I've searched a fair bit and haven't found any info on this.

Not for detecting etc but just out of interest/exploration does anyone know any locations through Black Hill of shafts/small mines?

I grew up there and explored the hills and Torrens and knew of some of the shafts, one not far from market gardens! I went for a walk today and it's completely different along the linear park. I tried to locate some of the shafts up black hill and close to Gorge Rd but I cold be walking around in circles, I kept thinking it looked familiar, just a bit further....

Email/Pm is fine, I only head out by myself or with wife for a walk so will be discreet.
 
Hi all, does anyone have any old clippings/maps of the barossa/mt Crawford diggings? Thanks
 
Shteevo,

Trove is a good place to look for old articles, books , maps etc.

Moyses.) with maps, copy available in the SA Uni. Library, Dewey Number 333.78/0994232. I have not sited or read this book!
