[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 411462, member: 2764"] You need to consider the following: Ok you strike fantastic gold in your dry creek bed. Over a period of time you cart 15 trailer loads of material to the flowing creek where prospecting is not permitted. You process all of that new material in that waterway? Most likely it contains a significant amount of clay particles which result in a turbidity increase and increased sedimentation to that waterway and a noticeable hole in the dried out water course. If someone sees you and steals your spot and then posts it online you may end up with hoards of material transported and deposited in a new location where its not meant to be. This flags up as a negative impact to those that oppose prospecting and new laws are made to limit, exclude, ban & outlaw your hobby. Best to use the seasons to your advantage waiting till water appears at your spot then testing it, to see what you have. ;) [/QUOTE]
