About

Metal Digger

Features
Read full description

This is a coin mining game, metal detecting, and metal digging game. You can search for various types of metal, currently three: ferrous metal, aluminum, and copper. You can also search for coins; the game features a wide variety of coins, from Peter the Great to the USSR. Various antique crosses and rings are also available as finds. As the game develops, other types of metal and possibly various antiques will be added. Different types of detectors are available in the game: Otklik, Veles, Svarog, and others. They differ in their search radius and the likelihood of finding heavier metals. When searching for metal, you can find coins, but if you're specifically looking for coins, the game features a special metal detector model—the Beryl. When selected in your inventory, the coin search mode is activated. A search magnet is also available for finding finds in swamps and lakes. At the start of the game, you'll have the Otklik detector available in your inventory; other metal detectors will become available as you level up and progress in the game. You'll need to go metal detecting, search for metal, and turn in your finds. This way, you can earn money not only for a more powerful detector, but also for a trailer for your Niva (available at the start of the game), a UAZ, and a Lesnik all-terrain vehicle! With a trailer or a UAZ, you'll be able to load more metal. The trailer can be attached to any of your vehicles. The Lesnik all-terrain vehicle not only has the highest load capacity but also unlocks a new location! This location is where you can find the rarest coins. If you're a treasure hunter, it's time to go treasure hunting! There's also the appropriate equipment for detecting: a shovel for digging and a petrol cutter for cutting large metals. You can also earn achievements in the game—you'll find out what they are once you earn them))
