Wildfire Opal Found While Working Underground!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- The words of House Stark ring true in White Cliffs, Winter is coming.... the cool winds begin to blow and its underground work for myself and Noah!
Our investment of $2000 in the claim Hooters continues to pay dividends. with brilliant green opal trace showing in the wall my hopes where high for a good find!
To better access the area I made the decision to leave the seam while I focused on shifting old timers backfill to clear a passage to our hoist/tipper.
The work was hard and made difficult by the lack of space in the tunnels and my height of 6'2''.
I managed to get the majority of the old dirt up and out of the time and Noah found his way down to the opal ready to dig out!
we worked slowly to extracted each piece of the precious opal until we hit some very hard ground (off camera) at which point we concluded the days operation opting to begin tumbling the opal and cleaning it up to see what we had!
The material was top tier green/blue worth around 5k at todays opal prices in the rough!
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.

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!
Awesome color! Super bright. My 5 year old was sitting next to me and said, daddy! That looks like mommy's necklace and earrings lol ! I said yup! This is what it look's like before it's cleaned up 😊. Then she said like the other videos you watch ? " Black Opal Direct " lol I said yup ! Hea said you need more money to buy mommy more pretty stuff... 😂😂
Little Man Gonna Be a ladies man with that Attitude 😂😂
That stuff literally looks like some kind of magical gem just sitting there for thousands of years in the dirt, absolutely amazing!
My favourite colours. Love the green and blue flashes
Me too!
I Just Love You Guy’s. I’m 71 I will never get to do what you me /people are doing I can only watch you and enjoy your work and rewards GOOD LUCK YOUNG GUNS And be SAFE TOO!
Try deer antler to remove the Opal, there strong and won't scratch like a screw driver will.
Hey that’s a great idea! I’ve seen the knife napping I think it was with antler! If only kangaroos had antlers 😂 not many deer in AUS!
@@younggunsopalhunters you would be wrong about the deer they are a massive problem in some parts of Australia. And good on you for waiting for Noah to dig out the opal
@@younggunsopalhunters You'd be surprised, there's a couple of million deer in Australia !!
@@younggunsopalhunters use a Roo claw
Copper is also good and soft
That was so much fun to watch. I find a lot of gold but Opal would be a dream !
Oh my, thankyou for getting back to me, I just started to learn how to do the comments. I am 58 and live in the state of Wisconsin, USA. I have been learning how to work a Computer for the last 15yrs.. and just statred to doing comments about 2 years ago you are the second person to answer me.
It’s Green and it smells like MONEY. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
Hahahah more opal more diesel more treasure to find! 🎉
Keep on keeping on!! That color was beaut!!
I for one, am very proud of you hard working young men. I wish you all the success you can handle. Be safe and love the videos
Hellz Yeah!!!!! Some ripper cutters there for sure🤘🤩🤘 Its been getting chilly here in the back hills of the Fraser Coast
Thanks! Wish we could find this sort of stuff everyday! It's starting to get really cold out here as well! It's going to be a cold winter I reckon.
Nice Find!👍 You need a dog🐕 named Opal to sniff out Opals for you...!
Hahah yes! I’ve met dogs named opal before!
You guys killed it paying 2k on this claim. I love watching every single video that comes out. Much Love from Canada.
It was a steal! Can’t wait to get the big digger and super hoist down there and really tear into some earth!
@@younggunsopalhunters What? Ya coulda made 25K if you'd only spent a day or two cutting them? Instead y'all take 5K... don't make sense
@@Bobby.D.1776 cutting opal is a risk, sometimes you double your money, some times you lose money. ultimately, they are in the business so i am sure they know best.
@@Bobby.D.1776 The reason we sell it in the rough is generally because we want to turn it over quickly to try and inject some money right back into the mining to hopefully find plenty more Opals.
Once the material is cut and polished and set into Jewlery it can take much longer to sell, upwards of a year occasionally with the whole process of cutting sending it away to get made into jewelry.
Most of the stuff we find we do cut and polish but this time we're just super keen on getting right back down in the mine.
@@younggunsopalhunters that's going to be incredible.
You guys are the best - absolutely luv watching your endeavours and wish you all the best life has to offer. As aussie as aussie can be.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words we are just a couple of guys givin it a go and it’s a privilege to be able to do this job and share the adventures!

Awesome find guys, nice size cutters would be real happy wearing a piece of that...

So beautiful stones, congratulations to the find, my favourite colors (together with many others)
Wow!! Beautiful haul!! I see some nice red and orange fire in some of them. Keep up the great finds and hope you get the best of the best soon!!👍👍😁
Pretty much all where green blue but one had some really nice red showing in it 🙌🏻
I can only imagine the gratification of finally hitting opal. I do know that feeling. When I find native American artifacts it's an immense rush that takes me back in time for just a few seconds.
Good find boyz. Hopefully still much more to come!

