Sand
Sand is dug with the shovel from the sand pit at Riverside, 4 at a time; the pit refills at once. It is a Building job that needs Building mastery 3, one more than the rusty axe and pickaxe give. No trader sells Sand.
Sand goes into three things early on. The furnace melts 3 Sand into 3 Glass once you have the Glass technology. The Sluice Box washes 3 Sand into 2 or 3 Tin. And Polished Stone takes 2 Sand per batch.

Notes
- Tin is the other half of bronze. Three Copper Nuggets and one Tin make 4 Bronze Ingots in the furnace, twice what 3 Bronze Scrap give. See Bronze Ingot.
- Gold only with the right perk. The Sluice Box can also wash out a Golden nugget, but its chance is 0.4 times the Gold Digger perk, so without that perk it never happens.
