Holländarefältet, Gladhammars gruvor, Västerviks kommun, Kalmar län, Sverige
Holländarefältet is by far the most important group of mines in Gladhammar, for instance Svenonius (1905) only mentions one single mine by name outside this field.
The mines are found in a 275 m long NW—SE area on a hill, 43 m above the lake Tjursbosjön.
Until 2011 the top of the hill was covered by dumps from the mines, and many of the mineral samples labelled as coming from Gladhammar mines have been found here. Now these dumps are totally removed to prevent further leakage of As, Co, Cu, and Pb from the mining area to the lake below.
The mines
Roughly 250 m SE of Ryssgruve-field we start with:
Nygruvan
Gamla Gruvan,
Knut's shaft (Knutsgruvan),
Tyskgruvorna,
Odelmarksgruvan
Svenskgruvan
Holländaregruvan and
Bondgruvan
The Knutsgruvan and Odelmarksgruvan are more cobalt-rich than the others.
