- Alright. So it is windy as F*** outside.
It is gonna be up to 30 miles
an hour, wind gusts.
No, one's gonna be able to hear anything.
YouTube Gold.
- YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah, we got
the army here, everybody.
It is gonna be very challenging today
to get out, to get that gold.
Lyle, would you agree?
- I dunno, I think we're gonna get
it done, though.
- [RCSparks] Blue hat in the back.
Do you agree it's gonna
be challenging today?
- Sure is.
- [RCSparks] You know what I found out?
- [Lyle] Leprechauns like gold.
- [RCSparks] I was able to get the County
to extend our water license one extra week
because I put my back out last week,
and then I find out you're not coming
for the last episode, Jiv.
- Yeah, have to move.
- [RCSparks] Where, to another city, what?
- Out of province.
- [RCSparks] You're leaving.
This is the last time we see you.
- Our last episode.
- [RCSparks] So, that totally F***ed up
my plans for the last episode.
So, how about that, hey?
Selfish.
He's selfish, wouldn't
you say though, Matt?
- Yeah, I would say.
- [Jiv] I dunno, I drove eight hours
in the middle of the night.
- [RCSparks] I'm not
even listening to you.
Everybody, you ready to get going?
- Yeah!
- [RCSparks] Yeah, let's get outside.
One, two, three, YouTube Gold!
- YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah!
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
bring everybody back in.
- Hey!
- We're back in.
- [RCSparks] Okay, so taking your health
into consideration, I
know a lot of you guys
are older and sensitive to wind now.
So, please come on, come on up.
collect your
(horn honks)
earplugs, please.
One at a time, you can start right here.
I got one for each of you.
No, open it up.
Just take one, put it
back down on the package.
Jiv, come on over here, one.
Yeah, come on.
Everyone gets one.
One earplug, that way-
(crosstalk drowns out speaker)
You're gonna complain that you didn't
get to hear anybody.
So, you only get one.
So, just stand in the
direction that the wind
is blowing with that ear plug,
and you should be fine.
- Good thing only one ear's working.
- I can't get one in my right ear anyway.
- [RCSparks] What's wrong with you?
- My arm don't reach that high.
- [RCSparks] Come back here, what?
- I buggered up my shoulder, man.
- [RCSparks] How did you
bugger up your shoulder?
- Oh, you don't wanna know.
(chuckles)
It's embarrassing.
- [RCSparks] Has he been working
with you rookie?
- That'll just fill the comment section.
What's wrong with Steve,
why won't he help?
- [Jiv] He was tugging too hard.
(horn honks)
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Sluice?
- Yeah?
- [RCSparks] We are totally conscious
of everybody's health here.
Can you hear me in the other ear?
- Yeah, what's that?
- [RCSparks] So, I want you
to get a tape measure,
and since your shoulder
is bothering you today,
just make sure that everybody
is six feet apart at all times.
- Oh, cool.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, so put on your mask
and make sure.
- All right.
I ain't wearing no mask.
- [RCSparks] Why?
- I'll just have my tape out to 12 feet,
and I'll measure that way.
- [RCSparks] I like that idea.
That's a better idea.
(wind blows loudly)
Bob has been out here weathering the storm
the whole time.
The wind is just starting to blow now.
(wind blows loudly)
Did you get the tape already?
- I did.
- [RCSparks] Six feet apart.
I see people breaching it already.
- I'm not gonna be able
to do the 12 foot thing
this thing breaks at like eight feet.
- [RCSparks] Okay, our electrical board
is looking a little worse
for wear in the storm.
- Gonna be 60 digs, go!
- [RCSparks] Rookie, are you good with how
this board is flopping around?
- Totally.
- Totally?
- Can you hear me?
- Yeah, it's fine, almost (chuckles).
- Yeah, that's good.
- [RCSparks] Let's fire it up!
- Fire it up!
- Fire it up!
(water flows)
- [Male] Nice, here it comes, water going.
(wind blows)
(motor whirs loudly)
Welcome to YouTube Gold.
If you've never seen this show before,
where the F*** have you been?
(motor whirs loudly)
We got power to sluice one,
power to sluice two.
(motor whirs loudly)
Little red and the trommel,
round and round she goes.
(motor whirs loudly)
We've got water and the
shaker plant right here.
Sluice box number three.
(motor whirs loudly)
Over to the two conveyors,
over to the Gold Fox Omni Fox
into sluice box number four,
and the final sluice box number five.
(motor whirs loudly)
The YouTube Gold mascot tree
has grown in the pond.
Check this out.
(motor whirs loudly)
This is one of the protected
trees we have here.
That's why we haven't
been able to dig it out.
That things gonna grow massive.
(motor whirs loudly)
We only have two more days to mine
this whole place before we lose
our water license,
and then this all comes to an end.
That's why we got almost all hands on deck
that could be here in a healthy way.
Shout out to those that
can't be here today,
who want to be here,
or for folks that are watching at home.
Type in right now in that comment section,
YouTube Gold in support
of these boys coming out.
(motor whirs loudly)
How you doin'?
Are they all six feet apart?
- Yeah, so far so good.
- [RCSparks] Excellent.
- [Sluice] Looks like the generator's
trying to run away.
(motor whirs)
- [Male] We might wanna
put it up on a block
so it doesn't roll away.
(motor whirs loudly)
Hey, Sluice, how long have we been
pushing YouTube Gold now?
Digging YouTube Gold?
- Three years, 50 some episodes.
- How many times have we been on scene
where our bodies are hurting in the show?
- Oh.
(laughs)
Almost everyday.
(laughs) YouTube Gold, baby.
- YouTube Gold.
(chuckles)
(motor whirs loudly)
- [RCSparks] Michael,
getting right to work.
Look at this.
