$15,000 Opal Chunks Found After Digging 40ft Mineshaft!

- The Young Guns finally are back together mining in White Cliffs!
With the end of the season quickly approaching and the $2000 Opal mine Noah and Jaymin purchased still not set up, JC is determined to put in some hard work to get it ready for next season!
When mining underground it is always best to have an entry and an exit to a mine. This means clearing out shafts dug over 100 years ago and connecting them up underground.
The machinery JC is using to empty the dirt from the mine is called a windlass. The hardest part of mining this way is one must constantly climb the ladders up and down and fish for the buckets to pull them from the mine.
It’s slow going but after a few days the shaft is cleared and Jc is able to make his way into the mine to where Jaymin and Noah are working!
The mine produces and we uncover a small haul of big material full of pastel colours!
It looks like we are onto a solid area here with this mine and need to put in a lot more work to find out if this is the million dollar claim!
I hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.

Me and my wife are looking at the opal on it mahalo!
th-cam.com/users/shortsIGM_CU6fxTo?feature=share have you ever tried one of these to empty the holes with ?
Gday from Melbourne ♥ 🍻 Can you please tell me how much it cost you to Get them though ? 2 Grand for the mine itself or Permit ? Thinking of Getting into it
Just found you now and Subscribed 🐨
@@QIKUGAMES-QIKU $2k total for that mine. You can peg a claim for around $300 though we wanted this one that had work already done.
Machinery obviously is extra.
Guys don't forget to buy a extended Black light to run a few walks through your shafts... I promise you that you guys will find lots of Opal viens in the walls alone.
Congratulations on the healthy baby boy and those huge chunks of color!!
🎉🎉 thank you!
When his boy was born, "oh, he's got good color!"
@@adrielburned6924 🤨
Ahh man J C..congratulations on the Newest member to the young guns..
The opal King Zion
Hahahaha he’ll be a miner in no time!
I get claustrophobia just by watching these guys. Could never really do this myself.
It's not so much claustrophobia for me, but rather the thought of being buried alive or crushed. I'll also pass on going underground.
@@benjaminrapp7418 I believe that what claustrophobia is all about....lol. that's like saying it's not the fear of heights but fear falling down from this height ...same thing lol.
Congratulations on the new addition to the team!! He is such a beautiful little man! I'm always so happy to see you guys succeeding! Keep up all the hard work and amazing things will continue to come your way!!
Thank you for the support and taking the time to comment!
The buckets cant talk when they are full. So fill them rotten buckets.Airhugs of positive loving energy to you all
A BEAUTIFUL CHILD, BLESSINGS TO ALL. Rosie and I have been Blessed with 6 Children, 10 Grandchildren and 3 Great-grandchildren. Just keep building / making beautiful memories.
This shows the reality of how hard you have to work! Just you and three buckets! Up and down, down and up…bless you lad!
Aw yeah! I operate a small underground gold mine but we're all drill-and-blast with diesel equipment. Totally different technology; it's great to see all the specialized gear that has been developed for the opal fields.
Oh nice that sounds awesome friends with a couple gold miners will have to give it a go one day!
Nice chunky find !!! Congratulations and keep on digging.
Was a sweet find for sure!
I can remember when you first arrived on opal outback hunters and things were not the best but now you seemed to going great so well done all and best of luck for the future 🙂
I have been in love with opal all my life and until now I did not know that black lighting Australian opal would make it Flores. And to see it hold that glow. Wow. I need a black light to check my specimens. Thanks guys. You have earned my subscription
