According to Norm, it's a side to side motion and dipping to remove silt. It takes a long time too!
Still sifting, Stacy was able to find one good sized piece as well as several smaller ones. Don't think it would be worth quitting and taking up a life of Gold Panning, it was interesting to learn.
Looking across the street at one of the three churches in this small community of over 60 buildings as well as a home with other buildings seen on nearby streets.
A look inside the one room classroom of the school house. Information said that the school teacher from the era made a very "respectable" sum of $75.00 a month. She was not only to teach a basic education to all grade level kids, she also taught personal hygiene, sex education (remember this was Victorian times!), even how to dress. A teacher then was really a teacher!
