'''Prospecting''' is the a [[mining]] sub[[skill]] for locating of [[ore vein]]s , [[flint]], and [[salt]] in [[rock]]. To start prospecting[[prospect]], [[activate]] a [[pickaxe]], right-click a [[rock tile]], and select "Mining > [[Prospect]]". Note that ore veins can't be searched for by means of prospecting when being inside a [[cave]]; the player has to be on the surface. Surface prospecting of [[flint]] and [[salt]] is only for the single tile prospected; nearby flint/salt tiles can't be prospected.
==Notes==
* Ore veins can't be searched for by means of prospecting when being inside a [[cave]]; the player has to be on the surface. Surface prospecting of flint and salt is only for the single tile prospected; nearby flint/salt tiles can't be prospected.
* [[Gem]]s appear randomly during all mining, and cannot be prospected.
* All ores are slightly regional. Thus, if an ore vein is located, it is likely there will be other veins of the same ore type nearby.
==Skill levels==
Anyone can detect veins within 3 tiles. At higher skill levels, additional abilities are unlocked:
* 20 (not on [[GV]] anyway): Estimate the [[quality]] of a vein or rock tile and detect [[flint]]* 40: Detect [[salt]]
* 60: Estimate the remaining amount of ore in a vein
== Vein quality ==
Rock tiles and ore veins have a maximum quality level.
== Vein depletion ==
Ordered by decreasing ore supply. Some estimated values of the message added by [[Gavin]].
* "Only a few weeks mining remain here"
* "The ore will run out any hour (100 left)"
"The estimated values are not to be accepted as 'true', There could be all kinds of factors like it might be a message of total vein capacity, Not just 'whats left'. I noticed these numbers on a [[silver]] vein."
