Indians are traveling to Kashmir and digging roads in hopes of finding gold. This Indian state led rumour is deliberately being spread.

The history knows the California gold rush, the Klondike Gold rush, and soon enough - the WallStreetSilver Global silver rush.
Just imagine how awesome it would be to tell our grandkids the stories of the Great Silver rush...one day when we grow old. We are the rebellion that is starting the rush. It is going to escalate so much and so quick after the third of May. We live in such an awesome time!
This project is a combo of Elmwood, brass nuggets (ie gold nuggets) and resin. The idea here was to create a river of “gold nuggets”, something I think some of the gold rush folks thought they would find as they moved to California and Akaska…. "rivers of gold". Donated to Operation Underground RR.
HODL The line AMPire. Let the nervous nellies sell out and get out of the the way for the future bull run. This token works if the cbdc wins or defi wins. The real winners of the California gold rush were the ones selling supplies. We are the platform. Have a great day and fill your bags.

There's a common saying that "during a gold rush, sell shovels." What would a "shovel seller" have looked like in the California Gold Rush, and how rich would they have gotten?

Set in the California Gold Rush - read it in the 90’s!
The things I remember about this book:
-
One blonde (white) woman traveled to San Francisco during the gold rush to look for a long lost half Chinese half sister
-
The father is dead (gone? disappeared?)
-
The father was a photographer, the blonde daughter has taken over the business and takes portraits and pictures to document the gold rush
-
The Chinese sister was (born in?) a Chinese brothel, she is a virgin and her virginity is for sale
-
Lots of references to opium dens, foot binding and jade gardens (euphemism for vagina)
-
White sister meets a guy and convinces him to help search for Chinese little sister
Any of this ringing a bell? I tried asking on SBTB a while back, but I don’t think it even made it on the blog!

[Gold Rush] Were miners in the California gold fields eating fresh or preserved oysters?
I'm reading the Dame Shirley letters, and many times she mentions having oyster dinners, oyster soup, and so on. She also mentions how difficult and expensive it was to bring supplies up to Rich Bar. Would these have been tinned oysters, or would the restaurants have made an especial effort to bring fresh oysters up from the bay area?
