SHAWN POMRENKE: Coming in tonight, sun's dropping fast.
0:23
We did a nice little test drilling.
0:25
It ate everything we put at it.
0:29
Now we're gonna get parked up next to the [INAUDIBLE],,
0:33
start throwing some gold in the box.
0:38
NARRATOR: As the sun sets on the first half of summer,
0:41
Shawn Pomrenke looks to finally realize
0:44
his dream of dominating Nome by unleashing the revamped
0:48
and revitalized Myrtle Irene.
0:51
SHAWN POMRENKE: I have a ton of money wrapped up into this,
0:53
and we're on borrowed time already for making gold.
0:57
And I'm going to run this thing all night.
1:05
I've stretched myself more this summer than I ever have before.
1:10
I still owe a million on the Tomcod.
1:14
Then I made a handshake deal with my dad to buy out
1:17
the business for $1.5 million.
1:19
Simple, five page contract.
1:22
SHAWN POMRENKE: And I took over the competition by redesigning
1:25
the Myrtle Irene.
1:27
[BLEEP] Shawn.
1:28
SHAWN POMRENKE: Which ended up costing
1:29
me about a half million dollars more than I had planned on.
1:33
No one ever said taking over Nome would be cheap.
1:36
I designed her to produce record-breaking numbers.
1:39
That's what I expect to see.
1:50
I put a lot of money on Shawn, so he better be Mr. Gold.
1:54
We're going to find out.
1:56
Got to get to work.
1:58
I rebuilt all the major components on the Myrtle.
2:02
Lowered the wash plant to give the excavator easier access,
2:05
and then I added a second sluice box to catch all the fine gold.
2:11
Tonight we're going to find out if I'm a genius,
2:14
or if I rolled myself into debt forever.
2:21
Are we gonna get some [BLEEP] gold or what?
2:23
Huh?
2:24
SHAWN POMRENKE: See if we can find
2:25
this old riverbed, because there was a lot of gold in there.
2:30
And we haven't made it to the bottom of it yet.
2:33
Let's go take it.
2:35
SHAWN POMRENKE: It could pay off big.
2:39
The Christine Rose has been on great gold this year.
2:42
It's been working on an ancient riverbed,
2:44
but it's only been working the shallows.
2:47
And it's reached its limit.
2:49
The Myrtle Irene can dig way deeper, beyond 30 feet.
2:53
It's a game changer.
2:54
This is gold that no excavator barge has ever touched before.
2:59
All right, go ahead.
3:00
Hold up here, guys.
3:01
MAN (ON RADIO): [INAUDIBLE],, copy.
3:09
[CREAKING]
3:12
SHAWN POMRENKE: We're getting ready to dig.
3:14
Fire up the water pump.
3:17
I'll come down.
3:18
MAN (ON RADIO): Roger.
3:20
Go ahead.
3:20
Fire the big deck.
3:40
We got hundreds of hours of work.
3:45
And hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Myrtle.
3:50
And now it's time to make it all pay.
4:05
First bucket on the Tomcod.
4:17
Oh, there's some cobble in there.
4:26
I can smell gold a mile away.
4:44
Been a long time coming.
4:47
Finally digging it We're hitting the deepest
4:50
stretches of the beach line.
4:53
This is great stuff.
4:56
This is the stuff I've been wanting to reach for years.
4:59
There's the clay.
5:00
There's the cheese.
5:02
Now I'm digging it out with the biggest bucket I've ever used
5:05
and two giant sluices.
5:10
This is nirvana.
5:12
[CHUCKLES]
5:13
I got the Myrtle up and running.
5:20
First night digging.
5:25
Now we just got to make some gold, pay for all this.
5:37
We're making gold, buddy.
5:39
What do you think?
5:40
We might get our money back, huh?
5:42
- Yeah. - [INAUDIBLE].
5:43
Maybe.
5:53
We'll find out in the morning, won't we?
6:00
Seeing a design that I've had in my head come to life
6:03
will never get old.
6:05
It's running.
6:08
Now that the Myrtle's on the water,
6:10
it's like having Godzilla in my corner.
6:12
We're going to be unstoppable the rest of the season.
6:18
We're making gold five yards at a time.
6:25
Oh, yeah.
6:27
I've worked my whole life to get to this point.
6:30
Now I'm gonna do what I do best.
6:34
[MUSIC PLAYING]
6:45
How's it looking?
6:46
Hey, it looks pretty good.
6:48
- It's not bad. - It's not too bad.
6:49
It's just cooling down a little.
6:50
Ooh, nice and clean.
6:52
That's not a bad start.
6:54
No.
6:55
NARRATOR: After putting the redesigned Myrtle Irene
6:57
through her paces, Captain Shawn Pomrenke's
7:00
ready to see if his newest creation can gobble enough gold
7:04
to help pay for his multi-million dollar plan
7:06
to dominate Nome.
7:10
It's working and pumping, and we're making gold, so--
7:13
Right.
7:14
--can't complain.
7:15
Yeah.
7:16
Besides having to put some J bolts on the punch plate
7:18
and tighten a few things up, it was a pretty successful run.
7:22
Yeah.
7:23
Well, let's weigh this stuff up, see what it weighs.
7:26
We got a couple of little fixes to do,
7:28
but the new improved Myrtle Irene's working outstanding.
7:32
We're going into this.
7:33
We're not expecting it to be a record breaker.
7:35
It's only one night, but this should give us
7:37
a good taste of what's to come.
7:43
There's 20, 40, 60.
7:49
There's 90-- 100, 117.
7:57
Heck, yeah.
7:58
MAN: That's pretty good.
7:59
I like it.
8:02
NARRATOR: 117 ounces is worth $234,000.
8:08
A hefty chunk of change, but only a dent in the $3 million
8:11
that Mr. Gold needs to carry out his three-pronged plan.
8:16
Well, that's a damn good start.
8:18
Definitely ain't going to pay all the bills,
8:20
or I ain't getting my money back yet, so.
8:22
MAN: Yeah.
8:23
SHAWN POMRENKE: We need to get back out there.
8:25
MAN: Yep.
8:25
More hours on the box.
