[QUOTE="Triple B, post: 527855, member: 17212"] Gday Gold bugs. Im a Newb here and to gold prospecting . Im In NSW and intend to do some casual gold panning in some local creeks. I have read the NSW Fossicking guide and the mining act 1992 and also the 2010 Mining Regulation. My Question is: I want to use a small suction pump to remove gravel from crevices under water.IS this allowed? My understaning is that excavation with hand tools ,as long as they are not powered by mechanical /electrical means is legal. My little hand suction pump will be powered by my muscular strength, and I wont be on native title land. Also I could not find the specific legislation where dredging is specifically banned. I imagine dredging by mechanically/Electrically powered dredger is the problem, as much earth can be moved quickly and damage will be swift and significant. I have searched here , and keep finding conflicting views about hand operated suction pumps. Remembering that the legislation is the law , not someones opinion or even government employee written guides. Here are the relevant links to help refresh the memories: Bugger , cant post them links as I have not made 10 posts yet! :) but Im sure they are in the first post of this rules section. [/QUOTE]
