Dredging a Gold-Rich "Quartz Vein" Under Alaska's Bering Sea | 1 OZT AN HOUR
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2024
- After we dried and weighed all our gold in the previous episode, and checked the weight of each top mat against our dive calendar and GPS coordinates, we found out Dan and David had a night shift on one particularly gold-rich "quartz vein" that was paying about an ounce an hour.
What's interesting about this type of ground is it's not something the divers can see easily. There was a lot of silt and deep sand concealing a rich pay layer, and if we never check each individual top box we never would have found it.
But, as always, it's not always as easy as just going out and setting anchor and getting underwater. We have to battle bad dive visibility after the storm, ripping currents, strong winds and waves all while getting our new diver Ross on the mask for the first time.

Y’all are killing it out there! And you’re doing it right! Erotica has some good smart divers 👏👏👏
*Sweet I love gold lol goldfever.*
looking healthy
I miss the Tv show so much
It was with German Audio
I watched them all so far. I actually like your videos better that bearing sea gold videos because I do not have to watch the idiot kelly boys and you do not insert BS drama into the videos. Great job.
I love these videos. Excellent production quality and fun to watch
Thank you Terry!
Emily, I like your TH-cam production better than the BSG production. None of the nonsense and BS drama. Keep the vids coming.
I love how Emily never gives up. I've seen the series way back with all the hardships, setbacks and disappointments. She's stilll at it and she's one of the die-hard, never give-up women that will eventually be super-successful.
I like it too but remember emily is nothing without the men helping her. We all remember when she was banging zeke and failed miserably at diving herself. Cry girl power all you want it’s the men get the job done everytime.
Really? What the hell does she do besides talk and not do any diving or any underwater challenge at all? HOLY SHIT get a grip as she’s just a mouthpiece with no skill
I'm so happy you made this series. I've rooted for you guys since the first time I saw you on BSG.
Will you be returning for future seasons?
Thanks Adam! I don't know! The production and cast are all season-by-season - there are no guarantees of anything. The only thing I know is BSG will be on the air again!
Hi Emily, I really enjoy your videos. I was stationed in Alaska years ago as an Army Aviator, and I never, ever got tired of the scenery. But as beautiful as it was, your uploads are a reminder it was equally and unforgivingly dangerous. Thank you and I look forward to each video of your adventures
I love this series. So much better than the tv series.
High compliment - thanks Phil!
Hey, I bet theres gold deep in ocean crevaces. anchient gold, but it would be extensive to get it up and out of the depths. I think instead of pumping it, an rov collector could mine it or scout it, or a crane claw can collect large amount. idk, i thought about it, and it would make sense, if gold never dissolves in sea water... It would accumulate in the deep trenches, however also same goes for land and shallow sea deposits, the banks after land shedding would also accumulate, they are like inverses, or gravitational stages, related to and of each other, but still it, deeeeep sea, is credible because of the weight and gravity and time concept. Youre pretty cool emily, hahaha, have a good season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@TheEmilyRiedel
LFG! top quality editing! feels just like bering sea gold!
Thanks! The editors do a great job
@@TheEmilyRiedel I feel like the music is too loud/often. Maybe it's just me but either way I love the videos!
great video Emily and crew, gets better every episode. I look forward to next Saturday. Hoping the weather gets better for you to put in a full day dredging.
Let's Go Team! I Love this series! I'm living vicariously through you all. Pile it up!
Thanks so much John!
Yay! its Sat and a new vid drop from Emily and the crew!
And to think they said Saturdays couldn't get any better
Good job guys. Just wish these vids were longer. My fav part of the show was always the gold clean ups at the end.
Another great video; I'm looking forward to next Saturday.
Know this:
You do it better than the 'TV company'.
Kudos and best of luck!
High compliments! Thanks for watching Matt!
Another great instalment Emily. Really enjoyed the content and edit. Thank you to you and the team
Thank you so much for watching and saying hi!
right on! Heavy pans! Lovin` the adventure!
I love watching your updates and with the filming,editing etc I can imagine a lot of pressure on your shoulders but one things for sure the only thing I can definitely say in my 57 years on earth is work hard and never give up eventually you’ll get everything you want and I can see it beginning to happen for yous - best of luck to yous all❤️💚👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks so much for the encouragement! It's always welcome
These videos get better and better narration and all
Great shit girl, keep pumpin sis
Thank you much! Try to improve a bit every week
yahoo! always enjoy your videos and wish great gold success
Thanks a million Jennifer! Much love!
Thanks
Why not attach a battery powered light on the handle of the hose for better light?
