What was the cradle used for in the gold rush?
The cradle separates dirt, clay and gravel from gold. As the miner rocks the cradle, water washers threw the dirt, separating out the gold. Cradling 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.
