[QUOTE="dwt, post: 105331, member: 428"] Dredging, not good, digging to bedrock with shovels, cant see the problem, done it many a time, always refilled the area, put it back to the way it was. Had one bloke a while ago come up p###ing and moaning about the size of the hole i had and was digging in a creek, when i asked him the issue he had he couldnt give me an answer..................i did the respectable thing and gave him some clays floating around the bedrock line, sat there and watched him pan out some nice little pin head sized pieces, he's tone soon changed, go figure. :| Dredging is definetly a no no, besides the damage it dose to the enviroment you really dont leave anything for your hobbiest prospectors, digging and refilling a large hole just shows you have a set of stones big enough to have a real dip, and that i find lacks alot nowadays, some people are more interested in p###ing and moaning than having a dip. This is in now way meant to be taken as a "crack" or a "dip" at anyone posting on this thread, or on this forum, just my 2cents :) [/QUOTE]
