[QUOTE="condor22, post: 492420, member: 1932"] This needs to be confirmed; but as I understand it. Prospecting Leases in S.A. are almost impossible to detect on. Firstly if it's active, I doubt it. Secondly, many are on private property or pastoral lease, so apart from the lease holders permission if active, you would need the land owner/lease holders permission to enter the land. Part of the area you show in your map is National Park - Forget these areas altogether, you can't detect there. :) That's why most S. Aussies head West, to VIC or to Tibooburra in N.S.W. Even there you need to check the rules in each state...... i.e in VIC Miners Rights (small fee for 10 years) allows you to prospect in many crown land areas, being, all state forest and designated areas in National Parks or State Parks. M Rights also transfers ownership of any gold found from the Crown to you and allows you to sell it for gain. In S.A. we are called fossickers, any gold found is still owned by the Crown (State), but you are allowed to keep it for intrinsic value as a collectors item, but NOT allowed to sell it. [/QUOTE]
