To dig at The Dig Site in Old School RuneScape, you need to use your trowel on the soil in designated excavation areas until you find an ancient talisman.
Locating the Digging Spots
The Dig Site features specific areas where excavation is possible. For the purpose of finding an ancient talisman, which is often a key objective during quests related to the site, you should focus on the following locations:
- South-western most dig site (Area 5): This area is a primary spot for digging.
- Northern most dig site (Area 1): Another viable location to begin your search.
Look for signs at these locations, which will typically read "Level 3 digs only." indicating they are suitable for this type of excavation.
The Digging Process
Once you've identified a suitable digging spot, follow these steps:
- Equip or hold your trowel: Ensure you have a trowel in your inventory. This is the essential tool for digging at The Dig Site.
- Use the trowel on the soil: Click on your trowel and then click on the soil patch within the designated digging area. Alternatively, you can right-click the soil and select "Use Trowel."
- Continue digging: Finding an ancient talisman can take many attempts. You will likely dig up various items like pottery, stones, or just dirt before the talisman appears. Be prepared to spend several minutes digging as it often requires persistence.
The objective of using the trowel in these specific areas is to uncover an ancient talisman, which is a crucial item for progressing through related quests or activities at The Dig Site.
