I lost my job on Bering Sea Gold
I lost my job on Bering Sea Gold
In summer of 2023, for the first time in over a decade, the production company did not shoot Bering Sea Gold for Discovery. So I lost my job.
On top of losing my job I had to make an emergency $100,000 upgrade to the dredge and work with a completely inexperienced crew.
We decided it would be a huge shame for you to miss the highs, the lows, and the general chaos that ensued. So we picked up the camera and filmed the season our way.

mate r u still pursuing a singing career, ☘️
Commenting because this popped up on my recommended and I actually know why. I’ve been building a character for a Fallout based TTRPG and had my character spend a lot of time in Nome and Anchorage. This was all just for backstory stuff, he was a wandering robot and I just so happened to have him spend time in those places more than others. As such, I did a little bit of research about the areas and I think that ticked something into recommending this channel. Which, I just so happen to like this kind of content, think I watched shows on TV that had very similar premises(Making a living off the coast of Alaska looking for gold), real interesting stuff! Like the content so far 🙂 GL to y’all endeavors.
Just like Steve to look for free lodging! What a classic.
I am not going to watch this anymore.
Love you and Jane!
Where is Ms Kilcher in all of this? Is she still part of your team?
KEEP DUING IT EMILY NICE TO SEE YOU COMPETING WITH ATHERS
Why dont you just stream live insted of making you a slave for other Company
You have a big fan base 😊❤
Much love from norway
Love watching ice gold divers and gold divers .mr gold sean simply thee best on the shows and love seeing chris kelly fail lol emily all the very best to you and your beautifull daughter xx tell jane i said hi to all the kiltcher crew love watching them all on last frontier xx
Is this the boat building business Otto Kilcher started and sold?
Lincoln electric is huge here in Ohio, they make great products.
I am suprised you kept at it in nome after all the adversity youve faced. Keep proving the haters wrong! Im a fan and will keep watching your episodes rather than bsg. Subscribed! Best of luck this coming season.
Ur a sham and joke
Looks like good quality fab work. From the leaks I saw there appeared to be galvanic corrosion which is the weak link about aluminum in salt water an (electrolyte). Make sure your electrical is properly isolated from the hull, don’t use household electrical components since they crossover the white / neutral wire and be sure to use the right anodes instal a galvanic isolator, never put bronze or brass on aluminum, isolate connections to steel even stainless. Once again good call on the oversized pontoons and good fab work.

Filling up the new pontoons with closed cell foam would eliminate them from filling up with water.
So BSG didn’t fire you there was just no filming so everyone “lost” their job? Right? At first on the show I want a big fan. Zelenskyy and your friendship, your wackadoodle father but as time went on you come into your own mining business. I was rooting for you and you bust your ass. Sorry to see you go but to be honest the shows at its end.
They’re shutting down the Hoffman’s, too.
How does an overhaul cost $100,000? Are you kidding me, that dredge alone shouldn’t cost that much. It isn’t a yacht. Maybe those involved shouldn’t make so much per hour or they are billing you lawyer hours. Wow!
Emily I’m sorry to learn you are no longer on the show. They lost an excellent person. On my TV you are the only person whose photo comes up at bottom of BSG show. I was thinking oh well maybe she sat out the winter? Will you be expanding in jewelry? Parker’s friend produces some nice rings. Wonder if Parker has an exclusive or whether Bruce could produce some rings for you (us). Regardless hope you still get ahold of Alaska Gear and they would be lucky to have you promote their product.
That press brake is ridiculous.
Make another pontoon in the centre of your boat😊
This is better than the program anyway👍
You likely made more money from the show than the gold. Unfortunate.
all fake
Good, i never liked you.
Two machines at once😊
This is better than the program anyway👍
Thank you!! I finally gave in and watched this episode. So disappointing that they are skipping a TV season but Emily to the rescue. Thank you @TheEmilyRiedel for producing this content and posting online. That on top of being a mom and working on the boat (plus who knows everything else us fans don’t see) I feel so fortunate and wish you and your team the best of luck. I take back all the things I’ve said (KIDDING) Lol, but seriously I am a big fan and going to make my family watch these episodes. Again, thank you!
Good luck
Good to see global warming in action
First rule in business, investing in your kit comes before the food on your table, or you struggle forever. Just have a look at how reaper nation works ! Lol
Sorry för your lost😣.
So, I’m late to the party. Just started watching Bering Sea Gold Season 18 and I noticed you weren’t there. Why are all of the other miners there and not you? If they skipped the summer season, didn’t everyone lose their jobs? They obviously got theirs back, why not you? You and Vernon were my favorites!
So your shows is basically you trying to look cute so guys do all the work for you and give u free or discounted products. Drinking is bad for you by the way. If you are not doing most of the work. Then u are not an entrepreneur or a boss. You are a female with privilege.
BATE
Thank God you are here! This is a great way to keep up with you and your adventures. I just found your channel on Reddit looking for info on the show!
Emily would be better off pursuing her opera singer career!
She did study in Vienna, after all!
Thanks for the links Emily I bought the new season and you are not there 🙁 you have been my favorite since the beginning and have inspired me in so many ways. It is so male now, lol. i hope you come back. But your videos are fantastic, I can’t wait to watch them all!
I was under the impression you had lost the "Gold Rush" job!… Ok, be watching out for ya’ll!!! ☺️
I hope the show goes on, I’ve been watching you all for how many years now? 18? I wish I could just ‘pop in” gnome and have a beer with you and zeke
Why on earth dont you buy a new better boat for $100k?
Huge fan of this
Emily is a 🔥🤤 hot Alaskan babe 😘
Being a two bit dumpster, you’re lucky they made and carried you this long. Be thankful. They made you, without them… I can’t imagine what you would be. Probably working truck stops asking if they have found Jesus.
was wondering where u went too Emily – Glad to have found you
Fk Discovery Channel , when they fired Josh and Cornelia Marie i quit watching . Fkin producers are like lawyers…
What? No, I love the show. They can’t stop.
My favorite show on tv is Bering sea gold. I love it. Can’t wait for new ones. Hopefully Vern has years left and u too. But the Kelly’s are the show. Watching them screw up year after year is so fun to watch. Good
Luck to you
I would LOVE to have Emily come on our podcast. We could definitely talk gold but what I’d really like is to talk music. We are a music channel but I’m a fan of the show and knowing that she’s a singer and music is her passion, I’d love to have her on. If anyone else would like to see a podcast where we deep dive into Emily’s love of music, give us a like. Until that day, thank you for making amazing content and being so open with your fans. Its greatly appreciated!
Fix me a second dredge and I will come work for u
