Fishing Treasure - Search for Ancient Seed / artifacts

[Zeratul]

I'm gonna start by stating that I already have an Ancient Fruit seed, I got it by feeding alot of crops to the seed maker and got lucky on the RGN and got one.

However, in order to get the "A Complete Collection" and "Craft Master" achievements it appears that I have to get the Ancient Seed Artifact and make the recepie I receive from Gunther when I hand it over to him.

That being said, I've tried my luck on the worms around the Mountain / Forest area when ever I could, but so far got no luck. The worms are quite rare themselfs so I decided to try to luck with Fishing.

I've got an Iridium Rod equiped with Magnet Bait (increase chance of finding treasure) and Treasure Hunter Tackle (Sightly increases the chance to finding treasure). I'm lvl 10 in fishing but unfortunetly I've not chosen the Pirate specialization (And right now I'm not inclined to go through the game files to modify this).

I've read in this thread ( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=633984426 ) that you can fish the Ancient Seed Artifact at the River, but the wiki only said "Fishing Chest" with no location.

QUESTIONS:

1- Can anyone confirm any locations for this Artifact?
2- Usually the treasure chest appears during the first few seconds after you got the fish to bite, but does a treasure chest appears after that? If i keep fighting the fish ( constantly letting it go then reeling him in again ) Will a treasure chest eventually appear?
3- Anyone got any tips regarding finding this Artifact?

Thanks for reading,

I've fished Ancient Seeds out of treasure chests quite a few times. There's no one place where they will appear - your treasure chests have random contents pulled from a common list, regardless of where and when you are fishing. The only real factor is luck, so you will want to go fishing on lucky days to improve your chances, otherwise you'll end up fishing out a lot of crappy treasures and artifacts, and no seed. Note that even under the best conditions, these things are pretty damn rare. But with magnets and treasure hunters, you can get enough treasures to offset this. Just keep going.

Also, I believe you can get ancient seeds out of Omni-geodes, if mining is more your thing.

Only one chest appears per fish, if at all.

First of all, Thanks for replying
You made me remember the Luck factor I was overlooking

About that second question, I was wondering about the fish the didnt inicially gave treasure... If its just a matter of time before one appears...

So just to make things clear:

If a treasure chest does not appear during the first few seconds, does it pop at all if i keep stalling?
