== Description =='''Prospecting''' is the locating of [[ore vein]]s in [[rock]]. To start prospecting, [[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.
