Hello I am a veteran player since summer of 2012 and I have recently thought how much can you get for digging for 1 hour straight and decided to try it myself here is my info
Shovels:111
Money:1345
Shells:0
That's before now here is after
Shovels:97
Money:2803
Shells:400
Now these are the shell count
Aerolata:90
Starfish:7 yes 7
Sand dollar:62
Scallop:53
Trochus:188
And when I sold them it was 1,458
Now this was the extra data
Crabs killed:55
Deaths:8
Distractions:19
And know I seriously think that they should make it so you can get double the shells for shovels like in 2012 but hey I don't control era
