Nah, why bother with the mines? It's all about that farm life. I mean, sure, go on day 5 if you must, but those crops won't water themselves!
Everyone's talking about waiting for the letter, but honestly, the thrill is in discovering it yourself on day 5. Walking into those mines for the first time is pure magic, especially when you didn't get a heads-up from Joja Corp. Adds a bit of mystery, you know?
To unlock the mines in Stardead Valley, just wait till the 5th day of Spring on your first year. You'll get a letter in your mailbox from Joja Corp saying the mines have been cleared of rocks and it's safe to enter. Head to the northeast corner of the map, right past the Carpenter's Shop to find the entrance. Get ready to fight some monsters and find some awesome ores!
