Wildfire Opal Found While Working Underground!

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- The words of House Stark ring true in White Cliffs, Winter is coming.... the cool winds begin to blow and its underground work for myself and Noah!
Our investment of $2000 in the claim Hooters continues to pay dividends. with brilliant green opal trace showing in the wall my hopes where high for a good find!
To better access the area I made the decision to leave the seam while I focused on shifting old timers backfill to clear a passage to our hoist/tipper.
The work was hard and made difficult by the lack of space in the tunnels and my height of 6'2''.
I managed to get the majority of the old dirt up and out of the time and Noah found his way down to the opal ready to dig out!
we worked slowly to extracted each piece of the precious opal until we hit some very hard ground (off camera) at which point we concluded the days operation opting to begin tumbling the opal and cleaning it up to see what we had!
The material was top tier green/blue worth around 5k at todays opal prices in the rough!
We hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.

Awesome color! Super bright. My 5 year old was sitting next to me and said, daddy! That looks like mommy's necklace and earrings lol ! I said yup! This is what it look's like before it's cleaned up 😊. Then she said like the other videos you watch ? " Black Opal Direct " lol I said yup ! Hea said you need more money to buy mommy more pretty stuff... 😂😂
Little Man Gonna Be a ladies man with that Attitude 😂😂
I Just Love You Guy’s. I’m 71 I will never get to do what you me /people are doing I can only watch you and enjoy your work and rewards GOOD LUCK YOUNG GUNS And be SAFE TOO!
Oh my, thankyou for getting back to me, I just started to learn how to do the comments. I am 58 and live in the state of Wisconsin, USA. I have been learning how to work a Computer for the last 15yrs.. and just statred to doing comments about 2 years ago you are the second person to answer me.
My favourite colours. Love the green and blue flashes
Me too!
That stuff literally looks like some kind of magical gem just sitting there for thousands of years in the dirt, absolutely amazing!
Valóban így van! Az opál a régen élt növények gyökereinek, szaranak, törzsének kovaoldatok által atjart,
kikristalyosodott maradványa a földben.
Keep up the hard work gents yall be 30 with bigger claims and opal ... and it will happen in the blink of and eye keep all the memories ✌️❤️✌️❤️✌️❤️
Hellz Yeah!!!!! Some ripper cutters there for sure🤘🤩🤘 Its been getting chilly here in the back hills of the Fraser Coast
Thanks! Wish we could find this sort of stuff everyday! It's starting to get really cold out here as well! It's going to be a cold winter I reckon.
wow good find opal
Nice video mate😁👍👍🤙 loved the rum can at the end well earned
That Bundy had a bit of colour in too🐻❄🐻❄🐻❄. Gr8 job guys!!!
That was so much fun to watch. I find a lot of gold but Opal would be a dream !
That was a perfect analogy, it definitely looked as bright as wildfire. Really been enjoying the quality of your videos, respect from Alaska!
This was so awesome watching you dig the opals out. My absolute favorite gem stone. I picked a opal, and the jeweler cut a triangle 1.5 k stone to fit in a gold ring I had designed and had made. The Opal was about 500.00 back in the 90's. The whole ring cost 1500.00. I loved it and wore it all the time. Then in about 2007 it disappeared from my jewelry box in my bedroom. I was so heart broken. Never found who stole it. A few other items were taken. But this was so special. I had it made after my Dad passed, because he liked opals so much. I still have not bought a stone and had the ring replaced. Someday I hope I can again. Anyway. I am really enjoying your channel. Great videos.
Great one guys!!

Wow!! Beautiful haul!! I see some nice red and orange fire in some of them. Keep up the great finds and hope you get the best of the best soon!!👍👍😁
Pretty much all where green blue but one had some really nice red showing in it 🙌🏻
Young guns great job I think I be same so jazzed can't wait for digger in to really shift some crap out stay safe guys and awsome greetings from uk 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾
Thanks for the support! We're really keen to get all the big gear down there as well and shift massive amounts of dirt.
