00:00:01Now, on Bering Sea Gold, Mother Nature strikes as an early cold front stuns the fleet.
00:00:14Within 24 hours, temperatures will plummet.
00:00:18We've got to get moving.
00:00:19And the harbor will start to freeze, forcing miners into a scramble to save their season.
00:00:27Let's make money!
00:00:30Every minute on gold is vital.
00:00:34We're running around the clock.
00:00:36It's brutal.
00:00:37Every decision critical.
00:00:39Everything's on the line.
00:00:42As some captains race to stay afloat.
00:00:45I've had it with this.
00:00:47Come on!
00:00:48While others aim to make this their richest summer yet.
00:00:52Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:00:54Everything's finally coming together at the end.
00:00:57I nailed gold!
00:00:59I see gold in this loose box, and I know I'm getting gold!
00:01:03I'm here to make money, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to make that money.
00:01:19The unexpected arrival of freezing temperatures has Vernon Adkisson testing his team like never before.
00:01:26Diving for gold is always a crapshoot.
00:01:31We don't know.
00:01:31This cold front's coming in fast.
00:01:34Everything's freezing up.
00:01:36I thought we had another week, but there's no chance.
00:01:39We've got today, and if we're lucky, one more.
00:01:42And then after that, it's all over.
00:01:45The fat lady has sung.
00:01:47It's been grueling work for these guys, and they're showing a lot of wear and tear.
00:02:04But since we're running out of time, they can't slow down.
00:02:08We're under way.
00:02:09The weather forecast changed since the last time I looked at it.
00:02:14So now it looks like we're going to pull out by about midnight.
00:02:20We've got to go out here and take advantage of every opportunity.
00:02:24Time's getting short.
00:02:28We're going from the break of dawn to midnight.
00:02:31It's going to be balls to the wall.
00:02:34Anchor up!
00:02:34Everybody on the boat is running on fumes, including me.
00:02:42We need dive hours today.
00:02:44I hope these guys have something left in the tank.
00:02:57Diving in the cold water, there's a cringe element to it.
00:03:01Of course, we've got hot water in the suit, but still.
00:03:05There's going to be some areas of the body that are cold.
00:03:08This job is not for everyone.
00:03:10Sometimes I wonder if it's even for me.
00:03:14It's a dark, lonely, boring, grueling, miserable job.
00:03:20And when you start seeing those flakes of gold light up down there, suddenly your psychology
00:03:27starts to change.
00:03:28The deciding factor is what's in that box when we do our clean-out.
00:03:33And then it's either all worth it or it's not.
00:03:40Scott's starting to break down.
00:03:42It can happen to the best of them at the end of the season.
00:03:46He's going to have to dig deep into his reserves to keep going.
00:03:49Yeah, loud and clear.
00:04:13Let's see what the seafloor has in store for us today.
00:04:27Go ahead, throttle up.
00:04:29OK, stand back.
00:04:43OK, I put the hole right where I went down.
00:04:53This is a weird-looking claim.
00:04:56I didn't see any gold, so I'm going to just keep prospecting.
00:05:07Right now, he's just taking a walk around, looking around.
00:05:11Sometimes you don't drop down right on top of it.
00:05:14Sometimes you've got to look around a little bit.
00:05:41I'm in some gold here.
00:05:44Hooray!
00:05:45Woo!
00:05:46Let's get that gold.
00:05:48The gold looks good.
00:05:49All right, all right, hook it up.
00:05:50I'm just going to take the gold out of it.
00:05:51Okay, that sounds good.
00:05:52Sounds like a plan.
00:05:53Copy that.
00:05:54Pop it up.
00:05:55Pop it up.
00:05:56Pop it up.
00:05:57Back in the harbor.
00:05:59Gloves.
00:06:00All right, I didn't bring my .
00:06:01I brought mine.
00:06:02The gold looks good.
00:06:03All right, all right, hook it up.
00:06:04I'm just going to take the gold out of it.
00:06:06Okay, that sounds good.
00:06:07Sounds like a plan.
00:06:08Copy that.
00:06:09Pop it up.
00:06:10Pop it up.
00:06:11Pop it up.
00:06:12Pop it up.
00:06:13Back in the harbor.
00:06:14Gloves.
00:06:15All right, I didn't bring my .
00:06:16I brought mine.
00:06:17The colder it gets, the more of a .
00:06:18I become.
00:06:19Chris Kelly prepares for an all-out last-ditch effort ahead of the approaching cold front.
00:06:24Don't be negative, Chris.
00:06:26Push hard, and everything will be fine.
00:06:27Here, just take this, and I'll pass one.
00:06:28I had a killer plan for summer.
00:06:33Look at the chunky, big blanks.
00:06:35We're killing it.
00:06:36Get the mistress working on time.
00:06:37I'm going to get the mistress working on time.
00:06:38I'm going to get my .
00:06:39I'm going to get my .
00:06:40I'm going to get my .
00:06:41I'm going to get my .
00:06:42I'm going to get my .
00:06:43I'm going to get my .
00:06:44Here, just take this, and I'll pass one.
00:06:45I had a killer plan for summer.
00:06:53We're killing it.
00:06:54Get the mistress working on Tom Kot.
00:06:56.
00:06:57This is what I've been looking for.
00:06:59And get the crawler on Claymax.
00:07:02We're eating!
00:07:03We're .
00:07:04We're eating!
00:07:05But I didn't get the crawler out till late in the season, and I had problems with the mistress.
00:07:13I'm just trying to stay out of debt.
00:07:16You want me to drive?
00:07:18No, I got it.
00:07:20The only way I can pull that off
00:07:22is have both boats work the rest of the season
00:07:25until the harbor freezes over.
00:07:37Here we go.
00:07:39It's gonna be a great day.
00:07:41I'm gonna take the crawler out
00:07:42and Kevin's in charge of the mistress.
00:07:47Kevin's got a lot of money invested into this,
00:07:49but he doesn't have the mining background that I do.
00:07:52So I have to check on him
00:07:54to make sure he's doing things right.
00:07:57That's one hell of a cycle time.
00:07:59Whoever's running that excrementer
00:08:01may be fast as well.
00:08:03Whoa!
00:08:09They're just now putting the bucket in the water.
00:08:11Man, it doesn't look like we're working on the same line
00:08:13that I left him on.
00:08:15We're way too close to the shore.
00:08:18A slow cycle time is the operator's fault
00:08:21and the fault of whoever's watching the operator.
00:08:24I left us on great gold and now Kevin needs to keep us on it.
00:08:31I don't want to yell at Kevin.
00:08:33He's my partner.
00:08:34But the point of this is to make money, not lose it.
00:08:38Let me do a test plan real quick.
00:08:40I just want to see what kind of gold we're getting.
00:08:45Let's see what kind of gold we're getting.
00:09:02I'm not seeing gold in here.
