[QUOTE="Parks, post: 214517, member: 6315"] There's heaps of leads left behind?? Most were left because the water was too much to pump and when they did mine they were very rough and didn't really take it all. They used to use a system where by you stick your shovel in the ground and take a scoop, shake it up and down, and if it made a clunk or felt heavy then keep it, otherwise chuck it beside in the waste. Bench material is down in the lead at the 100 ft or, what ever level. The picture is the [u]top[/u] of a deep lead at ground level, still part of the deep lead system. It's like calling the Yarra the upper yarra and the lower yarra, it's still the yarra. [/QUOTE]
