Shovels in the Animal Crossing series are used to dig holes and bury items in the ground. It is an essential tool for planting flora, unearthing fossils to donate to the museum, and removing stumps from trees that have fallen to an axe.
Usage[edit]
A shovel can be used to dig holes in any location where there is no obstruction, such as stone paths, ground designs, buildings, structures and trees. Flora such as flowers, fruit, saplings and bamboo shoots can be buried within holes in order to grow them. Items can also be buried in the ground, and are marked with a small star-shaped crack. Items can be unearthed with a shovel, while digging plants will destroy them. Tree stumps and bushes can only be removed by digging them out with a shovel.
Animal Crossing New Horizons Gold Shovel
Shovels can also be used on certain rocks. Daily in every game, a random rock in town will dispense Bells or ore when struck with a shovel. In Doubutsu no Mori e+, a random rock in town can be broken once a week to access the Resetti Surveillance Center. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, a fake rock will appear somewhere in town and can be broken with a shovel to reveal a single piece of ore. Additionally, in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, all rocks except for one will yield resources, such as clay, stone, or iron nuggets, while the remaining one will yield Bells like in previous games
In every game, there are more advanced versions of the shovel that have unique effects, though they differ between the games. The Silver Shovel has a slim chance of altering the Money Rock, causing it dispense double the usual amount of money, or ores instead of Bells. The Golden Shovel has the ability to bury Bells to plant Money Trees, or unearth random Bells from the ground.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons[edit]
Golden Shovel In Animal Crossing
Shovels in New Horizons will break after a specific amount of uses. Digging up items buried in the ground, uprooting plants and trees, and hitting rocks all reduce a shovel's durability. A shovel's durability is not reduced when hitting other players or characters, hitting objects that aren't rocks, digging holes without finding anything or when filling holes.
Unlike most other tools, shovels will not break for the certain actions even when they are no longer durable. This is to prevent the breakage from interfering with the action. Such actions include breaking rocks, uprooting full-grown trees, or when hitting a rock that dispenses an item. The shovel will remain usable until a short moment after such actions have stopped.

Some Animal Crossing fans were not expecting golden weapons to be in New Horizons, but they are. This guide will cover how to get the golden axe and cover how we might be able to get some of the other golden weapons as well.
How to Get The Golden Axe
To get the golden axe, you will have to break one-hundred axes. This may sound a little easier than it actually is. Once you start trying to do it, you’ll realize it will take quite a bit of time to complete.
However, we do have some tips for you to complete this quickly and efficiently. If you don’t want to go out of your way to complete this, you will unlock it eventually just through playing the game regularly from doing things like gathering wood.
You will want to stock up on as many Flimsy Axes as you can get your hands on. These are the cheapest and easiest to break axes in the game and will break somewhere around 40 hits.
Check your Miles Achievements page in-game to see how many trashes tools you have. In there you will be able to see how many axes you’ve already broken.
To get flimsy axes, you can either use your spare wood and branches to craft them or go to Nook’s Cranny and buy them for 800 bells each. This means it would take roughly 80,000 bells to complete this challenge if you buy all of the Flimsy Axes.
Next, find a tree close to the shop so you can run back and forth as quickly as possible. Start chopping the tree and breaking your axe. Again, somewhere around 40 hits will break your Flimsy Axe. Swap to your next Flimsy Axe, and rinse and repeat.
You’ll then unlock the Golden Axe DIY recipe. Head on over to your crafting bench and craft it up using a Regular Axe and a Gold Nugget.
There are other golden weapons and tools in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, such as the Golden Fishing Rod, Golden Bug Nut, Golden Watering Can, Golden Shovel, and Golden Slingshot.
