It is estimated that there are about 197,576 metric tons of gold that has been mined and is above ground, with the total amount of gold mined throughout history being around 190,000 metric tons.

No, gold does not reform once it has been mined out of the ground. Once gold has been extracted from the earth, it retains its physical and chemical properties. It can be melted, reshaped, and reused, but it does not regenerate or reform on its own.
Gold miners never found a set amount a day. The amounts changed based on location, weather, and how much had been mined prior.
