The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What can I use to remove this board?
1 of 5: You'll need some sort of sturdy tool to pry it off with.
2 of 5: Look around for the garden's tool shed.
3 of 5: You'll find it next to the building, between a door and a large window.
4 of 5: Open up the shed, then click on the gardening tool inside to take it. (It looks like a hoe, Holmes calls it a small pickaxe, and the inventory screen calls it a spade. What's the deal with that?)
5 of 5: Go back to the fence and get its close-up again. Select the hoe/pickaxe/spade in inventory, then click on the board's hand icon to remove it.
