buy a gold mine.....short answer no! the equipment says they werent pulling enough ore out to be worth keeping the mine going.... yes there is or was enough gold there to warrant the equipment and humanities greed says if it could pay they would be working it. if you have the money for a shitload of geo servey it may make a reasonable return on investment but reality is unless you can sell your spoils itll be a money pit. now if it were full of lithium or rare earth minerals its worth it
Love your enthusiasm brother! Buy the mine!!!!! Too bad the town is all but gone.Your parents raised you right : hanging with good, caring people. Your hearts in the right place. On the Lords errand
I was an heavy equipment operator for damn near ten years and you can pretty much throw anybody on any piece of equipment and they can track it anywhere you need them to, operating them is a different story. Dave is one of those guys that has to do everything, he needs to chill and sit back and watch for once, he has a good crew.
The editor of these videos is amazing! Great cutaways, segues, fades, hilarious outtakes woven into the video, seamless storytelling, thoughtful music choices.
HeavyD I have to say it again, the audio and video on the close is as good as any else I've seen. Kudos to the editors and drone operators, shows really where you guys go, and conditions where you live your lives.
I would really like to see you guys take over the mine and run it for awhile and really show and explain the process, the equipment and the findings for the time and effort you put in. People like gold mining...it's the HUNT, the CHASE and the WHAT IF factor. Please do it.
Has he made a follow up video or posted any updates on this video/purchase? I have been checking and commenting on his videos but I cant seem to get any response from anyone.
Close too it lol filled up my company's rig in Utah 2 days ago and it was just under 1200 bucks And with the DEF BS ur only getting 8 mpg, 10 MPG empty
It just cost me $11.85 to cut my grass its a quarter acre with a push mower which they want to ban in California by the way anything gas-powered where do they think plastic and batteries come from it takes petrol to make the Plastics the batteries the lithium has to be stripped from the earth which is a rare Earth mineral therefore burning more fuel to extract these things any solving any f****** problems it's making more people really want the Earth to get better stop having everything delivered and get back to going to an actual place and getting service from people instead of a Blank Stare from a dumbass with some earbuds in a phone in his hand 😂🇺🇸
The data plate on the telehandler tells you how much you can lift at different hinge pin heights from load center the plate on the old iron has it weight on it also great way to get it out just pick it up and put it on the trailer I love it what a great start up on the large loader it was fun to watch thank you Heavy DSOS😃
I build buckets and all that for construction and agriculture stuff and those telehandlers as long as you are boomed fairly tight are almost as hard on stuff as a excavator from my stand point building and fixing the stuff

Hey Heavy D. I'm glad you mentioned the scammers. They tried to scam me a few days ago. They tracked me from your FB page. I knew it was a scammer with the first interaction. I hope none of your followers fell for it. Still love the content. Keep up the great work.
Would love to see some gold mining content from you and your crew. Getting Fred Dodge involved is solid advice, not only could he give you good info on equipment condition but also how to make it more efficient. He could also give insight into where on the property to mine or where gold should be. Even if you don't go the gold mining route I'll still keep watching your recoveries. One thing tho next time you get under 5+ ton loader arms make sure you have some sort of safety stop. In the vid may have had one on the other side, especially when working with older equipment. Even if it was that awesome telehandler under its bucket just in case. Couldn't believe how beast it was with that smaller crawler. Didn't seem to be too much for it at all. Good content sir keep it up please.
A “Mother load” is a term for the quartz in the mine has a deposit of roughly 2,000 ounces of gold give or take. Estimated around $3M in today’s price.
Okay that Sanny Telehandler actually impressed me! Watching the boom flex as he was driving into the the loader and that thing taking it no problem is impressive. It'll be cool to see how that thing holds up longer term.
I would have never in a million years imagined that I'd be avidly watching recovery videos but here I am 😄 Can't stop won't stop, you guys are too awesome for words!
As a former diesel/field mechanic, I appreciate this video made me smile. I wish I could have kept doing it going to all the mines here in Nevada. Thanks for a cool video!
