Money Tree Verified
Find a sparkly glowing spot on the ground (the glowing spot where you find your free daily money) and use the shovel to unearth the money bag. Instead of just pocketing the money and closing the hole, stand in front of it, go into your inventory and select the money bag. Now choose the "plant item in ground" option that you also use to grow flowers or fruit and put the bag back into the sparkly spot in the ground. A seedling will sprout, which will grow into a money-bearing tree (if put in a good spot).
Note: Planting a money bag just anywhere will not produce a money tree. It has to be planted in the sparkly special spot.
Catching A Bee Not Verified
Bees are usually in the normal trees. Shake the tree. If a bee comes out, run to the next screen (or acre) then press START quickly. Select your net (you must be like me if you recieved the golden net) then keep running. When your at another screen. Hold A, and let go before you see the bee. Ha! You got that sucker! (This tip is easier if you have quick reflexes.)
Getting Golden Items (without passwords) Verified
Golden Net: Catch all 40 types of insects to get your hands on the Golden Net. The Golden Net will help you catch insects easier. You will also get a Butterfly sign on your house that shows off your bug catching skills.
Golden Fishing Rod: Catch all 40 types of fish to get your hands on the Golden Fishing Rod. The Golden Fishing Rod will help you catch fish easier. You will also get a Weathervane trophy on your house that shows off your fish catching skills.
Golden Shovel: You can produce a Golden Shovel the same way you plant a money tree. Buy an extra shovel, find a sparkle spot, dig out the money bag, stand right in front of it and select the shovel. Pick "bury" and the shovel will be planted in the ground and a sapling will pop up. If the spot is good, a golden tree will grow that will produce a Golden Shovel instead of fruit. The Golden Shovel will unearth 100 Bells at random when you dig in the ground.
Golden Axe: Check the Wishing Well every day for 15 days and get a "Perfect" rating. To do this, you'll have to have the right mix of trees in each acre, pull out weeds, avoid littering, and have plenty of flowers. If you pull this off, visit the Wishing Well to meet the lucky spirit Farley, who will hand over the Golden Axe that never breaks.
Red Rock (Rocky Jackpot) Verified
Every day, one rock in your village will turn into a treasure rock. Walk up to a rock and hit it with either your shovel or axe (preferably your axe). If the rock turns red, quickly hit it again. The most you can hit the rock is seven times. Each time, a money bag will come flying out. The first three bags will be 100 Bell bags and the next 3 will be 1,000 Bell bags. The last bell bag (if you get to it) will be 10,000 bells. The rock will be fading back into it's orignal color meaning you can not get anymore money from the rock soon.
Unverified: This may seem like a lot a work if you do not get the right rock right away however. . . . anyways to get maximum money bags from rocks, walk beside a rock and then dig holes around your person/character. This will prevent your character from bouncing away from the rock, and you will get maximum money.
Shake Trees Verified
Many trees have 100 bells in them. Shake trees to see what falls out - be careful of Bee's though. Two trees will also contain furniture and if you're extremely lucky a bag of 10,000 bells might fall from a tree!