00:09:05Let me do one more test plan.
00:09:07Let me do one more test plan.
00:09:26Trash, homie.
00:09:27Trash.
00:09:28Trash.
00:09:29Bad enough being on weak gold.
00:09:43We're on no gold.
00:09:45There's no time left.
00:09:46This is a disaster.
00:09:49My operation's run by test pants.
00:09:51You have to prove to me there's gold.
00:09:54Zero gold.
00:09:56Zero gold.
00:09:58If Kevin would have been test panting,
00:10:00he would have seen we weren't getting anything.
00:10:02And he would have known the mistress
00:10:04drifted off where I had them.
00:10:05We need to find a better spot is what I think.
00:10:09And once again, it's up to me to get us back on the gold.
00:10:12Let's go upstairs and look at the GPS for two seconds.
00:10:16I don't know what to say.
00:10:20So what do you think?
00:10:21Go back to this area right here?
00:10:22Yeah, I think go back.
00:10:23How many feet is that away from here?
00:10:25From here, probably I would say 200, 300 feet away.
00:10:27Yeah, let's do that.
00:10:28That's the spot.
00:10:31Try to find the black out there.
00:10:33Okay, let's do this.
00:10:41We're running out of time.
00:10:41So I'm just fighting to keep Reaper Nation alive.
00:10:44I've had it with this .
00:10:46The truth is we're failing since I haven't been
00:10:49on this .
00:10:55Another .
00:10:56Dude, I just want to gold mining.
00:11:02Whoa!
00:11:03Bam, they don't put out the chuggies.
00:11:06I'm stoked about this.
00:11:08Yeah.
00:11:09Yeah, get in there, man!
00:11:11Whoa!
00:11:12He's getting pretty close to the end out here.
00:11:25A fair bit of ice on the water this morning.
00:11:28All righty, let's get the heck out of here.
00:11:31With the clock ticking, Joe Fullwood's still short
00:11:34of his season goal.
00:11:36Well, happy to have you back on board, Wilson.
00:11:37We've missed you.
00:11:38Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:41But now, he's got a new weapon,
00:11:43as he aims to get over the finish line.
00:11:46Get out there to see and see what she's got.
00:11:49Make some more gold today.
00:11:52Last time I got out, I got hit
00:11:53with a potential season killer.
00:11:58Working in the current, it's pretty tiring.
00:12:02All done?
00:12:04Yeah, I'll head up on top.
00:12:06My partner, Michael, left town for the rest
00:12:08of the summer.
00:12:11But I lucked out.
00:12:12I got one of the best divers
00:12:13I've known, Wilson Hogan Doerr.
00:12:16Doesn't look too swell, young.
00:12:18Looks pretty nice, eh?
00:12:22Wilson, he's incredible.
00:12:24He's a generational miner, as well.
00:12:26He's got what it takes to get done what I need.
00:12:29Let's hope that we can see when we get underwater.
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:33My plan is get to the deepest patch yet
00:12:35on this pastry, where nobody's been.
00:12:38Wilson and I are going to tear this up.
00:12:40With the royalties we're hoping to pay Vernon
00:12:41on top of this season goal, we'll need to.
00:12:52Get every last bit we can before this freezes up.
00:12:54This time of year, we're blessed to get a little still water.
00:12:57It's probably real hot right in here along the sedge right here.
00:13:02But yeah, right up to those rocks.
00:13:05Yeah.
00:13:06We can set up right in there.
00:13:07That's pretty cool.
00:13:08Do it.
00:13:09Do it.
00:13:10Do it.
00:13:28Oh, yeah.
00:13:29Yeah, **** yeah.
00:13:32Dad.
00:13:44Mic check, mic check.
00:13:46Oh yeah, I'm playing.
00:13:59How's it looking down there?
00:14:09Pretty good down here.
00:14:12Pretty strong current coming from the west.
00:14:16It's not horrible on the bottom.
00:14:19We're rather than serious.
00:14:29Yeah, right in here.
00:14:52This is bad ass, dude.
00:14:57Come on in.
00:15:00Real polar, full of coordinates on it.
00:15:04Really?
00:15:10It's a real good call.
00:15:14Hey, it's big, dude.
00:15:18I'm just not popping this up.
00:15:21Still made some money.
00:15:24Get a couple more pieces of gold before it freezes up, eh?
00:15:31Back on land.
00:15:33Open and peel that back.
00:15:39Get this pit straightened out.
00:15:44Hell or high water.
00:15:46Frozen ground is threatening Sean Palmranke's hunt for a golden target.
00:15:53We got the whole thing down to pay.
00:15:56That's what I wanted.
00:15:58We got 20, 25 feet here in the back corner.
00:16:01Took me weeks to get down to the pay, and there's no guarantee that we're on the right spot.
00:16:07We found gold, but so far it's lower grade.
00:16:17I need to start seeing some more gold.
00:16:19Because if I don't, that means we went into a dead area, and then I'll be done.
00:16:24You have an idea of where the gold's at, but there's never a guarantee of how much gold there's gonna be.
00:16:36Spent tons of time and money to get here.
00:16:39I got $5 million owed on this new equipment.
00:16:43I sure in the hell hope I didn't miscalculate.
00:16:47We're gonna keep opening up ground as long as we can.
00:16:54Let's see if I can find this.
00:16:57We finally made it to this back corner.
00:17:00We're gonna work through this ground, and hopefully this is where the high grade material's at.
00:17:05Where you at?
00:17:10So on the mountain, that's disheartening.
00:17:27Right now, big numbers is what we need.
00:17:31Hopefully it ain't too late.
00:17:33What the hell is that?
00:17:40Yeah, there's something going on right there.
00:17:53What is this?
00:17:58Looks like an intersection right there, doesn't it?
00:18:02Yeah.
00:18:03This was the upright because of the big heavy timbers.
00:18:07Yeah.
00:18:11To mine for gold, the old timers constructed multiple underground tunnels accessible from deep vertical shafts throughout the site.
00:18:20Sean's uncovered where two of those underground tunnels intersected.
00:18:25So this is the vertical shaft, and then they have horizontal, and they went that way and that way.
00:18:34Oh, look at it.
00:18:36What's in the middle?
00:18:37Our cut.
00:18:38Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:18:40Yeah.
00:18:41We're right in the middle.
00:18:42Right in the middle.
00:18:44This is as good a sign as we can get that we're on the right track.
00:18:49We're right in the middle of where the old timers were working.
00:18:52Hell yeah.
00:18:53That means the best gold's right under our feet.
00:18:57We're heading that way.
00:18:59There's another horizontal shaft back there in the corner, so we know we're going in the right direction.
00:19:06We're getting close.
00:19:08I'll find it.
00:19:09I'll find it.
00:19:17There's snow in the mountains already.
00:19:19The end is coming quicker than I thought.
00:19:21Brutal, man.
