Summary
[edit]DescriptionStateLibQld 2 152279 Working the gold fields at Batavia River, ca. 1931.jpg |
English: Working the gold fields at Batavia River, ca. 1931.
Troughing was dirt. The wash is pulled up the shaft by a horse whip. A certain amount is put in the trough of water and shovelled over a couple of times to wash the sludge out. The water is then drained off and the trough filled afresh. Then the wash is riddled, separating the coarse from the fine. Any big pieces of gold are found in the 'riddle'. The 'fines' are then sent on to the 'banjo'. (Description supplied with photograph.). |
