$25,000 Worth Of Opal Found Digging With A Jackhammer!

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- One final shot to pull out the million dollar parcel didn't quite pay off this year but never the less we did find a nice haul of Australian Opal!
As the heat hits White Cliffs and the temperature becomes nearly unbearble I go for one last dig underground in the mine we have been working on setting up now for quite some time. Using an old hoist borrowed from Carl Grice from the 'Poms Crew' on outback opal hunters I continue my battle against the earth shifting one shovel full of dirt away at a time until fining some beautiful colour!
I wish I had started filming earlier but I wanted to see if it would be worth the extra effort to document a good find! by the time it had picked up and I decided to film the opal all but ran out! though at the end of the day we still found a nice little haul of gems! hopefully enough to fund the start of our next season!

About Us:
Our names are Jaymin Sullivan, James Caruana and Noah Mcdonough we are the ‘Young Guns’ Opal Mining Crew from Discovery Channel tv show ‘Outback Opal Hunters.’
Our love for treasure hunting led us to quit our jobs and move to the desert in search of precious Australian Opal!
It’s a bad day to be a rock!
Wohooo Love you guys! So honoured to have cut your opal. It turned out amazing
Came here from Black Opal Direct! Been watching more rock and gem shows after falling in love with Dan Hurd Prospecting. Thanks for making great content you all!
Thank you so much for cutting it for us! An it was a truely amazing experience to see the workshop in person!
I’d love to have the story of this opal continue! What did you decide to do with it? Did you sell it! A girls gotta know!!!
You did a beautiful job
You are an absolute legend blackopal your channel was first one I saw that got me into opal mining videos
Don't get hung up on just filming when you find opal. As a sub and viewer I enjoy watching the trials and tribulations. Whether it's making a mess mining for nothing in a video or you manage to find 1 bit.
Thank you for the kind words! I’ve so many hours of filming and nothing but I like to be able to show the fun days when we find stuff so decided to still make this one :)
@@younggunsopalhuntersthe other side of the coin is to make sure not to create bs drama for the sake of views either. Keep doing what you do sir and let the content speak for itself.
Great to see you guys connecting with Justin.
Thanks for a great video, and stoked for your great day on the dig.
Also enjoyed watching him cut that stone.
Great he could colab with you boys.
He’s a champion.
As are you guys.
👌👌👌
Justin has done so much for the opal industry and it’s great to be able to build a friendship with him and work with someone we hold in very high esteem :) thanks for watching!
i just watch justin cut and polish your opal, and i am speechless. its what you would say. it's a whopper! absolutely gorgeous, and i am extremely sad that i can't buy it because i can't afford it. i left a comment on Justin's video saying if i could buy that i would get it set in a Pendant and not ever take it off!!!!
Lastly, keep digging don't give up i wish i was there to help.
Thank you so much for watching! And yes Justin is amazing at what he does and it was a dream to be able to have him cut something we found!
NEVER STOP DREAMING. 3 words for you young man. Your hard work will pay off.
Thank you I’d say my head is always in the clouds but infact it is buried in the earth hahaha
Awesome,you did great. Fantastic watching sir 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Black opal direct is a fascinating channel to watch and learn too. Love both this and that channel
Thank you for watching!
Watching you cut that shelf you were standing on, I found myself waiting for it to drop out below you. Then we could call you Wylie Coyote. From the bug's bunny cartoons
Not today 😂😂😂
Good save on the lizard! Lucky fella.
Beautiful stone ya'll ended up with! Color color color!!
Definitely some fantastic could!
My 2 favorite opal channels collaboration...awesome
Definitely cool to do a collab with the gem cutting wizard himself!
Hey buddy. We love your work and content you produce. Thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Good job brother. Love you guys videos. Please stay safe down there. Keep on keepin on friend.
That’s it will keep digging till we hit the big one 🙌🏻⚡️
0:16 boom 💥 Nice bright orange color!
Yewww
Good to see you still kicking! Looks like you burrowed in deep! Take care.
Still kicking dirt and having bust ups hahaha thanks for watching!
Lol .....was hoping that notification from Justin that came about 10 minutes after yours was going to be something of a collaboration! 👏👏👏
Made my day,thanks guys 💜🇦🇺💜
Was a dream to be able to meet up with Justin and have him cut a stone and see the workshop in person!
That was super fun! Thanks for your efforts.
Thanks for having a look!
