Assessment notes[edit]

I have assessed this as Start Class for a few minor reasons. I would probably call this a C-Class article except for these items:

Duplicate entries in the Bilbliography and Further reading sections
The sections seem to be in an unusual order - History, then Geology, then Legends would make more sense to me

It's a good article, and I learned from reviewing it. I only make the suggestions above as ideas for improvement. I would have gone ahead with changes, but list based references are not in my skill set. I find them incredibly difficult to work with, and I am always worried about removing the wrong duplicate that may be needed. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 19:42, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Needs:

Wider list of references (for instance, no mention of history as reported by Decker, Stickney, Hine, Snell).
Discussion of the substance of folk tales regarding Dutch miners and why they are incorrect.
Better discussion of the history of the mines
Look at the mine today
photographs.
