When a resource (copper mine, marble, stone, etc) is depleted, and I send a geologist out searching, he often returns with "too many resources of this type already" - however a new search for the same will be successful.
Often it occurs if I notice that a copper mine is low (eg there are approx 10-20 left) and I send a geologist out searching, then a minute or two before he is finished I destroy the copper mine (to get 25% of the building costs back).
It also happens when I see that a marble mine is almost finished, and I send the geologist looking for marble, timed so that the marble runs out before the geologist is finished searching.

Does the resource have to be already depleted before the geologist starts searching ?

Some places, such as marble in sector 1, have two deposits, but only one can be on at a time.
I have sent geos a few times to look for marble when its down to 5 or less, and they have found it after it has been depleted, but im not sure will this work if you tear down a mine while the geologist is searching for it.

Hi
On 'The Price Of Gold' Side quest (lvl 25), How do you "buy" coins from other players?
I've bought and sold in the trade office but neither seems to contribute
Appreciate any help

it doesn't help to accept others trades even if you get gold for goods.
You need to create trades where you offer goods, and request gold.

eg
click "Choose Offer" and choose 200 marble or 200 bronze, or 250 copper ore, etc.
click "Choose Price" and choose 5 gold
click 4 lots
click "place trade"

It 'should' work however you acquire them, that is accepting a standing offer, placing one yourself with GC as the Price, or even swapping them back and forth with a friend. It's working that way on the Test server at least so if it's picky here perhaps it will sorted soon.

As peck_ed suggested the best way to be sure is:

you can try with one trade and see if the quest bar starts to fill green to confirm this

and give the Quest some time to notice what you've done, it can be slow.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The Geologist has been fickle of late and has also taken up lying, he's been known to overlook even previously exhausted Mines until they're blown up and he's sent again and to return with reports of of faliure ("Oooooooooh ") even when he's been successful. You can double check him using a resource map:

Try a refresh, normally fixes issues like that
