Shovel & Timed Chest (Starting Area)

[Pet]

How do I know where to dig or do I just roam around the map, randomly using it to try and find things? (because that is an awful thought)

Yes, I know there is a "guide" about them but I just cannot figure out how to get up to the chest as it seems too high for me to get to.

There are some timed chests up on cliffs you cannot get to yet. They'll be accessible later (somehow).

The buried treasure locations only require a bees ♥♥♥♥ worth of perception to notice. It's stuff like arrows made of rocks, or a fairy ring, or a circle made of trash or an exceptionally prominent grave. All things that look out of place and suggest something might be there.

The only treasures that don't have some big signifier are ones that have a corresponding map elsewhere.

Thank you so much! I started digging pretty much everywhere and so far I've gotten leaves, some metal and one piece of plastic. I was trying to decide if maybe grassy areas indicated more stuff since dirt paths don't seem to have anything in them. I've found that patches of 3D grass (not just terrain paint) have some goodies hidden in them. Unfortunately I also discovered that the holes do not go away and start to seriously trigger trypophobia.

Holes should go away later.
Run around some more outside of starting area, not just by roads. Dig spots are quite obvious.

I guess it's just different in the starting area because no, they aren't really "obvious". Anyways, I got my answer so I'm unsubbing but thank you.

Apart from tutorial quest, there are no buried treasures in starting area. Which is why you haven`t found anything yet.

There are some odd spots with hint marks on the ground where u can dig and find stuff. Like for example: 5 rocks in a circle and high lighted patch in the middle. dig spot. The treasure would be rng.
