+Birdman-of-liskatraz Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Cornwall is an area of the United Kingdom with a very historic and well known mining industry. When the mines here were closing many of the miners emigrated overseas where their hard rock mining skills were very much valued. A group of cachers in Cornwall are shortly issuing a Cornish Geocoin and as part of that I'm trying to arrange to set up a series of caches in areas that our Cornish Miners emigrated to. I already have plans made for Canada and Australia but would like to include a mine in the USA too. Many Cornish miners came to work in the Mines in Michigan. I'm looking for someone who could place a cache, containing a Geocoin (That we would provide) in a area with a Cornish connection. If any one would be interested in help Please contact me through my Geocaching profile... Many thanks Steve Quote Link to comment
+clatmandu Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I just posted your request in the MIGO UP chapter forums. Most of the mines are in the western UP, which is about 10hrs away from me. Quote Link to comment

+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Right next to the MiGO LOWER forums. Just kidding!!!! UP stands for upper penisula (I'm not any better at spelling this than Rusty was). To access the Michigan Geocaching MiGO forums you will have to become a member I believe, but the good news is it free. Here is the front page of the MiGO web site http://www.mi-geocaching.org/ Good luck Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Quote Link to comment

+CookCrew Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 (edited) There is already a cache at the Cornish Pump & Mining Museum in Iron Mountain. Cornish Pump(GCG806) Although it IS a micro, so it might not work for your plans. Edited November 20, 2006 by CookCrew Quote Link to comment

Cornish Pump(GCG806) Although it IS a micro, so it might not work for your plans. Oh a micro won't work... I've had three offers now to hide caches and I hate having to decide, but i have... So watch out for a new cache.. maybe on St Pirans Day!? (waits for everyone to Google that) Thanks for all your help fellow cachers.... Do you all eat Pastys up in the UP? Quote Link to comment
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yep, and even some of us in the lower p eat them Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Quote Link to comment
+bwick99 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I didn't think of using the micro that is allready there. I was thinking of placing one somewhere else.... Quote Link to comment