Awesome find! I spent an entire winter in Coober Pedy and only came across 1 pocket like that! So exciting!
Nice video mate😁👍👍🤙 loved the rum can at the end well earned
If that seam was thick enough to cut horizontally..... But lord is that color good
She’ll still cut slot of solids but head it would have been amazing if it was just a bit thicker!
That is some amazing green/blue
🙌🏻
That was a perfect analogy, it definitely looked as bright as wildfire. Really been enjoying the quality of your videos, respect from Alaska!
What a find, you find very beautiful opal stones in the walls of the land, it is very extraordinary. Greetings from Indonesian agate hunters.
Young guns great job I think I be same so jazzed can't wait for digger in to really shift some crap out stay safe guys and awsome greetings from uk 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾
Thanks for the support! We're really keen to get all the big gear down there as well and shift massive amounts of dirt.
@@younggunsopalhunters very best of luck with it remember attention to detail is very important and never rush around like headless chook 👍🇬🇧🦊🐾🇦🇺
How exciting for you, congratulations.
Nice find keep em video's coming 😊😊😊

I like you guys channel the best. I want to buy a piece of the rough a try to polish it and give it to my wife. Good day from Shreveport Louisiana USA. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Thanks! Cutting and polishing your own piece of Opal can be very fun and rewarding!
What an Intro. good find boys!
Hahaha probably would have found double the opal if we didn’t mess around for so long trying to film that intro shot 😂😂
@@younggunsopalhunters Ha! Worth it.
Sweet as boys! Hopefully you sell that rough to Justin, so I can watch him cut a top gem stone!
Hoping to do a collab in the future!
Hoping to do a collab in the future! Just have to find something extraordinary for the master 🙌🏻
Nice find my friend and new subscriber, cant believe I've never seen you before

I Flippin love ya'll. Hopefully, one day, ya'll can bring a fan out to work and film with ya'll ⛏️🤠
If you ever make it out this way come and say hello!
This was so awesome watching you dig the opals out. My absolute favorite gem stone. I picked a opal, and the jeweler cut a triangle 1.5 k stone to fit in a gold ring I had designed and had made. The Opal was about 500.00 back in the 90's. The whole ring cost 1500.00. I loved it and wore it all the time. Then in about 2007 it disappeared from my jewelry box in my bedroom. I was so heart broken. Never found who stole it. A few other items were taken. But this was so special. I had it made after my Dad passed, because he liked opals so much. I still have not bought a stone and had the ring replaced. Someday I hope I can again. Anyway. I am really enjoying your channel. Great videos.
Nice
Thank you for watching!
Great video and opal find chaps.
Those paydirt bags are great, not only do you get to hunt some colour but also get to understand the matireal the guys work with, which was a bit different than what i expected from just watching it on the screen.
Keep at it chaps 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching and for the support!
Nice looking seam opal. Congrats on your find!
Nice 👍 never know what’s in the next cut , good luck
That’s it will be heading back down today to do some more digging!
I bought 4 bags on May 7 and should get them by May 25. I may buy more , it depends on the first bags haul.
Thank you for the support and enjoy the hunt!
Wow, great job guys. Great quality 😁
I love these guys. So much Aloha.
Nice finds, fellas!😯
Beautiful opal and well done boys. I like that you give a decent show of the opal unlike the other channels that are 99.9% drama and 0.01% opal.
Keep up the great work 👍
You guys are on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Keep the videos coming. Love watching you and Noah. Hope you make a Million .
I would say that’s an awesome find. Keep it up your on good soil
Great stuff fellas! Watching you and the other miners turned me into a bit of an Opal collector. Always liked and been fascinated with Opal and love my large collection of various cut and rough material. Would love the thrill of finding it in a mine, unearthing that colour!
Thanks for the support! Nothing beats finding opal as colorful as this after all the hard work. We certainly haven't found a better job!
Quanto costa uma je adoro
You guys rock 😊
Thank you for watching 🤠⛏

What an awesome find well done.
Definitely a great day !
Definitely a great day !
Funny how you both made the GOT reference. That was very charitable, considering how they screwed the series up. Never mind. You found some very pretty opal and that's the name of the game. Game of Opal. All the best and thanks for sharing with us.
Hahah game of opals I love it! Hopefully the spin of Snow will give us all better closure then that travesty of the last season of GOT!
*Outstanding video guys even more outstanding,is the Opal was super duper stunning and watching you harvest it,is priceless. Love it guys,you make my day with your uploads 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻*
Thanks for the support! Hopefully we'' have another video out in not too long 😄

Love watching you guys 👍👋🇬🇧
I couldnt go underground and do what you do, much as I'd love to. I'd be freaking out at the enclosed space. Takes a special kind of courage to go back time after time. Go guys, good luck
Thanks for the support! It's not too scary underground if you do everything right. But don't worry when we first started mining Noah couldn't get himself down the ladder for 2 weeks
