[QUOTE="Swinging & digging, post: 315613, member: 2764"] I was camped in a GT Goldfield last September. Me and two mates where detecting only & mainly virgin ground. Near our camp someone had been digging away the mullock heaps and processing them like your describing. The gully workings looked very messy and the scars on the landscape where evidence that could be used to prevent our future access. The unsightly holes and unfilled holes throughout the mullock heaps were clearly dug by prospectors all where quite recent, last few weeks, months etc. I doubt you would get very much out of them, i would think if you raised the question with PMAV, Parks & DEWLP you would find it is not legal. I personally would not be doing it. With the current huge popularity of prospecting you would hope that people start filling in their holes and demonstrate prospecting can be done with minimal impact. [/QUOTE]
