      It’s the inverse of the children yearning for the mines, it’s the copper yearning for the thieves.

      Look I’m not a scientist but I think it’s basically 2 of the stages of the water cycle, for copper.

        Honestly given how much copper may have been recycled since the Copper Age I’m gonna hazard a guess that your joke isn’t even all that wrong. There’s a bronze statue in I want to say Germany that was made back in the 1600s that we’re pretty sure a good bit of the copper and bronze was stolen from ancient graves.
