[QUOTE="Marked, post: 27165, member: 1246"] In all honesty, I have spent an evening and a half perusing the details of the various Acts that seem to apply, all of which anyone can access on the internet. I have anecdotal evidence of what actually occurs with rangers in some areas on the list, the advice on the DEPI website, and my common sense (the skill of which I can only attest to from a biased point of view). What I was truly hoping for was someone "in the know" to point me at where I and all the other questioners should be looking to set us straight once and for all. One thing is for certain, though; practice a destructive form of prospecting, leaving excavations that can't or won't be back-filled, and you can and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. With that in mind, it may be better to leave all this as a grey area so that fewer prospectors head into the areas on the list; otherwise that small percentage that you get in any group may well and truly stuff it [i]all[/i] up for the rest of us responsible hobbyists.
