Meet the Crews
THE CHRISTINE ROSE

|
Built in 2009, The Christine Rose is more than three times larger than any other gold dredge in the waters off of Nome, Alaska. Owner Steve Pomrenke, co-owner Shawn Pomrenke and their deckhands Robbi Wade and Cody Moen hope for a two million dollar haul this season.

THE SLUICEY
 |
|
Built in the fall of 2010, The Sluicey rig is a modified skiff with a pontoon attached to one side that barely seats two. Owner Ian Foster and deckhand Scott Foster (unrelated) work with one diver vacuuming the ocean floor with the other monitoring the machinery on board.

THE WILD RANGER
 |
|
Vern Adkinson spent $100,000 converting a 25-foot Stiletto sailing catamaran into The Wild Ranger, but the dredge and its suction assembly spend the first season malfunctioning horribly. Vernon Adkinson, along with captain Scott Meisterheim and deckhands Steve Riedel and Jason Walker round out the Wild Ranger team.
