  Ready to excavate?

  Success Instructions: Different dig-sites in the wastes will require 1-5 Frozen Intuition to excavate.
  
  Failure at these dig-sites will uncover Crystallised Curios; success will produce other things. The darker it is at the Hurlers, the harder the Watchful challenges at the dig-sites will become, increasing your likelihood to uncover Crystallised Curios. You can adjust Hurlers: Darkness with the potbelly stove inside the Offices of the Tracklayer's Union: Hurlers Branch.
