Halite spawns in one of two ways:
<br>
'''Salt Domes''' can spawn anywhere, but must originate in a sedimentary layer.  No Sedimentary = No Halite.  The Halite readings that the propick detects in permil mode are for salt domes.
<br>
'''Dry Salt Lakes''' can only spawn in sedimentary stone top layers in deserts.  In a typical temperate spawn location, with 'realistic' banded climate, you'll need to travel 13k+ blocks south to find true deserts.  Gravel barrens, which you can find in temperate climates, are not hot enough.  The dry salt lake will spawn directly on top of the stone in the region, but below the sand/gravel top layers.  So it will take some shallow exploratory digging to find them.  These dry salt lakes, while much easier to access than salt domes, will not give halite readings on the propick in permil mode, unlike salt domes.  They are easiest to find exposed in cliff faces, due to geologic upheaval.
