Answer 2

Gold has been found in nearly every US state at some point in time, however only in a few has the amount been enough to trigger a gold rush. Some of these states are:

• Alaska
• California
• Nevada (this turned into a silver rush about a year later)
• Montana
• South Dakota
• Colorado
• North Carolina (first US gold rush)
• Georgia
• Washington
• Minnesota
• etc.

During any gold rush almost all the gold found is placer gold, in or near rivers and streams. This is simply because placer gold is the easiest to extract and requires only simple easy to pack inexpensive tools, many of which can be improvised or quickly built on site by unskilled prospectors; like pans, sluices, rockers, etc. Placer gold is erosion redeposited gold.

Only near the end of the rush and after it is over does lode gold begin to be mined from underground deposits. Lode gold is the original deposit of gold in its native, usually igneous, rock. Lode mining is expensive, hazardous, etc.
