Panning for Gold

Early gold prospectors could draw an ounce of gold out of the river in one day. As the rivers became crowded with prospectors, you could spend the entire day bent over, shoveling gravel, and maybe yield a dollar’s worth of gold.

Interesting Facts:

• Over 2 billion dollars in gold was mined during the 10 years of the Sacramento gold rush.
