Dig spots can be found all around Albion and contain caches of treasure and other useful items, some of which are important to the plot. You'll need a spade in order to dig them up. In Fable and The Lost Chapters, dig spots are identified by the appearance of the spade icon on the D-pad when walking around. In Fable II and Fable III, your dog will alert you to the presence of dig spots; if you lose your dog later in the game, finding these becomes harder and you will need to guess roughly where they are. Items contained within dig spots are random, but the dig spots themselves are always located in the same place.
