"Here?"
Abigail followed Leon’s finger and looked over, but the spot he pointed to seemed no different from the rest of the sandy ground they’d passed.
As for the Ancient Spot? She couldn’t see it at all.

He was a little disappointed. If these worm-like Ancient Spots were real, he could dig for relics and pick up some bait on the side. Worms that appeared alongside ancient relics had to be special. Maybe they could even hook a mermaid or some sea monster.
"What are we digging with?" Abigail crouched beside him, looking conflicted.
"With our hands," Leon said, and began scooping away the sand.
