[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 82299, member: 414"] Hi mister B What kind of prospecting do you do ? I think all of us enjoy the beauty of the bush and the native animals in it , that's half the reason behind the hobby for me I am unclear on what the real motivation is behind the push for this ban on sluices If the greens had valid reasons they wouldn't have to tell lies on TV and other media , if they had valid reasons the facts would speak for themselves. The fact that lies or misrepresentations have been made on TV claiming we use "high powered water hoses to blast away the river banks". and that photos of natural erosion that's occurred over thousands of years is being touted as "damage caused by prospectors" should be a clear indicator that their intentions and beliefs are misguided. If I thought there was environmental concerns I wouldn't be in the hobby , sadly there are people in power who want to abuse their priveledges and use it for some kind of point scoring or power trip Fingers crossed that sensibilities prevail [/QUOTE]
