Prospectors found gold by panning in rivers and streams, using metal detectors, or following geological clues like quartz veins. They also looked for areas where gold had been found before, such as old mining sites or geological formations known to contain gold. Additionally, prospectors utilized their knowledge of geology and mineralogy to identify potential gold-rich areas.

Usually pick and pan, shovel, hand made sluice and rocker boxes. Back then they went as far as to divert a gold bearing river so they could work the gold bearing gravels. Mostly back then they searched the stream-beds and river-beds(as they do now) to find gold and then prospected the river banks to try and find the source for the gold that they found.
