This is a lesson in parenthood. Patience, anxiety, encouragement, pride, frustration, teacher, love - you've done very well here.

[@IdahBros]

Thanks for that comment!

[@silvergirl7810]

I love that you’re letting your son learn to do that- the smallest bit of damage can’t compare to the priceless lessons learned, confidence, work ethics and family camaraderie you’re building. Most parents set their kids in front of a screen. Great job! ❤

[@IdahBros]

Thank you! I try to let him get the most and learn out of every experience, I’ve never been one to enjoy taking those learning experiences away from him.

[@annfarmer9704]

that young man is awesome! hard worker and businessman!

Thank you!!

[@staceyroberts3468]

Thanks for sharing that. Your little man is a one-man excavator, unstoppable digging machine, that's cool that he enjoys a good hobby. This earned you a new sub.

[@marycompogno5665]

That's pretty cool! That's such a lovely deep blue and vibrant opal. Would love to get some! Looks like fun. Would be a nice trip and place to check out. 😊

[@wuwayfunzay]

This kid will remember this the rest of his life. But seriously He really needs to unionize

[@rachaelb9164]

That thing is amazing. Such a pretty blue too. Being in a rock club is awesome, especially when it gives you access to really nice claims like this. I would love if my club should do a claim swap with yours. We have a couple thundereggs claims.

[@IdahBros]

That would be sweet!

[@MarsG0Dofw4r_]

Great job getting that out buddy, don't listen to the comments, it's just a rock.

[@IdahBros]

the negatives dont bother either of us. We just laugh about them haha but thank you!

[@jameshatchett8095]

So, I have a couple of spots for this material. What do you do with it? I brought a few chunks home but they just sit out in the back yard. They tend to crack and fade with sun exposure.

[@IdahBros]

we keep ours in a bucket of water to avoid sun exposure and fading. Opaltends to dry out over time and crack because of its high water content.

[@IdahBros]

were hoping to start cabbing and making jewelry with some in the future

[@richardtaihitu8998]

Salam kenal dari Jakarta INDONESIA.

[@reginaditt128]

What a haul. Great job Payton. What do you do with it now? Do you cut it, make jewelry and or sell it? No matter what it is beautiful.❤

[@IdahBros]

still planning on learning to cab jewelry and other ways to make good use of the stuff we have

[@reneehailey4462]

I'd be like a kid in a candy shop

[@IdahBros]

we both were!

[@biker9835]

Same i love opals more than any other rocks they are fun to make jewelry with

[@802Hunts]

Mega score guys

[@IdahBros]

thanks for watching!

[@Goldhunter7769]

Thanks for posting this video. Brings back some fun memories when I lived there. I had found a nice spot myself loaded with the same type of thunder eggs and blue opal. Amazing stuff and definitely has value! I was digging around marsing myself, I have a couple old videos of those eggs on my channel if your curious, subscribed!

[@IdahBros]

Thanks for the comment we will have to check your page out and watch the videos!!

[@XxXZakOffXxX]

Where was this again? My kids and i got into rock hunting and would love to check this out

[@IdahBros]

This was on a claim out toward the Owyhee mountains. If you’re interested in getting access to contact Idaho Rocks & Gems and let them know I sent ya.

[@lordeagle100]

Is there any fire i. Them or is it just blue posh

[@IdahBros]

No fire in these ones but we have found some fire opal in a diff spot

[@boopunn]

I would like to get some of that blue opal but I am in Missouri. Any chance I could buy a piece from you? I usually cut Australian opal but I would like to see how the blue comes out in a polished stone. Reply with an email address and we can talk. Thanks

[@IdahBros]

Dm me on instagram let’s swap Aussie for blue

[@boopunn]

@@IdahBros I dont have Insta. You got a facebook page?

[@aehave6855]

[@IdahBros]

Thanks for the advice I’m gonna check that out!

[@spaztic1]

@IdahBros its like a pry bar at one end a chisel at the other end, mega durable, I've had one for 30 years and bought a new one just before I sadly had to retire due to bad knees. :(

[@lizbethmontelongo4858]

Is this dig site private to the club? Im in idaho and would love to go check this place out :)
