[QUOTE="Banz, post: 471245, member: 14450"] Firstly, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere; I did a few forum searches but couldn't see what I was looking for. Background: A friend saw that I got a detector for Xmas and suggested I check his land out for gold. He reckons there's quartz there which I believe is an indicator that gold may be present. My questions are: 1) Is there a standard arrangement for permission? If I found anything what would the sharing be or would that be part of the arrangement? 2) If I found a small piece of gold would my friend have a legal (or moral!) obligation to let me keep looking or could he take over the search himself? 3) I have an el cheapo Kogan detector. Is there any point looking for gold with it? 4) How can I research an area to find out if there's a chance of gold? In the end I may take him up on his offer to detect on his land as I think it might be interesting and fun, gold or no gold. Saying that, if there's gold out there I'd rather dig it out than leave it there! [/QUOTE]