(motor whirs loudly)
Wearing matching shorts
today with his excavator.
Very bold move on the mine site here.
(upbeat rock music)
(machinery whirs)
(motor whirs and rumbles loudly)
(machinery whirs)
(motor whirs loudly)
(machinery whirs)
(wind blows)
Rookie trying his hand
at running
the giant Komatsu.
(motor whirs loudly)
(wind blows loudly)
Way bigger scoops than that, Pookie.
- That's a pretty damn big scoop, man.
- [RCSparks] We need big scoops.
(motor whirs loudly)
- Clear.
- [RCSparks] We don't have the time
for small scoops anymore!
- Can't hear you!
I got an earplug in this ear.
Yell in this ear.
- [RCSparks] Well, that's
why I was on that side.
(wind blows loudly)
- No, here.
- [RCSparks] There.
- Now I can hear ya.
- [RCSparks] The season is coming
to a close, even weather-wise.
We got to get as big a scoops as possible.
- Feels like winter.
- [RCSparks] It does (chuckles).
(motor whirs loudly)
How did we go from a beautiful summer
two weeks ago,
to this?
- Mother Nature.
(chuckles)
(wind blows loudly)
- [RCSparks] Just seems to be
a very unfunny answer, Lyle.
Thank you for joining us today.
- That's all I have, I'm sorry.
(chuckles)
- How's it going?
- [RCSparks] How are you doing?
- [Aaron] Good.
(motor whirs)
- [RCSparks] Sluice!
- [Sluice] Yeah?
- [RCSparks] Where is the tape measure?
We got an infraction here.
(laughs)
No, they just moved.
Make sure they're within six feet.
I think Lyle's been
breaching everything here.
(motor whirs)
- Whoa.
- [RCSparks] Hey, you're closer than-
- Just six.
- [RCSparks] No, you were way too close.
You were way too...
Oh, my God.
(motor whirs loudly)
(machinery whirs)
(wind blows loudly)
The wind is literally
blowing my arms around
with the camera.
(motor whirs)
- [Aaron] I got no steer,
or you got no swing.
- [RCSparks] No swing?
- [Aaron] No swing.
- [RCSparks] Looks like
you got a battery issue.
(motor whirs)
- [Pookie] L plug, B plug.
- [RCSparks] It just
died on ya, the swing?
- Yeah, we got no swing.
- [RCSparks] Then got to bring it out
and have a look at it on the table.
Just watch when you pick it up,
not to bend the side,
aluminum on the side,
the running boards and the shit.
The drivers already do a bad enough job.
- Someone wanna take the remote, please?
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
- Thanks, Sluice.
- [RCSparks] Good lifting, sir.
This excavator literally weighs 80 pounds.
- Oh, man.
- [RCSparks] Can you feel the 80 pounds?
- I can feel the 80 pounds.
- [RCSparks] So, we got a half,
half a dump truck full.
One scoop (chuckles).
- [Lyle] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] This is like our normal,
typical load anyway, though.
(wind blows loudly)
You feed that conveyor as much
as you can, Michael.
- Okay.
- [RCSparks] It makes all the difference
as possible today, okay?
- I'll fill her up.
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
(motor whirs)
- Okay?
(motor whirs)
- [RCSparks] Pookie, you got lots
of aggregate up here.
- [Pookie] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, can
you come give it a shake?
Shake, shake, shake.
- [Pookie] I can do that.
- [RCSparks] More than two shakes,
and then you're playing with it.
- Let me dump my load first.
(motor whirs)
- [RCSparks] Round and
round that trommel goes.
Sorting out everything,
hoping for some big gold today.
Moving lots of dirt.
(motor whirs)
It's a messy process, but
someone's gotta do it.
(wind blows)
Yeah, all the aggregate, hey.
It's almost like we need more pump.
There we go.
There, we're missing.
- How's that?
- [RCSparks] Yeah, don't want it too much
cause it'll splash up on the conveyor,
and then make the dirt stick to it.
(water flows)
Perfect, now it's getting it.
(motor whirs)
We need as much gold
to come in as possible.
(wind blows loudly)
The wind being very challenging,
blowing some of it away,
but some is better than none.
(machinery whirs)
- [Michael] Whoa.
- [RCSparks] Oh, man.
- Think it's low on hydro fluid.
- [RCSparks] You need fluid?
Yeah, I see you got a leaking ram
on the front.
(machinery whirs)
(mumbles)
I see it.
(mumbles)
Okay, then shut her down for a minute,
and we'll get you some hydros.
(motors whir)
(wind blows loudly)
Wow!
That's crazy.
(motors whir)
Come on up and start doing...
Playing with it.
Shut it down!
Shut it down!
Shut it down!
(machinery whirs)
Thank you, sir.
We're tracking big time.
(wind blows loudly)
- [Pookie] Sorry?
- [RCSparks] We're tracking, it's rubbing
like crazy down here,
and it's like coldly over here.
So, we need to straighten this out.
- [Pookie] With the likes of this one?
- [RCSparks] One or the other.
- [Pookie] Yeah.
(machinery squeaks and whirs)
- [RCSparks] Right now he's adjusting
the track tension on either...
On the conveyor tension on either side.
(wind blows loudly)
And that way it stops the squeaking.
Look at that, good job, sir.
(motors whir loudly)
(wind blows loudly)
(machinery whirs)
(machinery whirs and squeaks)
(machinery whirs and squeaks)
(wind blows)
(machinery whirs and squeaks)
(wind blows)
- [Lyle] Oh, we filled up the box already.
- [RCSparks] Oh, we need more dirt
than that, man.
We're never gonna make any money
if that's all the dirt we're moving
in the last two days.
But I see if it was any heavier,
it would make a huge
obstacle over that stone.
