Ruins are explorable dungeons of a bygone era in Sand Land that hide essential treasures. They require critical thinking when exploring, but will reward you with valuable ancient currency used to purchase items from a quirky NPC found in Spino.

However, knowing how to find them and fully exploring them once found can be tricky, since you may run into them before unlocking specific content in the game due to the freedom of Sand Land's open-world exploration. Here's where to get Ancient Gold Coins in Sand Land to purchase Treasure Maps and find all the valuable loot hidden beneath the sand of every region in the game.

To get Ancient Gold Coins, you must explore ruins in Sand Land's barren wasteland. At the beginning of the game, you will encounter the Lisab Ruins, which serve as an introduction. Once you thoroughly explore the ruins and unlock all the secrets, you will discover treasure chests deep inside the ruins containing Ancient Gold Coins.

Each ruin in the game requires a specific vehicle to access the areas where you can uncover Ancient Gold Coins. For example, to progress deeper into the Lisab Ruins, you must use your 104 Tank's cannon to blow open a wall. On the other hand, to continue further in the North Laure Ruins, you will need a Motorbike to jump across a large gap that prevents you from proceeding without one.

After completing the Lisab Ruins, finding additional ruins will become more challenging as the sand covering the Earth has hidden them well. To reveal their location, you must find and repair Radio Towers scattered throughout the game. These towers will provide you with the necessary information to discover the hidden ruins, but remember that specific vehicles will still be required to explore them.

Once found, you'll need to use materials to repair the Radio Towers to restore them to their former glory. As a reward, the fixed radio towers reveal the map of the region they are located in and show icons of various landmarks, including ruins. There are 19 Radio Towers in Sand Land, one for each area. If you want to find Ruins to get more Ancient Gold Coins in Sand Land, then repairing Radio Towers is the easiest way.
