They searched for it. Some found it. some paid for it and yet others stole it from those lucky enough to have found some. Nowadays we are not likely to find any the way they did at that time, but still. It is a possible possibility.

Modern sovereigns unless in proof condition are generally only worth bullion. At the moment a full sovereign is worth about $400 US/CAD in gold.
In 1860, one British sovereign was worth approximately £1, which was equivalent to 20 shillings or 240 pence. The sovereign itself was a gold coin containing approximately 0.2354 troy ounces of gold. The value of the sovereign fluctuated slightly over time due to changes in the gold market, but it generally maintained this value during that period.
The value of an Australian gold sovereign depends on its gold content and current market gold prices. Typically, a gold sovereign contains approximately 7.98 grams of gold. As of late 2023, the value can range from around AUD 500 to AUD 800 or more, depending on the gold market fluctuations and the coin's condition and rarity. For the most accurate valuation, it's best to check current gold prices and consult a numismatic expert.

'The Red-Headed League' probably took place in 1890, and the gold sovereign was equivalent to 1 British pound at that time, which, in turn, was worth about $4 US. Inflation would make the sovereign's buying power about $100 in today's money.
A Sovereign has a face value of One Pound GBP, but since they are made from 22 carat gold, you could expect to pay not less than £125 GBP for a Sovereign in mint condition, and very possibly much more depending on the coin.
Gold is typically found underground in veins or nuggets in areas known for their geological gold deposits, such as in rivers, streams, and mountains. To dig for gold, it is best to research and seek permissions from private landowners or use designated mining areas open to the public to avoid trespassing or breaking the law. Joining a local prospecting club or contacting a mining association may also provide guidance on where and how to legally dig for gold.
The value of a sovereign coin, which contains approximately 7.32 grams of gold, fluctuates based on current gold prices. As of recent market trends, the price of gold can range around $1,800 to $2,000 per ounce, meaning a sovereign could be valued between $400 to $450 in terms of its gold content alone. However, collectible or numismatic value can further influence its overall worth. Always check the latest market data for the most accurate valuation.
The face value of a Sovereign is One Pound (GBP). Since all British Sovereign coinage is made from 22 carat gold, the actual value is very much higher. Athe very least, they are worth the bullion value of gold.
