This week we have the pleasure of hosting another video on our channel filmed by Lachlan Blatchford and his brother Shannon Blatchford at their claim in Coober Pedy!
Some words from Lachlan about the video:
The Grace Opal boys push on with our plan to ream a shaft to make it big enough to get our machine down. With the peril of hard grey billy rocks and huge old machinery breakdowns, nothing is guaranteed... Progress sees us optimistic enough to sink a hole in the line we are hoping will be productive, what we bottom on is very encouraging to say the least! No fortunes made this trip but rest assured Grace Opal is committed to documenting the first fully fledged multi million dollar opal find on RU-vid..
We hope you all enjoy the video leave us a comment and let us know if you would like to see some more mining in Coober Pedy!
Make sure to head over and grab yourself some top quality Coober Pedy Opal:

The only thing on my bucket list is to come to Australia, Coober Pedy in particular, and see the birthplace of my favorite gemstone. But I won't be able to come at this, the twilight of my years. But, still, I dream.

FABOLUS VIDEO!!!! Ive always wanted to spend a month or two in Australia since childhood- To hear "Dreamtime" stories from Aboriginals, see 'Roos in the wild, and go to Cooper Pedy-‐ The 'rock houses' and OPALS!!! BUT will probably not make it in this lifetime (nearing 70-Lord, thats hard to believe! 🤭) so i truly THANK YOU for the "vicarious" trip!! P.S.-- Lovely stone!!!!❤

Do people go through the piles of dirt left up the top of the holes very often? almost looks like it's worth sifting through with a black light at some point.

Have you mates every find one of them old gold coins out prospecting? Hope all is well with you mates! Cheers 🍻 ⛏⛏⛏🇺🇲

@Opaldigger
@Opaldigger 4 месяца назад
Yeah, that’s what we were doing when Shannon was yelling about the opal! Haha, but we do have a pretty good idea at what stage / level the opal is likely to be so we go very hard around those buckets and check the rest with a blacklight at night later.

Hey fellas, how could someone go about getting started in the opal mining business? I'm a 20 year old American guy with 0 connections to any miners, let alone opal miners, and I have no experience actually mining (aside from Minecraft and Terraria). I've just absolutely fallen in love with opal and the process of opal mining so I'm genuinely curious about how and where I could get started in this industry. I'm itching to cover myself in dirt to find some gorgeous color.
@tymonkalbarczyk1456

How much does sinking such shaft cost? Not asking for a specific number, but is it in hundreds or thousands?

“Booby traps”??? What if someone is just lost or merely a kid riding his bike through the area?
@Opaldigger
@Opaldigger 4 месяца назад
They’re not very dangerous ones, just enough to frustrate people who come into his claim. I’d hope unsupervised kids on bikes stayed off the fields as there are many thousands of deadly shafts. Although I was riding a bike out to the field at 13 years of to noodle (fossick) but I have a special condition, 😅..

@Opaldigger
@Opaldigger 4 месяца назад
It’s actually very surprising! All the drillers I’ve spoken to over 30 years have around the same estimate. Only about one of a hundred shafts drilled contains opal with colour that is worth something. It’s the reason quality natural opal is so expensive, there’s literally miles of dead ground between relatively tiny productive areas. Thanks for watching!
