Nice find!
I am looking to find some Cornish uranite samples for my collection. I am particularly interested in the Wheal Trenwith sample due to the Marie Curie connection.
Where abouts did you find this? I was planning to just wander around the trenwith car park and surrounds with a Geiger counter, but any more specifics location wise would be helpful!
Thanks
