[QUOTE="blayke, post: 121320, member: 2379"] i have never dredged so i have no real idea. but this and many other american small scale miners videos including information from gold fever seem to indicate if anything its good for the river system. my thoughts would be if your dredging a small creek, and your moving along the water there would be no potholes left as by dragging a small scale floating dredge behind would fill any holes left, would also mean less erosion by not digging into the banks? is there any documented negative effects or is it just the possibility that a dredge could fail and put petrol/oil into a system that a boat or 4wd could do just as easily? why was it banned in australia?