@@younggunsopalhunters very best of luck with it remember attention to detail is very important and never rush around like headless chook 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾🇦🇺
You guys killed it paying 2k on this claim. I love watching every single video that comes out. Much Love from Canada.
It was a steal! Can’t wait to get the big digger and super hoist down there and really tear into some earth!
@@younggunsopalhunters What? Ya coulda made 25K if you'd only spent a day or two cutting them? Instead y'all take 5K... don't make sense
@@theoriginal.Bobbyd cutting opal is a risk, sometimes you double your money, some times you lose money. ultimately, they are in the business so i am sure they know best.
@@theoriginal.Bobbyd The reason we sell it in the rough is generally because we want to turn it over quickly to try and inject some money right back into the mining to hopefully find plenty more Opals.
Once the material is cut and polished and set into Jewlery it can take much longer to sell, upwards of a year occasionally with the whole process of cutting sending it away to get made into jewelry.
Most of the stuff we find we do cut and polish but this time we're just super keen on getting right back down in the mine.
@@younggunsopalhunters that's going to be incredible.
Well done fellas I’m loving what you’ve done, it’s really only been a few years but your progress has been an enjoyment to watch. Stay safe men and keep the dream alive! 👍🏻
Hey thanks for watching as always! Livin the dream diggin the seam 😂
@@younggunsopalhunters
Congratulations. Great Seem!
Some of the best flashes so far. Brillant
Shew congrats on the finds. No wonder why you guys mine Opal. It looks very addicting in a good way. Much love brothers
The opal fever has us that’s for sure!
What a find, you find very beautiful opal stones in the walls of the land, it is very extraordinary. Greetings from Indonesian agate hunters.
You guys are the best - absolutely luv watching your endeavours and wish you all the best life has to offer. As aussie as aussie can be.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words we are just a couple of guys givin it a go and it’s a privilege to be able to do this job and share the adventures!
Uh.. Great intro... Congrats 👏👏👏
Thanks!
I can only imagine the gratification of finally hitting opal. I do know that feeling. When I find native American artifacts it's an immense rush that takes me back in time for just a few seconds.
It’s Green and it smells like MONEY. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Hahahah more opal more diesel more treasure to find! 🎉
Keep the videos coming, sending you folks some love from Humboldt county California...
Thanks for watching! We’ll keep them coming as we find new and exciting finds!
Love to see your hands shake, that is how I know that you all love what you are doing. Keep it up love your shows!!!!!
Thanks for all the support! It's definitely an amazing experience to pull out the Opal, it's amazing when all the hard work finally pays off and we get to pull out the Opal!
Nice find and congrats on the excellent find glad you were able to put some money in your pocket!!! They're beautiful!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you for the support! Always a good day when you find a bit of colour!
Awesome find guys, nice size cutters would be real happy wearing a piece of that...
Awesome find! I spent an entire winter in Coober Pedy and only came across 1 pocket like that! So exciting!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support keeps us out here making videos and digging for treasure!
So beautiful stones, congratulations to the find, my favourite colors (together with many others)
Nice find guys! Cheers!
Your hard work finally payed well. god on ya mate. I recently learned that you also got rid of your lyabiliy. He's on a roadtrip with Rodney. Good decision
Respect...we wanna see more from you...greetings from The Black Forest...the birth from the kukoo clocks
Funny how you both made the GOT reference. That was very charitable, considering how they screwed the series up. Never mind. You found some very pretty opal and that's the name of the game. Game of Opal. All the best and thanks for sharing with us.
Hahah game of opals I love it! Hopefully the spin of Snow will give us all better closure then that travesty of the last season of GOT!
Whoooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉love your videos...all the best from Amsterdam
Thank you for watching!
Good find boyz. Hopefully still much more to come!
Great video and opal find chaps.
Those paydirt bags are great, not only do you get to hunt some colour but also get to understand the matireal the guys work with, which was a bit different than what i expected from just watching it on the screen.
