00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,479
As long as they haven't done it
already.

168
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:47,999
We'll just get going
on the other side. Yeah.

169
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,479
We'll just get going
on the other side. Yeah.

170
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,999
Is that our peg?
No. That's their peg.

171
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,079
Is that our peg?
No. That's their peg.

172
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,999
The rivals have got their red pegs
in first.

173
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,999
The rivals have got their red pegs
in first.

174
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,999
But it looks like they're
inside Bayden's claim.

175
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,999
But it looks like they're
inside Bayden's claim.

176
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,119
But it looks like they're
inside Bayden's claim.

177
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,999
This is already pegged here.
They can't peg that.

178
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,959
This is already pegged here.
They can't peg that.

179
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,999
When they're pegging, they're just
not pegging any ground,

180
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,839
When they're pegging, they're just
not pegging any ground,

181
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:11,999
they're pegging my claim.

182
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,999
they're pegging my claim.

183
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,119
they're pegging my claim.

184
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,999
See my peg here? Yeah.
See, he's pegged there.

185
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,559
See my peg here? Yeah.
See, he's pegged there.

186
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,999
Yes. He can't do it.
Have a look at my...peg.

187
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,999
Yes. He can't do it.
Have a look at my...peg.

188
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,599
Yes. He can't do it.
Have a look at my...peg.

189
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,999
It's here, it comes through there.
Why has he got a peg there?

190
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,999
It's here, it comes through there.
Why has he got a peg there?

191
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:24,239
It's here, it comes through there.
Why has he got a peg there?

192
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,999
Why is his peg in my claim?

193
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,719
Why is his peg in my claim?

194
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,999
Why the...is his peg in my claim?

195
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,799
Why the...is his peg in my claim?

196
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,999
Hey. It stinks in there.

197
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,799
Hey. It stinks in there.

198
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:43,999
Ugh, Rod, is that you? Is it?

199
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,999
Ugh, Rod, is that you? Is it?

200
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,559
Ugh, Rod, is that you? Is it?

201
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,999
He'd be in serious trouble
if that smell was me, Les.

202
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,439
He'd be in serious trouble
if that smell was me, Les.

203
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:49,999
In outback New South Wales,
70km from the nearest town.

204
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,999
In outback New South Wales,
70km from the nearest town.

205
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,999
In outback New South Wales,
70km from the nearest town.

206
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,079
In outback New South Wales,
70km from the nearest town.

207
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,999
Bushmen, Rod and Les,
are on the hunt.

208
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:56,999
Bushmen, Rod and Les,
are on the hunt.

209
00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,999
I reckon a snake's got in here
or something and died.

210
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,999
I reckon a snake's got in here
or something and died.

211
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:02,879
I reckon a snake's got in here
or something and died.

212
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,999
In the fierce heat,
the stench of a dead animal

213
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,719
In the fierce heat,
the stench of a dead animal

214
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:05,999
has saturated the Bushmen's camp,

215
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,999
has saturated the Bushmen's camp,

216
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,999
making living inside unbearable.

217
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,639
making living inside unbearable.

218
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:11,999
Amanda's not really happy
about the smell.

219
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,999
Amanda's not really happy
about the smell.

220
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,399
Amanda's not really happy
about the smell.

221
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,999
It's all right, nothing's there.

222
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,839
It's all right, nothing's there.

223
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:17,999
Ooh, yeah, it's gotten worse in here
since this morning.

224
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,999
Ooh, yeah, it's gotten worse in here
since this morning.

225
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,079
Ooh, yeah, it's gotten worse in here
since this morning.

226
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,999
She'd have hit me with a pick handle

227
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,199
She'd have hit me with a pick handle

228
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:23,999
if I'd gone to work,
and left that smell there.

229
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,879
if I'd gone to work,
and left that smell there.

230
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:25,999
Ugh, Roddy,
the stink coming out of here.

231
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,999
Ugh, Roddy,
the stink coming out of here.

232
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,679
Ugh, Roddy,
the stink coming out of here.

233
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,999
Jesus.

234
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,319
Jesus.

235
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,999
What this is is, this is our
conditioner for summer.

236
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,999
What this is is, this is our
conditioner for summer.

237
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,519
What this is is, this is our
conditioner for summer.

238
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,999
All this side of the claim I've
worked, it's all mined out.

239
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,919
All this side of the claim I've
worked, it's all mined out.

240
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,999
So the air conditioner sucks
the cold air up from underground

241
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,519
So the air conditioner sucks
the cold air up from underground

242
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:41,999
and blows it in here.

243
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,599
and blows it in here.

244
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:43,999
Something's gotten down one
of the old shafts and died,

245
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,999
Something's gotten down one
of the old shafts and died,

246
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,519
Something's gotten down one
of the old shafts and died,

247
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,999
and it smells bloody horrible.

248
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,599
and it smells bloody horrible.

249
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,999
So, I'm gonna have to climb down
this old mine here,

250
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,959
So, I'm gonna have to climb down
this old mine here,

251
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,999
and see what it is.

252
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,079
and see what it is.

253
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,999
Ahh! Jesus Christ!

254
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,319
Ahh! Jesus Christ!

255
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,999
Halfway into the season,
the Bushmen are fighting hard

256
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,999
Halfway into the season,
the Bushmen are fighting hard

257
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,999
Halfway into the season,
the Bushmen are fighting hard

258
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,999
to reach their target.

259
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,239
to reach their target.

260
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:03,999
Things are grim. You know, we do
need to find some money desperately.

261
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,999
Things are grim. You know, we do
need to find some money desperately.

262
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,039
Things are grim. You know, we do
need to find some money desperately.

263
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,999
I'm worried a bit about Les.

264
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,199
I'm worried a bit about Les.

265
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:09,999
I know he hasn't had enough diesel
to run his genny,

266
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,759
I know he hasn't had enough diesel
to run his genny,

267
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:11,999
so, he's had no electricity
for a week or two.

268
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,999
so, he's had no electricity
for a week or two.

269
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,199
so, he's had no electricity
for a week or two.

270
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:15,999
The hope is that
we find enough money.

271
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,719
The hope is that
we find enough money.

272
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:17,999
I need another vehicle,
and soon as we get enough money,
I'm gonna get one.

273
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,999
I need another vehicle,
and soon as we get enough money,
I'm gonna get one.

274
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,359
I need another vehicle,
and soon as we get enough money,
I'm gonna get one.

275
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,999
I hope to find enough colour
to be able to go

276
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,999
I hope to find enough colour
to be able to go

277
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,999
and visit our kids
and our grandkids.

278
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,399
and visit our kids
and our grandkids.

279
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,999
Rod and Les are hunting the most
prized of all opals - black opal.

280
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,999
Rod and Les are hunting the most
prized of all opals - black opal.

281
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,999
Rod and Les are hunting the most
prized of all opals - black opal.

282
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,239
Rod and Les are hunting the most
prized of all opals - black opal.

283
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,999
The best stones can sell
for $43,000 per gram,

284
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,999
The best stones can sell
for $43,000 per gram,

285
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:36,199
The best stones can sell
for $43,000 per gram,

286
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:37,999
500 times as much as gold.

287
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,479
500 times as much as gold.

288
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,999
If we don't find it, well, we gotta
tighten the belt a bit more.

289
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,999
If we don't find it, well, we gotta
tighten the belt a bit more.

290
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,079
If we don't find it, well, we gotta
tighten the belt a bit more.

291
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,999
But until the source of the smell
at camp is found and removed,

292
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,679
But until the source of the smell
at camp is found and removed,

293
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:47,999
Rod and Les won't be
mining anything.

294
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,999
Rod and Les won't be
mining anything.

295
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,439
Rod and Les won't be
mining anything.

296
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:51,999
ROD: I'm not really happy
about going underground here

297
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,999
ROD: I'm not really happy
about going underground here

298
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,279
ROD: I'm not really happy
about going underground here

299
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,999
because this is really dangerous
ground, this little field.

300
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,999
because this is really dangerous
ground, this little field.

