Wow. Now that’s what this channel can be. Great storytelling. It’s fun seeing the opal but the journey could make you good money on KZread. 👍

Thanks for watching !

The only thing on my bucket list is to come to Australia, Coober Pedy in particular, and see the birthplace of my favorite gemstone. But I won't be able to come at this, the twilight of my years. But, still, I dream.

Take me with you to Cooper Pedy!

On your editing program, turn the background music down and the voice over up. Then we may be able to hear you over the music. Still loved it good luck❤ it 😊

Great video, thanks for sharing this. And tell those gentlemen thanks as well.

Superb vlogging - *A day in the life of an Opal Hunter 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* Hope you are all doing great

Well good luck on you finding the multi million dollar opal find!! I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Magnificent find 🎉❤❤

Love the wee gig - bet the neighbours have no problems with the sound travelling XD

Yes! Been waiting for a new video. You guys keep rockin on!

This is awesome mates! Hope you find the mother load! Hopefully this means more videos more often from you mates! Cheers on a successful claim 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸

Loved the narration JC. awesome as always

Loved it. Balance of sound seems fine. Very enjoyable vid.

Love this video, great seeing other ways of mining and Wow the scenery is awesome👏

Loved the guitars.. cant wait to see what comes out of there

Very interesting to see the opals emerge from the earth. On your next video if you could turn up the recording volume, I can always turn it down here, still exciting stuff, cheers.

I like the voice/music ratio. Eventuates the beauty of the area

FABOLUS VIDEO!!!! Ive always wanted to spend a month or two in Australia since childhood- To hear "Dreamtime" stories from Aboriginals, see 'Roos in the wild, and go to Cooper Pedy-‐ The 'rock houses' and OPALS!!! BUT will probably not make it in this lifetime (nearing 70-Lord, thats hard to believe! 🤭) so i truly THANK YOU for the "vicarious" trip!! P.S.-- Lovely stone!!!!❤

Good show... Enjoyed it... Well done...

Loving these videos lads, I'll follow your exploits for as long as you keep doing it!

1:48 the pattern on the wall looks like a colonial sailor screaming out at someone left of frame. Sounds loopy but seriously can't unsee it haha

Just discovered this channel, missing you guys from the programme! I'd love to have a go at opal hunting!

Opal in the bucket helps pay for Nicks services, he can finally afford a tube of sunscreen and some earmuffs 🤣Great video, cheers guys 🍻

Really neat to see a mine shaft being drilled in....

Only a few mins in, definitely need to sort the music/Voice balance, can't understand anything through the music :(

Was that JC's voice? Didn't recognize it without the usually loud and excited vibes. Kinda refreshing

Good onya guys keep up the great work.

I think exposure and time help you to develop inbuilt hearing protection

For real guys not the mainstream media BS 👍

sweet!

Great northern zero a great alternative

Very nice find whilst drilling 😂😂😂😂

Crank up the music. Especially your own songs. Cheers boys.

I made an extendable drill, fool proof, can't get stuck.

How about a short detailed series on how to start opal mining for total noobs, from finding a spot, staking a claim .....

I bloody love watching videos like this mate, Makes me wish I lived in Aus and not “Ye Old Boring England” where the prospects and free stuff you get given are plentiful if………………….you’re NOT a native!! asylum!

Hope u gave driller that little bit that came out of the bucket

Do people go through the piles of dirt left up the top of the holes very often? almost looks like it's worth sifting through with a black light at some point.

Can hear sound voice music perfect

Young Guns keep the vids coming please 😍

Mates, will you drop a video soon? Even if you guys are just planning out your season, night prospecting by black light, cutting or polishing Opal, a trip over to Eric's ?(the stone cutter, rubber / whisperer) or just doing your thing. Have you mates every find one of them old gold coins out prospecting? Hope all is well with you mates! Cheers 🍻 ⛏⛏⛏🇺🇲

That Toyota looked like a technical from the back... *Maybe an actual technical could help defend the hole*

You don't check the dirt while drilling to see if you have any opal in it??

@Opaldigger

4 ай бұрын

Yeah, that’s what we were doing when Shannon was yelling about the opal! Haha, but we do have a pretty good idea at what stage / level the opal is likely to be so we go very hard around those buckets and check the rest with a blacklight at night later.

How much does sinking such shaft cost? Not asking for a specific number, but is it in hundreds or thousands?

Hey fellas, how could someone go about getting started in the opal mining business? I'm a 20 year old American guy with 0 connections to any miners, let alone opal miners, and I have no experience actually mining (aside from Minecraft and Terraria). I've just absolutely fallen in love with opal and the process of opal mining so I'm genuinely curious about how and where I could get started in this industry. I'm itching to cover myself in dirt to find some gorgeous color.

“Booby traps”??? What if someone is just lost or merely a kid riding his bike through the area?

@Opaldigger

4 ай бұрын

They’re not very dangerous ones, just enough to frustrate people who come into his claim. I’d hope unsupervised kids on bikes stayed off the fields as there are many thousands of deadly shafts. Although I was riding a bike out to the field at 13 years of to noodle (fossick) but I have a special condition, 😅..

You guys back at the 9to5 life or just in a dry spell?

Difficult to to hear thought the music. Still watching though!!!!

Where are you selling the opal you are finding?????

that dust can't be good

August 2021….wow you guys are waaaayyy behind

I can see a dog on the rock face.

Music is not needed at all. Can't hear a word.

I didn't see Jaman or Noah or JC, so, Young Guns who?

lessen the music and raise your voice alittle

That's not surprising, is it? I mean, that's what you were trying to do, right? I sure hope your next video isn't something like: I used a toilet and a turd appeared.

@Opaldigger

4 ай бұрын

It’s actually very surprising! All the drillers I’ve spoken to over 30 years have around the same estimate. Only about one of a hundred shafts drilled contains opal with colour that is worth something. It’s the reason quality natural opal is so expensive, there’s literally miles of dead ground between relatively tiny productive areas. Thanks for watching!

The music is a little much, hard to hear what you're saying. I want to listen to you!

That's way too much dust. Mask or not you won't live to spend what you find.

Please lose the music.

Voice up mate you can barely be heard

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the easiest method of making me angry: speak softly and play loud music. The music should be in the background not the foreground.

Sorry boss, we are taking notes and definitely adjusting going forwards. Bloody iPhone with an app makes the whole thing on our end and what sounds good on this end doesn’t always come out quite the same! Once we strike the big one we will invest in some good equipment like the Young Guns have! 😊

Nice mask😂
