it may be Dolman, they are going by, or cutting through shipstones. Skeles will actually respawn at the dolman every now and then. Loose items can be found near either. Randomly. If you map mark them, you can always collect stuff later. Do them on slow times, waiting for kilns smelting etc. Take an antler enough wood to throw a table and have at it. Or make a copy of you map and cut the ground up in there. I am not a big fan of scarring my world up in a permanent way. I'd rather do it on a throw-away copy. I just messed up the ground some at my fort, my main save, and largest build/establishment. Rebuilding the land is tedious and erratic at best, Voxels getting abnormally stretched. It leaves awkward pits in the ground that don't want to be easily fixed. It's a pain.

Yes, but the hidden chests are kind of underwhelming, just finding stuff like silver necklaces, that you can sell to Haldor for gold (which you only need to buy the belt the fishing rod and some bait).

Agreed, but of the loot found that has value the silver necklace is the most valuable.

With all the sellable loot you normally come across in the game, it isn't worth your time to go out of your way to find even boat graves, much less the odd chest in the wild....

yup. The one I found was about 6 Floor tiles away from the Starting area

I had a troll help out to find one of these hidden chest...had a troll invasion attacking the area I raised out pops 2 rubies and silver necklace.

Just equip the wishing bone that drops from Bonemass while you're exploring — it detects hidden chests in addition to silver/iron veins.

Sure is nice, being so blissful. Enjoying a new game for the first time, not knowing it's limitations.

Oh no After about .......2500 Stamina point of Running Distance of making a Path (Digging as far down as I can and then Leveling it from there and blah blah blah)
I got a pretty good Idea of the Limitations of how Digging, Hoeing, and Working the Ground is.
