That Bolder Opal came out looking very nice! They would make some really unique belt buckles, like plenty of guys wear here in Texas. Especially during rodeos! Gotta have your western shirt, jeans, belt buckle, cowboy boots and hat!
Well done Lad’s! Great to see you trying different ways to keep your dream alive. I’m pretty sure that 99% of the viewers are hoping that you three bust your targets and head into hyper Opal territory. Good luck 😉.
Thank you for watching we have an awesome time doing this job and definitely hold onto the hope of hitting the big one! If one day we do it will be our please to share with everyone that story!
@@younggunsopalhunters Nice video! Could you guys tell us a bit about yourselves, your backgrounds, how you got into this business, what your plans for the future are, and who were all those people who had pizza with you?
Reminds me of the time I took hammer to my moms limestone rockery, looking for fossils.....I got a fair bit of gravel, a nice fish fossil and a thick ear from my mom..........The good times! Nice one lads.
Definitely will next time just had a lot on and it take so much extra time to film each bit! We have done some cutting and polishing in previous videos. Will have to do it again next time :)
Thanks for watching for us it’s all about the adventure that’s the pay off! Though finding a few shinny rocks here and there to pay the bills certainly keeps us out here!
Nice work guys. The videos are looking great. Nice looking pizzas. My 2 parcels that I purchased from your part of the world are stuck in Chicago and Los Angeles. And so it goes. Be safe out there. Thanks.
Hahah thanks for watching we still have an awesome time making outback opal hunters though it definitely is nice to just play around in the rocks and film some fun casual videos ;)
Hell yeah boys. That's the way to do it. The fact that ya know how to cut nice stones from your material gives you a great advantage if you're buying parcels like this. Even small stones are full of promise ive noticed. And folks love buying 1ct. Ringstones because they sit in a more affordable price range for the average hobby jeweler. Imo 30 minutes per stone, sell the stone for 50 bucks usd is a pretty decent hourly wage. All depends on what bills you gotta pay though! Always love to see you guys win! Keep it up and be safe out there! ❤
Thank you for watching! We love every aspect of this job and it’s such a privilege to be able to do this. Cutting opal is one of my favourite parts. Usually I just put on and audio book and go for hours!
What a brilliant video. Thanks for sharing this with us, guys. Say 'kia ora' from me, down here in Aotearoa-New Zealand, to the family. They look like a lively bunch.
@@younggunsopalhunters I should've mentioned that Noz looks like quite the pizza chef. I know I'm going to sound like some mad old aunty when I say this but it is enormously gratifying to see you guys develop into confident young men in front of the camera. You both just seem more relaxed as if it's just all part of your day. Okay, carry on. _Kia kaha_ (stay strong)
Honestly that was exactly my thoughts purchasing the potch if there is nothing worthwhile then at least I’ll have a lifetime supply of doublet backing 😂 got lucky 😉
You gents are living my dream but what you do isn't easy work. You guys work your a$$es off. Good on ya! I hope you sell some of that huge black potch. It's really difficult to find black potch that large and it's all worth money. Great job on the video, looked very professional.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment we appreciate the support! It’s a tough job and take a lot more work to share and make the videos but we love sharing the experience and connecting with people all over the world! We definitely will have to make some of the black potch available!
Hi all, you guys should be very proud of yourselves!!..... I'm really impressed, your so young with a good head on your shoulders.. Stay down to earth (pardon the pun) stay safe... Adelaide South Australia here oi oi oi
Glad you were able to find some beautiful stone out of that! And looked like happy times at the end with your family Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up as a support
Love to see you boys doing good!! Keep up the great vids! I love em haha. You guys have built my love for opal so much more! Thank you for that, cheers,
Thank you so much for watching! Very glad you enjoyed this one a little different to our usual videos but thought everyone might like to see some of the other ways we try to make a living off opal and the risks we take 😂🤞
Oh i love you guys and the work youre doin, to be honest im eager to take the trip all the way from denmark, to the outback opal fields just to follow in your footsteps
@@younggunsopalhunters say hello i would, getting rid of me again you wont :D but still i need to cross half of the planet just to get there, so why not try to make it a stay
