There were several in the US:

  • The North Carolina gold rush began around 1802 in Cabarrus County, northeast of Charlotte. This was the first major gold rush in the US.
  • The Georgia gold rush began in 1828 and continued into the 1840's, concentrating in what is now Lumpkin County.
  • The CA gold rush began in 1848 when John Marshall found gold in the traces at Sutter's saw mill in Coloma.
  • The Black Hills gold rush began in 1874 and continued through 1877 in the Black Hills area of South Dakota.
  • The Klondike gold rush (although Alaska was not a state at the time, it was US territory) was from 1896-1899.
  • The "Pikes Peak" gold rush began in 1858 (although prospectors were called "Fifty-Niners") in the mountains around Denver, Colorado and continued until deposits were found nearer to the actual Pikes Peak.
  • The Cripple Creek gold rush began in 1893 near the base of Pikes Peak and was one of the last major gold rushes in the lower 48.

Is there more gold in the gold rush?

Much more gold has been found in recent years than was found in the Gold rush of 1849. Mostly because of modern mining methods not available to the miners in 1849 (such as heap leaching.) I read in a mining magazine that more Gold was found in 1994 than any year in this country's history.
