Money rock trick not working on same day I become mayor?

[Chris01]

I don't know if its part of the game or if I am literally missing the last rock that I need to hit to trigger it, but I am pretty certain I have hit every rock TWICE, I moved into my new town of Rookedge today, and I can't find the money rock anywhere, do I need to wait until tomorrow, I found the gem rock easily enough but alas no money rock yet. Any advice/help is much appreciated, even if I have owned the game for over a year lol, always learning new things about NL

I've always found the money rock on my first day.

Yes I've found it too in the past but for some strange reason I can't find it oh well, I'll get it tomorrow

Leave a hole or place a tile next to each rock after you hit it. I've had to do that in new towns because I couldn't find the money rock either, turned out that I was skipping one thinking I had already done it.

This is what I normally do. Makes things a lot easier, especially in a new town where I'm not sure of my layout yet.

I will give that a go

Well, I started my Cycle Town yesterday and I definitely had a money rock. Just for the 'first day' confirmation.
