From Nookipedia:
The Glowing Spot is a feature that appears in Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+. It was removed from Animal Crossing: Wild World onwards. It consists of a shining area in the ground, and appears in a random area of town once per day, similar to the fake rocks in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The player can dig up the glowing area with a shovel, which will usually result in them receiving 1,000 Bells, but rarely 10,000 or 30,000 Bells can be dug up. A Katrina fortune for good money luck can also result in the player digging up 30,000 Bells.

Buying a second shovel from Tom Nook's store and burying it in the glowing spot may result in a golden tree growing in that space (which can be shook for a golden shovel when fully grown). However, the glowing spot does not always generate in a space that will allow trees to grow.

Burying a bag of money in the glowing spot may also cause a tree to grow; this is the only way to grow money trees in games before Wild World. However, sometimes money trees fail, and a regular tree will grow instead. Up to 30,000 Bells can be planted, and if successful, the money tree will bear three bags of money, each one the same amount the player buried.
 
So many things I missed lol. This is really cool.

In GC, you could dig up 1,000 bells everyday from a glowing spot. If you use a golden shovel to bury money, it could grow into a money tree.

That's cool, it might also be some rare material like metal or something, who knows.

it’d be really cool if it were coming back!
 
I hope Golden Trees aren't locked to these spots like the Gamecube version, but glad to see them back.
 
I feel like it's a sort of insect though, it's the same shape in both shots and it looks kinda like dragonfly wings or something similar... Idk. But I really do hope it is in fact the glowing spot, that would be so cool!!!! I am all about the returns of the GC features!!!
 
i hope it's making a return because i want to actually grow money trees this time. i think those are so cool but all of mine never worked out in acnl
 
HEY. Okay. I just saw a post on Reddit and it totally made me think about this thread. Here's the pic:

There's another shot someone captured with another money tree too. Unless I'm mistaken, I think the only way to get a money tree is through these? (Or maybe that's not true! I just can't remember any other methods right now lol.)

So maybe it is a glowing spot! I think that'll be so neat!

Also here's the reddit link in case anyone wants to browse through: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/f7x4fe/belltree_confirmed/

Its how you get one in Population Growing, at least.
 
It looks like they're adding in a lot of features that have been removed in older games like the glowing spot and there was a scene in the direct with a message in a bottle on the beach! I'm super excited for It all

Unless money bags can float, then yep, this feels like confirmation.
