Glowing Spot

Once per day, a glowing spot appears somewhere in town. When dug up, a bag of 1000 Bells can be found.

In Animal Crossing
On very rare occasions bags of 30,000 can be dug up in these holes.

The glowing spot is the only way of obtaining the Golden Shovel|, as a normal shovel must be buried to grow a golden tree which can consequently be shaken.

Burying money bags in this spot is the only way in the Gamecube versions of growing Money Trees.
