Easter Egg Shovel
So, I was looking around in save files to adjust the fuel in the pickup so I don't have to refill it, however upon searching for it using Notepad++ I have found a string of text on line 1021
<GameObject SaveID="99991234431" ReferenceID="4" Name="EasterEggShovel" ISEnabled="true" WasActivated="true">
From there I saw that the position was near and went on a hunt for thus shovel and found it!

How to find the shovel.
So to get the shovel there are three ways, (refer to this link [imgur.com] for images)
  1. You can go to the back of Arnold Parcel and look for a gap in the invisible wall on the right side of a bush close to the hunting stand surrounded by log piles. Then make your way on the dirt paths to the tower. (hard to get lost due to the sheer number of invisible walls in this game)
  2. You can go to the same area above but there are 2 stumps near 2 large pipes where you can walk between. Then follow the paths to the stand.
  3. This is by far the easiest way to get there and that is by making a left at a set of 2 unmarked wooden signs right after you enter Arnold Parcel. then once you reach the road barricades, on foot, go between the 2 side by side and follow the path. Keep following the path and you should end up next to pipes leading into the ground. From here walk over to the hunting tower.
At this point, simply climb the ladder and the shovel should be on your right.

As of now, I do not know what collecting the shovel does and nothing seems any different.

Great job finding it! Now comes the hard part of figuring out what it does. But from what warboyoo said, it must be a specific place.

Also found it. But now I want to know where and how to use it since Warboyoo mentioned it :D It can't be just for digging around at the claim.

I know what to do with the shovel. At the Old Arnold Claim to the left of the caravan there is a path. That's all I will tell. Just go there after you picked up the shovel.

Just follow the little path. Up there are three objects. Two of them are the same. If you have collected the shovel you can interact with the object between the two objects of the same kind :D

Right? The sad part is the object in the middle stays on but the object that appears will disappear.
