The Golden Shovel is a valuable tool for generating extra income in Animal Crossing, as it is primarily used to plant "money trees," which are special trees that, when shaken, will drop a large amount of bells (the in-game currency). Essentially, it allows players to "grow" money by burying the shovel in a specific spot.

Gulliver, who has washed up on your shore, must be assisted in uncovering the Golden Shovel in ACNH. Upon awakening, he will request your help in locating five Communicator Parts to repair his NookPhone. In most instances, these components can be located by excavating the sand along the shore.

The DIY recipe will be sent to you once you have effectively assisted Gulliver 30 times. If you are interested in time travel, it is worth noting that it is rumored that Gulliver will wash up on your shore every 10 days. However, in our experience, this has not been the case. Take it one day at a time if you are resolute in your determination to locate Gulliver through time travel.
