[QUOTE="Digginholes, post: 128551, member: 2490"] This question is asked all the time, state forrests say no pumps which you agree to when buying your Nsw fossiking permit,and I wouldn't be game to try since your vehicle can be confiscated along with all your possessions if the ranger decides to throw the book at you, on crown land ( with permission of lease holders if applicable)using a pump on a high banker to my understanding is fine under the fossickers act as the pump is not processing or excavating material but simply moving water from the stream to the high banker which is allowed under the water management act as long as under a certain amount of water is used. That's only my understanding and opinion though, best to check the regs and interpret them for your self. Also helps to talk to a few locals before making a ruckus [/QUOTE]
