Rarity & Glow Colors
How Dig & Clean signals treasure quality before and after dig—detector glows, dig difficulty, and collection value.
Finding spots: detector. Item families: items & finds.
Dig & Clean uses rarity to separate weak clutter from museum-grade finds. Before digging, the detector marks spots with glow colors that follow common rarity ladders (common through mythic-style tiers). After cleaning, value and museum income potential become clear.
Exact color-to-tier mapping should be confirmed in the live client—this page documents the system, not a frozen palette chart.
Pre-dig glows
While scanning the dig area, glow markers indicate buried treasure. Color differences let players prioritize before spending dig time.
Weak detectors may not show the highest tiers. Upgrade path: detector · session tips: dig faster.
Tier ladder
Beginner guides describe Dig & Clean rarities with the familiar ladder below. Glow color maps to these bands before dig; cleaned values refine keep/sell after spray.
| Band | Player meaning | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Common | Low clutter / early filler | Medium |
| Uncommon | Low–mid dig targets | Medium |
| Rare | Solid gold / museum candidates | Medium |
| Epic | Higher museum value candidates | Medium |
| Legendary | Strong keep / replace weak slots | Medium |
| Mythic / Mythical | Top sell or display flex (multi-source wording varies) | Medium |
Rarity and digging
Higher-rarity spots take more dig effort and may require a stronger shovel. If the dig meter stalls, upgrade the shovel or pick a lower glow.
Mechanics: dig minigame.
Rarity and value
- After spray bottle clean, compare museum cash generation
- Limited museum slots favor higher-value keepers — sell or museum
- Surplus low-tier finds convert to cash at the sell station — cash guide

FAQ
What do glow colors mean in Dig & Clean?
They are pre-dig rarity hints from the detector. Higher-tier colors generally mark better treasure—confirm the live legend in-game.
Should I dig every glow?
Early on, skipping the weakest glows often earns more cash per minute if your shovel can clear mid/high spots.
