I found you guys from Justin at Black Opal Direct ! I really enjoy watching you guys digging the Opals as gives me a look at how much work is involved with getting Opals ! Thank you Mates for sharing this adventure with me ! I live in the United States in the state of Kansas almost in the middle of the United States !

[@younggunsopalhunters]

Justin is a legend! We actually did a bit of a video with him a while back! As soon as I find some more opal worthy of the master I’ll have to see if he will cut it!

[@greatplainsman3662]

What a title and of course it's going to get attention a Secret Mine. I've got to click it! Nice to see colour and potential. Luck is slow to come and maybe some are happy to wait. You've got to position yourself for luck. I think you've done very well guy's, I'm excited for you all. Because that's how it happens. Stay safe all of you and best wishes.

[@teuviraupokotea4830]

Amazing 👏 to see the A-Team back

[@younggunsopalhunters]

We back alright!

[@antnewbon2673]

Hey JC, loved your series. Grate work with discovery. Its better to work than have a silver spoon i guess. G colour at 320 odd. Oh and use those meat scoops.

[@purplepeakss]

yeah the boiz of the australian opal dynasty unite!!! awesome to see you guys digging some fresh drives and to watch the whole process from bore hole to actual diggings all im wondering is can you smoke a bong down in the mines? (for purely medical reasons) ;)

[@nickfranklin1867]

Good luck boys, hope you find your millions!

[@maxtheyouth]

crazy hole , have fun be safe and hope for the best

[@elishagreen2954]

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.

[@MrAirblown2009]

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

[@uglenddalejones2]

Doing well team . . Looking forward to the next one . . Bye from NZ🍻👋🇳🇿twa

How nice you are able to work with Les and Rod. So what was the deal they all dinging was forbitten and they could not dig anymore? Hope yall hit the jackpot , hope Les can retire one day. All the best. ❤

[@JB-hw5sb]

Young Guns plus Bush Men is the dream team! Im currently enjoying season 2 of Red Dirt Road Trip, its great to see Rod and Les working with you lot.

[@annakeye]

You guys are the real deal. Aussie weirdos for sure, but damned entertaining and hard working. Long may your team endure and soon your fortunes rise. _Kia Kaha_ (stay strong)

[@donniebooth8478]

I missed seeing all of you I got use to watching all of the opal miners and I run out of videos to watch I’m so happy to have you back

[@Opaldigger]

EPIC! Red on black coming right up! 🙂

[@PS3HENMan]

Rod and Les mate, seem like two top blokes, same with you three. Shame the show didn't let you's cross over more, JC's and Rod's show was unreal, shame it was only one season! I hope they paid you all decently for the episodes you did.

[@Spudscave]

David I have just watched the whole of season two on Discovery plus here in the UK it was absolutely amazing

[@stephenedwards3095]

Love the mulga hopefully find some magpie

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Have you thought about using a couple of piece's of pvc 6 inch pipe as air pipe with a small air pump behind the ladder?

[@williamjohn1815]

Interesting to see how an opal mine is started. Great attitude awesome team the big one is just waiting for you. Thanks

[@Tom-ce8ib]

You guys should consider using the waste to berm up around your shaft/claim so if and when it rains, you can keep the water at bay. It's good to see young blokes with ambition. Keep it up, guys.

[@dr.floridaman4805]

The water still soaks through the ground and ends up in the tunnels. You think your bright cause your mama called you sun

[@Tom-ce8ib]

@dr.floridaman4805 No, you're wrong, mate. My mom said I was bright because I'm not from shitsville, USA.🤣👍

[@samseeley1853]

Super stoked to see both teams in on this one! But one question, I’m sure you’ve seen many times, so sorry for being another one asking…. But what’s the crack with mining? I didn’t think you was allowed to mine claims unless they are registered for at least 15 yrs? What’s happened to show “outback opal hunters”, it’s left me in the dark 🥺😩 Be lucky gentleman, much love from Essex in England 👌

[@bobm5500]

Go for it , just wish I was there .

[@kevinkentucky9972]

Keep it up fellas. You will find your mother load eventually. We all feel it!

[@sirspikey]

very exciting, want to be there digging too. Not knowing anything about mining; don't you need some ventilation down there?

[@danielmacdonald5631]

Ground is perfect good luck

[@bubbag9952]

❤ watching you guys hope you hit the mother load . keep up the amazing finds and be safe in your searching! 💯

[@MrComfyAustralia]

Great to see you have a sponsor to help with funding etc.. Great vid

[@karolschulz48]

I am new to watching Opal harvesting. So new this is the first time I have watched ANY video about it. I'm from the United States, please don't hold that against me. It's election year so until people here come back to normal I am watching so I can learn about Opal collections. So I have lots of questions. How deep do you have to go down to find them and what is the type of stone they are found in? What are they made up of?

[@samanthajones4101]

they are found in potch!

[@KEEGZ90..]

Rod and les my fav by far but jc you kill it mate 🍻💪

Those colours off opal are amazing

[@Briebabcock8052]

Do y'all have plans or anything about the head frame for the skip?

[@Ergo_Pr0xy]

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.

[@randyethier8732]

Not sure if this is recent video if you could talk about what’s going on with the claims down there

[@richardcardwell8882]

Keep it up guys im sure yous will find that big hoard of opal good work Richy Washington, England

Nice Job good Lucky

[@TheJasonolger]

Now the two of you teaming up is a show in itself. The only reason I am watching last season is because of Ron and Les. I can only hope to be mining at Let's age

[@JB-hw5sb]

Im just waiting for "pickle me grandmother, its big and its cheesy!"

[@SarahHanna-s2c]

Did you look through the pile for opal before you ran it over with loader

[@younggunsopalhunters]

No we wanted it to be flat hahaha most of the opal we pick out before it goes up, what leaves the mine in the bucket is waste dirt

[@SarahHanna-s2c]

Love the bushmen so much

[@younggunsopalhunters]

They are amazing at what they do! Lots to learn on this new field from them !

[@jlush444]

Well done boys.

[@cryptoscalpers9603]

why don't you guys run some concertina pipe down there with a fan on it at the top, blowing air down there to cool things down?

[@younggunsopalhunters]

Definitely the plan for next trip!

Well ..congratulations Boys on your new mine clam.. So let your new Opal adventure start. I definitely will be watching how you guys progress.. Cheers from fellow KZbinr Famo59 ..Tony 👍⛏️

An old Bush way to fix a flat tyre… cut a square flap in tyre so it will be closed on forward drive/rotation… stuff the tyre full of spinifex grass… that’ll get you to a place where you can change tyre.
