Gold Tool
Gold tools (pickaxes and spades) are like their non-gold counterparts, but have a unique feature -- they can spawn items while being used.
Item Spawn Frequency Chart
The chart below is a collection of data to record the frequency a particular item spawns when using a gold tool. When an item is received, the results are recorded and updated below. To know the frequency percentage, divide the item quantity by the total.

Notes
A gold pick may produce bonuses when used on blocks other than raw stone. Limestone has produced oil. Marble has produced red marble.
A gold spade may produce bonuses when used on sand, although much more rarely. It has been verified to have at least produced blocks of glass, and could presumably produce a prickly pear.
Either tool may produce bonuses when used on ore blocks in addition to the ore, such as clay or flint in dirt or coal in stone. They type of bonus seems to depend on the base block.
