DAISY CREEK LEAD PUDDLING MACHINE NO.1 - Heritage Inventory Description
/nThe Big Reef near Amherst appears to have witnessed only one main period of quartz mining. In 1869 the Himalaya Company were working the reef and trying to raise capital to erect steam machinery. Despite the company's claim of 9dwts to the ton it was unsuccessful in getting the necessary capital. Daisy Hill Creek Lead Puddler - 100 metres west of Quartz dam is a very weathered puddler. No pivot post or trench slabbing and most of the wash has been quarried.
Heritage Inventory Significance: Local Integrity reduced as to have very little interpretive value
