Hi Jay this mine is over quite a large area, I read books about the era when the mines were working and I went out with a miner from South Crofty which is a very well know mine. I am going to get some picture of it to post.

Interesting how the tin leaches out to the surface or so it appears. Very nice set of pictures

Thank you cur, I was surprised when I saw the colors as they were intense.

Not to detract from your cool pictures which are fine btw, but the colors you see are from copper compounds, tin does not have bright colored ores.
The map of the orefield of South-west England shows that Sn and Cu are intermingled there.

Hi TucsonDoyote Thanks for the correction, There are so many mines in Cornwall and copper was mined a lot. :D
