They used water. Water was used to separate edit from the gold. In individual methods a sluce box, rocker, or pan was used. In larger operations hydraulic hoses were used to wash whole hillsides away. You can still see the damage this did to the environment. Finally, with ores the gold was removed from the Quartz by crushing.

Can you separate all mixtures through straining?

No, not all mixtures can be separated through straining. Straining is effective for heterogeneous mixtures, such as separating solid particles from liquids, but it cannot separate homogeneous mixtures where the components are uniformly distributed, like salt dissolved in water. Other methods, such as filtration, evaporation, or distillation, may be required to separate different types of mixtures effectively.
