[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 305180, member: 4915"] Just spoke to Stephen Dangaard President of The NSW & ACT Prospectors and Fossickers Association Inc (NAPFA) had a good chat, very informative person to talk to. He suggested they were overzealous Fisheries Officers pulling me up as he has had several reports of it on the Turon, a river that has 10 metre floods that roll 10 tonne boulders round like marbles. Their main concern is water quality, they are very pedantic about turbidity, so I guess that's why they were very insistent that I was dredging. Even to the extent that panning caused water turbidity. Might need to invest in a ghillie suit and spray my highbanker camo next time I'm back there. I have some geotextile fabric in the shed, I'll take it next time and run my tailings through it...might keep them happy, I dunno.
