Connemara Lead Mines



Went with the Geology class to visit Glengowla Mines - the only showmine open to visitors in Ireland.


Had to wear hardhats for going down into the mine.


Got to pan for gold after the tour- found all sorts of treasures!



Met a new friend named Sean- the grandson of the mine owner. He was a fine lad- even let me ride on his tractor!



Found lots of treasures to add to me' pot o' gold!