301
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,039
because this is really dangerous
ground, this little field.

302
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,999
I haven't been down there for years.

303
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:00,399
I haven't been down there for years.

304
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,999
So, I don't know
what it's gonna be like.

305
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,719
So, I don't know
what it's gonna be like.

306
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,999
But I know it's not gonna be good.

307
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,639
But I know it's not gonna be good.

308
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:05,999
LES: What's it look like down there?

309
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,999
LES: What's it look like down there?

310
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,079
LES: What's it look like down there?

311
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,999
Bloody awful.

312
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,919
Bloody awful.

313
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,999
Oh, I don't want to do this.

314
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,999
Oh, I don't want to do this.

315
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,999
The ground here is very unstable,
it's very wet.

316
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,799
The ground here is very unstable,
it's very wet.

317
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:17,999
Jesus.

318
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,879
Jesus.

319
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:19,999
The walls start to dry out,
and as they dry out,

320
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,999
The walls start to dry out,
and as they dry out,

321
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:22,399
The walls start to dry out,
and as they dry out,

322
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,999
they shrink, and as they shrink,
they develop those big cracks.

323
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,999
they shrink, and as they shrink,
they develop those big cracks.

324
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,719
they shrink, and as they shrink,
they develop those big cracks.

325
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,999
And all this is just the walls
that have caved in.

326
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,839
And all this is just the walls
that have caved in.

327
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:29,999
If you're walking past, and one of
those big rocks come down,

328
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,999
If you're walking past, and one of
those big rocks come down,

329
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,999
If you're walking past, and one of
those big rocks come down,

330
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,159
If you're walking past, and one of
those big rocks come down,

331
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,999
it's definitely gonna ruin your day.

332
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,799
it's definitely gonna ruin your day.

333
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,999
You found anything yet?

334
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,959
You found anything yet?

335
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,999
I can't smell too much, but I don't
think it's down this end.

I can't smell too much, but I don't
think it's down this end.

I can't smell too much, but I don't
think it's down this end.

Knowing what some mines go like,
pieces falling out of the walls

339
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,839
Knowing what some mines go like,
pieces falling out of the walls

340
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:45,999
and stuff like that,
or the roof falling in,

341
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,999
and stuff like that,
or the roof falling in,

342
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,239
and stuff like that,
or the roof falling in,

343
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,999
you do worry, and try and keep
a check on him.

It's a real dangerous mine, this.

It's a real dangerous mine, this.

349
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,999
We don't work it anymore
for that reason.

350
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,919
We don't work it anymore
for that reason.

351
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,999
The smell's starting
to get a bit worse,

00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,319
The smell's starting
to get a bit worse,

353
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,999

It's come down here

I just wanted it to get in,
get it and get out.

I didn't wanna hang around
down there too long.

I didn't wanna hang around
down there too long.

372
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,999
For the smell
or the danger of the mine.

they've had a tip-off
that valuable opal was found

they've had a tip-off

OK, Nige.

397
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:09,999
The story is that when it was
drilled 20 years ago,

really nice colour came

So, I'll get a compass bearing
on where that is.

407
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,999
So, I'll get a compass bearing
on where that is.

to the location of the holes

413
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,999
should give them the direction

should give them the direction
to dig underground.

415
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:32,359
should give them the direction
to dig underground.

416
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,999
When I go underground, I stand
straight underneath this hole.

When I go underground, I stand
straight underneath this hole.

418
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,999
When I get the same reading
underground as what I've got here,

419
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,959
When I get the same reading
underground as what I've got here,

420
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,959
that's where we need to go.

421
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,999
Straight through here.

422
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,639
Straight through here.

423
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,999
Hole. Hole.
Yeah.

Hole. Hole.
Yeah.

425
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:49,999
It will be pretty close.

426
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,999
It will be pretty close.

427
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,999
We reckon that the exploratory holes

428
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,439
We reckon that the exploratory holes

429
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,999
that we're looking for are a couple
of metres that way.

430
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,519
that we're looking for are a couple
of metres that way.

431
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,999
I just have to move in a second,
but it's looking all right

00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,999
I just have to move in a second,
but it's looking all right

433

434
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,999
in that section there, mate.

your thumbnail,

If you can get an opal the size of
your thumbnail,

452
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:31,999
it'd be worth $30,000.

453
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,479
it'd be worth $30,000.

454

Anything in that place?
Hold it. Here we go. You ready?

It didn't. Continue.

There's gotta be something left

514
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,999
But they're both new
to opal hunting.

515
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:00,479
But they're both new
to opal hunting.

516
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,999
Their plan is to make a living,
turning any stones they find

520
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,999
I started having a go at cutting opal
about a year-and-a-half ago,

521
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,319
I started having a go at cutting opal
about a year-and-a-half ago,

522
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:09,999
and found that, actually,
I was OK at it.

We've spent all our savings
setting up the van,

We've spent all our savings
setting up the van,

535
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,999

538
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,999
We borrowed money to buy it.
This is every penny I have,

00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,919
We borrowed money to buy it.
This is every penny I have,

It's a little mining community.
Everyone's friendly

552
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,999
and willing to help, and that's why
we thought, 'Let's come back here

553
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,679
and willing to help, and that's why
we thought, 'Let's come back here

That'd be good.

570

So, how much do you think
we need to find?

Between 3,000 and 5,000.

576
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:25,999
We're gonna have to find at least one
really good piece.

In the 1880s, hundreds of opal mines

In the 1880s, hundreds of opal mines

595

until a dip in prices

covered this land
until a dip in prices

597
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:53,999
sent many miners bankrupt.

604
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,999
If we can find a few pieces
we can cut into stones,

605
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,999
If we can find a few pieces
we can cut into stones,

606
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,999
Mary can set a piece,
and we could sell that.

I reckon this is ironstone, Mary.

I reckon this is ironstone, Mary.

636
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:45,999

It's slightly darker than all the
other bits around, isn't it?

It's slightly darker than all the
other bits around, isn't it?

648
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,999
Yeah, that's the sandstone.
You can see the difference.

649
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,959
Yeah, that's the sandstone.
You can see the difference.

and spotting the ironstone
pretty quickly.

00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,479
and spotting the ironstone
pretty quickly.

654
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:09,999
It stands out from the sandstone
quite significantly.

655
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,999
It stands out from the sandstone
quite significantly.

656
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,759
It stands out from the sandstone
quite significantly.

657
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,999
The tricky part now, is to try
and spot a boulder that's got

658
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,999
The tricky part now, is to try
and spot a boulder that's got

659
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,959
The tricky part now, is to try
and spot a boulder that's got

660
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,999
potential colour in it
from one that hasn't.

661
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,999
potential colour in it
from one that hasn't.

662
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:20,479
potential colour in it
from one that hasn't.

663
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,999
Oh, look.
What is it?

664
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,279
Oh, look.
What is it?

665
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,999
It's quite cute, isn't it?
Oh.

666
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,079
It's quite cute, isn't it?
Oh.

667
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,999
It's just that milky blue.
Yeah.

668
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,879
It's just that milky blue.
Yeah.

669
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:29,999
But all they're finding
is common opal

670
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,999
But all they're finding
is common opal

671
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:32,679
But all they're finding
is common opal

672
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,999
with little or no colour,
known as potch.

673
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,999
with little or no colour,
known as potch.

674
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,639
with little or no colour,
known as potch.

675
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:37,999
Yes, that's the colour.
That's really, really potch.

676
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,999
Yes, that's the colour.
That's really, really potch.

677
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,079
Yes, that's the colour.
That's really, really potch.

678
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:41,999
It's feeling a little bit
like a needle in a haystack.

679
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,999
It's feeling a little bit
like a needle in a haystack.

680
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,079
It's feeling a little bit
like a needle in a haystack.

681
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,999
We're teased with the right signs.

682
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,359
We're teased with the right signs.

683
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,999
We get close with a little bit
of potch,

684
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,519
We get close with a little bit
of potch,

685
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:49,999
but nothing that we can really
usefully do anything with

686
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,999
but nothing that we can really
usefully do anything with

687
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,399
but nothing that we can really
usefully do anything with

688
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:53,999
has presented itself at the moment.

