Flooded Opal Mine, Hardcore Digging For Gems!
After months of downtime, we have finally made our way back out to white cliffs to begin a season of mining only to discover the mine flooded!
With thousands of litres of water between us and the opal level we grabbed a pump got it going and focus our efforts on another area of the claim.
Utilising a blower I purchased and refurbished Jc set to work where I left off. After some very hard days work he managed to sink the shaft down to a depth of 34ft and found a bit of opal trace in the wall that eventually lead to a small seam of red multicoloured crystal opal.
With the help of locals Max and Wazza we were able to shift our waste dirt from under the blower and get the digger down into the mine!
A special thanks goes out to our sponsor for the video Opal Auctions who made all this possible!
