(Commune de Goesdorf)
Old Sb mine, started in the 14th century (or even Roman times), closed in 1938 (1944 according to Filella et al., 2009).
Located 1 km east of the Village of Goesdorf on a hill called Weissenstein ('white stone').
Note: since June 2006 an excavation is underway at Goesdorf as part of an archaeological-mineralogical project of the National Natural History Museum of Luxembourg, and it is not allowed to look for minerals there anymore (source: see strahlen.org website below).
