The first gold-producing sleuce was at Wheeler’s Mill in California.
Most participants in the Gold Rush were panners. Panning is not a quick way to get a lot of gold.
A sleuce captures gold on a rough rug or fleece on it’s bottom. The water and sand just flow past but the gold gets stuck on the fiber surfaces.
Then you burn off the organic matter (rug or fleece) then you make the gold into ingots, rounds, or coins.
So, we got the Half-Circle G Ranch.
So the 1917 Pandemic killed none of us.
So, my grandmother and mother and uncle made it past the Pandemic.
So, here I am. Happy as a lamb. With two shakes of my tail.
