[QUOTE="Fishman, post: 271454, member: 6666"] This is a reply I received from Justin Fritz. I have received your enquiry below. The Fossicking Act 1994 states in section 38 that the use of machinery is prohibited and restricts a licenced person to hand tools. So the view we take is that you can use any devices that are powered by human power. Therefore so long as you are pumping the water for a sluice etc by hand (or foot pedal etc) and rotating/shaking anything by hand then that would comply with the Act. Definitely no petrol driven pumps are permitted under the Act.
