Under the dark light of the turquoise moon(hypernova sun) the subtle fire shines as bright uranium glass.. It's hypernova season. Good luck to you bro. May the grace of the MightyApisBullUndyingSun Protect you.. Rock on.

Hey mate! Yes it’s from the red pocket in the video, there was maybe 7-8 stones in a little patch about the size of a hand palm. I promote the pieces from this pocket and some from other small pockets nearby to help show where we actually source the material. Thanks as always for the watch!

It's definitely a Doublet! About one tenth the price of an identical natural black or boulder Opal.

Thanks for watching mate! I have a permit and pegged the gound in accordance with the regulations, none of the ground was currently pegged or occupied by other permit holders and was all within the Coober Pedy Precious stones field. We can peg anywhere that is unclaimed within the fields and have 48 hours to give ‘notice of pegging’ which means I can peg a claim and put the days date on the pegs, I must take a survey relative to a datum peg and notify the mines dept within 2 business days or pull my pegs. If I notify, I then have a further 14 business days to decide whether i want to pay for a three month registration of the claim, if I still want it after that, I must pay for 12 months rego at a time. In this video I was jumping around with a valid set of pegs chucked around the ground with the days date on them, never stayed anywhere long enough to need more than that.

Oh yeah, the 4 inch auger was specially made many years ago by the late great Coober Pedy engineer Ross Chatfield, they are very hard to get now days with the brazed tungsten carbide tips but could me made to order in a big engineering workshop in the cities these days I'd say.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! And for your feedback, we are always looking to improve!

100👍

We will be listing one very similar at worldclassopal.net soon!

@@Opaldigger how can I contact you guys?

@@UknownRealEstateyou should be able to open a chat via our website and we can answer any questions you have there! Cheers!

Yes ir, We are allowed to peg a claim and have 48 hours to investigate with just the date of pegging displayed. After this time we must notify with a geolocation survey and we then have 14 days to decide to register or pull pegs.

Thank you so much 😊

Unfortunately it’s not all that great. I struggled to fit the tools, I think it may be good for some simpler jobs in the short term. I completely destroyed this halo but this was my first try. Will try again!

Thanks mate! Can’t wait to get back into it!

Not exactly, we have 48 hours to give ‘notice of pegging’ which means I can peg a claim and put the days date on the pegs, I must take a survey relative to a datum peg and notify the mines dept within 2 business days or pull my pegs. If I notify, I then have a further 14 business days to decide whether i want to pay for a three month registration of the claim, if I still want it after that, I must pay for 12 months rego at a time. It gives a fair bit of scope to dig around and maybe find a bit without having to pay but there are still rules.

BTW thanks for watching!

Haha! I identify as Jack Black.

Thank you! ‘Red Sauce’ true to its nickname haha.

Thanks again for watching guys! Apologies for the delayed response! The finished piece can be seen here: www.opalauctions.com/products/the-queen-5-huge-203cts-flawless-gem-aust-solid-opal-14k-gold-pendant-1476708

Haha, yes mate, it can be quite rewarding! The red stuff from Dead Horse Gully has me frothing about what might still be hiding somewhere..

Thanks mate, we certainly plan on not getting squashed wherever possible! 😅🙏

Thanks mate, that really means a lot. Hopefully we can make even more authentic adventures. Just gotta keep the camera rolling and the opal fields always have bloody awesome surprises, or at least stories.

If you visit Coober Pedy it’s not an impossibility!

No worries at all! Only it’s pretty much all in the form of finished jewelry at this point! 😬😁

Thanks mate! Yep, can’t wait to hunt in this same area again soon. Mouth watering colour!

Thanks mate! Much appreciated.

I did dig out the trace, there wasn’t much to speak of. It had some potential but in the hierarchy of possibilities it’s better left in search of something better. Thanks for watching!
