In the top corner of the town there is an area with a waterfall. In that place there is an entrance to a cave like room. That is the Dig-Site.
Enter the Dig-Site early in morning or late in the evening when no one is inside. Make sure you have your Hammer with you and should activate a scene where the first mine is opened. There are four mines in all and each entrance is in the Dig-Site.
I think you can find shining copper in the Ganache Mine.
He is in Ganache Mine District to the North East inside Dales Carpentry Store.
when you go to the bottom of the mine (level 30) there will be very berry
5-6 am that's when I caught mine in the secret cave and toucan island
The lower you go the darker it gets. After a while it will get lighter the more low you get.
On the 10th floor in Ganache Mine ;). Also Calvin will give you a limestone at 2 hearts and a diamond at 5.
It might take a few trips to the mine, but you can find them in the rocks between level 21-30.
Once you reach five hearts with Owen speak with him early in the morning on a Sunny day. He will ask you to go to the bottom of the mine.
There is no set place you can get Silver. Go to the mine and smash rocks. You just have to hope you get lucky. The deeper you go the higher your chance of finding better ores.
I got mine for 49.99 a few months ago (new), but you'll probably find it cheaper somewhere, since it's been a while since then.
In Tree Of Tranquility Mira is at the graveyard by the church. Once this cut scene is over she will be at the Blacksmiths. She refines things you find mining in the mine. !!! :D Fr: Glaceon66 Happy Playing!!!!!
I suggest mining in the town's mine. You collect the ores and take them to the Blacksmith's. There, you can ask to refine them and sell them for a reasonable price. That's one of the best ways to earn money quickly on Tree of Tranquility. :)
