Finding every artifact in Stardew Valley to display in the museum can get tedious very quickly if luck isn't on your side. Artifacts can be dug up from the appropriately named Artifact Spots or from breaking geodes. Gems are easier to get thanks to ore deposits in the mines, but those such as the Dwarf Gadget are not as simple. If you want to craft, obtain the Rusty Key to Pelican Town's sewers, and get the Stardrop from the museum, then you'll have to pick up a Dwarf Gadget at some point in your Stardew Valley playthrough.

Every Method of Farming Dwarf Gadget
Where to Find Dwarf Gadget Artifact
The only way to get a Dwarf Gadget is to have Clint break open geodes/Artifact Troves or dig them up in the mines. Specifically, you'll want to break open Magma or Omni Geodes. If you've unlocked Ginger Island or Calico Desert, you can get Artifact Troves.
- You can find Magma Geodes by breaking the rocks found on Floors 81 - 119.
-
Omni Geodes can be found in Skull Cavern on any floor, but they'll also appear in the regular mines on the lower floors. Using bombs in the Skull Cavern will make it much easier and quicker to farm geodes and stone.
- You can also buy three Omni Geodes from Sandy for 1000g.
-
You can trade 5 Omni Geodes for an Artifact Trove at the Desert Trader, but a "free" way of obtaining Artifact Troves is to dig them up with the hoe from Artifact Spots on Ginger Island.
- In 1.6, you can go to the Desert Festival on Spring 15th-17th. If George is there, you can get an Artifact Trove in exchange for 10 Calico Eggs.
Choose the Geologist (Level 5) and the Excavator (Level 10) Mining Skill to double the chances of finding geodes. If you've chosen the Miner (Level 5) profession instead, you can change this by interacting with the dog statue in Pelican Town's sewers.
Digging Up Dwarf Gadget
If you dig in the dirt on Floors 41+, there's a chance you'll get a Dwarf Gadget. Floor 55 and Floor 95 have a large patch of dirt. You can use the hoe to dig up every dirt tile on the floor, then take the elevator back to Floor 0. Then, use the elevator again to return to Floor 55/95 to "refresh" the dirt patches.
How to Use Dwarf Gadget
Crafting Recipes
You can donate a Dwarf Gadget to the Pelican Town Museum. Unlike the Dwarf Scrolls, the Dwarf Gadget is not required to obtain the Dwarvis Translation Guide. However, you'll need to donate it if you want to get the Burnt Offering furniture item and the Museum's Stardrop.
You need a Dwarf Gadget, a Battery Pack, and 10 Refined Quartz to make the Farm Computer. You'll receive this crafting recipe in the mail from Demetrius after you've completed his special request (Aquatic Overpopulation). The Farm Computer scans your farm and displays information such as how many pieces of hay are in silos, which crops haven't been watered yet, etc.
