No
The govt department said we must use the small hand powered pump to suck up gravel and gold otherwise we are in trouble
WE MUST RESCUE THE GOLD NUGGETS BEFORE THEY GET WET
If i leave any gold in the creek i will feel very very bad
dis is bad ting

If i bend over and suck gravel through my nose , this is also permitted
It is manual method you see with no engine
it has a moving part , my finger which i use to stick inside the other nostril
unfortunately people accuse me of picking my nose but hey........ cant please all the people all the time and its quite easy to distinguish between green nuggets and gold nuggets once they are in the pan

As you said. It is a hand pump, powered by hand just like shovel.
and it is a simple single action device ..... a shovel utilises mechanical advantage, that of a lever to perform it's work - it is a simple machine as well.

The law in Victoria is very vague on this one and you will have to decide for yourself if you want to use one. This has been covered in many threads before always with the same non result. I think they are brilliant and to call it "dredging" at any level will simply give some greenie the green light to make sure they are addressed in the next review of laws even though they have way less impact than even a shovel.PaulFritz said:

I see no harm from yabbie pumps whatsoever yet PaulFritz seems to be pushing an argument that they should be banned
and for the record , if i reach down and scoop up a handful of gravel with my hand , technically that process has several moving mechanical parts , my shoulder , elbow , wrist and all the bones in between.

I've been called a love machine in the past, does that mean i'm banned in these gold areas?
Twapster said:
depends what you use to suck up the gravel buddy :lol:
no offense but i think an elephant would have a higher tonnage per hour ?

Lol maybe one of my ex gf may fit the bill!

Maybe but I can't think what those ping pong balls in the sluice would be used for ?

Looks like a great little spot there mate, ...and how challenging is that flour gold. Hope mum doesn't see the vid, because if she does she'll be putting a lock on the shed.
Cheers Wal.

Oh yer great ending. Very nice work. I'm glad there's so many guys willing to put it all together to share it on here, fantastic inspiration. Sometimes a few minutes of video can be as helpful an entertaining as as fifty separate posts, looks like a great time in a great spot, can't wait to see the next golden adventure. Thanks for an awesom e share.
