[QUOTE="shivan, post: 69345, member: 194"] This has been brought up many times in the past, because of confusing wording. It boils down to what you think the rules say(not what do you want them to say), and if asked to defend your decision can you? I use a pump with my highbanker and am willing to to go to court if needed (not saying i would win, but i am willing to fight for what i believe is right). Because my understanding of the rules is: 1) The mechanical water pump is in no way being used for excavation or processing(though it is part of a process for transporting water to the highbanker. The pump itself does not process material, just moves water to the spot i want to work.) as i dig with shovel and pick and process dirt with the highbanker (aided by water). 2) Under the water management Act (or whatever its name) we are lawfully able to use a pump for prospecting/fossicking.
