How to get Gold in Prospecting

How do you get Gold in Prospecting? You won't struggle to find this. In fact, it's one of the most common metals in the game. But when it comes to finding it for reasons other than to sell for a quick buck, you'll need to know a few specific things. Prospecting Gold is needed in a few quests, and you'll struggle to complete them if you overthink your stats and equipment.

While you're sifting the sands for Gold in Prospecting, be sure to check out our list of Prospecting codes for the Roblox game. They come and go like they're sinking in quicksand, and with some offering huge chunks of in-game cash, you might be able to skip a gold grind if you're simply looking to score the green needed for your next pan upgrade.

Gold is primarily found in the Rubble Creek Sands zone at the very start of the game, specifically in the sands closest to the spawn town. Cross the creek, and you'll lower your chances of finding Gold by quite a bit simply because of the additional gems and metals added to the later loot pools.

If you're trying to complete early quests that often ask for a lot of Gold, you're better off sticking close to the spawn point. Use Capacity enchants to speed things up and consider avoiding 'Perfect' strikes with your shovel.

How do you get 3KG and 5KG Gold in Prospecting for the Vagrant?

Trying to complete the Vagrant's quests for some easy XP? The mysterious man in the second town asks for a donation of increasingly larger chunks of Gold.

To speed things up, use potions and enchants with Size Boost effects to increase the odds of panning bigger nuggets of the good stuff.

If you can afford it, the Magnetic Pan boosts weight by 25 percent, massively increasing your chances of finding heavier Gold nuggets.

Temporary world events, like the Meteor weather effect, can make finding 3KG and 5KG Gold in Prospecting much easier. Just dig in the circles as they appear and your yield will increase in size.

Finding large chunks of Gold can take a while, so be sure to give the Vagrant only chunks of the size that he requests. Giving him a 5KG Gold nugget when he asks for a 3KG will likely mean panning for a very long time to find the 5KG slab he asks for after that. Patience is key.