00:19:22In the Macaulay camp, anxiety runs high, as falling short on the season has become a very real possibility for the captain.
00:19:31The gold is good, but just not enough days.
00:19:35I need to get more gold.
00:19:37Can't stop, won't stop.
00:19:39We're just going to have to keep trying and trying.
00:19:42For all of those who don't know yet, I'm one of the top gold getters I know.
00:19:46I've won the gold count in the past couple of winter seasons.
00:19:4990 ounces.
00:19:50If your scale doesn't look like that, ee, ee, ee, you ain't finding nothing.
00:19:57But I'm way behind from where I want to be.
00:20:00And I've been hit with a double whammy.
00:20:02First, I thought I was going to have the crawler for the final push.
00:20:07But that's not going to happen.
00:20:09And now, I found out this cold front is going to shut down this season early.
00:20:15So, I got my back up against the wall this time.
00:20:18I'm bummed out that the crawler didn't make it.
00:20:21But my plan is just to keep my head down and keep working, get this gold as much as I can.
00:20:27The reason why I want this crawler is because I want to stop relying on divers.
00:20:34I feel like a lot of divers are not meeting my standards.
00:20:37They don't have the same skill set as I do and the same determination.
00:20:42But now, I got to keep the box fed at all times.
00:20:45So, I'm going to have to rely on divers more than ever.
00:20:57We're running around the clock.
00:20:59That's my strategy, is to keep working and get as much hours as possible until the end of this season.
00:21:06Here we are, pulling up.
00:21:11See how the boys did?
00:21:13What's up, dude?
00:21:15Good morning.
00:21:17The night crew finished up the ground that I left them on.
00:21:20So, now I have to find another pastry.
00:21:23So far, so good.
00:21:27Let's get to it.
00:21:29I need to set this up to make it easy for these guys.
00:21:32And I'm the strongest diver.
00:21:34So, I need to work as many hours as I can.
00:22:02I need to stand in.
00:22:06Ok Chris, mic check.
00:22:08Ya, to onde check.
00:22:17Go ahead, idling up.
00:22:18Alright, idling up.
00:22:32It looks like PJ and Tyler did quite a bit of damage here last night, so that tells me
00:22:49the night shift are staying on the cold.
00:22:53Matter of fact, I'm going to swing over.
00:23:00Alright, right here.
00:23:02Oh, looking good already.
00:23:09You can see it, look at that.
00:23:11That right there, that's some ancient s**t.
00:23:16Never been touched.
00:23:18Question is, is there gold in it?
00:23:20Oh yeah, there it is.
00:23:36See?
00:23:37Look at that.
00:23:38Gold.
00:23:39Gold.
00:23:43We're on a new line.
00:23:44I like what I'm seeing right there.
00:23:47See, look at that.
00:23:48All coarse pieces.
00:23:49Eight, ten plus pieces coming out of this soft pan.
00:23:54I need to pound as much as I can get out of this.
00:23:58You can just hear the gold clinging onto this steel pipe.
00:24:03And it sounds like a crystal chandelier.
00:24:08That's how you know you're on a good spot.
00:24:14Wonderful.
00:24:15Back in the harbor.
00:24:21We gotta go.
00:24:25I wanna go to grind town.
00:24:26Totally.
00:24:27The oncoming cold front is forcing the 10-off team to recalculate their strategy.
00:24:34What we need to do is go and, like, make giant holes.
00:24:38Yeah.
00:24:39Like, that's it.
00:24:40This cold front could really screw things up for us.
00:24:43We thought we were gonna have more time, but we might only have another couple days at
00:24:48most.
00:24:49We've been working in this sand and the gold's still looking good, so we need to step it up.
00:24:53I wanna just dig a hole right here, see what's happening.
00:24:57We're gonna work around the clock, even though we're still pretty beat up from that boulder
00:25:01patch.
00:25:02But the synergy moves through material very fast.
00:25:06You have a big nozzle and a lot of power, and you can do high volume through a lot of
00:25:12sand.
00:25:13Okay, let's do it.
00:25:24Shocking every time.
00:25:31We got a big hole in the sand.
00:25:32We're just opening up this big hole in the sand, bigger and bigger and bigger.
00:25:42Since we can blast through material so fast, we need to keep moving and follow the hotter
00:25:49gold.
00:25:50We're down to just a matter of hours left in this season.
00:25:53And we can't just keep looking and searching and looking and searching.
00:25:57through material very hot.
00:25:58We don't even have to control.
00:25:59We don't have to control.
00:26:00We don't have to control.
00:26:01We need to control the shrimps.
00:26:02I think you should go, like, pretty directly east and northeast.
00:26:22I think you should make a cut, like, from about 1 o'clock all the way over to about 10 o'clock
00:26:28and kind of chase it east-northeast.
00:26:30Okay.
00:26:32I'm on the bottom.
00:26:37Fire if I'm closed.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:54It goes through the nozzle really easily.
00:26:57It's, like, bottomless.
00:26:59I'm just going to move a bunch of it so we'll see if there's gold in it.
00:27:06This is literally what this boat was designed to do, you know, because it just moves ungodly
00:27:10amounts of volume of, like, a big tall berm.
00:27:14Yeah.
00:27:15I've got to, like, really open up the hole, you know?
00:27:27Whoa.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:30There's a lot of ground to cover.
00:27:34Dude, you start making money when you have the vast expanses of, like, consistent ground
00:27:48that you can just grind on.
00:27:49Yeah, we've been just, like, diving in a new spot almost every day that we've been out here.
00:27:56And, like, that makes it really hard to have any consistency.
00:28:02Yeah.
00:28:03I'm proud of us.
00:28:04We all, for the most part, kept pretty cool heads through that.
00:28:07But we're back in it.
00:28:08I mean, everybody wants more gold.
00:28:11It's going to be great if we stay in this stuff, dude.
00:28:13It's going to be just great.
00:28:16The current keeps pulling me back.
00:28:18If I'm really fighting it, come on!
00:28:22.
00:28:23.
00:28:24No, this is kicking my ass.
00:28:26Ah!
00:28:38Camera, position!
00:28:41I need you to get that activator, and I need you to make it happen.
00:28:44to make it happen.
00:28:47Desperate for a big haul, Reaper Nation
00:28:50needs to reverse their fortunes.
00:28:53I already got both spuds down.
00:28:55Let's go.
00:28:56It's weird bossing Kevin around, but he messed up.
00:29:02He had the mistress literally getting no gold,
00:29:05and we're in a time crunch.
00:29:06Oh, it's the smelly .
00:29:15I don't know.
00:29:15How much sand did you have to go through to get that?
00:29:18Not much.
00:29:19Take another scoop, but I like it,
00:29:21but there's no rocks in it.
00:29:28See, everybody asks me what kind of material
00:29:30are you looking for.
00:29:32See this?
