The Young Guns finally are back together mining in White Cliffs!
With the end of the season quickly approaching and the $2000 Opal mine Noah and Jaymin purchased still not set up, JC is determined to put in some hard work to get it ready for next season!

When mining underground it is always best to have an entry and an exit to a mine. This means clearing out shafts dug over 100 years ago and connecting them up underground.

The machinery JC is using to empty the dirt from the mine is called a windlass. The hardest part of mining this way is one must constantly climb the ladders up and down and fish for the buckets to pull them from the mine.

It’s slow going but after a few days the shaft is cleared and Jc is able to make his way into the mine to where Jaymin and Noah are working!

The mine produces and we uncover a small haul of big material full of pastel colours!

It looks like we are onto a solid area here with this mine and need to put in a lot more work to find out if this is the million dollar claim!

I hope you all enjoyed the video please leave us a comment and tell us what you would like to see more or less of.