Keep it up guys! Its great to see you here, cause discovery ain't showing season 8 of opal hunters to those of us in the USA and I've missed seeing yall kickin ass and taking pillars 🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha thanks for watching legend! We have a great time doing outback opal hunters but we are also really loving creating some of our own content! Hopefully eventually they will air the show more in the US!
Thumbs up for you guys. Go on and never give up. Maybe there will be a day when i can buy some rough opal stuff from you. Amazing to see that motivation
I love how you incorporated the payoff and the family scene at the end of you all enjoying the rewards of your hard work. Excellent brotha! Well done and keep it up!
freaking unbelievable well worth the gamble can't wait to see you get back in the mine and find more opal. and i still wish i could come down there and help you guys. best wishes stay safe.
Good job men , you are very interesting to follow . You have found some good gems in your mind and this video , with what you paid for was a good idea and worked out very well .. Didn't have to dig it .. 😅 but I think it was well worth changing tactics.. an other way, seems very smart guys ..👍😎🇦🇺
Seems like it's bloody good money in opals so long as you put some hard yakka in, and determination. Patience goes a long way also haha. Great job guys, worked out to be a decent payday in the "lucky dip" haha. Best of luck with the mine, hitting the motherload one day, future opal and life en devours. Super chilled community / lifestyle in the "Sticks". Pretty untamed area as a whole in those parts of the country, which is great for you guys haha :)
You blokes are all over it. Purchasing mines for a few bucks and making money on it. Searching through the old diggings and finding useful opal that has been left behind. Now this, buying a few buckets of rough and finding a profit amongst them. Tell you what, I wouldnt mind throwing some money in your direction in a couple of months and seeing what transpires if you like.
Hey Gary as always thank you for the kind words and support! Definitely doing all we can to make the most out of opal! Have you got me as a friend on FB ? If not send me a friend request we have somthing in the works that will be announced a little later in the year if all goes well that you might will give our friends and family a chance to get involved if they wish :) All the best, Jaymin Sullivan 🤠⛏
nice score and so glad i found your channel have not watched opal hunters for a wile but i prefire your yourtube videos over that show keep up the good work
Great video, nice payday, nice opal, alot less dangerous sitting in the sun, let someone else do the dodgy stuff and reap the rewards. Keep it up boys.🚀
@@younggunsopalhunters I've seen you three on discovery multiple times , but its random whether or not some of my favorite opal hunters are on a given episode. I'll be watching all you vids and as per my modus operandi being a pest in comment section. Gotta help the algorithm
@@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751 yeah the show is a little random with which teams are on as they have quite a few of us, all good people but :) Much appreciated if we keep growing at this rate then hopefully we can dedicate more time to content creating.
This is a really cool channel to find! I recently got married and the engagement ring I got her was an opal. All the research I did got me really into opal. I still don't have a ring yet, I might get one from the Etsy store because the story would be cool getting it from people I saw on youtube. I'll be watching to keep track of progress. Who knows: Maybe you'll find some incredible opal and i'll get to buy my wife a new stone. 😁
Thanks! We have only really just started to get into Boulder opal mining and buying but it definitely is used in jewellery it’s actually one of my favourite types of opal!
I know people want to know what we make off it and how much things are worth so will definitely try to give you all a better idea on that sort of thing!
Love your content guys though I have to say you definitely should have been slicing that Boulder opla with a saw you lost a little money on that would also love to see the actual cutting process should definitely try to record that keep up the good work boys
With the hammers we are really only breaking away the excess ironstone. All of the goo stuff with potential get sliced. Would love to record more of the process for you guys though had a lot to get done, next time tho!
@@younggunsopalhunters Gonna have a look into it! Cheers for the replies :). Opal mining does look cooler though if you's are ever in need of another young gun I'd definitely apply haha
That Bolder Opal came out looking very nice! They would make some really unique belt buckles, like plenty of guys wear here in Texas. Especially during rodeos! Gotta have your western shirt, jeans, belt buckle, cowboy boots and hat!
Hahah I love that! We will have to make some one day. Best burger I have ever had was a blue cheese burger in Texas!

