the people who found the gold
John Marshall in 1848 discovered gold at Sutter's mill in Coloma. This began the gold rush.
Gold was found in the U.S. shortly after the European colonists settled here. The problem was that it was not found in concentrations that created a "gold rush" in the colonies. If it had, you'd have heard about it. It was in 1828-9 that the Georgia gold rush kicked off. It preceded the California gold rush by 20 years, and the Klondike gold rush didn't begin until 1896. Gold can be found in all 50 states, but in only a handful is the precious metal found in concentrations that make it economical to recover.
