Seems like the ire of everyone in the U.S. has been unleashed upon us. Will we still be allowed to prospect with suction dredges in Indiana, or are we going to be going the way of the Dodo bird? Seriously, anybody have any new news if Indiana is going to be rational about allowing us to continue using our machines, or are there rumbles of new legislation that will seriously hamper, or end suction-dredge use? Need info before I invest in 3-4" dredge. :help: -Gold Duster, Dave.

Did you try and contact any of the GPAA Chapters in Indiana or the Indiana Recreational Gold Prospectors Assoc. ? Good luck and I hope you get a positive answer . If you need help with the new dredger , I'll drive over.

Thanx for the reply, am now leaning I believe towards building a 4" dredger. I enjoy working with my hands. Believe I will enjoy the challenge also. Gold Duster, Dave. :thumbsup:
