Survey Notes

For more Frequently Asked Questions please view our FAQ Section.

Notes

  • When surveying around a cave or a place with different elevations, always assume the artifact will be on the outside of the cave or on the top most ‘layer’ of the area.
  • Survey (Dig) sites are phased and unique to only you, there is no competition for your artifact fragments.
  • The Survey Tool is not perfect and does not point a straight (direct) patch to the fragments, but rather the general direction. It becomes more detailed as you go from yellow to green.
  • There is no Surveying underwater, excluding shallow pools that you can stand up in.

Dig Site Bugs/Cannot Survey in Boundaries

Go clear a different dig site then return to the problematic one, it should reset  the survey and you’ll be able to find the remaining artifacts fragments.