Nozzle sees a lot of action down there. It's better on the diver's head so he has light wherever he's looking and it stays out of harm's way
The box looks good. I hope you git out there on that hot spot. See you next week.
Sure does! We do everything in our power
For people that have never dove before. Work diving isn't like recreational diving, a few hours fighting a current takes the energy completely out of you. When you surface you are completely spent. Great job to and your crew Emily.
Good job guys! Be safe out there. Low visibility water can give you vertigo. A very crazy thing. Follow safety protocols and all will be well.
Can also give you the dark and scaries! We do what we can
I dive in bad visibility conditions a lot. Never had vertigo but it def ain’t no fun!!!
Hi Emily, ive been watching gold shows for years and years. I just love how real and raw this is. Its obvious you have made a plan for this seasons shoot and i just wanna say you nailed it. Keep it up! ❤ from Australian tropics
Love All your videos, brings back memories of when I worked for my Parents Mining operations on the South Fork Koyukuk, in the Brooks Range, 158 miles north of the Artic circle, Alaska 1982-88
That's hardcore! Your folks must be very tough people
Bearing Sea Pay Dirt is so very cool; I love the Logo Artwork too. It would be fun to bury a few bags of the nugs in the garden this spring for working the gold machine. I'd pan it out first and put each nugget in a cellophane tape wrap.
It must feel great having the gold location pinned, just dreaming about how much is down there and knowing your going to get it.
Thanks so much! Send pictures if you do that - sounds awesome
ya this!
Is it true one year a spot can be loaded with gold, you mine it all out and the next year the same spot is again fill with new gold from underground sea currents? Or is it once its mined its pretty much a dead spot forever?
Good question! It's a little bit complicated. First, we see no evidence that a spot re-concentrates significant amounts of gold in the course of a year, or even 10. Maybe 100 years? Must eventually. That said, just because you dredged a spot doesn't mean it isn't worth going back to. We are vacuuming up the gold so slowly and so imprecisely that often you go back and pick up the trail in another direction
Congrats on the 200K subs Em.
This is like the good parts of the TV show with all the chaff edited out. Much better as a YT channel!
We had a small homemade pontoon houseboat on the Sabine River in NW Louisiana with a gas stove, two cots, back porch, bathroom, with a trap door in the center of the room between the cots. It had a little battery powered TV. We`d sit on the cots and fish for crappie perch through the trap door in winter. I took my friend Tim fishing in 1988 but when we got there it was pouring rain all day. I baited a rod n reel for catfish and cast way out in the current in the middle of the river from the back porch. Within 5 minutes I caught a catfish over 8 pounds. The grease was heating up to fry it as I cleaned it. A terrifying UFO encounter in 1999 with over 6 hours of missing time ended my fishing there. I moved.
Damn I live in NW Louisiana. UFO story makes me nervous
My nerves never recovered. I bought a tent over three years ago just to try to get up the nerve to "practice" camping again in the woods by my yard and haven`t. My mailbox is over 600 feet up my driveway and I don`t feel safe walking to get mail. When these things appear it`s shocking. You don`t see them coming. They move too fast. My brother and I had over 3 hours missing in 1973 here in central Louisiana after a blue glowing orb hovered over the truck. By 1987 it was so bad at that home that we sold it and moved to NW Louisiana but whatever these things are they followed me. I don`t know what they are but I don`t want to go missing. @@jaycesimmons7785
And another one #EmilyRiedel #BearingSeaGold #GirlsRockGold thanks for the great video, Sidenote been watching you for years I am just so so happy with your success and the length that you’ve gone and your determination and your beautiful attitude you just have such a wonderful soul thank you for sharing it with us❤😊
You guys have a treasure map that has coordinates to the treasure! So amazing!!! Dont tell anyone lol😉
It's a little secret between us and 500,000 of our closest friends
Better than the show i only watched for emilys operation
High compliments - thank you!
love the show keep it coming👍
If you keep watching we'll keep putting them out!
@@TheEmilyRiedel 100 % try to get your dad in some of these videos I miss him he is cool
We've been telling the man to come to Nome for like 2 years! If he makes it this summer I'm 99% sure you'll see him on here
you and your dad were always my favv❤ from canada
Thanks Robbie! Love from Alaska
Such a good series! So much more enjoyable and informative than bering sea gold. I like the less dramatic more relaxed telling of what goes into being a gold miner in Nome. well done emily and co.
