Question

When was the first gold mine discovered? And where?

Answer 1

It is impossible to know the exact date that humans first began to mine gold, but some of the oldest known gold artifacts were found in the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria. The graves of the necropolis were built between 4700 and 4200 BC, indicating that gold mining could be at least 7000 years old.

Answer 2

So the gold was founded by Gold James Marshall at Sutters Mill, property of the John Sutter which is in present-day Coloma. Hope it helps
