*NUMBER TIPS: As you check this chart, you'll eventually notice that the weekly totals may not add up quite right. This is because:
There are occasional smaller clean-outs not shown in each episode so the cumulative gold totals may exceed the sum of the weekly clean-outs reported here.
The money paid out per ounce at each clean-out varies with both the changing gold spot price and how the gold was sold, the cash per ounce amounts will be highly variable.
These variables aside, you can use the running cumulative figures for both gold and cash as the most accurate measure of how each vessel is faring.
