Knights had the same owners as those that controlled the Naratella mine. It was a continuation of the reef from the Naratella, but Knights was not as well developed. The reef was laminated quartz, 4 feet wide, containing very fine gold which made the lode glitter. The original prospectors were B. O'Neill and Packer, who discovered the goldfield.