Everyone wants us to blast that stone out,
but we've got like fields
of dry hay everywhere,
and wheat, yeah?
(motors whir loudly)
- [Tyler] I need to turn it around.
(motors whir loudly)
(motors whir loudly)
(wind blows loudly)
(motors whir loudly)
- [RCSparks] Round and
round that trommel goes,
separating all the dirt that comes
through the conveyor.
(motor whirs)
We got him down here right now,
collecting all the rocks.
Far enough away, no problems there.
It's gonna go ahead and...
Round and round.
(motor whirs)
(motors whir loudly)
(wind blows loudly)
(hooters honk loudly)
- Rookie invasion.
(mumbles)
(wind drowns out speakers)
- [RCSparks] We only have two days, man.
We got to get all this out.
I don't care as much about the road
as we do about the gold
coming out of the ground.
(motors whir loudly)
- [RCSparks] Beer break!
- [Male] Beer Break!
- Just checking out Bob's selection,
he's got a good selection today.
- [RCSparks] Good!
- Oh, here's a good one.
- [RCSparks] Will you do me a favor
and hand out the beers then,
since you and Bob are
so friendly these days?
- I'm gonna do it one at a time.
Oh, who gets the Belgium White?
(wind blows loudly)
- [RCSparks] Six feet apart, gentlemen.
- I dunno if I can
spread my legs that wide.
- Lyle, you have a creative
place for your brew.
- I do.
(laughs)
That's what that pocket's
for, I'm pretty sure.
(laughs)
(upbeat rock music)
(motor whirs loudly)
- [RCSparks] Nice driving, good job,
boys, team work.
(upbeat rock music)
Yeah.
Good job, boys.
YouTube Gold!
- [Group] YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
We want to make it memorable, boys.
- Yeah.
- [RCSparks] You okay?
What's up?
- [Tyler] The back's locked up.
- [RCSparks] The back's locked.
We got something going on.
(motor whirs)
Something's in...
Can you back up?
(motor whirs)
No, hey?
I wonder if you've had a motor go out.
(motor whirs)
We've seen it before.
- [Male] (crosstalk drowns out speaker)
jammed in it.
- [RCSparks] Turn off that pump.
(motor whirs)
Yeah, we're just gonna have to lift it,
and you're gonna have to investigate.
(wind blows loudly)
- [Tyler] Okay.
(motors whir)
- [RCSparks] Shut her
down, it's lunchtime!
(group shouts incoherently)
Lunchtime!
- We just got goin.
(motors whir)
- [RCSparks] Okay, everybody staggered
six feet apart.
Sluice, make sure you're six feet apart.
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
Now, everybody has been
saying that your...
Hard hats, man, you gotta be careful.
(mumbles)
Good point, good.
You pointed it out.
- I mean, Michael's like-
(crosstalk drowns out speaker)
out of nowhere.
I've seen it first hand.
- [RCSparks] You never-
- I've experienced it first hand.
- [RCSparks] Right, you never know when
a lipo's heading straight your way.
- Exactly.
- [RCSparks] So, we know
it was your birthday,
and people have been
complaining about lunch,
so we got a little special lunch for you.
Bring it.
Hey, my lovely life, Jem.
- How's it going?
- [RCSparks] Welcome.
Bring it on in here,
but I want you to know
that Jiv completely F***ed up your cake.
And he was supposed to
come on the last episode,
but he didn't.
So, it's no longer a birthday cake.
What is it Jem?
Pull up the lid, please.
- I'd love to.
Da, da, da, now that you can see it.
- [RCSparks] There you go.
Come on in here, guys.
Jiv, here you go.
(claps)
- [Jiv] That's six feet.
- [RCSparks] Everybody clap.
It was gonna be happy birthday,
but instead it's a happy going away Jiv.
(claps)
- Thank you.
- [RCSparks] So, you guys
can all complain today
about lunch, but what did they say away
in the Victorian times?
Let them eat cake.
- Oh.
- [RCSparks] Oh, you're welcome.
I can't believe everybody's not up to date
on their current history.
- I'm not that old yet.
- It comes with rings too.
- [RCSparks] These are rings?
- [Lyle] Yeah!
- [RCSparks] Nice, one each.
There you go.
Well, hold on.
Six feet away, six feet apart.
(crosstalk drowns out speaker)
There you go.
- Perfect.
- [RCSparks] Thank you.
Throw it at Jiv, will ya?
Just yeah, there you go.
You're welcome.
- [Lyle] Couldn't get gold rings, hey?
- [RCSparks] There you go.
Well, this, you know
how much this cake cost?
You can't just get a custom cake like this
out in the middle of nowhere for free.
- [Lyle] Oh, the misses didn't make it?
- [RCSparks] Of course she did,
look how beautiful it is.
- I brought it up, didn't I?
- [RCSparks] Right, that's all.
- True.
- [RCSparks] That's right.
(chuckles)
Okay, thank you.
Back to the kitchen.
Done with you.
- Oo!
Oh what, everybody's complaining?
(laughs)
Ugh, they're upset
when I said go back to the kitchen,
but where else am I gonna get my lunch?
- Exactly (chuckles).
- [RCSparks] Thank you. my love.
- You're welcome, my sweety.
(chuckles)
We're all gonna miss
you, Jiv, a little bit.
Lyle's a little bit less...
He doesn't even really care as much.
- A little bit, I might miss your bullshit
just getting too little penalty
during loading games.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Ah, yeah, Rookie.
It turns out that the true
loading king is leaving.
You might have a shot this year.
- Oh (laughs).
- [RCSparks] All right, right on.
(mumbles)
Yeah, that one's for my kid.
Get out of here.
You guys all full of cake?
You ready to go back to work?
- Heck yeah!
- [RCSparks] One, two,
three, YouTube Gold!
