Actually amalgamation was (and still is in some parts of the world -
the Brazillian bore dredges use it almost exclusively) a very common
way of extracting gold at that time.  In N. California you can still
find remains of some of the old sluices used during their hydromining
days.  It is almost impossible not to find left over mercury in the
sluices.  I don't know if it would be possible to tell the difference
between mercury used in the refining process and mercury used in
dental amalgam.
