- In this episode we get our hot gold spot stolen by another dredge. And to make matters worse, we discover some critical failures in our suction system that could be losing us gold. But we mine on, scraping a few more ounces up off the ocean floor, hunting for the motherlode.

"ISN'T IT ILLEGAL FOR ANOTHER MINER TO JUMP YOUR CLAIM??"
This is the most common question I get when it comes to competition with other dredges. We work on what's called a "competitive lease" meaning the Eroica and a few other operations are permitted to work the ground.
There's only 1 rule: You can't mine too close to any operation that's anchored down.
No one can lay claim to any section of ground for themselves. If there's open water, you can set anchor and have at it, even if another operation just left. If your spot gets jumped, which happens all the time, your only options are to find gold elsewhere, or to wait for the dredge to go back in and jump it back.
And if you want to learn more about the business of gold dredging in the Bering Sea, why not sign up for our weekly newsletter? Every Thursday we send live updates about the operation, the crew, and insights about how the business works you'll only get from an insider. Sign up here: creative-leader-320.ck.page/b5a7f7317d
The Solution
Night shift early worms
Best type of tide
Ahoy Captain Emily
Avast Bail Out Grub
The scene you open up The Eroica Café on the water for the crews of the dredges to use
Pay by Gold
Hmm, There's money in Boat snacks dont ya know Emily
Them thur divers and restless deckhand get hungered to the bone
Just a thought when the Gold isn't happening..
The news letter is a great perk
Thank you for the answer to my question. I didn't see a "competitive lease" option on the DNR site. I know you have a small crew and double shifts are rare due to the ever changing conditions. It makes sense that when another dredge sees you working the same anchorage day after day that they would want to jump your spot.
Your approach to offshore gold mining is fantastic. How you're measuring each aspect of your work, and analyzing it, to find what is working and what is not, is fantastic. Finding productive work in sand? Great, do that! The scientific method, obvs in its barest form, but still, to "get it done", is nice to see - compared to the haphazard way this appears to have been done before. I look forward to every new video you put out, thank you for letting us in to this world!
Got to hand it to my husband and this current crew they really started taking measurement and tracking more seriously and doing the hard work of cleaning and panning top boxes more often. Thanks so much for watching we're glad you're along on the journey!
Another great episode, so happy to be able to follow along
Thank you Miss Emily and to your crew. We would have no idea if it wasn't for you! You rock and good luck on the gold harvest this year! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Ted!
Love your series. Keep it up Emily and crew! Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
Thanks Ruff Rider we will!
I just binge watched all these episodes of the last 2 days. I kept wondering why the show wasn't airing. Thank you for doing this. Ive had a CZcams channel for my job for the last 4.5 years and when you talked about the struggles of doing this on your own, it really resonated with me. You guys are doing awesome with the filming, the camera work, and the storytelling. Keep up the good work!
I love the nap time celebration whispers!
Thanks for making these videos ❤ this is definitely the best series I'm watching on CZcams 👍👍
That's so awesome thank you James! Appreciate you watching!
The camera shots and editing are better than the old show!
Hey thanks! We're getting better as we go along here
The editing and music in your videos is just getting better each time. Who needs the BSG crew.
Great video as always!! look forward to this every Saturday!!! Great Job!!
Gata say I love your channel. Beautiful lady that's not afraid of hard work
You guys are doing great. On every level. I continue to appreciate what you are creating. Rarely, I wish to be younger. This is one of those times! Go for the Gold Emily and crew.....and Emily, dont forget ...you got this!
I just love this video, and so many others, one of my favorite series. Thank you guys.
We love to hear it you're welcome DoubleD!
thanks for bring us along, enjoy your lifestyle
Looking forward to this one! Thank you for the video, Emily!
You're welcome!
Great and success, I see for your crew and your family🤠👌💐🇵🇷
Your production, editing, and camera shots are on point. Love it......Big 👍👍!!!
Thank you so much!
Watching you n your Hubby work for the future is excellent
Can we send "Boat Snacks" for Dan to taste-test on camera? I love this mini-series.
