Best Answer

In The Unexpected Party, Gandalf tells the dwarves:

"Just let any one say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."

Later, as they recount Smaug's destruction Thorin mentions "often sinking as low as blacksmith-work or even coalmining."
