The Thonky wiki states that
If you hit the money rock in your town with the silver shovel, the rock might give you ore instead of money.
and also
The golden shovel allows you to bury money in the ground, which has a chance of growing into a money tree.
Does the golden shovel still include the functionality of the silver or is it worth keeping both (and only using the golden shovel when I want to plant money trees)?
Best Answer
The golden shovel does not give you a chance of receiving ore.
The gold shovel is a regular shovel with an ability to grow money trees. A silver shovel is a regular shovel with an ability to receive ore when hitting the money rock. If you want to do both, then keep one of each.
