00:06:15.942 --> 00:06:17.210
WEIGHT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE

186
00:06:17.210 --> 00:06:18.611
PINNED DOWN ON THE BOTTOM.

187
00:06:18.611 --> 00:06:20.279
AND THE CURRENT'S REALLY PUSHING

188
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.280
YOU AROUND.

189
00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:22.448
KEEP WATCHING ME. IF I TURN

190
00:06:22.448 --> 00:06:24.751
UPSIDE DOWN LIKE A SALMON THAT'S

191
00:06:24.751 --> 00:06:27.720
ALREADY SPAWNED, PULL ME UP.

192
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.956
AND DON'T WORRY. I CAN MAKE MORE

193
00:06:29.956 --> 00:06:31.290
OF YOU.

194
00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:32.959
KIA: AW, GEE, THANKS.

195
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.394
TOM: [LAUGHS]

196
00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:38.798
I WASN'T GETTING ANY GOLD

197
00:06:38.798 --> 00:06:40.133
SIGNALS ON THIS SPOT IN THE

198
00:06:40.133 --> 00:06:41.334
RIVER. IT DIDN'T LOOK QUITE

199
00:06:41.334 --> 00:06:43.169
RIGHT. SO WE DECIDED TO ZIP ON

200
00:06:43.169 --> 00:06:44.871
DOWN THE RIVER AND TRY ANOTHER

201
00:06:44.871 --> 00:06:46.639
SPOT. THAT OLD ADAGE THAT THE

202
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:47.974
GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER

203
00:06:47.974 --> 00:06:49.609
SIDE OF THE FENCE, WE GOT TO

204
00:06:49.609 --> 00:06:50.843
THINKING MAYBE IF WE JUST MOVED

205
00:06:50.843 --> 00:06:52.478
UP THE RIVER A LITTLE FARTHER,

206
00:06:52.478 --> 00:06:54.347
THE GOLD WOULD GET BETTER.

207
00:06:56.482 --> 00:06:59.652
AH, YEAH! THE GREAT OUTDOORS!

208
00:06:59.652 --> 00:07:00.820
LOVE IT OUT HERE.

209
00:07:00.820 --> 00:07:02.321
THIS IS THE PLACE THAT I'VE BEEN

210
00:07:02.321 --> 00:07:03.823
IN HERE WHEN I WAS A CHILD

211
00:07:03.823 --> 00:07:05.324
PROSPECTING AROUND WITH MY DAD.

212
00:07:05.324 --> 00:07:06.826
IT'S A GREAT AREA. THERE'S A LOT

213
00:07:06.826 --> 00:07:07.994
OF GOLD OUT HERE, A LOT OF GOLD

214
00:07:07.994 --> 00:07:09.662
HISTORY, AND THAT'S WHEN THE

215
00:07:09.662 --> 00:07:12.331
ADVENTURE REALLY STARTS.

216
00:07:12.331 --> 00:07:14.333
THIS RIVER'S WHAT THEY CALL THE

217
00:07:14.333 --> 00:07:16.002
SALMON RIVER, BUT IT'S ALSO

218
00:07:16.002 --> 00:07:18.905
KNOWN AS THE RIVER OF NO RETURN.

219
00:07:18.905 --> 00:07:20.807
AND THAT AIN'T NO COINCIDENCE.

220
00:07:20.807 --> 00:07:22.341
KIA: I REALLY WISH THAT I COULD

221
00:07:22.341 --> 00:07:23.843
HAVE AN UNDERWATER DETECTOR LIKE

222
00:07:23.843 --> 00:07:25.845
MY DAD'S, BUT IT'S REALLY COOL

223
00:07:25.845 --> 00:07:27.180
SCUBA DIVING IN THE RIVER.

224
00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:28.915
I'VE ONLY DOVE IN THE OCEAN.

225
00:07:33.719 --> 00:07:35.721
MY DAD IS OUT FIGHTING THE

226
00:07:35.721 --> 00:07:36.722
CURRENTS OF THE RIVER. BUT IT'S

227
00:07:36.722 --> 00:07:39.425
JUST TOO ROUGH AND COLD FOR ME.

228
00:07:39.425 --> 00:07:41.494
THINK ABOUT IT. THAT WATER IS

229
00:07:41.494 --> 00:07:43.396
37 DEGREES RIGHT NOW.

230
00:07:43.396 --> 00:07:44.397
DAD? HEY.

231
00:07:44.397 --> 00:07:45.398
TOM: COLD?

232
00:07:45.398 --> 00:07:47.033
KIA: YEAH, IT'S COLD.

233
00:07:47.033 --> 00:07:48.434
TOM: YEAH.

234
00:07:48.434 --> 00:07:49.435
KIA: I WAS REALLY LOOKING

235
00:07:49.435 --> 00:07:51.437
FORWARD TO THIS, AND I WANTED

236
00:07:51.437 --> 00:07:54.407
YOUR DETECTOR TO SCUBA DIVE, BUT

237
00:07:54.407 --> 00:07:57.210
MY EQUIPMENT'S TOO COLD AND I'M

238
00:07:57.210 --> 00:07:58.211
TOO COLD AND--

239
00:07:58.211 --> 00:07:59.545
TOM: YOU'RE FREEZING UP?

240
00:07:59.545 --> 00:08:01.447
KIA: YEAH. MY REGULATORS ARE

241
00:08:01.447 --> 00:08:03.049
GETTING COLD, AND THEY'RE

242
00:08:03.049 --> 00:08:05.952
FREEZING OPEN AND STUFF, SO, I

243
00:08:05.952 --> 00:08:08.221
THINK I'M GONNA CALL IT A DAY.

244
00:08:08.221 --> 00:08:09.555
TOM: WELL, THERE ISN'T ANY GOLD

245
00:08:09.555 --> 00:08:10.890
WORTH DROWNING FOR.

246
00:08:10.890 --> 00:08:13.493
KIA: YEAH. I GOTTA GET OUT.

247
00:08:13.493 --> 00:08:14.560
TOM: WELL, I'M GONNA KEEP

248
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:16.496
SEARCHING. I'LL KEEP LOOKING FOR

249
00:08:16.496 --> 00:08:17.797
A LITTLE WHILE LONGER.

250
00:08:17.797 --> 00:08:18.898
KIA: I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE

251
00:08:18.898 --> 00:08:19.966
BUBBLES THE WHOLE TIME.

252
00:08:19.966 --> 00:08:20.967
TOM: OK.

253
00:08:20.967 --> 00:08:22.468
KIA: I'LL BE WATCHING.

254
00:08:22.468 --> 00:08:23.569
I GOTTA GET OUT.

255
00:08:23.569 --> 00:08:24.737
TOM: ALL RIGHT.

256
00:08:24.737 --> 00:08:26.205
KIA: I GOTTA GET OUT.

257
00:08:36.949 --> 00:08:38.217
TOM: WE'RE IN RIGGINS, IDAHO,

258
00:08:38.217 --> 00:08:40.219
IN OUR WETSUITS, DOWN ON THE

259
00:08:40.219 --> 00:08:42.154
BOTTOM OF THE SALMON RIVER,

260
00:08:42.154 --> 00:08:43.990
LOOKING FOR GOLD. THE WATER

261
00:08:43.990 --> 00:08:46.492
TEMPERATURE'S A CHILLY 37

262
00:08:46.492 --> 00:08:49.095
DEGREES, AND KIA'S SO COLD,

263
00:08:49.095 --> 00:08:51.297
SHE'S GETTING OUT.

264
00:08:52.965 --> 00:08:57.103
KIA: [UNCLEAR] I CAN'T GET IT.

265
00:08:57.103 --> 00:08:59.005
I FEEL LIKE THE FIRST MAN ON THE

266
00:08:59.005 --> 00:09:01.274
MOON TRYING TO MANEUVER IN THESE

267
00:09:01.274 --> 00:09:06.178
FLIPPERS. CAN'T WALK IN THEM.

268
00:09:06.178 --> 00:09:08.314
CAN'T STAND UP WITH THIS TANK

269
00:09:08.314 --> 00:09:12.118
ON. I CAN'T BREATHE WITH THIS

270
00:09:12.118 --> 00:09:14.220
SUIT AROUND MY NECK.

271
00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:15.821
USELESS.

272
00:09:15.821 --> 00:09:17.490
TOM: THIS RIVER HAS AN AVERAGE

273
00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:19.825
DISCHARGE OF OVER 1,000 CUBIC

274
00:09:19.825 --> 00:09:21.694
FEET PER SECOND, SO THE CURRENT

275
00:09:21.694 --> 00:09:23.429
ON THE BOTTOM IS FAST AND

276
00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:25.264
UNFORGIVING. HAVING A METAL

277
00:09:25.264 --> 00:09:26.799
DETECTOR THAT WORKS UNDERWATER

278
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.100
IS SOMETHING THE OLD-TIMERS

279
00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.669
NEVER HAD, AND I'M LOOKING FOR

280
00:09:29.669 --> 00:09:31.070
THE CRACKS AND THE CREVICES

281
00:09:31.070 --> 00:09:32.805
IN THE BEDROCK WHERE THE GOLD

282
00:09:32.805 --> 00:09:35.608
LIKES TO LAY IN THERE.

283
00:09:35.608 --> 00:09:37.777
A LITTLE ROUGHER THAN I THOUGHT.

284
00:09:37.777 --> 00:09:39.111
BUT THE GOLD'S NOT GONNA BEAT

285
00:09:39.111 --> 00:09:41.280
ME. I'M GONNA GET IT.

286
00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:43.282
KIA: IT BEAT ME.

287
00:09:43.282 --> 00:09:45.284
MY DAD'S BEEN DOWN THERE FOR

288
00:09:45.284 --> 00:09:46.953
ALMOST 30 MINUTES NOW. BEEN

289
00:09:46.953 --> 00:09:48.287
PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO HIS

290
00:09:48.287 --> 00:09:50.289
BUBBLES. YOU ALWAYS WANT TO MAKE

291
00:09:50.289 --> 00:09:51.958
SURE YOU HAVE A PARTNER WHEN

292
00:09:51.958 --> 00:09:54.293
YOU'RE SCUBA DIVING.

293
00:09:54.293 --> 00:09:56.128
TOM: MY METAL DETECTOR SOUNDED

294
00:09:56.128 --> 00:10:00.299
OFF. I SAW A NUGGET.

295
00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:03.135
YEAH! FOUND SOME GOLD.

296
00:10:03.135 --> 00:10:04.804
ALWAYS EXCITING WHEN YOU FIND

297
00:10:04.804 --> 00:10:07.406
SOME COLOR. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO

298
00:10:07.406 --> 00:10:08.941
SHOW IT TO KIA.

299
00:10:08.941 --> 00:10:10.610
KIA: HOW YA DOIN'?

300
00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:12.645
TOM: LOOK AT THIS!

301
00:10:12.645 --> 00:10:14.080
I GOT ONE!

302
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.481
KIA: LOOK AT THAT.

303
00:10:15.481 --> 00:10:17.149
LOOK AT THAT. IT LOOKS LIKE A

304
00:10:17.149 --> 00:10:18.217
LITTLE GOLD WORM.

305
00:10:18.217 --> 00:10:19.118
TOM: IT WAS STUCK DOWN THERE

306
00:10:19.118 --> 00:10:21.487
IN THE BEDROCK. I HAD TO TAKE MY

307
00:10:21.487 --> 00:10:24.190
GLOVE OFF TO PRY IT OUT.

308
00:10:24.190 --> 00:10:25.691
KIA: HOLY...

309
00:10:25.691 --> 00:10:28.127
TOM: AND MY HAND FROZE.

310
00:10:28.127 --> 00:10:29.128
KIA: OHH.

311
00:10:29.128 --> 00:10:30.630
TOM: I'M GOING BACK FOR MORE.

312
00:10:30.630 --> 00:10:31.831
I STILL GOT AIR. I'M GOING TO

313
00:10:31.831 --> 00:10:34.000
KEEP DIVING UNTIL I'VE DIVED TO

314
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.202
BELOW 1,000. THERE'S GOLD LIKE

315
00:10:36.202 --> 00:10:37.870
EASTER EGGS. JUST PICKING THEM

316
00:10:37.870 --> 00:10:39.872
UP LIKE EASTER EGGS. I WANT

317
00:10:39.872 --> 00:10:41.040
ANOTHER EASTER EGG. I WANT

318
00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:42.508
ANOTHER EASTER EGG.

319
00:10:42.508 --> 00:10:46.312
[MUSIC]

320
00:10:46.312 --> 00:10:50.182
KIA: IDAHO GOLD. YOU KNOW, I BET

321
00:10:50.182 --> 00:10:52.718
THIS RIVERBED IS JUST LAYERED

322
00:10:52.718 --> 00:10:54.720
AND COVERED IN NUGGETS JUST LIKE

323
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.722
THIS ONE. I KIND OF REGRET

324
00:10:56.722 --> 00:10:58.724
GETTING OUT OF MY WETSUIT NOW.

325
00:10:58.724 --> 00:10:59.725
TOM: YOU KNOW, ONCE YOUR FACE

326
00:10:59.725 --> 00:11:00.726
KIND OF FREEZES UP AND YOU

327
00:11:00.726 --> 00:11:02.028
START GETTING A LITTLE NUMB,

328
00:11:02.028 --> 00:11:04.764
YOU'RE GOOD FOR, OH, 15-20

329
00:11:04.764 --> 00:11:06.232
MINUTES. BUT THESE CURRENTS ARE

330
00:11:06.232 --> 00:11:08.567
JUST LIKE SWIRLING DOWN THERE.

331
00:11:08.567 --> 00:11:11.704
WHOOM! WHOOM! IT'S JUST RIPPIN'.

332
00:11:11.704 --> 00:11:13.739
BUT I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!

333
00:11:13.739 --> 00:11:15.608
I'LL GO BACK FOR SOME MORE.

334
00:11:15.608 --> 00:11:17.543
KEEP GOIN' TILL I CAN'T TAKE IT

335
00:11:17.543 --> 00:11:19.745
NO MORE. THERE'S GOLD!

336
00:11:19.745 --> 00:11:21.047
IT'S CALLING ME. IT'S CALLING

337
00:11:21.047 --> 00:11:23.416
ME. I HEAR THE LITTLE VOICES.

338
00:11:23.416 --> 00:11:24.917
"COME GET ME. COME GET ME, TOM.

339
00:11:24.917 --> 00:11:27.353
COME GET ME. I'M HERE. I'M HERE.

340
00:11:27.353 --> 00:11:29.822
COME GET ME. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR

341
00:11:29.822 --> 00:11:32.525
A THOUSAND YEARS WAITING FOR

342
00:11:32.525 --> 00:11:34.927
YOU. JUST WAITING."

343
00:11:34.927 --> 00:11:37.363
[HAWKS AND SPITS]

344
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.235
THE WATER IS A BONE-CHILLING

345
00:11:43.235 --> 00:11:46.238
37 DEGREES. AWFUL HARD TO

346
00:11:46.238 --> 00:11:47.506
PROSPECT IN THESE STRONG

347
00:11:47.506 --> 00:11:49.175
CURRENTS.

348
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:54.914
KIA: I'M GLAD I DIDN'T SPEND AS

349
00:11:54.914 --> 00:11:56.282
MUCH TIME IN THERE AS MY DAD

350
00:11:56.282 --> 00:11:57.616
DID, BECAUSE IT WAS PRETTY

351
00:11:57.616 --> 00:11:58.951
DANGEROUS. THE CURRENT WOULD

352
00:11:58.951 --> 00:12:00.619
WHIP YOU AROUND, AND THE

353
00:12:00.619 --> 00:12:02.621
HYDRAULICS IN THE WATER IS KIND

354
00:12:02.621 --> 00:12:04.090
OF SCARY. I'M SURE IF MY MOM WAS

355
00:12:04.090 --> 00:12:05.424
THERE, SHE WOULDN'T LET US HAVE

356
00:12:05.424 --> 00:12:07.660
DONE IT.

357
00:12:07.660 --> 00:12:11.163
TOM: OOH, YEAH. FOUND SOME GOLD.

358
00:12:11.163 --> 00:12:12.665
I HAD SOME LUCK. FOUND A FEW

359
00:12:12.665 --> 00:12:14.667
GOOD PICKERS. BUT I'M ABOUT TO

360
00:12:14.667 --> 00:12:16.102
FREEZE UP. I THINK THAT

361
00:12:16.102 --> 00:12:17.536
HYPOTHEREMIA'S STARTING TO SET

362
00:12:17.536 --> 00:12:19.205
IN. I BETTER BE CAREFUL.

363
00:12:19.205 --> 00:12:21.607
TIME TO PACK IT IN.

364
00:12:21.607 --> 00:12:23.943
I'M FROZE UP. I CAN BARELY MOVE.

365
00:12:23.943 --> 00:12:26.278
I COULD SEE GOLD DOWN THERE.

366
00:12:26.278 --> 00:12:28.447
I WAS GETTING SIGNALS AT

367
00:12:28.447 --> 00:12:30.416
DIFFERENT SPOTS. I DON'T KNOW IF

368
00:12:30.416 --> 00:12:31.951
IT WAS LIKE--THERE WAS LIKE SOME

369
00:12:31.951 --> 00:12:34.453
BIG ONES. I PICKED UP TWO MORE,

370
00:12:34.453 --> 00:12:36.622
ONE REALLY NICE SIZE ONE AND

371
00:12:36.622 --> 00:12:38.290
ANOTHER SMALLER ONE, LIKE THAT

372
00:12:38.290 --> 00:12:39.759
OTHER ONE.

373
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.860
KIA: YEAH?

374
00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:41.694
TOM: BUT I WAS JUST GETTING

375
00:12:41.694 --> 00:12:43.362
THROWED AROUND DOWN THERE AND

376
00:12:43.362 --> 00:12:45.865
THROWN AROUND. IT GOES DEEP,

377
00:12:45.865 --> 00:12:48.801
DEEP DOWN. AND IT GETS DARK DOWN

378
00:12:48.801 --> 00:12:51.470
THERE. IT'S SPOOKY. OH, THAT'S

379
00:12:51.470 --> 00:12:53.139
A FORBIDDING PLACE, THE BOTTOMS

380
00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:55.307
OF THE DEEPEST HOLES OF THIS

381
00:12:55.307 --> 00:12:57.309
RIVER. DIG IN HERE. THERE SHOULD

382
00:12:57.309 --> 00:12:58.944
BE TWO BIG NUGGETS.

383
00:12:58.944 --> 00:13:00.479
KIA: YOU SAVED THEM?!

384
00:13:00.479 --> 00:13:01.480
TOM: I SAVED THEM. THERE'S TWO

385
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:02.782
BIG NUGGETS IN HERE.

386
00:13:02.782 --> 00:13:04.784
KIA: [LAUGHING] OH, MY GOSH, ARE

387
00:13:04.784 --> 00:13:06.786
YOU FOR REAL? OK, THERE'S A--

388
00:13:06.786 --> 00:13:08.320
OK, HERE'S ONE. THIS IS A PRETTY

389
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.321
ONE. OK, WAIT--

390
00:13:09.321 --> 00:13:10.322
TOM: THERE'S A REAL BIG ONE.

391
00:13:10.322 --> 00:13:11.157
KIA: WAIT, WAIT.

392
00:13:11.157 --> 00:13:12.992
TOM: IT HAD QUARTZ ON IT. IT WAS

393
00:13:12.992 --> 00:13:15.194
A QUARTZ AND GOLD NUGGET.

394
00:13:15.194 --> 00:13:16.629
KIA: IT'S NOT IN HERE.

395
00:13:16.629 --> 00:13:17.630
TOM: IT'S NOT?

396
00:13:17.630 --> 00:13:18.631
KIA: NOT IN--WAIT--I--

397
00:13:18.631 --> 00:13:20.065
NO, IT'S NOT IN HERE.

398
00:13:20.065 --> 00:13:21.066
TOM: AH, MAN!

399
00:13:21.066 --> 00:13:22.168
KIA: IT'S NOT IN HERE.

400
00:13:22.168 --> 00:13:23.736
TOM: YOU MEAN I LOST IT?

401
00:13:23.736 --> 00:13:24.737
KIA: YOU LOST IT. MUST HAVE

402
00:13:24.737 --> 00:13:26.071
'CAUSE IT'S NOT HERE.

403
00:13:26.071 --> 00:13:27.406
TOM: WELL, I GOT ONE OF THEM.

404
00:13:27.406 --> 00:13:30.176
UHH! THAT WAS A NICE ONE.

405
00:13:30.176 --> 00:13:31.510
IT GOT AWAY, HUH?

406
00:13:31.510 --> 00:13:32.845
KIA: THESE TWO ARE DIFFERENT

407
00:13:32.845 --> 00:13:34.680
COLORS. LOOK AT THAT. THIS ONE'S

408
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:35.915
DARKER AND THIS ONE'S LIGHTER.

