Finding mines
Posted: 06/05/2012 14:03:04
I'm probably asking an already asked question but...

How can I find a mine when I know where it is but not what it is called? Is there a Google Map with pus-pins of all the mines in it?

Trawling through all the mines in an area is interesting but a bit slow...

This is on my list of features to add, has been for some time, current,y trying to decide on Google vs Bing. I had settled on Bing but they've imposed limits in the number of map impressions they'll let a site display and they're not allowed to be behind a login.

In the mean time there's a stack of means of finding mines, by map sheet, name, fuzzy name, mineral type etc.

True but Lead or Fluorite in Weardale doesn't limit the field much!
