I need a simple description of the process of gold mining during the gold rush in the Klondike?

I also need a couple of ways different you have found and exploited the gold.

Panoramic gold panning is a technical manual for most kind of gold. Wide, shallow containers are filled with sand and gravel containing gold. Water is added and the plates were agitated, Sorting the gold from the gravel and others. As gold is much denser than rock, which quickly settles to the bottom of the pan. The sediment is usually removed from stream beds, often at a bend in the river or resting on the bedrock of the river, where the weight Gold makes the separation of water flow. This type of gold found in rivers and streams dry are called pleasure. Panning for gold is the most simple search gold, but is not commercially viable for extracting gold from large deposits, except that labor costs are very low and / or gold traces are very important. Often marketed as a tourist attraction in the old gold mines. Before production methods can be used, a new source must be identified and the picture is a good way to identify placer gold deposits so that they can assess the commercial viability. Metal detecting with a metal detector, a person can walk around the systematic exploration area below the surface. If the meter gives a positive reading a quantity of gold, may have up to one meter below the surface. This technique is very easy to use, highly mobile and very popular among gold diggers. Baldeo use a sluice box to extract gold Placer was a common practice in prospecting and small scale throughout history until today. A sluice box is essentially an artificial channel with rifles set in the background. The rapids are designed to create dead zones in court to help win the gold suspension. The box is placed in the stream to collect water flow and the gold hardware is placed in the top of the box. The material is transported by water through the area where the material of gold and other heavy metals is installed behind the rifles. material lighter out of the box waste. larger commercial operations of Placer trommel screening used to eliminate or alluvial materials such as rocks and more gravel before focusing on a channel or template of the plant. These operations usually include diesel earth moving equipment including bulldozers, excavators, loaders and rock trucks. Dredging. Although most of historical time, the dredging is done by small-scale miners using suction dredges. These are small machines floating in the water and usually implemented by one or two people. Dredged dredger consists of a sluice box with the support of the pontoons, and attached to a suction tube which is controlled at the lower submarine works. Some believe that modern suction dredges have a significant impact on the environment by disrupting the fishing of spawning gravels and fish migration. However, most dredging operations in small-scale local fishermen bustle of the extra food from the river bottom. These machines are much more efficient at extracting smaller gold than the "bucket line" ever was old. This means more possibilities of finding gold than ever. There are some large suction dredges size (100 hp + 10 inch) used in commercial production worldwide. The smallest 2 to 4 inches (100 mm) suction hoses are used to test the areas behind the rocks and along the potential pay streaks, until color (gold) appears for the first time. Other large-scale dredging operations carried out in the river gravel bars exposed at low tide season. These operations typically use a shovel to earth to feed a projection sluicebox gravel and plants floating in a temporary pond dug into the gravel and filled with natural groundwater. Pay gravel is dug from the front tank and processed by the flotation plant, with the gold trapped in sluicebox waste on board and stacked behind the plant, constantly filling the back of the lake that the operation continues. This type of gold mining is characterized by its low cost, as each stone is moved only once, and their low environmental impact, no removal of vegetation or the overload is necessary, and all process water is recycled in its entirety. These operations are typical of the South Island of New Zealand and the Klondike region of Canada. Hard rock Hard rock gold mining is when gold is locked in the rock, rather than as particles in loose sediment. Sometimes open-pit mining is used, as the FT. Knox Mine in central Alaska. Barrick Gold Corporation has one of the largest gold mines in the open in America North, located on its Goldstrike property in northern Nevada. Other gold mines use underground mining, where ore is extracted through tunnels or shafts. the Hard rock mining produces most of the world gold by-product of gold mining Gold is also produced by mining which is not the main product. large copper mines, such as the Bingham Canyon mine in Utah, often recover c
