The green Strange Doll is one of the rarest artifacts in the museum collection and the most valuable one to sell. Random digging almost never finds it, since every Artifact Spot, Fishing Treasure Chest and soil patch gives it only a tiny chance. The reliable route is Secret Note #17, which marks a spot near JojaMart where one doll is always buried. Jas loves it, which makes it one of her best gifts. Spares make the Wumbus Shirt at the Sewing Machine and work as a green dye.
The in-game description reads: ???
Location
Secret Note #17 is the way to get one on purpose. Secret Notes only appear once the Magnifying Glass has been found, and it comes from the A Winter Mystery quest. After that, notes start turning up from everyday tasks such as fighting monsters. The spot from Note #17 lies north of JojaMart on the riverbank, on the farthest north tile of the eastern side. Digging that tile with a Hoe gives the green doll.
Artifact Spots across the valley can hold the doll too. The Farm, the Bus Stop, Pelican Town, The Beach, Cindersap Forest and The Mountain all give it, but the chance in each is a tiny fraction of a percent. Digging every spot still adds up over a long game. Each spot is twice as likely to give an artifact when dug with a Hoe that carries the Archaeologist enchantment from the Forge in the Volcano Dungeon.
Fishing Treasure Chests give a slightly better chance than any single spot. They sometimes appear while a fish is being reeled in. Soil patches in The Mines and the Skull Cavern give the smallest chance of all, whether they are hoed or blown up with a bomb.
Museum
Gunther runs the Museum & Library in Pelican Town, and he accepts one green Strange Doll, as he does with every artifact. Donating the first green Strange Doll adds it to the artifact collection and raises the donation count toward Gunther's milestone rewards. The green and yellow dolls count as separate artifacts, so both need a place in the collection.
Prices
The Strange Dolls sell for more than any other artifact. A green doll fetches twice the price of a Golden Mask. Reading the Treasure Appraisal Guide, a power book, triples the sale price of every artifact, which lifts a spare doll's price higher still. Even so, the first doll belongs in the museum, because another one may take a very long time to appear.
Gifts
Jas loves the green Strange Doll. A loved gift gives the biggest friendship boost of any gift, so a spare doll is one of the best presents she can receive. The Ancient Doll and the yellow Strange Doll are among her other loved gifts.
Penny and the Dwarf like it, as they like every artifact.
Among those who dislike the green Strange Doll are Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam. The same goes for Leo and Vincent, and for the bachelors and bachelorettes Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Sam, Sebastian and Shane. Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard dislike it too. The shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy also dislike it. Each of those gifts lowers friendship.
These villagers love receiving Strange Doll (green) as a gift.

Notes
Putting Cloth in the feed and a green Strange Doll on the spool of the Sewing Machine makes the Wumbus Shirt. The dye pots stand in Emily and Haley's house at 2 Willow Lane, and the doll counts as a green dye there.
Both Strange Dolls look like characters from Wumbus World, a webcomic by ConcernedApe, the creator of the game. The green doll also resembles the Wumbus Statue and the hero of the film Wumbus, which are nods to the same comic.
