Am I correct that they mined for tin and copper here?

One that would fit perfectly for a postcard

It's called Botallack,  but the coast along from St Ives have many mines like this.

The a good few miles of coast along there thats full of these mines.   It would have been nice to have had better weather and more time to explore them.

National Trust would never allow that.

Thats actually not that unusual along that coast line.

No doubt you could spend a few days at that location.  Interesting read about the mines in that area and many were super deep.

And prone to flooding.  

DAFlys Posted at 2-29 03:13
And prone to flooding.

No doubt about that.  It seems they were using some very powerful pumps when the mines were active.

They'd need it to be out under the sea like that.

DAFlys Posted at 2-29 04:20

No doubt.  That had to be some dangerous work down in those under water mines.

Dpont forget the canaries.

Alright, I'll keep my eyes doubly peeled ;-)

Thanks. I guess I won't use the anti drone league to look for places to fly ;-)

No doubt the digital CO detectors finally put the canaries out of a job in the mines. I read where they initially used mice before going to canaries.  

DAFlys Posted at 2-29 00:52

We can cover it under a charity celebration and we'll get our BBQ gear with us.
