Yes, a cradle is used in mining, specifically in the context of gold mining. Also known as a rocker box, it allows for the separation of gold and other heavy materials from lighter sediment. Water is poured into the cradle while it is rocked back and forth, helping to wash away the lighter materials and concentrate the heavier ones. This method was particularly popular during the gold rushes of the 19th century.
The tools that are used in shaft mining are a cradle, a windlass, a bucket and a pick.shovels, carbide lamps, tipples, mules and ponies.
Yes it it used today!!! For mining and demolishing old buildings making towns, paths, but mostly for MINING!!!!!
There are some technological methods that are used in mining are:Open-cast mining : Open-cast mining is done when a mineral is located very close to the surface. In the open-cast mining, different minerals are taken out by removing the surface layer. Open-cast mining is famous for coal mining in India and many other countries.Shaft mining : The word 'shaft' refers to deep bores. In the shaft mining, deep bores are created to reach mineral deposits. This is because, these deposits lie at great depths. Petroleum and natural gas are extracted by shaft mining.

Mining companies can and should reinstate the land after they have mined it.
The mining cradle, also known as a rocker box, was invented by William Tom Jr in 1851. It was used in gold mining operations.

is needed to to load rocks and dirt into the pan and cradle
A California gold rush mining cradle, also known as a rocker box, typically weighed between 50 to 100 pounds (23 to 45 kg). This weight varied depending on the materials used in its construction and the design. The cradle was designed to be portable, allowing miners to easily transport it to different sites in search of gold.

The mining method that uses water power to separate gold from dirt is called placer mining. In placer mining, water is used to wash away the lighter materials, leaving behind the heavier gold particles. This method is commonly used in riverbeds, streams, and beach deposits where gold is found.
To mine gold the equipment used were pick axe and that is it. actual there are many things used to mine gold E.G a pan cradle sluice string(for shaft mining) now that's all!
Torture.
A Cradle is a bed for a baby. The word is used to express the place where something begins or the place of its infancy. Example: "Philadeophia was known as the Cradle of Liberty".
Ruby Mining
Cradling involved a wooden box loosely resembling a cradle. The cradle was used for sifting through larger amounts of sediment to find gold, and was popular from the early times of the goldrushes. It required at least two men to work. The cradle had a grate and a sieve. The dirt and sediment to be sifted through was emptied onto the grate in the cradle. The cradle was rocked quickly back and forth (in the action of a cradle) while water was poured over the sediment to help work it through. The grate stopped coarser stones from going through, while the fine material was sifted out the other end. The gold would be left behind for easy collection.
