There is a glitch/exploit which as of july 17 still works:

Use all shovels, store the excavation site, then put it right back. It now behaves like it did when it was first introduced to you in the beginning of the event. I.e


 * you get 12 shovels


 * the sixth shovel you use will find one of the rocks surrounding the gem


 * if you use all 12 shovels, and still haven't found the gem, you are offered 10 more etc.

This can be repeated indefinitely.

The percentages for prizes listed seems to correspond with my loot, with one exception: the barbarian statue seems much rarer. I unearthed 10 towers and 5 gates and a lot of other stuff without getting the barbarian statue. I later played the game with "honestly" earned shovels and found it.
