Many gold prospectors mined by placing a pie pan shaped dish in a stream and gathering some of the sand and a little water. Then they would slowly swirl the dish letting the water fall out. If they found gold, they staked a claim and built a mine by cutting into nearby rocks, digging caves to find more gold.
