Anyone engaged in one before??

I'm doing one a Christmas and haven't the faintest as to what goes on.

This is my charactor:
Jack E Jackson- A South African gold miner who has made and lost his fortune many times over.
Costume Suggestion: Rough diamond- jeans, collarless shirt worn with a cravat, boots, ideally a full length leather coat

Searched high and low for pics of South African gold miners from the 1900's and got nothing. Know the clothes but trying to find "the look"

Any suggestions?

Try searching for 'boer' (Afrikaans for farmer) with the term gold miner.

Based on my schoolday memories of South African history - this is pretty much what I think you're looking for.

First pic from this site

It's a bit of a messy site - but you'll get the point.
