Only got one new fossil today but that completed the brachiosaurus set.

I have only ever been able to get one clod per dig till just recently when i bought the top pick axe. I can now get 2 per dig just using the pick axe.

Does it make any difference to the awards if you use different tools?

I don't have a lot of luck with this game at all really. Don't get me wrong i have quite a few fossils now but it seems like everyone i know is able to get 2 or 3 fossils with each dig, whereas i only ever get the 1 clod of dirt. Maybe it's the technique i'm using, or the fact that i only own the high class jackhammer. I just don't get it. The technique i usually use is pick axe, pick axe, shovel, jackhammer then i have to quit otherwise the rope snaps.

Any advice would be appreciated

There are lots of techniques to get 2 fossils with only purchasing 1 or 2 tools but I don't think there are any techniques involving just the high class jackhammer. However, the most simplest technique is using the high class pickaxe (£1.19) and do this: Pickaxe(4), Collect fossil, Pickaxe(4), Collect fossil.

However, if you are going to attempt to fill the museum, I'd recommend you go for the best tools (£1.59). This is because they will allow you to get 3 fossils! Even though there are ways to get 3 without all of the top tools but I think I read somewhere something about the rarity only working if you have all them. So the choice is yours.

Hope this helps a little 

PS - Sam or Eewec, you seem to be the experts around here so would be great if you could confirm this info.

DIGGING TIPS

Depending on which tools you use to dig, depends on how many fossils you can find in one dig.

If using BASIC TOOLS, you should quit after finding 1 fossil, if you continue the rope will break and you will lose the fossil that you found.

If using HIGH CLASS TOOLS, you can dig successfully for a second fossil.

The following combo works to get 2 fossils.

CLOD 1 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Shovel

CLOD 2 - Shovel, Shovel, Pickaxe

After getting your second fossil you must quit, or the rope will break and you will fall and lose all your fossils.

If using LEGENDARY TOOLS, you can successfully dig for 3 fossils.

The following combos are successful and will help you get 3 fossils.

COMBO1 (courtesy of ck2875)

CLOD 1 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Hammer, Hammer

CLOD 2 - Jackhammer, Brush, Brush

CLOD 3 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Hammer, Brush, Brush

COMBO2 (courtesy of strider367)

CLOD 1 - Pickaxe, Hammer, Shovel

CLOD 2 - Jackhammer, Hammer

CLOD 3 - Pickaxe, Hammer, Shovel

If you dont wish to buy all the legendary tools, it is possible to still get 3 fossils per dig with just two different tools, just follow the following combo. NB by only purchasing 2 of the tools you will miss out on the rarity bonus from owning the other tools.

COMBO3 (courtesy of SirNinjaBoy)

CLOD 1 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Hammer, Hammer

CLOD 2 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Hammer, Hammer

CLOD 3 - Pickaxe, Pickaxe, Hammer, Hammer

Regardless of the level of tools you have, you will be successfully if you follow the above guides. Failure to do so and you could fall from the platform, break all your fossils and rather unceremoniously by dumped upside down buried up to your waist with your legs pointing in the air:

So the game kind of makes having just the one high class tool a bit redundant.

Ahh so thats where I read that. Cheers U_n_y_o_n!

[Mermaid-KT]

Those digging tips look familiar

[Eewec]

Ermm. I think we may have a problem? Anyone got both hind legs for the Tyrannosaurus yet? The reason I ask is due to something I just noticed. The Left hind leg is marked down as the Right hind leg. I just got told I already had the Left hind leg when the bloke found it in the clod I gave him. Checked my Reward listing and yep, definately listing it as the Right hind leg... sooo... was it the left or the right hind leg the bloke found and can you actually get both?

[GoodBytes]

So its true... The T-Rex did have two left feet.

[Eewec]

Well, finally got round to getting photographic evidence that you're right. Well, at least the left leg is labelled as the right in any case;

Look closely at that second one, it shows the Left leg... Haven't got the other leg yet, but don't know what it would be labeled as.

EDIT: Hmm looks like I just completed the Pteranodon, so that's my first collection for the third release of fossils complete now.

[sam_reynolds01]

Congrats on your first complete fino set

Dont worry about the Rex, I have the left hind leg which is on the wrong side too.
