The explorer who was searching for gold in present-day southeastern US was Hernando de Soto. He was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who led the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States. De Soto and his crew arrived in Florida in 1539 and began an exploration of the Southeast eventually reaching as far as the Mississippi River. As they traveled they looked for gold which was the primary goal of their expedition.

By the end of their journey de Soto and his men had traveled through six present-day US states including Georgia Alabama Tennessee Mississippi Arkansas and Louisiana.
