[QUOTE="BSellin, post: 35902, member: 1634"] Easy Qs for the morning; I am using a Garrett Ace 250 MD to run around beaches and so far been great, no one has complained and the sunshine is always good. Friends have asked me to join them on a trip to the local Boyne River to check out around the mouth of the Awoonga damn and downstream. They use good ole panning and other contraptions for 'flouring gold' (unsure if that's the right wording) and for having a beer and chilling out away from kids. If I go and take a MD (I know it wont get much but no harm in trying) do I need to take/have a permit? If I take my gear and don't use it and a local ranger gets pokey, do I get into trouble for having the MD on hand? Like having a gun on your body but no licence to carry it? I am aware that may sound silly but reading the fines and regs sounds insane. If you do find something noticeable, IE a 1KG nugget, do you have to declare it to the government or pay tax or what not? Thanks, B [/QUOTE]
