A Gold Nugget is a mineral in Don't Starve. It is a required item for many Crafting recipes

Gold Nuggets can be found by mining Boulders (with gold veins on their side) or Stalagmites (found only in Caves). They can be found lying on the ground in Graveyards or Rocky biomes, and fall from the ceiling in Caves during Earthquakes. The Pig King will also exchange Gold Nuggets for certain items, and Gold Nuggets can be crafted by Wilson using Nitre if he has the "Transmute Ore Ⅱ" ability unlocked in his insight skill-tree.. As some of the aforementioned items exchangeable for Gold Nuggets are renewable, this makes it a fully-renewable resource.

Like most other minerals, Gold Nuggets can be eaten by Slurtles and Snurtles, and Slurtles will attack a player carrying it if there aren't any other minerals in the immediate area.
