How do i mine

This question seems really dumb but here goes...
I have a mine, burned pile of branches
Can't shovel wall.
Ok so my brain tells me you need a pick for hard stone, the game says i need a pick
The stalls say i need 700 silver
Is the barrier to entry 700 silver ? Or am i doing it very wrong
(I'm on popham / returning player)
