Wildman Mine Ruins

The Wildman Mine Ruins stand starkly silhouetted against the background sky, atop a grassy knoll behind the old grammar school. The crumbling stone walls are all that remain to mark the site of the Wildman mine’s easternmost shaft, known as the Emerson. The Wildman mine, in combination with the Mahoney, is credited with a production of $5 million in gold.
