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.

[ CHEERING ]
