Baby Kangaroo Rescued An Thousands Made From Opal Fossicking!

It’s not every day rain falls in our small corner of the world, but when it does it’s time to fossicking.
With news that rain was on the horizon myself and my sister Elaura head to the opal fields to meet up with Noah to fossick for Opals.
On our way we made the sad discovery of a mother kangaroo hit by a car and the Joey left abandons in the pouch.
We stopped and I managed to remove the baby, we turned the car around and drove the 100kms to the nearest town with a wildlife carer Wilcannia.
After dropping him off we made our way back to unfortunately to late to begin fossicking.
Noah however had a busy day and found some fantastic gemstone!
The next day we set out as a team an managed to find a few nice bits and pieces as well as an old bottle with a marble inside.
I spent the afternoon cutting and rubbing the opals and some turned up quite nice, some didn’t make at all and some I still need to consider how to proceed before I finish them all up.
All in all a nice bit of weather and a good pocket full of opals.
We hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.

The bottle is a Japanese drink called Ramune. The cork is the marble you found inside. Typically once it's depressed into the bottle theres no way to close it. Looks like someone corked it

@jamesknight2198 2 ай бұрын

it is a Codds bottle, invented about 1880, used commonly until about 1920, revived for special drinks since. the gas pressure of the drink held the marble in place until the marble is pushed in letting gas . as children (1960s) we broke them to get the marble. an unbroken codds bottle might be valuable

That bottle is a Japanese orange flavored soda called ramune. It's an interesting bottle with a glass ball in the neck. But not very rare, or old. And all Foster's sold in America is made in Canada, and yet the commercials and ads always say "Australian for beer" it's funny. I never knew it was an actual Australian beer until this video. Learn something every time. Lol

@younggunsopalhunters Жыл бұрын

Hahaha that’s so random!

@dustyfarmer Жыл бұрын

That Codd bottle dates from the 1880's to 1920's so that's old in my book and there are neck variations like single pour side or double pour side marble retention not to mention embossed makers name types. They where made even rarer because kids used to smash the tops off them to get to the marble inside or they were burnt in rubbish pits and the glass discoloured from the heat. They are collected by antique bottle collectors and some makers can fetch big bucks. I sold a "time warp" and probably the only one in existence Schweppes Codd bottle still with its original paper label in very good condition to a collector in Hong Kong. There used to be good money in collector beer cans, old glass bottles & demijohns but I don't know what the market is like nowdays but it's still a nice collectable bottle from a few lifetimes ago.

@redeyestones3738 Жыл бұрын

Yes i will run into microcrysraline particals that will pop off and drag across the surface. Some times increasing water flow will fix or orie😅nting the stone parallel to the direction you were polishing. But alas there are are times when you have to say, "stop, that's enough." before you grind away the whole stone.
