[QUOTE="rc62burke, post: 69449, member: 800"] Hi Shivan "But under that logic you could not even use the water to pan, as you are still using the water to aid in processing, why would you move water to an area if you cant use it? The NSW water management act allows us to pump water for the legal act of fossicking, with no restrictions on how it is used for that persuit." My blue I should have said "Pumped to a holding tub & then used for processing eg gravity flow to a sluice or by bucket" Mbasko "Your talking about gaining mechanical advantage not being mechanically powered as per NSW legislation. You also gain mechanical advantage by using shovels, picks, screwdrivers, levers etc. etc. etc. Mechanically powered is a completely different thing" Mate I am interested to here & see how you guy's interpret the REG's, the tools you mention above are all hand tools no argument there & any hand tool will give you a mechanical advantage!! To me it is clear that when you set up your highbanker & connect a hose to a pump the setup becomes one unit, the banker won't run without the pump (I know you can use a bucket But where not talking about "Bucket Bankers"). Like I said it's all crap, would I stop using the said equipment? NO WAY!!! Enough from me on this. cheers Lee The way I see it is there will be someone charged at some point. [/QUOTE]
