  • Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
  • Finally after years of planning we have officially got our own mine up and running on a brand new opal field!
    For years we have heard story’s of amazing black opal finds and now here we are ready to chase the millions!
    With the help of Rod and Les we got the claim set up and ready to be worked.
    Jc did an amazing job belling out in some horribly cramped conditions.
    The opal we found was definitely exciting and we cannot wait for a second trip back to find even more!
    We hope you all enjoyed the video!
    A special thanks goes out to our sponsor for the video Opal Auctions who made all this possible!
    They have an amazing website filled with everything Opal and we couldn’t recommend them enough!
    So make sure you head over via the link below and check out the website! It is the place we sell our opal and where all the best opal is sold!
    www.opalauctio...
    All the best and thanks for watching!

    New blood in the Lightning Ridge opal fields is always a welcome sight and these guys are the next generation who are now learning the ropes in new grounds. I wish them all the success in the world!

    I am new to watching Opal harvesting. So new this is the first time I have watched ANY video about it. I'm from the United States, please don't hold that against me. It's election year so until people here come back to normal I am watching so I can learn about Opal collections. So I have lots of questions. How deep do you have to go down to find them and what is the type of stone they are found in? What are they made up of?

  • @TyOtis
    @TyOtis 3 месяца назад +2

    An old Bush way to fix a flat tyre… cut a square flap in tyre so it will be closed on forward drive/rotation… stuff the tyre full of spinifex grass… that’ll get you to a place where you can change tyre.

    You guys should consider using the waste to berm up around your shaft/claim so if and when it rains, you can keep the water at bay.