00:29:33This black, slimy .
00:29:39And it's got that nasty smell to it,
00:29:41like decomposing crap.
00:29:44You want a smell?
00:29:47This is what you want, but you want it with rocks
00:29:50and lots of gold.
00:29:51Does this have gold in it?
00:29:52I don't know.
00:30:01That's rocks.
00:30:03I like that.
00:30:04What do you think?
00:30:05Well, there's only one way to find out.
00:30:07We've got to turn on the plant.
00:30:20Everything's running great.
00:30:21I don't know why I have to be out here.
00:30:27Everybody knows what I'm doing right here.
00:30:29It's nothing special.
00:30:30But when I'm out here, I don't stop until I'm on good gold,
00:30:34and then we start working.
00:30:35I just don't show up and hope I'm getting gold.
00:30:40Here we go.
00:30:49Here we go.
00:30:49It's always a good sign when you're starting to see a lot of gold early.
00:30:56We're seeing some chunky pieces.
00:30:57We're seeing some fun.
00:30:58We're seeing a good mix of everything.
00:31:02We got good gold.
00:31:03That's all that matters.
00:31:04We got good gold.
00:31:05That's all that matters.
00:31:07I smell gold.
00:31:09I see gold in the sky.
00:31:09It's always a good sign when you're starting to see a lot of gold early.
00:31:11It's always a good sign when you're starting to see a lot of gold early.
00:31:14The mistress isn't even my job.
00:31:41I need to be on the crawler or we're never going to get the ounces we need
00:31:44to pay the bills.
00:31:45I'm going to get out of here.
00:31:47Okay, back up.
00:31:49Kevin, lead us away, huh?
00:31:52I need to be back on that boat.
00:31:57We're making the best of a bad situation.
00:32:01Across the water.
00:32:02The gold looks pretty good.
00:32:07I just hope I can keep staying on it.
00:32:11Scott Foster has the Atkinson team on gold.
00:32:14But he's showing signs of breaking down.
00:32:21You can see the current keeps pulling me back.
00:32:25I'm really fighting it.
00:32:27Come on.
00:32:28I just can't go where I want to.
00:32:33Swells strike all the time on the Bering Sea, and conditions are not ideal.
00:32:46Oh, come on!
00:32:48Just a few days ago, Scott would have been plowing through stuff like this.
00:32:55Come on!
00:32:57He's not happy.
00:33:01I don't know if it's body is just too beat up or if it's head is not in the right place.
00:33:09But hopefully he can pull it together.
00:33:12Oh, this is kicking my ass!
00:33:19Oh, this is kicking my ass!
00:33:21Oh!
00:33:23Oh!
00:33:24Oh!
00:33:25Oh!
00:33:26Oh!
00:33:27Oh, come on!
00:33:30I can't do it anymore.
00:33:31I'm coming up!
00:33:37Every minute it's precious at this point, and Scott is throwing in the towel early.
00:34:02It doesn't look bad, but then it's beating me up down there.
00:34:15It's going to fall on Richie to go all the way to midnight.
00:34:20Feeling good!
00:34:22We'll go down and see how it goes.
00:34:27It's going to be a tough dive.
00:34:30All right.
00:34:31Sorry.
00:34:32Sorry, Doc!
00:34:33I'm in.
00:34:34I'm in.
00:34:35Got my hands.
00:34:36Oh!
00:34:37Oh!
00:34:38I'm in.
00:34:39Oh!
00:34:40Oh!
00:34:41I'm in.
00:34:42Oh!
00:34:43I'm in!
00:34:44Oh!
00:34:45Oh!
00:34:46Oh!
00:34:47Oh!
00:34:48Oh!
00:34:49Oh!
00:34:50Oh!
00:34:51I'm in.
00:34:52Oh!
00:34:53Oh!
00:34:54Oh!
00:34:55Oh!
00:34:56God!
00:34:57Oh!
00:34:58Oh!
00:34:59Oh!
00:35:00Hey, Rich, how's the visibility?
00:35:13I'd say we got about eight, nine feet.
00:35:16Wow, that's not bad at all.
00:35:18That's not bad.
00:35:19Richie's pulling it off.
00:35:25This boy's going to go the distance.
00:35:28But I need to know what's going on with Scott.
00:35:32Maybe he's done for the season.
00:35:33I don't know.
00:35:36I got to say, you gave it your best shot,
00:35:38but I was kind of frustrated, you know?
00:35:41I just, I'm depressed.
00:35:47A girl I was trying to pursue is dating somebody else now.
00:35:51She met him around the same time she met me.
00:35:55But she wanted to come up here.
00:35:57And then while she was up here, she kind of put him
00:35:59on the back burner.
00:36:00But now she's back down there, and they've reconnected,
00:36:02and it's just how it is.
00:36:05But it's hard to find any motivation, you know?
00:36:07Like, I can't really eat anything.
00:36:10I just have, like, this implosion in my chest, and so it's hard.
00:36:15I just want to sleep.
00:36:18And it's just hard to stay motivated.
00:36:26All I can tell you is go home with some gold in your pocket.
00:36:30Usually, you know, when we do a clean-out,
00:36:34and you get your share of that gold, usually that'll put a little smile on your face.
00:36:39That's something we'll look forward to.
00:36:43Mining's a tough business for romance.
00:36:46It amazes me how many men come up here and develop woman problems.
00:36:51I've seen this many times.
00:36:53I mean, personal experience.
00:36:55They call it a sea bag divorce.
00:36:57You got a sweetheart on the beach, you grab your sea bag, you ship out,
00:37:01come back four months later.
00:37:02Half the time, you can't even find her.
00:37:04Romance over.
00:37:08But Scott needs to realize that gold is a guy's best friend.
00:37:12If he's got gold, all those rheumatic problems and other problems,
00:37:16they all just go away.
00:37:20Hey, Richie.
00:37:21Yes, sir?
00:37:23What are you seeing down there?
00:37:26The material's only about three and a half inches deep.
00:37:34Let's see his gold throughout.
00:37:40I think we're back in business.
00:37:42Oh, that's perfect.
00:37:44Perfect.
00:37:45Yeah, we're back in business.
00:37:48Good show.
00:37:51He's doing good.
00:37:52He's doing good gold.
00:37:54Three and a half inches of overburden and gold throughout.
00:38:00Hell yeah.
00:38:03Damn it.
00:38:04I got a gym.
00:38:06Piss me off.
00:38:08What the ?
00:38:10Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:38:12AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
00:38:23How's it looking down there?
00:38:24Oh, man.
00:38:25This is going to pile up.
00:38:26It's rich.
00:38:27Super steady.
00:38:28It's round and special.
00:38:29What are you thinking?
00:38:30I'm in it all day.
00:38:31I'll meet you up front.
00:38:32On the deepest patch of the pastry, Joe Fullwoods put his team on hot ground.
