While we might have already covered shovels, shovels in Desert Detectors are nothing without their companion tool. You can’t dig up treasure if you don’t know where to dig! This isn’t Dig It! Our Desert Detectors detector guide is here to explain all about the different kinds of detectors in the game, their stats, where to buy them, and how much money you’ll need to scrape together to make the purchase.
If you want to get right into some Desert Detectors, you can play now on Roblox. If you’d like the shovel equivalent of this, take a look at our Desert Detectors shovel guide.
