== Beginnings ==
== Importance of Lancashire Lead ==
Lancashire Lead was one of the great gold mines of Chiltern. It was discovered in about 1860. There were many breaks in the main seem and the miners spent a lot of time chasing the gold.
== What was Lancashire Lead like in the late 1870s ==
In 1864 prospectors found the Lower Lancashire Lead near where the load was lost. The sinking runs from seventy to ninety feet, and the prospect was half a pennyweight to the dish, a much better yield having, how- ever, been since obtained, together with a large quantity of black sand.
In 1879 the Long Reef, Lancashire Lead, had a trial crushing of five tons of quartz raised by two men in one week, which yeilded 16dwt. per ton. The stuft could be easily obtained.
