Les and Ron are my favourites on this fabulous programme. Tough, resourceful and humorous. Australia should be proud of such men!....... I think they're great!
💯agree my favourite’s as well
These two men are gems themselves. The stars of this programme.
How can you not love these two old codgers? That's a rough way to make a living and all I can give them is a ton of respect.
I love these two I would l would love to hug them both.
Rod is 25 and Les is 35, mining is tough on the body
Rod is a honest man a rare thing these days
Straight up honest.
Rods a cool cat and les is great too , love them guys the best
I love these two, Rod takes good care of the old fella, or tries to when he's allowed.
You can tell Rod is a big hearted guy.
Awsome guys love these 2 men hard working 💪 they look out for each other and have a genuine love for each other...
These guys are my favourite off the show for sure! ❤️🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
All of these miners are hard grafters, I want them all to succeed especially the Ploughboys, great series.
Good on the old boy, I really like these 2. Les is a national treasure , we need men like him and Ron around for a long time.
Rod you are a legend
These blokes are sound, along with the other guys on the show, I reckon most Aussies are ok, down to earth and grafters. I’m a 66year old builder with real bad joint pain also, I’ve slowed down a lot and just ‘plod’ through my work with all sorts of different pain killers, still glad to be going tho!!! Salford uk
Ron is ferocious but now I know that LES is so savage in negotiating price...😂
We need more on these guys
Lezz should be doing all the deals that made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see these two get a ton of high quality grade opal they deserve a bit of luck and some money
All the very best to the both of you blokes. You are hard workers and deserve a break. Hang in there. I wouldnt mind catching up with you towards the end of the year and having a talk.
Love how rod loved les ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Luv watching these two , their fkn legends 💯 keep it coming boyz from Auckland New Zealand 👍😎🔥🔥
I like the old fello. He’s tougher than than nails.
mid 70's god bless him, my building career caught up to me at 50, when my back went
You aren't alone with back problems brother. Mine gave out at 45 yrs & 19 major back operations later I'm trashed.
My back shit itself at 27 life's a prick now don't be to rough on yourself when your young kids and keep away from motor bikes even if you never have a serious accident its gonna get to your joints one day
@@nzslots You would think with a blown back at 27 you'd have some killer videos.
Rod I think you should give Les your negotiation hat , mate he is stubborn loved it , Cheers .
Need more of these guys
Well done both of you respect
Pulls his hand away "No!" Hahaha
Ploughboys are the ones we always want to see do well
Think Rod and the old bustard are my favourite opal hunters it's big and it's 🧀
Whoa - the owners get a really huge cut!!
Nice one lads les is a happy bunny 🇬🇧
I’d love to see them hit a jackpot so Les can retire and take things easy and Rod can treat his wife.
Love you guys 💕💕
Good find mate,,,,,
As others have said, remove the belt that twists and run 1 belt short until you can get a new set of belts
If I was aloud over there ide love to give it a go
When you have a belt like that, you want to take it off and put it on the very end or the outer portion of the pulley, or just take it off entirely until you can get a replacement for that one belt. I'm sure the machine will continue to run as it normally does, it wouldn't hurt to use some belt dressing
Seems like the discovery channel would have a few shipping containers full of spare parts on hand in cases like this belt snafu. But that would take away from the prolonged drama that stretches it into an episode. 😆
Well done team beautiful opal,
I'm chasing river gold west coast NZ creek's bloody cold heavy wet suit required,plenty of flooding get out with metal detector,might see a pig too,boil up,doughboys,watercress, potatoes
Sounds beautiful... jealous:-(
Twisted belt -- put it on the outside or just cut it off, Ya know I have watched these people and everyone seems to pass a helping every now and again. It was once like that here is the US but in the last long while don't happen anymore. My partner died about 6 months ago. If you had something going on he was the first one there to help...miss him
Same here I lost my partner a few months ago and life isn't the same anymore, I miss him terribly, can't get anything done .
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 👍👏
first good day folks thanks from london Canada
I always wondered where Strop ended up 😉
I am not a doctor, but a lifetime of opal mining and being over 75 is why you are tired and your joints ache.
Justin Rhodes UA-cam has similar pain in his joints and swelling and it was from a tick bite. He's a homesteader
Back in the day we made our own belts out of leather and rivets
Les Drives a hard bargain 😉next time send him and when he’s walking back to truck with the gems go offering him a 1% deduction 😆wow guys
I love precious stones but I love gold more than stones so I'm mining it from e waste and it's nice.
Dig those V-belts go with a kog belt system.
Les you got the same problem I do. We just getting older
Seen this show about a month ago,, old news..
Next time leave him at home 😂🤣😂🤣👌
Les, have you vitamin D3 checked, and B12, I was hurting in my joints so bad, Dr checked my blood for Vit deficiency had no Vit D3 and no B12 even register in the blood test. Also was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, several videos on utube to check out the symptoms. Get well.
Same here but it could also be Polymyalgia Rheumatica a nasty wee disease with a lot of pain and stiffness. Mostly affects us ladies do Drs miss it in men!
I know 2 guys with fibromyalgia, one is in his early 30s.
@@kildee0170 Polymyalgia or PMR different disease 👍
Rod sounds like Ringo Starr.
Les needs some crowdfunding so he can chill a bit
You should close the door of your truck while you're underground otherwise you might end up with a dead battery from the overhead lightning on
Les you need CBD oil they have rub and drops and what not it does wonders without the high!
With his age an life hard labor any number of things
its big and its cheesey
Take the one flipped belt off. The drive should run okay anyway. Looks like what, 15 or 20% less grip. Should still run. The belts are car fan belts. Hard to see none in Australia exist.
My favorite hope he hits the mother load…. He can do it I know it one day pal all it will take then you can kick back. . Help les out
The problem with me blower not going.................
Send les some cbd!
big and cheeszy
Big and cheesy 🇬🇧👍🏻💚💙🧡💜
Rod if you need some belts message me please. I'll send from US Direct to you.
Never met a rich opal miner ...
Cut the one that twists n run without it
Who pays for the machines?
And the partners get $14,000 for doing nothing?!? Fuck me!!!!
1/2 is a bit rough I agree but they wouldn’t have found it otherwise
RAGNAR LOTHBROK
Pissy rubber belts have to be imported to Australia. FFS we here in Australia should be manufacturing these things not waiting on some 'slow boat from China' or elsewhere....
Drs Don’t know what’s causing his aching joints. Hmmm maybe his age?
Way don't you yos metal chains set-up.
....
👁✌️👁
oldddddddd
It's big and 🧀
One thing I can take away from half of these videos, it IS *BIG, and it IS CHEESY*
Did les get the vax...
Timthetatman on ice
It’s big and it’s cheesy
Also, for all of that, $30,000 US isn't a lot to ask for. You can make $50,000 US off of that at least. I can't stand middlemen, at all. They always want a handout.
Hi my name is Fletcher I was diagnosed with brain cancer and had multiple surgery’s and I was recently diagnosed with radiation nocroces and that makes my muscles weak. I’m really struggling with paying my medical bills so I was wondering if you could giveaway some of your gold so I can sell you don’t have to give me anything but please I’m really struggling
Thanks Fletcher
That's some bad acting and editing.
