[Spoilers] 4 nuts

[thorda]

I'm currently at the mark of 126/130 Golden Walnuts. I still have to complete the snake fossil, so as soon as we know how many I get from this we can subtract (but I believe it's 2).
The parrot is changing between these 3 hints:

help the man in tent

(snake fossil, we know)

buried in the west

hidden in the west

I'm assuming the fossil will give me 2. and I have these 2 to go on the farm map. However I cant find them anywhere.

Spoiler

I got all the ones from journal scraps, the ship, the mole, the "x" on the ground.

Am I depending on those worms to respawn on the ground? its the only thing I'm thinking of. However there is difference between "hidden" and "buried" so at least one I believe is not from these worm spots.

halp please

Edit: UPDATE
Finished the museum and it gave me 3 Golden Walnuts. Which brings me to 129/130.
The only missing nut is the one "buried in the west". Can't find it anywhere. is it from worm spots?

I found both of the snake vertebrae digging worms--and I lost one of them to the stream :(
There's also the snake skull which I think I got from fishing.

I don't know if you've found it yet, but try digging in the far southwest corner on the beach, there are four marks in the sand - the walnut should be in the middle.

As far as I know, none of the golden walnuts are found in artifact spots. There are however a number of spots on the ground around the island where they are hidden. Look for areas that are circled by stones, starfish, debris, or similar. Hope that helps!