The amount of volume of dirt and stone in order to get to these small slivers of Opal is mindblowing to me. I have miners in my family (nickel, silvers and copper). Huge respect for the work and trade.
Wow, that stone you are sending over to Justin looks amazing!
He did an amazing job make sure to checkout his video of it being cut!
Love your videos so happy when you find opal cause you work you azz off , I would be terrified going down in mine but it would be fun
Thanks for watching!
Hi guys, good to see you. Justin did a great job on your opal...
May the Lord be with you...
I knew I had to have the master Justin cut this stone for us and I was very amazed with the end result!
@@younggunsopalhunters Look forward to seeing your next video boys... Always praying for your safety in the mines.
Wahooo! Been a while boys. Great stuff! Different 44 club but i am all in
Thanks for giving it a loo!
I came over from Justin's channel ! I love watching him cut and polish Opals ! You have a new subscriber now !
I already watch opal direct lmao. Thanks for the upload!
When i was a teenager my dream was it to go to Cooper Pedy. Its a long time ago. Greetings from Germany
Love you videos keep em coming
I really enjoy watching you and the guys progress.I live on the gulf coast of Alabama and only wish we hand such a wonderful gem to even try and find! I’m so jealous 😂😂😂😂.keep up the hard work guys it will pay off!
If it was easy everyone would be doing it!! Keep up the spirits and just keep digging 😊
I've b3en watching you on TV for 3 9r 4 yrs. Always been fascinated by opals. Keep up the great work❤❤
Before the year ends you will find what your wanting. Keep up the hard work, it will pay off soon.
At the end of the day it’s about the journey as much as the destination! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
I came from, Justin's channel. Congratulations.
Been patiently waiting for another young guns video !!
I know I know it’s been a while but just haven’t found anything lately but this was a nice haul!
Hey it's never a bad day til you work hard Labor for someone else
You boys have taken the bull by the horns
Well done to your family mate
Great Opal! Congratulations!
Well done mate! Your commentary, GoPro view, black light torch and awesome opal finds are addictive viewing! Keep up the great work & thanks for sharing - Cheers
I came here to look because i saw Justin working on that piece of opal..ive been following you guys for a few months and find it so interesting and amazing too when you get some good finds..so, well done!! 😊
love the videography- very aesthetic to watch
Missed watching you boys at my office, retired, and watching on my phone
Love to spend a day with you guys looking for opal
Great job, Jaiman
Very few of us live a dream.
Fortune right there.
I've been down in Lightning Ridge.
It's really addictive.
I hope you create a good living at it. Reckon you will.
I watched a UA-cam channel where a couple mine and then hold an online live auction. Seems to pay off and spreads the love and popularity of them gem.
Hardly recognised you in clean clothes and combed hair , you scrubbed up as good as your opal 🤣 Justin did a grand job ,keep the videos coming cheers🍻
Hahahaha yes has to wash off the desert when coming back to civilisation 😂 thanks for watching too!
I found you through Black Opal Direct ❤
Can't wait to see the final products and the opel direct stone. Nice one.
Dude! That thumbnail is priceless. Looks as if you were an asteroid miner. LOL
Now that would be a dream! Imagine what could be found in the belt! 🙌🏻
@@younggunsopalhunters It would be amazing. There are untold riches floating around up there, waiting to be mined and used for building space stations, bases, colonies, ships, etc.
Have you watched the show The Expanse? The show has “Belters” who do exactly that. Plus they mine for ice too, and other frozen gases. Too cool.
I’ve been watching these the last 3 days. It’s a refreshing break from all the political social commentary I watch. Always love seeing you guys stop to save the lizards. It’s very wholesome.
Thanks for watching! We have an awesome time doing this job and being able to share the adventure is a privilege
@@younggunsopalhunters It definitely appears to be hard. But very rewarding and fulfilling work. Keep doing the great job!
Greetz from Queensland. Keep up the good work ❤
That's a nice gem..
The big one is coming fellaz! Just put in the work, you're going to hit a really nice one at some point. I'm rooting for you! Love the collab with Justin at BOD. Can't wait to see you have a massive success.
15 👍's up thank you for sharing this video with us all 😅
Hahaha thanks for watching mate as always!
Saw your stone over on Justin's channel and came over to check out where it came from. Cool stuff :D
keep on diggin
Nice demo, well put together
Cmon boys where the farrk are ya. Want to see you finding some opal.
