Gold Buyers in Queenstown - We Buy All Types of Gold

Queenstown has been a hotbed for gold buying and selling since the early days. Rewind time back to the mid to late 19th century and thousands of prospectors were in the area, searching for gold. In fact, miners were brought in from other countries to search for the valuable metal.

Queenstown's Gold Rush

Queenstown's population soared upwards of 400% from 1860 to 1864. New miners and prospectors continued to arrive even though there was a widespread gold strike in 1862. In the fall of that year, Harry Redfern and Thomas Arthur went on an expedition along the Shotover River's banks. The pair found an abundance of gold. In fact, their finding is now referred to as the Arthur's Point strike. It spurred the largest gold rush in Otago history. All in all, the area's miner population reached its peak in the winter of 1864, topping out at a total of 18,000. About 5,000 of these miners were Chinese. These men were brought in to work along the Wakatipu Basin. By the time 1900 rolled around, much of the area's gold was gone. Many of the miners moved on to new sites. However, Queenstown is still one of New Zealand's top vacation destinations.
