what got me, is that they didnt do any testing, prior or leave time, in case if had failed, as well as checking and replacing everything that needs replacing, spend a little more to get it done fucking right so it will last another 30 making untolds amount of gold.

Who would of thought that a 30 year old trumle witch had only been used for one season would not work, if it had of worked it would of done more then one season in the first place 😄
Big equipment like that needs a lot of fixes after a season, a big price tag comes with lots of hidden faults. You gotta maintain it and invest in it for it to pay you well. What’s an investment if you don’t check on it
@@andrewjensen8189 I care to disagree, if a person goes over the machine before turning it on, they would be able to see what may or may not be the issue. If you just fire it up all willy nilly, you could damage it more then it is.
@@BigRig003 Sure, but a 30 year old $400k machine that is ginormous has thousands of things that could look like it needs replacing. Before you know it youre re-hauling half of the machine without knowing you need to. The best way to diagnose what is wrong is to test it out and fix whatever gives out.

Tony reminds me so much of my dad. We aren’t gold miners. We are stone fruit growers. Cherries, Peaches, plums, etc... My dad loved finding old shit for cheap and making it work. Sometimes yay, sometimes fuuuuuck!! Farming and mining are basically the same thing.😉
He reminds me of a fusion between my moms dad (my grandpa) and my moms brother (my uncle) my grandpas is tough like an ox he will work and work even if it kills him and never half asses anything and make sure it works right, and my uncles the same way but my uncle cusses like a sailor too that and my uncle loves buying and using old crap and doing maintenance on them when they need it, telling me if it ain’t broken beyond repair why throw it away and buy a new one. My uncles also the same guy to take off the lawn mower blades underneath his driving lawn mower during the winter months and hand sharpen the blades by hand with a vice in his garage to hold it in place and a file it to a fine point and the flatten it off with the file so the blades won’t get chipped when you cut the grass then put the blades back on. My uncle always tells me always make sure you do your maintenance during down time so when you go to use it it’s in tip top shape and won’t brake down so fast wether it’s a car or a lawn mower. Heck this week me and my uncle are actually fixing my grandpas old 2002 white Pontiac grand pix 3800 the oil pressures bad in it so we fixed that with a New oil pump and now we’re cleaning out the gunk in the upper and lower intake manifold of the engine block, trust me when I say it’s dirty with 20 years oil sludge it’s dirty dirty dirty even my grandpa was shocked at how dirty it was and then we’re gonna have to put new gaskets on the upper and lower intake manifold then put her all back together and she if she purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion.
You can’t just fire up a machine after sitting for decades it’s like any car Do a full repair doesn’t matter if it works or not It needs to be fixed fully
I wonder how wealthy they have become. Bc an income from mining, with basically no machine costs because of volvo and then pay from gold rush, to take part in the documentary.
@@jacrispy8802 yes, have you noticed excreted for dozers everything is volvo. As well as this any other machine make like gmc, has to have its badge or and markings blurred. Gold rush did kind of the same thing with a Toyota pulling a truck aswell.
It’s common sense that machinery left to weather for 30 years will fail. Every bearing will need overhaul if not replacing. Every weld has to be checked and rust must be cut out.
Don’t think Tony has greased a bearing in his life. Everything needs replaced after that amount of time. Bearings, chains, engine fluids. If planned maintenance existed it would save them a lot of pain 😂
I guarantee 400k was never "handed over" for this trommel. prob some gold swap at end of the season, and Tony prob figures, it's simple enough, obviously gonna break, fix it and run it. This machine will be a moneymaker. Gold Rush over dramatizing a hose bust. Just need to work the kinks out.
Little to zero maintenance done to restore the Trommel. I love the use of old iron but I hate when people take short cuts and do not respect that iron.
What do y’all do with the land after they are done mining? Do you properly plant on it and help it be reclaimed? Or do you just leave it to be a big scar in the landscape?
Maybe it’s just the plumber in me, but if they’re having problems with the rocks getting stuck at the fitting like that, wouldn’t rigging up something like a 45 degree fitting instead of a tee like in the diagram, solve that problem? That way when the tailings are going to the water discharge pipe, they’re on a natural downward course instead of hitting a tee and water trying to punch its way through. That way even if they’re getting rocks bigger than the screen, they still have a better chance at is passing through then blocking the pipe.
Exactly, and as if he didn't take into consideration the size of the screen and the size of the material before spending 400k 🤣 catastrophic failure somewhere else in the machine I'd reckon.
you smash and torch everything apart and roll it down a hill with excavators, stick weld it back together here and there, then just flip the switch and it doesnt work, why would anyone be surprised
Tony is a heck of a guy, maybe not the most friendly to everybody. But he has a habit of acquiring 'abandoned equipment'. Ya got to ask 'why'd they abandon something so expensive and massive'?
cause somehas to put in this abandonned washing plant lot of money to make it running as it should. and not everyone has a mountain of gold in the drawer of the office desk like the beets family has...:-)
Hes definitely doing it for the family plus once you don't worry about money...some dudes just like working. They go to work just for entertainment and to give them something to do.
depends not with what the man made lots of money. 99,99% percent of them want to keep the level or more! so nearly no one of them is really satisfied and long term glad.. my last chief the same with his restaurant and beer garden. lots of problems with health with 67 but still working 12hours 6 days a week and shouting about everything. thats why i quit and starting tomorrow somewhere else. you have to work hard everywhere, but other chiefs weren`t not this bulli.
Ehhh 400k for a for a huge trommel on wheels with hopper, sleuce box, spray nozzles and tailings conveyor don’t sound to bad but still a pretty penny. But still if it actually works it don’t sound to bad for mining
It’s hasn’t “failed” totally just didn’t work perfect right out the gate after sitting for decades… which I highly doubt these seasoned prospectors expected but maybe hoped so
Maybe there's a reason this machine has sat unused for 30 years.... seems like it's not very well designed. I'm not sure Tony will get back his $400,000+ for the scrap metal.
I wouldn't exactly say a $400K gamble failed just because the machine requires some modification and repair after sitting. The dramatization is positively meh.
Wait, what, how does it take months to install a new screen on the hoses or even the machine to stop larger rocks from blocking up the discharge. Looks like something they could do within a day!?
going to have to add smaller screen to the entire inside of the trommel, don't think it would take a few months but maybe to get new screen there and a few days to install
@@mmmmurphy ah k, that make more sense, but still doesn't look like more than a few days work to run to town, buy the screen, and weld it to the interior of drum.
@@pawsomelabrastead9244 - it might have to be made, not bought. Most of these aren’t simple trommels like a topsoil screener with 1/4” bar screen. They use 3/8” plate or thicker with holes and then it’s rolled to fit the drum. They’re not explaining a lot of the materials and mechanics on this show.
A lot of times it has to do with them being at work. It makes you seem douche to be calling your boss dad all day and you usually get razzed by the rest of the crew. they usually call them Dad outside of work but sometimes it just sticks. I remember Dakota Fred and his son had the same thing. Cheers and have a wonderful day!
why would you seriously expect something which has been standing idle out in sun, rain and snow for 30 years to just start up and be fine? thats just ridiculous, of course you'll have to take the mechanics apart to get everything checked and replace worn or corroded parts. I can't imagine Tony actually being surprised about that, he's got lots of experience with this kind of machinery. But everything for the audience I suppose...
sir, thank you fior your wise sentences. in my opinion this kind of rooky behaviour is only seen why its written in the skript to attract people to the screens.."oh, the old iron does not work fine, i have to what the next and overnext episode to get to know how the project ends.." show must go on...
NOT A GOLD MINER! THIS IS JUST CONJECTURE(so i could defiantly be wrong) So the gold in not in the quartz, so they do not need to crush it to get all of the gold. But the Gold is most commonly found in the quartz gravel, hence why it is called pay dirt. Meaning that they can just wash the gravel and be able to get most of the gold from the dirt
Wish they would've cut and welded in a slanted pipe so there isn't a T intersection but more like a Y and that should be a decent fix till a screen is added
I like how’s all this new equipment sitting of to the sides that they actually use and they drag this piece out for tv to put a show on. He’s got probably a dozen operators and mechanics working for him. And tv makes it like it’s his two kids doing all the work for the whole site lol.
Tony put angle iron like a trough under hose or raise both sides with anger liar as bridge when shut down material calax cannot move once opened without straight path Would love to see machine run
A month or two to get a screen in there and welded up? No way...couple weeks tops just because you need to find or have a screen made and then have it shipped there.
It probably didn't work when it was new either. The way it's designed you would have to screen material before running it. Makes a trommel redundant when it's supposed to do that itself
He should have known after the trommel been sitting outside for that long without being used and maintained. Pretty much everything rubber would be dry rotted and the risk of failure would be extremely high because of it.
no worries, some extra kilo gold dust in the drawers of the night desk in bedroom of the beets make it possible to risk failures and expensive maintnance a bit more than at other mining sites:-)
You mean to tell me 30-year-old belts and hoses broke when they started using them? .... I'm blown away !
$400,000..... you forgot the dry rotted tire.... the cost of transport.... the operating expenses.
Plus the cylinder seals to keep it leveled and in sure there scratched up as well with the way its been moved..so much to repair.
what got me, is that they didnt do any testing, prior or leave time, in case if had failed, as well as checking and replacing everything that needs replacing, spend a little more to get it done fucking right so it will last another 30 making untolds amount of gold.

