Bering Sea Gold: Season 9
New Season for Bering Sea Gold
Bering Sea Gold is a
reality television series set in
Nome, Alaska, on
Norton Sound, that airs on
Discovery Channel. It is from the creators of the
Deadliest Catch reality TV show.
The show follows boats equipped with various setups to achieve gold
mining in a summertime, cold northern latitude, shallow water, ocean
environment. The fleet each typically consists of a
sluicing apparatus, a means of
paydirt collection (
dredge),
and a cold-water-diving life support system. Conflict issues include
choppy seas, poor underwater visibility, inconsistent fuel delivery,
personnel issues, mining location rights, sufficient paydirt discovery,
diver safety, and ocean-damaging equipment failures. Each season of
episodes follow the current fleet of dredges.
The show is divided into the summer dredging season (aired in the spring), under the title
Bering Sea Gold, and the spring dredging season (aired in the fall), under the title
Bering Sea Gold: Under The Ice.
For the first three seasons, this distinction held, in the 2015 4th
season of the spring ice dredging season, the title card changed to
"Bering Sea Gold", making the title identical to the original summer
dredging season show. This continued with the 2016 5th seasons.
