Diggings description |
---|
The Diggings was a colloquial term for the gold rush locations in Australia and the United States beginning in the 1850s. Gold miners - the diggers - would describe their journey "to the diggings" and say they were "at (or on) the diggings." Because of the speed at which a "rush" to a particular location might occur, or at which it might be abandoned at news of another rush, the term diggings tended to apply to general areas. * In Victoria, some of the major diggings were Ballarat, Bendigo (Sandhurst), Mount Alexander or Forest Creek, Ovens Valley and Omeo. * In the US the major gold rushes were the California gold rush, the Colorado gold rush and the Alaska gold rush. * As surface gold diminished and mining companies replaced individual diggers, the term "diggings" dropped out of use. * The miners used a shovel, a pan, a cradle or sluice box and other tools to dig for gold. |
