[QUOTE="rc62burke, post: 58070, member: 800"] Hi All I have today made a couple of phone calls to 2 different mining district offices, to get conformation on the use of "Sluices, Highbankers, Dryblowers" in QLD, due to the information in the below links. In one of the links you will see I made a comment that yes you can use a highbanker!!! [URL]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3940[/URL] Have a look at the links. This is what I was told today by 2 officers,[B] No you can't use, Sluice (River), Highbanker, Dryblower, as they are not considered hand tools, to me this is disturbing[/B] I also had a look at the legislation about fossicking & I could no longer find the reference that Electronic metal detectors are able to be used, I am certain 3 years ago it was in this legislation?????????? I will be Following this up & request this direction in writing, then I suggest we all get our minds on the JOB to change these crappy rules, don't they know how much we contribute to the economy. I was under the impression that you could process your gravels with whatever you had at your disposal as long as it was excavated by hand!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers Lee [/QUOTE]