- YouTube Gold!
(chuckles)
- [RCSparks] Why do I say
one, two, three first?
- I dunno.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Let's fire it up!
- Fire it up!
- Fire it up!
- Fire it up!
- [RCSparks] Away we go.
(motor whirs)
Let's make the final
push here for the day.
(motor whirs)
(machinery whirs)
Volvo makes it out of the funnel mine.
It's just gotten bigger and bigger new one
trying to back his way in.
(wind blows loudly)
- [Jiv] Nice.
Everyone was saying that we needed
to blast that rock out, but if we did,
we would have had a hole.
Trying to fill it in at that angle
would have not been easy.
Or as funny and risky.
(machinery whirs)
(motor whirs)
Here a non-working beer break.
Pookie, you're always on beer break.
Good job.
- Well, yeah, it's YouTube Gold.
- [RCSparks] Yeah (chuckles).
- That's what we do.
- [RCSparks] It's required.
- Yeah, I gotta keep up,
I gotta make up for Joe.
He's not here.
- [RCSparks] Uh, I know.
I wished him good health,
told him good luck,
but if he can't be here,
you make up for him.
- Exactly.
- Uh, good job.
- Everybody drink twice as much to Joe.
- [RCSparks] We need twice
as much beer consumed!
I see it at Rook...
Aaron's giving him a little show there.
Thank you there, blue hat!
Yeah.
(laughs)
- [Tyler] That's why I put this on.
- [RCSparks] A lot of people don't know
cause I'm editing, but
how is the wind outside?
- Brutal.
- [RCSparks] Hardhat on, gentlemen.
Always, always be on guard, right?
You never know what's gonna come out
of the air, right?
Look at, lipo battery to the head.
You didn't know that was coming.
(laughs)
- True.
- You can really tell a sense of fall
is in the air.
Already.
(wind blows loudly)
Aaron?
- Yeah?
- [RCSparks] Hey, if
you're gonna be putting
fluid into the Big Johnson,
you gotta be wearing the goggles, bro.
- No.
- [RCSparks] Don't worry,
they were wiped off
after the last movie.
- All right.
(chuckles)
- [RCSparks] And even pass,
you might as well just wear them
cause the dust is floating around out
here like crazy.
- Sounds good.
- [RCSparks] Safety nineteens, brother.
(motor whirs loudly)
Matt?
Good idea, I'm gonna
send a truck down to you
so you can take all the
tailings off the shaker,
and run 'em through the other plant.
Take 'em up to rookie there,
and he can dump it on the conveyor.
- Okay.
- [RCSparks] Okay, thank you.
So, all these tailings that get washed
and bounced out,
we're gonna have a go through
the other one as well.
Just to make sure we
audit all the gold we can.
- Where to plug it in, man?
(wind blows loudly)
(motors whir)
(machinery and water whir)
- [RCSparks] After you're
done with this load,
go over to Matt so you
can put the tailings
in the back off of the shaker plant.
- There?
- [RCSparks] Yeah, we're gonna take
all the tailings, and put em through
the green plant.
- Yeah, Lyle's driving that truck.
- [RCSparks] Lyle?
- Yes, sir?
- [RCSparks] Times two.
- Okay.
(motor whirs loudly)
(machinery whirs and rumbles)
- [RCSparks] So, what
you're seeing right here
is all the dirt comes up off the conveyor
into the hopper.
Then the hopper gets all
that stuff washed around
with the pressure of the washer
into this round trommel that's spinning,
and sorting all the aggregate.
All the stuff that's allowed through
the trommel holes comes down
into the nugget trap.
All the super heavy
stuff gets stuck there,
and then everything else gets washed
all the way down these mats.
(water flows)
The sand, all the heavy,
all the light stuff
gets washed away and only the heavys stay
in the mats.
That's how we capture the gold.
(motor whirs loudly)
(wind blows loudly)
- [Male] Pookie, you're
gonna drive the sealings
with that.
- [Pookie] I dunno if that (incoherent).
(motor whirs loudly)
No?
- [Male] No.
(motor whirs loudly)
- Pookie?
- Sure, boss?
- People are gonna start thinking
we know what we're doing around here
if we keep being this efficient.
- Oh, good Lord, no.
- I thought when we
started, efficiency was also
way down on the priority list.
- I don't think it even makes the list.
(motor whirs)
- [RCSparks] Michael's getting low on pay.
Those trucks keep moving though,
more and more, round and round they go.
(machinery whirs)
(wind blows loudly)
The tens of thousands of milliamp hours
we go through every single episode
of YouTube Gold.
It's crazy to think.
(motor whirs)
What's wrong with it, Sluice?
- I'm not sure yet,
but I said one of the
tracks keeps stopping.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, well
their individual motors
with the transmission
right locked into it.
(motor whirs)
Is it working or no?
- Seems to be, yeah.
- [RCSparks] It's weird that it just
kind of shorts out, hey?
- Well, now I got the
track to kind of stop.
Seems to be working fine right now.
(motor and machinery whirs)
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
That's good, I'm glad.
Such a cool machine, hey?
Can you imagine-
- [Sluice] It's pretty awesome.
- [RCSparks] Everything we've done
with these machines
over all these episodes,
and they're still going strong.
- [Sluice] They are,
they're pretty reliable.
- [RCSparks] Yes.
The switch box being absolutely fantastic.
If you've never seen this before,
welcome.
(motor whirs loudly)
Hold on, I gotta light my...
(motor whirs)
Nevermind, just hold on.
(motor whirs)
- [Male] Come on, you
holding up the (mumbles).
- [RCSparks] I know,
but the whole thing is,
I gotta use the power for
the lighter (chuckles).
Does anybody else got a lighter?
(motor whirs)
Nevermind, I got it.
