Early Gold?

[Bastian_5]

Early in the game you have to get gold to make casts to make iron tools, but to mine gold, you need iron tools... so how do you get enough gold to make at least a pickaxe head? Is there a non-super rare mineral that can be mined by deep iron pick, or something more common than deep iron that can mine gold, or are there stashes somewhere that are near any of the teleporter things (I have most of them, and most people should since they are easy to get if you have a longsword to boost everywhere)
