به خواندن ادامه دهیدA rocker box (also known as a cradle) is a gold mining implement for separating alluvial placer gold from sand and gravel which was used in placer mining in the 19th century. It consists of a high-sided box, which is open on one end and on top, and was placed on rockers. The inside bottom of the box …
به خواندن ادامه دهیدAt the very dawn of the Gold rush to California, the rocker box was perhaps the most used piece of gold prospecting equipment. For a time it was perhaps even more important that the gold pan.Mostly this was because the miner could make a rocker for himself in the field from rough sawn lumber cut in the forest.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدGold Sluicing Sluicing is the use of a "sluice box" in a creek or river to separate gold from gravel. (See our sluice kit below for a quick and easy way to get started with sluicing for gold.) A sluice box is a metal, wood, or plastic channel that has "riffles" and other devices in it to catch gold.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe rocker box, or "cradle," was a popular tool used by miners during the early gold rushes. They were portable devices that were able to capture much more than just a gold pan alone. Their design was relatively simple. Rather than using an active flow like a sluice, water was fed into the head of the rocker box …
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe idea is to position a sluice box in a running stream so that the water does the work-- separating the dirt and rocks away from the gold. Since gold is heavy, it will stay in the bottom of the sluice, trapped in the miner's moss. A good rule of thumb is to set your sluice at a grade of one inch per foot of drop.

Resembling a box on skids or a poorly designed sled, a rocker sorts materials through screens. (Figure 1). Rockers are built in three distinct parts, a body or sluice box, a screen, and an apron.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدIsaac Humphrey is said to have introduced the rocker, or cradle, to the California gold fields as well. A rocker was simply a rectangular wooden box, set at a downward angle and mounted on a rocking mechanism, usually like the rockers on a rocking chair. At the top was a sieve, and at the bottom was a series of cleats, or "riffles."
به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe rocker is only a primitive machine, having a capacity but one-fifth as great as that of the sluice box, but because it is cheap, requires but little water, and saves a high percentage of coarse gold, the rocker will continue to be used in many districts.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدGold panning, or simply panning, is a form of placer mining and traditional mining that extracts gold from a placer deposit using a pan. The process is one of the simplest ways to extract gold, and is popular with geology enthusiasts especially because of its low cost and relative simplicity.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدSluicing is the use of a "sluice box" in a creek to separate gold from gravels. A sluice box is a metal, wood, or plastic channel that has "riffles" and other devices in it to catch gold. The sluice box is placed in the water with the entrance of the box upstream, so water flows through the box. The sluice box is set with a slight downhill tilt ...

به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe cradle can also be called "rocker box". The Gold Cradle was faster and involved less work than other methods of searching for gold. describing the cradle. Cradling involved a wooden box with a handle on one side and a ridged bottom covered with a hessian cloth.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدA rocker box uses less water than a sluice box and is suitable for areas with limited water. A rocking motion provides the movement of water needed to separate gold in placer material from gravity. Hard rock mining. Hard rock gold mining extracts gold in rock instead of fragments in loose sediment, producing most of the gold in the world.
