Coal truck mining site

The Coal Trucks are located north of the Fishing Guild and west of McGrubor's Wood. At the coal truck mining area, there are 18 coal rocks and 3 carts. This is considered one of the most efficient ways to mine coal. Several loads of coal ores can be stored in any of the carts. Once the carts are full of coal, they then can be removed from any of the carts, but the most convenient location is a building with a mining symbol over it which is in the north-western part of Seers' Village. Note that since Seers' Village is a members-only area, the coal trucks are members-only as well. There is also a log balance (shortcut) just east of the coal trucks which can be used at level 20 Agility to cross over towards McGrubor's Wood. (Otherwise, you have to go around the Fishing Guild. You could also use a Camelot Teleport.)If you are using the log bridge to get the coal to your bank you should have 30+ agility even though 20 is required. You might want to run during trips because of the distance. During runs you should try this:

Get best agility gear or lowest weighing equipment or none at all,grab best pickaxe possibly sacred clay, and the areas go like this- MINE-STORAGE-BANK-STORAGE multiplied by how many trips you take to empty it-Then back to MINE and repeat. If you like superheating the nearby anvil will put the coal to good use making a good way to smith. Or you can just sell it.

With the release of the living rock caverns, a much more efficient method of coal mining entered the game, due to the ability of attaining multiple coal from the same rock without having to walk from rock to rock.

Originally, up to 120 coal ores could be stored at one time; however, the 10 February 2009 news article told of improvements to the rewards for the Seers' headband obtained as a reward from the Seers' Village Tasks. The original article showed that greater coal storage was now possible when the headband is worn, as shown below:

Ores
The mine contains the following ores:
 * 18 Coal



Personalities

 * StankersHead.PNGers

Monsters

 * Giant bat 2.png Bats(level 27) - Warning: Players with a combat level of less than 55 can be attacked
 * Dwarven Guard (level 10)

Quests
The Coal Trucks area also contains the starting point of the Dwarf Cannon quest.

(Note: There is a graphic bug that makes the coal rocks look like adamant rocks.)

Trivia

 * There was a glitch caused when storing coal in the carts with the Seer's headband worn. If the carts are filled beyond the normal 120 limit when using the headband (e.g. 140 with Seer's headband 1), and the headband is taken off, when searching the carts, there will be only 120 coal in the cart. This has been fixed.
 * A player can get maximum xp and coal by having the Seers' headband 4, Varrock armour 3, an amulet of glory, a stealing creation pickaxe, a coal bag, and a penance horn while mining the coal. 196 coal in the trucks, 27 coal in the coal bag and 27 coal in the inventory is currently worth 65250 gp!