689
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,879
has presented itself at the moment.

690
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:55,999
It's pretty hard going with the
flies, and the heat, and digging.

691
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,999
It's pretty hard going with the
flies, and the heat, and digging.

692
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,439
It's pretty hard going with the
flies, and the heat, and digging.

693
00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,999
Do you think we should try
somewhere else?

694
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,999
Do you think we should try
somewhere else?

695
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:02,119
Do you think we should try
somewhere else?

696
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,999
Maybe we should try and find
something a bit more remote,

697
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,879
Maybe we should try and find
something a bit more remote,

698
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,999
a bit more of an older dump.
Let's go for it.

699
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,799
a bit more of an older dump.
Let's go for it.

700
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,999
BAYDEN: They can't peg that.

701
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,679
BAYDEN: They can't peg that.

702
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,999
My claim goes from there, and comes
all the way through there.

703
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,999
My claim goes from there, and comes
all the way through there.

704
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,559
My claim goes from there, and comes
all the way through there.

705
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,999
At the Tunnel Rats'
Grasshopper Mine,

706
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:22,999
At the Tunnel Rats'
Grasshopper Mine,

707
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:23,999
Rival miners have pegged
an unclaimed area

708
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,559
Rival miners have pegged
an unclaimed area

709
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:25,999
right next to their
most productive bit of land.

710
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,999
right next to their
most productive bit of land.

711
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,999
right next to their
most productive bit of land.

712
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,999
This is already pegged.
No, it's not.

713
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,559
This is already pegged.
No, it's not.

714
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:31,999
What do you mean?
It's not pegged.

715
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,639
What do you mean?
It's not pegged.

716
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:33,999
Bayden's convinced the rival's pegs
are meters inside his own claim,

717
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,999
Bayden's convinced the rival's pegs
are meters inside his own claim,

718
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,999
Bayden's convinced the rival's pegs
are meters inside his own claim,

719
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:38,359
Bayden's convinced the rival's pegs
are meters inside his own claim,

720
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,999
but dad Rodney isn't so sure.

721
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,559
but dad Rodney isn't so sure.

722
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:41,999
So, the way I've pegged it,
how I wanted to peg it,

723
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,999
So, the way I've pegged it,
how I wanted to peg it,

724
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,479
So, the way I've pegged it,
how I wanted to peg it,

725
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,999
was I had my peg coming straight
through yours.

726
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,639
was I had my peg coming straight
through yours.

727
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:47,999
Yeah, that's where it should have
been. And that is how it his is.

728
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,999
Yeah, that's where it should have
been. And that is how it his is.

729
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,039
Yeah, that's where it should have
been. And that is how it his is.

730
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,999
No, it's not, because your peg

731
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,999
No, it's not, because your peg

732
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:54,759
No, it's not, because your peg

733
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:55,999
goes through on an angle like that.

734
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,999
goes through on an angle like that.

735
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,879
goes through on an angle like that.

736
00:16:59,960 --> 00:16:59,999
Bayden has mistakenly
set his pegs at an angle,

737
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,999
Bayden has mistakenly
set his pegs at an angle,

738
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,799
Bayden has mistakenly
set his pegs at an angle,

739
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:03,999
and the rivals have legally pegged
the land right next to him.

740
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,999
and the rivals have legally pegged
the land right next to him.

741
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,999
and the rivals have legally pegged
the land right next to him.

742
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:08,399
and the rivals have legally pegged
the land right next to him.

743
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,999
If the rich opal seam that has
netted the Tunnel Rats $100,000

744
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,999
If the rich opal seam that has
netted the Tunnel Rats $100,000

If the rich opal seam that has
netted the Tunnel Rats $100,000

746
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,999
continues into the rivals' claim,

747
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,439
continues into the rivals' claim,

748
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:15,999
Bayden, Rodney and Leese will
have just lost access to it.

749
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,999
Bayden, Rodney and Leese will
have just lost access to it.

750
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,799
Bayden, Rodney and Leese will
have just lost access to it.

751
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:19,999
We're talking big money here.
And this kind of...

752
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,999
We're talking big money here.
And this kind of...

753
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:22,159
We're talking big money here.
And this kind of...

754
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,999
It's just...you off to the point
where you just...

755
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,639
It's just...you off to the point
where you just...

756
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:25,999
(CHUCKLES) I can't even explain.

757
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,999
(CHUCKLES) I can't even explain.

758
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,959
(CHUCKLES) I can't even explain.

759
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,999
I can't even explain.
Oh, I just can't.

760
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,399
I can't even explain.
Oh, I just can't.

761
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,999
No-one's gonna take care our riches
off us. Not Dad and I.

762
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,879
No-one's gonna take care our riches
off us. Not Dad and I.

763
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:39,999
No. Worked too hard.

764
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,999
No. Worked too hard.

765
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:42,159
No. Worked too hard.

766
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,999
You see my peg here?
Yes, son.

767
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:44,839
You see my peg here?
Yes, son.

768
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,999
See he's pegged there.
Yeah.

769
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,559
See he's pegged there.
Yeah.

770
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:47,999
He can't do it.
Yes, he can.

771
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,199
He can't do it.
Yes, he can.

772
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,999
For Bayden, after working this claim

773
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,679
For Bayden, after working this claim

774
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:51,999
for 17 years with little reward,
it's the last straw.

775
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,999
for 17 years with little reward,
it's the last straw.

776
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,999
for 17 years with little reward,
it's the last straw.

777
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,079
for 17 years with little reward,
it's the last straw.

778
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,999
Come over here.
No. Let's walk over here.

779
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,399
Come over here.
No. Let's walk over here.

780
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,999
No, I don't want to go over there.
I'm looking at my peg.

781
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,799
No, I don't want to go over there.
I'm looking at my peg.

782
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:01,999
You've got to look
where the other peg is. OK?

783
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,999
You've got to look
where the other peg is. OK?

784
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,879
You've got to look
where the other peg is. OK?

785
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:05,999
The only reason I probably even
haven't done it...

786
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,959
The only reason I probably even
haven't done it...

787
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,999
It needs to come over more.
That's what it is.

788
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:12,799
It needs to come over more.
That's what it is.

789
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,999
Yeah.

790
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:14,879
Yeah.

791
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,999
I've made a mistake.
That was my first original spot

792
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,999
I've made a mistake.
That was my first original spot

793
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,199
I've made a mistake.
That was my first original spot

794
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,999
where I put my peg.
But then, I had an angle.

795
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,879
where I put my peg.
But then, I had an angle.

796
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:21,999
Breathe. Breathe, honey. Breathe.

797
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,999
Breathe. Breathe, honey. Breathe.

798
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,559
Breathe. Breathe, honey. Breathe.

799
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,999
Just breathe.
I was scared about it yesterday.

800
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,999
Just breathe.
I was scared about it yesterday.

801
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,119
Just breathe.
I was scared about it yesterday.

802
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,999
I was scared it was gonna happen.

803
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,879
I was scared it was gonna happen.

804
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,999
Just breathe.
Take big breaths. Come on.

805
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,439
Just breathe.
Take big breaths. Come on.

806
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,999
They're still working in your claim,
son. So, don't panic. (SOBS)

807
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,999
They're still working in your claim,
son. So, don't panic. (SOBS)

808
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,279
They're still working in your claim,
son. So, don't panic. (SOBS)

809
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:39,999
That's why I wanted people
to (BLEEP)...

810
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,839
That's why I wanted people
to (BLEEP)...

811
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:41,999
Peg!

812
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Peg!

813
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:43,999
Hey.
That's (BLEEP) why!

814
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,999
Hey.
That's (BLEEP) why!

815
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,599
Hey.
That's (BLEEP) why!

816
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,999
(BLEEP) me, Dad.

817
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,679
(BLEEP) me, Dad.

818
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,999
How many times did I say,
'Please look at my claim?'

819
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,999
How many times did I say,
'Please look at my claim?'

