Could someone explain? I'm not native :/
Edit: Thank you to everyone that explained it!
While the layman would say, "They dug up a fortune in those hills.", a gold prospector, likely familiar with hick speak, would say "They dug up a fortune in them there hills." The non-binary part comes into play by turning there into their, alluding to the assertion of pronouns common with the non-binary community.
