60/40 Solder.....

[pwdrive]

Here's another one by the same gang, quite unique in some respects and well done considering, filming/video underground is sometimes difficult, this footage is a testament to the old miners, it's The Great County Adit as it's known down here, it drains the workings at adit level and above of dozens of old tin and copper mines here in the county, it runs in various directions for a total length of around 30 miles and drained the adits of the tin and copper mines around the Gwennap, St Day, Scorrier area which at one time was the worlds largest producer of copper ore.

The adit's entrance portal which was refurbished some years ago is just below the hamlet of Twelveheads where I once used to live when working down the tin mine, from there the mine water eventually ends up in the river Fal.

I've also included more from the same crew that are worth a look, they're descending down to The Great Flat Lode in the Redruth/Camborne area, the lode wasn't flat (horizontal) as such but ran at around 40 degrees or so which is considered a flat lode compared to the normal 70 to 90 degrees encountered, these and other video's available from that crew provide a good record, Faraday etc might have got his copper wire via these mines, who knows.
