The first gold in Victoria was found in Clunes on 11 June 1851, by James Esmond. However, on 9 August 1851, Victoria's goldrush began tentatively when gold was found at Sovereign Hill near Ballarat, in the same month Victoria gained its independence from the NSW colony. While the Ballarat goldfields were rich and promising, the real goldrush began when gold was discovered at Mt Alexander, 60km northeast of Ballarat, and close to the town of Bendigo, a few months later.
Peter Curran Dunlevey found gold in 1858 at Horsefly, BC. Billy Barker struck the main vein at what is now Barkerville on Williams Creek in 1863. At the peak almost a million dollars of gold mined over in 2 months (1865 dollars, about $22 million in 2008 dollar value).
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.
