Punches are thrown
In Season 6, no one takes bigger risks than the Pomrenke family. Shawn, a.k.a. Mr. Gold, ventures 100 miles to an unproven claim at "The Bluff" while his father sinks the family fortune into a new inland mining operation. Meanwhile, despite owning her own dredge, The Eroica, Emily Riedel has trouble scrounging up a crew. Her former flame Zeke Tenhoff would rather mine for a large corporation than spend one more season on the water with Emily.
On the Reaper, Brad Kelly has big plans to strike it rich by purchasing 40 acres of off-shore claims, but first needs to convince his sons to bury the hatchet and rejoin the family business.
Meanwhile, Vernon Adkison feels pressure from investors when he struggles to find a ship to launch his "golden seahorse," and veteran miner Derek McLarty spends every penny he has to join the ranks as captain of his own brand new, guitar-shaped dredge: the High Noon.
"Bering Sea Gold" returns Wednesday, March 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery.
Honestly, the Pomreneke family is the highlight of this show for me. The efficiency and business wits they have are a great lesson for everyone watching, especially the other miners!
ReplyDeleteEveryone else is so dysfunctional and make the absolute poorest of decisions. It's as if the producers are purposely balancing the best of the worst so as not to encourage us viewers from getting the wrong idea that we can go to Nome and do this.
