The Boys and Ruth explore more ways to bring in an income on the farm.  It is January on the farm.  The boys try mining while Ruth tries lace making.

The boys try copper mining without much success, however try another method to extract copper by putting metal in copper infused water.  That method works and the team makes some money from copper.  Then they are taken to another mine in Cornwall where they use technology to live the lives of miners for the day.  Tin mining was where the money was at.  Ruth learns the craft of lace making (without much success) as well as how to make a Cornish pasty.  The boys take the pasties down the mine, but do not leave the crusts behind for the little people who dwell in the mine.
