Gold panning used to be a means of getting rich in the eyes of many adventurers, and there have been several gold panning waves in history.

Origin:

At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States launched the westward movement to expand to the west, and groups of adventurers pushed to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. After the news of the discovery of gold mines in California was confirmed, it triggered another wave of immigration. People leave their jobs at hand and flock to San Francisco, trying to realize their dream of gold rush.

Far-reaching influence:

Since 1854, the gold rush in California has shown a cooling trend, and the output value of gold has dropped to 60 million dollars, and then to 55 million dollars in the following year. But the whole gold mining industry began to develop in depth and breadth, covering the whole western region. Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and other places have discovered and established large and small gold mining areas, which made the new gold mining climax rise again around 1859 and lasted until the end of 1970s. The gold rush not only promoted the westward movement, but also effectively promoted the construction and development of the western United States.
