Opal Theory on the opal fields lightning Ridge New South Wales Australia
Now you have all the theory and certificates you must look for suitable opal country so you can purchase a Opal lease, with a compass do your readings and Barings and then you must drive back to town and take yourself to the department of primary industry and you can then purchased a Opal lease. A few hundred Australian dollars for a 12 month lease on a 50 by 50 meter Opal lease. It is up to you there is plenty of machinery to purchase at lightning Ridge new or used and there are plenty of people with experience willing to start partnerships and this is a great way to learn and receive all of your practical experience.
Tips on how to find Opal Underground you must first look for fault lines and slides in the profile of the soil in the expose face of the claim that you can see with the naked eye, these are the best places to start digging for Opal of course the type of machinery and equipment is up to you most likely your budget will play a big part in the type of opal mining machinery you use underground. The most simple an inexpensive technique is a man with a strong back and surprisingly it is better if he is not too tall. And if your budget is not a problem then an underground digger and a blow is the preferable way to mind Opal Underground, and specially if you do not have a strong back another good tip is to look at the profile of the Opal Clay in front of your eyes and if you can detect very mixed up soil types then this is called a blow and is a great place to did of course no guarantees, you must have powerful lights shining on the face of the drive that you are working because if you spot colour then you must stop all heavy machinery used as you do not want to break his valuable GemStone. You must go and get a miners pick and dig it out my hand you are basically listening more than you are looking the sounds of Opal is similar to Taping on glass so please stop when you hear this noise and dig a bit wider . I have always liked my chances of finding Opal in the roof of the claim it is much harder to dig their being sandstone if you persist it sometimes pays off.
