we're now cut out we're down in the mine too deep for cellular uh phone range and you can
see up there there's a couple boys having to go on the level up there so we're going to climb
up and have a geese and see what they see what they're doing if they're finding anything up there
hey boys yeah how you doing good so what are we doing following trace
and i'm going to find in the pocket so we have chase about one foot underneath the sandstone
uh level here yeah and that trace is putting out little knobbies up here and through carrier band
and then through here there's chase actually going down towards the ground
which was also happening over here so we did some readings with the wires
yep you want to grab them maybe you do the ready to push grab the patch out so explain okay so
so i was taught these about eight years ago um by a man named graham griffo i know he worked in my
draw half for me on the on this hill here became very good friends and he showed me how to do wine
show me how to divine yeah and so i picked it up on how to divine for faults and
there's a fault right here where i'm standing which is why we're going down here
so and the wires will go open so my fault's right there and uh there shouldn't be any readings of
opal here but what did i do with that p that's one two three so if i put that there i'm pretty sure
i know there's a reading where i'm standing but i know there's nothing here here so i put that there
and the wires should cross over it now oh cory take the opal away
i'll put it back
so there's clearly something going on there reading silica and water um i'm assuming through
the um the vibrations of the atoms of each mineral element that it's made of and so when i stand
here and i walk along this fault the wire stay crossed over all the way to about here
and then open again so our assumption is there's a pocket of opal
vertically down there about five more feet cool let's get into it yeah that's what we're doing
he started bringing up traces along here i was like oh yeah i'll have a go with the
wires around your little area and see what we find brother sure enough also with the put that
in the ground toy so there's also another trick by putting the wire in the reading
where the opal silica is where the wire will stay straight until i get to the depth
as you can see we've already gone down two feet let me get that wiring problem
uh it won't matter as long as it's there yep so before we were first at about five feet we were
so as you can see the wire is already wanting to turn before i even get to the
we're getting closer a lot closer than we think so yeah give or take those feet
so you're saying this is this is the the metal detecting version of finding opal yep it also
works with any middle element if i can use knives forks nuts bolts keys gold silver titanium as long
as it's the same the exact same in my hand yeah i can't be any different so i can't do silver coins
and gold coins they won't match yeah so but yeah someone said to me i heard a rumor that an old
father used opal with his wires and i thought i thought that's that's a bit far fetched you know
and after three more my friend goes try it man see if he can find anything and i walked over the
bucket of vocal uh the wheelbarrow of opal and did some payer tailings and otherwise went like that
and i was like that's bizarre and then i walked over cutting polished stones and they went like
that i'm like all right this is weird so we put it in beer cans didn't tell me which ones they were
yeah i found every single one nice so yeah and then i started doing nuts bolts nails nice forks
whatever i could find that had mineral elements to it and say i even tried a little package of
water yeah thinking you know maybe i can walk over a bucket of water yeah i can't find water
because my my my way of reading is totally different yeah i'm made up of water so i'm
not going to find something i'm made up of yeah fair enough on its own fair enough i've
tried i've tried to do one for water i can't find nothing yeah then we would be um kind of
ruined in the desert yeah i didn't think i'd be any good are we in the desert now uh clay
that would be nice to change our lives forever this is true and it could be two centimeters
behind yep this is just the hanging the the sliding very cautious about based on the gravity
of the angle if it takes away any support yeah it could just slide on him yep yeah you've got
to be careful that's for sure so we use um really expensive equipment like butter knives to gouge
opal miner's favorite tool actually no damage to the opal you at least another five four more feet
brother two no more than that we didn't calculate the height i was standing remember true yeah so
where that band is could be underneath that van we know there's two bands that come and split off
so that was an experience um come and check out the guys at lunatic hill
i want you guys to tell me what your thoughts are of divining with those metal rods there's a lot of
conjecture about whether it's true or not and even some comments from you guys in lightning ridge
that actually do it tell me it's real or tell me it's not leave leave your comment below this video
because uh i'd like to know what people think of it could be true could be not i just don't know
