How to find iron ore in Animal Crossing
Smashing rocks, but don't eat fruit beforehand! Eating fruit makes you super strong, and if you hit a rock while you're all hulked out, you'll smash it to pieces, losing out on the day's iron ore. So, remember: fruit is a no-go when you're on the hunt for iron.

Hitting rocks! Seriously, grab your shovel or axe and start whacking those rocks scattered around your island. Each day, you can hit each rock multiple times, but there's a trick to it. If you dig two holes behind you before you start hitting the rock, you won't get knocked back and can hit the rock up to 8 times for maximum goodies. Iron ore, here we come!
Mystery islands are your best friend for iron ore. Use a Nook Miles ticket to fly off to a new island and you'll usually find several rocks to hit for resources. I've stocked up on tons of iron this way, especially when I'm preparing for a big project or trying to build something new.
Buy it. If you're really stuck, sometimes other players will sell iron ore on various Animal Crossing forums or trading sites. It might cost you some bells, but it's an option if you're in a hurry.
