Do you think that Justin & Becky deserved more than a 25% cut of the opal sale?
yes
Absolutely, they are the ones doing the hard work and taking the risks. I'm quite disgusted at how low a percentage they are getting.
Quest TV No
No
Yes a little more would be nice. Besides they are the ones digging and risking their lives.
I think they got taken on that deal...
Why the gell are they getting 25 percent and have to fix equipment. It's usually 80 percent and bring your own tools. They are getting cucked
The reason they are getting 25% is because they are rookies. Meaning they don't really know what they are doing. Or what they need to look for to find to opals. Once they start bringing in more opals, and gain experience. They get a bigger share. Right now, more or less, they are being tested. You need to remember this is a TV show. Meaning they are getting paid to be dramatic, as well as search and find opals.
yes this is fucked up.. 25%, rookies or not, the getting fucked,
they are getting 25% of total haul
Because it’s rough opal dude it’s not worth anything yet that guy may have even lost money on the deal
I don’t know a lot about opals but what I have watched from videos and professionals who’ve been doing it for years (cutting and polishing). You don’t know what you’ve got until you start polishing on the grinder - ie: color on a sliding scale, inclusions, sand, black markings that have to be sanded out, cracks that don’t manifest until after they dry out etc etc... I’d take 25% because at the end of the day what they brought out could basically be literally a load of crap.
That'a pure love ...and patience worth it good luck for more you guys....watching here from tokyo,japan.
Crazy to sell in the rough after all that hard work, why 25%? One piece of rough was probably worth the parcel's realised price imho...the rest didn't look promising on the vid....
Looked at thumb and thought WHATS WRONG WITH THAT STEAK 😂😂
Sameee I thought they were meat hunters
They got scammed
the ceiling of the tunnel should not be square, but round to have more resistance and not fall, I have been doing this all my life and it works much better .
Just a negotiating tip as a seller never ever tell the buyer what you want first because lots if time they are willing to spend much more but lots of times you'll under value it and than they talk you down even further
I work 6000 ft under ground in A coal mine. My wife doesn’t even wake up to say bye.
Damn that's crazy but who asked?
I understand Beck's concern it good to be cautious bt look at her reaction when Beck found the opal hehe she getting the opal fever LOL. I wish Beck and Justin all the best have they find a life changing massive opals
Everyone saying they got ripped off should consider that this couple is on TV and I'm sure are getting royalties or compensation of some sort. However, it does seem that they are risking their lives for very little.
There's no crying in opal mining
As gorgeous as Becky is, her endless moaning and arguing would get me down.
How magical are you?
no kidding! I’d be whistling Dixie no matter what.
It’s just natural ebb and flow situation- some will *find sometimes...and then, some will not- then it reverses and repeats. There’s a natural rhythm to that type of career, alone- almost like gambling, only they still make WAAAY more than what they “have to”...and they are so not sharing those amounts with us...that’s just a fact. They don’t want others getting any ideas and going out there- NO WAY! They act like they ALL barely get buy😂 But they wouldn’t go to the extremes If they only made what they show.
But inevitably, keeping faith and being happy, would surely produce more of a treasure-
Even if not in the form of huge monetary pay-outs.😊
Just being healthy and able to go hunt and play with your mate- should be appreciated and exciting in itself.
She *could be at a desk job, being a slave to a keyboard and on uh office chair...worse-
being stuck indoors, day in and day out.
It’s like- stfu already-
laugh, be happy& grateful for your health and all that you get to do!
Good gosh. What a downer. I’d go nuts. I get more excited than MOST of the hunters on these shows! I am shouting and cheering them-on as they walk in to sell their finds even.
I love these shows!!!
Even if I do have to live vicariously through them.
@@lorrainekelly6416 you are aware that an adams apple is not a sign for a man? both men and women can have them, one might have a more prominent one because of having more testosterone, but even even that doesn't mean anything because women can have naturally more testosterone than usual. Besides she has an incredible slender neck and barely any fat, so nothing to cover up the underlying anatomy
no one asked.
