Mining Depths Data Ores Enmatters Finders

[Immortal]

Listing an easy reference guide for:
Depths Range of finders
Depths of enmatters/ores

NB: Please read entire post before posting comments like "your info is wrong" etc

For those wanting to contribute, post or PM the max and min depth you have found certain ores&enmatters and/or with what finder (depth more important), and I will update the list, to be used as an easy reference guide for those getting into mining and/or those wanting to know what type of finder is most likely will get them the desired mineral. To make it easier, i have listed minerals/ores you can not find with a certain finder (to extent of EF player's knowledge) Will update list over time: thank you for the contributions so far!.

NB: I prefer exact figures, but approximations are ok
Please note this list evolves+updated regularly - there will be errors in max depths and 'what you can't find' - this is intentional!

In the beginning I tried not to assume a finder can detect certain minerals if i have no proof, however from data sourced in this thread some conclusions:
Deeper finders find a wider range of minerals.
Minerals have definite starting depths - the distribution of their depths varies with location.
There may be an optimum depth required to search for a certain mineral, depending on location, and you can gear your finder to that depth.
Finder depths are based on a bell-curve for number_of_finds vs
This is shown collected from PkmX's thread. The effective range of finder, in general, can be assumed to be ±200 the average depth. This post will be updated if certain finder's are found to have a broader confidence range, However 95% of claims will be found with ±200 of the finder depth. This applies equally for enmatter as for ore.
Quick Summary
1. Finders have a limited depth range, where most finds with the finder will be located within ±200m
2. Ores/Enamatters have various minimum depths, but max depths are suspected at 1000m for all enmatters/ores (VU 9.2 and below)
3. A shallow finder that finds lyst does not necessarily mean a deep finder used in the same area will find lyst.
The rarest of ores have a very small range of finds in a location, as well as beginning from 600/700/800/900m. Your own testing will reveal what you can find and where.

Maybe in the same basket as Eluqqa's 5m Belk before the introduction of (L) finders. Without depth though not possible to know whether it would be re-findable

i've got a great minimum depth...i found IV blood moss at 350M and vigitative spores at 425M

[DoNotPause]

found lyst at 1000m with Z20

well.. thats what i found.. mostly with Z20/OF-105 & Tik400

can check better when i get back home =) @ school now :P

[Kamikaas]

looked through some global screenies of myself:

Ganganite: 547m, 627m
Lyst: 620m
Caldo: 461m, 298m, 521m
Blaus: 440m
belkar: 385m, 523m
Gold: 807m
copper: 534m, 378m

[Cuga]

Belkar found at 1000m
Duru found at 1000m
Lyst found at 1000m
Gazz found at 1000m

Expect more shitty finds from me.

Depth is a joke, a smokecreen to make you feel better. The fact is that equipment plays the central role.


Example:
OF101 - cant find ruga
OF105 - can find ruga once every 5000 bombs if you happen to be in the ruga area and be lucky enough.
Tk220 - find ruga every 100 bombs if you are in ruga area and there is ruga around to be found. Which translates into finding ruga every 1000 bombs if you mine in ruga areas only.

I finally figured out what are skills good for: To max equpment. Skills have nothing to do with how big your claims are. In fact the more skillfull you are the less hofs you will get. As soon as you chip out you hit uber or maybe multiple ubers.

[darkwol33]

Sooo.... Oil can found at almost all deeps, from 17 m to 1000m!

That look like for me better then go mining, because the most thing are realy deep

[Legion]

I would just like to point out that i HAVE found bloodmoss with the tt finder So i have to say that you can find anything with any finder it seems, it's just damn rare to find anything good with the lower ones.

Blood Moss I think i found that with TT, and i was v surprised finding Niks + ignisium with them. While i do not doubt the possibility... i think finding gold with TT would be impressive (and believe me i've tried )

Have found Azzurdite with z20 finder

Very interesting post.
However, the bold minerals i found with z20.