Congratulations on the wee man! Nice find too
Hahah thank you !
Well done. Never give up mates and thanks for sharing your mine and lives.
Thank you for tuning in!
@@younggunsopalhunters It's absolutely my pleasure and I can't get enough of this type of content. Imagine a simple canadian dirt merchant like me being able to interact with some wicked cool opal miners from down under like ya'll. Mad respect. While I love what you're doing I don't know if I could work in those holes. I'd rather just dig a big pit XD
Cheers and a beer!
wow .. the opal finding is very extraordinary. you are great friend.
Thank you for watching!
That OLight Baton you're carrying is an awesome light. I carry one every day at work. Love it.
They are the best!
I remember visiting the Australia Pavilion many times during the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee USA to see their opal display. Beautiful!
Congrats on the lil one 🤗👍 mahalo for sharing guys!! Great dig!! Super nice opal ☺️ stay bless
Thank you 🙏
Looked more like 100k worth...
Well done...
Love watching you guys finding the bling...
Hahaha if only! Maybe just around the corner let’s hope!
*Absolutely stunning Opal guys that’s a fantastic discovery big up to you all and it has to be recommended watching* 👌🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the support!
@@younggunsopalhunters pleasure to be here YyG 🙌👌🙌👍
as everyone else has said, thanks for sharing, and the best of luck 😊
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment it means alot to us!
it was awesome seeing you in the BOD live today. love your work. much success to you all
Yes love watching Justin’s cut!
@@younggunsopalhunters you guys do a ton of work, as this video shows, that outback opal never really touched. thanks for your efforts mate, without you we couldnt have our addiction.
@@ThatOpalGuy hahaha I was a fan before I was ever apart of the show! I like to hope that gives me an idea of what people want to see watching us!
Best job in the world and it’s a privilege to do it!
@@younggunsopalhunters yeah, im kinda old now, but i really wish i had been in a position to opal mine.
keep finding that glorious color
This is the inspiration i need to get 99 mining. Thank you lads.
Love how yall are using the black light to find the opals! We have head lights that have them but into them now! Yall should look into them as the fit right on your helmets! They work great for night fishing it what i mainly use it for.
That’s a great idea we will have to find a way to make them apart of our helmets!
My god young man you a triggering my Claustrophobia...Fair play to you , you deserve all the luck in the world...Subscribed and look forward to more...Cheers from Inverness, Scotland
Thanks for watching it can trigger a bit of claustrophobia 😂
Love seeing you guys get a bit of luck digging one of my favorite gems...and you holding yours!
Thank for watching and commenting!
Fantastic, I like this different perspective. Well done boys.
Thanks hard to get two people down in the shaft at the same time hahah JC did well taking over the camera for this one !
That little bebe is worth a bunch more than the color you brought up fron underground. Stay safe guys.
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
Opal mining looks like a great way to get rich quick. I think I’ll sell everything and give a go!
Highly recommend it !
Congratulations on the future digger 🎉all the best to the Young Guns!
Thank you!
I love these guys! You may say they are lucky, but quite honestly they put in the work! Just don't drink it away lads, you are a good bunch!
Wow!! Nice haul after all that hard work!! Those will cut some nice gems!!👍😁
So giant I’ve no clue how to cut them!
@@younggunsopalhunters I would love to give it a go!!😁😁
great too see a couple of mates working hard and making a dollar
Gorgeous, Congratulations, some rainbow reward for all your hard work.
Thank you for watching 😊
Eureka Yeee Haaa
Now that’s what I am talking about..

