The Grave Digger NPC, named Doug Graves, appears every 2 hours in the garden, specifically on the right side of the Dead Tree NPC.

Yes, since the event appears every 2 hours, you can participate multiple times throughout the day. Each event session is independent, allowing you to collect rewards from multiple digging sessions.
If you disconnect during the event, you'll lose any remaining digging chances for that session. However, you can rejoin when the next event spawns 2 hours later. It's recommended to ensure a stable internet connection before starting the mini-game.
