Editing Shovel

'''Shovels''' in the {{SER}} 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]].

In {{NL|short}}, villagers can be seen carrying around shovels, but they are never used.

==Usage==
[[File:NL Digging a Hole.jpg|200px|thumb|left|A player digging a hole]]
A shovel can be used to dig holes in any location where there is no obstruction, such as stone paths, ground [[design]]s, buildings, structures, and [[tree]]s. Flora such as [[flowers]], [[fruit]], [[sapling]]s and [[bamboo|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 stump design|Tree stump]]s and [[bush]]es can only be removed by digging them out with a shovel.

[[File:NH Digging Up Shining Soil 2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A player dug up a bag of [[Bells]].]]
Shovels can also be used on certain rocks. Daily in every game, a random rock in [[town]] will dispense [[Bell]]s or [[ore]] when struck with a shovel. In {{DnMe+}}, a random rock in town can be broken once a week to access the [[Resetti Surveillance Center]]. In {{NL}}, a fake rock will appear somewhere in town and can be broken with a shovel to reveal a single piece of ore. Additionally, in {{NH}}, 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 [[Bell]]s to plant [[money tree]]s, or unearth random Bells from the ground.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
Shovels in {{NH|short}} will break after a specific amount of uses. Digging up items buried in the ground, uprooting plants and [[tree]]s, and hitting [[rock]]s all reduce a shovel's durability. A shovel's durability is not reduced when hitting other players or characters, hitting objects that are not 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.

Shovels cannot be used on any players' islands unless they are marked as a [[Multiplayer|Best Friend]].
