Iron Nuggets are one of the most essential materials in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Required for crafting useful tools and other items, farming Iron Nuggets efficiently is key. Thankfully, there are reliable methods to obtain these coveted nuggets at a faster rate.
Finding Iron Nuggets Naturally
The sole natural way to find Iron Nuggets is by hitting silver-colored rocks scattered across your island with a shovel or axe. Each hit spawns a random material like Stone, Clay, or - with luck - . Reset daily, these rocks provide a maximum of eight hits.
To maximize yields, dig holes around rocks to halt bouncing away. Only regular trees give one item per day, so always check these too for potential Iron Nuggets.

Additional Tips
Consider setting your Switch date back to respawn home island rocks. Eat fruits before rock-tapping for eight hits. Visit friends' islands daily for more rocks. Share extra nuggets on if you have a surplus.
