Mining In Lightning Ridge Fantastic Opal Found!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2022
- Lightning Ridge is famous for its rare and absurdly expensive black opal!
Today we return to the famous fields to hunt for this elusive stone!
We were presented with the opportunity to come along for the day with local Ben Moses of New Breed Opals, to check out and dig a newly purchased claim.
Jc has since returned from his secret project which has been filming a new spin off tv series and we are glad to have him along for the adventure!
We set out from the town driving about an hour away down the dirt, we met up at the claim and headed underground.
Right away I can see the difference in the ground and the crazy root systems descending from the roof!
We roamed over the mine digging small pockets into existing tunnels. A few areas proved successful and we uncovered a small quantity of good quality opal!
In total I’d guess the haul for the day was around three to four thousand dollars.
I hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.

This channel is so gold. Keep posting!
Hahaha thank you! Legend!

AS much as I love and enjoy watching Outback Opal Hunters, there is just something different about the Young Guns that just keep my attention. They get right down to it and I appreciate all the hard work they do to keep pumping these videos out, and documenting their amazing opal finds! So exciting, making me wish I was there helping out!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s comments like this that keep us putting in the extra effort to make these videos!
Thank you 🤠⛏

Nice skill development dudes. Knowing how to read the ground is the magic wand.
That’s the key!

Been watching you guys for a while - my favorite team mining for opal! keep it up lads
Thank you very much! It’s a privilege to be doing this job and sharing the adventures!
Yeah, you just want to see them do well. I have no doubt they have a bright future.
@@younggunsopalhunters You could have a very successful UA-cam stream of income if you post more regularly - you have 21k subs - you could easily hit 100k in less than a year or so
@@younggunsopalhunters we will watch anything you video probably now if a good mix of ople video in it what have you got to loose ?
Shows how the shows create drama for views, while this is much more down to earth.
It’s fantastic being able to create our own videos! Thanks for watching!
Get that OPAL !!!🤣🤣🤣
Heck yeah!
what a fantastic discovery of opal, mining is amazing mate.
Best job there is !
Watching some off road content. Saw the notification and clicked immediately.
Hahahaha lucky timing! 🤠⛏
Amazing
🤠⛏
This is wonderful
🤠⛏
Yeehah! Show us the colour & pineapples boys! Cheers
Yeww treasure hunting for the pineapples
Love the energy JC brings, wham!
Milwaukee tools baby! Midwest represent!
the tv shows youtube channel
just regurgitates old episodes, the fact you boys have started up a channel with fresh content means you will get subs, views, adsense revenue and then continue mining...
a circle of funds!
love to see it, happy trails boys!
😎👌🏼
Thanks for watching we are definitely giving it a good ol try! Love to be able to share what we are doing!

Some sweet seam,, very cool video.
I thought you were under gunned with battery drills,, but some realised you need the control,, delicate work at times, good luck guys, hope you hit a massive pocket ,
And film it for us 😃😃
That’s it they don’t do heavy work but are good for finesseing the opal out of the wall hahaha
Good to see JC back after his trip with rod just found your channel on UA-cam been watching all the videos
Thanks for checking it out!
good work YG ⛏ I have some material from Ben on the way. they offer great quality. I'll post some videos soon.

Great videos
Thank you!
I started watching the show about a week ago. I love it!! Never knew the process of finding opal. It is hard work but the end result is worth it. Keep up the great work!! Watching all of the way from Minnesota, USA.🙌🏾🙌🏾
139👍's up thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great to see another video from you gents. Best of luck to you in your hunts.
Great stuff fellas, are yous on holidays,💃
Holidays for us is going to another opal field to work 😂
3:11 Seeing all those wet roots would scare the crap out of me. I would be avoiding those areas.
All through this mine!
Always a great time watching your videos! Keep living the dream, we wish you all the luck in the world, just don't forget to let us see your adventures! =P
I wish we could afford to spend more time filming though there is always so much to do 😂😂 hopefully new video out next Tuesday!
back baby
Yewww
Did JC have eye liner on ?
Opal miners are a tough breed 😂
Hahahah just his natural genetics 😂
I like the look of Opal, you guys must have a lot of trust in the ceilings above your heads.
Even do you got some natural pillars,.
Do you ever have parts of the ceiling caving in? I guess one of you must be a mining engineering degree.
Good luck with Opal hunting.
Natural pillars and proping in area where a lot of ground has been removed!
hopefully you all are making a video when you hit that 1 mil pocket.
That will be the one!
That battery jackhammer are
like a sawnoff shotgun !!!❤

