Found something but cannot dig it up with wishbone

I have wish bone, searching for silver. I think I found some silver but at the mining limit, is there any way to go deeper? Had a skeleton with items buried . Area I am at digging, wishbone pulses showing I am close. Side of steep slope. Mine from the side and could lower but the area I need to mine does not go deeper. I feel I should go deeper but can not.

In another area, found silver vein, dug up one thing of silver then wishbone had no more pulses, is there more silver buried or was it just one rock?

I've had to give up on a few wishbone pings that seemed to be too deep or not there, I've seen some weird spawns rarely where things were out of place so could be that type of thing. Added the ping ranges are pretty big, its easy when you are first starting out to miss. I didn't know this when I started and my first silver mines I probably missed 80% of the silver and tended to dig a bit too soon ping wise.

That was One-Eyed Willy's lost treasure. Many Vikings have died searching for it.

You can make a post on the official Valheim bugtracker, that helps the devs with organizing (potential) bugs:

I went back twice to the spot, that is why I gave up on it. I got the hunted event, so I left then came back. Wishbone keep beeping.

I've seen this fairly recently with gravesites in the Mountains. You used to find silver necklaces in the Mountain graves but I think they removed them for some reason awhile back. The last few builds you'll only find the skeleton but the wishbone keeps going. I'd call it a bug.

Just had that happen. There was nothing but the skeleton that I could find, and the wishbone didn't stop beeping after I picked it up. Pretty annoying.

Buried treasure attracts the wishbone as well, so that might have been the skeleton. But it should have stopped after you picked up the treasure.

There is a mining limit of 8m down, and on the side of a steep slope it can get tricky as to when you've hit the limit.

There is more silver on that last one. Wishbone stops pulsing once you hit it. Silver has a large Y shaped vein underground, and occasionally more than one in the same spot. Dig all around it.
