Opals in AU? Thought they were in the African continent only. Cute dog. Nice looking kids. Wonder if there are spectrometer machines that can find the color.

There are also Opals in the US.

African opals are cheap and nowhere near as good. Can't even get them wet

Australia has opal mined over 100 yrs... and yes we use UV light because opal is fluorescent

The Cheals are always whining about being broke even after making $500,000.

So you think running an operation like that costs nothing? Breakdowns cost money, some repairs on large equipment can get into high tens of thousands of dollars, fuel is around AU$2.50 - $3.00 per litre where they are. There's council rates, water licences, equipment maintenance, food, power generators .....I can go on and on.

@@auintogold4725He really could keep going on and on. He also has a partner, so its immediately split 50/50. All his kids get a percentage of that as well, plus bills at home and whatnot. You think it's a lot of money, but when you haven't found any opal in 6 months, with all the costs to operate, that money goes fast. You know nothing about this business if you think 500k makes you set for a lifetime. 😂

I wonder if it is a Media Scripted TV Proformer thing where they are Down on their Luck and constantly mention outgoing costs and then exuberance when they hit a valuable pocket and that way they get the POP and BANG of contrasting emotional energies that makes for interesting TV ? It's just like Deadliest Catch or Gold Rush with Parker's exploits that makes me wonder if it's scripted and designed to be like this for the TV Producers. Interestingly neither the Opal miners, Deadliest Catch or Gold Rush mention how much they get in Royalties from the stories aired on KZbin or TV

@@alistairmills7608 I saw a KZbin video where an older cast member (Justin) had his own channel. In one of the videos they found opal, and they said opal hunters didn't want to record them anymore because they had no luck finding opal. They were basically just bragging that they find opal sometimes. It's reality TV so their history of being shady has been documented. Usually it's reenactment, like if they weren't there filming when a big find happened, they'd do it over for the cameras. Thankfully on opal hunters you usually get to see them digging it out of the wall, which would mean they just have to press record and cross their fingers. No way of faking that part.