Haha thanks for watching as always mate!
@@younggunsopalhunters

So much fun watchin you, good luck and lots of fun .. greez from germany 🤘😀🎸🙏
Thank you 🙏
Go young guns…. Hoping the best for you guys
Thank you we are praying for that million dollar haul and can’t wait to share it with everyone!
@@younggunsopalhunters I enjoy the small hauls just as much as the big ones… simply because you guys are doing what so many wish they could do… and y’all make people laugh, worry on the edge of their seats … “Jumping up and down on old fill? Really?” And you know what, that kinda stuff goes a long way in modern online entertainment, when it’s “By the click” so’s to speak… Keep up the good work … Asking for more content!!!
Congrats on the little Miner.....the baby hammer♡♡♡
Hahaha thank you!
Absolutely beautiful little chunk! And the opal is kinda cute too 😊
You have come so far and worked hard as well-Mary-I to have an opal mining dream -just a dream though -wishing you boys all the best Mary and Darril Budden
Thank you both for watching!
Good luck and a great find 👍👍👍👍. Baby is so cute 😊😊😊
Thank you!
How cute is the wee one! Congratulations! You'll have a family of Opal miners before you know it! Stay safe all of you. 🙏
love seeing Young Guns crew on Outback Opal Hunters, Congrats on the bub and wishing you all the very best for every success.
Thank you!
Another awesome video. Wish you guys could post more.
Hahaha wish we had more time!
Love the series Outback Opal hunters watching from the UK and just found your utube channel. Smashin it lads keep up the good work and great content !!!
Thank you for watching!
Nice find! It's always nice to see someone find success at such a risky business. 👍
Thank you for watching definitely a good payoff!
Congratulations guys! Now that's some chunky stuff!!
Definitely a good day !
Nice find guys... congrats big time
Thank you!
I love how every time I see one and you put the black light on it... It's definitely there. Excellent strategy for efficiency... But I have to stress opal can hide inside chunks of rock you guys have tossed out a few times. So while you're hitting good... I know you've actually got much better... Excellent mine guys. Solid buy for $2000
This is amazing! Such tedious work but well worth it when you find something. What a fascinating lesson in perseverance. Thank you for showing us the effort that goes into finding my birthstone! I have a new appreciation for these gorgeous rainbows. Much love from Canada.
Onya lads! You did well on this find. Keep em happening and before you know it...wham, bam, thankyou mam...a fortune in the pretty rocks will come your way.
Love your content , keep em happening!

PS: JC, I thought you Aussies say 'Z' like we Aotearoan-New Zealanders do - Zed? You don't want the we dude to start bad habits. 🤨😉🙂

Thank you always important to have an entry and exit!
What a cool bunch of fellas you guys are, what a cool ass job too.
Solid advice stays away from buckets one must
Sometimes all you can use is a bucket. 😭 need to get a blower 😂
Why plural of stay? Are you an American?
Advice stays away from bucket? Huh? 🤔
Treasure in friends, family and opal!

@@younggunsopalhunters have you started translateing your episodes into other languages too get more views and more$ misterbeast talk's about paying people to do it and looks like it's a good revenue episodes are great quality 👍 make those claims pay ✌️
Hope you boys are getting along well!
Treasure hunting with your best mates! Doesn’t get better!
@@younggunsopalhunters I agree 100%
Great vid (long!!!) and congrats on a spectacular find! Lovely to see the new addition to the family. Great stuff and much love from the Netherlands!
Thank you for watching !
so cute. congratulations. and good luck finding opal and with your family. greetings erik from belgium.
A belated congratulations on the birth of the latest addition to the mining crew guys.
Dont start him too early, give him another couple of months at least before you put a jack hammer in his hands.
Well done Emma.
Hey Gary! As always thank you for watching and for the support!
He’ll be a miner for sure!
Your welcome guys. Love your channel and will be seeing you soonish if I can isolate where you guys are.
@@younggunsopalhunters I dont think that he will have much choice in the matter. For Xmas you know that you will have to get him a plastic shovel, Tonka dump truck and a toy bulldozer.
There's a loverly level that came out 17 mind in. He was standing on it. Congrats. X
so satisfying to watch you guys good work
Thanks for watching!
I never realised that JC's partner was Jaymins sister, and when he introduced the baby my first thought was how much he looks like Jaymin!
Jc and I are family now! Couldn’t ask for a better man to be with my sister!
Awesome job jay jc and Nozman.not real sure about doing things the old school way with the windless and all .loved watching it and bring on the season I say😊
If only we had know someone with a blower 😂
What a beautiful baby boy. Congrats!
