Bering Sea Gold

[MuleShack]

Now before I get into my question, just wanted to preface it with a few facts.

Yes this show is full of drama and dumb a$$es, and that I only watch it on DVR so I can fast forward thru the drama and stupid stuff. I just like seeing how much gold the big barge outfit gets each time.

Ok, If there are any others out there that watch this show, I thought that last year the christine rose paid big bucks to get on a lucrative claim. So why is it that this other barge can be digging 200 yards away from them? Either there are holes in the story, or they are working together?

Just curious.

Yeah, it's a fun show to watch at times but I have learned that with all of these shows the less you ask and the less you think about things, the better they are and the more sense they make

I like the Bering See Gold show better than Gold Rush right now. It seems a bit more realistic than Gold Rush and has more average Joe's looking for gold. As far as Gold Rush goes I will watch Parkers segments and the Kahoon Creek segments but fast forward through the Hoffmans stuff. The Hoffmans toubles sure seem way too made up most of the time (they always have multiple camera angles of each disaster) and each disaster is a "this might send us home issue" and then it always ends with a miricle recovery or fix.

I like both of these shows. I also liked Bering Sea Gold Under Ice.

I like the different methods they use. Why can't there be an all woman crew? That would get better ratings.

[mrklean]

I would like to know how much these people get paid to be on the show since most cant catch any gold yet they are in debt and have there life savings into it but yet they keep coming back...Vern, Scott, and Steve

[minky]

plus 1 for an all women crew!

I bet there would be a little drama on their barge.

Maybe give the guys a run for their money!

In reality the gold claims are bought,They do have boundries.Just like land where the boundries can be steaked out,they have the same on the water GPS now days.Remember last year where the guy who was employing the girl.I dont remember names.But they were sued by a unknown woman I believe for mining her clain.Its a line but to define it on the water must be tough!

[Black_Bay]

My bet is they are holding on to their claims and working the community ones until they are played to the point that it's too expensive to dredge there.

Yeah. Does anyone remember at the end of season 1 when they had the first ever claim auction for areas on the water? During and prior to season 1 there was no claims or boundaries to watch out for.

Some lady was at the auction (I think Season 1 Episode 8, "The Bitter End") buying up all the claims? Could have been that lady?

It would seem that they are making more money from the show than mining gold.

The Gal was allegedly broke, and then she is driving a newer truck....hmmm

A birdie told me they come close to losing money. He said the amt. of time the producers waste getting the perfect shots and the "do that again" translate to a lot of lost productivity. He even said the Gag Orders they are under almost make it not worth it. Yet, they are back this season.

I WAS looking threw adds in north Dakota Craigs list for operators &

THE producers of these shows had a add for heavy equipment operators

and gold miners So for the fun of it I answered it as I have done alot of crushing and washing and that's basically what they do

A pit I worked in deerwood every now and then we would find a speck of gold

I heard back in a few days and they want more info like where I lived age

pictures and time zone so I sent it all ,but havnt heard no more

pictues probably scared them off....lol or to old

[minky]

We could have a star in the making!

You don't need a middle aged welder to carry your bags if you get the job, do you?

Anyways,good luck and keeps us posted.

I think the owners of the Christine Rose barge with the trackhoe are originally from MN.

[gregg52]

that last show I saw I think chistine was close to million for the year

they took about 140k and were going to get a new back hoe

but they must have traded theirs in cuz 140k dont buy a new one thats for sure

But I like the guy operating that hoe ,, he's got some kauhna's ...lol

out in that rolling water...lol...on the last show I saw

[fishingstar]

the Pomrenkes are from Minnesota not sheer if it is pine river or pinr city.

[mrklean]

I thought it was Royalton but non the less its around the Brainerd area someplace

[panski master]

Steve Pomrenke has a place near Royalton, mn. As for the claims bought at the auction I'm not quite sure. If I were a betting man I would say they are mining on other peoples claims who don't the have equipment to mine and pay them a percentage. When thats all mined they would mine their claim. Thats what I would do... If I remember right at the auction the claims they bought were good for 10 years or 50 years.
