They went down to 163-foot shaft 12 to 14 feet to the south-west of what he believed was the site of the 1897 shaft, close to the original pit. At 127 feet number of artefacts - including an axe, an anchor fluke, and a strange looking pick were found. The pick has been identified as a Cornish miner’s poll pick.
