Evolution of Alluvial Gold Mining Technologies '2279
The methods used to mine alluvial gold deposits in Western America during the gold rush have been known for centuries. These included using the well-known gold pan (batea), the rocker box (or cradle box), the Long Tom, and the sluice box. Each device was a refinement of the previous one. For example, a rocker box handles finer …

Placer Gold Mining Methods
Placer Gold Mining Methods. The gold deposits grouped together under the name of " placers " comprise sands, gravels, or any loosely coherent or non-coherent alluvial beds containing gold. They have accumulated owing to the action of running water, in the beds of rivers, or on the adjoining inundation plains, or on sea beaches.