820
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,679
How many times did I say,
'Please look at my claim?'

821
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,999
How many (BLEEP) times, Dad?

822
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,199
How many (BLEEP) times, Dad?

823
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,999
I said, 'Please, look at my claim.'

824
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,999
I said, 'Please, look at my claim.'

825
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,999
I said, 'Please, look at my claim.'

826
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,999
Son...
You know it.

827
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,079
Son...
You know it.

828
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,999
It's all right. You're still working
in your ground.

829
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,759
It's all right. You're still working
in your ground.

830
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:07,999
All I wanna do is,
we'll sell the opal we've got,

831
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,999
All I wanna do is,
we'll sell the opal we've got,

832
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,559
All I wanna do is,
we'll sell the opal we've got,

833
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,999
and I'm done here in Mintabie.
I'm done. I'm done.

834
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,999

I'm done. I'm done.

835
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,079
and I'm done here in Mintabie.
I'm done. I'm done.

836
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:15,999
Son, all this ground through here

837
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,999
Son, all this ground through here

838
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,719
Son, all this ground through here

839
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:19,999
is the ground
that is producing opal, OK?

840
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,999
is the ground
that is producing opal, OK?

841
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,319
is the ground
that is producing opal, OK?

842
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:23,999
Our drive's coming this way.

843
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,999
Our drive's coming this way.

844
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:26,319
Our drive's coming this way.

845
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,999
Here. Underneath.
So, we're nowhere near

846
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,999
Here. Underneath.
So, we're nowhere near

847
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,279
Here. Underneath.
So, we're nowhere near

848
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:31,999
anybody else's ground.

849
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,999
anybody else's ground.

850
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,079
anybody else's ground.

851
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,999
And they have just missed the run
by 20 or 30 metres.

852
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,999
And they have just missed the run
by 20 or 30 metres.

853
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:38,399
And they have just missed the run
by 20 or 30 metres.

854
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,999
It's all right, son.
It's all right, mate.

855
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,959
It's all right, son.
It's all right, mate.

856
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,999
So, we're just gonna continue mining
on our ground.

857
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,999
So, we're just gonna continue mining
on our ground.

858
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,199
So, we're just gonna continue mining
on our ground.

859
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,999
So, nothing's stopping me.

860
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,519
So, nothing's stopping me.

861
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:47,999
When you think
that somebody's coming in

862
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,999
When you think
that somebody's coming in

863
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:50,319
When you think
that somebody's coming in

864
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,999
to steal your dreams...

865
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,959
to steal your dreams...

866
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,999
..yeah, it gets emotional.

867
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,039
..yeah, it gets emotional.

868
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:01,999
Well, if it's silent in there, if we
come back and go through there,

869
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,999
Well, if it's silent in there, if we
come back and go through there,

870
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,239
Well, if it's silent in there, if we
come back and go through there,

871
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,999
we should still hit the edge of it.

872
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,919
we should still hit the edge of it.

873
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,999
Deep in Bondi,
their last remaining untapped mine,

874
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,359
Deep in Bondi,
their last remaining untapped mine,

875
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:11,999
the Bushmen have lost their way.

876
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,999
the Bushmen have lost their way.

877
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,239
the Bushmen have lost their way.

878
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,999
I would've thought
it was on this direction.

879
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,319
I would've thought
it was on this direction.

880
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,999
We keep saying we're looking
for nine inchers.

881
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,679
We keep saying we're looking
for nine inchers.

882
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:19,999
What we mean by that is,

883
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,319
What we mean by that is,

884
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:21,999
one of them, which is a nine-inch
exploratory hole.

885
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,999
one of them, which is a nine-inch
exploratory hole.

886
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,799
one of them, which is a nine-inch
exploratory hole.

887
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,999
They're hunting a group of long-lost
exploratory holes,

888
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,999
They're hunting a group of long-lost
exploratory holes,

889
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,359
They're hunting a group of long-lost
exploratory holes,

890
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,999
rumoured to hold good opal.

891
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:30,559
rumoured to hold good opal.

892
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,999
That's what we're looking for.
The three over there,

893
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,439
That's what we're looking for.
The three over there,

894
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:33,999
they drilled up colour 20 years ago.

895
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,519
they drilled up colour 20 years ago.

896
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:35,999
But Rod and Les have been digging
in the wrong direction.

897
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,999
But Rod and Les have been digging
in the wrong direction.

898
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,439
But Rod and Les have been digging
in the wrong direction.

899
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,999
Bring this right forward
and lay it forward.

900
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,599
Bring this right forward
and lay it forward.

901
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:41,999
We were sort of going in that way
cos we were following a nice seam,

902
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,999
We were sort of going in that way
cos we were following a nice seam,

903
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,559
We were sort of going in that way
cos we were following a nice seam,

904
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:45,999
and we actually had to swing
around about 45 degrees.

905
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,999
and we actually had to swing
around about 45 degrees.

906
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,799
and we actually had to swing
around about 45 degrees.

907
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:53,999
Having struggled to find
any good opal for months

908
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,959
Having struggled to find
any good opal for months

909
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:55,999
and running out of fuel and food,

910
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,039
and running out of fuel and food,

911
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:57,999
the Bushmen need their luck
to change.

912
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,999
the Bushmen need their luck
to change.

913
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:00,679
the Bushmen need their luck
to change.

914
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,999
We could sure do with a payday
at the moment,

915
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,919
We could sure do with a payday
at the moment,

916
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,999
the way things are going.
So, we're really hoping

917
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,959
the way things are going.
So, we're really hoping

918
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,999
that this will be it.

919
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,079
that this will be it.

920
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:09,999
If we don't hit it soon,
it's more goat stew and...

921
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,999
If we don't hit it soon,
it's more goat stew and...

922
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,959
If we don't hit it soon,
it's more goat stew and...

923
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,999
and just scabbing to try and get
diesel to go back underground,

924
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,999
and just scabbing to try and get
diesel to go back underground,

925
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,079
and just scabbing to try and get
diesel to go back underground,

926
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,999
and keep on doing what we're doing.

927
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,879
and keep on doing what we're doing.

930
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:25,999
Well, that sounds a bit exciting.
It is exciting.

931
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,639
Well, that sounds a bit exciting.
It is exciting.

932
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:27,999
You've got it a little harder,
flatter now.

933
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,719
You've got it a little harder,
flatter now.

934
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:29,999
It better be good, I'm telling you.

935
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,999
It better be good, I'm telling you.

936

It better be good, I'm telling you.

937
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,999
Ho! There she is. Look at that.

938
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,999
Ho! There she is. Look at that.

939
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,199
Ho! There she is. Look at that.

940
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:37,999
Not bad bloody black.

941
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,999
Not bad bloody black.

942
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,039
Not bad bloody black.

943
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:41,999
We found an opal. It's not big
money, but it's a real good trace.

944
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,999
We found an opal. It's not big

money, but it's a real good trace.

946
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:45,999
If you're not finding gem opal,
this is the next best thing to it

If you're not finding gem opal,
this is the next best thing to it

If you're not finding gem opal,
this is the next best thing to it

949
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,999
because it's a really good sign

950
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,599

951
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:51,999

It was in the truth section
of the fiction section.

959
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:01,999
We might suck this out
so I can get in here properly, mate,

960
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,759
We might suck this out
so I can get in here properly, mate,

961
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:03,999
cos it is continuing.

962
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,719
cos it is continuing.

963
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:05,999
I might be able to undercut it
with the digger.

00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,999
I might be able to undercut it
with the digger.

965
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,199
I might be able to undercut it
with the digger.

966
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,999
To chase the opal, they first need
to clear out the mined earth.

967

To chase the opal, they first need

Guess what, Les?
Not sucking?

00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,879
The belts are off.

984
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:37,999
The belts have come off the pulley

985
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,959
The belts have come off the pulley

986
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,999
that powers the blower's
20-year-old vacuum pump.

987
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,239
that powers the blower's
20-year-old vacuum pump.

988
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:43,999
Jesus.
What else can go bloody wrong?