Place looks like a straight up dump! A junkyard! Good job Tony, ruin beautiful forest to make a toxic dump. Thanks guy!
You are obviously new around here. After the mining is done, the land is restored. A year later you cannot tell it was mined.
A month or two to get a screen in there and welded up? No way...couple weeks tops just because you need to find or have a screen made and then have it shipped there.
I'm wondering about moose creek if all the fine gold was washed out
It was working with that screen before???
Kinda depends on the material you’re trying to run through it
@@tonybarracuda3505 ok that explains
Doubt it. 1 season 40 years ago.....
I hope all the miners keep a stash of gold in their families. The dollar is going to collapse eventually
If joe puts everyone out of work the dollar wont need to collapse.
How dumb do you gotta be to take something that sat for 30 years in the sunshine, rain, snow, ice and expect it to work as if it was brand new?
It probably didn't work when it was new either. The way it's designed you would have to screen material before running it. Makes a trommel redundant when it's supposed to do that itself
He should have known after the trommel been sitting outside for that long without being used and maintained. Pretty much everything rubber would be dry rotted and the risk of failure would be extremely high because of it.
no worries, some extra kilo gold dust in the drawers of the night desk in bedroom of the beets make it possible to risk failures and expensive maintnance a bit more than at other mining sites:-)
Why wouldn't you just weld up the holes to make them smaller?
Nice! So it is mobile… thought not when they first got it they had to take it apart in three pieces to haul
