We used to hit a lot of arsenic when drilling and blasting for tin down here, it had a distinctive smell when the drill hit it, Devon Great Consols was the largest producer back in the day, William Morris was a director of that company for a while, the remains of some of the arsenic calciners, labyrinths and stacks still survive down here, originally it was considered as a waste product but it eventually found a market in controlling the Boll Weevil in the cotton plantations etc.
