[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 428624, member: 2764"] For the Record the PMAV fought very hard to retain dredging, the battle lasted 10 years, 1980 until 1990 when the Victorian ban on the activity was implemented. The PMAV also rallied very hard to get Dredging back post 1990, a State Government panel studied the effects and everything to do with Gold Dredging in 1994, the decision was made, "TO LEAVE THE BAN IN PLACE". This decision was made on number of factors, negative effects to Streams, negative effects on other user groups, like fisherman & campers & nearby landowners etc. Back then Gold prospecting was not as popular as it is now, a great deal of more land has been withdrawn from Prospecting access, more National Parks etc. No matter how many numbers get involved dredging will never be legal again, if it where there would be 50 times more people doing it that there was before in much less available locations. U Tube and prospecting forum promotion of locations would result in significant crowding at locations and create significant problems the led to existing bans. USA allows dredging in some locations but that is changing very rapidly: California banned Gold Dredging & so has Oregon, Idaho and other states are following with banning proposals etc. [/QUOTE]
