Gold has been known and used by humans for thousands of years, with evidence of gold artifacts dating back to around 4000 BC in ancient civilizations such as those in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The discovery of gold in its natural state likely occurred even earlier, as humans have been drawn to its shiny appearance and malleability. Thus, gold has been known to humanity for approximately 6,000 years.

Forever. I have seen gold pieces that were made in the 2 century in the Hermitage museum in Russia.
The "375" hallmark, indicating that the gold is 9 karats (which is 37.5% gold content), was first used in the UK in the 19th century. The practice of stamping gold with purity marks became more standardized with the establishment of the Gold Standards Act of 1887. However, similar purity markings have been used in various forms for gold items in different regions long before this formalization.

It was about a year between the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill and the influx of gold miners to California. Documents written by a person who found the gold are dated in 1848. The gold rush to California did not start until 1849.

Gold was discovered in Australia as early as 1823, but discoveries were kept secret for a number of reasons. First, there was the fear of sparking off unrest among the convicts. There was concern that, if the convicts heard about these discoveries, they would be more likely to attempt escape, and find their way to the goldfields to either look for gold, or to become bushrangers. This is why the first unofficial discovery of gold by Surveyor James McBrien at the Fish River near Bathurst, NSW in 1823, was kept quiet. When Reverend WB Clark found gold near Lithgow in 1941, he was requested by Governor Gipps to keep quiet about it. Gipps is reported to have said, "Put it away, Mr Clarke, or we will all have our throats cut!" The discoveries were often made on good land. Settlers did not want a sudden influx of prospectors trooping over their properties, ruining good pastureland for their livestock, or damaging crops. They certainly did not want to risk the lawlessness that would inevitably follow. Not did they want their workers leaving in droves to find gold. Prior to 1851, any gold discoveries automatically belonged to the government. There was no motivation for individuals to go out and actively seek gold, and certainly no motivation for them to make these discoveries public.
Gold was discovered so long ago that nobody knows who or when it was found.John Cabot did not discover gold, in fact I do not think any individual could be credited with the discovery of gold. Ancient civilizations used gold and that was waaaaay before Cabot.
