East Cornwall Copper - Part 1 of 3

We explore a new mine (to us) with a few peeps from CBC (another local mine exploring group)
On the edge of Bodmin Moor, this huge copper mine which started in 1833 and closed 1886, produced over 200,000 tons of copper ore, making it the 6th most productive copper mine in Cornwall.
In this video we start inside the mine and travel down the adit over many timbers and planks to where a winze goes upto a upper level with lots of colourful mineral formations.
