Great video! My first thought is that this is definitely not a woman's job. I would get to the bottoma and have to immediately pee 😂

I love Les and his mental arithmetic with buyers, the buggers want us to pay them to take the opal away. Mainly because of Les his cheek and dry humerus cracks, he comes out with and Rods ok too, he's like a bag of buggies in a airport wind sock, it will blow over. So Howl's you three going, not seen much of you lot lately, on Monday nights TV at the moment, we have on, the Aussie gold hunters not on lately, your show opal hunters. But can be picked up on repeats early morning or late at night if you can keep your eyes open to four in the morning or two in the afternoon. Mind you the Aussie gold hunters season 9 has just replaced you lot about 4 weeks ago and with a new show on crystal gem hunters on at 10pm and at 11pm with Jeremy Wade he's a fish guy who hunts large fish and deep sea monsters and those fish river fish that when buses and ferries go down and there are hundreds of stories of being bitten or attacked by something big from below around the world. It's nice to see a video or two now and again of Aussie opal hunters on KZfaq. Here it's half one in the morning Love mum

looks so exciting to be able to do that and must be gratifying when you find em

Secret Location..😂😂😂😂😂 I know exactly where you are…. You’re in Bloody Australia mate…. DUH 🙄

I wish you all the best and finding your opal.

I hope your family and friends tell you how proud they are of you, you guys rock! Or should I say opal

that tractor is fantastic Bush Engineering hahaha. love it! can't wait to see the gems you fellows pull out of that mine. looks like easy digging, but man, that heat must be crazy, tons of work indeed. must get cooler down in the hole though once its dug enough eh? haha, hope ye find a thousand Carat gem stone, or larger. make it big. 😎

I really hope to see a explosion of smaller rough stuff 2-5ct. its rough being in the usa trying to get into cutting as a hobby / hustle takes 3 -6 weeks just to get the material.

Sounds like you are selling smoke. You must be looking for investors

I'm for sure following you fellas now. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford one of them " big and cheesy" chunks...Hahaha...probly not..more like a rough chunk of potch. 🙄😆 Cheers from Michigan in the states brothers!! Keep digging, and keep that dream alive!! Stay safe too yeah?

I think you've done a brilliant job.I'm loved to see you guys giving this your all because I know how much it means to you keep going❤

ugh wish i had the money to get opal like this for my gem and rock collecting as a beautiful display pieces.

People reply im wrong. Wake up ....... The builder loss tools. They loss money can no work. Then People have home need repairs. What cost the most . People reply back . View all before a reply. Mick Australia 🇦🇺

There's no such thing as an opal God😂

Nice work

No gloves needed , hand made of leather... I can't take a shit a work without some ohs guy screaming where's your gloves pull your sleeves down . Keep up the good work lads

May i suggest a small bell to ring to let your helper know what to do whenever it's time to do it

BS artists !!!!

Frothing!!

Congratulations JZ on the latest young gun. Well done on that find as well, hope it’s rewarding. 👍👶🏻

Good going.

Secret opal mine worth millions Yeh right. All you are doing is filling a bucket with dirt. Poor video for you guys!

wish i could afford to buy high quality opal for my rock display. I currently have 5 pounds of african malawi agate nodules that i wish i could afford a hi tech lap saw to cut into XD.

Brilliant video. Make sure you walk around the shaker with the black light. Iam sure I saw colour. Good luck guys awesome team.

Huge fan of you all!! Just found your channel.

Can you not set up a windlass a get some air movement down there?

Love the mulga hopefully find some magpie

All I can say is go 20ft deeper find similar slip

Hello from New Chum, a single shaft with a monkey fair enough but you have never been in a shaft where the bucked jams and you have no way out I always work with two 32 inch and dig between the two and use the extra fifteen or so feet in the monkey to take up the distance to the second shaft before the bucket even makes its first drop , just a thought . Yes I know you have a crew on top that can even take up the bucket on the hoist or a winch no offence meant am an old school miner grey beard here have lived this long . Sweating yes as you have no air flow maybe run some ventilation from surface but I digress guess the UTube followers are unaware of mining here in the ridge no offence meant hope none taken . I will see myself out.

Beautiful

Keep it up lads

Would it be possible to reuse that water by pumping it up into a catch/settling tank?

Justin from black opal direct works with you guys he's posted videos cutting opals that he's purchased from you directly. He just posted a video of opal from a secret field that no one's allowed to talk about. And I know he works with these guys directly I wonder if Young guns have found a new opal bearing fiels

Somewhere right around the 3-minute mark there is a blue opal in the wall right above him and he hasn't seen it yet

Need a smaller hammer when you find the pockets. Stop breaking them and let the rock shop shape them.

You gotta love what you do!

hes the opal mining goat no doubt about it

The Rafiki moment was clsss 😂😂

I hope Lez found his beautiful retirement spot! Best wishes for both teams! Love how everyone works together!!!

താങ്കൾ ഒരുമഹാൻ ആണ് 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very nice colours to the team young guns. There are some really nice pieces there great job.

Do you ever check your discarded dirt for opal?

Fantastic video guys! Fingers are crossed you hit some big red crumpets soon!

Anyone else see an opal above his machine @3 minutes and 11 seconds

You Australian guys are so lucky to have rich minerals that close to the surface on your land.

Ì'm way of being an expert here, but is there movement in that ground? Asif it's pushing out like a tube of toothpaste to the borehole.

That's a crazy piece!

EPIC! Red on black coming right up! 🙂

Awesome guys. Glad you are at it! I’m excited for your season and hope you hit the biggest pocket ever. God bless your efforts! Big fan of all the community and the interplay of everyone in lighting ridge. You guys all bring a story of hard work, dreams, and adventures with sides of friendship & family to thousands of people.

I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
