Saving the baby was better than any Opal find in the outback!! , He's so precious, life is precious. Thank God he wasn't injured too, just his little ears scuffed up. Shouting out a Super Thanks ❤, and much love to all of you guys for what you do, and saving the little fellow was just the icing on the cake as we say here in the southern US. ❤.
I had a great week fossicking in whitecliff’s one of the nicest places full of awesome people. Can’t recommend going here and spending some time enough.
That pineapple has got to be the coolest thing I ever saw. Such a cool formation. Is that the opal taking the place of calcite as a quasicrystal? I'm jealous as a one legged man watching a foot race.
The bottle is a Japanese drink called Ramune. The cork is the marble you found inside. Typically once it's depressed into the bottle theres no way to close it. Looks like someone corked it
it is a Codds bottle, invented about 1880, used commonly until about 1920, revived for special drinks since. the gas pressure of the drink held the marble in place until the marble is pushed in letting gas . as children (1960s) we broke them to get the marble. an unbroken codds bottle might be valuable
I utterly adore y'all! Happy to see the little Joey made it to a safe place, and that y'all got a good grip of opals! Till next time! Hello from OK, USA!
@@younggunsopalhunters Bottles can have some value, not like gems, but they can be a really cool hobby. Lots of people in America go digging in old dumps and outhouses for them.
Nice to see Justin's helping, both with inspiration, advices and even tools now haha! Always will watch you guys, thanks for sharing the epic content, wishing you the best of luck in your future adventures!
I would take the dremel to that sand, best bet in my opinion to get through the sand more precisely. Great haul, i look at that crazed one and the crazing if stable would have a ton of character in a pendant. Spiderwebbing 🤔🤔 Awesome video!!👍👍😁
It’s rare we get the rain but when it does it’s always worthwhile fossicking the field! They say you can make an average person wage in a day! On this video we did a bit better then that!
Nice Rescue on the Baby Roo, I love that you have it in a Travla Esky, where there logo has a Kangaroo and it's all Aussies owned and made beer. Great work guys.
I enjoy watching every episode you guys make. It’s really fascinating learning about the opal Outback and the different day to day you guys live. Great plug-in with Justin. It’s great to see how everyone in the RUclips space are connected together.
Hey thanks! We are shooting everything now on a Sony A7r4 but had to go back to the GoPro for this video because of the rain and just do the close ups with the good camera! Glad someone noticed 😂 🙌🏻
“thank you”..? They weren’t doing it for you mate,they were doing it because it’s what any normal decent person would do 🤷♂️ I think the correct term is “well done” ...
Definitely worth a walk around on a rainy day. On the stone I'd slice for 2 stones and then the sandy bit take down clean for doublet material if you do them or sell as.
Beautiful stones guys!! What can anyone just walk out and find those?? I can't having a bad back all of the uneven ground would kill me. Great job saving the baby joey!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Great work guys It might sound odd but I realy liked the look of the specy with all the hair line cracks in it gives it a unique look Great to see the joey doing good
Great day to day video. Would like to see some more! Where is your other mate at? I see the three of you working together quite often. Did you break his other leg? Lol Now he can't work? Glad little Joey is healthy and has a new friend.
You two look so much alike! The eyebrows really show you are family! Good on you for saving the joey. Question: can anyone fossick and do you have to buy permits/license or purchase a piece of land to do it? My bucket list (not much time to fulfill it) includes going to Australia and looking for opals which are my birthstone! Cheers!
That bottle is a Japanese orange flavored soda called ramune. It's an interesting bottle with a glass ball in the neck. But not very rare, or old. And all Foster's sold in America is made in Canada, and yet the commercials and ads always say "Australian for beer" it's funny. I never knew it was an actual Australian beer until this video. Learn something every time. Lol