If you want to learn about gold mining, I would suggest you get a hold of Freddy Dodge, and Juan, they really know their stuff. Great show keep up the good work.
Personally as a stacker, I would love to add some Diesel Dave gold to my stack. If that was to happen, I would advise making some smaller 1/10 oz coins which would be more accessible to the masses.
Heck ya, lets mine some metal. Gold panned as a kid and throughout my life and actually found a few little chips here and there. Would be great to see y'all get her work in again. Keep on keepin...
Go for the mine. Its always fun watching you guys bust ass and recover/remove items from places. Shows people what skill and hard work can do. Keep it up!
Your guys’ production with setting up shots, transitions, framing etc just keeps getting better and better and better! Can’t wait to see the service truck when you build it!!!

You need to get a hold of Dave Turin from gold rush. He was working that area and his show in discovery is all about rescuing old gold mines and families that need help. This would be the perfect combo for your channel 👍👍
That Drott is essentially an IH TD-9, definitely would like to see you guys playing with the switch over diesel (starts on gas, switches to diesel). Don't run it hot, those heads like to crack.
I’ve always thought how cool it would be to see you guys on Gold Rush or do something very similar, even on your own. You guys are my favorite RUclips channel, and I watch a lot of RUclips. 🤙🏼
Dave, show us how to mine....its always fascinated me as well. Somedays I wish I would have gone into geology and mine exploration like I thought of when I was in college.
@@matthewlittle6940 no BS yeah because all of this isn't totally to inflate his own ego or make money he's definitely doing this because he's just a good guy it's not like he was in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt due to the EPA fining him for illegal diesel emissions delete kits
I'm with you Dave - I'm a Makita gal through & through. 👍 I grew up with Makita tools because my dad (a builder & rally car builder/driver) swore by them, and they always prove themselves worth the upfront cost. My dad's circular saw (bought in the 80's and used almost daily for 2 decades) still works perfectly. We got one of the first cordless drills Makita released in the 90's & my friends dubbed it "the Mighty Makita" because it was used for everything... from dad's construction jobs to dismantling furniture for friends. The only reason I don't still use it is that they don't make the batteries anymore. You definitely get what you pay for!
I really loved this video, I know it sounds weird, but I didn’t want it to end. The mere fact that y’all were going to a gold mine got my attention right away, as well as getting the equipment and loading it. As for the mine, I would say go for it ! You only live once, I would say pack in as much living in this lifetime as you can. Thank you, guys ! Please be safe in all you do.
I was surprised to that dozer move like it did. The hydraulics working, the tracks not ceased, that it ended up running under it's own power. This was a pretty cool recovery, thanks for taking us along. Would be cool to see the gold mine.
"We cant just keep running it on starting fluid alone, that's terrible for it" .... 2 cans and 15 minutes follow of... starting fluid =) Seriously cool stuff and great work from the team! Except Diesel assaulting people with batteries. =(
Dang wish I would have known about HeavyD and his team before a week ago, so I could have been watching some awesome videos of such caring loving wonderful team of men! And when I say men, these are not your typical average men; these guys are real life hard core bulldozers, strong minded, hard working, very intelligent men! But also at the same time this team of men are soft as teddy bears at heart! They believe in having healthy bodies, working out in the gym, being true to others and self, caring about everyone's community, believe in each other , trust each other immensely with each others life......I could go on and on at the greatness! I just love all you great men! Wish the men around my area were like your team!
In my country we have extremely tough environmental issues and one of our biggest gold mines had to transport all their ore by train across the country too a specific designed factory to process all the fines, the railways has especially designed containers for the whole train travel. So basically you wouldn't need to worry about the land owner.
Dave I would love to see you run a gold mine and show us how it's done it would be another interesting avenue to go down on your channel so yes please buy or lease the mine ps I am sure the old re dozer would be a collector wonder so don't scrap her there are loads of people who collect old dozers and plant machines it's a big concern so if you get her running and working it would be worth a lot more and some fresh paint on her.
