[QUOTE="Taz92, post: 47908, member: 2052"] Hey everyone, recently on a trip to New Zealand i finally purchased my first sluice setup! Hooray.I know there is some really awsome information on here but im having a bit of trouble finding out some things. I live in Coffs Harbour and want to go up to my parents place near Nana Glen / Coramba and work some dirt, i have read the regulations for fossicking in NSW and know the permits for State forests etc but some things i cant find. Might sound a bit stupid but here goes... 1. Is there any rules/regulations or permits for venturing to an old gold mine and working some dirt around there? Beacuse if they are privatly owned i would have to get permission etc. Am i aloud to just walk around there and start panning? Which brings me to ask this 2. Ive done a fair amount of research and found alottttt of old gold mines around coffs harbour but no relative information, just a brief location on bonzle.com. So where can i gather information about some of these mines...i was thinking the library? Is there old records stored away anywhere? I know alot of information is with the old miners that have lived around coffs for years and years but its not that easy to get in contact with them..not too sure where to start? I do have some topo maps for around here and a metallogenic map of dorrigo/coffs. I guess thats a start haha Any info is welcome, thanks a bunch Taz [/QUOTE]
