To interpret the information, one must understand that this tool '''does not detect the actual presence of ore''' blocks; but detects the '''chance that ores are present'''.

Additionally, some ores are not detected by prospecting with this mode: quartz, or surface copper or rock salt (not to be confused with Halite, which does show up in this propick mode).

Insert the radius you want to use and enter. Please keep in mind that higher radius numbers might be hard on your computer and could potentially lead to freezes. Additionally, even going with in game considerations, knowing the ores in such a big search area might be just as helpful as doing a density search in the first place.
