Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine Season 2 Episode 3 Big Bowl Bet

Dave Turin continues to search for gold in his new series Lost Mine on the Discovery Channel. In season 2 episode 3, titled "Big Bowl Bet," Dave and his team are still in Montana looking for the big score. This episode begins with the crew already on the hunt for gold, but they are having a difficult time finding promising signs of it.

Dave and his team come up with a new plan to find gold. They decide to focus on a spot called the "Big Bowl," a large area within their mining claims that they believe should hold a good amount of gold. The crew starts digging deeper and wider in the Big Bowl area, hoping to find bigger veins of gold.

As they dig, the team runs into a lot of challenges. They have to deal with dangerously steep terrain and unstable rocks, as well as strong winds that threaten to halt their progress. But Dave's team is determined to keep going, knowing that there could be a huge payoff at the end of their hard work.

Dave relies heavily on his geologist, Chris Taylor, to help guide the team in determining where to dig. Chris uses a probe to take readings of the earth, and then interprets the data to figure out where the gold might be hiding. With Chris's guidance, Dave and the crew start to find small veins of quartz that contain gold.

The team continues to excavate deeper into the Big Bowl, and they finally hit a major discovery. They come across a large section of rock full of gold. Dave is elated and knows that this find could be worth millions of dollars.

But just as quickly as they made this discovery, something goes wrong. A gas line on the property ruptures, causing the team to evacuate the mine. This is a huge setback for Dave and his crew as they have to shut down operations and wait for the gas to dissipate before they can get back to work.

As they wait, Dave is faced with another challenge. He has bet his crew that they will find gold in a certain area of the Big Bowl. However, they only have a limited amount of time to uncover the gold. If they don't find anything, Dave will have to pay each member of his crew $100.

Dave is determined not to lose the bet, and he pushes his team to work even harder. They finally get back to digging, and they are able to find another promising area with quartz veins that could contain gold. Dave's crew is excited about the possibility of striking even more gold, but time is running out.

In the end, Dave and his crew pull through and make an incredible discovery. They hit a massive vein of gold that could change their fortunes forever. But as always, there is still more work to be done, and Dave and his team will have to keep pushing forward to see just how much gold they can unearth in the Big Bowl.