Onya lads! Just seen the black opal direct vid yioo
Man you should video everything use do we'd watch believe in what you do we love watching
Love your vids, you need to make more video's please !
Watched you on Black O D. I also agree with many others. A collaboration of some type would be interesting.
Wow that system you have going is killer wish I could be there helping dig.
Your crumbs on the ground have that 😂 Wish I could join you blokes
great haul
A COLLAB?! I guess my schedule just opened up! Gonna see what Justin can do with your stone.
Glad to see you back boys🎉🎉
Thanks for sticking around and watching!
Tough break there. Hope it gets better for you soon. Some of those real thin pieces might be used to make some triplets so they may still be worth a bit.
Came here after watching Justin Birth you Opal.
Think he made something very special.
I thought i opend up this video twice when i opend up Justins videon in one tab and yours in another but i heard your voice in both.
Thank you for sharing. It always brightens my day when you post a video.
Yes.....we've been waiting.
I'm hooked on your content, and on opal in general! I have a paydirt bag coming as soon as 3 days away! I'm hoping to find something nice to look at, or maybe try to turn into jewelry. Thank you for your videos and the dopamine of treasure hunting!
you guys are so good, great attitude love watching you mining the vid quality so good too keep it up :)
Came over to watch your content after just watching Justin cut your stone. Being an Opal lover I obviously appreciate all the work you do under ground to bring it out, but I think you have to be slightly nuts to do it lol
nice!
There was a piece on the ground next to the bucket it lit up like the opal in the bucket
You should sink your lift bucket to ground level. It would be a hell of lot easier.
Hi . Another great video. . Opal and gold hunter fans are some what starved of new videos atm . Great to see yr still at it .
A question . . Re the "Concretion" you found and threw away , .
Why was this NOT like a "Yawa Nut" ?? , where you have to cut it open to see whats in side . . Cheers . . Take care . . Hi from NZ . .
I hope ya don't get flooded out with those severe storms I have heard of
Can't believe you didn't take ten seconds and break that concretion open
sometime its little bite more back. you'll will find more opal. That's how some nature behaves and workes
great video. I do understand wanting to video but not doing so, if you have seams that run out so quickly. I do love that rough. A pity I cannot afford any of it, HA!
Also, I guess I should have watched your video first, and not BOD's
cheers! I hope you find another good run soon.
You Will get there, you Will get there…
- just Take those 25.000$ like 100 times🤷🏼♂️
- that Will bring 2.5M$ !
FETCH😆🥰
I come from Indonesia, a lover of various stones. I want to ask why black opal or Kalimaya, when found, is always thin, unlike other stones, friends.
Have you considered purchasing something like this and setting it up in your mine and just switching between the flood lights and these black lights when searching your face.

Ill take the "waste " dirt❤
Keep your videos coming, I/we love them.... I'm in northern California we're no opal can form... I'd love to work with you folks🤘
Let's go!!
Thanks for watching!
I remember in a previous video you said you find loads of fossel/opel wood. Can't find it on your etsy shop, I would like to buy some
I’ve got some listed on my Facebook profile send me a message there :) facebook.com/marketplace/profile/100000855206159/?ref=permalink&mibextid=6ojiHh
@@younggunsopalhuntersI sent you a message 👍
That chunk of congregation reminded me of a knobby. Could there be opal inside it?
Justin sent me. :)
As always..Excellent content. Do You look for opal in Your waste dirt?
Just curious why you guys weren't on the latest season of outback opal hunters?
Are you guys on vacation? Guess its pretty hot down there these days. Been seeing Graham pop up, but nothing from the boys lately. Kinda bummed
I wouldn't leave mine till every last piece color is out
Pretty sure that’s what I did couldn’t find anything else maybe next time I will be proven wrong :)
How does your hopper bucket return home? I see the switch lever at the end, but are there two winches?
I'm curious what wavelength of UV light your torch uses? I didn't notice it in the listing
Do you wash or sort your 'waste rock' or do you just assume it is barren?
Love your videos 📹 can i come work gor yous 😊
You have black light headlamps?
Talk about cutting ya grass posting at same time as you guys
When's the next video coming?
Do you have a link where I can purchase more of your polished Opals?
Now you know as well as I do even if you found that million hole you'd be back out there the next day well maybe a few days later looking for the next million hole HAHAHAHAHA
I follow Black Opal Direct so I'm about to watch it right now
