Farming Tips and Tricks
Junk items that contain gold are affected by the per-server pickup history system. This means once you pick them up, they won’t respawn on that server until it resets. If you’re not familiar with how this system works, you can refer to the detailed guide linked [here].
Unfortunately, no perk cards or magazines increase the yield of gold. It is a one-for-one farm, and there's no way to boost the amount you receive from junk items containing gold.
It’s important to avoid using explosive weapons when farming gold scrap, as they can cause junk items to move or become difficult to find. If you lose track of an item, fast travel to a nearby location—any adjacent map icon will do—and then return. This will usually reset the cell and place the junk items back in their original spawn positions.
In cases where a junk item is glitched, and you can’t get close enough to interact with it, you can use explosives or grenades to physically move it. This can help reposition the item so that it becomes accessible.
Note that Super Duper does not apply when converting scrap into bulk. The outcome is always one-to-one, and you will not receive any bonus materials.
To help locate junk that contains components like gold, use the “Tag for Search” feature in your Pip-Boy.
To do this, open your Pip-Boy and navigate to the "Item" tab, then go to "Junk."
From there, access the component view.
On Xbox, press the Right Bumper (RB); on PlayStation, press the right joystick (R3); and on PC, press the “C” key.
This will switch to the component breakdown view of your junk inventory.
Scroll through the list until you find the component you're farming—such as gold—and press the appropriate button (typically “A” or your platform’s equivalent) to tag it for search. This will cause a magnifying glass icon to appear next to relevant items in the world, making them easier to identify and collect.
If the component you’re searching for doesn’t appear in your component list, it means you haven’t yet collected a piece of junk that contains it. Find and pick up at least one item with the desired component, and then repeat the steps above to tag it.

Gold Ore
Gold Ore - 10
Twin Lakes
External
10 spawns
Note: I was only able to pick up 3 pieces.
From the spawn-in location, face south and run forward.
Jump over the logs and run through the water.
Stay in the water and follow the river south (as much as possible — the river winds a bit, so just keep following it until you reach a small lake).
Where the river meets the second lake, you should now be facing west.
Walk forward a few steps into the lake and face south again.
From here, keep walking in the water and follow the lake bank in a generally southern direction.
You’ll reach a split in the riverbank — keep left and follow the river down a few steps. You will see the skeleton half-buried in the riverbank.
This is a scene, so the ore isn’t its normal size. As you can see in the photo above, the pieces are very small and scattered across the ground.
