Hey, buddy, where's your stick?

After mining out every inch of his claim, Parker's crew assembles for the last gold weigh of the season.

Where's my truck?
-
There's still a nugget in my glove box.

I think what the number would be of all the gold made it to the golden Chris.

You're one to talk.

Despite a final hole worth more than $1 million Parker has ended his season 204 ounces short of last season's total.

But by mining his own ground, he's increased his profit by more than a 1,000,000.
