Gold is one of the most important early game resources in Don't Starve Together (and indeed in all Don't Starve games) as it's needed to make the all-important science machine and alchemy engine.
This is a short video guide on how and where to find gold in Don't Starve Together. Some of these can also be applied to the single player Don't Starve/Don't Starve: Reign of Giants DLC.
Note: you can also fish for eels from pools in the wilds ponds (in caves) to give to pig king, who'll give you 5 gold per eel, but this is an early game guide and depending on world generation, it can potentially take a long time to find them, so I've left it out of this video. :3
