[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 406873, member: 4915"] Oh, I was not offended? although I'm not sure why Whisp got worked up? It seems like the idea sits on the fringe like carbide bomb fishing, you know it's not right even if it works really well. I don't think Fun Police figure into it in any way. They certainly work, but I don't think we should promote the idea. It's enough we have to put up with dredges and they work really well. If people started placing permanent sluices in our rivers and creeks every few hundred metres I'm pretty sure someone is going to get jack of it pretty fast. Fisheries came down on me because my tailings were making a wash 10-15 metres below me, trying to tell me it could cause a fish kill, what would they say if I was down my favourite spots with formwork pouring a cement slab into the river, that understandably would be an environmental hazard, and really I don't want all the gold, I'm happy to leave some for you and your kids and their kids.
