If you are in an area with at least one [[Sedimentary Rock|sedimentary]] layer (except [[Bauxite|bauxite]]) use the main Prospecting Pick mode (Density Mode, being the only one that shows halite readings). If you find any halite readings, it might be an area prone to spawn a halite deposit known as a "Salt Dome". Find the area with the best readings and around, and go caving or making vertical tunnels until you are in the bottommost sedimentary rock layer, or in the first rock layer that's not sedimentary. Then, go making horizontal tunnels in that level, following the rock type you're in. Once you find a pink rock, that's it, eureka! | If you are in an area with at least one [[Sedimentary Rock|sedimentary]] layer (except [[Bauxite|bauxite]]) use the main Prospecting Pick mode (Density Mode, being the only one that shows halite readings).

A salt dome starts at the sedimentary layer and goes down to mantle level. It has so much salt that you might share it with other people and never run out, if in Multiplayer. In Singleplayer, once you find it, you won't need to search for a second time. | A salt dome starts at the sedimentary layer and goes down to mantle level.

They also frequently have cow skulls, hyenas or cactuses. Look below the dirt/gravel/sand; it is few layers of halite like 2 or 3 blocks below the dirt/gravel/sand, at most. The deposit might provide you several stacks, but it might run out pretty quickly. This is what is called a "Dry lake salt bed". | They also frequently have cow skulls, hyenas or cactuses.
