Tundra Rob:Gold was discovered in California in 1848 by James Marshall, a worker at Sutter's Mill resulting in the California gold rush that lasted until 1855. One newspaper headline announced it as "The Discovery of Inexhaustible Gold Mines in California". This was inaccurate as the gold found was placer gold found in river sediment, not from a mine. Furthermore the supply was far from "inexhaustible" as only a small fraction of the 300,000 people who came seeking gold ever found anything of worth.
