Given that tin mining was Cornwall's main industry (the original Cornish national toast and motto was 'Kober, Sten ha Pesk', or 'Copper, Tin and Fish', referring to the three core occupations of Cornish life), it is unsurprising that the patron saint of tinners should also become the patron saint of the country.

 Raz's Photos: Cornwall, United Kingdom
Cornwall has been a tin-mining site for millenia; needless to say the techniques have improved somewhat of late.
Cornwall's tin is mixed with granite, so extraction is difficult and expensive.
So, Cornwall's tin deposits wait until (i) someone comes up with an incredibly cheap, non-damaging way to extract tin from granite (unlikely) or (ii) other reserves (typically alluvial) are exhausted and prices rise once more; this is likely to take a long time.

Somewhat older (2500-1500BC) are the Merry Maidens mentioned at the top of this page; that's the same period estimated for Stonehenge and only a couple of centuries more recent than the period during which "ancient" Egypt's pyramids are believed to have been built (2700-1640BC).
Cornwall's Chambered Tombs (including this one) are believed to have been constructed around 4000-3000BC.
