Template:Cleanup Template:Infobox item Shovels are a type of tool that have been available throughout the Animal Crossing series. They are used to dig up buried objects in the ground such as Pitfall Seeds, Gyroids and Fossils. Shovels can also be used to hit rocks which may spawn new bugs or be a Money Rock.

Usage

Shovels are used to dig up fossils marked on the ground by a small crack (star shaped). They are also used to dig up other items, such as pitfall seeds and other buried objects. Shovels are the intended tool to use on rocks to find and exploit money rocks for Bells or ore. Likewise, a hole created by a shovel can be used to bury fruit and bamboo shoots to grow trees and bamboo, or time capsules and other objects to hide them.

Shovels are also the only way of removing stumps after a tree has been cut down using an axe. Likewise, they are used to remove bushes. Digging where a flower is planted will destroy the plant.

Holes dug by shovels can also be used to plant saplings, and plant and replant flowers, despite also being able to do this directly by hand.

A shovel can be used to dig a hole in any location where there is no obstacle blocking the ground, like patterns and houses.
