During the California Gold Rush, which began in 1848, the most gold was found by individuals like James W. Marshall, who discovered gold at Sutter's Mill. However, the most prominent gold seeker credited with significant finds was John Sutter, whose mill site attracted thousands of prospectors. Ultimately, it's challenging to pinpoint a single person who found the most gold, as many miners struck it rich, but the overall influx of gold significantly enriched the state and contributed to its economic growth.

When was gold found in the US?

Gold was found in the U.S. shortly after the European colonists settled here. The problem was that it was not found in concentrations that created a "gold rush" in the colonies. If it had, you'd have heard about it. It was in 1828-9 that the Georgia gold rush kicked off. It preceded the California gold rush by 20 years, and the Klondike gold rush didn't begin until 1896. Gold can be found in all 50 states, but in only a handful is the precious metal found in concentrations that make it economical to recover.
