Hi cmdr,
I'm actually looking for vanadium and germanium for my Distant Worlds journey. I'm prospecting high metal rich planets and I suspect that surface colouration also plays a role in the search. So I'm looking for silver, grey, yellow and dark orange surfaces. Some clues bring to craters because fallen asteroids bring many metal samples with them. I'll let you know if I find them and give you some observation infos.
good hunt!
Also found this, hope it will help:

I found that Icy planets are best since they don't spawn outcrops.
(meaning that mesosiderites and metalic meteorites are more abundant, which is good for uncommon and rare materials)
I thought so too...until yesterday.. when OC1 and OC2 were found on the Ice moon (Edit: looking at it again... it was an Rocky Ice World - ) we were prospecting... First time I'd ever saw them there.I found that Icy planets are best since they don't spawn outcrops.
