As players of the game will know, these patterns signify that a fossil is buried in that very spot and you&#8217;ll almost certainly want to dig it up to see what you&#8217;ve found.<\/p>\n<p>In a post shared online, they say, &#8220;I did a little prank. I&#8217;m going to put these all over my girlfriend&#8217;s island,&#8221; presumably leaving her to constantly think she&#8217;s found a fossil, go to dig it up, and get horribly confused.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-reddit\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\" data-card-created=\"1585481627\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AnimalCrossing\/comments\/fpis9a\/i_did_a_little_prank_im_going_to_put_these_all\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x\">https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AnimalCrossing\/comments\/fpis9a\/i_did_a_little_prank_im_going_to_put_these_all\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It gets better, because buttfartsauce has also provided a QR code of a slightly improved version of the design for you to download at home.
