After the easily gathered gold was depleted, people likely turned to more challenging or risky methods to extract gold such as deep mining or exploring new areas. This could have led to increased competition, conflicts over remaining gold deposits, and possibly environmental degradation as more resources were needed to extract smaller amounts of gold. This shift may have also prompted technological advancements in mining practices.
