lodes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'many sound prospects for prospectors' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'many sound' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'loads'.
'sound' shows a homophone (sound like).
'loads' is a homophone of 'LODES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lodes that I've seen before include "Doles out in metal veins" , "Metal containers" , "Veins of metal ore" , "Pockets of metal ore" , "Deposit of valuable ores" .)
