[QUOTE="22shells, post: 231229, member: 3817"] G'day guys. I've got a question- how did the old timers know exactly where to sink a shaft on a quartz reef? I mean, if you're going to dig a 100ft hole you'd want it to be in the right place, right? It amazes me that they could hit the gold reef many feet below the surface. From what I can gather, they'd pick a reef where surface gold was present- but then how did they know where to dig? And what if surface gold is not present, then how did they do it? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
