Mischief of mice channel player Vallen has a great explanation on prospecting pick. corrupt locust are awful the spawners can be broken but take a minute though the better the pick the faster they break. Not sure they are hiding anything but larger ore deposits. And yes a Rooster will attack on occasion haven't died to one yet knock on wood.
It quite pained me to see that there was a decent hematite reading and you said there is no ore. Hematite is iron, and it can be mined with tin-bronze pick. You need to triangulate the readings. Trace or miniscule amounts usually means that the readings have potentially caught on the trail of a bigger deposit. Take readings in all cardinal directions to see where they get bigger and follow that trail until you get decent, high, or ultra-high readings. Density reading doesn't take note of surface ores, it is meant for ore veins deep under ground. Node search has sort of spherical reach, whatever the radius is. Say, it is 6 blocks, so that means 6 blocks in every direction, even above and below, from where the reading is taken.
