Not sure where the rest is...

Rich,

I'm sure someone will want the shutters and mechanisms, though...

Interesting about the 'reactivation': when gold goes up in value, so do the number of mining licence applications, though I'm certain that most never make a cent. Some I had to monitor in Victoria were small, one-man ones that just kept on plodding on, no matter what the price of gold. I'm sure it was a lifestyle to the operators, rather than a living. I didn't envy the Inspector: the operators were so used to cobbling together anything that would 'work' without regard to the Regs. My job was at least a little easier in that regard: the environmental requirements were pretty straight forward.
