I believe moving material by mechanical means covers it.

If you have pedals then you have a crank & therefore you have a mechanical advantage & a pump to provide water pressure to work the venturi.
We may not like the laws that are put in front of us but that is what we have!!
Currently in QLD, you cannot use - River sluice, Highbanker, Dredge, Dryblower, Trommel. Only sieves & pans, what a load of crap!!!
I believe that QLD's fossicking laws are to restrictive & require a huge overhaul.
I will be working on this for all QLD'ers this year, I think if we have a united voice & demonstrate the importance of our economic contribution to the smaller communities we may get some changes through.
I do feel that in the interim that all prospectors should conduct themselves so as to not draw attention to our hobby in a negative respect.
Once I get a bit organised I will be putting out a petition & will be asking for support from around the state.
cheers

is it actually illegal to use a yabby pump?
For the purposes of fossicking for "Gold" or other minerals!!! YES
But not for fishing!!! & this will be one of the arguments put forth!!!!

I was having this discussion a while back as my understanding was no sluices highbankers etc but im sure I wad proven wrong.... does it say anywhere that you cannot process yoir material with a sluice once hand excavated?

I agree with the poupose of the laws to minimise haul, I'm thinking if these laws didn't exist it would be even harder for me to find it and worse for generations to come. my suggestion for concideration is...if its all about minimising material processed then why cant I build an run for e.g a really mini(micro) turbo trommel for my concerntrates I dig?

this was the previous thread, I do believe the section highlighted in Bold is in "tools used for excavation"

That's considered mechanical ! shows how stupid these laws are !
The wording of the laws is so grey that it opens the door for interpretation , so guess it depends on the personality of who is doing the checking ?

I don't agree - a sniffer bottle only takes advantage of natural atmospheric pressure - no mechanism is employed in it's operation.

Just make sure you have your fishing rod and fishing licence sitting beside you.

I want a sniffer bottle that I can just wave over gold to suck it up without any outside forces to make to operate
