The efficient dig-clean loop
- Keep your detector equipped and move toward the nearest strong signal.
- Dig the spot fully, then immediately switch to your spray bottle to clean it.
- Sell or stack the find, then move to the next signal without downtime.
- Bank gold at the shop whenever you can afford the next tier.
Scale with your tier
- Early game: maximize digs per minute — focus on affording the next shovel (Wood → Stone → Metal).
- Mid game: raise detector luck to pull rarer finds worth more gold each.
- Late game: pressure washers clean so fast that cleaning stops being a delay; the grind becomes pure detect-dig-sell.
Time your income
To plan a purchase, time a few digs and work out your gold-per-minute, then use the upgrade planner to see how long the grind takes. Treat it as an estimate — luck makes real income swing.
Don't farm on empty
Always keep a gold reserve so a bad luck streak doesn't stall your progression. Sell surplus commons freely, but protect enough to grab the next shovel tier when it unlocks.
