Hi. I seem to have lost my shovel... probably stolen by a kid at the den. I had one, as I used it to bury the ghosts bones a long time ago, but I'm in New Reno, and I need to find who gave the Wright kid the Jet, and I realized I don't have my shovel.

I know I can get one back at the Den at that Mummy place I think or a store, but I can't find one in the New Reno vicinity. I'd go to Vault City if I had to as well.

Id try the shop in the entrance to Vault City, or the Farmers Tent opposite the shop, as well as the shops within Vault City's walls. If theres nothing there... have a look around Gecko maybe?

There are two shovels in the ghost house in The Den, right next to the mummy museum.
I think there's one or two in Broken Hills as well.
And there's one in either ghost farm or Modoc.

If you can't find one for free then find a farmer town like Modoc or Broken Hills and check out the shops.

Very slim chance, but maybe in Skeeter's shack in Gecko (theres an awful lot of tool like stuff)

If a kid stole it in the den, you may be able to buy it from a storekeeper.

Also in Reno, if you do the first Salavtore quest, you should end up with a shovel. Careful, its buggy.
