In the school holidays I used to help my Dads cousin out.
He was a shot firer and used to have his set days around the local quarries.
Usually used ANFO but very occasionally we used gelly.
My job was to tamp the charge, insert the detonator and stop up the charged hole.
Cousin would do the role call, sound the warning, check the firing circuit and press the button
