Very interesting! Without this channel, I'd have to travel half way around the world to see a bit of opal hunting adventures. Thank you for sharing. I love the dugout! Looks like the miner built himself a cozy man-cave.
Thought I'd go back after the news today and let you know after this vid we moved to the outback and I've now got my own opal mine in Andamooka, like I said, you guys inspired us more than you can imagine.
I love your videos Ms. Liz. You are a big influence and your videos have helped me learn about prospecting technique and what it takes to actually succeed and is not Over glorified by only showing the rare big finds...And I like your plants too!
Again , this another fantastic video to watch , I absolutely very interested bcoz I am anykind of stone pebbles lovers and love collecting them anywhere I go , and mostly bought them every holiday place or Country I go .
Glad you enjoyed it Maya. Nothing better than finding them yourself and attaching a memory to it. I can pick up the rock and be reminded about the good times I had finding it. Thanks for watching and hope you get the chance to go out prospecting for gems.
Hi Liz. Great to see you back on deck. That's a great way to make a comeback too so cheers to some more adventures this year and hopefully some pretty stones as well.
Welcome back Ms Kreate. I kept wondering where you are and I've hit the bell icon so I won't be late for another one of your videos. BTW, that dugout was like a kids dream. I remember as a kid, seeing article about Coober Pedy underground homes and always wanted to visit one. I tried digging my own in the backyard until Mum freaked out and said I'd end up getting crushed. It never occurred to me that could happen but there's something so compelling about these rugged domiciles. Must be my neanderthal genes making me want to live in a cave.
I have been hoping for one of your adventures, I loved it.Those Opal's are beautiful 🤍. That gentleman has turned that dugout into a great home, it's just wonderful. Wow, your friend Joe did excellent, hope he didn't hurt himself. Thank you Liz for sharing. 💜💜
How cool! Mostly all we have in New England are conglomerates and weakly metamofphic rocks. It must be awesome to pack a lunch and head to some place like this to poke around.
Definitely going to be heading up to white cliffs and surounding areas to fossick like this very soon, i only live about 6 hours away and thats not far for me when it comes to finding beautiful opal haha.
Hi Liz, that was an interesting video, some nice little finds and a great look around the dugout. Thanks for taking us with you. Wishing you the best. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin
I found 12 crystal. First crystal found in April 2021. Last crystal found in July 2022. 1 crystal found on one hill and it's the biggest. 11 crystal found on same hill and have variety size. All same colour: Transparent. All same shape: Hexagonal
Awesome video unfortunately i have bowel cancer and last purchased ute and camper trailer. I am looking noodle lighting ridge area and surrounds. I have been given a few areas munderoo, mulga MT white cambora wee Warra glengarry white cliffs sheep yards and Grawin . I am looking for general areas where potter around. Do you have general advice like roads etc
Sorry to hear about your condition David. Good to know you're still out and about. Lightning Ridge areas of late has been close to the public. White cliffs is still the best area for noodling and the public. All the best and Happy Hunting.
He's doing really well for an old bird. He's been starring in a few of my videos in my other channel. Link below if you're interested. Thanks for watching. I Have A Secret - th-cam.com/video/ib5I219aBaQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey Liz great video. I'm so glad we can all come together after all that is going on around us to have fun rock hunting. I'm still rock hunting here in the state's. But one day that engine in my head started turning and it got me too wondering about the specimens we all are collecting all over this earth. Then I ran into (Mud fossil's University) a Guy by the name of Roger, great mind beautiful light within, this guy has my mind racing. On the anatomy of the human body. Of course I have one up because I worked in the medical field and studied a lot on the inner most parts. But did not focus on the outer layers of our body until now. Go too mud fossil University check out Roger findings, and truly Liz those who find a great deal of joy in rock hunting need too be involved with this 100%. This can really change the way we treat our planet. Be good be safe and much love.
Great idea if one is in a flat area and not too far away from camp where there's not much gems to find.😉 Tried that when I first started fossicking and had a backpack full of gadgets with me....(the boss just laughed at me). I only lasted about 200 meters away from camp and have to go back and drop off most of my gear. Lost a few precious minutes in the process. When on the field, the less stuff one lags around, the more area one covers, the more one finds. Thanks for watching.
Hi liz and Wal.. Absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing this video.. Hopefully we can catch up soon.. I am going to Wedderburn on the 9 /3/22 and say in Victoria for a month gold detecting. Cheers Famo59 👍🍻🤓⛏
Hi Liz, at the start you mention noodling as looking on the surface for opal, I have always understood noodling to be raking through the mullock and specking to be looking on the surface. Am I wrong?
I Absolutely love Opal! What is there about it not to laugh! I also see someone has gotten a drone and the shots were phenomenal! I just saw on the news about all the flooding and I’m very sorry to say I don’t know much about Australia and where different places are but I really hope you are not affected by any of it even the rain.
Liz, have y'all retired, haven't seen a new video in quite a while, getting worried about you and Walt. Please let me know y'all are ok. Iv missed your videos so much.... God Bless...