That Codd bottle dates from the 1880's to 1920's so that's old in my book and there are neck variations like single pour side or double pour side marble retention not to mention embossed makers name types. They where made even rarer because kids used to smash the tops off them to get to the marble inside or they were burnt in rubbish pits and the glass discoloured from the heat. They are collected by antique bottle collectors and some makers can fetch big bucks. I sold a "time warp" and probably the only one in existence Schweppes Codd bottle still with its original paper label in very good condition to a collector in Hong Kong. There used to be good money in collector beer cans, old glass bottles & demijohns but I don't know what the market is like nowdays but it's still a nice collectable bottle from a few lifetimes ago.
@@dustyfarmer cool to know. I wasn't aware that bottle style had been in production for such a long time. I just assumed, like a dummy, because I never started seeing these bottles myself until about ten years ago. That's what I get for assuming things
I would literally move to australia if there are ladies half this cute and badass.... goodness someone hook me up!!! id be an opal miner in a heartbeat! lol
I would love if you guys could share a little info on what it cost to purchase a mine or any of the equipment. or the time you guys take to get setup and operating etc. I find this channel terribly fascinating and it feels like there's so many questions. I probably have a lot of videos to catch up on first though. Keep up the great work fellas
Feral Cheryl trashed what was the original salvation army person's dugout @ Yakannia rush years ago. Myself and others used to stay there amongst the cave crickets and a resident bat. It's a shame that she trashed it.
I'm curious. Can you use a sand blaster but use a particular abrasive not to damage the stone? I would love to just walking around picking up gems of the ground. Can anyone camp out there and just pick up gems off piles? Great video Young Guns.
Yes i will run into microcrysraline particals that will pop off and drag across the surface. Some times increasing water flow will fix or orie😅nting the stone parallel to the direction you were polishing. But alas there are are times when you have to say, "stop, that's enough." before you grind away the whole stone. I find out mostly in black volcanic glass abd it akw as ys shows up in tbe final polish. I just keep pressing on. Thanks for sharing! 😷⚒
Why don’t you map out with spray paint safe zones and go back with black lights at night? That’s what I would do. You’d have to definitely mark off safe places being the holes and danger of shafts but you and I know those black lights are definitely the easiest way to find opal.❤
I wonder if it might be effective to have a black light/regular light high frequency strobe. So its still lit by the regular light, but also the opal being lit up by the blacklight. If it strobes high enough it can just seem like regular light but strobing between with the black light could illuminate the opal and make it visible.
Great episode. So pleased that you rounded off with the joey. He looked so forlorn in the car and yet looked so happy with his mate, Kevin. Loving those specimens. Cheers you three. Glad to hear that Foster's isn't what any self respecting Aussie would drink because VB is better and it tastes like piss. 😬
Nice fossicking scores! Please do more of this style hounding. Thanks and good luck from SE Pennsylvania. Plenty of mining was done in this area. A lot of quarries and coal mining also. Decent quartz specimens. I hear there is garnet but haven't found the spot yet.
Hope you didn't throw that bottle away looks like a codd neck bottle can be worth some dollars prity shore Alan and I were under that tree noodleing and got some nice pieces as well ..well done keep up the good work
Would it not be a good idea to go out fossicking after dark with a UV torch and a rake ? I imagine theres going to be a lot of stuff in those old discard piles given how much these guys have pulled out of backfill holes.
Im considering heading out there. Background in mining and a sense of adventure, tired of the US BS. Economic slips and mining booms. Seriously considering... any advice for someone heading over?
Glad you guys got the Gemfish flashlight.. I'm sure you will find many inclusions with it. And thank you for featuring it. 🙏
It was awesome to use and definitely makes a difference when it comes to working on an opal in the cutting room!
We need a Collab of some sort boys!!!
Looked so cool in the pineapple ! Cool toy
@@cflwhat would be a dream to do a collab with Justin!
Great you’re looking out for the up and comings Justin:
The boys are doing a great job here.
Love both Chanels.
Mad heart guys saved kangaroo means you deserve to find treasure ❤❤❤
Good work guys and girl. Be good to catch up to use at the Ridge again you went down of one of mine with Ben i was there.
Oh my beating heart 😍❤️ oh and elaura is good on the eyes as well 😁
yes she is.
Thank you All for caring for Jemmy the Roo♡♡♡♡

