Before searching
- Pet the cat on the farm and confirm that Treasure Map 1 appears in your inventory.
- Select Use on Treasure Map 1 so you can compare its clue with the environment.
- Buy the Shovel from the General Store. The map supplies the clue, while the Shovel supplies the buried-treasure interaction.
- Travel to the parking-lot area. The reliable sources reviewed identify the area, but not one exact tile.

How to find the buried treasure
- Pet the farm cat to obtain Treasure Map 1.
- Select Use on the map in your inventory and study the displayed clue.
- Buy a Shovel from the General Store before traveling to the parking-lot area.
- Inspect tiles around the parking lot and interact with the tile that matches the map.
- If nothing happens, confirm that the Shovel and Treasure Map 1 are both available before changing areas.
Why the map and shovel are both required
The official item reference describes the Shovel as the tool used for buried treasure and says treasure is found by interacting with the correct tile. Treasure maps are inventory clues that can be viewed with Use; they do not automatically move the player or mark the ground with a permanent waypoint.
The parking-lot location is supported by a developer-marked answer in the game's Steam community discussion. This guide deliberately avoids naming an exact tile or reward because those details are not documented in the official references reviewed.
Common reasons digging fails
- No map: return to the farm and interact with the cat.
- Map acquired but no dig action: obtain the Shovel from the General Store.
- Searching elsewhere: center the search on the parking-lot area shown by the clue.
- Following a reward list: treat undocumented reward claims cautiously because the verified references only establish acquisition, area, and tool.
Treasure Map 1 FAQ and version scope
- Where is Treasure Map 1 used? The confirmed search area is near the parking lot.
- Does using the map reveal a waypoint? The official item information describes it as a clue viewed from the inventory, not as an automatic waypoint.
- Can the treasure be collected without a Shovel? The documented buried-treasure interaction requires the Shovel.
- What is the exact tile or reward? Neither detail is established by the reliable references used for this page, so this guide does not guess.
- What if the scenery differs from a screenshot? Reopen the inventory clue and use the parking-lot area as the confirmed boundary; visual details may differ between game builds.
