49ers
Gold rush prospectors
The 49ers were prospectors who rushed to California in 1849 seeking gold after its discovery at Sutter's Mill.
The term now refers primarily to the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL football team named for those gold rush migrants: The 49ers are playing the Cowboys on Sunday.
