It sends one miner every 5 seconds, up to 8, to the foremost enemy within 160 that no unit blocks (never a flying one). While no such enemy is within 160 and none of its miners fights, it mines 1-2 / 1-3 / 2-3 / 2-4 gold every 3 seconds; all Gold Prospectors together earn at most 300 gold per wave.
