Finding ore with scouting with a rustroot, burning a mining fire for a whole day, building a minehole and a palisade with four gates --- and all this for the sake of eight tiles of ore copper ???
Hey, I've had a single-tile vein of lead. Used Mining Song, mined with full skills. Still zero lead bars this world. It happens.
But now that you have your mine hole, you can dig around on level 2. There are natural caves there too, so dig until you reach one and you can check a large area. If copper is especially hard to get in your area, you can also trade for 3 hard metal to build a smelter (smelt to nuggets and back for the discovery) and just go straight for iron on layer 3 instead.
