Back in the late 90s Tamar Mining Group members had quite major concerns
regarding the Dawnmist web presence due to its advocacy of underground
mineral collecting. One mine which was highlighted as a good collecting
site was Bedford Consols which was trashed by mineral collectors at around
this time.

A dawnmist / Heather Coleman site has been around
for a while (since at least 2000) but I suspect
the driving force is / was mineral collecting -
so treat with caution. Her web pages had a salmon
pink background and she described herself as 'the
fluffy one' - interesting way to project mining history.
