[QUOTE="elrodeo, post: 45708, member: 190"] Use a sluice in Qld ...Yes you can and same goes for highbanker. All material must be dug by hand but process it how you like. You must get a fossicking permit and this can be obtained online here : [url]http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/mining/fossicking/licences-permits/buy-licence-online[/url] There's plenty of us banna benders using sluices, highbankers and even trommels but everything must be dug by hand and absolutely no machinery to be used to dig. In regards to pumps you must not cause any significant turbidity more than 300m downstream also you can not fossick within 40m of any bridge, weir or other structure, unless signs indicate otherwise. The new webpage makes things even more muddier than the previous explanations but quite a few of us have confirmed with Dept of Resources and Mines on what can and can not be done. Basically rules are as clear as mud. Dig by hand , wash as you will via sluice, highbanker or pan. [/QUOTE]
