'''Gold nuggets''' are the most expensive of all eleven [[mineral]]s. They can be found by [[foraging]] at [[colonization|uncolonized]] islands, purchased from other players or [[merchant brigand]]s, or on rare occasions, can be plundered from [[brigand]]s or barbarians (who in turn plundered it from player pirate ships).

''Note:'' Gold nuggets do not appear under the Forageables section of the trading interface but can be found under Minerals.

==Historical Note==
*Gold formerly existed as ore, but as of [[Ice Ocean|Ice]] [[Ice_Ocean_changelog/2008-2#2008-08-11|release 2008-08-11]] and {{release|2008-08-27}}, each unit of ore was turned into 10 nuggets. All recipes and the Gold Digger trophy requirements were adjusted by 10. This change was made partly to resolve the issue of gold ore being too expensive to sell dockside [http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=1608131#1608131], while allowing gold to be found more often while [[foraging]].
