A new season on the opal field begins and I must say we are filled with hope, at the possibility that this year will be the year we find the big one!
To kick things off myself and JC head down into the family opal mine in an attempt to make some quick money fossicking for opal in old timer backfill.
We spend considerable time sieving by hand with an old school shaker table.
To our great excitement we discovered quite a few killer gems along with fossil wood and specimens pieces.
While underground we also had to do a little work on our kanga loader replacing a tyre which with the proper tool for the job was easy done!
We also found a bit of wildlife making its home done the mine!
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.

I grew up on a farm. When I was 13, my dad brought a box with a part for INSIDE the tractor transmission. He put a box of tools on top of the box and gave me 3 days to finish the part change. I finished it before 36 hours were up, and I love mechanicking ever since.

Hey Guys. Just watched your filtering through dust and stones for those beautiful coloured stones we call Opal. My Grandfather, Herbert Wilson with Grandmother Ethel were one of Coober Pedys Pioneers. Grandad in the 50's, found a giant piece that made it to World status called the Australis Olympus. HE sold it back in the day for over £500's. Today worth Millions IF it's not cut up and on display in Sydney. Your show melted my Heart with nostalgia. I am 75 yrs, but I missed living in Dugouts. Never give up because there is a Vein just waiting for you both. Cheers Shirley V. Vic. Goodluck

my grandfather mined for opals. he found a fabulous huge stone, had it cut, set in 18ct gold and mailed it to me in canada in a matchbox, with a stamp on one side, and a partial address on the other. I got it on my 12 birthday, and have worn it every day since then. it's been resized, reset, stepped on my horses, bashed around, and fallen out of its setting, and I'm still wearing it. i'm over 65 now. it still looks great.

Why Are you excited by seeing wood??
@jillellis62
@jillellis62 Год назад
@@jeanetteilm50 any wood down there is beyond “AGED” possibly hundreds of thousands of years or more & as you can see there are ZERO trees there & so how old do you think the wood would actually be? Wood changes composition over thousands of years, when compacted with other organic material & even under heated pressure. Even sometimes it can change into an actual gem- like a black gem (forgot the name), but where you’ll still see the lines of the original wood in the gems.. The age & the process it must go thru over the years is pretty amazing. You can bet whatever age & process these opals went through, that wood has went thru the same; making them very old & valuable to the right collector. I’ve also heard this opal is only found in Australia, no where else in the world. If that be the case, then not only is the Opal gem worth way more than it’s given credit, but everything else in that mine should be considered as such as well- in my opinion. I’m in North Carolina, USA & in my small town I love to check our local water area for gems & do get lucky sometimes. I found a black gem that used to be a tree- I had no idea until last week what exactly I found- it looks like coal, but it’s not, it’s much harder & you can see the lines in it. So, I guess the beauty is in the eye of the beholder really if one asks “why the wood”? Life is precious in all forms, but there is something extra special about these finds, especially for those of us that seek them out. 🤗

Yes & NO - just like any "tunnelling work" - being down an opal mine with loose rock/scree left, right, & directly overhead, some of the shafts are death traps. One of my high school friends, who went to the WA opal fields, is still somewhere under a pile of scree. In other words - he suffered a cave-in & it killed him. Probably only in his mid 20's.

What an incredible start to the new season! Your passion and hard work in searching for that elusive "big one" is truly inspiring. 🌟 The gems and fossil wood you found are amazing, and it's great to see you keeping the tradition of hand-sieving alive with the shaker table. 🔍💎 Kudos for handling the kanga loader repair so efficiently! 🛠 It's always interesting to see the different aspects of working in an opal mine. I'd love to see more of your daily life on the opal field, perhaps showing the processes involved in cutting and polishing the gems you find. Keep up the fantastic work and best of luck in your search for the big one! Can't wait for the next episode! 😊👍 #OpalAdventure

Great stuff fellas! I just wish that I could see all of the Outback Opal Hunters episodes that I've missed, especially season 8. Be nice to be able to buy/rent them easily, without joining a big provider or buying Discovery etc. I don't watch TV and mainly watch youtube. Bought at least a couple thousand dollars worth of Opal since I started watching OOH, some from the Blacklighters but mainly various others. Trying to support the miners plus I've always been fascinated with Opal. Love it!..and love your episodes of Young Guns. Thanks.

Gday Young Guns. Thank you for the none stop viewing over the weekend. Watched all 25 videos and now have subscribe to your channel. Almost feel like a miner now as Listening to you all has been like a school room lesson. Almost think its time I donated myself to come and offer a hand working the tailings and shoveling the buckets to the top. Thanks guys for the great videos. I will keep and eye on what's to come from you all. Stay safe and happy mining.

I'm a gold prospector but also like all treasure and I would be in my element down there in that honey hole! I could see loads more you didn't notice when you were tipping the classifier out but I'm sure you will probably go through it all once it's on the top so nothing will be lost. 👍👌❤️💛💚

Opals were my grandmother's birthstone, and she had a giant ring with one - it fascinated me as a kid (sadly it was stolen later). I'm in Canada, but I've traveled to the Opal mine areas in Idaho - and I really wanted to do some opal hunting while I was there! Unfortunately it didn't happen. you guys must have so much fun doing this kind of hunt! What a beautiful rock.

They left a lot of material in there, and we know they didn’t have a market for the slightly lower grade opal, This was at the bottom of around a 35 foot shaft that they would have to dig all the backfill to get unless they by chance dig into it from underneath like us