(motor whirs)
(upbeat action music)
(motor and water whir loudly)
Bring it in, get paid!
(upbeat action music)
These guys still prevailing
through the wind.
Trying to get as much moved as possible.
(upbeat action music)
Beautiful.
All the power being
distributed on the block.
(motor whirs)
Not the safest thing we've ever done,
but it is much more effective than before.
(machinery whirs and squeaks)
What's going on?
- We got a jam.
- [RCSparks] A jam?
- So, we run her backwards
for a second here.
- [RCSparks] Oh, yeah.
She's traced over quite a bit too.
She's tracked over.
(motor whirs)
It's rubbing on the side.
Oh, that's way too much.
There's something going on there.
- Yeah, there's gonna be
a rock in that roller.
Every once in a while
it gets to a rough spot.
- [RCSparks] Okay,
shall I bend it forward?
Get it away from the roller.
(motor whirs)
I did that.
(motor whirs loudly)
(water flows)
Here, hold the camera.
(motor whirs)
We're overflowing cause there's too much
vegetation in the trap.
Now it's going back down.
This is how we get all that water
to go back down to the recycling pond.
Back down in the...
Down in the settling pond.
This is where all the tailings go.
Then we can always dig this out as we go,
but you can see the water is going
into the spout, goes
right down to the bottom.
(motor whirs)
So, we've always been pushing the dirt in.
They've been digging down for a long time,
but the system, Pookie and Jiv,
both of them working on this loader.
Even Lyle getting a chance.
(wind blows loudly)
They seem to be maximizing everything.
Good job, boys!
- [Jiv] Get you more pay!
- [RCSparks] Yeah, more pay!
- [Jiv] One more paycheck!
- [RCSparks] One more bucket,
and then we're gonna shut her down.
- Okay.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Literally six feet away
with a zoom lens.
- Yeah, you are.
(motor whirs)
(motor drowns out speaker)
- [RCSparks] Hold on, hold on.
You got a boom problem right there.
That screw is about to fall out.
- [Sluice] Again?
- [RCSparks] Yeah, we're
gonna have to fix that.
(motor whirs)
Look at it right here, man.
- [Sluice] Oh, this thing.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, right there.
So, we just need to tighten this up.
I noticed it was kind
of flip flopping back
and forth, and look at that.
So, we've lost the hole completely.
So, we've gotta line that up,
and get that in there.
- [RCSparks] Oh.
Okay, you know what?
- [Aaron] Back down and out?
- [RCSparks] That's a bad, bad position.
It's almost like you
need to dump the load.
Can you...
(clears throat loudly)
Go forward.
- [Lyle] There's so many small rocks
though in the (mumbles).
(machinery whirs)
- [RCSparks] Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
(machinery whirs)
Okay, now that's okay.
Stop, stop.
Okay.
That's okay.
Number one, let's get it.
It doesn't matter.
Let's just put the mirrors in first.
(laughs)
(machinery whirs)
Number two, don't move.
(wind blows loudly)
- [Jiv] At least it fell back in the pit.
- [Aaron] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] You wanna back it up?
Who's driving?
Back up Big Johnson there.
- [Pookie] Oh, yes.
- [RCSparks] We're gonna
try to tip him back
right over onto his wheels.
- [Pookie] Oh, we just lost the track.
- [RCSparks] Oh, you just lose your track?
- [Pookie] Yeah, (crosstalk
drowns out speaker).
- [RCSparks] Okay, swing around and-
- [Jiv] Oh, both tracks
are off on Johnson.
- [Pookie] No!
- [RCSparks] Okay, both
tracks are off (chuckles).
(laughs)
Son of a-
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
Ugh!
Okay, if that ain't a
sign to shut her down,
I dunno what is.
- [Lyle] It's going very smoothly.
- [RCSparks] Okay, somebody.
- [Tyler] This is rock truck.
- [RCSparks] That's rock truck.
Here you got the
controller, thank you, Lyle.
- [Tyler] Lyle, camera, need?
- [RCSparks] It's okay, yeah.
- [Lyle] I dunno how the (mumbles).
- [RCSparks] Lyle, could you please
hold that there?
Thank you, sir.
(machinery whirs)
With all the tracks off,
I don't know if I can do much better.
(machinery whirs)
- [Jiv] If any man can.
- [Aaron] You're the boss, man.
(machinery whirs)
- [RCSparks] Such a bad position to be in.
Tyler?
- [Tyler] Yes?
- [RCSparks] Go forward.
- [Tyler] I'm not driving.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Back up.
- [Lyle] That looks like the one at-
- [RCSparks] That's Jiv.
- [Jiv] Yeah, that's fine.
- [Pookie] Jiv's driving the rock truck.
- [Jiv] Oh!
- [RCSparks] Oh, oh, oh, oh,
okay, go forward.
(machinery whirs)
Forward.
- [Jiv] I got no brakes out-
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
- [RCSparks] Yeah, yeah.
I can't do anything.
I've fallen right in.
(machinery whirs)
- [Jiv] Oh, no!
- [RCSparks] Ugh!
- [Lyle] That's some
kind of penalty there.
(clears throat loudly)
- Speaking of penalty, this segment
of YouTube Gold is brought to you
by Loading Kings.
- Woo, woo!
- One of the previous shows we've done
and thoroughly enjoyed doing for you.
YouTube Gold!
- Load Kings!
- [RCSparks] Oh, oh dang it, sorry.
- [Group] YouTube Gold!
(buzz)
(beep)
(laughs)
Matt!
We need your help, bro.
- [Aaron] Underneath the
site muscle, guess what?
- [Jiv] Michael!
- Aaron done F***ed up again.
- [RCSparks] Ugh.
(laughs)
It's always the blue hat.
