What were gold cradles used for in the goldfields?

Gold cradles, also known as cradles or rocker boxes, were used in goldfields during the gold rush era to separate gold from gravel and sediment. These devices allowed miners to wash material more efficiently than panning, utilizing a rocking motion to create a flow of water that helped separate heavier gold particles from lighter debris. Gold cradles typically featured a sloped bottom with riffles to catch the gold as the material was washed away. This method significantly increased the amount of gold recovered compared to traditional panning techniques.

What were gold cradles and how were they used?

A cradle for sifting gold was a box up to a metre wide and 2m in length, with handles to enable it to be "rocked" back and forth to sift gold-bearing dirt. The dirt would fall through a sieve to the ground below, sometimes aided with buskets of water to wash it through, and the larger flecks of gold would remain above the sieve. Dry cradles were used where there was little water. Gold cradles often required four men to operate them effectively but they could work through a lot of dirt more quickly than other methods.
