Firstly the miner must live in a camp or drive to the sitedaily, set his equipment and dress in waterproof and insulated clothing and digfor 12 hours, lifting shovels of rock and gravel thru sieves then wash it alldown thru a trough to catch the gold, rinse it out in buckets then then finelysieve it to find the gold flakes and gold dust. The larger nuggets, lentil sizeand grain of rice size may be picked out by hand, very large nuggets like a peaor a grape are EXTREMELY rare and not often found. a full day’s work of 12hours and they may be fortunate to weigh in four grammes of gold. That's aboutthe weight of a handful of Cheerios.”
