Uses

Allows the assembly of a Dowsing Rod, used to locate veins of metal ore. When carrying one, a Dowsing Icon will allow the checking of the coordinate you are on.

Dowsing starts a Focus timer.

Tips n Tricks

Sometimes the absence of an ore is as important as presence. If you find a gap in a vein of ore, it's quite probable that you have an intersection of rare ore!

  • Notes

Antimony not recognised at 10 Perception.

Strontium deposits form four-point diamonds -- each point of the diamond is very small, frequently supporting only one mine. The points are located at the North, South, East, and West compass points, and the distance between diametrically-opposed points is 50 coords. -InambaGuum (Tale 3 but still valid)

Platinum unregonised with 17 Perception, along with gold. - Toldy
