What are thoughts about the shovel

You can hit a rock to get MONEY!!!
Money money money!!! :D
And also fossils, and also groids if you're into that stuff.
 
Or put down path squares around the area you want to dig, then remove the square in the area you want to dig, then you won't miss at all, because the shovel won't dig where there is a path on the ground. I do this all the time, especially when planting, so I know it'll be accurate.
Yesss I do this, too. Got no time or igb/tbt to be wasting bush starts!

I think the shovel is a wonderful tool. It's sturdy and beautiful and it works hard. Without my shovel, I am nothing. I'd die inside if someone were to steal my beloved shovel.

Lmao. This is great.

For real though, the shovel is the only thing I really keep in my pockets. The rest I store in my letters, each tool has it's own letter so I always know where it is.
 
I love the shovel. It's so good! It's definitely my favorite item in the game. Thank you, shovel!
 
Oh yeah, I also remember when I first played animal crossing I only used the shovel because I didn't know how to fish/catch bugs. LOL XD
 
It makes sense that you're unhappy with the performance of the ACNL shovel, since as a miner you've probably worked with much better and higher quality varieties. ;)

I personally have nothing negative to say about the in-game shovel. It serves its purpose beautifully when it comes to the arduous task of digging holes.

Perhaps they would prefer a pickax
 
I like my shovel.It is nice and silvery.I nicknamed it "Ol' Scoopy".I hate my bug net,however.It sucks,it's too slow,it's inaccurate and pointless.
 
The shovel definitely doesn't suck! It just takes practice trying to adjust your angle just right so you don't accidentally dig up a bush or some flowers. I've rarely ever had any accidents as far as aiming it wrong, and if I do it's nothing too big that I can't easily fix. And besides, if it weren't for the shovel, there wouldn't exist money trees, ore, money/ore rocks, and fields of pitfalls :p
 
I'm keeping both the silver and gold shovels in my pockets right now as I need those special features. I need all the gold nuggets I can find by smashing rocks with my silver shovel because I'm trying to complete my catalogue, only to have Cyrus keep saying: "I'm sure you don't want one of the nine golden items missing from your catalogue, you want another Golden Screen, right? Right!" I also am trying to breed nearly every single type of hybrid flower for my landscaping right now, so I want that gold shovel to bury my fertiliser. The only reason I'm not trying to breed every type is the golden shovel helped me get the ten pink and orange lilies I needed.
 
I really like digging stuff up and landscaping, so I'd feel completely lost without a shovel. Sure, you have to make sure that you're lined up before you dig, but I wouldn't rag on it too much.
