The tailing pile is massive, but amongst the dirt that's piled into a steep hill there are old wheel barrels and steel helmets used by the old miners. In the same pile of dirt you can see remnants of torn clothing and broken tools that once belonged to the old miners. The dirt pile is eroded away at the top from the wind blowing it away over the years.

I sniff, and bark. Then I look at master to see if he wants me to go after the smell. Usually the smell leads to a new exciting creature. I don't like cats.
wooof. master? Did you bring any food for me, dog? No. There was a cat and I started to chase it. Do not fail me again, or you will be out of a home. I can be a great dog for anyone. There are hunters that want me! All right, calm yourself. I'm just grumpy after working all day in this treacherous mine.  I understand master. You work so hard. Why are we on this dirt pile? I'm here to salvage any valuable metals from inside. want me to help? Yes, your digging skills would be very useful in this situation. My hunting skills are even better. Why don't we go hunting instead? Okay, but let's go home first. I'm covered in dirt, and I need a shower badly. You're quite dusty yourself.