Lift it right out of there.
Take it over to the table with both...
Oh, that's sad looking-
- [Group] Whoa!
- [RCSparks] State of affairs.
A broken track.
- [Lyle] Uh-oh.
- [RCSparks] A broken track.
(crosstalk drowns out speaker)
Okay, let's just lift it out of here.
Shut it down!
- [Group] Shut it down!
- [RCSparks] Shut it down.
- Oh, shit.
- [Sluice] What the hell happened, man?
I missed that.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, well,
people were getting
closer than six feet away,
and all hell broke loose.
- Well-
- [Tyler] God dammit.
(motors whir)
- [RCSparks] Jiv, did you have a good
final dig, sir?
- Yeah.
Just that damn rock.
- [RCSparks] You know, but yeah.
Well, I wanted to take it out before,
but we didn't have enough grunt power.
And of course, filling it back in,
we was gonna make a soft spot in the road.
- Yeah.
- [RCSparks] It didn't make sense.
We didn't have enough compression.
It's not like we have a
road grader around here.
How easy is it to find a road grader
in the hobby world, to purchase?
- Not easy.
- You cannot find it.
It's like looking for a backhoe, hey?
- It's a custom build.
- Yeah, it's a custom build, for sure.
- Yeah.
- I'm six feet away,
is this see, back up a little.
Back up, back there.
There, there we go.
Now, did you have a good time today?
- Heck, yeah!
- Yeah, that's the way it goes, brother.
Good job.
You're inspecting, what do you see?
- The powers in there.
- [RCSparks] Good, bad, ugly?
- [Pookie] Full boxes.
- [Sluice] Looks pretty good.
(wind blows loudly)
- [Tyler] Just throwing
the rocks to the ground.
- [RCSparks] Nice.
We got some gold in here.
Wouldn't that be all too convenient?
- [Sluice] I don't think
it's a 20 gram day,
but it looks pretty good.
- [RCSparks] It doesn't look that heavy.
There's a little puddle in the corner.
That's about it, and across-
- [Sluice] Big puddle right there.
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
Okay, be extra careful with them, please.
- [Sluice] Oh, yeah.
(wind blows)
Michael is going to unhook
the radio box I have.
We converted it into a power box.
- F***ing Medusa's head down here.
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
I like how we finally got all
the electrical figured out.
Basically almost as we're shutting down.
(laughs)
It's perfect.
Gentlemen?
- Gentlemen.
- What do you see on the Big Johnson, sir?
What's wrong?
- I think there's some tracks missing.
- [Jiv] Might as well tighten that up,
and then I'll show you the-
- [RCSparks] Did we just lose a pin?
- [Aaron] Yeah, we lost a pin.
- [Lyle] We just lost a pin.
- [RCSparks] That's not too bad.
Okay, so we'll blow this off,
and that way we don't get any
of that dirt in there.
Easier to clean it.
Easy to work on it, yeah.
(laughs) Oh man, look at this.
Have a closer look.
Then there, there's no mistaking gold
when you see it.
- [Jiv] Go over a lot further.
- [RCSparks] Look at this piece.
(whistles)
(chuckles)
Right there, boys.
Good work today.
This was in the larger side.
Yeah, look it there's
an E-clip right there.
- [Lyle] Another one.
- [RCSparks] Right there.
That must be what?
That must be off of the Big Johnson track.
Hilarious.
So, it would have popped off probably
when he slid in there,
and then he would have dug it out himself.
What's up?
- Built up here again.
- [RCSparks] We have more gold
that built up here?
- Puddling up at the lip.
- [RCSparks] It pooled, yeah,
cause it's not on a big enough angle.
- [Matt] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] When it's
not on a big enough angle,
we'll have the gold pool right here.
So, now it is like it's,
if we were up like here
and then we just rinsed it,
it would go in there.
- [Matt] A little bit more.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, I see it.
That should be going down
into the miners moss.
- [Matt] Right here.
- [RCSparks] Oh, nice, good call.
Getting it nicely rinsed out.
Needed a wash anyway.
(water flows)
Pookie, they have seen us use a normal
gold bull or gold tray
forever, right?
- Hell, yeah.
- [RCSparks] Why don't we just,
since these sluice mats are so small,
why don't we just dump the sluice mats
right on the top of the table?
- Oh, yeah.
- [RCSparks] This table
should be able to take
that kind of...
- It should.
(water flows)
- [RCSparks] Keep your
eye open there, Lyle.
I see golf floating.
Look at it.
- [Pookie] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] There's the
big gold right there.
(water flows)
Woo hoo!
Yeah.
That's a lot of shine off the light.
(water flows)
Lyle, like bro, good job.
(water flows)
Good job.
This is a terrible idea.
- Uh-oh, back outside?
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
- Back outside.
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
- [Lyle] Really?
- [RCSparks] Yeah, well
look at how much gold
is in here.
There's no way you're gonna catch that
in the amount of time
that you have to get it.
There's just no way.
(water flows)
- [Lyle] What's the
worst that could happen?
- [RCSparks] We're gonna lose it all,
and I have to process all
the shit we did before.
So, no, I'm doing it.
- That's pretty dumb.
- Go pair.
- [RCSparks] My idea didn't work!
- [Lyle] His idea didn't work.
- [RCSparks] Didn't idea, it didn't work.
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
- Water on!
Water on.
- [RCSparks] Water on!
- Water on.
- [RCSparks] Gold fever, Steve.
- Oh, yeah.
- [RCSparks] Gold fever.
- [Sluice] Love gold, man.
- Oo.
(wind blows loudly)
That's a piece.
- [Sluice] It's made many men crazy.
- [RCSparks] They look closer
than six feet apart.
- Yeah.
- [RCSparks] Can you get the-
- [Lyle] We need a mask.
