Dinkum: What to do With Old Keys

gamerant.com:

Dinkum is an Australian farming simulator and survival game. Players will discover that the island isn't all that it seems by finding items and materials with surprising use. One of these items is the Old Key.

Not every item on the island is readily available to players. Harvestables are found by simply exploring the island, but some things will require tools, licenses, and Dinks -the local currency- to access. Players must follow specific steps to find Old Keys in Dinkum.

Dinkum Multiplayer: How to Play With Friends

Players can find Old Keys in barrels located around the island. Some of these barrels are above ground, but most are buried, meaning that players will need to get their hands on a metal detector to find them.

Players can purchase a metal detector to locate old keys underground at the local Shop. To unlock the Shop in Dinkum, players will need to befriend the owner, John. After becoming friends, he will talk to Fletch about a Shop Deed. Fletch is the first island resident and manages the town's commercial buildings, licenses, and house renovations.

Players can apply for building deeds without having to pay upfront. However, this puts the town in debt, so only one deed at a time can be bought. With this in mind, players should plan to pay off the town debt before moving forward. Once the Shop is set up, they'll be able to purchase a metal detector for 6,600 Dinks.

The barrels around the island sometimes contain Old Keys. Barrels are mainly found buried, but a few are above ground. Players can open them by hitting them using a tool or weapon such as a big hammer or pickaxe. To increase the chances of finding an Old Key, they should apply for an excavation license and buy a shovel.
