There are many theories as to the origin of finding a pot gold at the end of a rainbow. Below are a few theories from the Answers community:
Answer:
I believe this is a metaphor meaning after all the life you live, and after everything you have went through, rewards become apparent after work, and though they may seem to be impossible to reach, they are there if only you believe they are, such as growing old. You may find this as a burden, a burden at the end of a long journey, but if you just believe in the good that growing old has brought you, you see the immense knowledge you have gained, the family that surrounds you, the impacts you have made on the world. This is what I feel the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow means, so keep looking forward, and soon you are sure to find your pot of gold.
Answer:
You can reach the end of a rainbow! I did by driving through the end of a huge rainbow on the freeway. I think the origin of the of the "pot of gold" is this: on reaching the spot, we were enveloped in an overwhelming gold-hued "aura". It was very soft and beautiful and spectacular and felt like a place you never wanted to leave. Time seemed to be suspended in the awe of the moment. Why gold and not any of the colours of the spectrum? Don't know; it's all about how our eyes and brains interpret the waves of light. But know this: if you ever get to experience this rare event you will never forget it!
Answer:
I heard the pot of gold is a pot of spuds and it came around during the famine in Ireland. Parents would tell there children when ever a rainbow occurs that a pot of spuds is waiting for them at the end of the rainbow, (and back then a pot of spuds wood be as vaulable as a pot of gold) so when a rainbow appeared they children would go look for the pot of spuds and get lost when it goes and now the parents have less to feed.