Your work ethic is top shelf, and the care for your team and equipment is refreshing to see. Look after your tools and team and they will look after you.
I appreciate your channel. For a disabled guy like myself I enjoy the adventures you all have. Still hoping to talk about a diesel golf cart to help me get around my city. Just cause I'm disabled doesn't mean I can't be mobile as well. You guys rock keep up the great work. Thanks guys.
You rolled that Sany in under that dozer and I thought what am I missing here??? Holy damn. I've been a farmer/operator my entire life. I am way beyond impressed. We all know DD, everything you touch brother. You will find amazing help and have a gold mine!
cool episode guys. I like watching the parts where you bust out the experience of salvage/recovery and using your know-how to get something started or lift it from some place ridiculous. It is a true skill set. Appreciate you sharing. Looking forward to what the future brings for your team.
Old guy here and I was taught and used ATF down lines to help loosen crap in the lines, in the fuel filter when replacing, and in the tank for cold weather (a quart per 100 gallons). 🤔 👍🏻
Definitely go for the gold mine. I will totally watch. I have watched most of your videos and will keep doing so. Keep up the great work always entertaining and great content thank you for keeping the show alive. You have a great company and great employees.
thank you for talking about the fake accounts, I messaged you some time ago about the scammers, thank you for the awesome content keep it up, I would love to help with one of your rescues.
Wow! Great job and I’m amazed at the track loader. If you seriously were to consider the Mine I would give Freddy Dodge to come look at the equipment and samples from the mine to see if it is viable. He can show you how to run it too.
Would love to see you take the history of the Gold Mine and make it new history. I enjoy watching anything you put out. A man and crew of many talents with love and care for others is astounding. Please keep doing these.
As a former Agricultural engineer I can fully admire the capabilities of that telehandler knowing what stresses their components can be under and that thing just did it in its stride 👍🏻
Industrial Gold builds one hell of a compressor! A good friend that has a welding shop bought one after my recomendation since I had been using one in my body shop for over a year without any issues. Anyway, he didn't have it installed for more than a couple of months when he had a water seperator blow apart in the middle of the night. He isn't sure how many hours the compressor ran, but when he opened up the shop that next morning it was full of smoke. He killed the compressor, found the bad seperator and replaced it, then changed the compressor oil. The thing took back off and there was 0 pressure loss. It worked like a new one. John and his guys definitly do it right.
it's good to see craftsmen at work....knowing what they're doing and not just playing around..You guys are very entertaining AND educational!!! Thanks!
Good afternoon Heavy D, I totally enjoyed your recovery in the episode. Your team are some of the best group of guys. The synergy of your team and organization it awesome. Nice seeing people working good together. Really was pretty exciting. I loved seeing the Komatsu get started and running and driving out of there under its own power. Great video! Thank for sharing, EM.
This was amazing and a eye opener to me personally. Lost my job in security 3 months ago and you guys are right it's time to get out and get my dreams rolling
Cant wait to see you guys put your spin on mining. GREAT JOB! Never been a diesel guy but love watching you guys do these recoveries and put life back in dead equipment
Go mining! The smaller loader may be an International, they were partial to red, so was Austin-Western. Our county road department had 2 Austin- Western road graders that were almost the same shade of red as the little track loader.
I enjoy watching (with envy) your recovery videos. The "Drott" trackloader that you're referring to appears to be an ol' International TD 6 or 9 with pre-60's Harvester red paint. Drott made attachments for International and other manufacturers way back then. Please keep the recovery videos coming.
U guys are the coolest. Working on old equipment and trying to get running. Me & my late dad used to do same. He taught me how to drive on Farmall tractor we got running. Plz be careful when going into those mines. But ur show is great sometimes I don't want to turn off due to just want to watch more. Be safe .
Yes i want you to buy that gold mine, for the reason i would never be able to buy stuff like that here in germany and you guys just do amazing stuff. A gold mine would fit right into your style of everything :). Nice Video as always. Love your content. You find a way to make me watch a 44min video and it just feels good!
You guys need to reach out to Discovery and work out a deal for make an episode with Freddy Dodge's mine Rescue. It would be awesome to see you guys work together.
I was REALLY rooting to see that tractor start up, much like I was when the guys were trying to get that turbine powered de-ice machine start. Thankfully, this one started!! BTW, did that de-icer ever start? We need closure!! 😁🇺🇸
Epic upload! Good stuff! Its absolutely satisfying, on so many levels, when extraordinary goals can be achieved, and you've got the best team to do it with! Keep doing what you do!
Hey Chris respect man I like what you're doing I want to learn more to fix all machine and even a car I really respect what you guys doing out there because bless you man
50-80V AC or DC? No probably not. Also they'd have to have a grounding rod stuck. And electricity takes the path of least resistance so the first pole that touches ground.
I've always been told: "if you are going to use starting fluid on a diesel, ONLY use just a TINY amount, no more and be sure you are turning the motor over when you spray (for the smallest fraction of a second) the intake."...so seeing him just hose that diesel engine with starting fluid kinda shocked me a tad.

Yep was really hoping to see ya run some material....
Total bummer I'm sure would have made the ladies day...
Definitely get that gold mine going. Would love to see it
Ya you should try mineing see what left if you need help I'm willing to learn
Was there a sequel to the gold mine episode was it bought l have been looking for it the sequel but can not find it.
Has he made a follow up video or posted any updates on this video/purchase? I have been checking and commenting on his videos but I cant seem to get any response from anyone.
That opening scene must have been a $5,000 fuel stop.
Close too it lol filled up my company's rig in Utah 2 days ago and it was just under 1200 bucks
And with the DEF BS ur only getting 8 mpg, 10 MPG empty
It just cost me $11.85 to cut my grass its a quarter acre with a push mower which they want to ban in California by the way anything gas-powered where do they think plastic and batteries come from it takes petrol to make the Plastics the batteries the lithium has to be stripped from the earth which is a rare Earth mineral therefore burning more fuel to extract these things any solving any f****** problems it's making more people really want the Earth to get better stop having everything delivered and get back to going to an actual place and getting service from people instead of a Blank Stare from a dumbass with some earbuds in a phone in his hand 😂🇺🇸
yeah, and only 1 truck was getting fuel. 🤣
I would have loved to seen the pumps and total of all the gas expenses.
5k just for the part in the video lol
Definitely didn't think that telehandler was going to lift that dozer. Impressive
I didn’t think it would either, I need one lmao
The data plate on the telehandler tells you how much you can lift at different hinge pin heights from load center the plate on the old iron has it weight on it also great way to get it out just pick it up and put it on the trailer I love it what a great start up on the large loader it was fun to watch thank you Heavy DSOS😃
@@alphonsotate2982 I heard him say it was a 12k machine but that old dozer had to be close to 12k lol

Your work ethic is top shelf, and the care for your team and equipment is refreshing to see. Look after your tools and team and they will look after you.
You know some of us would REALLY love to have some of that old equipment
big thanks to Dave for being one of the few guys who actually know the differents between a track loader and a bulldozer, atta boy Dave
I appreciate your channel. For a disabled guy like myself I enjoy the adventures you all have. Still hoping to talk about a diesel golf cart to help me get around my city. Just cause I'm disabled doesn't mean I can't be mobile as well. You guys rock keep up the great work. Thanks guys.
Being disabled sucks!!! But it doesnt mean we cant do anything! Keep your head up bro! That golf cart idea sounds awesome!
You rolled that Sany in under that dozer and I thought what am I missing here??? Holy damn. I've been a farmer/operator my entire life. I am way beyond impressed. We all know DD, everything you touch brother. You will find amazing help and have a gold mine!
cool episode guys. I like watching the parts where you bust out the experience of salvage/recovery and using your know-how to get something started or lift it from some place ridiculous. It is a true skill set. Appreciate you sharing. Looking forward to what the future brings for your team.
