Parker Schnabel, a veteran gold miner, along with his teammate Mitch Blaschke, ventured to a new land in Alaska, promising to surpass all his achievements in the gold mining industry. Just when it seemed like luck was leaving them, they discovered a million-dollar gold mine in Alaska’s wilderness. This happened just as winter ended, when the melting snow signaled the start of the gold mining season. Parker and Mitch went to a location 20 miles north of Fairbanks, based on rumors that the area was a literal gold mine. They found worn mining equipment, proving that the area had been mined before. Meeting Ilaura, the landowner’s daughter, further encouraged them as she shared stories of significant discoveries previously made on the land and expressed optimism that this land would bring them success. The exploration continued with the discovery of old mining tools and long-dug pits, all increasing the hopes for a large gold deposit. As a result, Parker and Mitch planned to return to Yukon to gather manpower and equipment, preparing for a major mining effort in Alaska.
