Money Guide

Every day, there are opportunities for you to make money. Don't miss out on
them!

Magic Rock
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of your rocks in the town will turn red when hit with a shovel or axe.
Hit it as many times as you can in a time limit so money bags will come out.
The money bags will come out as follows: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000.
Quite a hefty profit in a short time.

You won't get much from the rock if you don't know how to hit it. Each time
you hit the rock whether with the axe or shovel, you'll move back a bit. The
trick it to make two holes, one to the left and one above you. Position
yourself so that each time you hit the rock, you move back into the holes.
Don't make more that two though or you won't be able to get the maximum
amount of money bags.


Shaking Trees
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not the fruit trees. 10-12 trees in your town will hold other things. Three
has beehives, two have furniture, and the rest have 100 Bell bags. If you
have less than 12 non-fruit trees in your town, then the bees will take
priority, then furniture.

The 100 Bells and furniture is nice, but the main reason you want to shake
trees is to get the bees. Bees are hard to catch, but sell for a nice 4500
bells each. Once you get a net, keep it in the very top left slot of your
item pack. Shake a tree and as soon as the beehive comes out, run south a
bit. Quickly tap the menu button, then equip the net. Exit with the stylus and
then tap A as fast as you can. If you're lucky, you'll catch it. If not, well,
maybe next time. There's no penalty for getting stung by bees. Your villagers
will just think that you're nuts. The bruise on your eye will disappear after
turning off the game or putting some medicine on it.


Fossils and Buried Items
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every day, there will be three or so strange looking dents on the ground of
your town. Dig these up with the shovel and you'll discover an item! If
nobody buried anything in your town, it will be either a fossil, gyroid, or
pitfall trap. Pitfall traps are worthless; store them or dump them in the
trash. Gyroids make funky noises and dance to the music at your house. They
sell for 828 each. For fossils, go to Blathers first and have him examine
them. If it's a duplicate or you don't want to give it to him, you can sell
it. Most uncommon fossils will sell for at least a few thousand bells.


Garbage and Lost and Found
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not the best thing to do for money, but make sure that when you visit the
Town Hall, check inside the garbage dump. Sometimes, you'll find a few pieces
of furniture. Same thing with the Lost and Found at your town gate. 

BUGS, FISH AND SEA SHELLS:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The favorite among most people in getting money. After you get a net and
fishing rod, you're ready to start catching some wildlife in your town. While
there are a lot of common animals, there are also rare ones that sell for
many bells and Tom Nook's. I recommend that you first deliver new species to
the museum though. At the beach, you'll find seashells. If you're in a
desperation to find money, you can always clear off the beach of these shells
and get a hefty 2000 Bells of so.
