so. the artifact scanner is bugged. no matter how many times i use it it sends me in multiple different directions. i can stand in one spot and hit it 4 to 5 times and each time it points in a new direction.

Unfortunately I haven't found a complete map so I waste a lot of time and haven't bothered to try to get the accolade.
If one is taking too long I just drop it and try another character.
Yes, and what's the quickest way to get multiple alts through the hunt? The floaters. Landing every few minutes to scan will hamper that
Artifacts Map with that one on the
western slope of the volcano that never existed, but some people claimed was there briefly the first year. Ignore that one and you have them all.
I never relied on the scanner lines, as they were always at least a bit misleading. I found it easier to start right by Sovek, then go due South until it said Further, check due West a bit for Closer/Further, then East if it said Further. Doing this I finish on average in two minutes or so.
Edit: If it says Further immediately when you go South, then switch to North. It will be one of the five at the North end oif the map if that is the case.
I immediately noticed the map is missing one I found yesterday, just South of the Promenade on the beach. I think there's another one missing but I can't put my finger on it yet.
This is a map provided by their own gamepedia site, it is not hard to figure out approximately where they are located.
Also, it is correct, if you are given a direction go to the most likely spot where an artifact is located and scan again,
and continue to repeat till you find one, eventually you do find it.
I know cause this is what I do.
Kinda how I do it too. Gotten my time to locate one on foot down to just under five minutes. Though I have the preferred starting point of standing the the central crater (at where the biathlon finish is) and facing north. If the scanner points right, it's one of the eastern ones; left, one of the western ones; etc. Gives me the section of island to search.
Yes I did stop moving for a few seconds before activating it both times, so it's not because of that.
And the artifact was actually under the tree near the beach party fire.
I pity those who don't know all the possible spawn point locations.
The previous scanner was bad, but even at its worst, the direction was in the red cone (even if sometimes, virtually ON one of its sides).
EDIT:
More insanity:
