The amount of gold a California gold miner can extract in a day varies significantly based on several factors, including the mining method, location, and experience of the miner. On average, a recreational miner might find a few grams to an ounce of gold in a day, while more experienced miners using advanced techniques could potentially extract several ounces. However, in many cases, miners may not find any gold at all, as it can be a challenging and unpredictable endeavor.
If you were lucky you made about $16 in gold per day.

The Gold Rush was mostly focused on two areas of California: the Northern California gold fields and the Sierra Nevada gold fields. It started when gold was discovered at Sutter's mill in Coloma - which lies on the edge of what became the Sierra Nevada gold fields. The Sierra Nevada gold fields stretched from several miles north of Feather River to several miles south of Mariposa, CA. A smaller portion of the gold seekers concentrated in the Northern Califonia gold fields which lay in the present-day Siskiyou, Shasta and Trinity Counties. Gold was also discovered in Southern California but on a much smaller scale. The first discovery of gold in the mountains north of present-day Los Angeles had been in 1842, six years before the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. However these deposits and later discoveries in Southern California mountains, attracted little notice and were not really part of the gold rush.
