[QUOTE="Diggerdude, post: 76268, member: 308"] Sounds like just another fairy tale to me. It's pretty easy to check court records for prosecutions under the mining act, I have done it before. Last time I checked there had been 1 prosecution in the last 10 years, he was given a small fine and kept all his gear. Even in WA there has only been 2 prosecutions in 10 years. And that's because one guy was caught using a dozer on someone else's lease, he was given a friendly 'hey cobber you can't do that here' and was only fined after ignoring them and continuing. And the other one was employees of a mining company pinching ore. Beechworth is famous for spreaders of fairy tales, most of the stories come from local prospectors trying to keep the area to themselves. DD [/QUOTE]
