Title
Puddling
Description

Puddling was the means of breaking up clayey ground containing gold. In the first rushes, this was done in a squat wooden drum, by adding water and agitating the clay with a shovel (foreground of drawing). Later, horse-powered puddling machines were introduced (rear of drawing).
