About This Item

Once renowned for its tin and copper, Cornwall's industrial heritage is easily identified by the many ruined structures scattered around its coast and countryside. Although mining operations can be traced back to the 18th century, the remnants visible today recall the industry's Victorian heyday when there were some 600 steam engines working in the Cornish Tin Mines. The prominent chimney-stacks and the derelict stone engine houses now stand as dormant survivals and form part of the natural landscape.

    From the logbook, it seems "Suft & P" were the last to visit the cache before this trackable was lost. There is no username starting "suft" registered with geocaching.com and, since the travelling dragon geocoin lost at the same time has not turned up, I think this one's gone forever.

    Sorry for your loss 😟

    I don't normally care much for non-geocoin trackables, but this is a neat little exception. Thanks for sharing!

    I know it's just a short distance but being a new cache this TB should be picked up quickly.
