[QUOTE="hippyhunter, post: 575181, member: 11389"] I have to agree. It is wayy the wrong thing he did. I wouldn't give a damn aboit someone popping down the yarra to have a sneaky covert pan, while doing their best not to draw attention. Nobody will get caught out and it will not inpact on our prospecting hobby. But by flaunting it on commercial tv.. sorry but thats cooked. Now, even if by some chance he has legal right to pan where he did, the fact is, he is suggesting to everyone in tv land that its cool great and ok to pan the yarra.. now i would guess a lot of people watching arent going to look up on the internet all the requirements and legalities of prospecting.. they just will get their frypan out after watching the show and head straight to the yarra. That would greatly increase the chances of a greenie seeing this and claimong this is standard prospecting practise leading to lobbying to limit prospecting further. Not really something i agree with him promoting. I hope he will address this in an episode in the very near future, as he is misleading a lot of people with this at the least. [/QUOTE]