To the table.
- [RCSparks] To the table!
- [Group] Table!
- [Pookie] Again?
- [RCSparks] (chuckles) Again.
(laughs)
(drill clicks)
- [RCSparks] Okay, Jiv,
I got a new invention
for putting the gold in on the table,
but a speedier way.
(drill buzzes)
- [Lyle] That looks like a terrible idea.
- [RCSparks] Where is he?
- [Lyle] Outside.
- [RCSparks] Jiv!
I did the joke he wasn't here.
(laughs)
That's not even funny now.
- Looks like a terrible idea anyway.
- [RCSparks] I was thinking
we could just flick
it in onto the table.
(drill buzzes)
- I can see a spread
of it going everywhere.
- [RCSparks] Jiv!
Present for you, buddy.
(drill buzzes)
Power loader.
Here you go.
(crosstalk drowns out speaker)
- Oh.
(laughs)
Lyle (laughs).
Okay, fire up the table, boys.
- Power on.
- [RCSparks] Power on.
(water flows)
Oo, healthy scoops, I love it.
(water flows)
Very nice.
This table does such a
good job of separating it.
- [Jiv] Oh yeah, it does.
(water flows)
- [RCSparks] Come on, boys.
What are y'all F***ing sleeping today?
Beer break!
Shut off the table,
we're gonna have a beer.
That's the right spirit.
Thank you.
There's been far not enough beer on here.
- Thank you.
(water flows)
- [RCSparks] You should
never stop the table
in mid-gold collection.
- [Lyle] What the F***?
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] But this was important.
- [Pookie] Who says that?
- [RCSparks] A guy that
knows how to hang out.
(water flows)
Look at all this gold over here.
- [Pookie] I can see it all from here,
a lot of gold.
- [Sluice] It's scary.
- [Jiv] (chuckles) It
doesn't wanna go anywhere.
(water flows)
- [RCSparks] Dude, it took us so long
to dial this table in.
- [Jiv] Oh.
- [RCSparks] And a nice trail of gold.
- [Jiv] Oh, yeah.
- [RCSparks] Look at all
that hard work, boys.
That's crazy amounts.
- [Lyle] Yeah, it looks really good.
- [RCSparks] People just don't believe
it on YouTube, right?
If they would only
watch all of season one,
they would know exactly how much effort
we put into this show, right?
- It's been a lot of work, man,
but it's been a lot of fun.
- [RCSparks] Tons.
Three years, man.
I can't believe we've gone on that long
with YouTube Gold.
- [Pookie] There's a hell of a gold trail.
- [RCSparks] Yes.
- I can see it from here.
- [Sluice] If you'd
asked me three years ago
if we'd be doing this today.
- [RCSparks] Right?
- [Sluice] Not a chance.
- [Pookie] If you'd asked three years ago
if we'd ever see an ounce of gold.
- [RCSparks] Right?
I remember our whole first season
was how much?
- [Pookie] 11 grams.
- [RCSparks] 11 grams, that's right.
- Horrible.
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
- That's not even a clean out.
- [RCSparks] We were
digging in the wrong spot.
To think it was only 15 feet to the left.
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
- (crosstalk drowns out speaker)
airplane here later.
- [RCSparks] Right (chuckles)?
Then I would have known.
(water flows)
Season one, episode 14,
I headed up in an airplane
to do some prospecting over
the Alberta Prairie's.
- [Sluice] Goldeneye.
- [RCSparks] Goldeneye, that's right,
the title of it.
YouTube Gold.
- [Sluice] YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] YouTube Gold (chuckles)!
- [Group] YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah, I love that.
Jiv's final episode with us.
I love seeing that we actually got gold.
From what I was looking at-
- [Pookie] We got gold on that table.
- [RCSparks] It didn't look like
there was gold in the
sluice boxes really at all,
but it's start-
- [Pookie] Not to me.
- [RCSparks] It's starting to let...
It's starting to look pretty good.
(water flows)
Looks like you're watching
for stars there, Lyle.
Picking stars out of the sky.
- [Lyle] I got the chair in my armpit
to support my fat ass.
(chuckles)
Oh, my back is killing me.
- [RCSparks] Dude, just twinkling.
Unbelievable, I hope everybody
comments right now.
YouTube Gold in support of all the effort
these boys have put in
throughout the years.
(water flows)
- [Jiv] Yeah.
- [RCSparks] It's awesome.
- [Lyle] Woo hoo!
- [RCSparks] Yeah.
- [Pookie] It's a friggin'
meteor shower, man.
- [RCSparks] Exactly.
It's raining down.
- [Lyle] My thumb is freezing.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] Dude, it's
like a true golden shower.
(chuckles)
It's beautiful.
- [Group] Yeah.
- Oo.
- [RCSparks] What?
(laughs)
Jiv, I think it is only appropriate
that you leave the group
in a great gold chant.
Can you do that so we get maximum gold?
- Heck, yeah.
- [RCSparks] Who's got the gold?
One shovel scoop full, you put it in here,
one after another.
- [Group] Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold,
gold, gold, gold, gold, gold,
gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah!
- [Lyle] Woo!
- [RCSparks] Getting it out already,
look at that.
- [Aaron] Where's the bucket?
- [RCSparks] There's no bucket.
(laughs)
That's weird, cause I put it in there.
(laughs)
Round and round,
this is an automatic gold panning wheel.
This is separating all the light stuff
from the heavy material.
(water flows)
Allowing all the heavy material
to go straight up and
be caught in a bucket
on the back.
Quite a bit of black sand
back there right now.
That's okay.
- Yeah.
(water flows)
- [RCSparks] This is a
recirculating system.
(water flows)
Basically pumps it up from the bucket
down there, up to the nozzle,
washes it all down into the bucket.
