So now I'm having a difficult time with finding copper. I can see tin all over the place but no luck with the copper. Just tin, army of greydwarves and trolls.
Copper is in Black Forest. From a distance it looks like any other large moss covered rocks. Only up close do you see the copper veins. Most of the mines I have found are halfway between shore and the meadow margins. I did find 1 real close to the ocean, but that is not typical. Also am finding more after I crossed a river and am more into the "heart" if you will of the Black Forest - further from the meadow.
When you find one dig all around the portion of stone you see on the surface and go down about 5 or 6 pick blows. There is more under the surface in between standard rock. It also spreads out wider than what you see at the top. So you keep finding more veins. I'd go about 4 to 6 meters past what you see to get all of the ore. Often get 80- 100 ore per mine this way.