00:38:49The longer you go, the more it takes out of you.
00:39:08It's horrible down there.
00:39:09Pretty tough dive.
00:39:10Yeah, real tough.
00:39:11But also, the more gold you get out of it.
00:39:15It's all we can do to finish the season.
00:39:16We're going to get what we get and we're not going to throw a fit.
00:39:22Real good gold.
00:39:23Really good.
00:39:24Really good.
00:39:25It's really good.
00:39:26It gets so hard to work.
00:39:28I'd hope that you can get something opened up down there now.
00:39:39This deep, we've got to watch nitrogen build up.
00:39:42Limit our dive time.
00:39:43You need to have experience and know how to pace yourself.
00:39:48Wilson knows what he's doing, which is why I'm glad to have him.
00:39:51Have fun.
00:39:56Yep.
00:40:08Hello?
00:40:12Oh yeah.
00:40:17Here she comes.
00:40:21Oh, yeah, here she comes.
00:40:23Here we go.
00:40:35Yeah, it looks like she's ripping.
00:40:43How you doing down there?
00:40:48I'm seeing her.
00:40:51Good course, gold.
00:40:54Boo-yah.
00:40:55Hell, yeah.
00:40:56Pretty rich gold, eh?
00:40:58That's good ground.
00:41:00G-spot.
00:41:02Hell, yeah.
00:41:04Spots really pan off out there.
00:41:06From the end of the season here,
00:41:08things are pumping together to a spot.
00:41:14Pretty gnarly, huh?
00:41:16Sounds like Wilson's enjoying this.
00:41:18Sounds like Wilson's enjoying the power that the High Newton has.
00:41:24Between Wilson and I,
00:41:25we're gonna grind until Mother Nature knocks us off the water.
00:41:32Hooked up.
00:41:34Glad you're enjoying yourself down there.
00:41:36I'm real fortunate that Wilson was able to come and finish the season off with me.
00:41:44Yeah, I couldn't find a better person to fill in for Michael.
00:41:48Pretty deep, but we're getting it done.
00:41:51We gon' take it all.
00:41:52Across the water.
00:41:55How are you feeling?
00:41:56It's good.
00:41:57Perfect.
00:42:03In the final flurry of summer, the 10-off team is finding their second wind.
00:42:10We can literally do this all day.
00:42:11Good.
00:42:12As Zeke banks five hours to start their round-the-clock marathon.
00:42:21That's your dive.
00:42:22I'm gonna idle at you now.
00:42:23You might as well come up.
00:42:25Okay.
00:42:31My turn.
00:42:33My turn.
00:42:34My turn.
00:42:35My turn.
00:42:42My turn.
00:42:47I think second dive is like the nicest dive to have out of all the ships.
00:42:51To be up in the morning, but you don't gotta get into that cold wetsuit first thing in the morning.
00:42:55You have coffee, bullsh**t for four hours.
00:42:57And then right in the peak of your energy throughout the day, you go down.
00:43:05Tell time.
00:43:06Time to see how we did.
00:43:12Tell time.
00:43:17I want, like, a medium and acceptable tell.
00:43:23There's a little chinkist down there, dude.
00:43:26Hey.
00:43:28Hey.
00:43:30Yeah, I'm stoked about this.
00:43:32My body is telling me that I'm exhausted, but the gold is keeping me going.
00:43:38We're all over rock piles and f***ing over it.
00:43:42We just want to make money.
00:43:43We know it's getting the bills paid.
00:43:46We'll just keep at it until everything freezes over or we tap out.
00:43:50Whichever one comes first.
00:43:51Give me the pump.
00:43:52Foggy sweet.
00:43:53Give me the pump.
00:43:54Foggy sweet.
00:43:55Foggy sweet.
00:43:56Foggy sweet.
00:43:58That's enough.
00:43:59That's enough to be together.
00:44:00Give me the pump.
00:44:01That's enough to be able to get from the bar.
00:44:02Give me the pump.
00:44:03Foggy sweet.
00:44:04Foggy sweet.
00:44:05Are you kidding?
00:44:06a lot of heavies and black stuff if we can keep the hose full i think we'll do fine
00:44:29no more finesse we are just moving yards dude yards of dirt i mean yeah it's very simple you
00:44:38drop down in a sand desert and punch a hole into it and then you just immediately have
00:44:46simple program going looking forward to being able to get a lot of work done before we wrap it up
00:44:52yeah well i'm glad to hear that things are feeling easier and um we have uh the hose full for sure
00:44:59we all need to get paid we need them right
00:45:06back on land
00:45:14every time we've had our best years it's been running around the old timers and where they've
00:45:20done the 11th hour hunt for high grade gold has reached a fever pitch oh yeah you can see where

00:46:18shells
00:46:20this is the beach

00:46:28where they dug through took out the gold and then it filled with water and refroze
00:46:34they went through here you can see they left burlap
00:46:39they used the burlap sacks to hold back material like a retaining wall it looks like
00:46:44if they were here mining you know there's gold
00:46:54the best pans have always been right on bedrock
00:47:04come on

00:51:43not starting man one thing or another
00:51:50They're not starting?
00:51:59Man, one thing or another.
00:52:05The pump shut down, so that means we can't pump any material up to the sluice box.
00:52:12The crawler's down there.
00:52:14It can move around, but we have no suction to bring up any gold.
00:52:20Come on, you piece of s**t.
00:52:39If we don't get that started, we're not going to make any gold today.
00:52:42Nope.
00:52:42I'm sitting here, I'm on the bottom of the ocean, I'm ready to go to work, but I can't
00:52:52get in the water through that s**t, it don't mean nothing.
00:52:54What's the matter?
00:53:14You feel a pump?
00:53:15Not responding.
00:53:18So what's the diagnosis?
00:53:20Pack it up?
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:21I just can't f**k win right now.
00:53:31F**k man.
00:53:36I was so close to having everything working.
00:53:44Now we need to get back to town so my mechanic, Diesel Dawn, can look it over, and we can
00:53:52get back out here mining.
00:53:53Well, that's it for that.
00:53:56Another day of failure.
00:53:57F**k.
00:53:58We should have made this work.
00:54:00We are good at packing up and going home.
00:54:02We like, we're probably the best people on the Bering Sea.
00:54:06No, I know.
00:54:07No, I know.
00:54:08I'm just trying to make some f**king jokes.
00:54:13I'm pissed.
00:54:14I'm f**king pissed.
00:54:16I know.
00:54:17I know.
00:54:18I know.
00:54:19I know.
00:54:20I know.
00:54:21I know.
00:54:22I know.
00:54:23I know.
00:54:24I know.
00:54:25I know.
00:54:26I know.
00:54:27But I know.
00:54:28Then Sam and Jeff can get started as soon as possible.
