New mine from scratch..
This one drill hole..

Was meant to be for this thunder box..

And just so happen to bring up some potchy trace somewhere between about 16 and 18 feet.
Setup and ready to dig out for the collar..

Down we go..

Good luck, Are you looking for opal?

Now I'm worrying about how long you can hold for

Someone has Opal Fever....

Employing my bench splitting dig system I chew out 150mm each cycle..

2.1 X 1.1 X 0.6 = 1.38 cube
3.5 hrs on my own..

Perfectly level bottom ready for the next step..

From the 1st picture in post #9 are you building a thunder box with concealed water storage/ waste ventilation system :|

Nice work what ever it is :Y:

I think this is gunna be a shaft to withdraw from, not deposit in RM....

2.1 X 1.1 X 0.6 = 1.38 cube
3.5 hrs on my own..

Going by your calculations, you should reach the 18' level in 2365 days.. .. layful:

But I do know how to speed that up... I think 20x knows how to as well...

I think you mean cellar

Yes it is a shaft, tipper rail goes down one of the short sides, ladder goes the other end.
Just gotta hope the trace is in the wall of one of the long sides coz that's what ya drive off.
I've dug another hole for the thunder box manually just for now.

If the shaft is a bummer just make a bigger sh!tt@

Can't wait to see how it turns out 20xwater

Opalised pippy shell trace from this drill hole..
