Dig Spot

One frequent task is to hunt for buried treasure on a specific island. You can identify possible dig spots only because a green circle appears if you wander very close to one. There are only a few possible dig spots on each island.

Port Royal
Sam Seabones's missing earring is in a treasure chest behind the building he stands next to.

Tortuga
One major dig spot is on the beach near the entrance to Misty Mire. For some reason, you are told to look for this treasure in "the jungle" of Tortuga.

Padres del Fuego
Major dig spot is in front of gypsy Valentina.

Driftwood Island
Dig spot near the island NPC; beware of the crabs that spawn there.
