I'm gonna steal air off Alex gonna steal your air today yeah I got plenty of hose so yeah I'll steal the air from Alex and continue my hole right here I might even be able to snorkel it looks pretty shallow so I was doing good gold here and we'll see what's up ahead and I'm gonna keep going towards this channel [Music] [Music] that's a good one nice get some more all right just a little coffee break clean up here uh I got one there one there oh it's a little stuff here okay here right here right there nice this gold all throughout this oh look at these three little pieces right there we'll get there we'll get some gold nice time for a little coffee break and get back in well there's another one there nice we're in some good gold we got a refuel and get some coffee and get back in see what Alex got ta give it a minute to clean up I haven't seen anything but you didn't see any I don't like the way that's working with the uh abandoned metal you know yeah whenever we start for lunch I'll just do a cleanup and then go back to the miners Moss right here cool you got one there one little one yeah I'm sure I got a little bit of gold but no no no nuggets yeah foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you looking really good just doing a little bit of a box go back in get some more foreign [Music] [Music] wow [Laughter] all right clean outside and see what we got I know I have a bunch of little ones Alex is done and he's gonna take a look in his box we'll go over check his too I see a couple little ones oh they can run out of gas I gotta do this quick uh no nothing really big yeah not much just little tiny stuff but I did find all this on the on the bottom today I picked a few off the mat too that's not bad at all and uh we'll go see what Alex has all right let's see what this Old Pro Line can do you switch it over to your miners boss yeah cool no gold too much too much oh nothing you know I don't know it was all right yeah we're there oh yeah I don't know you need to clean it out yeah I'll do a cleanup well I freaking hope he got a beast I'm gonna clean up and there'll be something yeah all right we're both gonna clean up and uh we'll see what we got just finished uh running my cons now I got super cons man look at all that gold man looking good looking good and I found a nickel too it's gold on this mat oh there let's paint it out see what we got for today honestly all right I'm gonna paint it out this is all the stuff I got on the bottom today I'm gonna throw it in you because I need the pan there we go rinse this up I need two hands what you got oh a couple little ones you up look at that oh I'm gonna lose it got some gold huh I got color you got a little bit hey to start must be something not bad start of a new day so today we are going to move this big freaking Rock that's in the way down under here there's a nice V Bedrock V and bottom is a nice crack and slamming some nice gold in the section here so Alex is on the other side of that rock I'm right here and we're gonna meet up today and first things first we've got to get this rock out of the way I'm gonna move my dredge up forward and on this one we're gonna chain the front of it and over here on this tree right here I'm gonna put uh another snatch block so we're gonna have a snatch block right here and the saw is right there so we're gonna have a straight line from the saw coming to here to the snatch block and from the snatch block to the Rock so it's gonna pull the Rock This Way into the into the bank right here I already did this section this is 100 done and we're gonna try to put that rock right over here that's a plan we'll get it done cool yeah yeah that's a big one today's gonna be a lot of moving rock we gotta first start with this one then the triangle one behind it we're gonna move that one and this whole rock jam we believe there's going to be a pile of gold under here so huge ounces yeah wherever we find nice big rock Boulder pileups is usually good gold and eventually the main goal is to get that big boy I don't know we're gonna try later on I really hope we can because I'm really hoping there's nuggets under that one but okay well we gotta get set up I'm gonna set up smash block on the tree get everything ready to go and get to work beginning of a new day setting up for lunch this is going to be our hot plate so find a little fire you had a nice Flat Rock to heat up a rack of lamb I think we got some beef ribs and some soup and whatever else we feel like eating maybe we'll heat up the crackers too so yeah this is our Riverside lunch buffet got a beautiful day in the neighborhood nice and warm today it's unusual to get to dredge when it's 80 degrees out setting up to move this big rock gonna move this sucker this sucker's gonna be moving so just to give a perspective we got a four inch king dredge right here we got a rock that's about down same size as the dredge probably weighs a little bit more and we're the goal is to get it over there up against the bank go hopefully the chain will fall off the cable won't snap let's see this is a big test [Music] [Music] like butter look at that that's a big one [Music] [Music] [Music] no it's not going exactly where we went but we could just twist it some more it looks good we might have to rig it so that we could get the other side to spin so that left that opened up a nice big area next we're going to move that triangular one that's in front of the my dredge and then we're going to move that one and then that one and that one and that one and that one and that one we got to move all those piles of rocks right there and that's where our pile of gold is underneath the pile of rocks oh it moved like butter man it was just like uh moving no problem um yeah but once we let go of the pressure we might want to like roll back in the hole so we might have to hook up the other end and pivot it some more pivot it one more time and it'll wind up right where you wanted it [Music] oh nice one cool first one of the day good one first piece of the day get some more [Music] foreign [Music] is over this way but uh we're only dredging maybe an hour or two so it's hard to tell yet I'm still thinking there'll be some gold under that rock jam but we'll find out Alex gonna check his box here to work with a good vision and nothing obvious ly hiding here I'm ready for lunch yeah lunchtime I'm going to check out our hot plate yeah we got a cool Hot Plate over there check it out lunchtime let's go see uh let's go see what Alex made over here [Music] nice what you do is you build a fire underneath a Flat Rock yeah nice what do you freaking rack of lamb short ribs chicken geez look at that nice fire underneath there heating it up it's gonna be one nice lunch hungry yeah I hope you're hungry this dredge inside work burning calories hard work [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we are done for today Alex looked through this box he had a couple of little three small little Pickers I only had uh one small picker but today we moved from Rock we advance in the hole like I said we're trying to get in this big rock jam that's where we think the Gold's gonna be so maybe it's a good sign there's no gold behind us because uh it's all getting caught up in those big rocks up there so a couple more days and we'll probably get to those big rocks but uh today we pulled this big one that was kind of cool we used a double pulley we got a pulley on there and then a pulley up in the tree and we angled it to the saw and uh yep so we'll call it a question today Tomorrow there's supposed to be some thunderstorms so we got to secure everything up pretty good tonight and all right that's pretty much it we're gonna pack up and we'll eat some dinner ha anything bad anything to add yeah not much gold but it was a good day yep cool let's go eat some dinner we'll get it tomorrow all right here we go nice campfire what do we got a little dinner time yeah man we're a little hungry from all that Hard Day's dredging wow look at that we got some portobello mushrooms is hot going on recharge our batteries another hard day to judge in tomorrow a little movie time what do you got going on over here how's your trip going shopping in a nice rock I've been using it a couple of hot dogs for the dog oh sharp
