Well according to a local newspaper in my area on the front page of the advertiser democrat(a liberal print agency at that) on the front cover was telling about soon there will be more rivers and tributaries will soon be closing to motorized dredging but not saying which ones yet because the enviro's want to ensure the water quality for the atlantic samon and trout I urge everyone that pans and wants to future dredge in our state to join a club fight for our rights let our voices be heard because here were up against the fly fishermans accociation and trout unlimited to name a few and they have big money backers for the lobbyists not only that which I'm very upset with the darn president of the minerals club made comments and said also they should of stopped dredging 50 years ago.........unbelievable just when you thought this went hand in hand with the gem folks? I know there is a lot of you guys out there that just want to stay hidden out of the lime light a little but we need to join clubs and voice and fight for our rights and teach these people what truly its like dredging they make us out that were running excavators and full size rock crushers and screens the way they go about it............all I can say is...... we do not want to become Vermont hands and pans only my friends unless you want to pay $75.00 to sluice I believe the fee is for that that's where we'll be at............don't get me wrong I like to fish like anyone else but anyone that's ever dove while dredging there's a lot of times you will see the fish come to you to check you out to see what you can stir up for them so for those of you that come to maine to vacation gold sluice or family out just to pan if you can join a club that would be great I might have more info after the 21st of this month and this not about just getting membership its another way to show were united as hobby miners from dredgers to panning