989
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,999
Jesus.
What else can go bloody wrong?

990
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,639
Jesus.
What else can go bloody wrong?

991
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:47,999
We were sucking out,
and all of a sudden,

992
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,839
We were sucking out,
and all of a sudden,

993
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:49,999
the blowers stopped working.

994
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,919
the blowers stopped working.

995
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,999
It had spat all the drive belts off.

996
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,319
It had spat all the drive belts off.

997
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:55,999
We're just getting so close to those
nine-inch exploratory holes.

998
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,999
We're just getting so close to those
nine-inch exploratory holes.

999
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,159
We're just getting so close to those
nine-inch exploratory holes.

1000
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,999
And we're starting to get really
nice potch with good colour.

1001
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,999
And we're starting to get really
nice potch with good colour.

1002
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:02,079
And we're starting to get really
nice potch with good colour.

1003
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,999
It's just that frustration in not
being to get down there, you know?

1004
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,999
It's just that frustration in not
being to get down there, you know?

1005
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,239
It's just that frustration in not
being to get down there, you know?

1006
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,999
See, it's cracked here.
It's cracked there.

1007
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,519
See, it's cracked here.
It's cracked there.

1008
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:09,999
The pulley is broken here,
its cracked through here,

1009
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,159
The pulley is broken here,
its cracked through here,

1010
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:11,999
and it's not staying on the shaft.

1011
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,359
and it's not staying on the shaft.

1012
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:13,999
We're just gonna weld the bloody
thing up, and be done with it.

1013
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,999
We're just gonna weld the bloody
thing up, and be done with it.

1014
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:16,199
We're just gonna weld the bloody
thing up, and be done with it.

1015
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,999
I know you don't wanna do it, but...

1016
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,279
I know you don't wanna do it, but...

1017
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:19,999
Yeah, I know, because...
No, I know. Don't tell me why.

1018
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:20,799
Yeah, I know, because...
No, I know. Don't tell me why.

1019
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,999
Don't tell me what's gonna happen,
cos I don't wanna know.

1020
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,679
Don't tell me what's gonna happen,
cos I don't wanna know.

1021
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:23,999
All I wanna know is,
if you weld it there,

1022
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,999
All I wanna know is,
if you weld it there,

1023
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:26,999
All I wanna know is,
if you weld it there,

1024
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,999
it's not gonna kill either of us,
is it?

1025
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,999
it's not gonna kill either of us,
is it?

1026
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,999
We won't be up here. No, OK.
So what are we worried about?

1027
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,519
We won't be up here. No, OK.
So what are we worried about?

1028
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:31,999
Let's just bloody do it.

1029
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,279
Let's just bloody do it.

1030
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:35,999
Rod wanted to do the dodgy cos I'm
not into that dodgy stuff much.

1031
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,999
Rod wanted to do the dodgy cos I'm
not into that dodgy stuff much.

1032
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,879
Rod wanted to do the dodgy cos I'm
not into that dodgy stuff much.

1033
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,999
I'd sooner fix it properly.

1034
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,279
I'd sooner fix it properly.

1035
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:43,999
You shouldn't do it,
but didn't have much choice.

1036
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,999
You shouldn't do it,
but didn't have much choice.

1037
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,279
You shouldn't do it,
but didn't have much choice.

1038
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:47,999
So, I wanna keep digging.
Yeah, we need some money.

1039
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,999
So, I wanna keep digging.
Yeah, we need some money.

1040
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,079
So, I wanna keep digging.
Yeah, we need some money.

1041
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,999
Now we're ready to roll.

1042
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,759
Now we're ready to roll.

1043
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,999
Well done, mate. Beauty.

1044
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,519
Well done, mate. Beauty.

1045
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,999
It's bloody good to be back at work,
get a bit of digging done.

1046
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,519
It's bloody good to be back at work,
get a bit of digging done.

1047
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:07,999
You reckon you can pass us the
jackhammer, Les? Yeah, right-o.

1048
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,999
You reckon you can pass us the
jackhammer, Les? Yeah, right-o.

1049
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,399
You reckon you can pass us the
jackhammer, Les? Yeah, right-o.

1050
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:11,999
There's a bit of bloody purply blue
stuff here in the wall.

1051
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,999
There's a bit of bloody purply blue
stuff here in the wall.

1052
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,479
There's a bit of bloody purply blue
stuff here in the wall.

1053
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:15,999
Now, I've got a seam coming down
there.

1054
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,559
Now, I've got a seam coming down
there.

1055
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:17,999
I've got another seam
coming down there.

1056
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,639
I've got another seam
coming down there.

1057
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:19,999
Then I've got a horizontal
coming down here.

1058
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,719
Then I've got a horizontal
coming down here.

1059
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:21,999
And where it all meets, that's
generally where you find colour.

1060
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,999
And where it all meets, that's
generally where you find colour.

1061
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,439
And where it all meets, that's
generally where you find colour.

1062
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:25,999
You better get the lid
off the colour tin.

1063
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,559
You better get the lid
off the colour tin.

1064
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:27,999
We're gonna need it, I think.

1065
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,439
We're gonna need it, I think.

1066
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:29,999
I'm getting that feeling.
You got the feeling?

1067
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,919
I'm getting that feeling.
You got the feeling?

1068
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,999
I've got the bloody feeling, mate.

1069
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:34,119
I've got the bloody feeling, mate.

1070
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,999
You got your hand on it?

1071
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:36,199
You got your hand on it?

1072
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,999
Bloody beautiful. I can see that
from here. Yeah, look at that.

1073
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,999
Bloody beautiful. I can see that
from here. Yeah, look at that.

1074
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,519
Bloody beautiful. I can see that
from here. Yeah, look at that.

1075
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,999
Yeah, it's gotta be good.

1076
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,879
Yeah, it's gotta be good.

1077
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,999
This is just getting better
and better.

1078
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,679
This is just getting better
and better.

1079
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,999
We've got a four-wheel drive.
Let's do a bit of off road.

1080
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,199
We've got a four-wheel drive.
Let's do a bit of off road.

1081
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:57,999
See if we can find
some old-timer's dig-ins.

1082
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,999
See if we can find
some old-timer's dig-ins.

1083
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,279
See if we can find
some old-timer's dig-ins.

1084
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,999
In outback Queensland,
novice miners Karl and Mary

1085
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,999
In outback Queensland,
novice miners Karl and Mary

1086
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,079
In outback Queensland,
novice miners Karl and Mary

1087
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,999
are hoping to find
valuable Boulder Opal

1088
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,719
are hoping to find
valuable Boulder Opal

1089
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,999
by sifting through the waste dirt
from 100-year-old abandoned mines.

1090
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,999
by sifting through the waste dirt
from 100-year-old abandoned mines.

1091
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,999
by sifting through the waste dirt
from 100-year-old abandoned mines.

1092
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,079
by sifting through the waste dirt
from 100-year-old abandoned mines.

1093
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,999
We've been told that having a scratch
around in some of the old-timer dumps

1094
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,399
We've been told that having a scratch
around in some of the old-timer dumps

1095
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:15,999
can turn up some material.

1096
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,559
can turn up some material.

1097
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:17,999
Those boys used to throw
valuable stuff away.

1098
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,919
Those boys used to throw
valuable stuff away.

1099
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,999
It wasn't valuable to them, but it
is to us. Yeah, absolutely.

1100
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,759
It wasn't valuable to them, but it
is to us. Yeah, absolutely.

1101
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,999
But they've never mined before,

1102
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:24,839
But they've never mined before,

1103
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,999
and have so far found nothing.

1104
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,239
and have so far found nothing.

1105
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:27,999
We've realised just how much hard
work it's gonna be.

1106
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,999
We've realised just how much hard
work it's gonna be.

1107
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,039
We've realised just how much hard
work it's gonna be.

1108
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,999
We scratched around, we got hot,
we got sweaty, we've got

1109
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:32,479
We scratched around, we got hot,
we got sweaty, we've got

1110
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,999
covered in flies and dusty, and
really didn't turn anything up.

