These processors of sand from a depleted mine dump off the N3 South freeway, near Elandsfontein, in Germiston, are still hoping to scoop up some precious metal from the gold mining diggings that began in these parts no less than 132 years ago. George Harrison discovered an outcrop of the main reef of gold on the farm Langlaagte, west of the golden city of Johannesburg, in February 1886. Three months later, he and George Walker entered into a prospecting agreement with Langlaagte owner GC Oosthuizen.
