[QUOTE="Magpiez, post: 116053, member: 4159"] So where is the evidence of dredging? I don't need to ask what creek. You have made some extremely erroneous statements not supported by fact and/or logic. Dredging is indiscriminate, it removes EVERYTHING, therefore if a dredge was used the dredged material would still need to be sieved to extract gems, which is something you seem to dispute. If you think a dredge will discriminate between gems and spoil, think again. We all know that a vacuum cleaner sucks up anything and everything on the floor,... dust, dirt, money or jewellery and the only way to get the valuables back is by sifting through the dust bag and dredges are no different, you will need to sieve it to get results. Anyway, why I decided to comment in this thread was because someone I know told me about your posts and what a fuss you were creating due to your sweeping seriously erroneous and unsubstantiated statements. I felt it appropriate to enlighten you and set the record straight with any forum members that may have been mislead by your posts. I can tell you that I know exactly where you are talking about, know who did it and can guarantee you that there were NO dredges involved. All of the work was done by a "Cyclone" (you can get one from any Bunnings store). HOWEVER, you do need a well trained Cyclone, it has to be one that is prepared to really work hard and put in a big effort. I should add though that the Cyclone working that particular place was not only an exceptionally hard worker but also liked to do things "properly",.... just like the old timers used to do.. Rest assured, find yourself a decent cyclone with a great work ethic and you will get the same results. [/QUOTE]
