DEEP LEAD MINES, DERWENT JACK'S GULLY (4) - Heritage Inventory Description
This small scale deep lead mine site has all the features that show how it operated. However the horse puddler and the whim platform are in poor condition having been eroded and suffering the effects of grazing. A depression marks the position of the shaft. The whim platform is south east of the shaft. It is 12m in diameter is surrounded by a trench except for a path onto the platform. The horse puddler is northwest of the shaft position and is 7m in diameter. There are small mounds of quartz wash north, south and west of the puddler. The mullock north of the shaft has two fingers, one is 20m and the other is 10m long. These heaps are 1.5m high and approximately 5m wide.