YES
Boat snacks rocks!!! 🥌🍎
It might be a year before you see the snacks on video.
Way more entertaining then any of the gold shows. Good job. 👍
I think that Emily has been a grounded gold miner. No drama no dock fights, consistency and good sense. That does not make good "reality" TV. Crazy people who cannot control themselves, people who go somewhere they are not welcome and get shot at, a fist fight on the dock, drama every hour with yelling and screaming. Family fights, equipment disasters stemming from just bad ideas and worse execution. That is what the goofs on a network look for. They fail to realize that many people are actually interested in the process of gold mining on the Bering Sea.
Another great episode 👏
What is schedule for BSG? Hard to track airings of show. Wishing you much success in 2024! Hope Jane visits again
GOOD JOB!
Thanks guys , yet again another great little episode . Loving your work keep it up xx
No way I caught this video 4sec after launch lol thanks guys love your content 👍😉
Speedy! Thanks so much!
Another Great vid..Thankyou CREW.. Thankyou EMILY...Love the content..!!
Thank you David!
Well done Emily and crew another great show keep them coming
Thanks Emily and Alex for the episode get that gold!!! Hope this season does you guys well!!🤟😎
Thanks Marty!
Another great episode y'all
HI Emily...On one of your videos you recommended getting a dream mat for your gold cube..So I did ..
I've processed about 6 lbs of pay and recovered 10 grams of gold with it ..Nothing made it passed the dream mat !
It works GREAT and is so much easier to clean than the gold cube mats !! Thank You for the Tip and keep mining !
Did I mention...IT WORKS GREAT ! And THANKS !
Sweet! Never going back we might try to get some for the dredge
My great great grandfather left Maine for the Klondike with 3000 lbs of potatoes because the miners were dying of scurvy. He traded a pound of gold for a pound of potatoes. He had two wagons and 12 oxen. He was almost four years gone and came back home with a ton and a half of gold
Whaaaaa?? Awesome!
I enjoy this way more then the distcovery channel show
Emily you are awesome and your crew is. Awsome too ❤
WELL, YURT BOY CRIES A LOT.
Great job all around fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠💪⛏️🏔️🇺🇲🦅
Yes! A new episode!!!
Watched this whole channel in the last 24hrs, just incredible stuff. Only problem now is, I have to wait for the next episode 😂
Awesome! Welcome aboard!
Jimmy always did good in the sand. 10 inch is critical in sand. More work to prep your hole but most people run from the "sand". Great job guys
Hello Emily from Tashkent ,I saw your many videos, i wish you luck and health in your life
OMG the Ali stance had me giggling! Well done.
Haha glad you caught that!!
The boat snacks part was hilarious, good stuff lol!
I know!
That's no good, losing your material outta of your flare. I know all dredges take a beating from the bering sea every time the weather turns bad. At least you found the damage and didn't keep running and losing more fold then was already lost. Nice job on making your videos Emily! Gold luck to you and your husband and crew!!! Lol
Probably will sound silly but if it was my boat I would have a different kind of anchors.
I would have a big plastic container, the size of an oil barrel and a rope to pull it and a hose to pump water to the barrel and from it. When its outside, its empty and "lite" and when its underwater, it fills will water and its heavy.
I think this way the boat wouldn't move. I know it would give a lot of work but I think its feasible.
Looks like it's time to have some JB Weld on hand!! I cracked the oil crankcase on my Honda 750 in Wasilla years ago and that stuff repaired it and lasted for a couple years.
Good stuff Emily. 👍👍👍🤑🤑
This is about my favorite channel! Anyway get daily vids? Hate waiting a week!😢
I wish! Way too hard to do daily vids. But we are moving into longer videos (I think this is our last "short" one) and will try our best to make as many as possible!
Nice clean up
💓
Great video team👊
SHALOM 🙌
Quality of your videos has gotten so much better. You are evolving nicely. I'm glad you didn't quit. Your work ethic is inspiring.
Way Cool.👍
Waiting on boat snacks part 2😂😂
Nice fancy graphics! Discovery got nothing on you guys, noooo! Great episode 😊
Another excellent episode
Thanks Jeff!
