How to Prospect:

General instructions

  1. Very Important - only 2 people in range at the same time, others in the team need to hang back by > 32 co-ords
  2. Agree who is moving/testing (A) and who is static (B) (although the static persone will need to move at some point as we get closer to identifying where the marble is

On site

  1. Select a starting Point and direction, with 2 people 30 co-ords apart (EW or NS - depending on direction)
  2. Should be in F8F8 mode and use keyboard arrows to move.
  3. Smash slates
  4. If a single slate is smashed, move forward by 60 co-ords and try again
  5. if 2 slates are smashed, place a bonfire at the feet of both players, not the work begins to find the exact co-ordinate.

Finding the quarry once the a positive range is found

  1. (A) moves 15 co-ordinates to the centre towards player (B), and the person who was successful tests again. place a bonfire
  2. (A) then moves north by 15 co-ords - test again (if positive no need to do step 3. place a bonfire
  3. (A) moves south by 30 co-co-ords - test again place a bonfire

This will then give us an idea of where it is in the circle.

Use the same steps as above, formaing a circle of 15 co-ords apart.

  1. (A) moves 8 co-ordinates to the centre owards player (B), and test. place a bonfire
  2. (A) then moves north by 8 co-ords - test again (if positive no need to do step 3. place a bonfire
  3. (A) moves south by 16 co-co-ords - test again place a bonfire

AND carry on...till you are standing on the same coordinate and get a positive outcome.

Notes - sometimes this will not a build a quarry so it is best to look that there are co-ordinate borders close by.

Finally....
  1. Build the quarry
  2. Guild it
  3. Remove bonfires
