[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 520573, member: 4485"] It's pretty much been covered before here: [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5460&p=1[/url] In short from the Qld Fossicking Act: "38 Use of machinery etc. prohibited. A person fossicking under a licence must not use machinery or equipment (other than a hand tool) to fossick." Under the Act the definition of Fossick/Fossicking includes the Collection of Fossicking Material. Fossicking Material is defined as gemstones, alluvial gold, ornamental stones, mineral specimens etc. My understanding is that processing a bucket of dirt to retrieve Fossicking Material is considered Collection of Fossicking Material so the no machinery or equipment rule applies. Always best to make your own decisions based on info from the relevant state dept. though. You can bet their interpretation of the legislation won't match yours/ours! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
