Puffle Digging

Puffle Digging (aka Treasure!) was a feature that let puffles dig for coins and rare items all around the island while being walked. Each puffle dug differently, and each time you dug, you received a different amount of coins. Some stamps were also available by completing certain tasks.

Glitches[]

Sometimes you get a notification, but it'll say w.notification.treasure instead of _______ has found __ coins! This could be a result of the game trying to read files.
On occasion, your puffle disappears, but it can be seen in your player card. To fix this, simply go to another room.
From time to time, after you stop digging, your puffle will keep digging. It will stop if you move.
Occasionally, when your puffle digs, it will also be by your side, creating a sort of puffle pile.
At times, when your puffle digs up something, a thought bubble appears indicating that the puffle hasn't found anything.
Sometimes when you're given coins, it'll say ___ has found 0 coins.

Tips[]

Get your oldest puffle and dig. It has been proven that it will get rare items or lots of coins.
The happier your puffle is, the more coins or rare items you will get, so make sure your puffles are cared for.

Chests[]

There were three different types of chests that puffles could dig up:

A chest with silver trim, which indicated puffle food.
A chest with gold trim, which indicated a clothing or furniture item.
A golden chest, which indicated a golden item, only dug up by Gold Puffles.

Trivia[]

The info about Puffle Digging was first released on a What's New Blog post here.
There are stamps for puffle digging.
Puffles have been documented digging up amounts of coins exceeding 1000.^[1]
Ever since August 15, 2013, puffles had exclamation point over their heads before they dug treasure.
If a member digs up an item with the membership badge next to it, that item will be locked in the inventory after the player's membership expires. This applies to most Clothes and all Furniture items.
If a member digs up an item without the badge, they will be able to wear it after their membership expires like any other non-member item.
If a non-member digs up treasure, it will always be coins.
If a member penguin walks a Gold Puffle, the player gets a chance to dig up a golden item.
This was an ability harnessed by Herbert during Operation: Puffle to dig up coins for his hot sauce machine.
As of April 17, 2014, puffles can now dig for Treasure in igloos, with the Puffle Tricks.
You can only dig once every 2 minutes without Puffle Tricks.
