Only hand tools or High Banker and pump or 4" and smaller dredge?

To be fair, I wont even use it, just offering to get the paperwork sorted for a group of interested blokes i guess someone would need to pick a place or maybe two. I you had one on the Coast and one in Otago lets say, you could rely on the permitted activity rules and avoid resource consent. then you only have LINZ/DoC issues to work around Edited by user Thursday, 31 March 2016 6:45:48 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

If someone foots the costs I'm sure I could. Not sure what the advantage is though, being tied to paydirt? Anyone can register a company.

Anyone can register a company. the only reason i was thinking that was ..instead of a totalitarian dictatorship where only one person has the title and calls the shots. it is split into 5 equal bits among elected trustworthy admins?... so if there was a change in rules ect you would need a majority vote.

I met Dale on the claim once (he caught me inspecting a shovel full lol) well I didn't know I was in his claim lol.... Anyway he was a good bugger we had a yarn I understood exactly where he was coming from....no threats etc (he'd be a fool to push it) but hey he would have been within his right I guess. What was the price I need a change of lifestyle the economy's fucked where I am time to rent the house (or sell) and try a different way to make money :D I do believe a lot of the good spots have since been sucked clean since he's had it but how can you prove it without cleaning the gravel?
