Science Team! I love hunting for gems, and my favorite rock (it’s actually a gel) is an opal! I found out there were opal mines just near the Oregon boarder of Nevada. Naturally I packed my bags and went!

I had a blast!!! I loved the entire experience from beginning to end and will certainly be going again.

  15. A True Wisconsinite on October 23, 2020 at 2:32 pm

    Whelp. Looks like I need to take a trip to Nevada…first time I have had a care to visit that state. Anyways, what do you mean by stabalizing the opal by putting it in water?

  16. Tripping on Rocks on October 23, 2020 at 2:33 pm

    I like the way you explain things is my language. You read the rocks well and you found some beautiful pieces. The limb casts are very cool thank you for showing us 😊

  17. Edo Flo on October 23, 2020 at 2:36 pm

    I WASN’T WONDERING WHY YOU ARE ON THE BORDER OF CALIFORNIA AND NEVADA.

  18. J Early on October 23, 2020 at 2:37 pm

    In the old days,when Virgin Valley opal miners wanted stable, cuttable opal, they had a proven method.
    Large opals were placed on hot tin roofs till they fractured into many smaller pieces. The surviving opal was then as stable as Australian opal. Large specimens that would be very valuable today were broken into many tiny stones.
    It’s still the only proven way to make Virgin Valley opal usable for jewelry .

  19. EighteenVp on October 23, 2020 at 2:39 pm

    Where does one found opal?

  20. MyessYallyah Americus on October 23, 2020 at 2:40 pm

  35. Huck Fin on October 23, 2020 at 2:54 pm

    Wow these people who call themselves a government sure do have a nice cushie thing going on, lets charge the public to go on their land that belongs to everyone to find a rock, and they pay it !!!

  36. Prairie Adventures on October 23, 2020 at 2:56 pm

    Always wanted to go mining black opal in Nevada. Saw a show on tv about treasure hunting and showed a woman finding about $10,000 in a few hours! Learned more from your video

  37. Belinda Hodges on October 23, 2020 at 2:56 pm

  41. GSpotter63 on October 23, 2020 at 3:03 pm

    I found a few pieces of jem quality opal on the Yakima Firing Center in the state of Washington while in the military. Mind you I wasn’t doing any digging, it was just lying there on the surface. Walking around in an impact area is probably not a very safe place to search for opal….lol

  42. Jay Bales on October 23, 2020 at 3:05 pm

    Informative and fun watching. Congratulations on your discoveries.

  43. Vegas Girl on October 23, 2020 at 3:06 pm
