The California Gold RushTake Back In1849
Lets take you back in 1849 were the gold rush was happening. 49ers were mining in 1849. Fighting over gold was the main praouraty
Gold one of the most vouleble things that california had in the past and now. Most of all in 1849. People will mine gold and well how did they mine?
People who was simple would just get a pickaxe and started mining.It would be much harder when you are going down in to the ground
A Helping Hand Long toms are for people who have a company or have brought friends to there they would use the long tom. It is used to get water from the river and pour it down and the helpers will find the gold while it was going down the long tom.
The best to find find gold without doing anything is by wash pans. All you have to do is go to a river and and got the pan. Next fill it with water then swave it around a little bit then you find gold just like that.
Other people who wanted to to go to California they will go on a boat like that.Large sail boats sailed to california on a boat like that. All of there pickaxes were put on that boat. Even pans were astored on top of that boat.
