Old Symbol (Case 36) is a Rare-tier Workstation find — worth a museum slot, and worth knowing apart from its near-identical cousin, Ancient Symbol (Case 37).
What Is Old Symbol (Case 36)
Old Symbol (Case 36) sits in the Rare tier, a step up from the Common finds that make up most of your early cleaning results. It's independently catalogued from Ancient Symbol (Case 37) — the two share the same rarity, the same Kudos value, and the same source, but are listed as two separate items rather than one entry. No source we've cross-checked explains what visually or mechanically distinguishes "Case 36" from "Case 37" beyond the case number itself.
Where to Find Old Symbol (Case 36)

Data confidence note: Dig & Clean's item database isn't official yet — names and values here are corroborated across community sources, but specific numbers trace back to a single fan wiki and may drift as more data comes in.
At Rare tier with a Kudos value, Old Symbol (Case 36) is a solid museum candidate the first time you find one — Rare finds only turn up an estimated ~5.9% of the time (see the Rarity Odds page), so it's not something you'll swim in. If you already hold or have displayed one, duplicates are best sold or routed through a Storage Crate rather than left in your inventory.
