Quick notes
- Blathers identifies fossils directly. Take unidentified fossils to the museum.
- Catch records and exhibits differ. A personal fish or bug entry records a catch; the museum needs an actual donation.
- Golden shovel is an early project. Bury a standard shovel and leave it for at least a day before digging it up with another shovel.
- Long-term tools require milestones. Catching all fish or bugs and maintaining a perfect town take time.
