Hey! :)

just building my shop and I’ve managed to get all the wood needed but iron nuggets seem to be really slow ! I’ve check my inland the last few days and I went to a another place using miles but still only found 10 !

any easy way to farm them? :)

thanks
 
Just bang as many rocks as possible. Try digging two holes behind you when you bang rocks as well so you can hit it the full eight times! If you can go to islands, bang on all of those rocks too with the two or three holes behind you, it's all random on whether it shoots out stones, clay, iron, or even sometimes gold nuggets. If you need an extra stack of 30, I have more than plenty and would be more than glad to help you out
 
Oooo I’ve been eating fruit and just smashing the things open in one go! 🙈
ahhh nooo if you need as much iron as possible, don't eat any fruit and you can bang on the rocks with a shovel or an ax to get a maximum of eight different resources haha

I did the same thing when the game first came out. I spent so many hours and grinding for Nook Miles tickets so I could find rocks on the island trips only to often walk away with either zero or 1 iron nugget.

I felt pretty silly when I realized the rocks didn't always break in the game (which I even sillier didn't question the logic of as this was never a thing in past Animal Crossing games).

But yeah, you just need to hit some rocks and if you've already accidentally smashed all of them on your island they will replenish one day at a time or you could just visit islands via the Nook Miles + tickets and find nuggets there through the rocks.
 
I made the same mistake breaking the rocks at first. Keep an eye out for balloons. I think the game knows when you made that mistake and sends you some extra iron lol