1111
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,519
covered in flies and dusty, and
really didn't turn anything up.

1112
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:35,999
It's a big expectations to turn up to
a place you've never been before,

1113
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,999
It's a big expectations to turn up to
a place you've never been before,

1114
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,319
It's a big expectations to turn up to
a place you've never been before,

1115
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:39,999
do something
you've never done before.

1116
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,999
do something
you've never done before.

1117
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,239
do something
you've never done before.

1118
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,999
They're now gambling
what little they have left

1119
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,999
They're now gambling
what little they have left

1120
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:45,999
on hiring a 4x4 to help them go even
deeper into the harsh outback.

1121
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,999
on hiring a 4x4 to help them go even
deeper into the harsh outback.

1122
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,999
on hiring a 4x4 to help them go even
deeper into the harsh outback.

1123
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,479
on hiring a 4x4 to help them go even
deeper into the harsh outback.

1124
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:51,999
Well, this looks like it could be it.
Brilliant.

1125
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,999
Well, this looks like it could be it.
Brilliant.

1126
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,359
Well, this looks like it could be it.
Brilliant.

1127
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:55,999
The further they go,
the greater chance they have

1128
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,999
The further they go,
the greater chance they have

1129
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,439
The further they go,
the greater chance they have

1130
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,999
of discovering old mine sites that
haven't been thoroughly picked over.

1131
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,999
of discovering old mine sites that
haven't been thoroughly picked over.

1132
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,079
of discovering old mine sites that
haven't been thoroughly picked over.

1133
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:03,999
These are really old dumps.
They're probably 60, 70 years old.

1134
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,999
These are really old dumps.
They're probably 60, 70 years old.

1135
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,919
These are really old dumps.
They're probably 60, 70 years old.

1136
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,999
So, the good stuff's probably been
taken from the top.

1137
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:10,439
So, the good stuff's probably been

1173
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:57,999
it will create a full opal face

1174
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,999

1175
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,999

00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,999
Like, it's trying. There's a fleck
of red, but that's all.

1302
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:56,719
Like, it's trying. There's a fleck
of red, but that's all.

1303
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,999
Up here, we've got potch and colour,

1304
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,439
Up here, we've got potch and colour,

1305
00:29:59,520 --> 00:29:59,999
and here we've got green.

1306
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,719
and here we've got green.

1307
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:01,999
We'll come in over the top
and we'll drop it down.

1308
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,999
We'll come in over the top
and we'll drop it down.

1309
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,159
We'll come in over the top
and we'll drop it down.

1310
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:05,999
You don't want to get the jackhammer
too close,

1311
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,279
You don't want to get the jackhammer
too close,

1312
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:07,999
or you'll smash up all your opal.

1313
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,959
or you'll smash up all your opal.

1314
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,999
Right-o, give us a hand.
You all right?

1315
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,999
Right-o, give us a hand.
You all right?

1316
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:12,519
Right-o, give us a hand.
You all right?

1317
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,999
Oh, yeah, there's green up there.
Oh, yes.

1318
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,159
Oh, yeah, there's green up there.
Oh, yes.

1319
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,999
Look at that.
Look at that. Yeah.

1320
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,999
Look at that.
Look at that. Yeah.

1321
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,519
Look at that.
Look at that. Yeah.

1322
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:19,999
It's pay dirt, mate. It's pay dirt.

1323
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,999
It's pay dirt, mate. It's pay dirt.

1324
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,119
It's pay dirt, mate. It's pay dirt.

1325
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,999
All right, what do you wanna do?
Green, blues, reds.

1326
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,479
All right, what do you wanna do?
Green, blues, reds.

1327
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,999
Look at those pieces.
(LEESE EXCLAIMING)

1328
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:34,759
Look at those pieces.
(LEESE EXCLAIMING)

1329
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,999
You know, it just seems like...

1330
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,999
You know, it just seems like...

1331
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:39,999
it just keeps on getting better.

1332
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,119
it just keeps on getting better.

1333
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,999
Chuck it in the drum, and let's get
it all. Yeah, let's get it all.

1334
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,999
Chuck it in the drum, and let's get

1336
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,999
Bayden, look at that.
Oh.

1337
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,559
Bayden, look at that.
Oh.

1338
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:49,999
I can't see any there.
No, I got it off with my hand.

1339
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,999
I can't see any there.
No, I got it off with my hand.

1340
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,879
I can't see any there.
No, I got it off with my hand.

1341
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:53,999
(GASPS) Look at that.
Look at freaking... Yes!

1342
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,999
(GASPS) Look at that.

(GASPS) Look at that.
Look at freaking... Yes!

1345
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,999
Yes! That's what I'm talking about.

1346
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,479
Yes! That's what I'm talking about.

1347
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:01,999
Yes! Yes!

1348
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,559
Yes! Yes!

1349
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:07,999
I'm nearly shaking!
Yes!

1350
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,999
I'm nearly shaking!
Yes!

1351
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,439
I'm nearly shaking!
Yes!

1352
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,999
Yeah.
We need another bucket.

1353
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,999
Yeah.
We need another bucket.

1354
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:18,199
Yeah.
We need another bucket.

1355
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,999
Oh, use the Bobcat.

1356
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,279
Oh, use the Bobcat.

1357
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,999
I think I'm bragging now.
I think I might have

1358
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,519
I think I'm bragging now.
I think I might have

1359
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,999
to just start dumping in the Bobcat.

1360
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:24,319
to just start dumping in the Bobcat.

1361
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,999
It's the find they desperately need
to move out of Mintabie,

1362
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,999
It's the find they desperately need
to move out of Mintabie,

1363
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,039
It's the find they desperately need
to move out of Mintabie,

1364
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,999
and keep their opal dream alive.

1365
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,999
and keep their opal dream alive.

1366
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,999
The green just held off
and held off and held off,

1367
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,519
The green just held off
and held off and held off,

1368
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:33,999
and all of a sudden, it's like, 'Hey.
It's time to pay you.' Come find me.

1369
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,999
and all of a sudden, it's like, 'Hey.
It's time to pay you.' Come find me.

1370
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,039
and all of a sudden, it's like, 'Hey.
It's time to pay you.' Come find me.

1371
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,999
And, mate, it's come at a good time
for us, I'll tell you.

1372
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,999
And, mate, it's come at a good time
for us, I'll tell you.

1373
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,679
And, mate, it's come at a good time
for us, I'll tell you.

1374
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:47,999
Hope we don't lose the colour.

1375
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,559
Hope we don't lose the colour.

1376
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,999
Oh.

1377
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,759
Oh.

1378
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,999
I think I've stuffed it up.

1379
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,519
I think I've stuffed it up.

1380
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,999
At the start of his dream journey
to become an opal miner,

1381
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,559
At the start of his dream journey
to become an opal miner,

1382
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:03,999
British ex-schoolteacher Carl has
made his first rookie mistake.

1383
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,999
British ex-schoolteacher Carl has
made his first rookie mistake.

1384
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,999
British ex-schoolteacher Carl has
made his first rookie mistake.

1385
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,439
British ex-schoolteacher Carl has
made his first rookie mistake.

1386
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,999
I got overexcited, trying
to get the sunspots out

1387
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,679
I got overexcited, trying
to get the sunspots out

1388
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,999
so I could see the colour,

1389
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,359
so I could see the colour,

1390
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,999
and I've taken both out. The colour,
and the sunspots have gone.

1391
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,519
and I've taken both out. The colour,
and the sunspots have gone.

1392
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:15,999
We're just down to bare ironstone.

1393
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,599
We're just down to bare ironstone.

1394
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:17,999
With its high moisture content,
opal is relatively soft

1395
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,999
With its high moisture content,
opal is relatively soft

1396
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,439
With its high moisture content,
opal is relatively soft

1397
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:21,999
compared to other gems,
and is easily damaged

1398
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,999
compared to other gems,
and is easily damaged

1399
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,599
compared to other gems,
and is easily damaged

1400
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,999
by an inexperienced cutter.

1401
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,079
by an inexperienced cutter.

