== Description ==
Prospecting is the locating of [[ore]] veins in rock. To start prospecting, activate a [[pickaxe]] and right-click a [[rock tile]], select Mining -> Prospect. Note that you can not search for ore veins by means of prospecting when being inside a cave - you have to be on the surface.
Anyone can detect veins within 3 tiles. At higher skill levels, additional abilities are unlocked.
