FIRST GOLD OF THE SEASON, YOU KNOW?
THERE WAS GOLD IN THE SLUICE BOX.
YEP. REMEMBER, WE'VE ONLY MANAGED
TO RUN THE WASH PLANT FOR ABOUT A DAY AND A HALF,
SO ANY GOLD IN THE BOX WOULD BE GOOD.
Narrator: AT QUARTZ CREEK, FREDDY'S GOLD ROOM IS DONE.
RICK'S READY FOR HIS FIRST-EVER GOLD WEIGH.
HEY, GUYS, YOU WANT TO MEET FREDDY AND I
DOWN AT THE GOLD ROOM? WE'VE GOT OUR FIRST GOLD HERE.
LET'S WEIGH IT UP.
Narrator: NO ONE'S BEEN PAID THIS SEASON,
AND THE CREW'S BEEN WAITING SEVEN WEEKS TO SEE SOME GOLD.
-FELLAS, LADIES... -THANK YOU.
REMEMBER IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I TOLD YOU GUYS
THAT GOLD MINING WAS GOING TO BE EASY?
THIS FIRST WEEK RUNNING A PLANT, WE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
WE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES, BUT I THINK YOU'RE STARTING
TO SEE THE METHOD TO THE MADNESS, RIGHT?
WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS YOU GUYS' FIRST GOLD.
-LOOK AT THAT. -YEP.
-WHOO! -IT'S [BLEEP] EXCITING, RIGHT?
IT IS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU GUYS GOT TO SEE THE FIRST GOLD THAT YOU'VE EVER
GOT TO DIG OUT OF THE GROUND YOURSELVES.
YOU GUYS WILL NEVER FORGET THAT.
-WE CAN MINE GOLD. -AWESOME!
YEAH.
-YOU GUYS READY? -YEAH.
LET'S WEIGH IT UP.
Narrator: SEVEN YEARS AGO, RICK'S EX-BOSS, PARKER,
MINED JUST 10 OUNCES OF GOLD AT HIS FIRST WEIGH IN.
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE STARTING OUT LOW HERE.
THERE'S 2, 5, 10, 20, 25.
HOPE IT'S A HUNDRED [BLEEP].
...30.
YEP. HERE WE ARE, 30.28.
-YEAH! -WHOO!
YOU KNOW WHAT? NOT BAD FOR A [BLEEP] WEEK.
-YEAH. -HELL YEAH!
-YEAH! -THAT'S $36,000 RIGHT THERE.
YEAH, THAT'S FANTASTIC, MAN.
I'M SUPER, SUPER STOKED.
YOU KNOW, WE QUESTIONED YOUR [BLEEP] LEADERSHIP THERE
FOR A WHILE, AND THIS REALLY HAPPENED.
-YEAH. -HOW MUCH OF THIS IS OURS?
REMEMBER THERE'S A LOT OF OPERATING COSTS.
FOR A LITTLE BIT HERE, SOME BILLS GOT TO GET PAID.
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I STILL OWE $30,000 ON THAT WASH PLANT.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE THIS GOLD IF WE DIDN'T HAVE
THE WASH PLANT, SO...
-YEAH. -I GET IT.
EXACTLY.
BUT THE MAIN THING IS, IT DOES GET GOLD.
IT'S WHY WE CAME HERE, AND YOU'VE MADE IT.
YOU'VE ALL [BLEEP] MADE IT.
YOU'RE OFFICIALLY GOLD MINERS RIGHT NOW,
AND THAT'S THE HONEST-TO-GOODNESS TRUTH.
WE'RE LEARNING THE HARD WAY,
BUT I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY WAY UP HERE.
LISTEN HERE, YOU GREEDY SON OF A [BLEEP].
[ LAUGHTER ]
I NEED SOME MORE, SO LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.
-[BLEEP] YEAH. -LET'S MINE.
-YEAH.
