Bering Sea Gold-Season 1

For a fraction of the cost, people in home-made dredges are getting 100 - 1000 ounces of gold per season by dredging shallow waters off Nome Alaska. My first thought was: Why didn't Todd Hoffman get himself setup with a home-made dredge?This show has all of the human drama that Gold rush has. I love it !!

Ok

This was an interesting show. I chose this because I love Gold Rush and had heard of another Alaska Gold show. Wow, there is definetly a difference in the two programs. I gave this program 3 stars because at times I found myself really angry with the people and it was making my life miserable. If you enjoy watching a dumb _ _ _ screaming at the people that are trying to help you, then you'd like it. This program shows several different groups of people using a "diving" method of a what I'd call a "duck taped" piece of wood or metal "1/2 put together" crap boat. They dive down into the Bering Sea and use a powerful hose to suck up dirt, rocks and gold. I am impressed however with all the gold that they bring up versus the TV show Gold Rush. Some of these guys are getting amounts of gold in a DAY'S work, compared to the amount of all the gold that's found in ONE Season on Gold Rush. These are definetly desperate people that don't have any quams about trying to "get rich quick." This show films several groups of people; a father and son team, that are the only ones that actually have one of the nicest boats. they have an actual excavator on the boat to dig for gold and run it through their sluice boxes. This team seems to get the most gold, but with all their equipment they have, they apparently have a ton of debt to pay off first. Then you have this idiot guy who can not get along with anyone. At the end of the show, the man that fronted the boat and equipment for this guy ends up FINALLY firing him and they actually get into a fight on the last show. The others are a young man and women, the women of which doesn't know much about diving and freaks out every time, obviously not getting much work done. And you find out that this other "excentric" guy that works only when he wants to, is this girls father. Yikes, some crazy people. All in all, the good and the bad keep you wanting to watch it to see how much gold these people can get. But at the same time if you can laugh off all the fighting and bleeped out (every other) words without getting frustrated and wanting to reach through the TV to strangle some of these people, then this is the show for you! Sorry can't recommend it to anyone unless you enjoy this kind of stuff.

Bering Sea Gold Season 1 I Love adventure reality--gold, diamonds, minerals. Will watch again first chance I get. I plod along at an unrewarding job, the idea that you could go to work broke and come home rich really catches my imagination.

I liked this series when it was on TV, then it suddenly disappeared. The only downside is that it's only in SD. Any versions available in HD?

Great show! Gold fever baby! Scott M. is a train wreck! Hey Scott, tell us again how you'd like to punch someone in the face! Yes, good show! lol

I live in Alaska and thought I might enjoy it. I did not. The events and people may be real but the people are being paid and that means that they agree to have their lives exploited. That part is difficult to watch.

5 stars for another great reality showI find this show thrilling and also a bit DangerousI like the Gold that they recover, would highly recommend this show.

as expected
