How do you do sluicing for gold?
If you want to go sluicing for gold then you need a sluice box
What is the difference between placer mining and sluicing?
Placer mining is looking for a specific mineral/claiming it/mining it Sluicing is a way of "mining gold"
What methods were used to mine for gold?
some of them were panning, sluicing, dry panning, cradling, digging ect

When should sluicing never be done?
It depends on various measures: 1. how much land you have to disrupt, 2. the size of the rocks and if you are crushing them... etc...
Is using a cradle and using a sluice box the same thing?
It is sort of the same except sluicing is harder and finds less gold. I'd say cradling's better.
What was placer mining?
A placer deposit or placer is an accumulation of minerals formed by gravity separation during sedimentary processes. Placer deposits are frequently beaches or river gravels. They are mined by gathering up the ore containing material and sluicing these using water.
Where do you find alluvial gold?
Alluvial gold is typically found in riverbeds, streams, and floodplains where water has eroded gold deposits from their original source and concentrated them in sediment. Prospectors use techniques like panning, sluicing, and dredging to extract alluvial gold from these areas.
Who digs for gold?
Miners typically dig for gold in mines or rivers where the precious metal is naturally found. This process involves extracting gold ore from the ground and then processing it to extract the gold through methods like panning, sluicing, or chemical extraction.
