You will have to reveal all the tiles in a 7x7 area to find the vein.

• ‘O’ the tile you prospected
• ‘X’ tiles that need to be mined out
• ‘#’ you

Note that I left 2 rows of tiles unmined between mined rows. This increases your chances of finding a 2nd vein that is beyond the reach of prospect. As you expand your mine, this pattern should be continued and expanded to reveal all the tiles in your mine's area.
