Opal Hunting - Would You Do What We Do to Find It?

Описание: Most people only see opal, not what it takes to get it or where it comes from. In this video you'll see some of that.
The dirt we dig is then washed in an agitator which is old rusty cement mixer which has been modified to wash opal dirt. (You can see it in action in other videos on our channel)

Our next goal is 2000 subscribers, so if you enjoyed the video, please like and subscribe to help us pay for diesel and keep the digging (and the videos) going!
