Gear Shop
Where Dig & Clean converts cash into detectors, shovels, and cleaning gear—the progression counterpoint to museum income.
Earn cash: cash & income. Spend order: finish fast.
The gear shop is Dig & Clean’s upgrade vendor. Cash earned from museum tourists and sold treasures buys better detectors, shovels, and spray bottles (later cleaners such as a pressure washer).
The sell station is commonly described next to the gear shop—convert surplus finds to cash, then reinvest.
Function
Gear shop turns session cash into permanent throughput. Without shop upgrades, dig/clean speed plateaus even if the museum is full.
Cash sources: cash guide · keep vs sell: sell or museum.

Spend order
Do not dump all cash into one line if another stage is clogged. Dirty queues need spray; empty digs need shovel/detector.
