Where to find Tin Ore in Dinkum
Press the M key to bring up your map. Green and yellow areas designate spaces full of foliage, whereas the map’s light and dark brown spots designate the desert or dryer areas. In Dinkum, you can find Tin Ore in arid or desert regions on the map.
To find Tin Ore, identify a place that has a lot of brown and travel to it. There’s a good chance you’ll find Tin Ore there. There are typically large metal deposits in these areas. Sometimes, you’ll even come across a vast field with different mineral deposits, including Copper and Quartz.
Tin and Quartz look very similar, but Tin will be slightly darker and is not translucent like Quartz is, so keep this in mind when looking for ore nodes.

- Get a Basic Pickaxe from John for 1200 coins.
