Although Lewis and Clark were instructed to look for "mineral productions of every kind, but more particularly metals, limestone, pit coal & saltpetre, salines & mineral waters", they sadly did not find any gold or any other types of precious metals.

No, Lewis and Clark did not find any gold during their expedition to the Pacific Northwest from 1804 to 1806. Their primary goal was to explore and chart the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory for the United States.
