Gear is the backbone of progress in Dig and Clean, the treasure-hunting simulator on Roblox where you sweep for buried objects, dig them up, and wash them off before displaying them for Gold. Three tools make up the gear list: detectors that find items, shovels that dig them out, and spray bottles that clean them. There are more than 15 pieces to buy in total, and each upgrade costs more Gold but pushes a specific stat higher.
Quick answer: Buy detectors first for higher Luck, then shovels for more Power, and upgrade spray bottles last. The Platinum Detector (x12 Luck), Amethyst Shovel (9 Power), and Turquoise Spray Bottle (114 Power) are the current top tier.
Where to buy gear in Dig and Clean
All shovels, detectors, and spray bottles are sold at the Gear Shop in the center of the map. Every piece is on display for everyone, and stock is unlimited, so nothing sells out. Walk up to the item you want, interact with it, and press the Buy button in the pop-up menu to purchase it with Gold.
Everyone begins with the same free starter set: the Plastic Shovel, the Rusty Detector, and the Basic Spray Bottle. These get you through the earliest digs, but their stats are the lowest in the game.
Detectors: costs, Luck, and Range
Detectors locate buried items. The higher a detector’s Luck, the better your chances of finding rarer treasures, including antiques and treasure chests. Range controls how far out the detector picks up signals. Because Luck directly decides the quality of what you dig up, detectors are the upgrade that matters most.
| Detector | Cost | Luck | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rusty Detector | Free | x1 | 7 |
| Copper Detector | 500 Gold | x3 | 7.5 |
| Silver Detector | 5,000 Gold | x5 | 8 |
| Gold Detector | 28,000 Gold | x8 | 8.5 |
| Platinum Detector | 140,000 Gold | x12 | 9 |
The Platinum Detector is the strongest option available, pairing the highest Luck at x12 with the longest Range at 9.
Shovels: costs, Power, and Walk Speed
A shovel does one job: it digs up the items your detector finds. Power sets how strong each dig is, so higher Power pulls objects out faster. Walk Speed is a bonus that raises your character’s movement, which helps you cover more ground between finds.
| Shovel | Cost | Power | Walk Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic Shovel | Free | 1 | 0% |
| Wood Shovel | 500 Gold | 2 | 5% |
| Stone Shovel | 1,600 Gold | 3 | 10% |
| Metal Shovel | 9,000 Gold | 5 | 15% |
| Gold Shovel | 45,000 Gold | 7 | 20% |
| Amethyst Shovel | 190,000 Gold | 9 | 25% |
The Amethyst Shovel tops the list with 9 Power and a 25% Walk Speed boost, making it the fastest digger once you can afford the 190,000 Gold price.
Spray bottles: costs, Power, and Range
Spray bottles clean the items you dig up. Power is the cleaning stat, and a higher number removes dirt, grime, and rust more quickly. Range decides how wide an area each spray covers. Sprays play no part in finding or collecting items, so they are the lowest priority upgrade.
| Spray Bottle | Cost | Power | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Spray Bottle | Free | 34 | 22 |
| Rubber Spray Bottle | 900 Gold | 43 | 24 |
| Plastic Spray Bottle | 5,500 Gold | 57 | 26 |
| Copper Spray Bottle | 26,000 Gold | 71 | 28 |
| Steel Spray Bottle | 100,000 Gold | 85 | 30 |
| Gold Spray Bottle | 220,000 Gold | 101 | 32 |
| Turquoise Spray Bottle | 400,000 Gold | 114 | 34 |
What order to buy gear
Since Luck decides how rare your finds are, put your first Gold into detectors. Better rarity means more valuable items, which in turn means more Gold. Shovels come next so you can dig those finds out faster with more Power. Hold off on spray upgrades until you already own the best shovel and detector, because cleaning speed does nothing for how much you find or earn.
How to earn Gold for gear
Gold funds every purchase, and there are two reliable ways to collect it. The main source is displaying items in your base. NPC visitors walk in to view your treasures and spend Gold based on each item’s Condition and Rarity, and that Gold lands in your account automatically.
The second option is selling. Talk to the NPC running the Sell Shop, and you can sell any item outright. Its value is set by Condition, Weight, and Rarity together. Mythical-rarity items in Mint Condition with a huge KG Weight stat can sell for millions of Gold, and if you keep those same items on display instead, they can pull in thousands of Gold every second from visitors.
Note: Display slots are limited, so prioritize keeping your rarest items in the best possible Condition inside your base to maximize the passive Gold they generate.
With Luck driving what you find, Power driving how fast you dig it out, and cleaning left for last, the upgrade path stays simple. Chase the Platinum Detector and Amethyst Shovel as your main goals, then round things out with a Turquoise Spray Bottle once the Gold keeps flowing.
