Nautilus Fossil and Chipped Amphora

[Chloe]

I'm on the 13th of summer year 6 and have played this save for about 170 hours. I have not found either of the artifacts in the title, despite using the wiki. I've seen people saying they're some of the easiest to find, yet I havent gotten a single one.

Do you know any other tips on finding them or should I just keep finishing and hoeing the worms in town and on the beach until they appear?

Edit: On the wiki it says that you can find the fossil if you have 1+ artifacts, I'm assuming it means overall and not that you already have to have the fossil before you get them from fishing, is that correct?

No special tips, unfortunately. Just keep doing what you're doing, and keep in mind that the game programs one or two artifacts to be your "difficult" artifacts. Everyone has similar stories for their last 1-2 artifacts, no matter what they are. Mine took 5 playthroughs (nautilus and amphibian fossils. Mainly because I stop playing a file once I've completed the CC, so I don't get to year 6 like you did).

Thanks! I seem to be cursed by amphibian fossils, I've gotten 9 of them in 2 days of constant fishing. It's annoying seeing as those are the last 2 things to complete the CC and therefore what I'm calling then end of that playthrough, as I've done everything else, before doing a Joja run.
