[QUOTE="Darien, post: 362732, member: 11118"] Hi All, Just stumbled on these pages from an interest in these old mines - amazing to see these pics and get a sense of the conditions the old miners worked under. Quite unbelievable. Just a note on the symbols on page 2 - I think they may be some form of old alchemy symbols. The half circle type shape looks like some form of the 'amalgamation' type symbol, perhaps some form of the arsenic symbol The eye type shape could be some form of the 'gold' symbol which seems to be the circle with a dot I could be wrong but seems very similar but I can't find an exact match anywhere, apparently they weren't exactly uniform and varied a bit. Definitely look to be in that style though. If anyone knows more about this, please comment! [/QUOTE]
