In 1850, gold was primarily mined using techniques such as panning, sluicing, and hard rock mining. Panning involved washing gravel in shallow water to separate gold from other materials, while sluicing used a longer trough with riffles to capture gold particles. Hard rock mining, which became more prevalent later, involved digging tunnels into the earth to access gold deposits in quartz veins. The California Gold Rush significantly popularized these methods, attracting thousands of prospectors seeking fortune.