409
00:13:35.915 --> 00:13:36.916
TOM: BEAUTIFUL.

410
00:13:36.916 --> 00:13:37.983
KIA: BEAUTIFUL.

411
00:13:37.983 --> 00:13:39.018
TOM: THINK I'M GOING

412
00:13:39.018 --> 00:13:39.852
HYPOTHERMIC.

413
00:13:39.852 --> 00:13:41.020
KIA: WARM UP, BECAUSE

414
00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:42.354
WE GOT SOME DIGGING TO DO.

415
00:13:42.354 --> 00:13:44.190
MAYBE WE SHOULD DO SOME STUFF

416
00:13:44.190 --> 00:13:45.357
OUTSIDE OF THE RIVER.

417
00:13:45.357 --> 00:13:47.359
TOM: YEAH. THERE'S STUFF THAT

418
00:13:47.359 --> 00:13:49.094
GETS DUMPED BACK INTO THE RIVER.

419
00:13:49.094 --> 00:13:51.197
US PROSPECTORS, WE SEE IT.

420
00:13:51.197 --> 00:13:52.698
WHEN WE SEE IT, WE PULL IT BACK

421
00:13:52.698 --> 00:13:54.200
OUT OF THERE. TRASH, HOSES,

422
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.701
LEAD, ALL KINDS OF LEAD. THERE'S

423
00:13:55.701 --> 00:13:57.369
A LOT OF LEAD DOWN THERE ON THE

424
00:13:57.369 --> 00:13:58.871
BOTTOM. PULLING THAT STUFF OUT,

425
00:13:58.871 --> 00:14:00.139
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

426
00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:01.473
CLEAN IT UP.

427
00:14:05.411 --> 00:14:06.712
ALAN: TOM, COME OVER HERE AND

428
00:14:06.712 --> 00:14:08.080
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE GOT OFF

429
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.381
THE RIVER IN 3 HOURS OF DIVING.

430
00:14:09.381 --> 00:14:10.816
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

431
00:14:10.816 --> 00:14:12.651
TOM: MAN, THAT'S A LOT OF LEAD.

432
00:14:12.651 --> 00:14:14.553
ALAN: THAT'S 2,300 POUNDS OF

433
00:14:14.553 --> 00:14:16.155
TOXIC METAL WE BROUGHT OUT OF

434
00:14:16.155 --> 00:14:17.723
THAT ONE SALMON HOLE.

435
00:14:17.723 --> 00:14:19.225
TOM: YOU THINK ABOUT EVERY TIME

436
00:14:19.225 --> 00:14:21.227
SOMEBODY HOOKS ONE OF THESE RIGS

437
00:14:21.227 --> 00:14:24.396
UP AND THEN THEY LOSE THE FISH,

438
00:14:24.396 --> 00:14:26.065
THEY LOSE THIS. SO THERE'S THIS

439
00:14:26.065 --> 00:14:28.767
CONSTANT FLOW OF THIS LEAD GOING

440
00:14:28.767 --> 00:14:30.769
BACK INTO THE RIVER. GOLD'S LIKE

441
00:14:30.769 --> 00:14:32.404
TWICE AS HEAVY AS THIS LEAD, BUT

442
00:14:32.404 --> 00:14:33.772
THE LEAD'S HEAVY, TOO, AND IT

443
00:14:33.772 --> 00:14:35.241
TRAPS IN THERE. WHEN YOU'RE

444
00:14:35.241 --> 00:14:36.642
MINING FOR GOLD, YOU'RE PICKING

445
00:14:36.642 --> 00:14:37.643
UP LEAD, TOO.

446
00:14:37.643 --> 00:14:38.744
ALAN: TOM, THIS WILL BE IN THE

447
00:14:38.744 --> 00:14:40.246
RIVER FOR THE NEXT 150 YEARS

448
00:14:40.246 --> 00:14:41.747
IF WE WEREN'T OUT HERE CLEANING

449
00:14:41.747 --> 00:14:43.415
IT UP. 60 MILES OF RIVER HERE

450
00:14:43.415 --> 00:14:44.583
THAT WE COULD CLEAN THIS OUT OF.

451
00:14:44.583 --> 00:14:45.584
TOM: PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT

452
00:14:45.584 --> 00:14:46.418
THAT.

453
00:14:46.418 --> 00:14:47.519
ALAN: NO.

