I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and silver in them. I also build bridges of silver and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help, yet many people are afraid to let me help them. Who am I?

The man who made it sold it. The man who bought it didn't want it. The man who used it didn't know it. What was it?

Black I am and much admired, men seek me until they're tired. When they find me, they break my head, and take from me my resting bed. What am I?
