This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Cornish Miner is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

With the closure of many Cornish mines in the mid- to late- 19th century, Cornish Miners and thier families migrated to other parts of the UK and to countries worldwide, to wherever minerals were being mined from hard rock. For example, lead miners found employment in Wales; tin and copper miners went to East Africa, Australia, South Africa, Chile and many other places. It was said that wherever in the world there was a deep hole in the ground, you would find a Cornishman at the bottom of it.
This Trackable's mission is to visit as many deep mining areas as possible but NOT in Cornwall - it is now necessary to travel futher afield.
'Cornish Miner' was made in Cornwall and was first dropped near Hemerdon on the fringe of Dartmoor which is shortly to open as a source of tungsten, previous operations having ceased some decades ago.
