The following tools that are used for prospecting:

Equipping a Prospecting Device allows you to {{i|Prospect}}. Prospecting allows you to see the locations of Well points and Ore Nodes which are hidden underground. When Prospecting a pink arrow will be above your head which will spin randomly until you get close enough to a Node for it to lock on and then it will point in the Node's general direction. Once you are close enough a Node will appear on the ground as a patch with brown, gray, or blue steaks running through it.

==How to Prospect==
+
The initial signpost for a Mine Entrance or Well must be built on the appropriate Node with {{i|Prospect}} activated.
To use, equip either a [[Woo-Woo-Wand]] or [[Dowsing Rods]] and toggle the skill in the Adventure Menu (V), Prospect (P). While active, a floating arrow appears above the characters head and will bounce around much like a compass needle trying to point north. It can go from bouncing randomly around to more stabilized direction. Direction is merely orientational, and once you walk close to an ore spot it will be marked as brown circular patch of ground with grey or brown lines covering it.

==Tips==
+
{{{!}} class=wikitable
The easiest way to find an iron node is to use the regular [[Woo-Woo-Wand]] and zoom your camera out far and just wander around in a sort of large expanding circular pattern around the location you desire the Iron node. The prospecting arrow will lock on to a node only when the node is within render range in the world.

In-Game Text

"Now a miner, before he begins to mine the veins, must consider seven things, namely : the situation, the conditions, the water, the roads, the climate, the right of ownership, and the neighbours."

– Georgius Agricola, de Re Metallica

… but first of all the vein must be located. Prospecting allows you to search for suitable locations for conducting a mining operation.

Prospecting Devices

Equipping a Prospecting Device allows you to Prospect icon.png Prospect. Prospecting allows you to see the locations of Well points and Ore Nodes which are hidden underground. When Prospecting a pink arrow will be above your head which will spin randomly until you get close enough to a Node for it to lock on and then it will point in the Node's general direction. Once you are close enough a Node will appear on the ground as a patch with brown, gray, or blue steaks running through it.

The initial signpost for a Mine Entrance or Well must be built on the appropriate Node with Prospect icon.png Prospect activated.
