One of the most popular ways of separating gold from rock, is gold panning, and it is a very big tourist attraction in Kalgoorlie WA (Australia).

Gold panning usually takes place on the inside bend of a stream, and a wide and shallow pan is used. The pan is filled with rocks and gravel that might have gold concealed within them. The gravel, rocks (and possibly gold) is submerged in water, letting the much denser gold sink underneath the rocks, making it easy to collect.

What equipment did the gold rush use?

The full answer depends on which gold rush you're talking about. But if you're referring to the most famous gold rush in America that occurred in 1849 in California, then most of the miners were prospecting for placer gold (as opposed to hard rock mining, where the gold is trapped inside the rock). For placer mining, the miners mostly used: - picks and shovels (to loosen and gather gold-bearing dirt for processing) - gold pans (to separate gold from the dirt) - sluice boxes (to separate gold from the dirt) - rocker boxes (to separate gold from the dirt) For hard rock mining, a lot of other equipment is needed, such as dynamite, to get the ore, crushers to crush the ore, mules and mining carts to haul the ore, mining hats and carbide lanterns, etc.
