How far to dig for Treasure?!

[Areanem]

Ok, I love the tereasure quest idea, but For god sakes, could a 'X' marks the spot be too much to ask? lol Im not being too serious but I've been digging like crazy in this oe area thats marked on my map and havnt found a thing! Such a large area and I have no idea how deep to go... My stone shovel crafting is freaking amazing now btw!

[Areanem]

Awesome responses everybody! I've tried the wood frame border thing and its worked twice so far. I've been putting all my perk points into scavenging and quality joe. So its good old fashon digging for me so far!

I had a treasure marker on a house. I went inside and nothing in the room. I dug under the house like mad, creating a mammoth crater- no luck. I then went into the garage, up the ladder to the attic, and the chest was floating in the attic touching the ceiling, lol.

the best way to find the exact location of the treasure is by calculating the size of the radius on when the treasure symbol blinks red, then dig on the center of it

I love the hunt for them, once had one spawn on the side of a building above my head and view area, i spent several shovels worth of time digging out the area behind the building searching like cazy til i just randomly looke dup and saw it floating there.

Start at edge of red flashing area
Dig 2 blocks deep
Move forward, Skip a block and repeat
Make a chess board of 2 deep holes separated by untouched earth

Fastest way to find them.

@ Hodor
As you put skill points in "Lucky Looter", the x mark gets more accurate. If you max it out, it pretty much shows you where the treasure is and you just have to dig down a bit. But yes, without any or enough skill points invested in lucky looter, it can be very time consuming and frustrating.

Still it's one of the better quests of A17. There are worse ones, where even lucky looter won't help you and you will spend hours searching for a hidden stash or idle zombie.

@ Storm
Good advice, but has the disadvantage that he's down there and won't see zombies closing in before it's too late. So while it may lead him sooner to the chest, it might also become his grave when he find himself surrounded with nothing but his shovel in the hand :)

Crouch when digging, and you can easily hop out of a 2 deep hole. I rarely see a zombie when I'm treasure hunting.

Then again I play 16.4...

there is a equippable piece idr the exact name but they are a kind of glasses and they close down the radius for another meter

They are around 2 - 4 blocks deep. There is a perk thats helps find the loot alot easier.

Indeed if only people would realise this... sound advice..

I usually walk to the edge of the flashing red marker and plop down a wooden frame, then repeat so I have 4 frames boxing in the search area (in a cross shape).
Next I start at one wooden frame and dig down 3 deep, then dig across to the other frame. If I don't find the treasure in that run, then I'll go to the other frame and dig across to the other frame which creates a cross on the ground.
90% of the time I find the treasure completing this "cross" dig, but in the rare occasion I don't, then I'll cut up the left over squares with a cross too.

The most difficult treasures are on mountains I've found, occasionally I've seen them floating above ground inside houses or on trees. In rare cases they're sitting on the bottom of a lake.

YES!

And do you want every thing in game just to be given on a silver platter.. ?

If only this thread was as hard to dig up, year after year, as the treasure chests apparently are for some users. Time to put this one under the bedrock.
