Special Notes

This collection is started by collecting purple shinies that spawn in specific locations surrounding the D.I.R.T.Y. Excavation Site and the D.I.R.T.Y. construction site. These purple shinies are only visible to wearers of the Excavation Helmet which can be purchased using 10 D.I.R.T.Y. Money reward tokens received for completing the D.I.R.T.Y. Timeline quests.