Old guy here and I was taught and used ATF down lines to help loosen crap in the lines, in the fuel filter when replacing, and in the tank for cold weather (a quart per 100 gallons).
🤔 👍🏻
Definitely go for the gold mine. I will totally watch. I have watched most of your videos and will keep doing so. Keep up the great work always entertaining and great content thank you for keeping the show alive. You have a great company and great employees.
Incredible. So cool how the team works together getting after it.
You'd better give us a "will it start" on that smaller track loader after the huge tease this video was! I'll definitely watch it!
Definitely!!, I wanted to see the Old Drott more than the Komy.
Thanks for talking about the scammers! I went through your comments and saw all the scammers comments! That’s how I figured it out! 👍🇺🇸
thank you for talking about the fake accounts, I messaged you some time ago about the scammers, thank you for the awesome content keep it up, I would love to help with one of your rescues.
Wow! Great job and I’m amazed at the track loader.
If you seriously were to consider the Mine I would give Freddy Dodge to come look at the equipment and samples from the mine to see if it is viable. He can show you how to run it too.
Freddy Dodge He is the gold man..
Let's start digging! I think this would be a great series to watch. Awesome video guys.
I bet Sany pretty happy about that impressive real-world workout! Nice.
Would love to see you take the history of the Gold Mine and make it new history. I enjoy watching anything you put out. A man and crew of many talents with love and care for others is astounding. Please keep doing these.
Do not fall for this I sure did
Is diesel Dave as nice and chill as he really seems on these videos? Always seems to be in the best mood 👍
The zooms on Jim while he's eating the sandwich made me laugh more than it should have
At least you show your workers working with you. That for me makes your show. Great video's.
As a former Agricultural engineer I can fully admire the capabilities of that telehandler knowing what stresses their components can be under and that thing just did it in its stride 👍🏻
Having 12k lb capacity is always a plus, can move a lot of things with relative ease
Man these cats have to Love having Allen around. Dude is RUclips gold.
Industrial Gold builds one hell of a compressor! A good friend that has a welding shop bought one after my recomendation since I had been using one in my body shop for over a year without any issues. Anyway, he didn't have it installed for more than a couple of months when he had a water seperator blow apart in the middle of the night. He isn't sure how many hours the compressor ran, but when he opened up the shop that next morning it was full of smoke. He killed the compressor, found the bad seperator and replaced it, then changed the compressor oil. The thing took back off and there was 0 pressure loss. It worked like a new one. John and his guys definitly do it right.
it's good to see craftsmen at work....knowing what they're doing and not just playing around..You guys are very entertaining AND educational!!! Thanks!
Good afternoon Heavy D, I totally enjoyed your recovery in the episode.
Your team are some of the best group of guys.
The synergy of your team and organization it awesome.
Nice seeing people working good together.
Really was pretty exciting.
I loved seeing the Komatsu get started and running and driving out of there under its own power.
Great video!
Thank for sharing, EM.
This was amazing and a eye opener to me personally. Lost my job in security 3 months ago and you guys are right it's time to get out and get my dreams rolling
Do not reply it's a complete scam they got me good
Cant wait to see you guys put your spin on mining. GREAT JOB! Never been a diesel guy but love watching you guys do these recoveries and put life back in dead equipment
Go mining! The smaller loader may be an International, they were partial to red, so was Austin-Western. Our county road department had 2 Austin- Western road graders that were almost the same shade of red as the little track loader.
Team work makes the dream work. Love how well you guys work together. What a group effort.
please drill holes / test the ground before you blind buy or lease a gold mine.
Hands down Allen and Hunter know how to fix the stuff. Jimbo knows but he has worked hard to not have to mess with that kinda stuff no more lol.
I agree
In days gone by I've used forklifts of several sizes, that Sany was beautiful to watch. Yes, operator needs skills, they only go so far.
