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 👌

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?
