The RAHA Stone
The RAHA stone was first depicted by M.
Much in 1879-1880 and provided with an
interpretation that is no longer tenable
(Raha in the sense of border). Miners
found the stone when they were setting a
survey point.
If you look at the signs closely, you can
see an R on the left, below which there
is a G that Much omitted. Then there is
a tunnel symbol, below which there is an
X or actually a diagonally lying cross (as
a marking symbol). To the right of the
tunnel symbol, there are an H and an A,
with the A looking quite different from the
tunnel symbol.
Prof. Lippert interprets the inscription as
follows: HA" for Hallein (representing
timber rights here for salt production)
and "RG" (RG either as an individual or
a group of people) share timber rights
(?) for extraction from the stone - in this
case, probably for extracting spathic iron
ore. Copper ore is no longer present in
these rock units, but evidence of ankerite
extraction is found.

Pings and wires
Pings and veins are two mining terms that describe how and where miners searched for treasures in the earth.
Imagine you see a large hole or depression in the ground outside in a meadow or forest. That's a pothole! A long time ago, miners started digging on the surface to look for valuable metals such as silver, gold or iron. When they found something, they made the hole bigger and bigger. When a tunnel collapsed, a hollow or pit formed in the ground. These old pits or holes are called pings. Sometimes they are filled with water.
A vein is like a long strip or track of precious rock hidden in the rock deep underground. Think of it as a long, narrow treasure that winds its way through the rock. These veins often contain metals that the miners wanted to extract. To get to the veins, they had to dig deep passages or tunnels and extract the treasure.
Pings and wires
Potholes and veins are mining terms that describe how miners used to search for valuable metals such as silver, gold or iron. Potholes are large holes or depressions in the ground that were created when miners dug for metals underground.
When they found something, they enlarged the hole and created tunnels and passages. When these collapsed, deep hollows and holes were created in the ground. These holes can still be seen today in the areas where valuable ores were once mined.
Veins, on the other hand, are long, narrow paths of valuable rock that run deep into the rock. To find these "treasures", the miners dug tunnels, i.e. passages, into the mountain to extract the valuable minerals.
Pings and wires
Potholes and veins are important mining terms that describe how miners used to search for valuable metals such as silver, gold or iron. Potholes are large depressions or holes in the ground that were created by mining underground. When the miners found valuable ores while digging, they widened the pit and dug tunnels and passages into the mountain. When these cavities collapsed, hollows or holes were created in the ground, which are often still visible today in old mining areas. Veins, on the other hand, are narrow strips or tracks of ore that run deep in the rock. To access these veins, the miners had to dig deep tunnels into the mountain to extract the valuable raw materials.
