    I love watching Rod and Les. They are naturally funny and very down to earth. I think they're a bit of a classic.

    The way these two mates look after each other in hard times is a lesson in humanity, I'd love to see them hit the jackpot.

    It just goes to show how hard it is 2 Opal mine, prospect gold. You definitely feel for these men and women, we always hope in the case of the bushmen that their dream happens soon.🙏

      @@IamBATMAN2024 it really doesn’t take hardly any experience to make a rub. Get a used cab king for like 1k and gently grind away the rock. For people wanting to make a business out of it, it makes more sense *to me* to rub it and sell it as more, but it’s more of a gamble. Anyone that’d buying the rough to cut is ultimately taking a gamble, so they sell it cheaper and usually faster thank they would if it wasn’t a rub.

      Probably very little unless you have an old volcano, and then it would still be incredibly lucky to find much of anything interesting. You do have alot of water around though, maybe some treasure ships around??
