The gold rush began at Sutter's Mill in Colima, CA. John Marshall discovered gold in the traces of the mill in 1848. Once the gold was discovered the rush was on. A newspaper headline stated "Eureka, Gold Found". The average pay was about 10.00 a month, but a man could make 50.00 a day if he found gold. Within months over 10,000 a day were coming into the area any way they could. Sutter lost in the gold rush. He lost his fortune , mill, and ended up a broke unhappy man. By 1850 CA became a state on Sept. 9, 1850.

There have been more than one gold rush in the United States....but the first one was in Georgia starting in 1828 when Benjamin Parks was credited with being the first to discover gold in Georgia. The Dahlonega and Charlotte branch mints were a result of this gold rush. The largest and most famous gold rush in the U.S. was the California gold rush that started in 1848. When news of the gold reached the east, a flood of miners headed west in 1849 who became known as the 49'ers. The opening of the San Francisco mint in 1854 was a result of this gold rush. Other famous U.S. gold rushes occurred later in Colorado and Alaska.
