Mining Coal

[WarGames1983]

Hi, I need some help with mining.  I believe that I need to mine iron and coal to forge steel, which when combined with sycamore will allow me to craft a Level 40 Steel Pickaxe. However, to mine coal I require a Level 40 Pickaxe. This seems like a chicken & egg situation as I'm unable to mine coal without a level 40 pickaxe, and I need coal to create the steel pickaxe. I have already achieved the Level 40 mining skill using an Iron Pickaxe but it does not allow me to mine coal or steel.
