Not all women are gold diggers, at least, not the literal kind.
Animal Planet's new series Alaska Gold Diggers (Thursday, 8/7c), however, follows five Orange County women who have left the blowouts and bleach bottles behind to seek their fortunes in Alaska. Matriarch Sarajane "SJ" Bartholomae inherits two gold mines from her dad, William "Popper" Bartholomae, who was murdered when she was a child. Now, with the help of her four grown daughters -- Krista, Korre, Kamme and Tori -- SJ will try revitalize the family mines in Nome and Fairbanks before it's too late.

Alaska Gold Diggers premieres Thursday at 8/7c on Animal Planet.
