The Mine

[stormmbabe]

Does anyone have any suggestions or hints on how to find the items easier in the mine? I've looked at the guide map and know get the general idea, but even when I get a "very close" sign sometimes it takes another three or so digs to locate it or sometimes I don't find it at all and I've used a tool for nothing. With picks and shovels hard to come by I would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!


Edit(KP) Here is the last expansion requirements for the mine




Edit(AW) just expanded to the mine and here are the requirements:

5 hammers, 5 bricks, and 5 wood planks
and it takes 22 hours to complete. it also unlocks the Jewelsmith which costs 21,000 coins