Keep at it chaps 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and for the support!
Those blues and greens are so electric! Love it! Thanks for taking us along on your digs, always appreciate it.
Hi from NZ . . Keep up the good work boys . . Love your videos . . .
Thanks for watching!
OMG...those opals are spectacular...congrats and bravo, you!
How exciting for you, congratulations.
I like you guys channel the best. I want to buy a piece of the rough a try to polish it and give it to my wife. Good day from Shreveport Louisiana USA. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Thanks! Cutting and polishing your own piece of Opal can be very fun and rewarding!
VERY NICE. Awesome show.
Thank you!
Great stuff fellas! Watching you and the other miners turned me into a bit of an Opal collector. Always liked and been fascinated with Opal and love my large collection of various cut and rough material. Would love the thrill of finding it in a mine, unearthing that colour!
Thanks for the support! Nothing beats finding opal as colorful as this after all the hard work. We certainly haven't found a better job!
Quanto costa uma je adoro
I love this colourful stone
Beautiful opal and well done boys. I like that you give a decent show of the opal unlike the other channels that are 99.9% drama and 0.01% opal.
Keep up the great work 👍
Nice find keep em video's coming 😊😊😊
Wow, great job guys. Great quality 😁
I haven't realized it until now, but I have watched every episode you guys have put out!
I only wish you would be on more often.
Yay new video! 🏆🏆🏆❤️ Thank you guys.
You should double up with Pulitzer Opal. You guys could plug each other. He normally buys opal and makes funny videos while cutting and shaping them. Sometimes they are donated as collaborative. To get more viewers from his to you and vice versa.
Beautiful Opal!!!!
The nicest blue green we have found this year!
That is some amazing green/blue
🙌🏻
I’m loving the RUclips content, it’s a lot of fun to see y’all playing with your cameras! Can’t wait to see more. Thanks for sharing the journey! I have loved following y’all since I found you on discovery channel
Nice Find!👍 You need a dog🐕 named Opal to sniff out Opals for you...!
Hahah yes! I’ve met dogs named opal before!
*Outstanding video guys even more outstanding,is the Opal was super duper stunning and watching you harvest it,is priceless. Love it guys,you make my day with your uploads 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻*

I Flippin love ya'll. Hopefully, one day, ya'll can bring a fan out to work and film with ya'll ⛏️🤠
If you ever make it out this way come and say hello!
Damn, boys! Killing it! Some of the best material I've seen you guys pull. Too bad J.C. couldn't be there. He must've been trippin, when he saw it. Keep it up! Hopefully you guys will post EVERYTHING eventually
He’s sorry he missed that one but he’s off with em and the baby making memories! Keen for him to get back out in June!
@@younggunsopalhunters I figured that was the case. I'm sure that find has him itching to get back out to the cliffs! But I'm sure the new family occupies more thoughts these days. Cheers to you all, and thanks for the content!
Wow!!! Not too bad for a days worth of work!! Absolutely unbelievable what still coming out of that 2k mine!! I’m loving these videos thanks for taking us along!! 💜💚
Congratulations on 100,000 subs.
Love the young guns, the best ever videos 👍😎😎
Undeniably pretty 👍🏻
So vibrant and alive, like magic trapped inside each piece!
I would say that’s an awesome find. Keep it up your on good soil
i will be checking out your store and buy again, need a gift, love the content guys
Thank you for the support! Each bit of opal we sell keeps us out here hunting for more!
Hi guys, it seems hard work is starting to pay. Bravo 🎉🎉🎉❤
Sweet as boys! Hopefully you sell that rough to Justin, so I can watch him cut a top gem stone!
Hoping to do a collab in the future!
Hoping to do a collab in the future! Just have to find something extraordinary for the master 🙌🏻
Well done nice find please please please more uploads if possible you guys are killing it keep up the hard work it’s paying off well done
Nice find my friend and new subscriber, cant believe I've never seen you before
Thank you and welcome aboard!
