The Spring Mine is one of the two mines available in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. It is located southwest of your farm, just above the hot spring. The Spring Mine is accessible all year round, unlike the Lake Mine. The Spring Mine holds the essential ores for the upgrading of your tools to more powerful versions, such as Silver and Gold, as well as more valuable ores that allow you to create makers or accessories. The ores inside can also be shipped to provide an extra source of income at the start of the game.