Happy we could help him :)
Codd bottle! Awesome! The marble was to hold fizzy liquids in, the pressure would hold the marble in place.
Hey thanks for that had no idea why it was in there! We find old bottles all the time out here!

Cool, always glad to see underdogs with heart make something from sweat and mother nature. 😅😅
Thanks for watching! It’s always fun out on the opal fields!

Not bad wages for being outdoors hiking around.
Nice finds!! Take care guys an see on the next one.
I love fossicking, never know what you may find.
It’s rare we get the rain but when it does it’s always worthwhile fossicking the field! They say you can make an average person wage in a day! On this video we did a bit better then that!
I dream of someday fossicking!
Thanks for the video🎉… Good to see y’all safe and happy… back to hunting
Amazing what you can find just walking around and kicking the dirt. I would love the chance to go and look for pieces like that.
After a rain walking the opal field is a must!
Nice Rescue on the Baby Roo, I love that you have it in a Travla Esky, where there logo has a Kangaroo and it's all Aussies owned and made beer. Great work guys.
You guys are so good spirited! Happy beautiful people..
Great video guys and bless you for saving that little joey .. x

@@dalerolando5371 thanks for watching
Cute lil Joey, cheers from USA 🇺🇸 God bless
Y'all are awesome. So fun watching every time
Thank you for continuing to follow our adventures!
You guys are just the best.
A very good educational lesson into the qualities of opal. Thanks. 👏😁🇦🇺
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
Great that you're grinding/polishing the stones to get max value.😎👍
Gotta make what you can on what you find :)
Love that poncho
The new close up high res clips of the individual finds along the video is a great addition as well. 🏆💯
Definitely make a White Cliffs video! 🏆🏆💯
Hey thanks! We are shooting everything now on a Sony A7r4 but had to go back to the GoPro for this video because of the rain and just do the close ups with the good camera! Glad someone noticed 😂 🙌🏻
@@younggunsopalhunters all of it looks clean and professional. Your doing great, looking forward to the next ones. ✌️
This week on outback animal rescue 😅
Great finds all and it was nice seeing you taking us through more of the processes you do.
Ahahah just another day in the outback
3:50 wow the rain at the perfect time to wet some opal
The rain makes all the difference that’s for sure!
Well done 👍 guys.
Love the pineapple 🍍 opal..
Well it’s definitely cooler weather now.. to work in..
Cheers from fellow RUclipsr Famo59 👍🍻⛏️
Thanks for watching mate!
I’m glad you saved that little guy thank you so much for that
“thank you”..? They weren’t doing it for you mate,they were doing it because it’s what any normal decent person would do 🤷♂️
I think the correct term is “well done” ...
Glad we could help him out :)
Crazy beautiful, good luck on your next hunt. 😊
Thank you next one should be a good underground adventure!
Definitely worth a walk around on a rainy day.
On the stone I'd slice for 2 stones and then the sandy bit take down clean for doublet material if you do them or sell as.
good on you guys for checking the pouch
That's not something people outside of Australia would think of.
Had to ❤
You guys have always been my favorite crew! You always seen to find good opal! Keep digging and finding that color! 🎉❤🎉🎉❤
Kevin has his back ...love your work❤
Beautiful stones guys!! What can anyone just walk out and find those?? I can't having a bad back all of the uneven ground would kill me. Great job saving the baby joey!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you for watching! We have tourist come out here all the time and find spectacular opal picked up off the ground!
Yes , Fosters is the potch of Australian beers , practically worthless 😂 Cool channel and a good crew , cheers 🦘👍🍻🍻
keep posting. love u guys
Great work guys
It might sound odd but I realy liked the look of the specy with all the hair line cracks in it gives it a unique look
Great to see the joey doing good
Great day to day video. Would like to see some more!
Where is your other mate at? I see the three of you working together quite often. Did you break his other leg? Lol
Now he can't work?
Glad little Joey is healthy and has a new friend.
You two look so much alike! The eyebrows really show you are family! Good on you for saving the joey.

My bucket list (not much time to fulfill it) includes going to Australia and looking for opals which are my birthstone! Cheers!
Hahaha we definitely do!
People just come out to white cliffs and fossick all over the place we are a pretty friendly town!
She’s quite a bit prettier than the opal 🤩
Love you added the cutting process. Why isn’t more Dremel work used?
Glad you enjoyed it was made easy with the gemfish!

Ought to call the little fella Lucky :)
Very true!
Who’s the new gal , I know it’s your sister 😁 nice rescue mate 👍
Nice finds. hope your season has started well.
Doing well so far maybe this will be the million dollar year hahaha
Awe very cute nice job i dent a shelagh I know called lady luck your way hope you hit paydirt obviously worked watch for snakes and scorpions 👍🦊🐾🇬🇧🍀
Good onya's, thanks for that 🤙
I would literally move to australia if there are ladies half this cute and badass.... goodness someone hook me up!!! id be an opal miner in a heartbeat! lol
Hahaha thanks!
Good on you both. Much love Mates.
Love your channel guys. Keep up the good work
Thanks it’s an awesome job!
A cool vid from Justin AND the Young Guns in the same night? Perfection!

