there.

40:15And that's what we came for.

40:18If we found this one using the clues that we had, that means there's more out there.

40:23And one of them could be Slumac's.

40:26So it has to be around here somewhere, then?

40:28I like the way you think.

40:29Yeah.

40:30Could this be the path to gold?

40:32You gotta put in the work to get the gold.

40:35But at the end of the day, we're getting closer to the truth.

40:38So if anybody's got a chance to find it, it's gonna be us.

40:42This season on Dead Man's Curse.

40:48You think I'll be able to climb that?
