[QUOTE="Pete_&_Rie, post: 68817, member: 2516"] Cheers guys for this very interesting topic ;) As a relatively new bloke to Vic, im keen to get the good oil on the local mining law and it's varied "Foggy at best" interpretations that every state seems to diligently and Purposefully provide for us good folk. Quick Q: Not having already read the Vic mining act, would i be correct by thinking laterally and assuming as in other states that panning, non mechanized sluicing, sieving, detecting or just generally having a look or specking for minerals inc gold comes under the heading of "Fossicking" and not Mining, and is therefore exempt from a great deal of the states Mining Act. ??? Every state has the same old run around when it comes to the "correct" interpretation of the Mining Law and no doubt Vic is also hamstrung by those same antiquated land locking laws. Having just moved over from WA i'm well up to speed on their Mining Law, and now i'm getting my teeth stuck into the Vic Mining Act, but Geez "Mr Gov man" for once, could you not just lay the law out straight and easy for us poor confused folk... There goes our planned run to Crooked river for a weekend session. Cheers in advance Pete :cool: [/QUOTE]
