	The possible contents of an artifact spot are controlled by the map where it is located. The specific item found in any artifact spot is fixed for a given day, even if the game is reloaded.<ref name="contents" /> However, a different item is possible the next day (assuming the artifact spot does not disappear overnight). Using a [[Hoes\|Hoe]] with the [[Forge#Tool enchantments\|Archaeologist]] enchantment doubles the chance of finding an artifact.		The possible contents of an artifact spot are controlled by the map where it is located. The specific item found in any artifact spot is mostly fixed for a given day and number of Treasure Totems used, even if the game is reloaded.<ref name="contents" /> However, a different item is possible if a treasure totem is used, or the next day (assuming the artifact spot does not disappear overnight). Using a [[Hoes\|Hoe]] with the [[Forge#Tool enchantments\|Archaeologist]] enchantment doubles the chance of finding an artifact, but otherwise does not affect what item is found. Conversely, unlocking farming mastery will likely change the item that is found, even if the animal cracker is not found.

	The pool of potential items contained within artifact spots is checked against a list, in the order listed below. The chances to find items later in the list vary depending upon the details of which earlier items still remain possible.
