“I can't eat it, but it sure is shiny.”

–Wilson

Gold Nuggets can be found by mining Boulders with gold veins on their side, by mining Stalagmites in Caves or received from the Pig King when fed certain foods or given Gravedigger Items. They can also be found lying on the ground in Graveyards or in Rockyland biomes, and can also fall down on top of the player in Caves during randomly occurring Earthquakes.

Gold Nuggets are used to create many items such as a Luxury Axe and Science Machine. Like all mineral items, they are food sources for Slurtles and Snurtles. Slurtles will attack any player holding Gold Nuggets if there aren't any other minerals in the vicinity.