00:54:35The night crew arrives and Captain Zeke passes the baton as the fate of his season hangs in
00:54:41the balance.
00:54:47After I come up, Gabe will go down.
00:54:50After Gabe, it's going to be Jeff.
00:54:53And after Jeff, it'll be Sam.
00:54:55The best way to make money with the Synergy
00:54:56is to just keep a diver down, keep the hose full,
00:54:59and do back-to-back dives.
00:55:00As long as the box keeps getting lit up, this will work.
00:55:11Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:55:13Good god, we are in the cheese.
00:55:15That'll do.
00:55:16Yeah, bud.
00:55:19That'll do.
00:55:20Woo, yeah, boy.
00:55:24Tomorrow, we're going to do our first cleanup in a while.
00:55:27I would like to see 50 ounces for the hours that we put in.
00:55:31I have high hopes that there's a lot of good gold.
00:55:35I need rock star gold.
00:55:37While Zeke's squad stays hot.
00:55:42Woo!
00:55:45Definitely, this is the .
00:55:47I'm glad we got some good visibility today.
00:55:50Oh, I just got to take advantage of it.
00:55:53Chris McCulley is gambling on a new cut,
00:55:58putting in as many hours as he can.
00:56:00I hope I can just keep making gold and bring in a big clean out.
00:56:11Oh, good crap.
00:56:12All right.
00:56:13Beautiful stuff.
00:56:14Damn it.
00:56:15I got a gem.
00:56:16Ugh.
00:56:17Damn it.
00:56:18I got a gem.
00:56:19Ugh.
00:56:20Damn it.
00:56:21Go ahead, idle down.
00:56:22Let me chase it down real quick here.
00:56:24I got a way down.
00:56:26Hopefully it's not a really bad rock jam.
00:56:36And go ahead, idle down.
00:56:42Let me chase it down real quick here.
00:56:51Hopefully it's not a really bad rock jam.
00:56:53It just takes away from mining time.
00:56:55And when you're not sucking up material on the ground,
00:56:59you're not making gold.
00:57:06This is a real good one.
00:57:23And rocks.
00:57:24Even crawlers, everything gets some sort of change.
00:57:42Just got to work the problem.
00:57:54Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:58:01Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:58:09Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:58:26In need of maximum dive hours, Chris McCulley suddenly finds himself in a real jam.
00:58:33Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:58:40Come on, you son of a bitch.
00:58:47Okay, got it.
00:58:55Okay, got it.
00:59:02Go ahead, idle up.
00:59:04Idle back down.
00:59:19Coming up.
00:59:23Gotcha.
00:59:30Idle back down.
00:59:45Idle back down.
00:59:49Get tired, dude.
01:00:05Rock jams take all your energy out.
01:00:07You find yourself trying to hit this rock out and you just get exhausted at the end of the day.
01:00:14So I had to cut my dive short.
01:00:25I need Robert to make up the lost time.
01:00:27We're doing everything we can for the time we have left.
01:00:42I'm on the cut.
01:01:05I'm on the cut.
01:01:12What you seeing down there so far?
01:01:15That cut is really good.
01:01:18You seeing the goal right now, huh?
01:01:20Oh yeah.
01:01:21I'll be back.
01:01:22Keep following that page and then you'll be on it all day.
01:01:27Hell yeah.
01:01:30Lock's getting loaded real good.
01:01:33So real happy to see what we're going to do on this round.
01:01:38This is it.
01:01:39No time to mess around.
01:01:46Back on land.
01:01:52I'm just waiting on Don to call me.
01:01:55As the cold front creeps closer by the hour, Chris Kelly awaits a diagnosis from mechanic Diesel Don.
01:02:10Hey Don.
01:02:12Do you think it'll be a big fix?
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:15Whoa.
01:02:16How bad?
01:02:18Don says the situation's bad.
01:02:28Like there goes the season bad.
01:02:31Don says in order to fix it, it's going to be like a halfway rebuild of the engine.
01:02:37I think we're done, man.
01:02:40I'm the only person that doesn't see I'm done.
01:02:43Oh no, I'm seeing now we're done.
01:02:45And we're on such a great spot, man.
01:02:52It's not a quick fix and there's no way it'll be fixed by the end of summer.
01:02:59We're going to have such a good day.
01:03:07My dream of working with the crawler on Claymex is done.
01:03:10At least for this season.
01:03:14It looks like it's the end for the all in.
01:03:18And back to working on the mistress to try to save our season.
01:03:21That's all I can do right now.
01:03:25It's up to the mistress to keep Reaper Nation in business.
01:03:30Oh, man.
01:03:31It's just been such a struggle.
01:03:35And I could have pulled it all together at the end.
01:03:38I just needed one more chance to go out there.
01:03:44We're .
01:03:45That's it.
01:03:46Talk about up a good plan.
01:03:47How you doing down there?
01:03:57Oh, yeah, baby.
01:04:00Joe's newest recruit is paying dividends for Team Fuldwood.
01:04:01All righty, Wilson.
01:04:02Your ship's up right about now.
01:04:03That's the end of it, huh?
01:04:04Yeah, it is.
01:04:05Thanks so much for coming along and helping wrap things up.
01:04:06Yeah, no problem.
01:04:07Thanks for having me, man.
01:04:08I thought the season was over when Michael said he had to leave.
01:04:12But with Wilson on board, we'll be finishing strong.
01:04:13All righty.
01:04:14I'll meet you up front.
01:04:15Yep.
01:04:16Sounds good.
01:04:18Good dive today.
01:04:19We shot gold up faster than about, right?
01:04:20We're at the end of it, we're at the end of it, we're at the end of it.
01:04:22Yeah, I'm a little bit, huh?
01:04:24Yes, it's good for you.
01:04:25You're welcome.
01:04:26I'm a little bit.
01:04:27I'm a little bit.
01:04:28You're welcome.
01:04:29I'm a little bit, huh?
01:04:30Yeah, it is.
01:04:31Thanks so much for coming along and helping wrap things up.
01:04:32Yeah, no problem.
01:04:33Thanks for having me, man.
01:04:34I thought the season was over when Michael said he had to leave.
01:04:36All righty.
01:04:37I'll meet you up front.
01:04:38Yep, sounds good.
01:04:42Good dive there.
01:04:45We shot gold up faster than about any dredge out here.
01:04:50Across the claim.
01:04:54You're doing great.
01:04:55You're doing great down there, Rich.
01:04:57You suck.
01:04:58In a good kind of way.
01:05:01The box looks good up here.
01:05:03He copies, it feels good down here.
01:05:07Richie Huffman makes up for lost time.
01:05:10Literally, after diver Scott Foster threw in the towel.
01:05:18You're really wrapping up your game there, buddy.
01:05:22I told you to put more material through it, you did.
01:05:26The more material you run up that hose,
01:05:29the more gold we're going to have in the box.
01:05:31Over.
