A gold rush is a period of feverish migration of workers into the area of a dramatic discovery of commercial quantities of gold. In the history of the United States and Canada, several gold rushes took place throughout the 19th century, first in the Appalachians, and later in the Sierra Nevada, the Fraser Canyon, the Cariboo district and other parts of British Columbia, and the Rocky Mountains. Gold rushes helped spur permanent population of new regions and define a significant part of the culture of the North American frontier. Similar gold rushes took place during the 19th century in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa\n\nGold rushes were typically marked by a general buoyant feeling of a "free for all" in income mobility, in which any single individual might become abundantly wealthy almost instantly. The significance of gold rushes in history have given a longer life to the term, and it is now applied generally to capitalism to denote any economic activity in the participants aspire to race each other in common pursuit of a new and apparently highly lucrative market, often precipitated by an advance in technology.

Fred,\nCheck out this website. I live in rural Nevada where over half the United States gold is mined so I use this site quite a bit.  Here's the link\nhttp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mapdata/

Gold is limited in this country.  So the price is control.   They have got this all down to a science if the price goes down for gold they import or mine less of it.   So I believe the price of gold will reach a limited range and go up and down between that.   No, constant drop or constant gain.

Actually, I found out that it was later.  You learn something new everyday.\n\n "In 1975 all restrictions on the right of American citizens to own gold were abolished."

Gold is rising because there are a shortage of other attractive investments.  Also investors are concerned about the possibility of the dollar weakening.  First stocks were hot, then it was real estate, now it seems that gold and silver are "the next big thing".

I know 3 ways and they are all difficult and dangerous. The chemicals required are hazardous  and can be lethal. If you happen to find the information on how to do it, I strongly urge you to not. The small amount of gold you will retrieve could come at a VERY high price !!! If you want to prospect for gold (safe and fun) go to www.goldprospectors.org, any information you want about prospecting can be found there.

Most states.\n\nFor some top forecasts on gold’s direction, visit the site below:\n\nI like the real GOLD nuggets. \n\nAs most gold is mined as very fine dust and tiny nuggets, the larger (over 1oz) nuggets are very rare! Actually they are as rare as large diamonds!\n\nI would suggest you look into large nuggets!\n\nTo see the 'live' spot NY gold price and some museum size gold nuggets I suggest you visit a great site I found a few months ago. I purchase a few nuggets from them just about a month ago, and not only are they beautiful to look at but in just the last few weeks they have really moved up in value!\n\nI'm actually saving to purchase others!\n\nThe site is:\n http://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us\n\nhttp://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us/australia-gold-nuggets.htm\n\nhttp://www.california-gold-rush-miner.us/crystalline-gold-miner.htm\nhttp://california-gold-nuggets-miner.blogspot.com\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com/brokerforyou\nhttp://www.san-diego-dentist.us\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/san-diego-medical-research-study.htm\nhttp://www.lasik-surgery-san-diego.info/lasik-eye-surgery-san-diego.htm\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/adsense.htm

The gold rush in Victoria and New South Wales opened the way for a lot of people to know about this land. People from overseas came to find gold, the lure of getting rich, the adventure.

There are many.  Study the past few years.  Gold has been a great investment over the past year, but now it is going  down.  So buy something low and sell it high.  I think you should put some money into an online brokerage and buy a few stocks.   Right now world markets are down from their highs because interest rates have been going up in the USA.

Gold has actually had a really good run recently.  Historically speaking gold has returned about the rate of inflation over the last 40 years.  So gold will do well, relatively speaking, in times of inflation.  Speculators will buy gold if they think inflation is coming and drive up the price.  So it's sensitive to speculation, as all commodities are.  Long term equities have proven to be a much better purchase.\n\nTo learn more about investing and finance you can listen to my podcast, the #1 rated in the world for personal finance.

In 1851 Hargraves discovered gold in a water hole near Bathurst.\nThis discovery marked the beginning of the Australian gold rushes and a radical change in the economic and social fabric of the nation.\nHargraves could never have dreamt how significant his discovery would be. New South Wales yielded 26.4 tonnes (850,000 ounces) of gold in 1852. This was a mere drop in the ocean compared to the yield from neighbouring Victoria when they joined the rush for gold. \n\nThe Victorian authorities, eager to prevent its population from joining the gold frenzy in NSW, offered a reward of £200 for any gold found within 200 miles of Melbourne. In 1851, six months after the New South Wales find, gold was discovered at Ballarat, and a short time later at Bendigo Creek. \n In 1852 alone, 370,000 immigrants arrived in Australia and the economy of the nation boomed. \n\nThe 'rush' was well and truly on. Victoria contributed more than one third of the world's gold output in the 1850s and in just two years the State's population had grown from 77,000 to 540,000! \n\nThe number of new arrivals to Australia was greater than the number of convicts who had landed here in the previous seventy years. The total population trebled from 430,000 in 1851 to 1.7 million in 1871.\n\nThe gold bullion that was shipped to London each year brought a huge flow of imports. The goldfield towns also sparked a huge boost in business investment and stimulated the market for local produce. The economy was expanding and thriving.
