fields of Lightning Ridge. 102 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,599 Old Nobbys is one of the original fields of Lightning Ridge. 103 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,999 Nobbys is a colloquialism or a corruption of the term nodule, 104 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,999 Nobbys is a colloquialism or a corruption of the term nodule, 105 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,039 Nobbys is a colloquialism or a corruption of the term nodule, 106 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,999 a nodule of opal, 107 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,199 a nodule of opal, 108 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,999 which got turned into nobbys of opal, 109 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,759 which got turned into nobbys of opal, 110 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:35,999 and now that field, 111 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,399 and now that field, 112 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:37,999 because it's one of the very first where they found a heap of nobbys, 113 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,999 because it's one of the very first where they found a heap of nobbys, 114 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,479 because it's one of the very first where they found a heap of nobbys, 115 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,999 I guess that's why they called it Old Nobbys. 116 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,839 I

it's just basically a huge sieve. 122 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,999 So we drop the material on top on the angle. 123 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,959 So we drop the material on top on the angle. 124 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,999 All the big boulders that won't fit through 125 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,679 All the big boulders that won't fit through 126 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:57,999 roll to the

goes underneath. 129 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:01,999 We scoop it out of there and then onto the truck. 130 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,399 We scoop it out of there and then onto the truck. 131 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,999 It's just a way to get these big hunks of sandstone out of the mix. 132 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,999 It's just a way to get these big hunks of sandstone out of the mix. 133 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,199 It's just a way to get these big hunks of sandstone out of the mix. 134 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:09,999 We're just going to get a few trucks of this dirt, 135 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,999 We're just going to get a few trucks of this dirt, 136 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,039 We're just going to get a few trucks of this dirt, 137 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,999
