Washing OPAL Dirt in A GIANT Cement Mixer - Digging for the Dream in Lightning Ridge

[@markplant3906]

Thanks for showing the tail out, I enjoyed that and I'm pretty sure others would too. I didn't expect a lot of opal that's the nature of the beast. But at least you are finding something. May I suggest sometime showing some of the opal up close. Cheers 😊

[@opalAdventures]

Yep, will put that in the next video and will try to getter better close ups in the future. I need a camera person. And I appreciate the suggestions, cheers.

[@opalAdventures]

Lol I was hoping someone would enjoy that, cause I kind of did :) - nice to get it com on camera, the rock got right close to the top too but then no :) We have much love for our American buddies too.

Hello again!!! Michigan is currently having winter, so i can't wash beach sand for gold or Indian arrow heads! Till April!!! Question??? Do you use a black light? Ive seen some use black lights! Just a pondering! Hello kiwi!! If you see unc tellem Michigan says hello!!!

[@opalAdventures]

Winter stopping you I would have never thought off seeing I've only seen light snow once, Yeah we have a blacklight, it's hard to film it (and not as useful in our area compared to others mining for Nobbies rather than seam opal) - but I'll try to get some footage of that soonish. Will definently bump into Unc soon and certainly say hello for you

[@JamesFoster-z9s]

@opalAdventures i appreciate the interaction!! We don't get much winter anymore!! -8 degrees that F° not sure on C°!!

[@opalAdventures]

omg that's unbelievable to me - it's can often be 105 degrees Fahrenheit here in summer - 127 Fahrenheit was the highest I've ever seen

[@JamesFoster-z9s]

@opalAdventures id melt!

[@Bullox505]

Opal mining you can go to work in the morning PooR and come home in the evening even POOReR😅

[@opalAdventures]

True most the time, however people do get lucky. Fingers crossed still.

[@Bullox505]

1 thing with mining you never know if you still poor until end off day

[@opalAdventures]

Hahaha so true!

[@Bullox505]

Mining you cant know where opal is unless you see it but. As long as you know where not to look is key. So at least you don't waist time there.

[@opalAdventures]

Yes, I try to learn this from the old timers but still am learning. We're at least getting SOME material now - as opposed to the 2 years we spent at Emu's out at Coocoran. Fingers crossed again.

[@Bullox505]

@opalAdventures field called emu here in coober aswell
