Another GTA Online weekly update has been released by Rockstar, adding more content and activities to the game, including the new Buried Stashes on Cayo Perico.

Buried Stashes are a new recurring collectible added to GTA Online as part of The Criminal Enterprises update. Starting this week, players can search for these stashes hidden on the iconic Cayo Perico island and get rewarded with GTA$ and RP. This article will share everything players should know about the Metal Detector random event and how to find the Buried Stashes in GTA Online.


How to get started with Buried Stashes and Metal Detector in GTA Online

Rockstar has introduced a new way for players to engage themselves on the beloved Cayo Perico island and earn more rewards.

To get started on those stashes, players first need to find a Skeleton in the game. This skeleton can be in one of the ten pre-determined areas around Los Santos’ south coast. All that players will be able to see is a blue dot whenever they are near the right location. Here’s a list of all the places where one can find the skeleton in Los Santos:

  1. Pacific Bluffs beachfront
  2. Del Perro Beach at the canal inlet
  3. La Puerta in the south-west of LS Storm Drain
  4. LSIA west coast
  5. Port of Los Santos, Elysian Island under a dry dock
  6. Banning in the south-east of LS Storm Drain
  7. Rancho on the west bank of the LS River
  8. South of El Burro Boulevard
  9. East coast of Palomino Highlands
  10. Beach east of NOOSE Headquarters

Once players find the skeleton, they must grab the treasure map of Cayo Perico Island from it and find a Metal Detector located nearby. The Metal Detector is a small metal detection device that flashes a blue light when it connects with the relevant objects and red when it doesn’t. The device will also emit a beeping sound to steer players in the right direction. The closer a player is to a stash, the faster the beeping will get.

Players have to use the detector and the map they found to get the two buried stashes (only two can be collected per day). Gamers can do this activity daily, earning cash, RP, and hustling in a new way. They should also note that if they don’t collect the skeleton and Metal Detector, both of them de-spawn and re-spawn again later in the game.