Emily, thanks for doing these videos. They are extremely interesting. Every episode is entertaining. You also have a great looking family. Sincerely, JIm T.
very cool @Emily Riedel, keep sharing please
If you keep watching, we'll keep putting them out
Loving these vids! The production value is great, thanks for sharing! Nice to see you surrounded by a great crew as well! Get that $$$
Greetings from NC. I've watched BSG probably since the beginning. Great to see your channel and very interested to see how things are progressing for you. BTW, headed to Alaska soon. Always been on the bucket list!
Boom watching from over the pond, heavy pans peeps……
That was a really cool episode… not much time on the bottom but shows what you have to deal with and how vital bottom time really is.
Roll on next week and popping the cherry for Ross 🤣
AKA Rosstafarian
Congrats on your 200k subs...You did this on your own ..just as gold mining...just as Hard..!! Alot of effort was put in to your channel..and its paying off.!! Your mining will also pay off as well..keep it up..Swing for the stars..You can accomplish anything you want....Now ..your seeimg that ..!! Stay safe..!!
Yayyyyyy! Saturday is cold gold dayyyyyyy! Yayyyyyyyy!😊❤🥇
The best day of the week just got better
Placer is in drifts.. The vein is upstream.. Technicality, I know... Fun to watch.. Did some placer work on the other side of the state.. Best to you guys..
Thanks so much! Little technical for the average viewer I think. Casual fans understand " rich veins" and "ancient riverbeds" and "the motherlode" more than "alluvial deposits" and "drifts" and "concentrations". We definitely cheat on the language a bit to make it more accessible
It appears you are sincerly enjoying the adventure and that matters most.. Good fortune to you guys up there @@TheEmilyRiedel
Wow Emily, your YT channel and YT videos are excellent! Subbed!!! Your dredge rehab and gold store idea are also spot on. Talk about peak performance! You are really nailing it...congrats! BTW, been watching BSG (and all the other gold shows) since way before "Gold Fever" lol. Anyhow, your approach is a definite winner! Respect! :)
Love your channel Emily, so much more entertaining and informative than BSG or Gold Divers as it's called over here in u.k. Definitely don't need all the drama from the kellys or Vern
Great job Emily love you guys going down finding gold love watching you guys. What a challenge it’s right up. There with Absolutely crazy but you know your limits love watching Brad from Michigan…, Love watching Bering Sea Gold…❤️❤️
You've interrupted my work again! Thank you! Getting ready to watch it right now.
Now arriving at procrastination station
You Go Girl!!!!
@@daakrolb Yes, that's the benefits of busting butt for over 10 years to make a successful business.
@@daakrolb Well ok, Go tell your mama, she might value your opinion more than I do.
Great videos. Always waiting for the next one.
lol why is this better than the tv show, this is awesome
Here is an idea for pay dirt bags. I'll use your model so to keep expenses as you have them now, but us the customer have even a better opportunity. May be you could have a special group of bags for this to see if it could move the needle. Using the 4 gram per bag and 25 bags as an example. So out of these 25 bags you guarantee 3.0 grams per bag instead. That is 75.00 grams total. The extra 25 grams gets divided up by 5 and 5 of those 25 bags have the extra added to them. Now you have 20 bags with 3.0 grams each and 5 bags with 8 grams each. You are selling the same amount of gold per 25 bags so stays within your business model. But, anyone buying one of the bags in this 25 bag group has a 20% chance of getting 8 grams per bag. You get the idea now and really can slice this up anyway. Just a thought as it sounds cool to have a 20 % chance to get 8 grams :) You could hype it up and get people involved on social media " who got the 8 grams" ...
Anyway love the show as always!
Funny you should suggest that - we actually launched Bering Sea Paydirt with that approach. Turns out all you have is 5 happy people and 20 upset people. Even if you lay out the risks/rewards as clear as day, most people still get a sour taste in their mouth if they end up with a bad deal. We've found everyone is happier and more likely to purchase if they know exactly what they get. But maybe we can do a single product "mystery bag" or something that's more like what you're suggesting!
@@TheEmilyRiedel I am not much of a pay dirt buyer only getting it when middle of the winter and our sluicing spot is too high to work. ROI isn't that important to me, but that does seem to be the thing now looking around YT.
I’d say it’s a vocal minority that lives and dies by “ROI” most people aren’t plugged into that discussion
@@TheEmilyRiedel I didn't think about it like that but agree. Similar to seems everything now. The internet has given a collective voice to stupid and it is painful. As for me when buying pay dirt I just want to see some heavy stuff at the bottom of the pan and then even more fun to see if I missed any double checking. :)
Discovery really f**ked up by not signing you guys to a contract.
