[QUOTE="Dozzer, post: 27047, member: 1208"] I gave Mineral Resources Tasmania a call and spoke to their prospecting/sluce expert. He was not just extremely helpfull, but a nice bloke to boot. The good oil is this, sluices are ok to use as long as they are small eg caried by one person. The use of a small water pump to feed it is also ok. The key to it in his opinion is to keep it small and fair to other prospectors, who may come after you. Don't rape the place. The big one though, is not to make a mess. Nothing will stuff this up for all prospectors, faster, in this Green dominated state, than to leave a moonscape of destruction in our wake. With that said at some point, I will build a small sluce and gravity feed it. The thought of a noisy two stroke blairing away, destroying the serenity of the Weld river rainforest, is a bit to much for me. But I am keen to give one a go. Bring on somer and some lower water levels. :P [/QUOTE]
