Amanda dug up the sand all wrong. When presented with a similar
situation, you START digging in the middle and dig a couple feet to
either side until you find it.

Where you start makes no difference if it is randomly placed.

It would be unlikely that it would be too near either end of the
20-30 foot line.

Now you're trying to second guess the production people, people you
don't know and have never met. Maybe they're onto your strategy and will
place it at one end on purpose.

From what is shown she dug in a line and didn't find it, so dug it again
deeper and wider, and again and again until she found it. Given that
fact, where she started would have no affect.