Most of the other folks on your old show are interesting to watch, but if I could only watch that show or your TH-cam channel, I go with you guys.
much better watching youtube videos than BSG Emily u r the best
Talented lady, she's an accomplished musician.🎉
Come on people hit the like button. It doesn’t hurt a bit!
Enjoying these videos, Emily!
Emily your dad only turns rhe hot water down.Lol nice episode excellent job!! 👍
Love the vids! IDEA.... come up with some way to divert the water and air from going over the gold when you're bringing the hose up? Keep it up yall!
I'm happy the hard work is paying off.
Good luck
You guys are living my dream ❤️ much love from Kentucky
We're serving up dreams fresh from the kitchen every Saturday. Much love from Alaska
Natural Cold Plunge!
That was about a days worth of editing, I think. Excellent result.
Would it be possible to put a camera on near the pipe inlet and control the pipe from the surface?
Seem more difficult to have someone underwater all the time.
I am also wondering why the system is not bigger, are there laws that limit what you can do?
Great Video...Great Music!!
Thanks John! Music is a tricky thing to get dialed in - can really make or break the show. Our editor this week did a great job
AWESOME!
Team Riedel for life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 get that gold guys 😮
200k subs, nice going.
this is better done...good job
Muito bom... Deus abençoe sempre vcs ... lembranças aqui do Brazil
Amazing very good, good lucky
One thing is certain. Prospectors earn their pay.
I have a couple of neighbors that have some productive claims. If you didn't know what they did for a living you might think they are wide receivers in the NFL. Bodies tuned by pure labor.
Good on you girl ! i prefer to watch these rather than BSG, keep on doing you ❤❤
Thanks so much Raymond!
No cleanup?
Are you use semidry suit?
Vincent Thurkettle found the piece of gold, weighing 97.12g, off the coast of Anglesey , and it is believed to be part of a £120m haul that went down with the Royal Charter steam clipper, that became shipwrecked off Porth Alerth in Dulas Bay in 1859. And it's still there to this day 13/03/2024
I want a shirt with your logo on it!
Good morning you guys, is Dan related to Bill Rainwater from Molalla Oregon?
Ask Dan! You can find his contact info at www.rainwaterweldingllc.com/
Do a pic of a diver holding on to the hose while the tide is pushing,for your bag gold.
"Current Gold" it'll blow you away
no shipping to Norway?
❤
Yeah, I prefer this content to Discovers. There is a high level of believability to it, yeah thats it: credibility. p.s. rally glad to see the accomplishments with the new dredge & all.
👌nice.. where did the name eroica come from? Cheers
May I suggest a strip of teflon for your chain guide to prevent unnecessary wear on your spendy aluminum rail? I realize a rope also goes down the rail as well but there has to be some type of wear surface that can be used. Perhaps some rubber? glty and keep sucking dirt!
Can you please see if you can add international shipping?
I just ordered some from Australia and I'd love to add some of yours to my collection too.
We'd love to but at our scale it's just too difficult with the different regulations and insanely high shipping costs. Maybe in the future some time!
@@TheEmilyRiedel Thank you for the info. By now I have found out that there are parcel-forwarding services in the US that us Old-World-Inhabitants can use to get your beautiful gold.
Looking forward to when I finally receive my original bering sea gold :-)
Thanks Emily!
Wish i could join and do this. Its been a life long dream for me.
I cannot imagine taking the risk of blowing big gold hauls out the dredge, I'm just too lazy to bear the thought of having to do it all over again to fill the box. Any reasonable way to strap flotation bags with an hoses going back up to deck, use diver air to inflate, just pull the plug to let sea water pressure deflate them? Sounds like more fun doing that than redoing a day of mining here and there.
do you have any info on discovery channel filming in the future and why they didnt film last season?
Hi Emily, what product do you use for insulating your divers hot water line
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
“It’s just me and Emily - “
*baby noises*
I think someone takes issue with your phrasing!
Got a total of 3 grams of bearing sea gold . I’m going for a full ounce . Support small businesses ❤
How much more does thing’s cost in Alaska
Depends on if Amazon Prime ships it. If yes, then not at all. If no, then significantly more.
@@TheEmilyRiedel I was meaning like things you buy and get built there in nome
do you watch any gold mining shows?
Not really! I get enough of it in my day-to-day life dredging and making this show. Got two kids to take care of and some other hobbies!
Unfortunately, I don't want to spoil the new season of Bering Sea Gold by watching these videos. Sorry Em. But I'll wait to see it on the silver screen. It looks like your crew is going to have a great season tho
Can you give an update on your dad?.. thank you 😊
Don't you have cameras that you can send down to check the visibility and current without having to lose time to deploy divers and equipment?
