[QUOTE="XIV, post: 15147, member: 735"] first of all there was groups of ppl doing this with no respect for there surroundings, as i am shore there where plenty out there that practised it to the way it should of been done. The government of the day stated! Harmfull to fish frogs and aquatic life! Causes in stream and bank erosion of stream channel Increases turbidity, ( Muddy Water ). Remobilses mercury. Noise pollution. Serious conflicts with other outdoor activities. Causes significant silting of streams. some of the foke that talk about it are either on one side of the fence or the other some say it removes the led and mercury others say it it only stirs it up and brings it back to the surface if you want to have an argument bring up this topic around prospectors, if ppl didn't leave mess and destroy everything and made no trace that they where there, then it might not of been banned other country's are following suite and banning it also, hope this helps you out a little Kane [/QUOTE]