01:05:33I'm just trying to do my thing.
01:05:36Yeah, yeah.
01:05:40I might have created a monster.
01:05:42He's rocking and rolling now.
01:05:47Richie and I have not always seen eye to eye,
01:05:51but he's delivering when I need it the most.
01:05:55Okay, Richie.
01:05:57We're going to call her today.
01:05:59Come on up.
01:06:00Okay.
01:06:01Coming up.
01:06:21Good man.
01:06:22Good man.
01:06:24So you said it was rough down there?
01:06:26That hose is yanking.
01:06:28I almost came up sooner because I was getting to the point
01:06:30where I wasn't going to be able to hold onto that rope.
01:06:32It's coming up about a foot and a half of it.
01:06:34Bam!
01:06:36Richie hung tough and got us to midnight.
01:06:38When you watch a rookie develop into a first-class gold miner,
01:06:41it's always a good thing to watch.
01:06:45I do love it.
01:06:46I actually like hanging out with him, too.
01:06:48He's not too bad.
01:06:50I told you, you know, you stick around here long enough,
01:06:52you'll be running the show.
01:06:54Along with the nitrox system,
01:06:56we're building something special for the future of the gold ship.
01:06:59He's stepping up to the plate.
01:07:01He's, um, he's doing quite well.
01:07:04Surprisingly.
01:07:05Surprised the shit out of me.
01:07:07But, um, right now, um, we got one pony in this rodeo,
01:07:12and that's Richie.
01:07:14We just keep on pushing.
01:07:16That's all we can do.
01:07:24How's that ground so far?
01:07:25You think the nitrox will be happy on this one?
01:07:31Yeah, I believe so.
01:07:33I really like that.
01:07:36Hell yeah, I'd like to hear that.
01:07:39After a rock jam rock Chris McCulley's dive,
01:07:43Robert Wood picks up the slack as he passes the six-hour mark.
01:07:48Time's up.
01:07:50Time's up.
01:07:52Time's up.
01:07:53Time's up.
01:07:58All right, I'm going down.
01:08:00That crew just showed up.
01:08:05That means I'm going to go home.
01:08:12My dive got cut short, but Robert came through.
01:08:15He put in a long dive.
01:08:17Started to build up on the front already.
01:08:19Just imagine what's over here.
01:08:20And it looks like there's a lot more ground left for the night crew.
01:08:24We're the only ones out.
01:08:26Cool.
01:08:28Cool.
01:08:29It's going to be a long night.
01:08:30It's going to be a long night.
01:08:31Let's just get started on this.
01:08:48Start rinsing that out.
01:08:52The crawler is out for the season.
01:08:54Now, the captain will see what gold it squeezed out of its limited time on the water.
01:09:03That's it for this.
01:09:04Pretty much.
01:09:06It hasn't been a ton of hours, but we did manage to get the crawler on good gold a few times.
01:09:13Throw that in the truck.
01:09:14Hopefully, it's enough to put some gold on the scale.
01:09:17I'm looking at the gold. It could look a little better.
01:09:30Not really seeing a lot in here.
01:09:42Okay, here we go.
01:09:44It's not looking that great.
01:09:51There's one.
01:09:52There's one.
01:10:051.15 of an ounce.
01:10:14Oh, my God.
01:10:161.15 ounces is worth 2,900 bucks.
01:10:19It's the Kellys' smallest clean-out of the season.
01:10:23In fact, it's their smallest in years.
01:10:37We got to pay everybody, and we're going to be left with nothing.
01:10:42Yep.
01:10:43Gold mining is filled with highs and lows.
01:10:50One minute, you're on top of the world.
01:10:53The next, you get your heart broken.
01:10:56I thought the crawler was going to change our lives this summer, but we basically made nothing.
01:11:02We're going down the tubes, and I can't let this happen.
01:11:05I don't accept failure very well.
01:11:08I'm a terrible loser.
01:11:09I don't know why I'm so arrogant.
01:11:13I always think I'm going to sail out there and knock it out of the park.
01:11:20On the outskirts of town.
01:11:24Clean-up day, dude.
01:11:26Let's do it, dude.
01:11:28We've been stacking some gold for a while, so I don't think it's going to be too shabby.
01:11:32From boulders.
01:11:34There's gold under these boulders here.
01:11:37Nice.
01:11:38To sand.
01:11:39In your face, good gold. Sick looking.
01:11:42Woohoo!
01:11:44The 10-off crews banked their gold for weeks.
01:11:47Good to go.
01:11:49Now, it's judgment day.
01:11:53It's a nice little pan full of gold, for sure.
01:11:56You can get butterflies in your stomach during an end-of-season clean-out.
01:12:00I'm pretty anxious for the numbers to be good, because I really want everyone to be happy with our clean-up and want to keep working with me.
01:12:08Pouring into the pan.
01:12:13All right.
01:12:15We got two.
01:12:16Three.
01:12:2112.5.
01:12:2827.2.
01:12:3344.8.
01:12:3550.15.
01:12:39Sweet. 56.4.
01:12:41Hey!
01:12:42High five.
01:12:43Sucks about that.
01:12:44No.
01:12:4556.4 ounces is worth a tasty $141,000.
01:12:50And after all the back-breaking work,
01:12:54the 10-off team has a shot at hitting their season goal.
01:13:01Look, these are the hardest ounces I've ever earned.
01:13:05Hands down.
01:13:07This clean-out was great.
01:13:08It's massive.
01:13:09We're still in business.
01:13:10And I always want to push it as long as I can, and I want to push it a little bit longer than the other guys are pushing it.
01:13:16But how many dives can we realistically get in before everything freezes?
01:13:20I'm, like, pleasantly surprised with what happened.
01:13:23I'm not mad at 56 ounces of gold.
01:13:25I'm not mad at it.
01:13:26I'm not mad at it.
01:13:32Well, let me see what in the hell is happening out there in the exciting world of social media today.
01:13:39And now, kick back for another social hour with Vernon.
01:13:47This guy is, I am the Rizzler.
01:13:51Joe Byrne.
01:13:52Need some peeps to up the gold ships?
01:13:55Skitty biz Rizz.
01:13:58Wait a minute.
01:14:00G-B-D Rizz.
01:14:03I slay no cap.
01:14:07No comprendi, Rizzler.
01:14:10You're going to have to give it another try, buddy.
01:14:13This must be some hip-hop type that I'm not familiar with.
01:14:17I mean, I'm old school.
01:14:19Vin Run is dumb.
01:14:21He never get gold.
01:14:23Worst minor on TEH TV.
01:14:25Well, Dave, I don't know, buddy.
01:14:28Unless you can learn how to spell a little bit better than that,
01:14:31I'm going to say you're kind of a dumbass, too.
01:14:33So, welcome to the club.
01:14:36Panama Hat Jack.
01:14:38What is wrong with kids today?
