The beach to the east of Penlee quarry yields minerals that can't be connected to the Penlee Quarry, just nearby. The minerals found on the beach are coming from an or different offshore lodes. Some lodes can be seen at low tide.
These used to be exploited by Wheal Henry, see https://www.mindat.org/loc-32883.html

This locality lies within the Penzance CP, not Paul CP under current parish boundaries.
