Tian's method for searching the dungeon was a simple one. First he scanned the area with earth manipulation, and then when he found something that he couldn't duplicate, he knew that he had found a rare ore or an elemental stone.
It wasn't perfect, as there were many veins of other elements in the area that interfered with his senses, but those were also usually rare resources, so he would take those too.
He could make high-quality metals for gear, but these ores were imbued with many different elemental aspects that he wasn't even compatible with. So, when he encountered them, he directed the golems to go dig up the strange stuff and pile it up for the Karl to sort.
After all, he didn't want a bunch of weird elemental metals in his space, messing up the vibe.
