My choco digging adventure thus far:
30 stacks of greens, 24 of those in altepa, spent about 25k total including choco rentals.
Assuming 700 giant femur, 100 bone chip, 400 zinc ore, i've made back almost exactly half of what i've spent.
I'm still on level zero.
Questions:
Is it normal at level zero to only pull up 1-3 items per stack of greens? Should I expect a level up at ~100 stacks? Is it faster to level up from zero in another zone? Will I start to at least break even at the next level (wait 11)?

once you pull up a bone chip you are on level 1 according to the digging guides...

Apparently you didn't read any of this thread... The level guide has been proven to be wrong by a number of people.

You can dig up King Truffle in Jugner Forest so you can add that to that digging page.

Anyone have any opinions for the best zone to get skillups in? And can you get skillups if you don't dig up anything? My luck in Altepa is like 1-3 items per stack of greens and I'm wondering if this is normal at wait16...

Actually, that's pretty good. When you get higher levels, the rate of pulling items up improves drastically.

From my experiemce ( 2200+ stacks ), your digging level determines how fast you can dig and the quality of the result. Wither you get something or not depends entirely upon the zone's item pool.
It takes one high level digger about 10-12 minutes to deplete the zone. Two diggers mean you get very little.
Three or more? All of them will be just wasting gil, since whatever items regenerated will be drained immediately.
After so long, i know the high level ( wait 0 area 40 or less) by name. I see more than one of them digging where i want to, I immediately change my plans ^^

Heck, sometimes at higher levels you can only pull up 4 per stack, just depends on the zone, how crowded it is, etc.
The Jungles is a great place to dig for low-level diggers, IMHO.

Does anyone have any theories about how zones are replenished? Just curious. I was digging in the ALWAYS dug-up Altepa, and I noticed that I would dig NOTHING for 5 minutes straight, then get 3 items in a row, dig nothing for another 5 minutes, then get 5 items in a row, etc...

Okay i have read most of this post, and i have a few questions.
1. How much profit do u make from chocobo digging?
2. If ur wait time between digs is low does that mean that u can dig up more items consistently?
3. And finally if u are at high level do u consistently dig up items like adaman ore that sell well on the AH?
