DCHP-2
gold seeker gold-seeker DCHP-2 (October 2016)
n. — Mining
one who searches for gold.
Type: 5. Frequency — The term has a modest claim to Canadianness by virtue of domain frequency (see Chart 1). While gold rushes peopled much of British Columbia and the Yukon in the late 1850s and the late 1890s, respectively, gold seekers are not unique to Canada. In the Canadian North, however, gold seeking activities are probably more prevalent today than in other regions, which explains Chart 1.
See also COD-2, which labels the term "esp. Cdn".
