[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 368592, member: 7270"] Mbasko has it right in post #137. 'Power operated' are the key words in the regulation. The link to the CWPS article is valid but that article only mentions two types of power operated pumps...petrol and electric but it doesn't exclude other forms of 'power'. It's a stretch to say that because that document mentions two forms of power then any other form of "power operated" is OK. The other key words in the reg are 'processing' and the likely Regulator view of highbanking would be that you are still 'processing' until such time as you have found the material you are after (gold, gems or whatever). Seems to me that the only resolution is to press for power assisted sluicing with some limits (on size, type, volume, impact etc) and get 'processing' removed or better defined in the Regulation. That seems to be the case that NAPFA has been prosecuting but without success (to date). :) [/QUOTE]
