Flakes of gold are fairly heavy, but flakes of rock and sand are not. So the goal is to stir up the muck that you shoveled out of the river bed and let the water wash away the light stuff (the sand and rock) while the heavy stuff (the gold) settles to the bottom of the pan. A "cradle" was just a bigger version that would rock, well, like a cradle, so that the gold miner didn't have to do ALL the work by himself.
