Studying stories of Jesus Christ's possible connection to England and other European countries is fasinating to me. Texts that reflect Jesus' possible historical travels deserve a sober look instead of being outright dismissed; I'm glad you took the time to investigate. It looked to be no fun, cold and wet as it was.
As far as tin & lead mining is concerned, there are Biblical scholars who reported the word 'carpenter' is not the best transliteration for Jesus' and his earthly father Joseph's line of work. It would better be interpreted as 'one who works with his hands', implying any number of forms of manual labor.
It would be very interesting to know if anyone has attempted to scan Glastonbury Tor with ground penatrating radar, and maybe scan the whole of Glastonbury with Lidar. That kind of data would be very interesting, and might make (or break) the case for many myths surrounding the area.
Great video Tony!
