Iron nuggets , gold nuggets , pieces of clay and stones are necessary resources for crafting the various items available in Animal Crossing New Horizons DIY recipes. On your island, resources may become less present if you have broken the rocks or because you have not had the desired resources. In any case, the content of the rocks on your island is updated daily.
First of all, be aware that the type of resources available per rock is completely random, therefore, you will never be sure to have iron or other nuggets as you are looking for. That is why we are going to list the different ways to have quick and easy access to minerals.
On the rocks
It goes without saying that these minerals are available in rocks. Take out your shovel or ax and tap on it to hope you have the resource you want so much.
If you never have any more rocks on your island, invest in a Nook Miles ticket to go visit a mystery island which enjoys rocks that are still intact!
In the flying balloons
A little atypical, but balloons are real gold mines for furniture and resources of all kinds. Carefully pop any balloons you see floating in the sky and open the gift. Luckily, you may have a gold nugget or lots of 5 iron / clay / stone nuggets .
On the seaside
It's possible to find stones on the seaside, just like seashells. So do not hesitate to browse your beaches to find something to do your items!
Gold nuggets
There is indeed a very rare resource which is the gold nugget. You can found it in rocks as well as in balloons. It can sell 8,000 bells per unit and also allows you to make gold objects, such as gold dishes according to our recipes found in a bottle by the sea.
You are free to do what you want with this quality mineral, but keep in mind that it's a rare resource that'll help you to craft some golden tools.
