Well done guys 👍 You don't need fake mainstream Media. Keep up the good work. 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪

2:00 This is thousands of dollars per ounce. (Tosses it into a bucket) Note: Size matters. Treat it better than that.

I've got internet opal fever!!! Love watching hard working people making great finds!!! Good luck mate's!!

Justin, I've watched you for a couple of years. I've seen your highs and lows. You deserve every penny.

you can tell it's Australia because all the flies are upside down.

Hey Justin, how about a follow-up video showing how much good material yall found on this patch. It looks like you got some very nice large pieces. It's so rare to find black opal in coober pedy.

If I was an Aussie I would without a doubt be digging in the dirt , thanks for sharing fellas buzzin for ya.

Could someone explain me why so many opal hunters are throwing their rocks in buckets while the opal itself is many times fragile and they tell each other not to bash the hammer on it?

23 years ago I was lucky enough to stay in Coober Pedy. I can vouch for the heat 😅 I was lucky to visit a working mine and find a tiny finger nail sized bit of opal that I have treasured and display to this day. Slept underground. Played golf ⛳️ on sandy course. Was driven mad by flies And shared a few tooeys old tinnys with a couple of locals. Happy memories and with my experience I feel a little bit of the life and dreams you are living. Best of luck from Northumerland.

An old Opal miner once said to me, "If someone claims to have made a million dollars from opal the part they didn't tell you was over the years it probably cost them 1.5 million dollars to find them?

If Australia ever finds a way to turn flies into gold they could buy the rest of the world 100 times over.

Flies look brutal guys! Get it all!

A couple of good blokes that deserve this well earned find, so many episodes doing it tough getting nothing but you kept on keeping on. Good on ya's 👍

Good god!! A real eureka moment. When all is said and done you WILL be millionaires.

Omg!..you guys did fantastic mate!,, keep the color coming mates!

We are just seeing this series in New Zealand now and I absolutely love watching Justin. He so has rhe passion to get his dream.

Justin is my favorite opal hunter. He deserves this find. Happy for both of you!

I love watching this, but I don't think I could do it. I can't imagine having to deal with all the flies out there!

I don't know how you stand the flies! That would drive me crazy! Great finds though!

Apparently the real fortune to be made there is in bug zapper and bug repellent sales.

please sell it to Black Opal Direct so we get to watch it all being cut and polished ;)

Good to see you guys team up! Go the boys 🤙

Wow...bloody good show fellas!! Cheers!!

I woke my girlfriend up laughing when he said "don't put it on your head ya bloody dickhead" lmao.

Justin you are the MAN!!!!

You little beauty!!! Bloody great work guys 😎🙌

So happy for you Both. My Favourite Opal Hunters. You Deserve It

I wanted to see you take it to a buyer, see how much it’s worth.

Love it! Goodonya!

Congrats on that jackpot!

Yeah that red sandstone It makes good boulder's too in Qld. Nice work gentlemen.

Great find guys, I find lots of fire agate out here in Arizona but I'm still hoping and praying I'll find some precious opal and have a day like you guys had, again, great find.

Enjoy watching your searching for opals.

Happy for you!

I'd camping there in the cut so the rats don't get a whiff. Becareful fellas and congratulations!

I find myself swatting at my face with the flies! Awesome find

Got yourself an amazing guide an mentor with John

Great job and the black red opals are best!

wicked stuff boys love the excitement haha fingers crossed ya hit that motherlode

Hi all, finding all that opal makes up fo those days when you found nada zilch zero ........ Excellent work guys....... S.A here crow eater... oi oi oi...

The flys must drive you to the brink of going insane

Killer score guys!

That is so awesome

As the best ground petered out, shaft mining is uneconomical, so they dug with big excavators next to the old mines to find the smaller veins and pockets.

Well done fellas. That’s a good day..

Given that opal glows under UV light, I do wonder how much unauthorised wombling around goes on at night by the light of blacklights, picking up bits the daytime miners have missed?

