Diamond Ledge is a summit (coordinates are for Diamond Ledge) in the town of Sandwich.
A gold mine in quartz was operated on Diamond Ledge from 1877-1878, and again from 1903-1906.
Hitchcock (1878) reported: "In Sandwich, some openings were made in 1877 in the 'White ledge,' one mile north-west of Sandwich centre, with the high-sounding name of 'Diamond Ledge Gold Mine.' No pure gold is visible. The operators claim an average yield of $49 to the ton."
