    Turtles and ore types / enchants

    Turtles are a madness that I keep contemplating but ultimately shying away from, but I think I just need to suck it up and do it. However, I have a few questions about possibly increasing their returns. 1.) Would it be possible to give a turtle a pick with a Fortune or Silk Touch enchant...