Try deer antler to remove the Opal, there strong and won't scratch like a screw driver will.
Hey that’s a great idea! I’ve seen the knife napping I think it was with antler! If only kangaroos had antlers 😂 not many deer in AUS!
@@younggunsopalhunters you would be wrong about the deer they are a massive problem in some parts of Australia. And good on you for waiting for Noah to dig out the opal
@@younggunsopalhunters You'd be surprised, there's a couple of million deer in Australia !!
@@younggunsopalhunters use a Roo claw
Copper is also good and soft
This was so exciting, thank you!
been playing all yours vids over the last couple days and you guys do an incredible job! make sure you're getting some stretching in here and there with all those tight spaces :P
Followed you guys from the start, so chuffed you are keeping your head up! Tough game and all. Love to buy a bit of rough Nobby full colour from you when available sometime, to know it came from your hard work 👍
Love the channel and love the Young Guns. Best team in opal mining!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations you all deserve it you work so hard!
Thank you it means the world to us that some many people enjoy watching what we do and the encouragement is always appreciated!
As a novice cutter/shaper as i call it i have to say never sell in the rough always put in some work even a lil bit goes a long way
Love the videos boy. I was stationed at the Aussie base in AFG. Would love to come visit one day.
If you ever make it out here come and say hello 🤙🏻
That’s some juicy pieces of candy! 🏆🏆
Nice beard too. 🏆✌️
Man i know how addicting that work can be. Where i live in America we have a wild mushroom called a Morrel and they only come up when the ground is above 50 degrees and below 70 degrees, the season can last as long as 2 months or as little as a week depending of the rainfall and temps. we sell them for anywhere between $30-$60 a pound. When they are up you have to find them quick and get them sold before someone else finds them. Last year my buddy and i found 125 pounds in 1 day and sold them all the next day for top dollar. We made 2 months worth of wages in 2 days but it was a ton of work. I think in my past life i was a gold miner or gem miner, i have always wanted to go look for Fire Opals in the southwest or gold mine Alaska. There is a Diamond mine in Arkansas i need to go check out.
You guys are on fire 🔥🔥🔥
6👍's up Y G O H thank you for sharing this video with us all 😮
Hahaha as always thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our videos!
Nice 👍 never know what’s in the next cut , good luck
That’s it will be heading back down today to do some more digging!
You could sell thosebent buckets to gardeners.We are always looking for unique,worn buckets to pot flowers in!
Wow! 🤩 that was exciting... long may it continue!
The colours were vibrant and stunning.... Australian opal always lures me in 😂
Keep it up lads 🕊🇬🇧
Keep the videos coming. Love watching you and Noah. Hope you make a Million .
Great gems 👍👍👍
beautiful color
Some of the best green blue we have seen!
So awesome to see it come out of the wall in real time. Woohoo! well done guys love your work.
What an Intro. good find boys!
Hahaha probably would have found double the opal if we didn’t mess around for so long trying to film that intro shot 😂😂
@@younggunsopalhunters Ha! Worth it.
Love watching you guys 👍👋🇬🇧
I couldnt go underground and do what you do, much as I'd love to. I'd be freaking out at the enclosed space. Takes a special kind of courage to go back time after time. Go guys, good luck
Thanks for the support! It's not too scary underground if you do everything right. But don't worry when we first started mining Noah couldn't get himself down the ladder for 2 weeks
I found this channel a few weeks ago and I just gotta say. Keep up the great work. Great enjoyable content to watch. 👍
What an awesome find well done.
Definitely a great day !
Definitely a great day !
Good on you guys those pieces you found are spectacular maybe you should polish up a couple of pieces to get that extra equipment you need 😁😉
We definitely might! Even if we sell this in the rough you can rest assured we're going to put it back into mining. We can't help ourselves 😂
Fantastic find guys. The hard work is paying off. When are you going to invite me to come shovel the loose stuff out for you. You guys dig and I shovel.