I agree she makes the job not fun and very stressful I could not have a partner like her
She’s a rookie but she’s a lucky one
Damn you cute 🥰
@@GrimsGhostG59 simp
Ripped off ! You need to go to a better gem buyer as this guy is stealing you blind
Would you rather risk your life living or sit in a box and be content that you're alive and safe. Opal is awesome because people do things like this to get it.
You'd risk your life for 25%?
@@perrymarshall8584 25% of what?
Will learning shaving opal and polishing it help them profit ?
It could, big-time! I feel like every smart crew should have a trained cutter on staff, if not on SITE!
Nobody cries in a mine. Check that at the door.
Love this 😂
if they only get 25% why not just say they didnt find anything then sell it to someone else?
And that's why the world don't trust Americans folks. Especially the white ones.
graphite yikes your prolly one of dum ones that like to stand in middle of highway.
They find it at 3:02 if anyone is interested.
I thought that was a steak in the thumbnail
Would love to do something like this.
Obviously not forever though
Same.. id sell my soul to have a mining job like this
You obviously have no idea about the physical and mental strain it has on a person..
@@flapjack9036 and in your head that means someone wouldn't want to do this type of stuff? Lol
@@randomrangoon5476 Sometimes it takes miners months to find anything, that's months without pay. Most miners have houses and families on the line and it all comes down too how much opal they find. If they get nothing for the season there family suffer too. There lives are also on the line because mining opal is really dangerous many deaths occur every season, plus they are out digging in the Australian heat everyday (fun).. So when youtube shows these videos of miners finding good opal everyone wants in, but they don't show the months of finding absolute nothing and mental stress that puts on the miner and his/her family.
@@flapjack9036 I get that. No doubt they are tough and I agree about the intensity of it.
I just think it would be fun to give it a go. Not do it as a career
Justin should get rid of her. She was giving up on him. Then he makes it when he buys a parcel and makes over 250,000 which restores her faith.
know the truth umm she found the opal remember
That cuttlefish fossil looked like a flower. Too bad you can’t make a piece out of just a slice of the whole rock for show!
Scammed usually 80%
My grandfather only has gold mine and tin mine
Hope i get to success his work
Really, Can I help?
So everyone out here ignoring the thumbnail pic looking like they're pulling opal out of raw meat
Loved watching your video about hunting opals.
She can cry on my shoulder !
Whats what's the opal that is fossilized fish what fish is that and how does that happen
They're called bellum nights and that's their shell it gets opal just like the stones do the silica drains down into their shell and hardens becoming opal
Does anyone know why they sold that pipe opal they’re found near their excavator for so cheap ($4,500)? Isn’t that the same type and roughly the same size as the opal that’s worth $1,000,000?
Those pipes were worth way more..
Why doesn’t anyone ware face masks when drilling on these programmes? Breathing all the dust in isn’t good at all
My guess is it’s already hard enough to breath the poison air without a mask. Obviously it’s not a good solution they are rookies and I imagine that would be my mistake. Watching these clips I guess an experienced miner would spend money to drill air holes
Addict mentality.
Sweetheart I would be praying for your man!!!!!
That girl crying before they even started ....
Just leave that women at home
The split should be the other way around. You do the work and risk they get 25% for doing nothing.
Are they still on the show. I haven’t seen them since season 2
Los grandes destructores de la naturaleza
There hands were shaking holding these
Was that bolder Opel? Or crystal
Lol i would’ve taken the next turn the fuck outta there with 100% cut 😂
I thought it was steak 😂
Her crying is why this sort of thing is called men's work. There are women that can do it though, they're just few and far between. Funny how she wasn't crying when they got their measly 25 percent cut though. Loves the reward but not the risk. Too bad for her you don't typically get one without the other.
4:37 those beautiful eyes❤️
calm down
Just how expensive is getting started?
Good job 👍👍👍👍👍
Twenty five percent? These poor kids are getting screwed. I'm glad the scumbag buyers are being shown for what they are.
A foolish businessman makes his girlfriend a business partner!
