Stun Dust			Orange Gem	This bag of dust will stun most enemies, making other weapons and items more effective.
Wheel			Overturned cart in front of the mine.	"The squeaky wheel gets the grease." Well, this one doesn't squeak, and it doesn't turn. Maybe if you can get it loose, you can use it somewhere else.