454
00:14:50.723 --> 00:14:53.792
TOM: OH, I'M SO WARM.

455
00:14:53.792 --> 00:14:55.094
KIA: I KNOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU

456
00:14:55.094 --> 00:14:56.996
STAYED IN THE WATER THAT LONG.

457
00:14:56.996 --> 00:14:58.931
TOM: OH, BUT THIS WARM WATER IS

458
00:14:58.931 --> 00:15:00.766
RELAXING ME. I THINK I GOTTA GO

459
00:15:00.766 --> 00:15:02.101
POTTY. BUT I'LL NEVER MAKE IT

460
00:15:02.101 --> 00:15:04.270
OUT OF THIS WETSUIT IN TIME.

461
00:15:04.270 --> 00:15:06.438
KIA: YOU ARE NOT GONNA PEE IN

462
00:15:06.438 --> 00:15:07.973
YOUR WETSUIT.

463
00:15:15.614 --> 00:15:16.949
TOM: YESTERDAY WE WERE

464
00:15:16.949 --> 00:15:18.284
PROSPECTING OUT OF RIGGINS,

465
00:15:18.284 --> 00:15:19.952
IDAHO. IT'S NOT DREDGING SEASON,

466
00:15:19.952 --> 00:15:21.553
SO WE WERE DIVING DOWN IN THE

467
00:15:21.553 --> 00:15:23.322
DEEPEST HOLES IN THE RIVER WITH

468
00:15:23.322 --> 00:15:25.324
OUR SCUBA GEAR, LOOKING FOR GOLD

469
00:15:25.324 --> 00:15:26.692
WITH OUR METAL DETECTOR.

470
00:15:26.692 --> 00:15:28.694
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TRY OUR

471
00:15:28.694 --> 00:15:30.029
LUCK ON THE BANKS.

472
00:15:30.029 --> 00:15:33.565
A LITTLE BIT WARMER.

473
00:15:33.565 --> 00:15:35.234
ALAN KNOWS THIS STRETCH OF THE

474
00:15:35.234 --> 00:15:37.303
RIVER LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND,

475
00:15:37.303 --> 00:15:38.604
AND HE'S GOT A FEW TRICKS

476
00:15:38.604 --> 00:15:40.205
UP HIS SLEEVE TO PUT US ON SOME

477
00:15:40.205 --> 00:15:42.541
REALLY GOOD GOLD ON THE BANK.

478
00:15:45.010 --> 00:15:46.612
ALAN: TODAY I GOT DAVE AND

479
00:15:46.612 --> 00:15:47.947
CHARLES, LONG-TIME GOLD MINERS

480
00:15:47.947 --> 00:15:49.315

00:15:49.315 --> 00:15:50.582
BE DOWN HERE SHOVELING GOLD AND

482
00:15:50.582 --> 00:15:51.984
WE'RE GONNA GET SOME GOLD TODAY.

483
00:15:51.984 --> 00:15:53.252
CHARLES AND DAVE, COME OVER AND

484
00:15:53.252 --> 00:15:54.920

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:56.755
GET MORE GOLD. WE NEED YOU GUYS

486
00:15:56.755 --> 00:15:58.090
DOING IT, OK?

487
00:15:58.090 --> 00:15:59.591
TOM: THAT'S THE TRICK, IS TO GET

488
00:15:59.591 --> 00:16:00.926
PEOPLE TO DO THE DIGGING FOR

489
00:16:00.926 --> 00:16:01.760
YOU.

490
00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:02.561
ALAN: I LEARNED THAT FROM

491
00:16:02.561 --> 00:16:03.829
GEORGE. GEORGE TAUGHT ME THAT.

492
00:16:03.829 --> 00:16:05.164
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO

493
00:16:05.164 --> 00:16:06.265
YOURSELF, IT'S WHAT YOU CAN GET

494
00:16:06.265 --> 00:16:07.599
OTHERS TO DO FOR YOU. YOU KNOW

495
00:16:07.599 --> 00:16:09.668
THAT, TOM. THERE YOU GO. THE

496
00:16:09.668 --> 00:16:11.003
GOLD'S RIGHT THERE.

497
00:16:11.003 --> 00:16:13.005
TOM: DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG.

498
00:16:13.005 --> 00:16:14.206
DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG,

499
00:16:14.206 --> 00:16:16.141
DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG.

