Emily is back on the hunt for gold this season, but she’s not the only one looking for it. She’s up against another crew at a popular location, but luckily her old spot is still up for grabs. With hopes of helping her brother’s family, who are heading back to Alaska, Emily and her crew take the eroica to the West in search of a new gold mine. Their hard work pays off as they uncover a promising spot and start their first cleanout of the season.
After thoroughly searching for the Chicken Wing location with increasing frustration, Emily remains determined not to give up. Moving the eroica multiple times to find a concentrated mineral seam proves to be a challenging task. The divers’ role is vital, and Emily stresses the importance of positioning the boat on productive ground. Veteran diver Jeff Orzakowski leads a six-hour diving shift, uncovering promising spots. Despite facing obstacles, Emily maintains a positive outlook and underscores the significance of profitability for her family and crew.
Captain Emily Rydell successfully completed the initial cleanout of the season, uncovering brand new gold on claim 14. Processing the gold involves smelting to enhance its purity, ultimately leading to a more substantial cash reward. With great attention to detail, the captain oversees the smelting process, highlighting the significance of removing any impurities present. Once smelted, the gold is poured into molds, resulting in two solid bars boasting a superior level of purity. The total yield of 24.25 ounces is appraised at almost $29,000, marking a promising beginning to the season.
Emily is determined to outperform last season for the benefit of her family and crew. She gives credit to the divers, especially Chase, for their hard work. She remains optimistic that the newly discovered spot will continue to yield good results, depending on the mercy of Mother Nature. Captain Emily believes there is still potential for improvement and is looking forward to a successful season if they can continue to capitalize on their current location. Despite facing some initial obstacles, the crew is back on course with a positive attitude towards what lies ahead.
The profits from the gold haul will be used to help Emily’s brother and his family as they settle in Alaska. The successful processing of the gold has brought in nearly $29,000 from the 24.25 ounces collected, making a significant financial impact. Captain Emily’s determination, along with the hard work of the crew, has led to positive results and boosted confidence for a successful season. Despite a rough start, the crew has shown resilience in overcoming challenges and locating valuable gold deposits. The captain’s focus on profitability, supporting family, and fostering crew unity has set a positive tone for the rest of the season.
