Rusty Detector
Starter · Free
Rusty Detector is your free starting tool. It reliably flags buried items so you can learn the loop, but with x1 Luck it almost never points you at the rarer spots. Swap it for the Copper Detector as soon as you can.
Stats
Multiplier on the rarity of what you find. Higher luck means more rare and epic digs.
How far the tool detects or sprays. Higher range covers more ground per use.
Verified notes
- Free with the starter set (kept after you buy better gear).
- Lowest Luck (x1) in the game — upgrade priority is detectors first.
How this fits the loop
Detectors decide the quality of what you dig up, which is why they are the first thing you upgrade. Pair a strong detector with a matching shovel to reach the rarest spots — see the gear upgrade guide.
