Discovery - Tony’s Crew Transforms Their Shaker Deck | Gold Rush | Discovery
In the video, Tony's team is tasked with replacing an old Shaker deck with a new one. Tony assigns his nephew, cousin Mike, to ensure the new Shaker deck is operational by the end of the week. The first task involves removing the old, broken screen deck. Following this, Tony's crew reinforces the new screen deck and hopper with steel plates to protect the new poly deck. Tony decides to use a one-inch thick steel plate for added protection. The plan is to have two plants operational, which is the ultimate goal. Cousin Mike is responsible for moving the plant 200 feet to the other side of the pay pile. With Tony's eldest son Kevin no longer working for the family business, cousin Mike has been promoted to Indian River Foreman, a role he hopes to excel in despite the challenges. The video captures the team's efforts to position the new deck correctly and the coordination required to complete the task efficiently.
