In my opinion this is how a post apocalyptic MMO should be.
I hate games that are all "you must survive in this environment, use your wits, use your skills, but ONLY FIGHT IN THE DESIGNATED AREAS YOU ARSE-HATS."
as my signature says, first encounter I had, I got shot in the balls for 120 damage, died, and thought "i love this game".
glad there are a few safe zones, you need a breather every now and then, but still, they way you can get shot at any time, betrayed by group members, ambushed etc. It's awesome.
Yes I've died 7 times already, and my only weapon is a mauser with 6 rounds left, but damn it, this is FUN.

Precisely, this is how i felt at the beginning too. I was scared of every pile of rocks.
And yes, its all about discovering. So i strongly suggest YOU DO NOT GO to http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/ since this is where i put everything i discover ;)

In either case joop is right in that shells are fair bet. Just don't expect a lot of material to come outta Junktown mine, unless you're of course the one emptying it hourly ;). Since I can't get more than one swing.

My friends and I are definitely guilty of clearing out the JT mine pretty frequently as of late. If you're looking for iron ore, head to San Fran. I regularly pull 500+ iron ore out of there at once. That mine isn't very good for minerals, though. It seems like JT and NCR mines usually have more minerals than iron ore. I can't be sure if that's because of material respawn rate or because of what people are mining.

Here is a nice tip for making some cash at low levels.
Make a nice melee build does not really make what kind it is (crit build with a knife is best though but experiment)
get 10 brahmin hides and make a tent around kalamath, kill stuff until you get a lvl up and then put the skill points into outdoorsman until you have 50 then go into kalamath and talk to any trapper and get the gecko skinning perk. Now search around kalamath and find geckos and take their pelts. when you get full with pelts bring them back to your tent and repeat. when you have alot of pelts sell them by dialoge to the trader in the bar in kalamath. you get 200 caps for every 4 golden hides and 100 caps for every 4 sliver hides. I have made a couple hundred grand doing this when lvling a large variety of experimental builds.

That's a good tip man, I'm sure some people will appreciate how to get guaranteed caps when the merchants aren't holding. Slaving, spears and gecko pelts are guaranteed money, even if it's fairly slow.

I've only just gotten the courage to shoot at rats, lol.
Also being even more cautious than usual. a guy ran up to me in NCR and machine gunned me then and there. of course the guards killed him but everyone else took my stuff. Death isn't too much of a pain now, though, as I got help and built a tent. still not sure how to gather minerals though.. I know I need a hammer or something but got no idea where to find one.
BUT I haven't spoken to anyone in or been to the mine yet so that'd probably be a good thing to do.
