Gold Divers, A Viking Funeral

In Nome, Alaska, the gold rush is on! Meet the dredgers who pilot their dredges, and dive with hoses to suck up gold from the bottom of the frigid, unpredictable Bering Sea.

A bar brawl threatens Shawn's health and the future of the Christine Rose. Meanwhile, the Wild Ranger struggles with a leak, and an injured crew member.

The dredges take advantage of the perfect weather, but novice crews, and poorly designed vessels cause tempers to flare. Emily learns the dangers of dredging first-hand.

Tensions are running high as the dredgers search for new gold hot spots. Meanwhile, an accident with the 15 ton excavator threatens to end one deckhand's season.

Simmering grievances come to the boil when Wild Ranger owner Vern fires one of his crew. Meanwhile a jammed sluice box leads to a bitter fight between Zeke and Emily.

On the Christine Rose, a hastily welded winch roller gives way, releasing a cable that throws a crew member overboard. Scott insists on diving despite his injured leg.

As the season draws to a close, The Sluicey finally enjoys some success. Scott swallows his pride, and invites Steve back to the Wild Ranger. But will he accept?

As winter descends on Nome, the crews make the most of the last few days of the season before facing off at an auction for next year's dredging grounds.

The four dredge crews recount their experiences diving for gold in Nome, including The Wild Ranger's Scott, and Vern who have a volatile reunion.

The crews confront each other about the relationships that were broken due to false accusations and betrayals of trust during their time in Nome.
