The ores come with veins. Veins are not visible to human eyes, you have to test the walls to find a vein. It might even be possible a cave doesn't have a vein. To test if there's a vein, mine 1-3 squares every few squares (10-20) along the cave wall. Or you could just prospect above.

Not only can you find ore veins in a cave, it is the quickest way to obtain metal early on.

Searching using the keyword "mining" also directs you to other threads related to mining which are too numerous for me to link.

It's all black in the lower layers, no cave systems (although it would be nice to have, with a much lower frequency than on the first layer).
