[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 198271, member: 2152"] Here's the thing.....based only on conversations I've had. Dredging was banned because of political pressure and was the response to that political pressure. Since the ban the loudest voice is now the green one. As for legalities about dredging it's pretty cut and dry but so is not wearing a seat belt or talking on your phone whilst driving. What I see you're angling it is like when mobile companies brought out a hands free kit. But they would have submitted to the authorities to check if it could be done. My advice, talk to the authorities, the local ones where you intend to use it and see how you go. I know some here will he like "Don't go stirring them up, it brings undue attention et al. " Realistically though they are the only ones that can decide. Chances are it's a no but try your luck. If in doubt about anything ask and get a written reply. Cover yourself and others that way. Truth be told for the most part they don't like "grey" areas, and I can empathize in Vico. Basically if you move it by hand from a legal area and use whatever process to get your gold your good to go. Bit of backfilling, and couple other minor regs. Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me which is why they frown at grey areas. Better off cultivating a good prospecting buddy and a handy engineer and make the gains that way than risk it, but hey that's just me. [/QUOTE]
