[Music]
the next morning Dave's back from his
hardrock prospecting mission at Miller
mountain mine what I really want to talk
to you guys about is the possibility of
doing some hardrock mining this gold
right here came out of some hard rock
and I think this could be the future of
our little small mining company you know
they brought us out here to placer mine
now if I'm a hardrock this gold has
never been seen by anybody and I want to
chase it I believe in hard rock mining I
think it's our future if we hit this
could it change our lives I think it
could so Dave wants to do hardrock
mining it just became pasa - we're just
getting this wired down but had to go
marching out look at Hard Rock that's a
whole new animal there's no doubt about
it this is not thousands of dollars this
is millions of dollars literally again
that'll be my responsibility to bring
that money in
eight excites the hell out of me but
kind of makes my pants a little bit too
I mean that's where you could really get
some nice gold and a lot of gold real
quick it's it's gonna be tough but you
know if Dave wants to chase after his
dream you know who could stop him
Dave's already get done and that's the
one thing unlocked about him you know
he's there for the best of us the best
for him so let's go
if dave has any chance of making his
hardrock dream a reality he must first
focus on bird's-eye and at the northern
edge of the claim if he's taking a look
at the new ground at the dredge edge cut
that dredge came through here and it had
to put overburden somewhere for the
first cut right right so this in my
opinion is right where the dredge
stopped so the dredge worked it over
there through their overburden here and
this is Virgin underneath that
overburden yes sir those old boys were
pretty good at what they did but
hopefully they left a little bit along
this line for us to pick up finish the
season the old-timers used a dragline
dredge a huge bucket pulled by a crane
on tracks
as if dugout paydirt the dredge bucket
carved out a clear boundary between the
area it mined and the virgin ground
beneath the overburden