1402
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:27,999
We only had two stones that looked
like they were promising.

1403
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,879
We only had two stones that looked
like they were promising.

1404
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:29,999
So, we've got one left.
That one has to work

1405
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,999
So, we've got one left.
That one has to work

1406
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:32,119
So, we've got one left.
That one has to work

1407
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,999
if we're gonna make any money.

1408
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,919
if we're gonna make any money.

1409
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,999
I'm just letting
the stone roll around,

1410
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,959
I'm just letting
the stone roll around,

1411
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,999
taking off some more of the ironstone
and letting the shape appear.

1412
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,719
taking off some more of the ironstone
and letting the shape appear.

1413
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:41,999
Jeweller Mary is already crafting
$1,000 worth of gold

1414
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,999
Jeweller Mary is already crafting
$1,000 worth of gold

1415
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,999
Jeweller Mary is already crafting
$1,000 worth of gold

1416
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,239
Jeweller Mary is already crafting
$1,000 worth of gold

1417
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,999
into a ring for the stone.

1418
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,319
into a ring for the stone.

1419
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,999
Because gold's quite expensive
to buy, I usually just buy it

1420
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,599
Because gold's quite expensive
to buy, I usually just buy it

1421
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:53,999
for each commission that I do,

1422
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,719
for each commission that I do,

1423
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:55,999
but I've got a little piece
left over.

1424
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,999
but I've got a little piece
left over.

1425
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,759
but I've got a little piece
left over.

1426
00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,999
We're just trying
to make the opal fit.

1427
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,439
We're just trying
to make the opal fit.

1428
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,999
Mary, do you wanna bring your gold
out, darling, and see if this fits?

1429
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,799
Mary, do you wanna bring your gold
out, darling, and see if this fits?

1430
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:07,999
Yeah.

1431
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,479
Yeah.

1432
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,999
That's gonna be a beautiful ring,
isn't it? Yeah, well done.

1433
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,839
That's gonna be a beautiful ring,
isn't it? Yeah, well done.

1434
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:15,999
Opals are quite soft. As a gemstone,
they're quite fragile.

1435
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,999
Opals are quite soft. As a gemstone,
they're quite fragile.

1436
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,999
Opals are quite soft. As a gemstone,
they're quite fragile.

1437
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,159
Opals are quite soft. As a gemstone,
they're quite fragile.

1438
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:21,999
If there's a slight weakness in
the opal, it can crack and break.

1439
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,999
If there's a slight weakness in
the opal, it can crack and break.

1440
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:24,959
If there's a slight weakness in
the opal, it can crack and break.

1441
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,999
So this is quite nerve wrecking.

1442
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,839
So this is quite nerve wrecking.

1443
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,999
So I think that's almost there.

1444
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,999
So I think that's almost there.

1445
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,999
It goes in there nicely, but it
just, sort of, catches slightly.

1446
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,999
It goes in there nicely, but it
just, sort of, catches slightly.

1447
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,879
It goes in there nicely, but it
just, sort of, catches slightly.

1448
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:39,999
Carl.
What?

1449
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,959
Carl.
What?

1450
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,999
The opal's still too big.
Are you kidding me?

1451
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,599
The opal's still too big.
Are you kidding me?

1452
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:45,999
I need to have a bit of gold still
on the outside of the back plate.

1453
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,999
I need to have a bit of gold still
on the outside of the back plate.

1454
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,039
I need to have a bit of gold still
on the outside of the back plate.

1455
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:49,999
That's gonna be a lot smaller, Mary.

1456
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,279
That's gonna be a lot smaller, Mary.

1457
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:51,999
It needs to be like this
on both sides.

1458
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,599
It needs to be like this
on both sides.

1459
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:53,999
That's a lot.

1460
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,319
That's a lot.

1461
00:33:59,360 --> 00:33:59,999
Usually, you start with the opal,

1462
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,359
Usually, you start with the opal,

1463
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:01,999
and you cut the metal
to the size of the opal.

1464
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,439
and you cut the metal
to the size of the opal.

1465
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:03,999
But because gold
is hideously expensive,

1466
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,959
But because gold
is hideously expensive,

1467
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,999
we've had to trim the opal
to the size of the metal,

1468
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,599
we've had to trim the opal
to the size of the metal,

1469
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:09,999
which is just heart-breaking.

1470
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,279
which is just heart-breaking.

1471
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:15,999
Yeah, that'll do. Stop!

1472
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,679
Yeah, that'll do. Stop!

1473
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:19,999
So, now we've re-cut the stone,
and I've filed the ring.

1474
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,999
So, now we've re-cut the stone,
and I've filed the ring.

1475
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,799
So, now we've re-cut the stone,
and I've filed the ring.

1476
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:23,999
So, now, hopefully,
when I put it
on there,

1477
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,999
So, now, hopefully,
when I put it
on there,

1478
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,439
So, now, hopefully,
when I put it
on there,

1479
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:27,999
it should stand up on its own.

1480
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,639
it should stand up on its own.

1481
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:29,999
I've got a couple of pieces
of solder here

1482
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,879
I've got a couple of pieces
of solder here

1483
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:31,999
that will hopefully join the ring
band to the setting.

1484
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,999
that will hopefully join the ring
band to the setting.

1485
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,999
that will hopefully join the ring
band to the setting.

1486
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,319
that will hopefully join the ring
band to the setting.

1487
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:39,999
So, now, I've just got to heat
it all to the same temperature.

1488
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,999
So, now, I've just got to heat
it all to the same temperature.

1489
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,679
So, now, I've just got to heat
it all to the same temperature.

1490
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:43,999
And then I'll pickle that
for about 40 minutes.

1491
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,999
And then I'll pickle that
for about 40 minutes.

1492
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,799
And then I'll pickle that
for about 40 minutes.

1493
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:47,999
The ring is pickled in a solution
of acid and water

1494
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,999
The ring is pickled in a solution
of acid and water

1495
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,119
The ring is pickled in a solution
of acid and water

1496
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:51,999
to remove residues from the solder.

1497
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,999
to remove residues from the solder.

1498
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,159
to remove residues from the solder.

1499
00:34:54,240 --> 00:34:55,999
And finally, the opal is placed
in its setting.

1500
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,999
And finally, the opal is placed
in its setting.

1501
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,239
And finally, the opal is placed
in its setting.

1502
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,999
It's the perfect size,
which is why it's taken too long.

1503
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,999
It's the perfect size,
which is why it's taken too long.

1504
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,279
It's the perfect size,
which is why it's taken too long.

1505
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:03,999
Setting opals is quite dodgy

1506
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,519
Setting opals is quite dodgy

1507
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:05,999
because they're so fragile.

1508
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,759
because they're so fragile.

1509
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:07,999
When it just survives the whole
process, it's really nice to see it.

1510
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,999
When it just survives the whole
process, it's really nice to see it.

1511
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,839
When it just survives the whole
process, it's really nice to see it.

1512
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:11,999
Karl and Mary
have turned a $500 stone

1513
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,999
Karl and Mary
have turned a $500 stone

1514
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,359
Karl and Mary
have turned a $500 stone

1515
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:15,999
and $1,000 of gold into a piece
they hope is worth over $6,000.

1516
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,999
and $1,000 of gold into a piece
they hope is worth over $6,000.

and $1,000 of gold into a piece
they hope is worth over $6,000.

1519
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:21,999
The ring is 14 karat gold.

1520
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,439
The ring is 14 karat gold.

1521
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:23,999
$6,000 even sounds cheap,
but we need the money.

1522
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,999
$6,000 even sounds cheap,
but we need the money.

1523
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,759
$6,000 even sounds cheap,
but we need the money.

1524
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:27,999
And Carl has polished five
more lower quality stones.

1525
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,999
And Carl has polished five
more lower quality stones.

1526
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:30,959
And Carl has polished five
more lower quality stones.

1527
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,999
The stones, we'd like $1,000,
but I'd probably ask for $1,500.

1528
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,999
The stones, we'd like $1,000,
but I'd probably ask for $1,500.

but I'd probably ask for $1,500.

