Episode synopsis
In summer of 2023, for the first time in over a decade, the production company did not shoot Bering Sea Gold for Discovery. So I lost my job. On top of losing my job I had to make an emergency $100,000 upgrade to the dredge and work with a completely inexperienced crew. We decided it would be a huge shame for you to miss the highs, the lows, and the general chaos that ensued. So we picked up the camera and filmed the season our way.
