We can pass muddy water through a filter with pores too small for the dirt particles to pass through. On the other hand, we can also do the reverse and remove the water from the dirt by boiling muddy water and causing the water to evaporate while leaving the dirt behind.

How was the shovel used in the gold rush?

One of the main methods to look for gold was in the rivers for gold nuggets. The miners had a sluce box and rocker to find the gold. The sluce box was a wooden box with an box on top to shovel in dirt and to poor water over the dirt. The dirt/water would run down a tracer that emptied into the river. In the tracer the gold nuggets would fall to the bottom instead of washing out. The rocker had a similar idea but it rocked back and forth to separate the dirt with water. Again shovel fulls of dirt were put into the rocker to separate dirt from gold. The miners doing this would stand in dirt and water all day long with shovels of dirt and water for the few nuggets they could get.
