XB1S; In the early game locate the Blow Holes (BH). There are 2. Both are by debris fields.

The BH on the NW side has 6 or more silver and sometimes gold.
Surface and hold (LB) until Quartz appears at the edge of the BH.
The presence of Quartz usually indicates that silver has spawned in the BH.
There are 3 Sandstone Out Cropings in each small alcove.

Use the Seaglide to minimize damage. Bring air tanks.

YOU WILL TAKE DAMAGE FROM HEATED WATER.

The other BH is on the South side by Lifepod 6 where the radiation suit can be obtained. WARNING This BH is very hot.

Enjoy.

    Great. In the early game the easiest way to get Ag & Au is the blow hole.
    When you build a PRAWN you can mine deposits for them.

    Remember that for now if you mount a Grappling Arm, it and the Drill Arm will vanish
    if you try to dismount them.
