Galena was first discovered on this property when the wheel from a passing dray crushed an outcrop and the metallic brilliance of the ore became obvious. Mining started here in May 1841 and it is regarded as being the first metal mine worked in Australia. The area soon saw several other silver-lead mines open up including the Wheal Watkins, Wheal Augusta and the Glen Osmond Mine amonst others. This became the start of a mining rush in South Australia made most notible by the copper mines of Burra, Kapunda and Moonta-Wallaroo, that literally saved the State from bankruptcy.
