This is a Free Newsletter Program that you can subscribe to, there are two (2)
newsletters sent out, one on opal mining and one on opal rough, the Issue on Opal Mining
is about me, Stuart Bird, mining my new claim at the 11 Mile Field looking
for opals underground with photos included.
The Newsletter about me Opal Mining which I call Opal Mining Updates, it
come in Issues which are released at the end of every Month, right
now the next release will be on April–30, 2008 and will be Issue No 83,
I try to explain and also show you with some photos what is involved from behind my eyes and how I mine for opals
with a Round Tunnel Machine underground to look for these very elusive opals.
You will get to see opal in the wall (should I find any) where it has been for millions of
years, you see it just as we do, this is as live as you are going to get
to a real opal miner at work, share in my problems, disappointments and
excitement when I do find or don't find opal, learn what is involved in looking for that
gem, the costs, breakdowns and repairs that we have put up with and why our wife's have to work
to support us, this and more in the Opal Mining Updates, join now and
start at issue No 1, which shows you how we drill shafts here in Coober
Pedy, the start of looking for opals and see how a tunnel machine is put
underground.
