Typically, the best thing to do is to look for a cave/mine system that's already dug out fairly deep, you're likely to find quite a few nice things if it's deep enough.

Just try and dig all the way down if you seriously can't find any holes. In Minecraft strip-mining is useful but in Terraria you do NOT want to do strip-mining. It'll just take way too much time(And money if you decide to use bombs, unless you have a bomb statue) and you wont really get anything useful out of it.

As before, dig a passage down all the way(Also known as a Hellevator, a way to get down to Hell/Underworld easily) till you reach lava or a cave. Spelunker potions also help to find ores. You can find them in chests or if not you can make them when you get some ores stored up.(I believe they require gold ores to make.)
