It was the stampeders
You can typically find nuggets in rivers or streams where gold can be naturally deposited. Look for areas with slow-moving water or gravel bars where gold particles can settle. Using a gold pan or sluice box can help you sift through sediment to find nuggets.
You find it where the 2 rivers meet on the way right side but you need the gold pan and gold map to find it first. GOOD LUCK!
It depends on what time of the gold rush. In the Early Gold rush, not many people were settled there so there were mounds of gold everywhere and were very easy to spot. Later in the gold rush, the news of gold spread quickly and more and more people migrate to the west to claim their riches. As more people came mining for gold the harder it became to find gold and not much were left tofind. People mostly found little nuggets.
Gold found on the surface is called alluvial gold.
The first discovery of gold nuggets in the United States is attributed to James W. Marshall in January 1848. He found gold while working at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California, which sparked the California Gold Rush. This discovery marked a significant moment in American history, leading to a massive influx of prospectors and settlers to the region in search of fortune.
