As Latvian i am so proud to hear such great man is somehow connected to coutry i live in.

Yea. Once i started panning gravel and sand copper became more acessible. Also some other things are coming through that (like quartz, arrow heads or other rare materials). Sure it's grindy too, but that way night passes and you can continue on other things during day. Once you will get first pixaxe and hammer, you will split copper you dig into usable copper and games becomes more easy. Another thing is charcoal pit - must have to melt copper.
