So I guess we could make a topic where you can post updates on
whatever nice things you've mined (like epicaving or strip
mining).
Edit: You can also brag about other items/blocks you've
gathered.
I've just strip mined
10 diamonds
29 gold
105 iron
109 lapis
257 coal
358 redstone
13 flint
128 dirt
127 gravel
2176 cobblestone

Heres a pretty decent haul from exploring the abandoned mines
plus the epicave/ravine complex. It doesn't include the coal
that I had to use for torches though and a question for
everybody, when mining/caving, do you usually toss the flint?
Also, I was exploring the abandoned mines and collecting rails
much of the time, but I did mine wherever I could.

Depends on how much I want to mine. If I go to a serious
epicave, I toss everything except diamond, gold, lapis, iron and
coal that I find. I don't mine redstone. Sometimes I don't mine
coal either, usually I mine a limited amount of coal, and toss
everything else. During such runs I have gotten more than 9
stacks of iron sometimes.

Let me give you a tip for the skeletons, when you get attacked
by one, hide behind a corner to make them come into melee range,
works every time. For the situation where you can't hide behind
a corner (usually an open space), just rush them, or make your
own corner out of cobble.

A splunk from today. The cave still has plenty of stuff, and if
anyone wants to check it, you can enter it from the coords
(1259,77,-829) where I dug a spiral staircase down. The closest
station is in Zuntriio.
6 diamonds
32 gold
41 lapis lazuli
213 iron
369 coal
5 chests
12 melon seeds
1 cocoa bean
100 rails
63 moss stone
1 slime ball

So when you do mining, do you strip (ignore that) until you hit
a cave or something? Then you explore the cave and keeping strip
mining.

*assuming strip mining is being referred to as the same thing as
branch mining, and what I'm doing in my mines*
Generally I check out the area, both to explore a bit and to
secure the area from mobs. If its a big cave, I'll at least
secure the area and move on, if its a small one, I'll just grab
whatever ores there are and seal it off/move on.

OK. I just have a verrrrrry minor heart attack, and block it
off. Then, i move on to the next ore. Once, on my lucky day, i
mined at head level 12 and got 10 diamonds and 10 gold. Also, I
have fortune 3 so I got 20 diamonds! Without hitting a single
cave.
