[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 428907, member: 4105"] I dont believe that if you wrote in your mining lease application specifically 'dredging' or 'hydraulic mining' it would be approved. Generally in your plan of operations you would indicate 'how' you going to mine. Your approval would depend on how thorough and well written your application was. I have a 2' and a 5' dredge, both used for sampling prior to moving my gear. A lot more 'damage' is done then, than with the little dredge. Where everything becomes a problem for a hobbyist, is they are not on a mining lease, they are generally on public land, where this sort of disturbance would be frowned upon. I believe in the hobbyist dredge ban, I dont believe in the hibanker ban. I believe in harsher peanlties ENFORCED for prospectors that 'bend' or down right disobey the rules...
