Clogs found in workings have nothing to do with superstition.
Remember that wellies are a relatively new invention so you would probably
get wet feet walking up the average horse level to your work place! The
obvious thing to do is take a dry pair of clogs in with you and change out
of the wet ones, repeating the process at the end of the day. The dry clogs
would be left underground ready for the next day. If for whatever reason you
do not go back to that place you have lost your clogs! All quite logical
really.
Whistling is supposed to make the ore disapear and apears to be particular
to metal mining.
