Gold nuggets are a kind of craft material in Animal Crossing New Horizons. They are rare objects obtained by striking a rock with a spade or an axe. They are used to make gold tools and some furniture. Gold nuggets can also sell 10000 bells.
Although it may be available from the beginning, the gold nugget is more difficult to obtain than iron. When a shovel or axe strikes a rock, or when a balloon is detonated, the possibility of falling gold is very small. Initially, only the main part of the island's rock was available. Once you get the vault and the ladder, you get more rock.
At Nook Stop, you can buy Animal Crossing Nook Miles Tickets to travel to other islands in the game, players can visit the desert island. Each island will have about 4-5 rocks, providing additional opportunities for gold. It's hard to find. A lot of people want to hit rocks. Some get gold, but some don't. The best way to get gold nuggets is to hit the rocks on the islands you visit during the mystery tour, and you can continue your journey with a nook miles ticket. Remember to bring an axe or shovel to smash rocks. Gold nuggets are difficult to obtain in large quantities. If you hit the rocks on the island with a shovel every day, you'll end up with a nugget of gold, so the only choice is to do it every day.
Gold nuggets rarely fall from rocks and can be used for DIY. Some items can only be handmade by DIY and made of gold nuggets. You won't encounter many of them, so you must stick to them instead of selling them for the sake of fast pace. So don't sell them, use ACNH Gold Nuggets as the crafting material.
