Guidelines for crevicing

Hi everyone, was wondering what the go is with crevicing in rivers/creeks on private property and national parks, i know the rules on digging but cant really find much on checking holes in the bedrock and crevices?. Are we allowed to travel up the creek/river by water? And is it trespassing if i dont touch the banks?

National parks are out of bounds. No prospecting. Private land , you will need permission from the land owner.

My view if you travel up the river with a cannoo and a paddle you should be fine
however if you up the river of a national park you could be up there without a paddle and a lot less money

Ok thanks just wondering as ive done it in front of a ranger in a national park and he was more intrigued at the gems i was finding, i asked if i could do it and he was fine with it. I had in mind that it wasn't permitted in national parks. I guess im just lucky ive got a good spot and a good ranger.

I usually only take handfulls of gravel from bedrock check it and put it back once im done so i guess he could see i wasn't disturbing much in the river/creek.

Fair enough he was one of the good ones hard to find

Yep, some Rangers are kinder to the genuine bloke who is out just for some fun and shows he isn't making a mess/ disturbing a large area and looks after the place. However its not worth the risk...get a ranger on a bad day, and his bad day will be your worst day of prospecting.