I probably have a lot of videos to catch up on first though. Keep up the great work fellas
We're all super excited when we find out yall got a new video!!!
Well thanks for sticking around and watching! ……….. there might just be another video coming some time towards the end of next week too 🤠⛏️
Feral Cheryl trashed what was the original salvation army person's dugout @ Yakannia rush years ago. Myself and others used to stay there amongst the cave crickets and a resident bat. It's a shame that she trashed it.
Hey thanks for this info I’ve not heard much about it really just that it was there and she was in it. Thanks
What was the Feral Cheryl story?
Awe you guys are cool!!! Thanks for taking care of the baby Roo!!! Good luck to you all
Just glad we were there to lend a hand :)
Great video enjoy watching you guys search for treasures, keep up the grind and shine guy's.😊
I'm curious. Can you use a sand blaster but use a particular abrasive not to damage the stone? I would love to just walking around picking up gems of the ground. Can anyone camp out there and just pick up gems off piles? Great video Young Guns.
I was thinking the same thing... like a dremel sized high pressure water stream or something...
The bottle is a bottle for feeding animals! There was one at my grandmother's house because my grandfather worked in a laboratory...

Not a bad idea at all we will have to do a proper blacklight fossicking video in the future!
I wonder if it might be effective to have a black light/regular light high frequency strobe. So its still lit by the regular light, but also the opal being lit up by the blacklight.
If it strobes high enough it can just seem like regular light but strobing between with the black light could illuminate the opal and make it visible.
Brilliant suggestion. Seems crazy to dig tunnels when there’s piles of material that needs sorting.

Glad to hear that Foster's isn't what any self respecting Aussie would drink because VB is better and it tastes like piss. 😬
Reclaim that feeling....falls down a hole again
Hahahahah
Great vid! Love the longer ones
Onya lads!!

justin might be a goofball but he is an amazing cutter
I like learning all these Australian English terms like "Esky" for Cooler.
Looks like you found a Victorian bottle with a glass marble in. Often contained cola :) collectable 😊 find them here in UK from time to time
Love those pineapples, so beautiful
Drank Fosters in Oz Great. Brewed in the UK. P155.
That old bottle is worth good money do not take the cork out!!
Honestly that nice biggish piece with dirt on that one quarter make a nice as is pendant necklace
That one piece I would have used a Dremel to get the rest of that dirt and make it a free form stone for the pendant.
Will be up on our Etsy soon hahah
Cool
Wouldn't media/nitrogen blasting be better and more accurate than the cutting wheel ?
I would like to have a talk with you about the large cracked stone.
Feel free to message us on Instagram or our Facebook page. Or on Etsy where the stone is listed etsy.me/3mSG7uI
Nice find
Hope you didn't throw that bottle away looks like a codd neck bottle can be worth some dollars prity shore Alan and I were under that tree noodleing and got some nice pieces as well ..well done keep up the good work
why don't you use a Dremel with a diamond tip to take away this dirt? at 20mins
poor little sad guy :(
❤❤❤❤
Subscribed. How can I buy some rough from you? I'm in Texas
13:39 if its still around as a specimen ill buy it lol
If your interested it’s listed up on our Etsy! www.etsy.com/listing/1502294911/opal-specimen-rough-opal-specimen
21:13 to
If you still have them let me know ! Any cool colorfull specimen
@@younggunsopalhunters sounds good, hopefully its there in a week when my cheque clears
Would it not be a good idea to go out fossicking after dark with a UV torch and a rake ? I imagine theres going to be a lot of stuff in those old discard piles given how much these guys have pulled out of backfill holes.
That bottle is worth a good quid too. Old soda bottle
Laura my new RUclips crush 😍
Who is the new girl and is she going to be a regular member of the team?
Young Guns are the real deal. My favorite channel
Thank you for watching its awesome to be Abel to do this job and share the adventures!
You guys found an old Cod Bottle.
We had no idea what it was hahah
Love your videos bro hows the mining going is it aorth while specing out there stil ?
🤘😎🤘
Yewww
You broke the golden rule and took a step backwards in an opal feild 😂
It's mad how the old timers didn't see value in them and tossed it if they was still about today they'd be kicking off
Im considering heading out there. Background in mining and a sense of adventure, tired of the US BS. Economic slips and mining booms. Seriously considering... any advice for someone heading over?
