Bug, in the Sampo-story?

[Rune Kristian Viken]

As a new digest reader, I don't know if this has been discussed.

When reading through Don Rosa's excelent "Battle of Sampo" story, I noticed,
in the first chapter, than Donald digs Scrooge's "walking stick" (that blue
"stick" Scrooge keeps hitting Donald with) down into the gold.

Four "images" later, Scrooge does have his stick again.  How did he find it? 
No reference to how he found it whatsoever.

"Bug"?
