Hi again Vurrister,
I see in this other rather good FoD site, while describing the Whimsey Mine they also mention the Brazilly Seam. As far as I know the Whimsey site is a good many yards from Steam Mills. How many yards or even miles can a seam be ?. How do the miners of old, without the modern equipment, know it's the same seam ?
