[QUOTE="Guest, post: 29146"] Don't know how you would go there especially if its a forest that is known for gold? I think you would still need State Forests permission to use a metal detector & dig etc. & $22/year isn't much to pay for the privilege/cover your ass anyway. Less than 43c/week. Here is part of a handy list of info here put together by Nugget: [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=319[/url] Australian Metal Detecting Guidelines 1. Do not detect on private property "unless" you have prior permission from the land owner. 2. National Parks are completely off limits. Fines apply and they can be quite heavy. [u](My Edit: this isn't just to fossicking it is metal detecting in general)[/u] 3. Most State Forests require a permit to fossick / detect, they can also be covered under a state specific permit such as VIC Miners Right. 4. Heritage listed properties and buildings can be protected under a number of different Heritage Acts, relics should not be disturbed or removed from these sites unless you are authorised to do so.
