In 1799, a 12 year old-boy sees an interesting looking rock on his family's farm and picks it up, he decides to use it as a doorstop. 3 years later the boy's father seeks out a jeweler to have the rock examined, the jeweler is astounded to see what he immediately knows is a huge gold nugget. This happens not in California but in North Carolina, and it ignited America's first true gold rush.

Thirty years later, in 1829, the Georgia Gold Rush in the southern Appalachians occurred. It was followed by the California Gold Rush of 1848–55 in the Sierra Nevada, which captured the popular imagination.
