An enormous amount of gold came out of California from the late 1840’s through the 1870’s. Enormous amounts of gold again came out Alaska in the 1880’s-1910. However this graph shows only that gold prices were relatively high during these periods.
So I’m not so sure an apples to apples comparison quite works.
That phrase “enormous amount” is a bit misleading. If you had all of the gold in all of the world in all of time that has been found..... you could fill about two olympic size swimming pools with it. That’s it.
