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

in this big look at that that's cool i'm a little chip here even that one has a little bit of color in it you know what that is? it probably happened this is one of those holes where um Old-Timers have been sitting next to the hole making fire at night going through the

opal

and all the parts they just throw it down the hole next to it and it's all I ended up at the bottom of this for us to find out how cool the story the

opal

tells is. I only have, um, 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 all looks like cleared up, yeah I can start on that if you want, you're just going to get on with it, Yeah I'll check this out, this is pretty much done, but I'll keep checking. i'll go down a bit more and see if it still works because if it still works if it's like all the way up the shaft will you go through this for the next few days really yeah ok so you want me to move? this big pile of

dirt

here over there so you have more room to knock down more and that way you can keep digging longer while I'm not 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'm going to miss the good part, but I'm actually quite interested to see how some of those opals cut like they look spectacular abroad. I'll get to Cotton. Good luck. some more

gems

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

gems

into some diesel oil what we're becoming so I'm in The Cutting Room now and I'm about to get started what we're going to do first is basically just remove each individual piece of opal to remove as much

dirt

as possible so we can see what material we actually have to work with and then after that you know we're going to do it. take a better look at the material decide what shapes we're going to cut and then finish but I'm not going to film too much here just because I want to get it done as quickly as possible and I'll show you guys the end result so let's get started thanks well guys I've I've been cutting for a while and I think we've got some absolutely amazing stuff, especially those red things like that that come out absolutely beautifully, um, what am I going to do? now it's basically finishing everything myself.

I'm going to take our templates. I'll know, I'll decide what kind of shapes I'm going to make. I'm not going to do too many freeforms. I'll stick to some more traditional shapes that are a bit more easily sold, but yeah, I'll be working on most of this myself. I'm not really going to film. much more just because I want to focus on cutting the material so they can jump straight to the end result, we're going to switch to foreign fantastic Stones. I'm heading now to the camp to show JC the final result, but I think he's going. to be happy enough i know i'm fine let's show JC the gems JC take a look oh bro they cleaned up real good they came out pretty good got my damn cookie remember how we said there it will be like what was around 500 a thousand yeah that's gotta be a thousand bucks brother Stone I think we all end up with yeah a couple thousand

dollars

worth

of opals just for cleaning out an old spindle, cutting a new air hole, how cool is that. guys who have left it behind and that's what they get that's what they've left behind guys they're just veterans thanks to the old days yeah thank you and praise the veterans well JC there's one thing left to do jump al ute brother, look. that's what we want water in there not much water that sure must have been a rough summer I don't think we can use the rope swing it's like less than half full oh it's like all green and the algae just killed it dude it ruined the last part of the plan, we can't do that, now it's okay JC, I have a, uh, I have a better plan now that my friend is a plan that maybe not being able to cool off with a bath, but we have to travel where your travelers, uh, okay, Then I guess we'll cool off with a can. we're just going to convert that to diesel we're going to set up hooters which is our new claim we're working on we're going to crack a lot more tin stick around subscribe hope this dam fills up again at some point and we can actually cool off we usually pull this thing into the dam that's how bad the drought is look this is our tipping point a couple more of these and you'll be done I'm glad someone put these seats up. here though this is wicked they weren't here last year a good samaritan has knocked them down oh no this is great there's a little more water not too bad not too bad so what's your plan now?

JC: you're leaving tomorrow yeah we have to go tomorrow go home fix the bus again more fixes on the bus and then hopefully we'll be out again in a couple of months a few months maybe so We could actually make it to May, but I don't know at this point. we've got to see we'll definitely get it we'll be back out for the winter and to do some serious digging then but until then you and US will have to keep up the strong selves and WE get to work on the Hooters claim and yes getting stuck again should be nice to a lot of prospects with that Hooters statement yeah well thanks for watching guys see you next time.
