Where to farm iron nuggets?

Players can farm iron nuggets by striking rocks using specific tools, such as the stone pickaxe or a flimsy ax. The number of iron nuggets farmed from a single rock depends on the kind of tool used.

But all rocks on the Animal Crossing island can yield iron nuggets. Players need to find a rock and strike it several times to get as many nuggets as possible. However, be careful not to break the rocks in the process. If done correctly, players can get a maximum of five to seven nuggets from a single rock.
