After spending some donuts on shovels, I've noticed that the gem always seems to be next to the rocks. Example: - - - - Rock Rock Gem Rock - - - - Rock Anyone seen it ...

I believe it will always be an 'x' formation, however for obvious reasons parts will be removed when the gems are up against the sides. So I tap corner then every three in both directions, then turn the corner and repeat. This way I will typically find the gems in a maximum of 10 shovels if I have to go further into thee interior, but most of the time sooner.
Yes, it is still the "x" shape (t shape) - we're just out of squares. Thinking of it in three shapes helps me "visualize" what I'm looking for and eliminate squares to dig in though.
Thank you - For efficiency, yours is more efficient. This is what I was doing and it takes a max of 14 squares.
1. 4 "middle" squares
