Thank you so much Streetwind, as well as everyone else who took the time to reply. It sounds like I just need to keep at it and avoid getting discouraged. The fact that I can move further away before making a new shaft due to the potentially large size of the deposits is promising though. Should save me some time.

Hello all. I've got multiple chunks of Ultra High Magnetite prospected out but when I actually shaft down into the chunks, I can't seem to find any. I've got a layer of andesite from about Y50 all the way down to Y1. Magnetite should be spawning here. But I've already gone through about 3 tin picks and almost 2 prospecting picks and still haven't found any ore at all. Am I doing something wrong? Am I incorrect in my belief that there should be magnetite in a location like this? There is a very thick layer of basalt from the surface that extends down to where the andesite starts, which I know magnetite won't spawn in. But with andesite between Y50 and Y1 that should be well within the depth that magnetite can spawn at, no? Should I try setting my prospecting pick to an obnoxiously high number (it's currently at eight) just to see if there is in fact any ore in these chunks? Thanks for any input or feedback.
