Then all you have to do is go to where the 1 lines would have met....and that should be the location if the artifact
it doesnt work like that
basically the direction of the spyglass is OUT by a some degrees depending on the distance from the artifact
so lets say you facing the artifact and its 5yards away (green) if you drop the glass you get a cone of 5° if however you are 90yards away that cone is now 90° so the direction will be OUT by upto 45° left or right if your say 160yards away the cone is now 160° giving the chance of being out by 80° either side.
so heres my tips :-
place the survey down - walk the direction it shows you depending on color
place the survey down - instead of turn all the way it shows - only turn half way - then walk again depending on color
place the survey down - turn half way - walk ( rinse & repeat )
when you get to the artifact - pick it up before it despawns
if you use gatherer hit this handy macro
Code:
/script Gatherer.Api.AddGather(157936, "Treasure", false, nil, nil, nil, true)
which will mark the area with a ungoro dirt pile (which is cool since if your not in ungoro it wont matter)
there are about 10 spawns per digsite (once you have all of them marked you can quickly tell which one your after and run to it for less survey time)
good luck all you treasure hunters :P
