The following is archived text that was recorded during the development of Diablo III:
[[Image:Crazed_Miner.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Pulley system right there.]]
The quest is given by an NPC, the [[Crazed Miner]] who is found near some of the open mining pits in the [[Canyon Rim Mines]] area on teh surface of Act II. The Miner asks a hero to defend him while he raises a chest of gold via a pulley system. If you are successful, you get half the gold.
To complete the quest, players must stand their ground and fight off an attacking horde of [[Fallen]]. The enemies are not powerful, but they are numerous, and the quest changes up the usual play style for forcing players to hold a location, rather than engaging in the usual fighting-retreat large numbers of enemies can cause.
This quest was first described in a hands-on report from Gamescom 2009. [http://kotaku.com/5340558/diablo-iii-impressions-hands-on-with-the-barbarian]
::We ran into a "Crazed Miner," who offered us the quest, "A Miner's Gold." All we had to do was defend the miner while he raised a treasure chest via a pulley system. When he started, swarms of Fallen came after him. If we were successful in defending the miner from the swarm, we'd get half the gold. It really wasn't a challenge for the Barbarian, as Ground Stomp made that defense quest a simple task.

==Strategy==
The [[Fallen Imp]]s aren't that dangerous, but they're numerous, so attacks that hit multiple enemies at once are most effective. Crowd control abilities, such as the Barbarian's [[Ground Stomp]] are also very useful to debuff or distract the enemies.
