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 on the Coober Pedy Opal Fields 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 Nov–30, 2011 and will be Issue No 106, 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 here number Issue No 1,
which shows you how we drill shafts here in Coober Pedy, the start of me in 1992 looking for opals and see how my tunnel machine is put underground.
