I come from a Cornish mining family, though my father was most certainly NOT Cornish he was a mining engineer.
He made amazing machines: they could separate tin from mud (silver, gold, diamonds even); and oil from water…goats and sheep too, but only if you were determined…
I wear a cousin Jack pin made of tin, for my sister I had made a pin with a panning shovel, a pick and one of my father’s machines…
I think it’s cool
