Heres an idea for a new skill belonging to the Mining Family, Lode Finders are dwarfs highly skilled in geology and are able to reveal underground tiles at a distance providing the potential to discover underground features (chasm, river, magma) along with gem and ore deposits with less digging.  A new designation or zone called 'Prospecting' would be created and Lode Finders would go to these areas and make their skill check rolls, when they succeed a random unrevealed tile within a short distance is revealed and if this reveals ore/gems/rare stone the normal alert is fired off.  The distance detection for a Dabbling Lode Finder is only 1 allowing they to 'see' only whats directly under the floor their on or whats in the z-level above them (side walls already being revealed and all).  As skill increases so dose the distance say at a rate of 1 tile per 2 skill levels, allowing a legendary Lode Finder to detect over a considerable distance.
