Opal Miner Hits Underground Cascade Of Dirt Filled With Thousands Of Dollars Worth Of Gems!

them, but they are so crazy, nice soft stones, look at that. I guess she has

opal

if that's what you call them old Painted Ladies oh she does it it's just another step to getting a painted lady so you have this Glacial Stone here and because it's such a hard and dense Little Rock the Opals . she circled it on a face there and it's just sitting there on this ancient stone that rolled over from Antarctica, well that's the story that goes with them anyway. I bet the old guys threw that away too because it wasn't like a solid. piece of

opal

would be gone ah, it's just a little bit there, a little bit there and just throwing out a beautiful specimen oh man, look at that little solid bar of grain as my good friend Mr.

Manning would say, that's big and that's corny. You know what he probably wouldn't do, he'd probably make fun of us with it, no, I've seen him in this big look, that's cool, I'm a little chip here, even that one has a little bit of color in it, you know what it is? It probably happened, this is one of those holes where the old timers have been sitting next to the hole making fire at night, going through the opal and all the pieces, they're just throwing them down the hole next to it and that's it. ended at the end of this so we can find out how cool of a story the opal is telling.

I only have a few more days here, Jay, if you want to do it, you want to go and cut that opal so we can see what it looks like everything is clean, yeah, I can start with that if you want, you'll continue with all of this, yeah, I'll check this, this It's almost finished, but I'll continue with this. I'll go down a little bit more and see if it's still going because if it's still going if it's all the way to the end of the shaft, you're going to go through this for the next few days, really yeah, okay, do you want me to move? this big pile of

dirt

here and there so you have more room to go down further and that way you can keep digging longer while I'm not down here, yeah, yeah, definitely, let's do it, we'll get it out of the way.

I'll get a fresh new stack and find more jams. I'll miss the damn good part, but I'm actually very interested to see how some of those opals cut like they look spectacular overseas. I'll go to Cotton, good luck. a few more

gems

guys so I'm going to go back and start cutting to see if we can turn those

gems

into some diesel oil, that's what we're becoming so I'm in The Cutting Room now and I'm about to To start I'll do it What we're going to do first is basically remove each individual piece of opal, remove as much

dirt

as possible so we can see what material we actually have to work with and then you'll know.

Take a better look at the material, decide what shapes we're going to cut and then finish off, but I'm not going to film too much here just because I want to do it as quickly as possible and I'll show you. Guys, the final result, so let's get started. Thanks guys, I've been cutting for a while and I think we have some absolutely great material, especially those red things like that that come out absolutely wonderful. What I am going to do? Now it's basically finishing everything myself. I'm going to take our templates. You know, I'll decide what kind of shapes I'm going to make.

I think I'll stick to mostly ovals and you know, circular shapes. For now I'm not going to do too many freeforms. I'm going to stick with some more traditional shapes that sell a little more easily. But yeah, I'll be working on most of this myself. I'm not really going to film. a lot more just because I want to focus on cutting the material so you guys can jump right into the end result. We go abroad. Fantastic stones. Now I'm heading to camp to show JC the final result, but I think he'll go. to be very happy, I know I'm fine, let's show JC the gems, JC, take a look, oh brother, they cleaned very well, they fit quite well.

I've got my damn cookie, remember how we said there, it'll be just like what it was around. 500 to a thousand, yes, that has to be a thousand

dollars

, stone brother. I think we all ended up with, yeah, a couple thousand

dollars

worth

of opals just by cleaning out an old shaft and drilling a new air hole. How good is that? guys you've left it behind and that's what you get, that's what you've left behind guys you're just veterans thanks old timers yeah thanks and praise to the veterans well JC there's one thing left to do , jump in the ute, bro.

At that time we want water there, there isn't much water, that must have been a tough summer for sure. I don't think we can use the rope swing, it's less than half full, oh it's all green. and the algae that just killed him dude, ruined the last part of the plan, we can't do that now, okay JC. I have a uh, I have a better plan now that my friend is a plan that maybe not "We can cool off by swimming, but we have to travel to where your travelers are. Okay, then I guess we'll cool off with a can.

I guess we'll be strangers for a good start to the season, everything that, you know, we found. We're just going to convert that to diesel, we're going to put in Hooters, which is our new claim that we're working on, we're going to break a lot more tin bars, subscribe, hopefully this dam will refill at some point. and we can actually cool off, we usually throw this thing at the dam, that's how bad the drought is, see this is our pivot point, a couple more of these and you'll make it. I'm glad someone put these seats in. here, this is evil though, these weren't here last year, some good samaritan knocked them down oh no, this is cool, there's a little more water, it's not that bad, it's not that bad, so what's your plan now?

JC, you're leaving tomorrow, yes, we have to do it. go tomorrow come home fix the bus again make more fixes on the bus and then hopefully we'll be out again in a couple of months maybe so we might actually get it done by May but I don't know at the moment . I have to see that we will make it, we will definitely get out again during the winter and do some serious digging, but until then, you and US will have to hold down the fort. ME and US will get to work on the Hooters claim. and yeah, getting caught up again should be good for a lot of prospects with that Hooters statement, yeah well thanks for watching guys, see you next time.
