Aw man, really? That sucks. I kinda hate how a lot of silver tool features don't carry over to the gold, like how the golden axe doesn't make stumps as frequently as the silver.
Anyway, I don't have the golden shovel yet, not really in a huge hurry to. I'm not sure I want bell trees, don't know where I would plant them lol, they're kind of tacky. I suppose the fertilizer effect is useful for hybrids, that I will look forward to. c:
