Actually, the first
reported discovery of gold in California wasn't at Sutter's Mill.
Gold was first discovered in southern California, but it was a small placer deposit and was quickly panned out. It simply didn't last long enough to cause a gold rush.

I'm thinking more of placer deposits in Diamond county and over at Redding.
No doubt the Spanish looked wherever they could in Southern CA but they never really got a grasp on the North.