1530
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:35,999
In their first ever opal deal,

00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:45,999
Good to see you, Erik.

Good to see you, Erik.
Mary, how are you?

1541
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,999
I'm an opal dealer from Sydney,
and they mentioned to me

1542
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:50,719
I'm an opal dealer from Sydney,
and they mentioned to me

1543
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,999
that they have some nice pieces that
they would like to show to me,

1544
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,999
that they have some nice pieces that
they would like to show to me,

1545
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,839
that they have some nice pieces that
they would like to show to me,

1546
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,999
and maybe wanna sell.

1547
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,919
and maybe wanna sell.

1548
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:57,999
So, we've managed to find a few
pieces... Yeah.

1549
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,279
So, we've managed to find a few
pieces... Yeah.

1550
00:35:59,360 --> 00:35:59,999
..which I've cut and polished.

1551
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,199
..which I've cut and polished.

1552
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,999
So that's those there.
Yeah.

1553
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,079
So that's those there.
Yeah.

1554
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,999
ERIK: Yeah, OK, that's a bit of...

1555
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,999
ERIK: Yeah, OK, that's a bit of...

1556
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,039
ERIK: Yeah, OK, that's a bit of...

1557
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:09,999
It's not worth a real big amount
of money.

1558
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,599
It's not worth a real big amount
of money.

1559
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:11,999
I've also made a ring
with a really nice opal.

1560
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,999
I've also made a ring
with a really nice opal.

1561
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,199
I've also made a ring
with a really nice opal.

1562
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:17,999
Oh, that's beautiful.

1563
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,879
Oh, that's beautiful.

1564
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:19,999
So, it's 14-karat gold.

1565
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,999
So, it's 14-karat gold.

1566
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,999
That's our prize gem out of the lot.

1567
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,159
That's our prize gem out of the lot.

1568
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:25,999
It's clean face.
It's got all the colours. Yeah.

1569
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,879
It's clean face.
It's got all the colours. Yeah.

1570
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:29,999
And you like to sell the whole lot
as one parcel lot?

1571
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,999
And you like to sell the whole lot
as one parcel lot?

1572

And you like to sell the whole lot
as one parcel lot?

1573

Ideally.
So, how much are you looking at?

1574
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,439
Ideally.
So, how much are you looking at?

1575
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:35,999
We'd like $1,500 for the stones.

1576
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,999
We'd like $1,500 for the stones.

1577
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,159
We'd like $1,500 for the stones.

1578
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:39,999
And the ring's gotta be worth at
least $6,000. $6,000. Yeah.

1579
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,159
And the ring's gotta be worth at
least $6,000. $6,000. Yeah.

1580
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:41,999
Yeah.
$7,500.

1581
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,999
Yeah.
$7,500.

1582
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,999
You know, $7,500 for the lot,
I think it's a bit high for me.

1583
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,679
You know, $7,500 for the lot,
I think it's a bit high for me.

1584
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,999
I'm interested in it.

1585
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,199
I'm interested in it.

1586
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:53,999
I can give you $6,500 for the lot.

1587

1589
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:57,999
What do you think about that?

1590
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,879
What do you think about that?

1591
00:36:59,960 --> 00:36:59,999
Erm... What do you reckon?

1592
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,999
Erm... What do you reckon?

1593
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,279
Erm... What do you reckon?

1594
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,999
It's less than what we wanted, but...
Yeah, I think...

1595
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,519
It's less than what we wanted, but...
Yeah, I think...

1596
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:07,999
Yeah, we need it, really, don't we?
Yeah.

1597
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,719
Yeah, we need it, really, don't we?
Yeah.

1598
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:09,999
Yeah, OK, $6,500.
OK.

1599
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,919
Yeah, OK, $6,500.
OK.

1600
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,999
Thanks, Erik.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

Their opal is boulder opal,

cut and polished with one set
in a gold ring.

00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,759
cut and polished with one set
in a gold ring.

1606
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:19,999
Worth $6,500, it's just the
kick-start the Brits need

1607

Worth $6,500, it's just the

to begin their new life
as opal miners.

1611

to begin their new life
as opal miners.

1612
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:27,999
This place has been really good for
us. It's been a fantastic experience,

1613

1650
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,719
I'm scared to dig it out, Les.
It's been that long.

00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,999
Valuing opal is subject
to a number of variables,

1776
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,919
Valuing opal is subject
to a number of variables,

1777
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,999
including colour, size,
brightness and shape.

1778
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,999
including colour, size,
brightness and shape.

1779
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:26,199
including colour, size,
brightness and shape.

1780
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,999
All righty, so, the two categories
I've separated into

1781
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,999
All righty, so, the two categories
I've separated into

1782
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,359
All righty, so, the two categories
I've separated into

1783
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,999
is your top grade, which is all
you're solid cutters here

1784
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,999
is your top grade, which is all
you're solid cutters here

1785
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,519
is your top grade, which is all
you're solid cutters here

1786
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,999
with a very bright bar
along the top of it,

1787
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,479
with a very bright bar
along the top of it,

1788
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:37,999
and using the potch as your base.

1789
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,879
and using the potch as your base.

1790
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:39,999
And this is the largest stone
in the lesser grade.

1791
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,999
And this is the largest stone
in the lesser grade.

1792
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:42,559
And this is the largest stone
in the lesser grade.

1793
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:43,999
This one's more of a jelly, and you
can see the comparison difference,

1794
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,999
This one's more of a jelly, and you
can see the comparison difference,

1795
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:46,719
This one's more of a jelly, and you
can see the comparison difference,

1796
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,999
where you've got
a really dense pattern

1797
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:48,799
where you've got
a really dense pattern

1798
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,999
and very bright to a jelly, which is
very grey in the lower grade.

1799
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,999
and very bright to a jelly, which is
very grey in the lower grade.

1800
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,599
and very bright to a jelly, which is
very grey in the lower grade.

1801
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:53,999
And you got a lot of smaller stones.

1802
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,879
And you got a lot of smaller stones.

1803
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:55,999
Bear opal a mixture of lighter
and darker Mintabie crystal.

1804

1807
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,999
It's in the rough,
and there is 800 grams of it.

1808
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,999
It's in the rough,
and there is 800 grams of it.

1809

It's in the rough,
and there is 800 grams of it.

1810
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:05,999
So how much have we got here, Rob?

1811
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,359
So how much have we got here, Rob?

1812
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:07,999
Well, for the four parcels,
obviously, the top two are the best.

1813
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,999
Well, for the four parcels,
obviously, the top two are the best.

Well, for the four parcels,
obviously, the top two are the best.

1815
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,999
The second two are very nice colour,
but smaller pieces.

1816
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,359
The second two are very nice colour,
but smaller pieces.

1817
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:13,999
I've come to a total general
estimate of...

1818
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,999
I've come to a total general
estimate of...

1819
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,879
I've come to a total general
estimate of...

1820
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:21,999
$37,500.

1821
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:22,919

I'm excited. Finally.
High-five!

1829
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:33,999
LEESE: I think that mine has
a lot more to give.

1830
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,999
LEESE: I think that mine has
a lot more to give.

1831

one pocket after the next pocket.

1838
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:45,999
It just makes me so happy
that I haven't wasted my life.

00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:52,479
That's something
that we've been waiting for

1844
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,999
for a long, long, long time,
to see it and experience it.

for a long, long, long time,
to see it and experience it.

1847
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,999
Opal keeps on coming out,
and all of a sudden,

1848
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,159
Opal keeps on coming out,
and all of a sudden,

1849
00:42:59,240 --> 00:42:59,999
it's red, it's greens, its oranges,
and all sudden it gets darker.

it's red, it's greens, its oranges,
and all sudden it gets darker.

And it's just... It's beautiful.

1854
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:05,999
I'm just hoping
when it actually does make

1855
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,439
I'm just hoping
when it actually does make

1856
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:07,999
proper thick stuff, that's gonna be
all black opal, mate.

1857

proper thick stuff, that's gonna be
all black opal, mate.
