Coeur d'Alene Gold Prospectors

Gold prospectors shovel sand and gravel into a rocker box, a device used for separating alluvial placer gold, as they mine the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene for mineral deposits, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, circa 1885. Known as 'placer mining', the method is often used for finding precious metal deposits, particularly gold, in alluvium, the sand and gravel of stream beds; the image is one half of a stereoscopic image.
