This is Fish and Game Code Sections 1600-1616. I know that all sounds absurd, but that's my point.
Heck even panning has a level of mechanics to it. If we were to make it mean no motorized mining equipment at all, then why do we not include "mechanized" mining as well? One could argue that a stream sluice, rocker box or anything else is mechanical. Note that no where in this bill does it say anything about gas or electric motors, just motors period. It is my belief that this does not require a permit for running a motorized High Banker. At no point does this bill mention High Banking or anything other than suction dredging. If you read through the whole bill, it all has to do with, as the title of the bill implies, suction dredging. This sounds like it requires a permit for any motorized mining at all. (a) For purposes of this section, the use of any vacuum or suction dredge equipment, also known as suction dredging, is the use of a mechanized or motorized system for removing or assisting in the removal of, or the processing of, material from the bed, bank, or channel of a river, stream, or lake in order to recover minerals. This whole bill is about, as the title implies, suction dredging. This is SB-637 Suction Dredge Mining Permits Either way here is what I have found and my opinions, feel free to correct or challenge anything! Honestly it would be nice if there were a sticky or something detailing the mining laws for all gold bearing states. This has all been posted before, but figured I would share what I have found in one thread. I have posted and have seen other noobs post questions on the legality of different types of gold mining in CA. I have done a ton of research to figure out what I can and can not do here in CA. I'm new to prospecting\mining, less than a year actually.
