威肯勃格镇的淘金潮日
地方性遗产
您想亲手进行采金矿的工作吗？只要参加亚利桑那州的威肯勃格镇的淘金潮日，就有机会一试身手了！每一年，威肯勃格商会都会赞助举办庆祝大会，旨在表彰该镇的矿业及牧业常规，而参加者都有机会参与挖金及淘金工作！
无论在何处发现黄金，当地总是会涌入一大批想要快速致富的人潮，这也是淘金潮的由来。当冒险家威肯勃格(Henry
Wickenburg)于1863年，在哈萨亚姆帕河沿岸发现黄金后，它不只带来了淘金潮，更促成威肯勃格镇的造镇。
1948年，威肯勃格商会决定举办一项庆祝活动，藉以表彰黄金的发现；竞赛项目包括了钻
岩和除渣比赛及淘金比赛。钻岩及除渣是将黄金自地面挖出来的方式，除渣机是一台机器，负责挖出地下的石头，并将这些碎石运送至输送带上，而手动除渣则是指工人由开挖矿砂及不要的石头。淘金则是自溪流及河水中，将金砂及金粒分离出来的方式；
采金矿是一项相当耗时又耗力的工作！
How would you like to strike gold? There is a gold rush going on in Wickenburg, Arizona. You just have to get in and muck about! Every year, the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce sponsors a festival to celebrate the town's mining and ranching heritage, and participants get to shovel and pan for gold!
Wherever gold is discovered, there is usually a large rush of people who are hoping to get rich quick, which is why it is called a "gold rush." When Henry Wickenburg, an adventurer, discovered gold along the Hassayampa River in 1863, it caused a gold rush, and the town was founded.
In 1948, the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce decided to hold a festival in honor of this discovery. Contests include a drilling and mucking contest and a gold-panning contest. Drilling and mucking is the way that gold is taken from the ground. A mucker is a machine that gets the rock out of the ground and moves broken rock onto a conveyor belt. A hand mucker is a man who shovels ore and unwanted rock out of a mine. Gold panning is the way in which gold dust and flecks are removed from streams and rivers. It takes a lot of work to strike gold!
