Bering Sea Gold

It's a group of ragtag group of miners who are trying to find gold off shores off Nome, Alaska. There are the Pomrenkes father and son team who has a massive dredge. Scott Meisterheim is a perpetually angry drunk. Zeke Tenhoff is an obsessed driven young guy. Steve Riedel is the flake with her opera singer daughter Emily who is an amateur in this whole thing. While Vernon Adkison is an old guy who spends more money than he makes.

What I love about this show is two folds. I love the amateur and in many case experimental jerry-rigged equipment. There is no standard equipment for this type of work, and there's more duct tape than reasonably safe boats should have. I find the home grown science absolutely fascinating. The other is the distressed relationships of these people. There are some crazy personalities in this show. The only drawback like all 'reality' show is any faking. I can see some fudging going on especially with the money being discussed. The fact that so many of them do so badly seems to point to limited padding of the results. As for the dysfunctional relationship, the death of one of the divers also point to limited faking. It doesn't mean that something isn't being faked. 'Reality' isn't always reality nowadays.

Every episode is the same stuff. Repetition of the same footage over and over and over and over and over again. Flashbacks and "now on's" every other minute. For some reason the makers must think I am stupid to fall for these fillers. Well, I might have been, but not any more. Goodbye.

Was great to watch but this last season has become silly, same views as others I fast forward the silly bits, producers are now killing what was a good series.

Love this show, enough to sign into IMDb and leave a review for the first time.

Bering Sea Gold features real life gold miners with a difference - dredging the ocean floor for gold, from home made punts (small boats) and super dodgy equipment.

Better than Gold Rush Alaska, Black Gold and Deadliest Catch. If you're into these kind of reality "man" shows, you will rate this highly.

Only up to episode 2 and it's got great story telling, actually quite suspenseful in parts, real characters from all walks of life and operating all sorts of equipment.

It's very similar to Gold Rush Alaska but has better content.

Editing is good, not a lot of that American "fast forward/rewind" technique like in Gold Rush & Dr. Phil...

Give it a crack and rate it. Easily a 8-9 for me.

We are amazed that you have ruined this show with the most irritating pair of father and daughter morons, slappable ,pretentious, hard to look at or listen to, ferret faced, big beaked worst excuse for entertainment possible jerk offs!!!
