[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 15982, member: 784"] Bear in mind also that some of these diggings may have been very inaccessable and only shown low grade ore in the 19th century are much easier to access today and may still have a few ounces of gold in them. They would have been abandoned at the time that they were found as the cost of getting to and from the mine outweighed any profit from 19th century gold prices. So in theory it could be worth re-working them to a safe depth. Legislation in qld is max 2m deep on soil, max 0.5m in watercourses. Still 2m would see me needing a ladder or rope to get out of probly, im only 5'10''. :o [/QUOTE]
