I think I have dug close to 100 spots... And the first ore I found was still a boulder on the surface. On the bright side, I found out that prospecting indeed works and I have prospected 2 more ore veins today (haven't checked yet if they are easily accessible in caves

Same. I mined for 2 days straight and found nothing so ended up just wandering for 2 hours until I found surface ore. Haven't found any since, though.

A friend of mine has been smelting heavy earth for days and not gotten any metal yet.

It's different colors, just like all other rocks. My best suggestion is to look for darker rocks.

Depends on rock hardness mainly. The only ore vein I have found was pretty soft (probably as little as 20 str would be enough) on one end and medium hard on the other (probably requiring over 40 str)

Not true. Rocks have a native hardness, modified by a variance field in the map.

I might misunderstood you, sorry, but do you mean that iron can be mined only a certain strength? So should I not even try with str 16?
