Narrator: MINING IS OVER AT SCRIBNER CREEK.
PARKER GATHERS HIS ENTIRE CREW TO FIND OUT
IF THEY'VE HIT HIS 7,000-OUNCE GOAL --
THE HIGHEST HE'S EVER SET.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO, THE LAST GOLD TOTAL WAS 6,472 1/2 OUNCES,
WHICH IS BETTER THAN WE DID LAST YEAR BY ABOUT 200 OUNCES.
THERE'S A LOT OF GOLD THERE ON THE TABLE,
BUT WHAT MEANS THE MOST TO ME IS THE SMALLEST PAN OUT HERE,
WHICH IS WHAT BIG RED DID
DOWN THERE ON THE GROUND THAT WE BOUGHT.
ALL RIGHT, SO BIG RED PRODUCED 95 OUNCES.
CHEERS TO THAT. WHOO!
THOSE 95 OUNCES CAME FROM, LIKE, 30 OR 35 HOURS OF SLUICING.
WHEN WE STARTED, I SAID WE NEEDED
80 OUNCES FOR IT TO BE GOOD,
SO I THINK THAT'S A DAMN GOOD RESULT.
GONNA CHEERS TO THAT, MAN.
IT'S OUR OWN GROUND, AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WHEN I CAME UP HERE SIX YEARS AGO,
LIKE, THAT WAS THE DREAM.

Narrator: BIG RED'S GOLD BRINGS THE TOTAL TO 6,567 OUNCES,
BUT PARKER IS STILL MORE THAN 400 OUNCES SHORT OF HIS GOAL.
WE'VE BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
SLUICIFER PRODUCED 859.8 OUNCES.
WORTH OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.
FIGURE THAT OUT.
THE BIGGEST CLEANUP PARKER'S EVER HAD.
UNREAL.
OUR SEASON TOTAL -- OUR GOAL IS 7,000 OUNCES --
7,427.25 OUNCES.
[ CHEERING, WHISTLING ]
DESPITE THE DISASTROUS START,
PARKER'S CREW HAS MINED NEARLY $9 MILLION WORTH OF GOLD --
A NEW RECORD FOR "GOLD RUSH."
THIS SEASON STARTED OUT
AS ONE OF THE WORST SEASONS WE'VE EVER HAD
AND ENDED UP THE ABSOLUTE BEST.
AND EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT.
AND I THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT.
CHEERS TO THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE GOT A SMOKIN' CREW. THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
NEXT YEAR, WE'RE ON OUR OWN GROUND.
WE'LL PLAY BY OUR OWN RULES.
AND WE ARE HEADING INTO THE UNKNOWN, BUT THE FUTURE'S OURS.
CHEERS.
THANK YOU, ALL.
