Get Cooking! - Kitchen Tools for California Placer Gold Prospecting

University Library Washington

Englishmen prospecting in Nome, Alaska about 1900.

View an outstanding video demonstrating how to use kitchen utensils to recover gold (in Sierra Nevada). He uses a turkey baster as a snuffer, a pie pan for panning, and a potato masher. You have to check out how he uses a bottomless white plastic bucket, the kind we all use to get that glittery gold. This is just a fun video and really worth the while.