500
00:16:20.245 --> 00:16:22.715
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT AN OLD-

501
00:16:22.715 --> 00:16:24.717
TIME ROCKER BOX WITH A NEW TWIST

502
00:16:24.717 --> 00:16:25.718
ON IT.

503
00:16:25.718 --> 00:16:27.286
ALAN: YES, WE DO. YES, WE DO,

504
00:16:27.286 --> 00:16:28.454
TOM. LOOK AT THAT WASHING THAT

505
00:16:28.454 --> 00:16:29.521
GOLD OFF THEM ROCKS.

506
00:16:29.521 --> 00:16:30.255
TOM: CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR

507
00:16:30.255 --> 00:16:31.724
SPOT HERE, ALAN?

508
00:16:31.724 --> 00:16:33.125
ALAN: YEAH, TOM, THIS IS AN AREA

509
00:16:33.125 --> 00:16:34.059
RIGHT HERE WHERE THEY

510
00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:35.728
HYDRAULICKED THIS MOUNTAIN BACK

511
00:16:35.728 --> 00:16:37.229
HERE IN THE TWENTIES. AND THEY

512
00:16:37.229 --> 00:16:38.731
WORKED THIS ALL DOWN. IT'S GOT

513
00:16:38.731 --> 00:16:39.965
MOST OF THE GOLD OFF FROM IT.

514
00:16:39.965 --> 00:16:41.633
AND THEN AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE

515
00:16:41.633 --> 00:16:43.002
BY, THE HIGH WATER HAS TURNED IT

516
00:16:43.002 --> 00:16:45.004
BACK INTO AN INSIDE TURN AND

517
00:16:45.004 --> 00:16:47.239
REPLENISHED THE GOLD BACK INTO

518
00:16:47.239 --> 00:16:49.141
ABOUT THE TOP 18 INCHES.

519
00:16:49.141 --> 00:16:50.175
TOM: YOU GOT THE OLD-TIMERS AND

520
00:16:50.175 --> 00:16:51.310
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK, WELL,

521
00:16:51.310 --> 00:16:52.444
THOSE OLD-TIMERS WERE OUT THERE

522
00:16:52.444 --> 00:16:53.979
AND THEY DUG. THEY GOT ALL THE

523
00:16:53.979 --> 00:16:55.647
GOLD. BUT THIS IS JUST GOLD

524
00:16:55.647 --> 00:16:57.116
THAT'S COME IN SINCE

525
00:16:57.116 --> 00:16:58.484
THEY ALREADY DID THEIR DIGGING.

526
00:16:58.484 --> 00:16:59.918
THIS IS LIKE NEW GOLD

527
00:16:59.918 --> 00:17:01.453
THAT'S COME BACK IN HERE.

528
00:17:01.453 --> 00:17:03.622
MAYBE THEY GOT ALL THE GOLD THEY

529
00:17:03.622 --> 00:17:05.257
WANTED AND WAS ABLE TO BUY A BIG

530
00:17:05.257 --> 00:17:07.259
ISLAND DOWN IN THE CARIBBEAN OR

531
00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:09.261
SOMETHING. BUT I'LL BE JUST

532
00:17:09.261 --> 00:17:11.930
HAPPY WITH A NEW CAR OR MAYBE AN

533
00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:14.400
OUTFIT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,

534
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.135
OR A SHOPPING SPREE, HUH?

535
00:17:16.135 --> 00:17:17.336
KIA: OR AT LEAST JUST SOME GOLD

536
00:17:17.336 --> 00:17:18.337
TO BRING HOME FOR MOM.

537
00:17:18.337 --> 00:17:19.505
TOM: OR AT LEAST ENOUGH TO FILL

538
00:17:19.505 --> 00:17:20.506
A TOOTH OR TWO.

539
00:17:20.506 --> 00:17:21.840
[ALL LAUGHING]

540
00:17:21.840 --> 00:17:23.675
YEAH. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S GET

ALAN: ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GET

00:17:25.844 --> 00:17:28.180
SOME GOLD.

544
00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:29.515
TOM: ALAN'S A REALLY GOOD

545
00:17:29.515 --> 00:17:31.183
PROSPECTOR BECAUSE HE'S BEEN

546
00:17:31.183 --> 00:17:33.018
DOING IT FOR A LONG TIME. HE WAS
