When to Use the Metal Shovel
The Metal Shovel is best described as: Mid starter island. With 5 power and 15% walk speed, it sits at the Starter Beach stage of the Dig & Clean upgrade path. Use it when the previous shovel starts slowing down your dig loops, or when you move to the next island and need enough power to finish harder dig meters.
Is the Metal Shovel Worth It?
At 9,000 Gold, the Metal Shovel is worth buying only if it removes a clear bottleneck. Compare it with the next tier: if the price jump is small and the power gain is large, skip ahead. If the gap is large, this tier is a reasonable stepping stone.
Items You Can Dig With the Metal Shovel
Shovel Upgrade Context
In Dig & Clean, shovel power decides how fast you clear a dig spot. Walk speed helps you move between spots faster. The recommended upgrade order is: start with the free Plastic Shovel, save for Wood / Metal / Amethyst on the starter island, then move into Titanium / Cobalt / Carbon for Shipwreck Cove, and finally Ruby or Diamond for endgame legendary farming. Always compare the power gain to the price before buying.