01:14:41I have no idea.
01:14:43You know, back when I was coming up, they said there was something wrong with us also.
01:14:47Back in the 60s, after I got out of the Army, everybody thought I was a friggin' hippie.
01:14:51This has been another Social Hour with Vernon.
01:15:06This one's looking damn good so far.
01:15:09That gold right there is pretty damn juicy.
01:15:12After a relentless push from sunup to midnight,
01:15:16Vernon Atkinson needs a big score in summer's final hours.
01:15:19What we're doing right now, I think it's going to put some smiles on our faces.
01:15:24We will be finding out here pretty damn soon.
01:15:29Scott's lonely heart club, Ben, nearly put us to bed.
01:15:34Love me a golden omelet.
01:15:36But Richie came on like an underwater bulldog and saved the day.
01:15:45Okay, you got that all dried up there, Scott?
01:15:47Yeah, it's all ready to go.
01:15:48All right.
01:15:49I got to see this.
01:15:51Oh boy, that's what's for breakfast.
01:15:55And let's see what we got here.
01:15:56That's two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ten, ten, ten.
01:16:03Over ten!
01:16:04Over ten!
01:16:05Eleven point three.
01:16:06It's a beautiful thing.
01:16:10Eleven point three.
01:16:11It's a beautiful thing.
01:16:12Eleven point three.
01:16:14It's a beautiful thing.
01:16:16Eleven point three ounces rings in at over $28,000, and the Atkinson team ends the day within shooting distance of their goal.
01:16:29I'd say, yeah, we're in the zone.
01:16:30We need to get back out there and get right back down where we were.
01:16:34That was some good ground to work.
01:16:35Considering how wiped out this team is, I'll take it.
01:16:37I just hope we get another bite at the golden apple.
01:16:38And the Atkinson team ends the day within shooting distance of their goal.
01:16:43But that's up to the Bering Sea.
01:16:44If we can get back out there and get on this, I'd say, yeah, we're in the zone.
01:16:50We need to get back out there and get right back down where we were.
01:16:57That was some good ground to work.
01:17:00Considering how wiped out this team is, I'll take it.
01:17:04I just hope we get another bite at the golden apple.
01:17:08But that's up to the Bering Sea.
01:17:10If we can get back out there and get on this, it'll be yippee-ki-yay.
01:17:19Across town.
01:17:22Still getting the goal done.
01:17:25It feels pretty hefty.
01:17:28After another round-the-clock grind, the McCulley crew is ready to witness the fruits of the full team's labor.
01:17:37It's really hot.
01:17:38It really sucks that I didn't have the crawler this summer.
01:17:43But I know I got us on really good ground.
01:17:47So I want to see at least 50 ounces for all the dives that we put in.
01:17:52Okay, here we go.
01:17:54There's 2, 4, 6, 8, 18, 21, 25, 27, 30, 33.1.
01:18:1733.1 ounces is worth a substantial 82 grand.
01:18:27But that's less than the captain hoped to see on the scale.
01:18:30And Chris McCulley's days of domination could be coming to an end.
01:18:39Tomorrow we'll get fuel.
01:18:40We'll fuel up the dredge again.
01:18:42And then after that, I don't know what's going to happen after that.
01:18:44Everybody busted their ass on this one.
01:18:48But it wasn't much as I expected.
01:18:51But I'm not giving up.
01:18:53If we can get another day out there, maybe we can pull this off.
01:18:57Good job, guys. Good job.
01:18:58Good job, guys. Good job.
01:19:00Let's keep it up.
01:19:07On the outskirts of Nome.
01:19:11We're going to check the box, see what it looks like.
01:19:15Is it getting any better, Jesse?
01:19:18Good.
01:19:20After tapping into a sweet spot on the pastry,
01:19:24Mr. Gold needs the scale to make some sweet music, too.
01:19:28It looks pretty thick.
01:19:31Looks good.
01:19:33It's taking us all season, but I'm finally starting to see the kind of gold we've been waiting for.
01:19:41This is legendary gold.
01:19:43This is what the old timers were after, but didn't get.
01:19:48I think it's just going to get better from here on out.
01:19:52Back on track.
01:19:54If we see 150 ounces, that tells me this gold's as good as we've seen all season.
01:20:00This should be a big number. It's heavy.
01:20:06I don't know if I can lift it. I'm kind of weak.
01:20:10It looks good.
01:20:12Oh.
01:20:13That's a pile.
01:20:14It should be. Let's see some big numbers, baby.
01:20:24Come on.
01:20:25Nothing but big numbers.
01:20:27Ready?
01:20:28Yep.
01:20:35There's five.
01:20:3720.
01:20:3830.
01:20:3940.
01:20:4050.
01:20:4160.
01:20:4270.
01:20:4380.
01:20:4490.
01:20:45100.
01:20:4610.
01:20:4720.
01:20:4830.
01:20:4940.
01:20:5050.
01:20:55156.
01:20:56No .
01:21:00156 ounces is worth a gargantuan $390,000, Sean's biggest clean-out of the season.
01:21:08Nice job.
01:21:09Nice job, George.
01:21:10Proving that Mr. Gold is not ready to let his summer run cold.
01:21:22Hell yeah.
01:21:23Nice job, Jesse.
01:21:26This is what I've been after.
01:21:29But I'm running out of time.
01:21:33Come on, go get more.
01:21:37A bunch more.
01:21:40If I don't hit my mark, my fate's in Dave's hands.
01:21:44So my future here and everything's up in the air.
01:21:53Next time on the season finale of Bering Sea Gold.
01:21:58We got every ounce we could get.
01:22:00So what do you say?
01:22:01I'm fired?
01:22:02It's the end.
01:22:03Harbor's freezing.
01:22:04Everything's going to .
01:22:05But we're going to cast off and go get one more day's gold.
01:22:07We will grind it out till the bitter end.
01:22:09Are you seeing gold?
01:22:10Negative.
01:22:11Negative.
01:22:12The only thing standing between us and gold right now is you.
01:22:16One more dive.
01:22:17Sucking it up as quick as we can.
01:22:18Gotta make every bit of this day count.
01:22:19Gotta hustle.
01:22:20Time is funny.
01:22:21Something's wrong.
01:22:23The wheel's not hurting.
01:22:29We're doing everything we can to make it happen.
01:22:35Just hoping it's not too late.
01:22:38I'm going to keep it up.
01:22:40Hold on.
01:22:42That's where we're at.
01:22:43The field's not burning!
01:22:45Ah!
01:22:46We're doing everything we can to make it happen.
01:22:49This moment it's not too late.
01:22:51I'm gonna keep pushing.
01:22:53It's time to separate the men from the boys.
01:22:56Look at that 300 feet that's right across.
01:22:59Which is very tricky.
01:23:02The conditions are really bad.
01:23:07You okay?
01:23:09No!
