    My buddy and claim owner neighbor came by for me to help him with some mapping and we got talking about all the water this year and his gravity system which is a 6" pipe with 3" nozzle sucking from the upper end and dumping in a sluice box. I'm glad he is upstream from us because he's sent plenty of fine gold and flakes our way. So I decided to try my hand at this using a different concept with 100 ft. of 3' corrugated plastic pipe necked down to 11/2" at the bottom to make head and ai11/4" suction hose .At  first I used a sluice then a bucket dumping into a sluice and last converting an old high banker into a stream banker by opening up the end. This worked great and with all the tremors in ca. a lot of material fell off the bank into the creek so you could also shovel into the banker. completely legal even in the non motorized areas and just drives them crazy.

      Great idea, that should annoy the BLM & USFS & the Fish & Game nut cases.

    May work for others, but when out legislators got wind of it a couple of years ago as a "work around" they put in it into the bill as well.

    I tore the fish and game regs. apart that were adopted jan. 1 2016 and there is no ban on gravity suction but its all water board here in ca, that's calling the shots, a bunch of gay and lesbian appointees that live at lake Tahoe and run down every mourning to see if there is a turd floating on the lake. They are holding hearings right now on the mercury issue and there idiotic assumption is that dredging stirs it up and of course they say we are not catching it. Another fact is that there will only be 1500 permits issued and most of them have been issued to the phony mercury cleanup firms and the big dredgers cleaning harbors and such, the little guy doesn't have a chance. There is 23 1/2 million ibs. of mercury missing in ca. from the gold rush or thirty five %. Its all a scam. Tom

       Well Tom...It's up to you and I and the few folks here who care about it...To actually do something about it. Because I'm 100% sure that the GPAA leadership will say nothing about it...Do nothing about it...And post nothing about it as usual. Pathetic. That's the only word I have to describe the GPAA leadership...Pathetic.

        I suggested a 10,000 person march on the California Capital to secure our 1872 Mining Act rights...Kevin Hoagland didn't think it was a good idea.

       Well...I was part of a 10,000 person march on California's Capital when classic cars were being threatened by the Communists running California. We won...They exempted classic cars from their tyrannical smog check ll program.

       Soooooooo Kevin is wrong...It does work...He or they (GPAA leadership) wont do it. Period. So good luck getting anything done GPAA members...If you're going to wait for the GPAA to do something, it's going to be forever. Sad isn't it?
