The term “Placer” comes from a simple technique of extracting gold from river beds, popular during the 1848 California Gold Rush. Gold is heavier than rocks, so the precious metal was sifted twirling sand/gravels/water by a single individual (sometimes with one partner) in a rudimentary prospector’s pan. Unlike hard rock mining, placer mining required no machinery, just hard work and optimism.
