History of the mine
Last worked by Fred Jolly in the 1960s, then left dormant until Ryan rediscovered it in 2023. The old working is one big open room under a sketchy overhang. About a pound of small gem-grade nuggets has come out so far, picked from the dump and from one small pocket found in place. A hobby mine for now, on the back burner and a project for another day.
