Mine them in reverse, bury them almost completely except for one tiny corner, and if the hitboxes line up right mining that corner can pop the whole node from above. It happens accidentally with silver sometimes.

Scrap piles spawn outside of sunken crypts? If so, this is the first I'd heard of it, and I'll have to look around my swamps for things I'd missed.

Huh, look at that... Wishbone reveals something else, and the game didn't make it clear. heh. I wish the game would spell out, fully, what these items do.

For anyone who doesn't know, the Wishbone will reveal Silver veins in the Mountains, Muddy Scrap Piles in the Swamps, and Buried Treasure in the Meadows.
