A gold cradle was used to help separate gold from gold-bearing dirt.
Cradling involved a wooden box loosely resembling a cradle. The cradle was used for sifting through larger amounts of sediment to find gold, and was popular from the early times of the goldrushes. It required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.

It is sort of the same except sluicing is harder and finds less gold. I'd say cradling's better.
Actually, the gold rush did not begin until 1851. Methods of extraction included panning, which was the most common method; cradling, which was introduced by Edward Hargarves after he saw the method used in California; puddling; and shaft mining.
