It's middle of July and the summer season is quickly slipping through our fingers. We battle low viz and strong currents to get on the gold and repair a major break in our pump motor. New diver Mark has to prove he can follow gold to secure a spot on the team. And to cap it all off we do a $55,000 gold cleanup!

@atadventures2336 - i had the same thought as you. I think that "what's missing" might be missing because of a "rights" issue. I have emailed the team to expressly volunteer my consent to use any video they have of me from the week we visited Nome. But, chasing down everyone from "Emily's Trip '23".. to ask for consent to appear in commercial content.. to make a segment which isn't really about Eroica or offshore gold.. might have been more hassle than it would be worth..

You have a tig welder! You could have tig brazed or tig welded that heat exchanger hole! One thing you can do is use stripped romex, the stuff they wire houses with. Since that was copper you could have also used aluminum bronze or silicon bronze filler wire. Just something to keep in mind for the next time!

Question: Are you and your husband looking at stepping the game up with a bigger dredge and equipment at any stage? The reason I ask is because I see the results that the others are getting with the excavators and it’s like chalk and cheese. Anyway guys, keep the shows coming and have yourselves a nice day.

You must have a very full day tending to everything. I wouldn’t be so envious of our weather at the mo luv. We are approaching the cold months and over the past week or so have been getting ice on the ground in the mornings. Nothing like what you get there I imagine but it is all relative. I’m going opal mining in several weeks to a place called Lightning Ridge where the temperatures get well up in the high 40’s C so I will be going from one extreme to the other. Anyway guys, here’s trusting that you and the family are well and happy and I wish you success in your work. Incidentally, I don’t know who the mastermind is that decided to go with the new format, whoever it was deserves a raise or whatever you do to reward a great idea. It is very professionally done and so, so much better than BSG. Bye, have a positive and rewarding day.

@icelandviking1961 20 күн бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. A little brazing rod or soldering on that copper should last a long time.

@gregsecore9625 19 күн бұрын

I do believe silver solder brazing real silver solder, you could have fixed that whole. Excellent for welding many different types of material that's just about impossible to do with conventional welding, meaning Meg or arc welding this is a animal all by itself. Usually done with a fine tip and acetylene torches. You usually need to make the metal turned red, but be careful you do not melt the copper, take it real easy. I would practice on a piece of copper plate and to you get good with it, I'm just about 100% positive you can do this with copper brass cast-iron really good stop you should have your husband look into this for the next time around. Just a suggestion :-)

@TheEmilyRiedel 20 күн бұрын

Get this question every single week. The reducer ring design is pretty much universal up here over the cross bars. Has to do with the gaps being too big and getting rocks and boulders lodged in there all the time and slowing the diver way down. It's not river dredging - these things are big and powerful and we deal with a lot of big, pointy boulders
