I think it was California well during the 1800 in goldmines. Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont could be candidates, but the quantities were very small and no significant mining was done. (Gold, as it turns out, can be found in most all of the fifty stated, but, again, the concentrations are not significant.) The Georgia gold rush in 1829 preceded the California gold rush by almost 20 years.
Ruthenium was discovered by Karl Ernst Klaus in 1844.
I know I'm like 10 years late but the first country to be discovered is believed to be san Marino, which is also one of the worlds smallest country.
The discovery of Carbon is prehistoric. You can find it in campfires.
The first writings describing Platinum were in 1557 by Italian Julius Caesar Scaliger (not 1735 as listed in many places online). The new metal was further observed during an expedition of New Grenada (now known as Colombia) by Antonio de Ulloa and Don Jorge Juan y Santacilia in 1735. Their writings related to this expedition refer to the new metal as Platinum.
Platinum is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Pt and an atomic number of 78. Its name is derived from the Spanish term platina del Pinto, which is literally translated into "little silver of the Pinto River." It is a dense, malleable, ductile, precious, gray-white transition metal. Platinum is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust and has an average abundance of approximately 0.005 mg/kg. It occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits, mostly in South Africa, which accounts for 80% of the world production. Some counterfeiters in the late 1500's made coins in South America from platinum that resembled silver coins (at the time platinum was unknown and not valued) The authorities confiscated the coins, set them on a ship out to sea in the Pacific and scuttled the ship. It sank in an unknown location. Today that trove of platinum would be very valuable.
Platinum was discovered by South American peoples who produced artifacts of a white gold-platinum alloy.

William Wollaston discovered in 1803 palladium in a platinum ore from South America.
The chemical symbol of platinum is Pt. This element has an atomic weight of 78 and was discovered in 1735.
It was discovered in a cave, it was first thought to be sliver or a different type of sliver until it was tested and was called platinum. Platinum is now known to be found in Alaska, South Africa, Congo, Russia and some parts of Canda.
