It’s a bad day to be a rock! - Розваги
Hello from Anchorage Alaska, my name is Steve. I just wanted to let you know I've been watching you progress as professional opal miners
I must say it's quite inspiring
My nephew and I prospect for gold in and around Anchorage. Good on ya. Have a great day
Great to see the next generation of real miners having a proper go, not posers, like some i wont mention, hopefully your hard work will set you up for life and at the same time inspire others to experience the thrills of finding their own opals so we dont lose our industry, australias national gemstone should be celebrated, well done.
Its good to see some young blokes proving their ambitions and living the dream.
Well done. Keep moving forward. Keep the momentum.
Mask up boys!! Esp when cutting huh! Great job, really though. Good onyas.😊
King brown and redback next to our sleeping room! That is Os at it's best mate! 🙂
Nice of you to tout Black Opal Direct re cutting.
Ferndale Washington USA keep digging boys 💙
I can't believe you mentioned black opal direct because I watch him all the time and that's where I take my cues from and I already know like I said I can cut I just know it I can tell that he takes the same care and attention to detail that I take whenever I'm doing my art
The new machine is super quiet. It’s really good to see some of the day to day, less glorious operations to see the full picture. Please keep the videos coming guys!
I’m watching from America. Thank you!
I moved the splash guard back 40mm and cut off about 25mm off the guard its self on my CabKing 6inch wheel machine.
It exposed more of wheels and made it much easier to use.
Australia wildlife is crazy! Never seen a Spider eat a Snake before.
Addicted to your channel my only wish is more frequent uploads 😅 beggars can’t be choosers so keep up the good work fellas
I was a Calmer, collected ton’s of them. I am from the UK. 😃👍👍
good work guys, Keep that big displaced Viking on the Shovel
Wow some beautiful stones cut there . Great video guys and lovely to see issac also 😀 👍
Take care from England 🇬🇧
Well done guy’s on another great video. I’m extremely happy for you all, it’s hard work but you look like you’re in your element out there 👍🏼.
I like your attitude son! :-)))) Hearty greetings from Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada
Drop bears, hoop snakes, and chupacabras, oh my!
Mate, There are no chupacabras in Australia. Closest we have are wombats and believe me, they can get pretty fierce if you stir one up. I had one get under my Landcruiser & I kicked a stick towards it to make it move & it went me. I jumped up on the back of the ute like a sumo wrestler cross ninja and had to climb in along the side & make my escape. I could see it in my rearview mirror chasing after me.
@@dustyfarmer There is no me in Australia either. I needed a third varmint for the Wizard of Oz reference. We don’t have drop bears here in the US. We do have hoop snakes, jackalopes, Sasquatch, side hill cows, Chupacabras from Mexico, and more.
@@morphamorpha6194 Don't get me started about bunyips & yowies.
Epicccc!!!!!
Oh we are watching in America
⭐️⭐️All I can say is dynamite 🧨‼️‼️‼️
Respect, I like watching Justin on black opal direct too. Good videos
"James is gonna go rub a few out" 😅
Looks like you’re got yourself a Cabking😃👍❣️
*Fantastic watching guys ☺️☺️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*
In my happy place x
If it was more hilly out there you'd have hoop snakes. They see a person & spring up into a hoop & roll down the hill after you. Those divining wires are good for finding them before they get you.
Love that do a bit of everything in this vid, always great to see the opals polished in a video, especially when you find them
Good ol Australia, you always have something that is going to ruin your day around every corner
Cheers to you for not destroying the Brown.
Yep..that's a clam..I live in Michigan in the US. We have a few crazy stones around here..YooperLights, which are over rated, but very hard to find..black light only at night. Petoskey stones which are fossilized Coral, and of course copper and Placer gold..ain't nothing compared to opals. I'm bloody jealous fellas
Hello from 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
You guys are some yehawwing treasure chasing coooowboys 🤠
Good to see you show the ople show 👍✌️
Class move saving the snake. Leaving it to slowly die would have been a terrible death. That hole was caused by humans, so humans to the rescue.
I enjoy watching you fellas seize life by the horns! Thanks for taking me along!!
You really need more buckets bro😂
You may use km. But what a much better name for clams.
Great video! I'm from here in the states, and ya, they're called clams here.
We have clams too, these are pippies....
@@MickH60 👍well i don't know what a pippie is, but he had said that here in the states he thought we called them clams, which we do. If thats what that was that he had found, I don't know. Thanks for the reply.
11 👍's up YGOH thank you for sharing 😊
Love you guys. Please stay safe out there. Good idea about sending down the GoPro first!
What a bummer that Sofia wasn't with Isaac when you showed up.
Think she just had a kid ❤
Isaac should have had a hot dog stand going
The most Australian first minute of any UA-cam video.
That Redback v brown snake will go viral
Watching from Kansas USA! Thanks!
Great insight to the whole business. 7 months digging and the rest of the year cutting and polishing. Watch out for the lethal live stock, hope the last weeks of the season are profitable.
great vid to show you can grab an eco flow a few tools and have an adventure. I envy you guys. nice quiet cab king machine.
Another great video with lots of things happening. Really cool you and Black Opal Direct got to try out the CabKing. I’ve had mine for several years and love it.
Finally yes back 🙌 😂
I missed y'all!
Noz!!! I need a couple of 6 foot deep x 6 feet long holes dug as remote as possible if ur keen? 😂😂😂😂
Whohoo
A real life game of snakes and ladders 😅🍻
Yes im from America john Anderson
yah boy
when you pulled out that shell opal I thought it was a condom at first lol.
