Great video. Wonderful to see the next generation so interested in the business, you can see by his daughters expression she loves spending this time with her Dad.
Best regards from Flensburg - Germany. In 2012 I spend some time in Lightning Ridge at my uncles place near the thermal source. I had some luck and found some little opals in an old mine too. I gave the stones to the owner of the property. I wish I could have this adventure again. One of the best things I have done in my life. Viel Glück an den „Deutschen“ und chapeau, dass du den Weg gegangen bist.
Anonymous Otto the Invisible Hi Mate, it’s my second account - Schmidt Happens. Do you actually live in Lightning Ridge? Perhaps it could be then, that you know my uncle. Have your your boy ever been down under?
Quad S G'day old mate. No, I don't live in Lightning Ridge, only visited when I was a pup many years ago. Always wanted to go back, and Coober Pedy would be great to visit too. My boy has been out here a few times and would love it if he made the move permanently... but that's me just being selfish. He is a decent young man, I am proud of him and can only wish him happiness in whatever he decides to do with his life. I hope you get the opportunity Schmiddy... Germans are damn good people. Cheers mate 🍻👍😉
Ten years on UA-cam and I just found your channel a few months ago? Man, I got some catching up. Been watching the last 2 years of videos and continue to be amazed at this stone and the lives of the daring miners that find them.
could the digger be used in placer gold mining ( rock and gravel gold mining), there is underground and surface mining. Also, could the digger be equipped with a jack hammer? From sister account...
Love the look of opal But wow it’s such a destructive industry. So many beautiful Australian landscapes have been destroyed for ever. The yield per ton of material is so small. It’s a greed industry with no consideration for the future 😢
Love watching these mining operation videos as much as you cutting opal.