And then of course,
then all the aggregate is on the bottom.
It collects and the water overflows
back into there.
Good job, sir.
I didn't see any big kerclunkers today.
- [Jiv] No.
- [RCSparks] No big nuggets.
That is truly sad.
- [Jiv] Hey, we going.
- [RCSparks] That's all right.
Beautiful.
- [Pookie] Cool.
- [RCSparks] That's steep, hey?
Rewash, sir, three, two, one.
Round, oh!
- [Group] Oh!
- [RCSparks] Look how pretty that looks.
- [Lyle] Woo hoo!
- [RCSparks] Dude, that is YouTube Gold
if I have ever seen it at its finest.
- [Pookie] Yeah!
- [RCSparks] Literally fine gold,
that's beautiful.
- [Sluice] Oh, it's fantastic.
- [RCSparks] Wow!
- [Sluice] Yep.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, so
now we just had the wheel
set to a little bit of
a different setting,
keeping all that black sand down.
Where you can also see all the flakes
in the bottom there too fighting their way
to get up.
So, I'll adjust it a little bit more
cause the black sand
isn't climbing as high.
(water flows)
Yeah, is it going back?
- Is it right?
- [RCSparks] Yeah, no
this is the right way.
Okay, boys, this is the big moment.
- [Lyle] Oo.
- [RCSparks] We worked up to this.
Yeah, three, two, one, bring the gold!
- [Lyle] Woo!
- [Group] Whoa!
- [RCSparks] Whoa, nice.
- [Lyle] Actually it looks
better than I thought.
- [RCSparks] Actually,
it looks a little worse
than I thought, to be honest with you.
But that's still fricking beautiful,
look at that.
That's a lot of black stand in there.
Let's get the magnetite outta here.
- [Pookie] Looks like a gator claw.
- [RCSparks] It does look like a bit,
some sort of, yeah, crocodile print.
So, Pookie's using a magno here,
picking up all the black sand.
Oo, there's a few nice
little pieces in there.
Look at this one.
That's not bad.
- [Pookie] That's nice.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, that's not bad.
- [Pookie] Think it's pretty big.
- [RCSparks] I noticed the pieces
have been getting smaller though.
- They have.
(clears throat loudly)
We might be getting to
the bottom of that vein.
- Hey, ho.
- [RCSparks] Okay, here we go boys.
Could we please get someone to shout out
for the camera what the gold is gonna be
over my shoulder.
- [Sluice] Sure.
- In grams, sir.
- [Group] One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine-
- Go on, go on, go on, go on.
- [Group] 10, 11.
- Oh.
- [Group] 12, 13.
- 13 on the money.
- [Group] Woo, yeah!
- [Tyler] Lucky 13!
- Right on.
Dude, 13, good job.
Good, you win yourself a beer.
Go to the fridge and help yourself.
(chuckles)
If anybody else needs one,
grab one through Tyler.
He just won the prize.
Happy birthday.
(chuckles)
- [Lyle] Woo.
- [Sluice] Very, very nice.
- [RCSparks] Alright
boys, that means 13 grams.
- [Sluice] Uh, 12.9.
- Season toil.
Shall we?
Look at this, Jiv.
- Oh.
- Dude, here it is, here's the nuggie.
- Yeah, I remember
(crosstalk drowns out speakers)
buried that bugger.
- Right?
- [Pookie] That's the
first time I've seen it.
- Dude, biggest gold sucker-
- [Aaron] That's friggin impressive.
- I've ever seen on the prairies ever.
Right here, boom.
33.5 with today's right there.
33.5
and 48, 50, 60.
- [Group] 70.
- [Pookie] 80.
- 90.
- [Aaron] 100.
- 100 grams.
- [Pookie] 10.
- Oh, there's another big chunk.
Look at that big chunk here.
- [Lyle] Damn.
- Boom.
120.
- [Lyle] 30.
140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190.
- 195.15!
- [Group] Woo!
- [Pookie] Yeah!
- [Lyle] Yeah!
- [Group] Yeah, woo.
- [RCSparks] Yeah, boys.
That's huge, dudes.
Unbelievable, 6.29
ounces of gold.
- [Group] Woo!
- [RCSparks] Yeah!
We all drink to that, hey?
- Hell yeah!
- [RCSparks] Good job, good job.
I appreciate that, sir.
All the hard work.
Look at that, Jiv.
- Holy crap.
- [RCSparks] Right?
Feel that, feel how heavy that is.
You were part of digging that out, man.
- Yeah.
- [RCSparks] I appreciate
you paying your bill
before you left.
There's no way we could
do this without that,
this equipment is very,
you know, expensive.
- Expensive.
- [RCSparks] Right?
- Oh, yeah.
Especially when you blew two tracks off
of one machine in one go.
- [RCSparks] Dude, maintenance
and repairs, maintenance.
Here, feel this, Rook.
- [Sluice] The off season maintenance
is gonna be-
- [RCSparks] Here you go, Pookie.
- [Sluice] Spectacularly expensive.
- Wow.
- [RCSparks] Six and a half, 6.3.
- Oh, good, yeah.
- [Pookie] Don't drop it.
- [RCSparks] Don't drop it.
(chuckles)
(mumbles)
- [Jiv] With his track record, yeah.
- [Pookie] Know you're old.
- That feels pretty good.
- [RCSparks] That's crazy, hey?
- That's what she said.
(laughs)
- [RCSparks] All righty
boys, we did good so far.
We got one last episode.
We're gonna be Jiv short, unfortunately.
Everybody put your hats in together.
We'll miss you Jiv.
One, two, three!
- YouTube Gold!
- [RCSparks] Yeah!
- Woo!
- [RCSparks] Good luck, brother,
heavy duty operator.
- Thank you.
