Mercury Contamination from Historical Gold Mining in California

Monitors (or water cannons, fig. 1) were used to break down placer ores, and the resulting slurry was directed through sluices (fig. 2). As mining progressed into deeper gravels, tunnels were constructed to facilitate drainage and to remove debris from the bottom of hydraulic mine pits.

Drywashing For Gold | Mojave Gold Mining

You will get a feel for it. I prefer to fill 5-gallon buckets about half to two-thirds full. That way you can feed the drywasher evenly, and you can keep track of roughly how much gravel you've processed. 40 to 50 pounds per bucket. Late spring and, unfortunately, summer is the best time to drywash gold.

Mining

Although hydraulic mining is sometimes used to mine coal underground, its primary application is on the surface, where it is a practical way to mine relatively fine-grained, unconsolidated material from placers, tailings, alluvium, and lateritic deposits. A major application is in stripping overburden for the development of open-pit mines.

A "sluice box" is a trough-like gold recovering device which has a series of obstructions or baffles, called "riffles", along its bottom edge.While a steady stream of water is directed to pass through, streambed material is shoveled into the upper-end of the box. The flow of water washes the streambed materials through the sluice and over the riffles, which trap …
