Golden Shovel

Gulliver sent me a letter thanking me for all the help I’ve given him. Instead of a hat or furniture item, he sent me a DIY recipe for the golden shovel! Yes! I’ve been waiting for this!

Gulliver's golden shovel DIY letter.

It requires a shovel and one gold nugget. So I grabbed some gold out of storage and made my first golden shovel.

Golden shovel DIY recipe: 1 gold nugget, 1 shovel.

I earned 1,000 Nook Miles for making it. I’ve now made three of the six golden tools in the game…and this is the first new one I’ve made in 11 months!

Golden Milestone. Golden watering can: 6/26/20. Golden slingshot: 6/17/20. Golden shovel: 5/13/21.

It’s kind of funny that it takes so long to get it, when it was the quickest and easiest golden tool to earn in the older games. 😛

C.J. was in town, and he had a freestyle challenge for me; I just had to catch five fish in a row without letting any get away. I quickly completed the challenge and sold the five fish for 3,500 bells. But later, I got 11 fish out of storage and sold them for 97,500 bells.

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 97,500 bells. Deal?

Bones was talking about how good it smells inside Nook’s Cranny. Sorry dawg, but I’m not about to go sticking my nose in Nook’s Cranny. 😛

Bones: Seriously. You GOTTA go check out that smell.

Eloise was wearing sunglasses tonight, and I thought they looked very odd. Not just because it was dark out, but because her eyes are on the side of her head…so the glasses don’t line up with her eyes at all!

Eloise: I must be dreaming. This can't be a cushion!

See you all next time. Never Stop Crossing!
