Archeology
Archeology would be an Activity the Player can do to gain some extra loot / cash, similar to fishing. Also like Fishing, Archeology would revolve around 1 core npc: the Archeologist.It would work by using a shovel on Digging Spots versions on certain tiles. This yields one Fossil / Artifact depending on the Block and biome (loot table below) or some ores, bones, Blocks or other items as well causing the spot to disapear. Digging spots spawn rarely on these cetain tiles. All Fosils and Artifacts have the same chance of dropping, if one is dropped. Artifacts and Fossils can be turned into the Archeologist for Rewards or put on Display in Display Cases (15 glass + 20 wood + 2 Iron/Lead).
