[QUOTE="liege69, post: 198215, member: 5073"] I came across a Video on YouTube whilst looking for details/reviews on the Falcon MD-20 and watched one called using the Falcon MD-20 in the creek. The video is dated December 21, 2011 and the author is a bloke called crampo. At the start he pans the camera across the creek and says that he was dredging and his dredge pump was playing up so he decided to do some crevicing and panning. The guys got an Aussie accent and after watching a review he did of a detector, I saw that he is a retailer from GLENREAGH N.S.W . Now call me crazy, but putting a video out there for all to see, especially engaging in illegal activity, isn't that just sticking it up the governing body and saying "catch me if you can". Is it any wonder that prospectors get a bad wrap. I haven't seen a response regarding a hand pump, ie: the gold n sand variety, so I would assume that it is fine as it is after all manually driven by physically pumping, but I had an idea about designing a small ( really small ) dredge nozzle for crevicing and the water supply would come from a spray bottle ( the pump up pressure type ) used for spraying. Considering I have to pump up the bottle to get the water to flow, would this be legal. I realize there is a fine line do be drawn, as I wont be physically drawing water straight from a creek to run the pump. I'm slightly a little confused as to whether something is permissible if it is not automated ( as in mechanically driven ) like a petrol powered dredge pump. I look forward to some input from you guys. Sincerely Jack [/QUOTE]
