On Mythbusters they used two of them at the same time to paddle a barge.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Well, find enough gold, Geek Diver, and maybe you'll have a shot.

Also, do they have claims or partitions, or do they just run out wherever in the ocean?

I recommend everyone watch the Gold Rush Aftershow for this week, if only to hear about the possible updates between Parker and Dutch Tony's daughter.

Good to know that they have their fair share of idiot greenhorns in addition to people who know what they're doing. Nice casting.

You know, I was worried that the Christine Rose was some kind of expertly-run dredge since it's so huge and seemingly well-built, so it wouldn't bring out a lot of drama. I was so wrong.

I still can't believe that captain decided to take his boat out onto the Bering Sea with no propulsion. This show kinda rules

If I had any part in any of these gold mining operations I'd really think about a having a CCW.

Also, Zeke was doing some manual gold washing in his "yurt". That will take forever. And he needs to stop being so desperate around her if he's gonna have a shot with art chick, though.

Is Nome Alaska actually a second world country? We're pulling millions of dollars of gold out of the sea and we can't put siding on our houses? We live in rusty old bus? Doesn't it get a little cold there in the winter?

Yeah, just a little bit cold*. Nome is only accessible by sea or air, everything is shipped or flown in so something as simple as siding is expensive as hell (and probably specially ordered) and, like a lot of nowhere places that have useful resources, the profits from said resources tend to go somewhere far, far away.

The guy living in a rusty bus is just an idiot, though. I did love him trying to go on about 'oral contracts'

*My Dad's friend flew through there 2 or 3 days ago, -42°.

That's what I was thinking, but that dude with the medical debt said that he and idiot steve's daughter were lontime friends and Nome natives, and that his father and idiot steve went to high school together (and I assume that means in Nome).

Between Captain Niceguy on the SS Aspergers, and the poor guy who quit his social worker job and sunk his life savings into a leaking boat named The Sluicy, I don't care what they pull up from the sea.

It's already comedy gold.

And like I said, when they were introducing all the dredges and crews, I was like "oh, they included the giant 80-foot dredge because they wanted to show how major, successful dredges do as well as small lovely ones," much like the idea of including Dutch Tony's mine in season 3 of Gold Rush.

But then the Christine Rose owner decided to set sail with no thrusters, almost broke his dredge before even getting in the water, and then almost crashed into rocks after pulling up almost five times the amount of gold they need to get on an average day (which they could have avoided had they fixed their thrusters, but then they wouldn't have landed all that gold).

I think the Rose is going to do well despite the stupidity, but the other three dredges will probably end up being up poo poo creek for most of the show. The Wild Ranger has no crew except an injured greenhorn and the only gold digger dumber than Todd Hoffman (who was apparently fired by the owner); the Clark is a two-man shanty dredge with an awkward not-romance with a guy and a greenhorn girl; and the Sluicey will probably be this show's version of Season One Hoffman Crew.

If you remembered all of this after watching only one show, you should be drinking more during the broadcast.
