$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!

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.
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!
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
Nice chunky find !!! Congratulations and keep on digging.
Was a sweet find for sure!
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.
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!
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.
Kia ora from Aotearoa. Wow! What a brilliant episode. It has it all. Drama, comedy, a pretty lady and happy families, goofy guys and good luck. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much. Off to check out your store. Not that I've got any spare dosh at the mo' but a girl can dream. They're some pretty opals and make no mistake. _Nga mihi nui_ Thanks heaps.
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 so much for watching and taking the time to comment we are very glad you enjoyed it!
And yes JC it is Zed hahahah not zzzz 😂
Good luck and a great find 👍👍👍👍. Baby is so cute 😊😊😊
Thank you!
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 😂
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!
so cute. congratulations. and good luck finding opal and with your family. greetings erik from belgium.
Congratulations on the wee man! Nice find too
Hahah thank you !
wow .. the opal finding is very extraordinary. you are great friend.
Thank you for watching!
Congrats on the little Miner.....the baby hammer♡♡♡
Hahaha thank you!
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
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 🙂
Congrats on the lil one 🤗👍 mahalo for sharing guys!! Great dig!! Super nice opal ☺️ stay bless
Thank you 🙏
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!
Congratulations on the future digger 🎉all the best to the Young Guns!
Thank you!
So much fun watchin you, good luck and lots of fun .. greez from germany 🤘😀🎸🙏
Thank you 🙏
I remember visiting the Australia Pavilion many times during the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee USA to see their opal display. Beautiful!
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!!😁😁
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!
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 !
It slow work doing it yourself going up and down buy you sure have a lot of heart and a good sense of humor
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!
That OLight Baton you're carrying is an awesome light. I carry one every day at work. Love it.
They are the best!
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!
Gorgeous, Congratulations, some rainbow reward for all your hard work.
Thank you for watching 😊
*Absolutely stunning Opal guys that’s a fantastic discovery big up to you all and it has to be recommended watching* 👌🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻

Q.L.D.
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.
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
🎉those color streams are insanely beautiful for Opal guys.. 🎉 Looking forward to seeing more content... Again, I'd love to come work for you guys.
Congratulations guys! Now that's some chunky stuff!!
Definitely a good day !
Congratulations on the Opal Find. And congratulations on the beautiful baby!
Thank you very much!
Nice find guys... congrats big time
Thank you!

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!
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.
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!
This is the inspiration i need to get 99 mining. Thank you lads.
Congrats, on your baby son, he is adorable!! And your lady to!!😊
OMG - after all your hard graft, you get some fantastic opals!!!!!!!!! Grats boys, grats!
Definitely a bit of hard work but we’ll worth it!!
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!
Finally! I love watching your videos! Opal chunks! YES!
Hahah thank you so much for watching!
What a beautiful family Congratulations!!!!
Thank you!
Congratulations, your videos always make us viewers feel like part of your family.
Thank you for being apart of our family !
great job guys !
Thanks for watching !
How cute is the wee one! Congratulations! You'll have a family of Opal miners before you know it! Stay safe all of you. 🙏
Congratulations on the baby y'all
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
Absolutely lovely finds. Easy sub bois. Where I'm at in New England, I've found some of the best of what my state has to offer. But God, what I'd do to get a weekend of hauling dirt with you.
Thank you for watching and subscribing! It’s an awesome job if you ever make it over this way come say hello!
Great to see you all👍watching from UK. Keep filming and be safe.
Just had covid all week so been catching up on the Opal Hunters episodes, you guys and Rod Manning are the stars of the show. All the 👌
New friend here from Australia. I love opals cut and not cut
Keep these videos come boyes!! Love em'!!!
Thank you for the appreciation we will keep them coming !
OMG, (I’m just watching this now in 2024) ….just watching you crawl headfirst into that hole you don’t know where it goes…..is crazy bud!!! I’m freaking out just watching you. But…love this channel. Keep it up!!! (Hello from Northwestern, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦) Love you guys!!!
Love seeing you guys get a bit of luck digging one of my favorite gems...and you holding yours!
Thank for watching and commenting!
That little bebe is worth a bunch more than the color you brought up fron underground. Stay safe guys.
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
Onya fellas, & congrats Jc nothing better than becoming a Dad. Wish you and the Mrs the very best for your family.
Thank you very much !
Glad to see you guys back! Love your content! Keep up the good work!

Thank you!
Love the upload ❤
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, funny and exciting ,
Proper hard graft filling buckets and climbing up and down to empty
Well done on yiur find
Edited to add
Amazed how deep the roots where,, and how flammable
Ha ha ha
Hahah thanks for watching was a massive trek to get this shaft emptied!
I could hear the cheer's from here ...3am madness. Nice work
Hahaha thanks you for checking out the new vid!
I remember watching some of the first episodes you guys were in and you've all been on a journey for sure , buzzing to see you doing well in-between the hard work lads .
It’s been a journey for sure! And more to come !
Opal mining looks like a great way to get rich quick. I think I’ll sell everything and give a go!
Highly recommend it !
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
Great 👍 finds guys! Beautiful 👏
Thank you!
Well done boy’s and congratulations on your new mining partner JC. You’re living the life, so be proud of your achievements and please stay safe. ⛏
Thank you very much!
so satisfying to watch you guys good work
Thanks for watching!
I could watch this for hours do some longer video's this stuff is addictive I detect for gold every day but when its raining I watch you opal boys find opals
Hahaha thanks for watching this is our longest so far and it seems people are keen, will definitely make more! Good luck on your next gold adventure would love to go for the yellow stuff one day!
@@younggunsopalhunters the yellow stuff is addictive but hard to find the opal mining seems to be where the money is haha. gold is addictive also I love pulling it out of the ground. Dunno what it is with humans and shiny rocks haha thank you I am heading out tomorrow morning.
@@lennytime8057 hahahah yes we do love the shiny rocks, though to be completely honest for us it’s more the finding, the adventure! Sell everything we find buy more gear keep on digging away hahaha
@@younggunsopalhunters that is what I find addictive the hunt and finding it I don't sell much gold too me it's worth more then money can buy my detector has paid for its self over 6 times do any thing I get is a thrill even the little ones :).
Great job with footage and editing! You guys are doing it better that Discovery.
Haha thank you very much trying our best to create fun and interesting content!
WOW! what amazing finds...congrats, boys

It’s hard work in preparation to get to those Opal’s! Bucket by bucket! I suppose you could call it your Bucket list? Many do not understand all the hard work that goes into getting Opals! You are a hard working young man.👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
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 !
Wow! Great video! You guys are so funny. Young Guns Opal Hunters, just as good if not better than outback opal hunters. Both are great but you guys should have your own show. Congratulations.
You are too kind thank you very much!
Yo guys as a long time fan of your im telling like your videos are getting better ... like idk if its you or u got an editor but the last couple of videos tells a lil stories in the videos (like the tunnel digging in this 1) and that's really nice.

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!

Congratulations to your baby and family
Congratulations JZ on the latest young gun. Well done on that find as well, hope it’s rewarding. 👍👶🏻
