Purchasing A $2000 Opal Mine!

Purchasing a $2000 opal mining claim!
There are many ways to secure an opal mine, the most common is to find a bit of ground that you have high hopes for and stake out your claim.
Another common method out on the opal field is to purchase an existing claim off someone who either doesn’t have the time to work it anymore or in the case of this mine, had gotten a little too old to be going up and down the ladder!
The benefits of buying an existing mine is that generally the previous miner can give you a good idea of what the ground is like and if it was producing much opal as well as at which levels.
It also means you can get started right away and continue digging on from where they left off.
Opal mining is always a gamble and you never know what you are going to get!
In our previous KZbin video you will notice I fossicked a lot of good opal in this area and that is the reason we decided to take over this claim.
The set up was pretty brief with some basic equipment our goal was to get digging as soon as possible. We really wanted to recuperate the funds we spent buying this claim right away.
Once we had lowered the gear into the mine we did a lot of pillar bashing and black lighting then we were lucky enough to break onto a small bit of colourful green and blue opal.
I’m confident that once that material is cut it will go along way to paying off this new mine!
Noah and I all in all where pretty stoked with how it turned out.
We unfortunately won’t be back in here digging for a while until we get a hoist or machine in place to move the waste dirt out of the mine.
I hope you all enjoyed the video, noah and I had a lot of fun exploring and mining in this new location.

When I was younger we were working an opal mine at Lighting Ridge. 40+ up top so headed down the shaft and got to the bottom of the ladder only to hear all this rustling in the tunnels. My eyes hadn't adjusted to the dark so my torch did stuff all and I completely crapped myself thinkig someone else was down there with me. Turned out to be frogs sliding down the dirt piles.

Hi guys. I've always wondered what you do about ventilation at the bottom of those mines. Do you have a blower up top to keep fresh air coming in?

[@1starshot]

I've done a fair bit of tunnel mining & it was the second thing that came to mind, for fresh air & dust removal. After watching him go down that ladder I'd be widening that entrance shaft first. It'd be a bugger trying to get someone out if injured. Need a gas detector down there too. Fluorescent ropes from exit to mine faces would come in handy, if they broke through to an underground spring & lights went out they could have a problem. Things can happen really fast in tunnels & many have died over the years.

The hard stuff is good. It holds up the ceiling. Might wanna put some wooden support beams up

Cant get out there for a few months boys but you can rest assured that I will be touching base before the end of the year. I would like to support you in your endevours to strike the mother lode and am sure that you have what it takes to chase your dreams to the end. I will keep in touch from time to time and keep watching your progress with rapt attention. I wont turn up without a few cartons and a good feed for the whole crew. In the meantime, keep on digging and working hard at it. Greetings from Gary at Caves Beach.

Hey Gary thanks as always for watching and taking the time to comment! Definitely come and say hello when you make it out and we’ll grab a beer or few 😂🤙🏻

@@younggunsopalhunters I tend to think that it may be a few more than a few. Looking forward to it boys. In the meantime, stay safe and continue making yourselves a few bucks.

This looks fun af for a hobby

[@younggunsopalhunters]

Best job we ever had

[@Flip_Goat]

Nice work boys! I’d love a break down of how much you make/time spend ect ect.

[@younggunsopalhunters]

We are surviving and growing each season, hard to put exact figures on it but everything we have made so far we have pretty much put back into the business. Will have to get into a cost break down later on, for now as long as we can keep the gear running and us hunting until we hit one of those million dollar pockets that’s enough for us!

[@Flip_Goat]

@@younggunsopalhunters love it. I’d love to know that side of it. Hopefully this haul buys you guys a carton or two!

[@Gran8te]

Great stuff fellas. Would like to see more uploads but will take what content you guys have the time to provide. I really like watching people search for new wealth, doesn't matter if its opal, gold, etc. always such an interesting process with interesting people. Cheers mates!

[@younggunsopalhunters]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! We will do our best to get more videos out it just take a lot of extra work to make them happen but it is wonderful to be able to share the journey with you all! I loved to do some proper gold hunting one day soon!