Wow they dont get much for it ?
What is this? (Gemstone?Dimond?)
Not a supportive women by your side has to go, that is not caring, that is discouraging the men, get out the way and let him be..
This young couple got ripped off! Big time!
Looks like fun :) great energy these two have.
He wants to work and earn money and she wants to stand around and sulk time to get rid of the dead weight and hire a working employee
What is this bring your stressed out sister to work day
Hell from Lightning Ridge where the real opals come from :)
She's a super supportive wife.
You look like Scarlett Johansson. Nice😍
she's pretty but scarlett on another level
I would pocket that knowing i am gonna get ripped off. They would have it comming.
what's the drop rate of opals in the australian server?
About 1/3200 iron ore nodes, but in the NA server it's too populated to make it worth your time.
Lol..... its .0009%
Hope they kept the best pieces.
Yes I do
Seriously bro you already got a beautiful opal
I wished they just keep the belemnite for now and have it as a savings deposit for the mean time... They've been cocked with the prices...
Good afternoon sir ji .I have Opel but I don't know what I do that satons and where is sale of our stons please suggest me and help me I hope you are help me thanks
No risk, no gain!
It's no wonder why she was crying and they didn't wear air filters. Because they're sick with that opal fever
Holy shit these guys are getting played
Fosters time! With some
Shrimp on the barbi
We don't actually say shrimp on the barbie. For a start, shrimp is an American term. We call them prawns.
Happy to see my husband's cousin having fun with her boyfriend
Send her home
Why? All 'his' finds, have been made by her. Without her, he's found ziltch and actually lost $60,000. Send him home!
All that whining I couldn’t work like that but you’ve obviously watched more than I have so maybe you’re right
@@waynecarr372 I've watched all the episodes. There here on youtube. You should watch them, they're very good! She only seems whinny because she is sick of him wasting loads of money and not finding anything. He even paid $12,000 for opal he was going to polish himself and they turned out to be worthless.
He’s obviously in the wrong game, i will watch them see if it changes my opinion
They deserve 95%...
I got 1:30 in and already can tell he need to ditch her
I think mining gems should be a hobby, unless youre part of a large scale operation... theres really not much of a gain ratio here
Does the crew know that they also get stuck stuck without help?
working for free basically, risking a lot. how smart is that😅
Its like gold mining and the lottery you always chasing the big score. A great score might retire a person.or give them enough to move on to something else
Or just kill them for 750.00 bucks....definitely not worth the risk at all....I believe they got ripped off on that deal and they need to renegotiate that 25% from whoever they are working for...take all the risk and for what really....pennies...i wouldnt have said anything and kept all the opal and cashed in at a later date....their boss is screwing them so why not just screw them back.
This is why you leave your girl at home
I hope you all hit the jackpot one day and walk-away billionaires.
That is hard yacker.
How to remove smoke in opal stone?
Why not using a digital scale?
It looks like a scam.
Someone needs to wake these kids up and teach them something. Twenty five percent!? Fuck that.
They got so ripped off them pipes were worth more than that but that's what happens when you spend your time crying rather than learning values
Hallo.. I'm from indonesia...
Saya juga mempunyai.. Batu Black opal..
There is no crying in mining.
If your there doing all the work your percentage should be more bigger prize bigger score
There is no crying in mining. I'd give her a couple hundred bucks to cheer up
That's why I'm going to be a miner or a gemologist for real
You usually don’t do something when you show it off to the world
Are not all mines underground? Seems a bit repetitive.
isn't a penny weight a gram? and 28 to30 grams in an ounce I thought. Can someone verify?
Talk about getting scammed.
the music is torturing
She seem just fine..as long as the money's coming in. I dont think she's cut out for this kind of work
If your gonna cry in the mine stay home
25%? Who agrees to such a deal?
Mexico has opal too
If you do the work 70% is common. 25% that's getting screwed with no lube.
They are being taken for a row
This miners remind me of jules Bern and the land of horses that are majestic and the apes that waist their life looking for rocks only to kill each other when one dies find it