These are just a few pieces of silica glass.😂😂😂 Congratulations !!!

Unbelievable awesome job 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good luck to you both & keep digging 👍

Seems like they destroy possibly larger stones by the excavator, picks and hammering. Hard to imagine the small pieces can be made into anything of value but then they sound happy. The flies would drive me mad!!!

Have any one of you offered a week's vacation to the America's for a guided tour and opal mining at the real mines? Could be a gold mine miracle by itself!

Thats awesome boys would have been an amazing feeling of relief and excitement.

Absolutely beautiful!! I enjoy cutting opal and watching the colors appear. It is so much fun and relaxing too.

Well done boys hope you find more, stay safe

Wow wow wow wow wow wow!!! Frikken score, boys!!!

dig dig keep on diging

Congratulations!!! You deserve it God knows just for dealing with those flies!!!

No amount of opal/money would get me around that many flies lol

Are those flys.. damn!

That material looks like an ancient riverbed.

So fucking awesome! I'm so happy for you guys!

great video

You don't need a camera crew. You guys are doing great!

make another of the total amount,QUICK!

I knew away back, when you got years of local experience and knowledge beside you, it would come up trumps.

Guys get a Black tent and use UV light then you can see the veins in daylight

you never take a sower or why so much flies around you?

wow those flies would drive me nuts .its like the flies dont bother you good job ...From Ontario Canada we dont get flies like that

Just a few flies....however brilliant find well done

LIVING THE DREAM!!!!! GO DOWN ANOTHER 15 METERS!!!!!

its like finding and following the ripple of fudge in your ice cream ... but a lil better

I remember when I was 7 years old I live in a place where they had dirt roads and I saw a rock that had a red streak and it looked like glitter inside , I dug it out of the road there was no traffic about, I carried it around all day and then I threw it into some long grass and only years later I started to think that it could been worth something, but whatever it might of been worth it would have been spent long ago.

Great more videos please WA.

About bluddy time lads, there's some nice colour too, just a heads up keep all small finds as other have been selling for a fortune on etsy, ebay and even amazon, iv been eyeballing a parcel from eBay approx 6 grams, its listed at 5 cts, but either way even if I get that single colour and the rest is poch I really don't care it supports all you opal hunters

Awesome lifestyle 😊

With this kind of find, you'll need to go at night with blacklight.

Cracked it

Well done Justin. When you could have walked away, you stayed. The harder ya work, the luckier ya get.👍

It is interesting job

Congratulations

LOVE THE EXCITEMENT, AWESOME FIND. ALTHOUGH I CRINGE WHEN YOU TOSS THEM AROUND.

i wouldn't be able to work there without a head net...so many flies

My brother bought podge opal with some bits of colour back in the early sixties for 2 shillings a bag .

The bugs!!! 😬

Shows us more, daily digging.

At least you dont have to worry about flies

Can't wait to swing a pick up there one day soon I got opal in my blood i found a black Opal all the colours of the rainbow amazing red an purple an the most amazing part of my little story was it was found in malaney in Qld 25 years ago

Brilliant! Is that yellow due to sulpha?

Is that why you two haven’t featured in the new seasons of the show due to the film crew thinking there was nothing there?

Damn! look at all those flies. And they are surrounded by dirt and rock.

👍👍

Does Justin still mine opal? Why are you not on opal hunters? Love to know the story.

Ahahahahaha the flies ahahahahaha AUSTRALIA REPRESENT

Hey Justin I'd love to come out next season and have a crack at the opal mining game.. I should come and tag along with you and John, I'd make a great hard working addition to your team. Let me know

Fantastic but is there a market for jewelry these days?

Do u grid Them .....? For final result

How are the missies. Do they bite

I couldn't handle the flies!

"It's worth thousands of dollars per ounce!" Tosses it in a bucket. chip chip

I call Monday nights gold night good on em