Ok you got me. I subscribed lol. Man am I jealous haha. Hey, have you ever considered using a black light at night to search for opals on the ground ? I think the black light would help you see them more readily. Just a thought. So cool that you get to do that.
Unfortunately, we're housebound ATM. Please check out my video below as to the reason why. The video is from my other channel. Thanks very much. I Have A Secret - th-cam.com/video/ib5I219aBaQ/w-d-xo.html
Greeting from Western N.Y. USA. Years ago I had to have my property dug up to put in drainage. The backhoe dumped a load of dirt and out popped a pretty rock. Most people say it's glass. After seeing ur stones I really think it's an oral. Could that be possible? Thank u!!
@@pamkarns4244 Anything is possible Pam. May I suggest to take it to someone who can help you identify it. You might be sitting under a fortune. Good luck.
I don't think I could live in an underground mine without digging into the walls, ceiling and floor. Fascinating video. Thanks for sharing.
You and me both! Thanks for watching.
I've missed u and ur videos. Glad ur back.
Me too! Thanks for watching Barbara. Have a great day! Cheers, Liz
I've missed your videos so much! I'm glad you got to make a new one, and glad you are well. Thanks for sharing your opal adventure.
It's good to see you back Liz.

Liz, I hope all is well with you and your family. As always, I love your adventures, thank you for taking us along. Cheers!
I spent a week there fossicking, had a great time, found lots of small stones but nothing amazing. Still so much fun,
Thought I'd go back after the news today and let you know after this vid we moved to the outback and I've now got my own opal mine in Andamooka, like I said, you guys inspired us more than you can imagine.
Now you got me excited... Good luck with your new life Balx, and may the Opal Gods smile upon you. Take care. 🥰

We could totally live like that. What a neat little dugout. Thanks for this video Liz!
You are both so welcome! Thanks for watching.

Liz omg wow I love your videos especially the miners house my Australia friend went fossiking shows me his garden shed with gems and fossils 👍🇬🇧🇮🇹🦊🐾
Collecting opal was fun to watch but wow, what a wonderful home he made!
Glad you enjoyed it.

He had the beginners luck. Literally stumbling over opals....😁

Hi Liz, haven't heard or seen anything for you and Wal for quite a while. Look forward to seeing you guys soon👍
How cool! Mostly all we have in New England are conglomerates and weakly metamofphic rocks. It must be awesome to pack a lunch and head to some place like this to poke around.
Unfortunately, this is not a "pack of lunch" area. We have to travel 1200 km to get to this place.
🤩 new video! Yay! Thank you!!⭐️
Hope you enjoyed it!

Really Cool.
Thanks Liz! Fun video!❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Way to go Joe! Worth the fall!
Thank you for sharing 🤟🏻💋
You are Awesome !
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely Lovely
@nn Opals fancy seeing you here as well !
I would think that you could strap a garden Tank sprayer to a Handcart with improved tires, and use it to wet the promising areas.
Great idea if one is in a flat area and not too far away from camp where there's not much gems to find.😉

We might be going down during Winter. Best of luck out there and hope you find a few nuggies. Happy Hunting.

Thanks..

Hi Liz, at the start you mention noodling as looking on the surface for opal, I have always understood noodling to be raking through the mullock and specking to be looking on the surface. Am I wrong?
They're both one and the same.
I've seen some videos of people using a black light to see opal glowing in the dark.
Do u search for 0pals during night, noodling? Does other source of light work when searching for reflection?
Yes we do. Black light is good but we only use ordinary flash light.
Awesomeness, thank you for sharing 👍👍👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Very cool at night I understand it’s dangerous but a black light could be very effective. AWSOME 👍👍🇦🇺
Would certainly make the job easier. Thanks for watching.
Pleasure 👍
When are you coming back to WA?
You can stay on my block and give me a geology class 😊 I have a lot of quartz and an ancient creek running through it
No plan at the moment Stacey.
I Absolutely love Opal! What is there about it not to laugh! I also see someone has gotten a drone and the shots were phenomenal!
I just saw on the news about all the flooding and I’m very sorry to say I don’t know much about Australia and where different places are but I really hope you are not affected by any of it even the rain.
We are lucky that we are in a high area. Plenty of rain but no flood.

Man am I jealous haha.
Hey, have you ever considered using a black light at night to search for opals on the ground ? I think the black light would help you see them more readily.
Just a thought.
So cool that you get to do that.
Yes they do work. But for the short period of time we have and the amount we find, we'd like to leave some for others to also enjoy....😂
SALUDOS LIZ 💓🌹💜💙💓❗
Hi, there, xoxo!! Do you ever find "Peridot"?
Yes we do. Please see video link below. Thanks for watching.

Liz do you sell any of what you find?
Not at the moment. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
is your website down?
I don't have one.
What is the price of Tumblr opal??
They all vary depending on color intensity and size.
There is still colour in the bleak fields if one searches
Hey Liz! I will be FIRST!
Nice finds Liz! I hope you and Walt are doing well and out somewhere finding more great stuff!
Bless you both and your families.
