With the laders down the hole and a rope(many usess)the next is to go down.
After a quick look around It was not hard to work out that a lot work had
been done in this hole by the pillow bashers
had realy used a lot of explosives around the old drives.
(Thats the miners that go around after the prevouse miners,have left the mine)
With a lot of work I would be able to clean up the drive that is in the
direction where hole one is. A large ballroom had been the place where
the opal I noodled came from, there were places that still had good prospects.
With the self tipper set up over the hole I start to clear the drive. At the same time I had three shalfts put down to the opal leavel in new ground that looked good,this is a time in mining where one flips a coin and plays heads and tails. Well being a prospector I chose the new ground.
