As the ice pack melts during the summer months, the isolated port town of Nome, Alaska
- populated by eccentrics & outcasts
- booms with excitement, as pioneer prospectors rush to get out onto the water in custom built, barely seaworthy rigs. The precious metal they seek isn't found in the ground
- it's sitting on the bottom of the frigid, unpredictable Bering Sea. From the Emmy Award-winning creator of Deadliest Catch, this incredible series follows three mining teams run by dredge captains whose very livelihoods depend on mining this wet & frozen gold.
