An open-pit and underground mine in Kimberley, South Africa, and claimed to be the largest hole excavated by hand. From mid-July 1871 to 1914 up to 50,000 miners dug the hole with picks and shovels, yielding 2,720 kilograms (6,000 lb) of diamonds. The Big Hole has a surface of 17 hectares (42 acres) and is 463 metres (1,519 ft) wide.
Added to places to go on my bucket list.
