The two mothers wanted a field the size of a treasure trove and five measures . The plan was to open a tunnel from the Emscher in a northerly direction . Several should seams by crosscuts approached and removed are. The Mothers knew that some of the seams without tunnels had already been mined by coal digging . In addition, the two trades intended to drive a tunnel to the west, which was to be set deeper than the Bickefelder tunnel, in order to mine the seams above it. The coal mining was not allowed to the two mother until the inspection . On May 17th of the same year the field was inspected by the mountain bailiff Rielcke. In 1768 the pit field was measured .
