[QUOTE="dezman, post: 43467, member: 1018"] Our first real prospecting drive, going under a large fault it took some digging with that little electric jack hammer. I was lent a hoist to remove the waste dirt which piled up on the surface. I found the pile a few months ago when visiting the ridge, and gee it was big and I must say I was proud to see it still there. I went down the old hole to find the roof had fallen down, scary stuff going down 40foot loose and unprotected holes on swinging steel ladders. I went down a nearby hole and tried to reach this drive but most had fallen in. Funny that after so long that I remember most of the lay out as I made my way across the field under ground. [/QUOTE]
