Sometimes easiest way to deal with a golem is just dig a hole with your pick. They can't climb back out , and they won't re-spawn.

It detects treasure chests as well.

When the wishbone starts beeping, you have to keep moving until it beeps faster and faster. Ignore the pitch. It goes up and down at random and means nothing.

I've come across a few mountain biomes with no silver, those biomes also contained no drakes or ice golems. A few had wolves & Fenrig, but no drakes or golems & thus no silver.

Some mountains aren't big enough. Obsidian is the clear marker to start looking for silver.

If you don't see any Stone Golems around, go higher. Once you see Golems, Silver should be easy to find

i mined a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mountain and no silver, im loosing my mind

Dig down while it pings almost consistently. As far as i know whishbone might react on buried skeletons, and it's kinda janky. Try walking around an abandoned log cabin untill you feel really irrated by the constant ping and then try to dig straight down to the limit, than to the sides. that should do the trick. If playing hot\cold isnt for you, i advise to make a sledge and bash the ground, looking for "too hard" message. Well, if that still works.

Silver only appears at high altitude.

If you don't see any Stone Golems around, go higher. Once you see Golems, Silver should be easy to find with the Wishbone. Beware the Golems, though.. there are two types, and they both hit really hard. Even in a fully-upgraded Wolf set, they're capable of hitting you in the 40s or so. Parrying is key to killing them. The pointy bois are a bit easier to parry for me.

Personally, I skipped Bonemass and went straight to the Mountains for Silver-tier equipment, and found it using the Iron Sledge. Once you learn the terrain of the Mountains, where Silver typically appears, you'll have no trouble.

Furthermore, if you're lucky, you can often find the tips of Silver veins poking out from raised terrain near cliffs.

Are you actually equipping the wishbone? It won't do anything unless equipped; having it in your inventory is not enough.

There are 2 types of mountain biome actually. Some dont reach high enough and only have wolves and drakes.

Typically only the 'peaked' mountains have obsidian, golems, and silver.

Place wishbone in a slot and right click it in the slot to activate it

I've found if you don't see obsidian, you wont find silver.
