While Myrtle Irene owner Ken Kerr faces some legal issues, it appears that Shawn is having a good run, but can it last?
Bering Sea Gold Episode Description
Only days into the winter mining season, a regulator freeze up will end Shawn’s crucial air supply. Also tonight, Eroica captain Emily negotiates with Mr. Gold for season-saving coordinates.
And Vernon returns to the ice with an eye to buy Claim 16. The boisterous Kelly clan land on some gold.
In our clip, we focus on Mr. Gold. Observing what has been recovered so far, Shawn says: “What’s it looking like?”
The crew show him bits of gold in the sluice box.
Narrator Mike Rowe says: “Only days into winter mining, Shawn Pomrenke is already on a pay streak.
Shawn adds: “Oh we got some good dives in yesterday…seeing some good gold down here but before we move, I want to get get down there to make sure that this is the direction the gold’s going.”
Rowe adds: “Fighting to pay off his deposit on the gold rich Tomcod claim, Shawn is willing to test the limits of his gold-grabbing prowess.”
Shawn explains: “We’ve never had a season like this it’s all a roll of the dice.” He adds: “It’s not just how much gold is in the box freezing up… it’s whether you’re even gonna survive. The ice is thin. Thinner than i’ve ever seen it before. The ice could break off at any moment…nothing’s certain. I just accept that
each day could be my last.”
In another shot, Bering Sea star and Eroica Captain Emily Riedel is seen and she underscores the danger. She says: “This is what happens when you don’t
respect the Bering Sea.”
