Traps on the goldfields were deceptive schemes or tactics used by some miners and opportunists to exploit unsuspecting prospectors. These could include false claims about gold-rich areas, fake assays, or maliciously rigged equipment designed to mislead others into investing time and money. As competition for gold intensified, such traps became a means for some to gain an advantage over rivals, often leading to financial loss and disillusionment for the victims. Ultimately, these practices contributed to the tumultuous and often unscrupulous environment of gold rushes.
