[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 353534, member: 1375"] Might be wrong, would not be surprising, like you just a wannabe expert .... but looks like it could be a 'tailings' pile rather than a mullock heap, Tailings could be from crushing/washed material that had been put through a puddler/crusher before they panned/sluiced it, the tailings are what they piled up. I usually call them mullock heaps (probably incorrectly) when they're next to (usually) shallow dig holes. Great write up, thanks. Cheers Tom. [/QUOTE]
