· Gold recovery experts Freddy Dodge and Juan Ibarra help struggling mine owners. With increased stress on small-scale miners from inflation, they will only take a cut if they can double a miner's recovery. The odds are tougher than ever.
· "Bering Sea Gold" New Season Debuts on Discovery Channel - 9pm ET/PT
· Nome, Alaska - the one place in the world where the toughest gold miners use their ingenuity and skill to brave the dangers of diving under the ice - has been flipped upside down this season. While gold prices have soared to an all-time high, chaotic El Niño conditions are making the grounds nearly impossible to access, creating a shifting ice field filled with dangerous formations called pressure ridges. This treacherous terrain forces some miners off their claims and creates a funnel effect, pushing the fleet into fewer minable spots and in much closer proximity to each other. To combat the most unpredictable ice season in history, the miners must rethink their gameplans and choose all new strategies.
