Oh man I so want some of that material to cut !!! And hey, at least you were safe when that tnt went off. I for one am glad you walked out of there bud. Yeah, losing material is a shame, but I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’ve seen the risks you take sir. Glad you’re still with us !!! God Bless
Thanks Bro! yeah it was a rare chance to film it underground beacuse the drive was very long, it looks closer than it was! A good lesson in slowing down and having peace, i was internally panicking a bit because i hadnt found opal that trip, thats why i didnt check the drill hole for trace. gotta have faith! Thanks as always for watching! God Bless you and yours too this Christmas mate.
Leaving it to grow for 20 years, they only would have been baby stones back then, sustainable opal mining 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing. Congrats on the finds, well worth hanging around.
@@greatplainsman3662 it’s very rare, in 30 years I’ve only seen a dozen rabbits, a couple of kangaroos and a cow. Many lizards and quite a few kangaroo mice unfortunately end up down there, we rescue them back to the bush wherever possible and build up and protect around our shafts.
