- A short recollection of an afternoon we spent having a quick look down a claim on New Olympic. Many years ago we found opal so exceedingly beautiful it was impossible to forget. Thanks to some periodic flooding we located a wash which had dislodged previously buried traces leading to a nice pocket that had been blown into the dirt by old timers explosives.
This opal has all been long sold.

Knowing how lights, and cameras don't always capture what an opal really looks like in person, I'd imagine those stones are frikken AMAZING!!! 😳
It was pretty nice color!
Beautiful stuff
Thanks again! Olympic is an elusive beast. I can only imagine what the big finds were like!
you guys are awesome 👌
Haha, Thanks bro, We will do our best to live up to that by making a video of a million dollar patch! Coming soon, lol. 🤞🏼🙏😉
Love it Loof
Cheers bruv. Nekone coming soon is loofy AF!
Stunning material,would love them on my wheels 😉 good luck in the future! Stay safe✌
Thanks mate! What we did cut was exceptional if only a small parcel. Thanks for watching!
Thats great stuff, maybe more hiding up there
I reckon mate! The opal is such high quality, I always dream of going back and seeing if we can find more.
beautiful as...
Small but mighty. If only we could find a bucketful of this quality.. Still it was a good find. We are digging a spot not far from this area so fingers crossed!
Wow, brava
Thank you!
@@Opaldigger i have a handfull of material I believe to be parts of the Original Olympic finds. Though your do seam darker? Then the old stuff ive seen examples of.
Its something special, you only see in retirement hoards nowadays!
We have to see it cut!! 😍
@@OpalholicsAnonymous Oh yeah, that is amazing, Olympic is a big basin of about 16 square km and the old field is legendary. I had Old timer friends who were there and the stories are just sickening and mind blowing at the same time haha. i think you're right in that most Olympic is white, light or crystal but it does have its patches of dark material too. Cheers again for watching mate!
@@Opaldigger you found a money patch! I cant wait to buy some opal from you when i need opal next! Love the content!
nice stuff mate
Thank you! Some of the stories of Olympic make your ears water.. I’d love to find a real patch of this kind of material one day, we are looking to give Olympic another red hot crack soon!
@@Opaldigger i wold love to get out that way one day have a look around , normally go to grawin/ lightning ridge for a couple weeks a year
@@pkgoldopalhunting I would also love to get out to LR and Grawin! Never seen any eastern fields except White Cliffs briefly, but have scratched around all the SA fields including most of the very remote and closed ones back in the day. Australia is bloody awesome.