I love watching y’all! Are you on opalauctions?
Happy to see the lads back together on here. Is there Anything in the pipeline we can look forward to from you guys
If I could, I'd come help ya dig some up and buy from you in person!
Thanks for watching the seasons nearly over for us this year we hope to have at least one good find before it ends!
That looks like the mine those two old fellaz mine ...same props same roots dropping from the ceiling..
Who’s the two old fellas
@@younggunsopalhunters from the show I don't know there names ..not the cook brothers ..
@@younggunsopalhunters have you seen the show lol..
@@younggunsopalhunters one of their names is rod Manning..if that helps mate . just gotta say lads love the show an what you guys are doing wish I could have a crack at it myself..
It always breaks my heart when I hear about a new source of opal, just to learn that they only sell on Facebook. I can't stand Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and all that garbage.
Just comes down to how else can we sell opal ? You have to go where the buyers are.
@@younggunsopalhunters websites are a good way to go. No unrelated ads, third party posts, narcissistic ppl, etc
@@redeyestones3738 will have to give websites a go soon!
@@younggunsopalhunters you guys already sell on Etsy or eBay (can't remember which one I bought a paydirt bagel from you guys through) but I was more making mention of the guys you had mentioned in this video. Along with a bunch of others I've come across in my time that I've been buying opal
I agree with the comments that you should ask this miner, to open a Etsy store and or a Ebay store....!!
Keep up with the good work down there....!!
Milwaukee should pay a royalty.
Hahahah if only
I could tell the sound of that kanga hammer was a milwalkie before i saw it.
Hey guys keep smahing those walls!!
BTW I work in a power transmission company, if you need sprockets, chain, bearings or couplings hit me up, I will look after yas!!
Thanks for watching and will do!
at 2.45 min , there was a nice green flash
Is it just me or did anyone else get creeped out by the little girl by the deck at the end 🙈🙈🙈
Hahahaha a little quirky
If you don't find Opal at the Ridge open a fish & chip shop. It would be a Gold mine.
Let's kick some opal buttt
All day every day 🤠
More vidssssssss
Hahaha yes new content coming !
glad to see your videos, not that quest shit and discovery which post same episodes
Hahah we got you! New video out soon :)
@@younggunsopalhunters they did it just now lol hahah greetings
How much does it cost to come in from the Top with a bulldozer ? To clean up older Opel feild like this quickly ? Like SA mob ?
It’s not a matter of cost for the most part, some areas are restricted to certain types of mining
Hey whats happening with the Discovery series?? Are you guys still filming??
UA-cam is where it’s at! The show is still going tho.
I m a miner in lighting ridge I dig with digger on tracks and blower also wash how do I get on the show.
Do they have benefits like claim access
And 8"orga hole prospecting for trace.
I can't get 8 " order hole dug at all I've been here in the ridge coocran Kelly's 2 along fenceline toward Olga's dam 5 years now
pillar bashing old claims
Sort of but mostly just having a dig :)
Guys were can I find the rest of series of were rod manning took one of your grew on a tour of all the different opal places in Australia I would like to watch all of them I've seen 1 were they found opal in the accommodation bug can't seem t find any more after that 1 episode
what was the creepy crawley? poisoneous?
No clue hahahah
wish i could afford to buy high quality opal for my rock display. I currently have 5 pounds of african malawi agate nodules that i wish i could afford a hi tech lap saw to cut into XD.
can you put up bits for sale on UA-cam? Facebook has caused me problems
We sell via Etsy link in video description. Unfortunately I believe Ben only sells via fb!
Can I buy some in Canada
How come nobody's using black lights
We use them when they are useful! They arnt unfortunately a miracle device that finds all opal 😂 the majority of LR black opal does not glow under a blacklight. Mostly light based opals crystal white ect :)
Just me or look like jc has mascara on?
Just his genetics
Would ya sell us a mine for 10k lol
If we had one to sell we would let you all know :)

Hard work don't think you'll just come here and make millions
Go broke doing it if you don't have a means to justify spending....
