Mining (SoM)

Mining is an activity available in Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories.
: For further information on mined materials, view Ores, Stones, and Gems
Going to the mines is the fastest way to earn much needed money to buy precious seeds and grow crops & flowers. The clock does not tick once you're inside the mine, so all you need is a hammer and a hoe.
The best method to find the next ladder is to dig the perimeter of the room, followed by the next row in. The ladder never seems to appear within a 1-square radius of the previous ladder and will never appear below where an ore lode was.
==Mining Tips==
* Bring lots of cooked food to replenish your stamina. 99 bread is great but expensive as you need to buy 3 units of flour and 1 of salt to make one bread. The cheapest way is to either make boiled eggs or fried eggs or cooked fish.
* Upgrade your hammer and your hoe ASAP to Gold (maximum level). The upgraded hammer will take less of your stamina and the gold hoe can dig up to 6 squares at a time!
* Use the save/load trick to save your energy and supplies when you are faced with really large areas. (i.e. some lower levels are huge: about 21 x 21...or more!)
* The ladder usually appears 2 or 3 squares away from the wall.
