THE FIRST FIELD NOTE

Found artifacts, but no museum income?

Finding an artifact does not start its earnings. Put it on display first — including when rebuilding income after prestige.

Follow the find → display → earn route

Big Dig is a digging and museum-building game: uncover artifacts, build exhibits and improve your museum while following Mayor Dog’s highway story. These independent notes focus on verified player tasks. The current guide covers museum earnings; it does not promise an optimal upgrade order or an ending route.
