[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 22880, member: 214"] I'd like some opinions from experienced people. Is siphon or gravity dredging illegal in Australia. Particularly NSW where I live. In the video below is an example of this type of dredging. I have a mate who has seen on a neighbours property a siphon type dredge that feeds the water and gravel into a sluice . My uninformed opinion is that it would be illegal. It does similar damage to a mechanical dredge? This is in an area with known gold deposits. Not that I want to use this method. Just curious. There is no mechanical pump, just the siphon action like the video. But it's fed into the sluice. Thanks for you're thoughts Rod [video=480,360][url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLyL5fTbnes[/url][/video] [/QUOTE]
