There are a lot of different resources that players can find in Dredge, including Refined Metal which is arguably one of the most important ones to get.
Refined Metal has a lot of uses in the game and it is particularly useful in fully upgrading your hull. This will give you significantly more storage than you can otherwise have. This is one of the many reasons why this resource is important to have.
Players can find a variety of resources through different methods, such as fishing, dredging, or buying from traders. Refined Metal in particular can be found in several locations but is much more difficult to find than other resources.
The Traveling Merchant
If you are looking for this particular resource for the various upgrades that use it, then one way you can get some is by purchasing it from The Traveling Merchant. This method is arguably the best and most consistent way to get this resource in Dredge, according to Screen Rant.

The Traveling Merchant, including Twisted Strand and Devil's Spine, among others. While this is the easiest way to get the resource, it is relatively expensive because you spend $500 every time.
Spending this amount of money can make it harder for players to fulfill the requirements they need. It also reduces your savings that could otherwise be used on necessary upgrades and parts. Another noteworthy thing about this method is that you can only buy one piece of Refined Metal before the Traveling Merchant has to restock.
Gathering Refined Metal
If you want to save money for other things, then another way to get Refined Metal is by finding it across the game's world. All of the archipelagos have at least one area that contains this particular resource.
You should also keep in mind that a lot of these areas will have debris blocking the way, giving you another thing to worry about. This necessitates the use of Packed Explosives that can be bought in Gale Cliff's Ingfell, Gameranx said.
Gale Cliffs is arguably the best place to find Refined Metal as you can sail into the open area and find the waterfall. Going through it brings you to a chest with Refined Materials and other useful items.
An alternative spot is in the Stellar Basin on the west of the western island's southern tip. You can find here a floating treasure chest that contains Refined Metal. Keep in mind that the chest is submerged, which makes it hard to spot, according to Polygon.
