Have done a couple of videos of our Tuesday night digs so thought some people on here may be interested.

The shaft is now named New Years shaft due to the time of year when we capped it and we already have a christmass shaft.

The dig has opened up some superb cobalt workings that we had no knowledge existed till now and has also connected a few levels in Engine Vein. We have also opened up several new passages with some interested artifacts including an ore sledge. One date in the passage is of mid 1800's but the lower workings and shaft are believed to be much earlier. The shaft is now bottomed out at 65ft as the cobalt seam has thinned to nothing. Strangely the bottom 10ft off the shaft were filled with large lumps of Galena. Strange as there is no evidence of Galena any where near by.

Any way enough waffle from me

This is a vid on the surface digging. Will post some pictures as i get them