I liked pilot Bread when I worked my parents Mining operations in the Brooks Range,Artic Circle Alaska 82-87, I ate quite a bit ❤
Love watching the Eroica’s exploits! Stay on the gold, keep doing the Gold YoGa 😆, and may 2024 be your best season yet! Oh, and (shhh🤫!>>): “catfish!”
👍🇺🇸⛏️💯☠️ Enjoy watching hope the sand was hot!!!
More cold More GOLD ~ Steve Riedel
🤣 cold equals gold!!
One thing I have noticed over the years, the pros who get the gold do the unpleasant things like digging in, around, and under those big boulders when they find it's hot. Others might look for easier ground, and not make the money.
Sometimes easy's the right choice, sometimes hard is. You just have to keep digging, find the right stuff, and stay after it until it's gone
Yay love a new episode…. Was good to watch but dredge wars is never good. You should take Super soakers for next time 🤣
Looking forward for the next episode and the next clean up.
Why are your underwater cams better than Discoverys cams?
Because discovery was more concerned about fake drama breakdowns and freeze ups
Hi Emily, That got me to my bookshelf and pull out my old book from art school marketing 1992.
A Whack on the side of the head - Roger Von Oech
Have Something at Stake
A frozen-fish processor had trouble selling a new line of frozen fish because it tasted “flat”. The company tried to keep the fish fresh including holding them in tanks until just before processing - but to no avail. Then someone suggested: ‘Put a predator in there with them-that should keep them fresh”. This idea worked like a charm. The fish kept moving and retained their vitality. Moral: have something at stake-survival, self-esteem, money, reputation-so that you’ll be motivated to make your idea successful. What do you have at stake?
keep some Flex seal tape handy,, LOL
Gotta complement ya on your video production and editing. Best of luck!
Thanks Bruce!
Snacks for Dan!
Ok i just thought we sleeve pipe all the time with a poly liner. Sewer pipe high pressure gas lines. If its pipe it can be lined. Not a permenent solution but it gets you to September ❤
Love the show ! Here's an algorithm comment for your troubles 😂
Ha thank you kindly
Never had a problem eating a whole box of Cheez-Its.
Which is why they're not allowed in my house anymore.
Are you using side scan like Shawn to locate cobble where gold rests?
Awesome gold, impossible to find anything even close to that here 🙂
No shipping to Sweden when I type in my address so no way to buy anything from your shop.
Putting Discovery out of a job, good for you
You're cleaning up
The martian 🤠👌🇵🇷
do you ever see any fish or crabs or whales?
Question if I had to get a equipment up there,how would one do it 😊 yeah, I’m coming from Chicago
How much does that big bag of jerky cost in Nome?
👍
Hi Emily, how's your father going
Boat snacks … 🙂…. Beware of died apricots ……..😳😑 😯 🥴😁
what if you use a 500 lbs concrete anchor?
lol! Sure. Go ahead.
Use stainless steel, it much more durable or aluminum thick
So all of this happened last year?
Yeah, summer season 2023.
❤👍🇺🇸
Why are the videos from almost a year ago?
kinda short epp. now another 14 days? =/
I thought Emily had bought a claim from the state?
She was outbid in 2020. Vern ended up with about 10 claims.
@@voidagent I love how Vern claims he has the best claims in Nome but still can’t break even.
@@timthompson8297 A lot has changed there in the past two years. He was referring to his individual mining effort. He has subleased all those claims for 20% royalty subleases. That is what Emily is doing, subleasing a claim somebody else owns, paying a 20% royalty.
need more vids from you emily,,,, great stuff
You will make 10 X more money if you up load 5 videos a week,15 minutes long,you will get more sponsored advertisers,sell more murch & make Hugh profit,grow your channel
Being happy in what you do for a living is more important than more money for some people. The time recording, editing and creating content literally transforms one from a gold diver to media person.
@@id10t98 indeed recording there gold recovery process & up load it to CZcams dose take time & effort but it is very profitable,they
will you accept crypto for your paydirt?
How is your dad doing ?