I enjoy watching (with envy) your recovery videos. The "Drott" trackloader that you're referring to appears to be an ol' International TD 6 or 9 with pre-60's Harvester red paint. Drott made attachments for International and other manufacturers way back then. Please keep the recovery videos coming.
I myself would like to see a gold mine series.
I would love to just tag along on 1 of these recoveries, guess that’s why we have a bucket list .
U guys are the coolest. Working on old equipment and trying to get running. Me & my late dad used to do same. He taught me how to drive on Farmall tractor we got running. Plz be careful when going into those mines. But ur show is great sometimes I don't want to turn off due to just want to watch more. Be safe .
Yes i want you to buy that gold mine, for the reason i would never be able to buy stuff like that here in germany and you guys just do amazing stuff. A gold mine would fit right into your style of everything :).
Nice Video as always. Love your content. You find a way to make me watch a 44min video and it just feels good!
You guys need to reach out to Discovery and work out a deal for make an episode with Freddy Dodge's mine Rescue. It would be awesome to see you guys work together.
Loved this recovery, hope to see a mining video, would be good to see the drot up and running back there and shovelling dirt
I was REALLY rooting to see that tractor start up, much like I was when the guys were trying to get that turbine powered de-ice machine start. Thankfully, this one started!! BTW, did that de-icer ever start? We need closure!! 😁🇺🇸
Thank you for the great content and the 2 videos in one day! Keep ‘em coming!!! Thank you all for the positivity y’all bring! God bless y’all!!!
MERCH IDEA: You should design a fleece couch blanket, with a seatbelt print, so we can “Buckle Up” while watching your videos.
haha that's genius! maybe I'll include actual seatbelts
@@HeavyDSparks And, if it’s reversible, the wife and I could look like driver and passenger. Lol
That’s just too funny not to do it. 😅😅
👍👍
@@HeavyDSparks use the seat belt as the wrap so you can roll your blanket up lol
Love how he turned work into fun. Just him and is friends helping the world.
I'm on board! Sounds like a great next venture for you, your company, and your fan base!
The dramatic filling up of the trucks at the local station was a nice touch... never know what might happen!
Does the Sanny have airless tires? Its cool seeing equipment with airless tires becoming more common, excited to see where they go in the future
Go For It Heavy D !!! Let's dig some gold !!
I'd love to watch you guys get this mine up and running
Epic upload! Good stuff! Its absolutely satisfying, on so many levels, when extraordinary goals can be achieved, and you've got the best team to do it with! Keep doing what you do!
id love to see u do some gold mining and get the mine running. love the content keep up the great work !
Hey Chris respect man I like what you're doing I want to learn more to fix all machine and even a car I really respect what you guys doing out there because bless you man
Thanks for the clarity.....I never do fall for the clickbait but I am glad you are making it safer for others.
Hi there Heavy D , I'm all in for dipping the fingers into gold mining!! I think you boys are living the dream. Great content Brother 👌 👏 👍 🤠🇦🇺
Wouldn't clamping a welder to that steel gate fry anything that touches it? a 50 amp output would set it on fire whilst snapping tendons.
50-80V AC or DC? No probably not. Also they'd have to have a grounding rod stuck. And electricity takes the path of least resistance so the first pole that touches ground.
On a side note, I always thought Jackknife Jim was Ryan Nyquist in disguise.
Lmao
Haha 😂😂
I've always been told: "if you are going to use starting fluid on a diesel, ONLY use just a TINY amount, no more and be sure you are turning the motor over when you spray (for the smallest fraction of a second) the intake."...so seeing him just hose that diesel engine with starting fluid kinda shocked me a tad.
You were taught right.
sounds good to me, just have fun! i am curious what the progress has been on repairing your boat? it would be cool to see it going again too.
Hey sorry bro also to your crew I love the camaraderie you guys work together as a team respect about that
How do they say that. There is gold in them there hills! If I was your age I would go for it. Love the channel, always something new.
That's about twenty times more starting fluid than I have ever seen anyone use. LOL
