I am saying if you find a copper boulder, don't stop after you finish picking it apart on the surface. Keep digging into the earth because the copper boulder is actually quite a lot larger than what you see on the surface. From memory, I believe it's about 200% larger than what you see on the surface.

Don't go randomly digging for copper ore if you don't see them visually. ^_^
