I put this question to a local ranger in Bendigo a few years back. AAARGH blimey! Ang on a minute maybe it is not even legal to catch yabbies with it. So in the mean time while waiting for a meaningful reply I will consider a Yabby pump to be a Yabby pump and if it happens to suck up a bit of gold with the yabbies then that is great. I wouldn't mind 10 grand for every time I have asked that question over the past 60 years and received no reply. I said that there is confusion among the holders of a Victorian Miners Right in regards to these terms and that they are not defined in the regulations. I also asked for a clear definition of the term "Mechanical" and "Hand Tools", "Dredge", "Power driven" and Machine in regards to the Victorian gold fossicking "Miners Right" rules and regulations. On the 30/12/18 I sent an Email to the Dept Of Earth Resources Of Victoria asking whether Yabby Pumps are a legal gold fossicking tool and is it considered to be a dredge where gold fossicking is concerned?
