How it fits. The bake knows lawns, beaches, gravel and paths, so buried finds can be placed from a stable seed at spots the ground supports. The detector is a held item with a sweep and a rising tone; a find is a hidden instance that only appears when dug. The pin economy (#231) gives finds a natural payoff, and a collection of them needs no new server authority. Digging is an interaction on the crosshair, and the hole can close after a while.

Scope.

A detector with a sweep, a proximity tone and a depth hint.
A small catalog of buried things, spawned at stable ground spots and respawning slowly.
Dig, pick up and keep a find in the inventory or the passport.
A few authored finds at landmarks, including a joke one.
No detector on water or indoors; the tone lies near rebar.
A find can be returned for pins at the lost and found, but the rare ones are keepsakes.

Related. #177 (geocaches), #209 (pant), #231 (pins), #201 (passport).

Campus lawns swallow things: keys, coins, cutlery, bike parts, the occasional phone. A metal detector is a slow gadget for a game that is usually fast, and the payoff is the small story of what someone lost. It also gives a reason to walk the edges of paths and the riverbank. **How it fits.** The bake knows lawns, beaches, gravel and paths, so buried finds can be placed from a stable seed at spots the ground supports.
