Bering Sea Gold

We are amazed that you have ruined this show with the most irritating pair of father and daughter morons, slappable ,pretentious, hard to look at or listen to, ferret faced, big beaked worst excuse for entertainment possible jerk offs!!!

It's a group of ragtag group of miners who are trying to find gold off shores off Nome, Alaska. There are the Pomrenkes father and son team who has a massive dredge. Scott Meisterheim is a perpetually angry drunk. Zeke Tenhoff is an obsessed driven young guy. Steve Riedel is the flake with her opera singer daughter Emily who is an amateur in this whole thing. While Vernon Adkison is an old guy who spends more money than he makes.

What I love about this show is two folds. I love the amateur and in many case experimental jerry-rigged equipment. There is no standard equipment for this type of work, and there's more duct tape than reasonably safe boats should have. I find the home grown science absolutely fascinating. The other is the distressed relationships of these people. There are some crazy personalities in this show. The only drawback like all 'reality' show is any faking. I can see some fudging going on especially with the money being discussed. The fact that so many of them do so badly seems to point to limited padding of the results. As for the dysfunctional relationship, the death of one of the divers also point to limited faking. It doesn't mean that something isn't being faked. 'Reality' isn't always reality nowadays.

I really enjoyed this show. With all shows like this, drama is scripted in. For the most part, this show is realistic. The characters are rough, tough, high tempered individuals all looking to get that gold fix. The directors took time to share the stories (whether they were real or fake) of the characters. One of the better shows on gold mining I've seen. I also really enjoyed the camera angles that took you into the ocean right with the characters. If you want to learn about how gold dredging works, this is a great informative, but dramatized show. I would definitely recommend watching this, but don't expect it to be the best show in the world because it's definitely not.

The Kelly's have no clue how to run a successful business , karma will get you every time , grifters. They need to be barred from doing business in nome I can't believe they have not been run out of town by now most communities in this country would not put up with them you can spot their grift fro a mile away they think they are gonna fake it til they make it but ain't gonna happen , it's like watching the tax and wily coyote chase each other trying to get gold in the process , @#$& &$#@ man old man get it together boys and leave the pomeenkes alone you can't steal there knowledge and expertise that is earned through sweat equity boys.

Love this show, enough to sign into IMDb and leave a review for the first time.

Bering Sea Gold features real life gold miners with a difference - dredging the ocean floor for gold, from home made punts (small boats) and super dodgy equipment.

Better than Gold Rush Alaska, Black Gold and Deadliest Catch. If you're into these kind of reality "man" shows, you will rate this highly.

Only up to episode 2 and it's got great story telling, actually quite suspenseful in parts, real characters from all walks of life and operating all sorts of equipment.

It's very similar to Gold Rush Alaska but has better content.

Editing is good, not a lot of that American "fast forward/rewind" technique like in Gold Rush & Dr. Phil...

Give it a crack and rate it. Easily a 8-9 for me.
