‘Behind the scenes’
We thought about sharing this classic with you – Bet some of you didn’t know what a sluice box was (or looked like)!
Well, here’s a picture taken from one of the mining sheds. We don’t know the year nor the location of the mine. Notice the hand tools and the large buckets
PS: For those who are awaiting the results of our photo-contest, keep watching this space



Hi Ian
Remember being in one of these as a young child – had a lot of fun in Chee Ng Amang Factory along the old trunk road just outside Kampar.
I visited a few working tin mines near Ipoh around 1997. I put some photos on my blog.
