I constantly get dragged on top of veins when I try to mine them multiple times before I can mine them, Its frustrating.
Also on that same note with Mining, I can see the Silver veins up at the top from where I can climb to but not sure why I circled the whole one and found no way up and no cave. Mountain outside Brightwood.
Regarding the dragging on top of veins, have you got “auto climb” on in settings? I had it on and could never get water from wells as my char always wanted to climb up and stand on top.