Cheers 🤙🦘
Try not to get a shadow on your solar blanket. It will affect the charging of your power pack.
Should try get an over head camera or arm that holds a phone like black Opal direct does to show the polishing better
Yea nah forget that damn snakes and spiders
Are the young guns in the new Opal Hunters 😂😅😊😢😮
I can't believe you don't have you helmet on for the drop bears. I never leave home without it
Gotta be real careful about those drop bears
Never heard pippy for clams before 😂
I guarantee you're not an Aussie then....
Ever heard of a bearded clam?
In South Australia they are called Cockles
OMG, why is everyone on the Internet making Jokes about Drop Bears at the moment 🤣
Are all Australian’s blessed with expert communication skills?
Yeah, we are mate 😅
Awesome parcel You Got , any for sale like that in the rough ? Dale from Eagle River Alaska
Bloody Aussie. The only place that in someone's home you'll get a red back killing a baby brown snake. Fly across the ditch and the scariest things we have here in Aotearoa-New Zealand
are the humans.
Guys, I gotta admit something: due to this chanel (and my original love for mineral) the engagement ring for my girlfriend gonna have a droplet shaped opal in the middle, so thanks for the idea!
you gotta watch out for those drop bears. they drop in uninvited.
"If anyone is watching from America" Mate, pls.
Washington, USA!
Oregon, USA
Dale from Eagle River Alaska . Sure wish I could get My hands on a parcel like You just got ! Awesome
Southeast Missouri, I enjoy all the content you make.. Good luck in your mining
Texas
if that bit doesnt spin.. weld on a shovel or spade tip and breakup 4x or 5x the dirt a point does.. what you are dong now is picking up rice with an ice pick... get a shovel point welded on.. you now have a spoon to pick up rice..
How deep do you have to dig before you actually start finding opal?
just put a hose in there and suck it out.
When it comes to saving a cornered, pissed off brown snake or leaving it at the bottom of the shaft I know what I would do. lots of great rubs in that material. NEVER leave money on the table.
thanks for the video. the snake probably thanks you as well
You guys need to learn Knapping Arrowheads !!! Wrap a piece of Gold Wire around the Arrowhead attaching it to Leather Rope for hanging around the neck for Men... and what ever for Women like'n !!!
Dude i saw a red back and American black widow hybrid
With that being said I love you always work y'all are awesome I give you props for the mining that y'all do and I'd love to get out here and do that too I'm not saying I'm going to be as good at that though I know I can do to cut I love you peace out
Can you please let me know the name of the music you played towards the end of the video. Thank-you very much.
1:59 that’s gorgeous. Is that black opal or black potch attached? (Not sure the official name?)
Where’s your dobstick?
Question? Are Koloas (dropbears) dangerous to people?
Only if they go for your throat or try to scratch your eyes out.
Or pee on you
The dust you're creating, you should wear a dust mask 😮
I love this guy's sister! She is so gorgeous 🥰 aw she wasn't there
How much money can you estimate that you've rubbed off opals accidentally while rubbing them on a grinder over the years?❤
By the way fellas...Us Americans get along with Aussies alot better than any other country. Australia was formed on hard work, and so were we. I've drank many a beer with some Aussie mates..good shit!!
$2200 😂😂😂😂
There has to be a way to tip the bucket out without climbing the ladder
More buckets less trips ? might be a start they need a wire hook in the bottom of them to lower about 6 down and leave them dangling in a chain off the hook to save on room and stack them 2or 3 high on the floor so when you climb to the top you can hook them? Maybe not all the time but I would reduce the climb time and increase digging/mucking time potential?
Wouldn't have been better and a lot less on your back to drill it down?? Or does it cost to much for you or is there another reason??
not 7 days ago
No need to pay that bloke to dig by the foot. You could probably get a couple of work for the dole blokes from your local job provider to catch those snakes & dig the holes and they would pay you $$$ to train them in the trades of shovel operator, manual lift attendant & animal handler.
So true. The system is fucking crazy!😂🤣
Use a vacuum to suck that dirt up. Problem solved
Why not take out the side wall on a slope to the top ground so you can walk up and down it and stop using the ladder
Then the ratter's could walk down into your mine and rat you out. Take the ladders away & it's a bit like locking the door.
A spider killing one of the deadliest snakes in your bedroom is the only reason I need to never live in Australia
Justin is good but you are becoming a gun j👍
ive been day trading for years.. some years you pay the bills.. some years you dont.. some years you pay for many years of bills in just a few months!
I have to laugh hysterically every time I see someone using a solar panel with shadows falling on it. You lose over 90% (or more) of your capacity when that happens. Keep it in direct sunlight at all times and you'll do great. Go get 'em fellas. Best of luck to you.
Good luck on the day trading. You can make money at it if you put in the research.
#blackopaldirect they mentioned you again brother! ❤ so nice you give him a shoutout he’s so damn good! Love you guys goodluck on the pineapples! @blackopaldirect
This is kinda lame. Thats all you got?
I have to admit you did better than I thought you were doing but still take some of us take some of my advice particularly about the bigger pieces in your big hands
If I can give you one piece of advice hold it tighter stop letting it fumble over in your hand and onto another side too bad the good side and grinding on that will more than what you're intending to do I can tell you're not wanting to do that but it does .stop. instantly