Well done. The boulder opal is just stunning. Love that the most.
💯 agree with you there Boulder opal is truely the most earthy gem out!
Way to boys,👍. You guys are rich already.. look around you at that family you got. Can't put a price on that. Good on ya.
Definitely! The adventure itself is worth it.
woudl be cool to include footage of you actually cleaning up the stones!
Definitely will next time just had a lot on and it take so much extra time to film each bit! We have done some cutting and polishing in previous videos. Will have to do it again next time :)
Well done not just for the opal, but the content of your videos. Honest and straight forward, really enjoy watching your channel.
Thanks for watching for us it’s all about the adventure that’s the pay off! Though finding a few shinny rocks here and there to pay the bills certainly keeps us out here!
Sweet !!! I'm so jealous!! Thanks for another great video 🤠👍🇬🇧
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the Video, more from this. Greetz from Germany.
Thank you for watching!
Great job guys! Wicked video. Keep chasing that color

Very awesome 👍 great job glad your finding opal

This is so much better than the discovery Channel hahahahaha. Yall are great i especially liked the ending with the family meal! Also nice score!!!
Hahah thanks for watching we still have an awesome time making outback opal hunters though it definitely is nice to just play around in the rocks and film some fun casual videos ;)

Could be in the cards 😉
Loved this. Well done. Likes the pizza at the end too. Made me realise I'm hungry.

Every opal in the bucket helps ;)
Good to see you Lads came through the Floods ok.
We where definitely lucky to not have been affected by them.
Great content and finds! You guys definitely need your own show...cheers from CA
Hahaha thanks we are actually from the Discovery Channel tv show outback opal hunters just wanted to create some of our own vids too :)
@@younggunsopalhunters no way lol super cool, now I really gotta check you guys out! Hope to one day visit Lightning Ridge!!
Thumbs up for you guys. Go on and never give up. Maybe there will be a day when i can buy some rough opal stuff from you. Amazing to see that motivation
Very cool. Great to see you finding gems in the low grade piles. Those pizzas looked pretty good too. Thanks for sharing, good luck out there guys.
Definitely can’t underestimate low grade material!
I love how you incorporated the payoff and the family scene at the end of you all enjoying the rewards of your hard work. Excellent brotha! Well done and keep it up!
I love to you young men doing well. I'm rooting for you from a small, rural community in Mississippi, USA.
Thank you for the support! Would love to visit Mississippi one day :)
freaking unbelievable well worth the gamble can't wait to see you get back in the mine and find more opal. and i still wish i could come down there and help you guys. best wishes stay safe.
A very lucky gamble! Better then a poker machine or lottery ticket 😂 if you ever make it out this way come say hey 👋🏻
Love the Channel! Quality of the videos is one of the best iv'e ever seen almost Discovery Channel like.
Thanks for watching! We hope to have some more videos out soon hopefully with some massive opal finds as well :)
Very good content, only problem is we need more!, Thanks guys!
Hahahaha legend! Thank you for watching we will do our best to bring out more content asap!

Great always looking forward to the young guns 👍💯👌🖐
Awesome finds lads, so cool to see the values and everything too.

Brilliant job lads. You really turned them rough opal around. Thanks for sharing
Awesome!

Wow very nice 👍😀
Great video as all the others have already said, my only thought was...safety glasses?! Watching you smash those rocks made me wince!
Not the worst idea! Should probably have them on next time though it’s pretty low risk not really any chips flinging off while we where doing it.
Very entertaining to watch lads!

Awww you'd make some one a lovely wife with those cooking skills 😉
Nice payoff guys.
STRAIGHT TO THE PUB! Hahahah thank you for watching!
Somehow I missed this vid!! Love this type of content !!
Love your content guys though I have to say you definitely should have been slicing that Boulder opla with a saw you lost a little money on that would also love to see the actual cutting process should definitely try to record that keep up the good work boys
With the hammers we are really only breaking away the excess ironstone. All of the goo stuff with potential get sliced.
Would love to record more of the process for you guys though had a lot to get done, next time tho!
Ive never seen opal in real life and i got the fever....... great to see you young guns making a buck
Thanks for watching! It’s not a hard fever to catch 😉🤠⛏
The Bondi treasure hunter sent me. Good to see you lads living the dream. Respect from Sydney, Australia.
Bondi is honestly the best guy! Thanks for checking out our channel !
Another great video
Thanks for watching :)
Keep the great content coming boys.
Thanks for watching Rafael!

No doubt bought tons of rough in the past this was one of the coolest hauls to date tho!
