Inside Clogau gold mine, taken when I was there. They show the geology of different parts of the mine. The white on the photos are the quartz veins in the rock. The darker parts are the black shales and the ladders are what we used to climb up.

So as you can see the history of Clogau gold mine is a long and interesting one, and my involvement in dowsing for new sources of gold within the mine was a challenge but enjoyable too.
