One of the items, however, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokemoncenter-online.com\/4521329415963.html\" target=\"_blank\">an actual Fossil Excavation Kit<\/a> based off the minigame in Gen 4&#8217;s Underground.<\/p>\n<p>I <b>love<\/b> rocks and find these really fun so I leaped on that immediately and knew that I needed it. Even outside of my love of rocks, some of my favorite merchandise for any series are things that are actually like&#8230; actual items from those series so getting a kit that allows you to find fossils among other things (I&#8217;m especially excited for the Heart Scale&#8211; here is hoping I get one as while I&#8217;d love to get one of each type, the heart shard is the one I want most of all) is so incredibly exciting to me. <\/p>\n<p>Each kit contains four out of six items&#8211; at least two fossils and at least one of the &#8220;miscellaneous&#8221; items which contain the heart scale and three spheres (one blue, one red, and one green) together. <\/p>\n<p>That said, while the kit suggests you are &#8220;gentle&#8221; as to not hurt the items (which uh, the poor Dome fossil got a bit hit), the kit is <i>very<\/i> hard and it&#8217;s not really possible to not put more pressure to it to make much leeway. It took us nearly two hours to get through it and clean everything off and it easily could have been longer as two of our items were found fairly close together. <\/p>\n<p>As much as I&#8217;ve been looking forward to this, I&#8217;ve been fairly sick this week and so my own strength wasn&#8217;t really there which I didn&#8217;t fully anticipate so a huge shout-out to my husband who was ready and willing to help me out. <\/p>\n<p>Our first find was about 30%-40% down on the bottom right side and ended up being our very first fossil. That said, it wasn&#8217;t entirely clear just <i>what<\/i> fossil it was yet. The only obvious part was that it wasn&#8217;t a helix fossil, but the other three all had smooth parts so it could still be any of the others at that point.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-300x247.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-300x247.png 300w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-1024x842.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-250x206.png 250w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-550x452.png 550w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-800x658.png 800w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-219x180.png 219w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-365x300.png 365w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit-608x500.png 608w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit.png 1277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After quite a bit of chiseling away, it finally revealed itself as we slowly freed it: Our first fossil is a Skull Fossil!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-17301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-250x333.png 250w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-550x733.png 550w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-800x1067.png 800w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-135x180.png 135w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2-375x500.png 375w, https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/kit2.png 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It unfortunately took quite a long file to find our next item&#8230; Or should I say items?
