Cornish copper mine, through trip...
Today we are down near the coast exploring a well visited copper mine.
There are several ways in, but today we have gone in through the middle adit and leave via the main ladder way
It's a well preserved mine as it was the CSM main training area, but it has a bit of everything, shafts, winzes, stoping, timbering and a huge incline tramway....
Enjoy

Mine wagon stuck in time...

Just a quick one to look at a now famous mine wagon stuck on its rails hanging out of the cliff side on a Cornish beach, the cliff has nearly buried it as the adit has collapsed around it, but nice to see all the same!

However we are planning a full on 2025 so hopefully lots of content coming.... This one was just a walk to a fairly forgotten little mine, as you can see not often visited! Always worth a look as you never know what you might find! Happy Ch...

Back again after a bit of a gap in videos, apologies been flat out with work! Today we having a bit of a walk to find a well hidden lead mine, well off the beaten track, so I'm glad we had a guide to show us the way (thanks to Victoria) We new it had a winze to get over but no details past that! So armed with rope and bolts we went in... Enjoy.
Possible adit find, needs a JCB!

Today I'm having a look at a long cutting in the middle of a farmers field that is definitely man made, it has sloping sides and a flat bottom so could have been a tram way! It's seriously overgrown so it was hard work even having a look!

Just a quick look into a deep shaft that we are looking to drop in the near future, the top has a 'Witches hat' cap on it and is about 100 ft higher so this way would be easier though it needs bolting for roping. Cheers

Back in our favourite Cornish tin mine, We hadn't been past the winze as the old timber had completely rotted out so I gathered a couple of old scaffold bars to make a new bridge which has enabled us to continue further on ..

    Interesting. When I've seen these before, it's been because someone was seeking to open a "natural" source for a domestic water supply - and there would have been a low dam across the mouth of the "cave" (producing the flooded floor) from which their water supply would flow to a holding tank downslope, usually behind their home.
