Yes there are quite a few of the researched areas that have water access and I would say are dredgable (long arm or dive) in my view........but
The club doesn't dictate what equipment is used at any of the researched areas, being these researched areas are BLM or FS administered lands, then the 1872 mining law applies to any bonafide prospector/miner exploring for mineral and gem deposits within those lands. You as the prospector/miner have to make the call as to what equipment best suits your needs for the situation at that time and place to sample and process those samples you are attempting to test.
We get this question a lot still so I thought I would bump it back up for others to learn from.
Great info Dan!
