    Outback opal hunters is the only show worth watching on TV.
    So happy for Sam, after the last few seasons, just scraping by.
    Good luck to Pete, Sam and all the other guys, that work so hard, and in such dangerous conditions. These guys deserve their hard earned rewards.

      @@barrymcguire5048 I love opals it was an opal that allowed me to buy a car when I was old enough. I found an opal ring when I was 7 and handed it into the police. After 6 weeks no one had claimed it so I got to keep it and I got my mother to sell it and she got me £4000 which she gave to my uncle to invest until I was old enough not to waste it and by the time I was 17 I had £18,400 to spend on a car.

    from what I've seen people do with opals with smudges of dark without color like that they can sometimes be rubbed off on a wheel while still preserving as much commercially viable opal as possible

    Your father is very creative when comes to scrap resources and I watch all your programs on Australian opal mining and even seen your son struggle in the heat under ground in your opal mine but I wish I could show you a new way and safe way and build something that would be safe to use underground in your opal mine and never have to ever worry of any collapsing borders and roof coming down on your heads its so simple and you say to your self why the hell didn't I think of that for opal mines under ground

    Ok... silly question time, the boys here are sorting washed stones looking for opal.
    I thought UV light made that job easier as the opal fluoresces. These guys are in a room sorting already, changing the light bulbs can't be that expensive and would improve their chances of finding every single opal in their wash.

    • @michaelmacgeorge1082

      Opal like this is extremely rare and is, in fact, extremely expensive. The 2 pound chunk you're talking about from Queensland is probably 1.99 pounds of iron stone and .01 opal. Very thin on boulder opal. You can buy tons of common opal -no play of color- cheap but not high quality precious opal -has play of color- because the top material is not only very rare, but highly sought after on the fields. Piles of cash are traded for those shiny rocks whenever a miner gets lucky. I will say that the show undoubtedly inflates estimates, but inflated prices are where the bargaining starts. They are quoting prices for very wealthy buyers who DGAF about the price. FULL retail!
