Young Guns Opal Hunters
Австралия
Добавлен 18 окт 2019
Three young fellas that left coastal ease for desert hardship in pursuit of the opal dream.
Jaymin, Noah and Jc are 3 ground pirates that started with shovels and jackhammers and have thrown 5 years of blood and sweat at the Earth.
This channel is dedicated to showing the world the lives of opal miners. Adventures, laughs, triumphs, losses and lots of digging on the hunt for the million dollar strike.
It’s a bad day to be a rock!

Opal Miners Escape Route (Thousand's Made?!)
This week JC and I made the long trip from the coast back out to the grawin opal fields. Unfortunately Noah was busy house sitting for his parents and was unable to make it out with us.
Nevertheless JC and I had a fantastic time mining. I made it to the claim a couple of days early got things set up and did a little bit of digging, JC shortly rolled into town in his new/old Holden rodeo (Bundaberg rum edition) and we got to work.
Our mission this trip was to connect up a new shaft Rod and Lez from the bushmen had put down for us.
It was a long hard few days of digging but we managed to break through and Jc had a lot of fun picking his way through into the mine and squeezing through a tight...

This week we have the pleasure of hosting another video on our channel filmed by Lachlan Blatchford in Coober Pedy! Some words from Lachlan about the video: We descend down a hairy 12 foot diameter shaft, weaving through red back nests to fine some beautiful colour in a long abandoned claim where a fortune in top opal may still be hiding! Fingers crossed our renewed explosive licenses come thro...

For years we have heard story’s of amazing black opal finds and now here we are ready to chase the millions! With the help of Rod and Les we got the claim set up and ready to be worked.

After months of downtime, we have finally made our way back out to white cliffs to begin a season of mining only to discover the mine flooded!

Utilising a blower I purchased and refurbished Jc set to work where I left off. After some very hard days w...

This week we have the pleasure of hosting another video on our channel filmed by Lachlan Blatchford and his brother Shannon Blatchford at their claim in Coober Pedy! Some words from Lachlan about the video: The Grace Opal boys push on with our plan to ream a shaft to make it big enough to get our machine down. With the peril of hard grey billy rocks and huge old machinery breakdowns, nothing is...

This week I had the fantastic opportunity to witness some history in the making. In my father Graeme Dowton’s ‘Naatji’s Nest’ opal mine, I was present for the discovery of not only one of the finest opal pineapple specimens ever found, but also a World First. Three pieces successfully excavated intact as a whole piece. Wow!. This discovery is also significant to the mine as it is one of the las...

You missed one ...
A year in a i got to enjoy this intro today. Just to let you know. That suffering was worth it
For all those saying Australia will look like swiss cheese have no concept of how big the country is. It is in fact a continent
Would that machine work in a hard rock gold mine? My mine has mud rock and serpentine fairly soft .
Chunky as.
Goodness... What a find... It's amazing watching the mining part of the opal.. great video, thanks for sharing
Always wanted to go opal hunting, can’t do that in Tassie 🤦🏻♂️
Cmon boy's. If you want support post more content
perusak alam
I just wanted to say, thank you for making videos!!! You have no idea how entertaining it is to watch yall go out there and fight everyday for your dreams!
How come your not on opal hunters anymore
Are cave-ins not a concern? Genuine question
Need more videos
Any tips on public places to search through tailings? I’ve watched all of the Opal Hunters show and been so keen to come up and will be at the end of next week. I don’t care if it’s potch, it would still be exciting for me 😂 thanks fellas.
Süper harika çok güzel
😂I was not digging for anything in Australia.....anywhere else yea...but not Australia
Opals are one of my favorite stones.
Is mitchies mosquito’s?…. That’s so cute how yall say things❤ we call them skeeters here in South Carolina or at least my family and I do 😂
I watched a movie that was set in Australia where the bad guy said he was born on the wrong continent. I think that may be true for me.
Livin in australia sucks with all the billion mines here Australia is gonna look like swiss cheese in 2050
Australia is going to end up like Swiss cheese with all the holes people have been digging.
Subhanallah so gooood, thats light is shining
💪
I didnt want to grow up 😉
Statut de la relation : débat pour savoir s'il faut partager la dernière part de pizza ou prétendre qu'elle est déjà partie💕
Wish I could do this.... Not got the funds to start up though
Won’t get me under ground
You call that color I'll show you color ha ha ha crocodile. Dundep if he was an opal hunter.
I pray you find the opal 🎉
You you have to back fill the mines when you get done or cap it off
Hey uh if yall need some help poking that hole with a rod I can do that. I’d poke the heck outta that hole like it’s nobody’s business.
Maybe use a croc tooth to get the opal out,or a cassowary claw.
What season is this please and when can we see it in Australia on Foxtel. Thanks
The old timers didn’t have black lights for sure
Another opal hurter in the making
You need an air source down in the hole
Look for these type of opals like you find geodes,look for rounded nodules.
Thats just wow mother nature amazing
Using a wider chisel will speed up the whole drilling process because it covers more ground than a single point chisel
Nice rocks 👌
Wow, that’s an awful lot of opal. I can’t wait to see it made into jewelry.
Wow you guys are really finding some sweets!
It’s a dream
Hey guys you need to take your breathers off when you're talking because it sounds like you're just mumbling with a mouthful of marbles
I would have to make that opening bigger
Beautiful 🎉
heck of a find, I always wonder how you guys manage to find these things without breaking them, I guess experience of what the rock around them looks like must play a big part thankyou for sharing a unique experience
Nz
Thank you Mates for the adventure and seeing hopefully a seam of great Opals !
