Fuller's Shaft was sunk in 1853, and accessed both Middle and Deep Adits and the main stopes on the eastern part of Main (Copper) Lode, as evidenced by the size of the waste rock outside and down slope of the adit portal. It has been infilled to the surface, as can be seen by looking inside the entrance of Middle Adit, south chamber. There is no evidence of an old shaft marker. Other details: Figures 5-6, 35, site 18.
