Depth of removal Victoria

[casper]

My understanding is that only the mineral you are prospecting for may be removed from site - material excavated should be processed on site and used to back-fill. I think I have read that some of the forum members remove material to process, but return it to where it was collected once processed. Many people remove concentrated materials (cons) for final processing - I am sure this would not be more than a bucket's worth of material...

As an example ..... 5 hours at the creek last Sunday actively digging, classifying, and feeding an AM RECON sluice produced barely half a litre of concentrates and weighed less than a stubby of beer.

Just remember guys that it is standard that any hole or trench over 1200mm deep needs to benched back, that standard equation is 500 x 500 steps. There is a reason for, trenches and hole do collapse, whether by hydrostatic pressure or poor loose ground.

Remember not point finding it, if you don't make it home
