Because, salt was needed to flavor food, preserve meat, used for medical purposes, and to keep the body healthy. But in West Africa, salt was a rare. So, West Africans traded their gold for salt. (Salt was so valuable, it was worth its weight in gold. 1 pound of salt = 1 pound of gold.)
Shoot! I entered pretty much this very question on Google to look for an article on it. My wold view is "Spanish gold and silver ransacked from the Americas did cause prices to rise in Europe with no real growth". My understanding is that it ultimately ruined the Spanish economy. The reason is that gold is otherwise a useless metal that when America's share got dumped on Europe, it created a monetary shock that ruined gold's value as money temporarily. Temporarily, Spain got to do nothing productive for a living, sort of speak, while the rest of Europe got duped into serving Spain for free/stolen American gold. Gold is money only in its property of fairly keeping track of economic credits given that no one is able to counterfeit it or find it easily without escaping productive work. Anyways, I'm looking for the authoritive answer because I'm tired of people deifying gold as money -- the real wealth is in the capital which money is a representation of. Shoot!

They didn't have a reason NOT to think there was gold. They wanted riches so they looked for gold and silver. The legend of cities of gold had existed for a thousand years and they didn't know geology so there was no reason to think there wasn't gold.
